of 21 May 2010
on the division between ‘deliveries’ and ‘direct sales’ of national milk quotas fixed for 2009/2010 in Annex IX to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 69(1) in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 67(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that producers may have one or two individual quotas, one for deliveries and the other for direct sales and quantities may be converted from one quota to the other only by the competent authority of the Member State, at the duly justified request of the producer.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 416/2009 of 20 May 2009 on the division between ‘deliveries’ and ‘direct sales’ of national milk quotas fixed for 2008/2009 in Annex IX to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 (2) sets out the division between ‘deliveries’ and ‘direct sales’ for the period from 1 April 2008 to 31 March 2009 for all Member States.
(3) In accordance with Article 25(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 595/2004 of 30 March 2004 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EC) No 1788/2003 establishing a levy in the milk and milk products sector (3), Member States have notified the quantities which have been definitively converted at the request of the producers between individual quotas for deliveries and for direct sales.
(4) The total national quotas for all Member States fixed in point 1 of Annex IX to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 72/2009 (4) were increased with effect from 1 April 2009. Member States, except Malta, which has no direct sales part of its national quota, have notified the Commission of the division between ‘deliveries’ and ‘direct sales’ of the additional quota.
(5) It is therefore appropriate to establish the division between ‘deliveries’ and ‘direct sales’ of the national quotas applicable for the period from 1 April 2009 to 31 March 2010 fixed in Annex IX to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
(6) Given the fact that the division between direct sales and deliveries is used as a reference basis for controls pursuant to Articles 19 to 21 of Regulation (EC) No 595/2004 and for the establishment of the annual questionnaire set out in Annex I to that Regulation, it is appropriate to determine a date of expiry of this Regulation after the last possible date for these controls.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
The division, applicable for the period from 1 April 2009 to 31 March 2010, between ‘deliveries’ and ‘direct sales’ of the national quotas fixed in Annex IX to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 is set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall expire on 30 September 2011.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine, ovine and caprine animals and swine, fresh meat or meat products from third countries(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1452/2001(2), and in particular Articles 14 and 22 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The animal health conditions and veterinary certification for imports of fresh meat from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Paraguay and Uruguay are laid down by Commission Decision 93/402/EEC of 10 June 1993 concerning animal health conditions and veterinary certification for imports of fresh meat from South American countries(3), as last amended by Decision 2001/538/EC(4).
(2) Outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease were confirmed in Uruguay starting on 23 April 2001 and a program of vaccination of bovines against foot and mouth disease has been introduced.
(3) The Commission suspended the importation into the Community of all categories of fresh meat from those species susceptible to foot-and-mouth disease by Commission Decision 2001/388/EC(5).
(4) A Commission mission took place, from 25 to 29 June 2001, in order to examine the epidemiological situation regarding foot-and-mouth disease and the control measures in place.
(5) The competent veterinary authorities of Uruguay have addressed the concerns arising from this mission and the disease situation has stabilised. It is therefore appropriate to lift the suspension of imports into the Community of de-boned fresh meat produced from animals of the bovine, ovine and caprine species for human consumption and on certain meat and offal intended for treatment for pet food.
(6) Notwithstanding the above, fresh meat produced according to the conditions laid in Article 2(1)(a) and (b) of Decision 2001/388/EC shall still be authorised according to the Community requirements in force at the time of slaughter of the animals from which the meat was derived.
(7) Decision 93/402/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
Annex II to Decision 93/402/EEC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.

Whereas as regards projects for expanding the processing capacity for vegetables and soft fruit, approval of the amendment may be extended only to projects which relate primarily to the processing of basic products obtained in Northern Ireland;
Whereas vehicles for the delivery or distribution of final products are not eligible for Community financing; whereas facilities at the retail level are also excluded from being eligible for financing under the Regulation;
Whereas in so far as the amendment concerns the installation of cold stores, approval may extend only to that part which is connected with processing and marketing facilities and whose purpose is not the storage of intervention products;
Whereas the said amendment contains sufficient of the details listed in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 (other than for non-Annex II products on which no decision can be taken at this stage), to indicate that the objectives laid down in Article 1 of the said Regulation can be achieved in respect of the abovementioned sectors; whereas the estimated time for the implementation of the programme does not exceed the limit laid down in Article 3 (1) (g) of the Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structure;
The amendment to the regional programme for Northern Ireland communicated by the Government of the United Kingdom on 3 May 1985 pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 and for which additional information was provided on 20 August, 2 September and 23 October 1985, is hereby approved subject to the reservations set out in the recitals above.

of 7 February 2002
fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for molasses in the sugar sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sugar(1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 of 23 June 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for imports of molasses in the sugar sector and amending Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(2), and in particular Article 1(2) and Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 stipulates that the cif import price for molasses, hereinafter referred to as the "representative price", should be set in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(3). That price should be fixed for the standard quality defined in Article 1 of the above Regulation.
(2) The representative price for molasses is calculated at the frontier crossing point into the Community, in this case Amsterdam; that price must be based on the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market established on the basis of the quotations or prices on that market adjusted for any deviations from the standard quality. The standard quality for molasses is defined in Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(3) When the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market are being established, account must be taken of all available information on offers on the world market, on the prices recorded on important third-country markets and on sales concluded in international trade of which the Commission is aware, either directly or through the Member States. Under Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68, the Commission may for this purpose take an average of several prices as a basis, provided that this average is representative of actual market trends.
(4) The information must be disregarded if the goods concerned are not of sound and fair marketable quality or if the price quoted in the offer relates only to a small quantity that is not representative of the market. Offer prices which can be regarded as not representative of actual market trends must also be disregarded.
(5) If information on molasses of the standard quality is to be comparable, prices must, depending on the quality of the molasses offered, be increased or reduced in the light of the results achieved by applying Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(6) A representative price may be left unchanged by way of exception for a limited period if the offer price which served as a basis for the previous calculation of the representative price is not available to the Commission and if the offer prices which are available and which appear not to be sufficiently representative of actual market trends would entail sudden and considerable changes in the representative price.
(7) Where there is a difference between the trigger price for the product in question and the representative price, additional import duties should be fixed under the conditions set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95. Should the import duties be suspended pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95, specific amounts for these duties should be fixed.
(8) Application of these provisions will have the effect of fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for the products in question as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The representative prices and the additional duties applying to imports of the products referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 are fixed in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 8 February 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

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 amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1027/79 [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 25 October 1980, the Italian Government has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "Perkin Elmer — atomic absorption spectrophotometer, model 5000", to be used for research in the determination of heavy metals in the water, 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 5 March 1981 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter ;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a spectrophotometer; whereas its objec tive technical characteristics, such as the very high precision of the spectrum and the rapidity of the determination, and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific recearch ; 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 "Perkin Elmer — atomic absorption spectrophotometer, model 5000", which is the subject of an application by the Italian Government of 25 October 1981, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

4. The Commission may, at the request of the Member State, shorten the period laid down in paragraph 1, or if that State so agrees, extend it. The period shall be reduced to fifteen days if the Member State declares that the measure it proposes to take is of an urgent nature. The Commission shall inform the Member States of any such reduction or extension of the period. (1)OJ No 23, 3.4.1962, p. 720/62.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds(1), and in particular Article 15(5) thereof,
After consultation of the Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions and the Committee pursuant to Article 147 of the Treaty,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 et seq. of Title II of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 lay down the procedure for preparing and implementing single programming documents.
(2) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with Article 15(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 which provides that, after consultation with the partners referred to in Article 8 of the Regulation, the Member State may submit to the Commission a development plan which is treated as a draft single programming document, and which contains the information referred to in Article 16 of the Regulation.
(3) Under Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Commission, on the basis of the regional development plan submitted by the Member State and within the partnership established in accordance with Article 8 of the Regulation, is to take a decision on the single programming document, in agreement with the Member State concerned and in accordance with the procedures laid down in Articles 48 to 51.
(4) The Swedish Government submitted to the Commission on 25 April 2000 an acceptable draft single programming document for the Norra Region, covering certain parts of Västmanland, Dalarna and Gävleborg Counties, fulfilling the conditions for Objective 2 pursuant to Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. The draft contains the information listed in Article 16 of the Regulation, and in particular a description of the priorities selected and an indication of the financial contribution from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the European Social Fund (ESF).
(5) Under Article 52(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, as an acceptable plan was submitted between 1 January and 30 April 2000, the date from which expenditure under the plan is eligible is 1 January 2000. Under Article 30 of the Regulation, it is necessary to lay down the final date for the eligibility of expenditure.
(6) The single programming document has been drawn up in agreement with the Member State concerned and within the partnership.
(7) The Commission has satisfied itself that the single programming document is in accordance with the principle of additionality.
(8) Under Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Commission and the Member State are required to ensure, in a manner consistent with the principle of partnership, coordination between assistance from the Funds and from the European Investment Bank (EIB) and other existing financial instruments.
(9) The financial contribution from the Community available over the entire period and its year-by-year breakdown are expressed in euro. The annual breakdown must be consistent with the relevant financial perspective. Under Article 7(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Community contribution has already been indexed at a rate of 2 % per year. Under Articles 7(7) and 44(2) of the Regulation, the Community contribution may be reviewed at mid-term, and not later than 31 December 2004, to take account of the effective level of inflation and the allocation of the performance reserve.
(10) Provision must be made for adapting the financial allocations of the priorities of this single programming document within certain limits to actual requirements reflected by the pattern of implementation on the ground, in agreement with the Member State concerned,
The single programming document for Community structural assistance in the Norra Region, covering certain parts of Västmanland, Dalarna and Gävleborg Counties, under Objective 2 in Sweden for the period 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2006 is hereby approved.
1. In accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the single programming document includes the following elements:
(a) the strategy and priorities for the joint action of the Community Structural Funds and the Member State, their specific quantified targets, the ex ante evaluation of the expected impact, including on the environmental situation, and the consistency of the priorities with the economic, social and regional policies and the employment strategy of Sweden.
The priorities are as follows:
1. Business development
2. Knowledge-driven development
3. Technical assistance;
(b) a summary description of the measures planned to implement the priorities, including the information needed to check compliance with the State aid rules under Article 87 of the Treaty;
(c) the indicative financing plan specifying for each priority and each year the financial allocation envisaged for the contribution from each fund and the total amounts of eligible public or equivalent expenditure and estimated private funding in the Member State. The total contribution from the funds planned for each year for the single programming document is consistent with the relevant financial perspective;
(d) the provisions for implementing the single programming document including designation of the managing authority, a description of the arrangements for managing the single programming document and the use to be made of global grants, a description of the systems for monitoring and evaluation, including the role of the Monitoring Committee and the arrangements for the participation of the partners in that Committee;
(e) ex ante verification and information on the transparency of financial flows;
(f) information on the resources required for preparing, monitoring and evaluating the single programming document.
2. The indicative financing plan puts the total cost of the priorities selected for the joint action by the Community and the Member State at EUR 456670708 for the whole period and the financial contribution from the Structural Funds at EUR 185000000.
The resulting requirement for national resources of EUR 271670708 from the public sector and EUR 172235292 from the private sector can be partly met by Community loans from the EIB and other lending instruments.
1. The total assistance from the Structural Funds granted under the single programming document amounts to EUR 185000000. The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds for the various priorities included in the single programming document, is set out in the financing plan annexed to this Decision.
2.
>TABLE>
3. During implementation of the financing plan, the total cost or Community financing of a given priority can be adjusted in agreement with the Member State by up to 25 % of the total Community contribution to the single programming document throughout the programme period or by up to EUR 30000000, whichever is the greater, without altering the total Community contribution referred to in paragraph 1.
This Decision is without prejudice to the Commission's position on aid schemes falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty that are included in this assistance and which have not yet been approved by the Commission. Submission of the application for assistance, the programming complement or a request for payment by the Member State does not replace the notification required by Article 88(3) of the Treaty.
Community financing of State aid falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, requires prior approval by the Commission under Article 88 of the Treaty, except where the aid falls within the de minimis rule or is exempted under an exemption regulation adopted by the Commission under Council Regulation (EC) No 994/98 of 7 May 1998 on the application of Articles 87 and 88 of the Treaty establishing the European Community to certain categories of horizontal State aid(2) In the absence of such exemption or approval, aid is illegal and subject to the consequences set out in the procedural regulation for state aid, and its part-financing would be treated as an irregularity within the meaning of Article 38(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.
Consequently, the Commission will not accept requests for interim and final payments under Article 32 of the Regulation for measures being part-financed with new or altered aid, as defined in the procedural regulation for State aid, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, until such aid has been notified to and formally approved by the Commission.
The date from which expenditure shall be eligible is 1 January 2000. The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure shall be 31 December 2008. This date is extended to 30 April 2009 for expenditure incurred by bodies granting assistance under Article 9(l) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.

THE 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 COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 577/98 of 9 March 1998 on the organisation of a labour force sample survey in the Community (1), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 530/1999 of 9 March 1999 concerning structural statistics on earnings and on labour costs (2), and in particular Article 11 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 577/98 has been implemented by Commission Regulation (EC) No 377/2008 of 25 April 2008 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 577/98 on the organisation of a labour force sample survey in the Community as regards the codification to be used for data transmission from 2009 onwards, the use of a sub-sample for the collection of data on structural variables and the definition of the reference quarters (3). Regulation (EC) No 530/1999 has been implemented by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1738/2005 of 21 October 2005 amending Regulation (EC) No 1916/2000 as regards the definition and transmission of information on the structure of earnings (4) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 698/2006 of 5 May 2006 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 530/1999 as regards quality evaluation of structural statistics on labour costs and earnings (5).
(2) The Annexes to those implementing Regulations refer to the International Standard Classification of Occupations, ‘ISCO-88’ or the European version of this classification hereinafter referred to as ‘ISCO-88 (COM)’.
(3) The International Labour Organisation (ILO) has revised the version of the International Standard Classification of Occupations used hitherto (ISCO-88) with the objective of making available a more effective classification, which can be used by countries in the next round of population censuses, as well as in national employment services and other client-oriented applications. In order to ensure comparability between data on occupations from the EU Member States and the rest of the world it is necessary to use this revised classification (ISCO-08) in the main European Statistical System surveys collecting data on occupations before the next round of population census that will take place in 2011.
(4) The establishment of a revised Standard Classification of Occupations makes it necessary to modify in particular the references to ISCO-88 and to the European version of this classification ISCO-88 (COM). Therefore, Regulations (EC) No 1738/2005, (EC) No 698/2006 and (EC) No 377/2008 should be amended accordingly.
(5) It is considered advisable that, as much as possible, the first reference year for the data transmission of ISCO-08 data is the same in all statistical domains concerned, in line with the next round of Census, which will have 2011 as reference year. The recommendation is therefore to use 2011 as first year of reference for the transmission of data on occupations according to ISCO-08 with the exception of the Structure of Earnings Survey, conducted every four years, which would apply it in 2010.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the European Statistical System Committee,
In Regulation (EC) No 1738/2005 the term ‘ISCO-88 (COM)’ is replaced by ‘ISCO-08’ throughout the text of Annexes I, II and III.
In Regulation (EC) No 698/2006 the term ‘ISCO-88’ is replaced by ‘ISCO-08’ throughout the text of the Annex.
In Regulation (EC) No 377/2008 the term ‘ISCO-88 (COM)’ is replaced by ‘ISCO-08’ throughout the text of the Annex.
Entry into force
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Articles 1 and 2 shall apply from 1 January 2010. Article 3 shall apply from 1 January 2011.

| COMMISSION DECISION of 16 January 1996 terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into certain regions of Germany of Portland cement originating in Poland, the Czech and Slovak Republics (96/72/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3283/94 of 22 December 1994 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1251/95 (2), and in particular Article 23 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped and subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 522/94 (4), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) In July 1993, the Commission received a complaint lodged by the Bundesverband der Deutschen Zement Industrie on behalf of German producers of Portland cement representing almost the totality of Portland cement production in the following regions of Germany: Berlin, Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Sachsen, Sachsen-Anhalt, Thüringen, Bayern and Baden-Württemberg, (hereafter referred to as the 'regional market`).
The complaint contained evidence of dumping with regard to imports into the regional market of Portland cement originating in Poland and the Czech and Slovak Republics and of material injury resulting therefrom, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a proceeding.
(2) The Commission, after consultation, accordingly announced by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding (5) concerning imports of Portland cement originating in Poland and the Czech and Slovak Republics into the regional market and commenced an investigation. Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 applies in this proceeding opened before 1 September 1994.
(3) The Commission officially advised the exporters and importers known to be concerned as well as the representatives of the exporting countries and the complainant of the initiation of the proceeding and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make their views known in writing or to request a hearing
(4) Several parties, including the Polish authorities made their views known in writing and requested a hearing; all such requests were granted.
(5) The Commission sought and verified all information deemed to be necessary for the purpose of a preliminary determination and carried out investigations at the premises of 11 Community producers representing 91 % of the total production in the regional market; 11 Polish producers, eight Czech producers and six Slovak producers, which represented, taken together, the totality of exports to the regional market, and three of the nine importers in the regional market which responded to the notice of initiation within the time limits laid down and replied to the Commission's questionnaires.
(6) The period used for the investigation of dumping was 1 April 1993 to 31 March 1994. In view of the important number of parties involved in the proceeding, the investigation exceeded the normal period of one year.
B. REGIONAL MARKET
(7) The Commission established that the Community producers in the regional market sold 96 % of their total production of the product in question in that market. Furthermore, only 5 % of the total demand in the regional market was supplied by producers located elsewhere in the Community. The Commission also established that 99 % of the imports into the Community from the countries concerned were concentrated in the same market. Therefore, the complaining and cooperating producers in the regional market which represented 91 % of the total output could be considered as constituting a Community industry pursuant to Article 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88.
C. PRODUCT UNDER CONSIDERATION
(8) The product concerned is Portland cement, other than white cement, whether or not artificially coloured. The product can be sold loose or in bags and is used in the building industry. It is produced in different types which range from PZ 25 to PZ 55. However the most common types are PZ 35 and PZ 45, which have been the object of the proceeding. The product falls under CN code 2523 29 00.
D. WITHDRAWAL OF THE COMPLAINT AND TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING
(9) In the course of the investigation, the Bundesverband der Deutschen Zement Industrie informed the Commission, by letter of 16 October 1995, that it formally withdrew its complaint.
(10) The decision of the complainant, which had received beforehand all necessary information from the Commission on the circumstances of the anti-dumping proceeding, is a sufficient ground to terminate the proceeding unless it is established that such termination would be contrary to the interest of the Community.
The Commission has neither received nor is it aware of any indications in the present case that the termination of this proceeding would be against the interest of the Community.
(11) In these circumstances, it is considered that protective measures are unnecessary and, that accordingly, the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of Portland cement originating in Poland, the Czech and Slovak Republics should be terminated with the imposition of such measures,
The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into certain regions of Germany of Portland cement originating in Poland, the Czech and Slovak Republics is hereby terminated. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 laying down Community procedures for the establishment of residue limits of pharmacologically active substances in foodstuffs of animal origin, repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 and amending Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1), and in particular Article 14 in conjunction with Article 17 thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Medicines Agency formulated by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use,
Whereas:
(1) The maximum residue limit (MRL) for pharmacologically active substances intended for use in the Union in veterinary medicinal products for food-producing animals or in biocidal products used in animal husbandry is to be established in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 470/2009.
(2) Pharmacologically active substances and their classification regarding MRLs in foodstuffs of animal origin are set out in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 (2).
(3) Methylprednisolone is currently included in Table 1 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 as an allowed substance, for bovine species, applicable to muscle, fat, liver, kidney and milk.
(4) An application for the extension of the existing entry for methylprednisolone to equidae has been submitted to the European Medicines Agency.
(5) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 the European Medicines Agency is to consider using MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in a particular foodstuff for another foodstuff derived from the same species, or MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in one or more species for other species.
(6) The Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use recommended the establishment of a MRL for methylprednisolone for equidae, and the extrapolation of the MRL for methylprednisolone from bovine milk to horse milk.
(7) The entry for methylprednisolone in Table 1 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 should therefore be amended to include the MRL for equidae, applicable to muscle, fat, liver, kidney and milk.
(8) It is appropriate to provide for a reasonable period of time for the stakeholders concerned to take measures that may be required to comply with the newly set MRL.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,
The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 April 2015.

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 29 October 2004.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 of 20 December 1992 establishing a Community system for fisheries and aquaculture(1), and in particular Article 8(4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 2742/1999(2) fixes, for 2000, the fishing opportunities and associated conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 65/98(3) gave the Commission a mandate to undertake a revision of catch statistics in the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tuna (ICCAT) and to modify Community quotas for 1998 accordingly.
(3) At its annual meeting of November 1998, ICCAT adopted a revision of the catch statistics for 1993 and 1994, which constitute the reference for the 1998 catch limitations.
(4) At its annual meeting of November 1999, ICCAT adopted the principle that the Community had under-fished its catch limitation for 1998 by 2581 tonnes, on the basis of the revised data.
(5) In this exceptional situation, and given the fact that this Community surplus results from the under-exploitation by some Member States of the 1998 fishing opportunities established by ICCAT, it is necessary for the surplus of 2581 tonnes to be allocated on the basis of the respective contribution of each Member State to the generation of the 1998 Community surplus, without this amounting to a change in the allocation formula laid down by Article 2(1) of Regulation (EC) No 49/1999(4) for the annual TAC allocation.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 2742/1999 should be amended accordingly,
The entry concerning blue fin tuna appearing in the Annex to this Regulation shall replace the corresponding entry in Annex I F to Regulation (EC) No 2742/1999.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2008/116/EC
of 15 December 2008
amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC to include aclonifen, imidacloprid and metazachlor as active substances
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 (2) and (EC) No 1490/2002 (3) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the third stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and establish a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list includes aclonifen, imidacloprid and metazachlor.
(2) For those active substances the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 and (EC) No 1490/2002 for a range of uses proposed by the notifiers. Moreover, those Regulations designate the rapporteur Member States which have to submit the relevant assessment reports and recommendations to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002. For aclonifen and imidacloprid the rapporteur Member State was Germany and all relevant information was submitted on 11 September 2006 and on 13 June 2006 respectively. For metazachlor the rapporteur Member State was United Kingdom and all relevant information was submitted on 30 September 2005.
(3) The assessment reports have been peer reviewed by the Member States and the EFSA and presented to the Commission on 31 July 2008 for aclonifen, on 29 May 2008 for imidacloprid and on 14 April 2008 for metazachlor in the format of the EFSA Scientific Reports (4). These reports have been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 26 September 2008 in the format of the Commission review reports for aclonifen, imidacloprid and metazachlor.
(4) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing aclonifen, imidacloprid and metazachlor may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review reports. It is therefore appropriate to include these active substances in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing these active substances can be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.
(5) Without prejudice to that conclusion, it is appropriate to obtain further information on certain specific points. Article 6(1) of Directive 91/414/EC provides that inclusion of a substance in Annex I may be subject to conditions. Therefore, it is appropriate to require that aclonifen should be subjected to further testing for evaluation of residues in rotational crops and for the confirmation of the risk assessment for birds, mammals, aquatic organisms and non-target plants and that imidacloprid should be subjected to further testing for confirmation of the risk assessment for operators and workers and the risk to birds and mammals and such studies should be presented by the notifier. Furthermore for metazachlor it is appropriate to obtain additional information on certain specific points. Article 5(5) of Directive 91/414/EEC provides that an inclusion may be reviewed at any time if there are indications that the criteria referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 are no longer satisfied. The notifier has submitted information which at this stage is considered to be sufficient to address the relevance of certain metabolites. However, a decision on the classification of metazachlor under Council Directive 67/548/EEC of 27 June 1967 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances (5) is not yet finalised. Such decision might lead to the need for further information on these metabolites. The information submitted by the notifier to address the relevance of the metabolites 479M04, 479M08, 479M09, 479M11 and 479M12 with respect to cancer is, at this stage, considered as sufficient. However, if a decision is adopted under Directive 67/548/EEC by which metazachlor is classified as ‘limited evidence of a cancerogenic effect’, further information will be needed on the relevance of those metabolites with respect to cancer. Article 6(1) of Directive 91/414/EEC provides that the inclusion of a substance in Annex I to that Directive may be subject to conditions. The inclusion of metazachlor should therefore be subject to a condition concerning the submission of further information in case that substance is classified under Directive 67/548/EEC.
(6) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the inclusion.
(7) Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Directive 91/414/EEC as a consequence of including an active substance in Annex I, Member States should be allowed a period of six months after inclusion to review existing authorisations of plant protection products containing aclonifen, imidacloprid and metazachlor to ensure that the requirements laid down by Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular in its Article 13 and the relevant conditions set out in Annex I, are satisfied. Member States should vary, replace or withdraw, as appropriate, existing authorisations, in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. By way of derogation from the above deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC.
(8) The experience gained from previous inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 (6) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I.
(9) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(10) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
Member States shall adopt and publish by 31 January 2010 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 February 2010.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
1. Member States shall in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing aclonifen, imidacloprid and metazachlor as active substances by 31 January 2010.
By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to that Directive relating to aclonifen, imidacloprid and metazachlor are met, with the exception of those identified in part B of the entry concerning that active substance, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive in accordance with the conditions of Article 13 of that Directive.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing aclonifen, imidacloprid and metazachlor as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by 31 July 2009 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to that Directive and taking into account part B of the entry in Annex I to that Directive concerning aclonifen, imidacloprid and metazachlor respectively. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 4(1)(b), (c), (d) and (e) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
Following that determination Member States shall:
(a) in the case of a product containing aclonifen, imidacloprid and metazachlor as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 January 2014 at the latest; or
(b) in the case of a product containing aclonifen, imidacloprid and metazachlor as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 January 2014 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective Directive or Directives which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, whichever is the latest.
This Directive shall enter into force on 1 August 2009.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 54 (2) and (3) thereof;
Having regard to the General Programme for the abolition of restrictions on freedom of establishment 1, and in particular Title IV F 5 thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament 2;
Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee 3;
Whereas the General Programme for the abolition of restrictions on freedom of establishment includes a special time-table for the attainment of such freedom in agriculture, which takes into account the particular nature of agricultural activities ; whereas the fifth series of measures provided for in that time-table entails that, at the beginning of the third stage, each Member State will ensure that farmers who are nationals of other Member States have access to the various forms of aid on the same terms as its own nationals;
Whereas the provisions of the General Programme cover all kinds of aid, in whatever form given, granted to a farmer established in the host country for himself, the assets which he exploits, the means he uses or the goods he produces ; whereas, however, benefits under social security and social insurance schemes, which, in accordance with the time-table laid down in the General Programme, will be governed by rules adopted at the end of the transitional period, should be excluded from the scope of this Directive;
Whereas beneficiaries under the Council Directive of 2 April 1963 laying down detailed provisions for the attainment of freedom of establishment in agriculture in the territory of a Member State in respect of nationals of other countries of the Community who have been employed as paid agricultural workers in that Member State for a continuous period of two years 4 and beneficiaries under the Council Directive of 2 April 1963 laying down detailed provisions for the attainment of freedom of establishment on agricultural holdings abandoned or left uncultivated for more than two years 5 already enjoy the same treatment as nationals of the Member State concerned with regard to access to the various forms of aid;
Whereas the right of beneficiaries to obtain repayable loans, including any loans at subsidised rates of interest, is already recognised under the Council Directive of 5 April 1968 concerning freedom of access to the various forms of credit for farmers who are nationals of one Member State and established in another Member State 6;
Member States, acting in accordance with the following provisions, shall abolish in respect of nationals and companies or firms of other Member States pursuing activities as self-employed persons in agriculture of establishing themselves for that purpose (hereinafter called "beneficiaries") all restrictions on access to the various forms of aid. 1OJ No 2, 15.1.1962, p. 36/62. 2OJ No C 55, 5.6.1968, p. 16. 3OJ No 158, 18.7.1967, p. 7. 4OJ No 62, 20.4.1963, p. 1323/63. 5OJ No 62, 20.4.1963, p. 1326/63. 6OJ No L 93, 17.4.1968, p. 13.
1. For the purposes of this Directive, "access to the various forms of aid" means the right of beneficiaries to obtain aids, whether financial or in kind, and in whatever form, on the same terms as those applicable to nationals of the State in which they are established and in particular subsidies, security for loans, subsidised rates of interest and tax exemptions, but excluding benefits under social security and social insurance schemes.
2. For the purposes of this Directive, "agricultural activities" means: - activities falling within Annex V to the General Programme for the abolition of restrictions on freedom of establishment (ex Major Group 01, Agriculture, of the International Standard Industrial Classification of all Economic Activities) 1, and in particular: (a) general agriculture including the growing of field crops and viticulture ; growing of fruits, nuts, seeds, vegetables, flowers, both in the open and under glass;
(b) raising of livestock, poultry, rabbits, furbearing or other animals, bees ; and the production of meat, milk, wool, skins and fur, eggs, honey;
- felling of timber, commercial exploitation of woodlands, and planting and re-planting of trees, where such operations are practised as ancillary activities and are compatible with a Member State's internal legislation and in particular with land utilisation plans.
Member States shall abolish the following restrictions: - those which in pursuance of provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action deny beneficiaries access to the various forms of aid or make such access subject to special conditions;
- those existing by reason of administrative practices which result in treatment being applied to beneficiaries as regards access to the various forms of aid that is discriminatory by comparison with that applied to nationals.
Member States shall, moreover, be responsible for seeing that discrimination against beneficiaries is avoided irrespective of the nature of the agency issuing the aids referred to in this Directive.
No Member State shall grant to its nationals, with a view to or on the occasion of their establishment in another Member State, any direct or indirect aid including in particular any aid in the form of a loan, which would result in distortion of the conditions of establishment in the host country.
Member States shall take the measures necessary to comply with this Directive within six months of its notification and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.

of 12 December 2008
concerning the non-inclusion of bone oil in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing that substance
(notified under document number C(2008) 8083)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2008/943/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 8(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC provides that a Member State may, during a period of 12 years following the notification of that Directive, authorise the placing on the market of plant protection products containing active substances not listed in Annex I to that Directive that are already on the market two years after the date of notification, while those substances are gradually being examined within the framework of a programme of work.
(2) Commission Regulations (EC) No 1112/2002 (2) and (EC) No 2229/2004 (3) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the fourth stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and establish a list of active substances to be assessed with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list includes bone oil.
(3) For bone oil acid the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulations (EC) No 1112/2002 and (EC) No 2229/2004 for a range of uses proposed by the notifier. Moreover, those Regulations designate the rapporteur Member States which have to submit the relevant assessment reports and recommendations to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in accordance with Article 20 of Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004. For bone oil the rapporteur Member State was Belgium and all relevant information was submitted in October 2006.
(4) The Commission examined bone oil in accordance with Article 24a of Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004. A draft review report for that substance was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 26 September 2008 in the format of the Commission review report.
(5) During the examination of this active substance by the Committee, taking into account comments received from Member States, it was concluded that there are clear indications that it may be expected that it has harmful effects on human health and in particular the crucial missing data does not allow to set reliable acceptable daily intake (ADI) and acute reference dose (ARfD) and such values are necessary to conduct the risk assessment. In addition, the operator exposure is greater than 100 % of the acceptable operator exposure level (AOEL) in all modelled scenarios. Moreover, other concerns which were identified by the rapporteur Member State in its assessment report are included in the review report for the substance.
(6) The Commission invited the notifier to submit its comments on the results of the examination of bone oil and on its intention or not to further support the substance. The notifier submitted its comments which have been carefully examined. However, despite the arguments put forward by the notifier, the concerns identified could not be eliminated, and assessments made on the basis of the information submitted have not demonstrated that it may be expected that, under the proposed conditions of use, plant protection products containing bone oil satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
(7) Bone oil should therefore not be included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(8) Measures should be taken to ensure that authorisations granted for plant protection products containing bone oil are withdrawn within a fixed period of time and are not renewed and that no new authorisations for such products are granted.
(9) Any period of grace granted by a Member State for the disposal, storage, placing on the market and use of existing stocks of plant protection products containing bone oil should be limited to 12 months in order to allow existing stocks to be used in one further growing season, which ensures that plant protection products containing bone oil remain available for 18 months from the adoption of this Decision.
(10) This Decision does not prejudice the submission of an application for bone oil in accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 of 17 January 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included into its Annex I (4), in view of a possible inclusion in its Annex I.
(11) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Bone oil shall not be included as an active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
Member States shall ensure that:
(a) authorisations for plant protection products containing bone oil are withdrawn by 12 June 2009;
(b) no authorisations for plant protection products containing bone oil are granted or renewed from the date of publication of this Decision.
Any period of grace granted by Member States in accordance with the provisions of Article 4(6) of Directive 91/414/EEC, shall be as short as possible and shall expire on 12 June 2010 at the latest.

32002D0362 | 2002/362/EC: Council Decision of 3 May 2002 on the granting of a national aid by the authorities of the Italian Republic in favour of road transport undertakings
| Council Decision
of 3 May 2002
on the granting of a national aid by the authorities of the Italian Republic in favour of road transport undertakings
(2002/362/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 88(2), third subparagraph, thereof,
Having regard to the request made by the Government of the Italian Republic on 4 February 2002,
Whereas:
(1) Article 8(4) of Council Directive 92/81/EEC of 19 October 1992 on the harmonisation of the structures of excise duties on mineral oils(1) allows the Council to authorise Member States to introduce exemptions or reductions in the excise duty charged on mineral oils for specific policy purposes.
(2) Under Article 1 of Council Decision 2000/446/EC(2) and Article 2 of Council Decision 2001/224/EC of 12 March 2001 concerning reduced rates of excise duty and exemptions from such duty on certain mineral oils when used for specific purposes(3), until 31 December 2002, by way of derogation from the provisions of Council Directive 92/82/EEC(4), Italy is authorised to continue to apply reduced rates of excise duty on diesel used as fuel by road transport operators, provided that the rates respect the obligations laid down in Directive 92/82/EEC and in particular the minimum rates laid down in Article 5 thereof.
(3) Italy has provided in its national legislation, since 16 January 1999, for a reduction in the rate of excise duty on diesel used as fuel by road transport operators.
(4) By means of a letter dated 18 April 2001 (published in OJ C 160, 2.6.2001), the Commission notified Italy its decision to initiate the procedure laid down in Article 88(2) of the Treaty concerning the abovementioned measures.
(5) Environmental and energy conservation purposes prompted the Italian authorities to raise the rate of excise duty on the most polluting fuels to discourage their use. The increased taxation as well as the high rise of costs due to the rise of the international price of crude oil had severe negative repercussions on the activities in the road transport sector. The introduction of compensatory measures to avert serious economic and social difficulties for the road sector, which suffers from market fragmentation and from Italy's morphology, was necessary awaiting measures at infrastructural level. No other remedy was adequate.
(6) The measure is not discriminatory. The fact that some firms or sectors benefit from certain tax measures does not in itself mean that they are in form or substance contrary to the common interest.
(7) The measure is temporary and will expire on 31 December 2002. With effect from 1 July 2001, the refundable amount has been substantially reduced.
(8) Exceptional circumstances therefore exist, making it possible to consider such aid, by way of derogation and to the extent strictly necessary to remedy the economic and social difficulties of the road transport sector concerned which has arisen, to be compatible with the common market,
The measures adopted by Italy in accordance with Article 1 of Decision 2000/446/EC and Article 2 of Decision 2001/224/EC shall be considered to be compatible with the common market.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Italy. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 517/94 of 7 March 1994 on common rules for imports of textile products from certain third countries not covered by bilateral agreements, protocols or other arrangements, or by other specific Community import rules (1), and in particular Article 17(3) and (6) and Article 21(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 517/94 established quantitative restrictions on imports of certain textile products originating in certain third countries to be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
(2) Under that Regulation it is possible, in certain circumstances, to use other allocation methods, to divide quotas into tranches, or to reserve a proportion of a specific quantitative limit exclusively for applications which are supported by evidence of the results of past import performance.
(3) Rules for management of the quotas established for 2013 should be adopted before the quota year begins so that the continuity of trade flows is not affected unduly.
(4) The measures adopted in previous years, such as those in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1323/2011 of 16 December 2011 laying down rules for the management and distribution of textile quotas established for the year 2012 under Council Regulation (EC) No 517/94 (2), proved to be satisfactory and it is therefore appropriate to adopt similar rules for 2013.
(5) In order to satisfy the greatest possible number of operators it is appropriate to make the ‘first come, first served’ allocation method more flexible by placing a ceiling on the quantities which can be allocated to each operator by that method.
(6) To guarantee a degree of continuity in trade and efficient quota administration, operators should be allowed to make their initial import authorisation application for 2013 equivalent to the quantity which they imported in 2012.
(7) To achieve optimum use of the quantities, an operator who has used up at least one half of the amount already authorised should be permitted to apply for a further amount, provided that quantities are available in the quotas.
(8) To secure a sound administration, import authorisations should be valid for nine months from the date of issue but only until the end of the year at the latest. Member States should issue licences only after being notified by the Commission that quantities are available and only if an operator can prove the existence of a contract and can certify, in the absence of a specific provision to the contrary, that he has not already been allocated a Union import authorisation under this Regulation for the categories and countries concerned. The competent national authorities should, however, be authorised, in response to importers’ applications, to extend by three months and up to 31 March 2014 licences of which at least one half has been used by the application date.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textile Committee established by Article 25 of Regulation (EC) No 517/94,
The purpose of this Regulation is to lay down rules on the management of quantitative quotas for imports of certain textile products set out in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 517/94 for the year 2013.
The quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be allocated according to the chronological order of receipt by the Commission of Member States’ notifications of applications from individual operators, for amounts not exceeding the maximum quantities per operator set out in Annex I.
The maximum quantities shall not, however, apply to operators able to prove to the competent national authorities, when making their first application for 2013, that, in respect of given categories and given third countries, they imported more than the maximum quantities specified for each category pursuant to import licences granted to them for 2012.
In the case of such operators, the competent authorities may authorise imports not exceeding the quantities imported in 2012 from given third countries and in given categories, provided that enough quota capacity is available.
Any importer who has already used up 50 percent or more of the amount allocated to him under this Regulation may make a further application, in respect of the same category and country of origin, for amounts not exceeding the maximum quantities laid down in Annex I.
1. The competent national authorities listed in Annex II may, from 10.00 o’clock a.m. on 8 January 2013, notify the Commission of the amounts covered by requests for import authorisations.
The time fixed in the first subparagraph shall be understood as Brussels time.
2. The competent national authorities shall issue authorisations only after being notified by the Commission pursuant to Article 17(2) of Regulation (EC) No 517/94 that quantities are available for importation.
They shall issue authorisations only if an operator:
(a) proves the existence of a contract relating to the provision of the goods; and
(b) certifies in writing that, in respect of the categories and countries concerned:
(i) the operator has not already been allocated an authorisation under this Regulation; or
(ii) the operator has been allocated an authorisation under this Regulation but has used up at least 50 percent of it.
3. Import authorisations shall be valid for nine months from the date of issue, but until 31 December 2013 at the latest.
The competent national authorities may, however, at the importer’s request, grant a three-month extension for authorisations which are at least 50 percent used up at the time of the request. Such extension shall in no circumstances expire later than 31 March 2014.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 2013.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2010/2/EU
of 27 January 2010
amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards an extension of the use of the active substance chlormequat
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular the second indent of the second subparagraph of Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Commission Directive 2009/37/EC (2) chlormequat was included as active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/CEE.
(2) When applying for the inclusion of chlormequat its notifier the CCC Task Force submitted data on uses as plant growth regulator which supported the overall conclusion that it may be expected that plant protection products containing chlormequat will fulfil the safety requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC. However, chlormequat was included in Annex I to that Directive with the specific provision that Member States may only authorise uses on cereals.
(3) In addition to that use, Belgium and Sweden now have applied for an amendment to this specific provision to allow chlormequat to be used on ornamentals and grass for seed, respectively. These Member States informed the Commission on 29 October 2009 and 4 November 2009 about their conclusions that the requested extensions of use do not cause any risks in addition to those already taken into account in the specific provisions for chlormequat in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC and in the Commission review report for that substance. In particular, the extensions concern applications on non-edible crops and, as a consequence, no residues in food will occur. Furthermore, the other application parameters, as set out in the specific provisions of Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, remain unchanged.
(4) Therefore it is justified to modify the specific provisions for chlormequat.
(5) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
Member States shall adopt and publish by 28 May 2010 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions from 29 May 2010.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council on substances that deplete the ozone layer (1), and in particular to Article 7 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The quantitative limits for the placing on the market in the Community of controlled substances are set out in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 and Annex III thereto.
(2) Article 4(2)(i)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 prohibits each producer and importer placing any methyl bromide on the market or using any for their own account after 31 December 2004. Article 4(4)(i)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 allows a derogation from this prohibition if methyl bromide is used to meet the licensed requests for critical uses of those users identified as described in Article 3(2)(ii) of that Regulation. The quantity of methyl bromide licensed for critical uses for the period 1 January to 31 December 2008 will be published in a separate Commission Decision.
(3) Article 4(2)(iii) of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 allows a derogation from Article 4(2)(i)(d) if methyl bromide is imported or produced for quarantine and pre-shipment (QPS) applications. The amount of methyl bromide that can be imported or produced for these purposes in 2008 must not exceed the average of the calculated level of methyl bromide which a producer or importer placed on the market or used for its own account for QPS in the years 1996, 1997 and 1998.
(4) Article 4(4)(i) of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 allows a derogation from Article 4(2) if methyl bromide is imported for destruction or if it is imported for feedstock use.
(5) Article 4(3)(i)(e) of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 sets out the total calculated level of hydrochlorofluorocarbons which producers and importers may place on the market or use for their own account in the period 1 January to 31 December 2008.
(6) The Commission has published a notice to importers in the Community of controlled substances that deplete the ozone layer (2) and has thereby received declarations on intended imports in 2008.
(7) For hydrochlorofluorocarbons the allocation of quotas to producers and importers is in accordance with the provisions of Commission Decision 2007/195/EC of 27 March 2007 (3) determining a mechanism for the allocation of quotas to producers and importers for hydrochlorofluorocarbons for the years 2003 to 2009 under Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000.
(8) For the purpose of ensuring that operators and companies benefit from allocated import quotas in due time and thereby ensure the necessary continuity of their operations, it is appropriate that this Decision should apply from 1 January 2008.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 1999/105/EC of 22 December 1999 on the marketing of forest reproductive material(1), and in particular Article 16(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 16(1) of Directive 1999/105/EC, Member States are required to ensure, by an official control system, that forest reproductive material from individual units of approval or lots remains clearly identifiable through the entire process from collection to delivery to the end user.
(2) In order to ensure the proper functioning of the control system, official bodies need to obtain appropriate information on the marketing of reproductive material by registered suppliers and the suppliers' documents issued by them. Under Article 16(3) of Directive 1999/105/EC suppliers are to provide official bodies with records containing such appropriate information.
(3) If during the process from collection to delivery to the end user forest reproductive material moves from one Member State to another, the appropriate information on the marketing prior to the entry into the control system of the receiving Member State can be obtained by the official body of the receiving Member State only through the official body of the Member State of the supplier. To ensure that such information is communicated in a timely and efficient manner, it is appropriate to establish a standardised procedure for its exchange.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
1. Where forest reproductive material moves from one Member State to another, the official body of the Member State in which the supplier is based shall provide information to the official body of the Member State in which the recipient is based. The information shall be provided by means of an Information Document in a standardised format as set out in the Annex. The information shall be transmitted (by post, facsimile, e-mail or other electronic means) not later than three months after the date of dispatch of the forest reproductive material by the supplier.
2. In the case where the official body of a Member State in which the recipient is based requires information in addition to that on the Information Document referred to in paragraph 1, the official body of the Member State in which the supplier is based shall assist in every way possible to obtain and supply that information.
If, in the framework of official inspection activities, the official body of a Member State needs information, samples or other evidence which can only be obtained in another Member State, the official body of that other Member State shall upon specific request assist in every way possible to obtain and supply such information, samples or other evidence.
Whenever questions as regards the authenticity of the forest reproductive material arise, the relevant official bodies shall cooperate to resolve the problem as quickly as possible.
If an official body of the Member State in which the supplier is based discovers that incorrect information has been provided by a supplier, that official body shall immediately notify the official body of the Member State(s) to which that information was supplied.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply to material dispatched after 31 December 2002.

of 26 June 2000
establishing administrative procedures for the 2001 quantitative quotas for certain products originating in the People's Republic of China
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 520/94 of 7 March 1994 establishing a Community procedure for administering quantitative quotas(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 138/96(2), and in particular Article 2(3) and (4) and Articles 13 and 24 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 519/94 of 7 March 1994 on common rules for imports from certain third countries and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 1765/82, (EEC) No 1766/82 and (EEC) No 3420/83(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1138/98(4), introduced annual quantitative quotas for certain products originating in the People's Republic of China listed in Annex II to that Regulation. The provisions of Regulation (EC) No 520/94 are applicable to those quotas.
(2) The Commission accordingly adopted Regulation (EC) No 738/94(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 983/96(6), laying down general rules for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 520/94. These provisions apply to the administration of the above quotas subject to the provisions of this Regulation.
(3) Certain characteristics of China's economy, the seasonal nature of some of the products and the time needed for transport mean that orders for products subject to quota are generally placed before the beginning of the quota yeare. It is therefore important to ensure that administrative constraints do not impede the realisation of the planned imports. In order not to affect the continuity of trade flows, the arrangements for allocating and administering the 2001 quota should accordingly be adopted before the start of the quota year.
(4) After examination of the different administrative methods provided for by Regulation (EC) No 520/94, the method based on traditional trade flows should be adopted. Under this method the quotas are divided into two portions, one of which is reserved for traditional importers and the other for other applicants.
(5) This has proved to be the best way of ensuring the continuity of business for the Community importers concerned and avoiding any disturbance of trade flows.
(6) The reference period used for allocating the portion of the quota set aside for traditional importers in earlier Regulations on the administration of these quotas should be updated to ensure open access to the quotas. In order to allow a greater flexibility to the benefit of traditional importers it is considered appropriate to allow them to set their reference period as either 1998 or 1999, which are the most recent years representative of the normal trend of trade flows in the products in question. Traditional importers must therefore prove that they have imported products originating in China and covered by the quotas in question in the years 1998 or 1999.
(7) It has been found in the past that the method provided for in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94, which is based on the order in which applications are received, may not be an appropriate way of allocating that portion of the quota reserved for non-traditional importers. Consequently, in accordance with Article 2(4) of Regulation (EC) No 520/94, it is appropriate to provide for allocation in proportion to the quantities requested, on the basis of a simultaneous examination of import licence applications actually lodged, in accordance with Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94.
(8) In order to ensure that the quotas can be efficiently allocated and used, any speculative applications should be excluded, and it is furthermore necessary to allocate economically significant quantities. To this end the amount that any non-traditional importer may request should be restricted to a set volume.
(9) For the purposes of quota allocation, a time limit must be set for the submission of licence applications by traditional and other importers.

2. Member States may not prohibit the offer or delivery for direct human consumption of wine derived from grapes harvested and vinified on the territory of the United States of America in accordance with the provisions in force in that country on the grounds that one or more of the oenological processes listed in 2(a) and (b) of the Annex may have been used.

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1336/86 of 6 May 1986 fixing compensation for the definitive discontinuation of milk production
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1335/86 (2), and in particular Article 5c (6) thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, Whereas the European Parliament stated its opinion on this proposal in a resolution on 21 February 1986; Whereas developments on the milk market have made necessary a 3 % reduction in the global quantities referred to in Article 5c of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 and the Annex to Council Regulation (EEC) No 857/84 of 31 March 1984 adopting general rules for the application of the levy referred to in Article 5c of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 in the milk and milk products sector (3), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal; whereas the said reduction is being implemented in two stages i.e. 2 % with effect from 1 April 1987 and 1 % with effect from 1 April 1988; Whereas, in order to facilitate the reduction of deliveries and direct sales involved in reducing guaranteed global quantities, a Community system should be established to finance the discontinuation of milk production by granting any producer, at the latter's request and provided that he fulfils certain eligibility requirements, compensation in return for his undertaking to discontinue definitively all milk production; Whereas, in the light of experience, the compensation may be fixed at 4 ECU per 100 kilograms of milk or milk equivalent, payable for seven years; whereas, however, it may be necessary to increase the level of compensation in order to achieve the reduction target; whereas, therefore, Member States should be authorized to put up additional financing, the amount of which may be adjusted to take account of specific regional features; whereas the quantities thus repurchased by Community and, possibly, national financing may neither be earmarked for the national reserve nor re-allocated to producers or purchasers; Whereas the compensation is, in principle, granted for the whole of the reference quantity; whereas, however, this right should in certain cases be limited since producers having benefited prior to the entry into force of this Regulation from Article 4 (1) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 857/84 are excluded from it; Whereas, should part of the sums provided for Community financing and fixed in the Annex to this Regulation not be used by the Member States, the latter should, in the interests of restructuring, be authorized to earmark the amounts still available for the financing of national programmes for repurchasing the reference quantities referred to in Article 4 (1) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 857/84, for the benefit of producers permitted to participate in them after the entry into force of this Regulation; Whereas, account should be taken of cases where the holding is the subject of leases; Whereas the aim of the Community compensation is to restore market balance for the products concerned and may, therefore, be considered as an intervention within the meaning of Article 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (4), as last modified by Regulation (EEC) No 870/85 (5),
1. At the request of the party concerned and subject to the conditions defined in this Regulation, and within the limits of the quantities laid down in Annex I, compensation shall be granted to any producer, as defined in the first subparagraph of Article 12 (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 857/84, who undertakes to discontinue milk production definitively.Where the second subparagraph of Article 12 (c) of the aforesaid Regulation is applicable, compensation is granted to each associated producer, subject to the same conditions. Milk production must be actually discontinued not later than:- 31 March 1987 for the first year of application;-31 March 1988 for the second year of application. 2. Eligible producers are those who have obtained a reference quantity according to Article 5 (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68, in the context of either formulas A or B or direct sales.However, Member States may decide not to grant compensation to producers possessing less than six dairy cows or whose reference quantity is less than 25 000 kilograms a year. 3. Compensation is granted for the reference quantities for which the producers are entitled when this Regulation enters into force, excluding those quantities allocated in accordance with Article 3 (1) and (2) and Article 4 (1) (b) and (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 857/84.
1. The Community financing of the measure provided for in this Regulation is limited to the quantities referred to in Annex II. 2. Within the limits of these amounts, Member States are authorized to pay maximum compensation of 4 ECU per year and per 100 kilograms of milk or milk equivalent as defined in Regulations (EEC) No 857/84 and (EEC) No 1371/84 (1).The compensation is paid for seven years. 3. Member States may contribute to the financing of the measure by increasing the level of compensation.The level of the increase may be adjusted within the Member State to take account of the differing local conditions in respect of:- milk production developments,-the average level of deliveries per producer,-the need to avoid hampering the restructuring of milk production,-the existence of opportunities for converting to other productive activities,-the siting of milk production in one of the zones as defined in Article 3 (3) (4) and (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC (2), as last amended by Directive 82/786/EEC (3). 4. Compensation is granted for the whole of the reference quantity of the applicant subject to Article 1 (3).In the case of producers who have two reference quantities, one for deliveries to purchasers and one for direct sales, compensation is granted for the two reference quantities. 5. The amounts referred to in Annex II may not be entirely used up where a compensation of less than 4 ECU is paid in respect of the quantities referred to in Annex I or where payment of a compensation of not less than 4 ECU to all those eligible does not enable the said quantities to be attained;In such case, the portion of the amounts referred to in Annex II which remains available may be used forthwith by the Member States concerned for the purposes of the provisions referred to in Articles 3 (2) and 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 857/84. 6. The reference quantities released pursuant to paragraphs 1 to 4 may not be re-earmarked or re-allocated.
1. In the case of leases, the request for compensation shall be submitted by the lessee. 2. Member States may, however, determine the conditions under which the lessee may submit the request for compensation and the conditions under which compensation may be granted.
Member States shall, communicate to the Commission once a year, by no later than 31 May 1987 and 31 May 1988 for the periods expiring on 31 March 1987 and 31 March 1988 respectively all the information needed for an assessment to be made of the effectiveness of the measure provided for in this Regulation.
The Commission, according to the procedure laid down in Article 30 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68, shall adopt measures for the application of this Regulation, in particular:(a) the period for requests and their contents;(b)the conditions and time limits for the approval of requests;(c)the procedures for the payment of compensation;(d)inspection procedures to ensure that the undertakings arising from the grant of compensation are honoured;(e)procedures for the recovery of amounts paid where these undertakings have not been honoured;(f)the procedures for the application of Articles 2 (5) and 4.
The financing of the measure provided for in Article 2 (1) is considered as intervention within the meaning of Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70.
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 May 1986.

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.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 of 20 November 2009 establishing a Community control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy (1), and in particular Article 36(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EU) No 40/2013 of 21 January 2013 fixing for 2013 the fishing opportunities available in EU waters and, to EU vessels, in certain non-EU waters for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks which are subject to international negotiations or agreements (2), lays down quotas for 2013.
(2) According to the information received by the Commission, catches of the stock referred to in the Annex to this Regulation by vessels flying the flag of or registered in the Member State referred to therein have exhausted the quota allocated for 2013.
(3) It is therefore necessary to prohibit fishing activities for that stock,
Quota exhaustion
The fishing quota allocated to the Member State referred to in the Annex to this Regulation for the stock referred to therein for 2013 shall be deemed to be exhausted from the date set out in that Annex.
Prohibitions
Fishing activities for the stock referred to in the Annex to this Regulation by vessels flying the flag of or registered in the Member State referred to therein shall be prohibited from the date set out in that Annex.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1749/2006
of 27 November 2006
amending Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 on rules of application for import and export licences in the beef and veal sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1), and in particular Article 33(12) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 of 26 June 1995 on rules of application for import and export licences in the beef and veal sector and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 (2) sets out the conditions for the operation of the system of import and export licences in the beef and veal sector.
(2) Since the start of 2005, the level of export refunds in the beef and veal sector has been reduced several times. The level of the security for export licences with advance fixing of the refund has not, however, been adapted to this new situation. The levels of that security should be adapted to take account of these reductions, maintaining a ratio between the level of the security and the level of the refund similar to that which applied prior to the reduction of the refunds.
(3) Exports in the beef and veal sector have been declining steadily since 2000. In the interests of simplification and efficient management, in the current context it would also appear appropriate to review the rules for issuing those export licences which do not have to be issued immediately. In this context, the communication by the Member States to the Commission of applications for export licences should be limited to one notification per week. Similarly, the quantities for which export licences may, at the request of the operator, be issued immediately should be increased from 22 to 25 tonnes.
(4) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1741/2006 (3) lays down the conditions for granting the special export refund on boned meat of adult male bovine animals placed under the customs warehousing procedure prior to export. To allow the smooth operation of that system, it should be laid down that licences which are to be issued immediately, with a validity restricted to five working days, do not allow access to the customs warehousing procedure prior to export provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1741/2006.
(5) For the same reasons, it should also be laid down that the reduction of the refund provided for in Article 18(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 of 15 April 1999 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural products (4) where the destination of the beef and veal has changed from that initially indicated on the export certificate does not apply to the beef and veal placed under that system.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 9(1) is amended as follows:
(a) in point (a), ‘ECU 44’ is replaced by ‘EUR 26’;
(b) in point (b), ‘ECU 29’ is replaced by ‘EUR 15’;
(c) in point (c), ‘ECU 16’ is replaced by ‘EUR 9’.
2. Article 10 is amended as follows:
(a) paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:
(b) paragraph 5 is replaced by the following:
3. In Article 11, the following paragraph 2 is added:
4. In the first indent of Article 13(1)", the words ’and Thursday’ are deleted.
5. Annex IIIa, as set out in the Annex to this Regulation, is added.
6. Annex IV is amended as follows:
(a) ‘Addressee: DG VI/D/2; Fax (32-2) 296 60 27’ is replaced by:
(b) In the title of Part A, ‘Thursday’ is deleted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2007.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards coordination of activities of the different Structural Funds between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2082/93 (2), and in particular Article 10 (1) last subparagraph thereof,
After consultation of the Advisory Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions and the Committee pursuant to Article 124 of the Treaty,
Whereas the programming procedure for structural assistance under Objective 2 is defined in Article 9 (8) to (10) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 of 24 June 1988 on the tasks of the Structural Funds and their effectiveness and on coordination of their activities between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2081/93 (4); whereas, however, the last subparagraph of Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 foresees that in order to simplify and to speed up programming procedures, Member States may submit in a Single Programming Document the information required for the regional and social conversion plan referred to in Article 9 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 and the information required at Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88; whereas Article 10 (1) last subparagraph of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 foresees that in that case the Commission adopts a single decision in a Single Document covering the points referred to in Article 8 (3) and the assistance from the Funds referred to in the last subparagraph of Article 14 (3);
Whereas the Commission has established, by Decision 94/169/EC (5), an initial list of declining industrial areas concerned by Objective 2 for the period 1994 to 1996;
Whereas the French Government has submitted to the Commission on 28 April 1994 the Single Programming Document referred to in Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 for the region of Lorraine; whereas this document contains the elements referred to in Article 9 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 and in Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88; whereas expenditure under this Single Programming Document is eligible pursuant to Article 33 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, from 1 January 1994;
Whereas the Single Programming Document submitted by this Member State includes a description of the conversion priorities selected and the applications for assistance from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the European Social Fund (ESF) as well as an indication of the planned use of the assistance available from the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the other financial instruments in implementing the Single Programming Document;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, the Commission is charged with ensuring, within the framework of the partnership, coordination and consistency between assistance from the Funds and assistance provided by the EIB and the other financial instruments, including the ECSC and the other actions for structural purposes;
Whereas the EIB has been involved in the drawing up of the Single Programming Document in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, applicable by analogy in the establishment of the Single Programming Document; whereas it has declared itself prepared to contribute to the implementation of this document in conformity with its statutory provisions; whereas, however, it has not yet been possible to evaluate precisely the amounts of Community loans corresponding to the financial needs;
Whereas Article 2 second subparagraph of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1866/90 of 2 July 1990 on arrangements for using the ecu for the purpose of the budgetary management of the Structural Funds (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2745/94 (2), stipulates that in the Commission Decisions approving a Single Programming Document, the Community assistance available for the entire period and the annual breakdown thereof shall be set out in ecus at prices for the year in which each Decision is taken and shall be subject to indexation; whereas this annual breakdown must be compatible with the progressive increase in the commitment appropriations shown in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88; whereas indexation is based on a single rate per year, corresponding to the rates applied annually to budget appropriations on the basis of the mechanism for the technical adjustment of the financial perspectives;
Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4254/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the European Regional Development Fund (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2083/93 (4), defines the measures for which the ERDF may provide financial support;
Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4255/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the European Social Fund (5), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2084/93 (6), defines the measures for which the ESF may provide financial support;
Whereas the Single Programming Document has been established in agreement with the Member State concerned through the partnership defined in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88;
Whereas the Single Programming Document satisfies the conditions and includes the information required by Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88;
Whereas Article 9 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 lays down that Member States shall provide the relevant financial information to the Commission to permit verification of the respect of the principle of additionality; whereas the analysis, in the framework of partnership, of the information provided for by the French authorities has not yet allowed this verification; whereas, payments should therefore be suspended after the first advance provided for in Article 21 (2) of the said Regulation until the Commission will have verified the respect of the additionality;
Whereas the present assistance satisfies the conditions laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, and so should be implemented by means of an integrated approach involving finance from more than one Fund;
Whereas Article 1 of the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (7), as last amended by Regulation (ECSC, EC, Euratom) No 2730/94 (8), states that the legal commitments entered into for measures extending over more than one financial year must contain a time limit for implementation which must be specified to the recipient in due form when the aid is granted;
Whereas all the other conditions laid down for the grant of aid from the ERDF and the ESF have been complied with,
The Single Programming Document for Community structural assistance in the region of Lorraine concerned by Objective 2 in France, covering the period 1 January 1994 to 31 December 1996, is hereby approved.
The Single Programming Document includes the following essential elements:

The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds to the various priorities and measures, is set out in the financing plan and the detailed implementing provisions which form an integral part of the Single Programming Document.
The national financial contribution envisaged, which is approximately ECU 142 million for the public sector and ECU 14 million for the private sector, may be met in part by Community loans, in particular from the ECSC and EIB.
1. The breakdown among the Structural Funds of the total Community assistance available is as follows:
- ERDF:ECU 102,93 million,
- ESF:ECU 24,47 million.
2. The budgetary commitments for the first instalment are as follows:

The breakdown among the Structural Funds and the procedure for the grant of the assistance may be altered subsequently, subject to the availability of funds and the budgetary rules, in the light of adjustments decided according to the procedure laid down in Article 25 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88.
The Community aid concerns expenditure on operations under the Single Programming Document which, in the Member State concerned, are the subject of legally binding commitments and for which the requisite finance has been specifically allocated no later than 31 December 1996. The final date for taking account of expenditure on these measures is 31 December 1998.
The Single Programming Document shall be implemented in accordance with Community law, and in particular Articles 6, 30, 48, 52, 59, 92 and 93 of the EC Treaty and the Community Directives on the coordination of procedures for the award of contracts.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 525/77 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2990/78 (4) introduced a special production aid system for tinned pineapple which takes into account both the geographical location and the features peculiar to the production concerned which is found only in a particular French overseas department; whereas that Regulation should be amended in the light of the experience gained with that product and the aid system introduced for certain Mediterranean products pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 988/84 (6);
Whereas, in view of the geographical location and the features peculiar to this production, the minimum price payable to the producer should reflect the trend of costs in the region; whereas the processing costs taken into account for the first fixing of the aid should be determined in the light of the rate of inflation in the production area in question,
Articles 3 to 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 525/77 are hereby replaced by the following:
'Article 3
Production aid shall be paid to processors who have paid pineapple producers at least the minimum price specified in the contracts or supply commitments between, on the one hand, producers or recognized producers' groups or associations thereof and, on the other, processors or processors' groups or associations thereof which have been legally set up in the Community.
1. The minimum price payable to the producer shall be determined in the light of:
(a) the minimum price applicable during the preceding marketing year;
(b) the trend of production costs in the fruit and vegetables sector.
2. The minimum price shall be fixed before the beginning of each marketing year.
1. Production aid shall be fixed at a level which makes possible the disposal of tinned pineapple produced in the Community.
2. For the purposes of calculating the aid, the following in particular shall be taken into account:
- for the first fixing of the aid: the difference between the minimum price for raw pineapples as referred to in Article 3 and the price set by non-member countries, the latter price being converted on a standard basis into its equivalent for raw pineapples,
- for any subsequent fixing of the aid: the aid applicable in respect of the preceding marketing year, adjusted to take account of changes in the minimum price referred to in Article 3, on the basis of the price set by non-member countries and, where necessary, any change in the processing costs, such change being determined on a standard basis.
3. The price set by non-member countries shall be determined in particular on the basis of:
(a) the prices, in the Community, used by non-member supplying countries;
(b) the prices obtaining on the international market.
4. For the first fixing of the aid, the standard conversion of the price set by non-member countries into its equivalent for raw pineapples shall take account of pineapple-processing costs in the Community, to be determined on the basis of the situation in 1984/85, adjusted by an amount not exceeding the rate of inflation in the pineapple-growing area concerned, due account being taken of the market outlook.
5. For any subsequent fixing of the aid, the adjustment for changes in processing costs shall be that required to enable the Community product to compete with those of non-member countries, account being taken of the features peculiar to the region of production.
6. The aid shall be fixed in respect of a net weight of the processed product. The coefficients representing the ratio between the weight of the raw pineapples used and the net weight of the processed product shall be calculated on the basis of the quantities of raw pineapples used and the net weight of tinned pineapple produced in the Community during the 1984/85 marketing year. Where appropriate, the coefficients shall be adjusted in the light of any changes which may subsequently be recorded.
The marketing year for tinned pineapple shall begin on 1 June each year and end on 31 May of the following year.
1. Production aid shall be paid to processors who apply therefor and who furnish proof that:
- they have manufactured the quantity of tinned pineapple stated in their application for aid,
- the pineapples used in the manufacture of the tinned pineapple were grown in the Community,
- they have paid the pineapple growers at least the minimum price laid down,
- the tinned pineapple produced complies with the quality standards in force.
2. However, advances on the aid shall be paid upon presentation of the contract or supply commitment referred to in Article 3, between the grower of fresh pineapples and the processor, provided that the latter lodges security to the effect that he will fulfil the conditions laid down in paragraph 1 of this Article.
The minimum price referred to in Article 4, the amount of the aid referred to in Article 5 and the detailed rules for the application of this Regulation shall be laid down in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 20 of Regulation (EEC) No 516/77.'
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply as from 1 June 1985.

However, that duty may not exceed the rate of duty in the Common Customs Tariff.
(2) Pursuant to Article 10(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, the cif import prices are calculated on the basis of the representative prices for the product in question on the world market.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 lays down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards import duties in the cereals sector.
(4) The import duties are applicable until new duties are fixed and enter into force. They also remain in force in cases where no quotation is available for the reference exchange referred to in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 during the two weeks preceding the next periodical fixing.
(5) In order to allow the import duty system to function normally, the representative market rates recorded during a reference period should be used for calculating the duties.
(6) Application of Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 results in import duties being fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation,
The import duties in the cereals sector referred to in Article 10(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 shall be those fixed in Annex I to this Regulation on the basis of the information given in Annex II.

REGULATION (EU) No 1026/2012 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 25 October 2012
on certain measures for the purpose of the conservation of fish stocks in relation to countries allowing non-sustainable fishing
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 43(2) and Article 207 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),
Whereas:
(1) As provided in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982 (‘UNCLOS’) and in the United Nations Agreement for the Implementation of the Provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982 relating to the Conservation and Management of Straddling Fish Stocks and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks of 4 August 1995 (‘UNFSA’), the management of certain shared, straddling and highly migratory fish stocks requires the cooperation of all the countries in whose waters the stock occurs (the coastal States) and the countries whose fleets exploit that stock (the fishing States). This cooperation may be established in the framework of regional fisheries management organisations (‘RFMOs’) or, where RFMOs have no competence for the stock in question, by means of ad hoc arrangements among the countries having an interest in the fishery.
(2) Where a third country with an interest in a fishery involving a stock of common interest to that country and to the Union allows, without due regard to existing fishing patterns or the rights, duties and interests of other countries and the Union, fisheries activities that jeopardise the sustainability of that stock, and fails to cooperate with other countries and the Union in its management, specific measures should be adopted in order to encourage that country to contribute to the conservation of that stock.
(3) Fish stocks should be considered to be in an unsustainable state when they are not continuously maintained at or above the levels that can produce maximum sustainable yield or, if these levels cannot be estimated, when the stocks are not continuously maintained within safe biological limits.
(4) It is necessary to define the conditions upon which a country can be considered to be a country allowing non-sustainable fishing and subject to measures under this Regulation, including a process granting the countries concerned the right to be heard and allowing them an opportunity to adopt corrective action.
(5) In addition, it is necessary to define the type of measures that may be taken with regard to countries allowing non-sustainable fishing and to establish general conditions for the adoption of such measures, so that they are based on objective criteria and are equitable, cost-effective and compatible with international law, in particular with the Agreement establishing the World Trade Organisation.
(6) Such measures should aim to remove the incentives for countries allowing non-sustainable fishing to fish the stock of common interest. This can be achieved inter alia by restricting the importation of fish products caught by vessels conducting fisheries on a stock of common interest under the control of the country allowing non-sustainable fishing, by restricting the access to ports for those vessels, or by preventing Union fishing vessels or Union fishing equipment from being used for fishing the stock of common interest under the control of the country allowing non-sustainable fishing.
(7) In order to ensure that Union action for the conservation of fish stocks is effective and coherent, it is important that the measures set out in Council Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008 of 29 September 2008 establishing a Community system to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (3) are taken into consideration.
(8) In order to guarantee that measures adopted against a country under this Regulation are environmentally sound, effective, proportionate and compatible with international rules, it is necessary for their adoption to be preceded by an evaluation of their expected environmental, trade, economic and social effects.
(9) If measures adopted against a country under this Regulation are ineffective and that country continues to be considered to be a country allowing non-sustainable fishing, further measures may be adopted in accordance with this Regulation.
(10) The measures adopted against a country under this Regulation should cease to apply when the country allowing non-sustainable fishing has adopted the measures necessary for its contribution to the conservation of the stock of common interest.
(11) In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of this Regulation, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission with regard to identifying a country allowing non-sustainable fishing, to adopting measures in respect of such country and to deciding that such measures should cease to apply. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 2011 laying down the rules and general principles concerning mechanisms for control by Member States of the Commission’s exercise of implementing powers (4).
(12) The Commission should adopt immediately applicable implementing acts where, in duly justified cases relating to the end of application of measures taken pursuant to this Regulation, imperative grounds of urgency so require,
Subject matter and scope
1. This Regulation lays down a framework for the adoption of certain measures regarding the fisheries-related activities and policies of third countries in order to ensure the long-term conservation of stocks of common interest to the Union and those third countries.
2. The measures adopted pursuant to this Regulation may apply in all cases where cooperation between third countries and the Union is required for the joint management of the stocks of common interest, including where that cooperation takes place in the context of an RFMO or a similar body.
Definitions
For the purposes of this Regulation the following definitions shall apply:
(a) ‘stock of common interest’ means a fish stock the geographical distribution of which makes it available to both the Union and third countries and the management of which requires the cooperation between such countries and the Union, in either bilateral or multilateral settings;
(b) ‘associated species’ means any fish that belongs to the same ecosystem as the stock of common interest and that preys upon that stock, is preyed on by it, competes with it for food and living space or co-occurs with it in the same fishing area, and that is exploited or accidentally taken in the same fishery or fisheries;
(c) ‘regional fisheries management organisation’ or ‘RFMO’ means a sub-regional, regional or a similar organisation with competence under international law to establish conservation and management measures for living marine resources placed under its responsibility by virtue of the convention or agreement by which it was established;
(d) ‘importation’ means the introduction of fish or fishery products into the territory of the Union, including for transhipment purposes at ports in its territory;
(e) ‘transhipment’ means the unloading of all or any fish or fishery products on board a fishing vessel to another fishing vessel;
(f) ‘unsustainable state’ means the condition where the stock is not continuously maintained at or above the levels that can produce maximum sustainable yield or, if these levels cannot be estimated, where the stock is not continuously maintained within safe biological limits; the stock levels determining whether the stock is in an unsustainable state are to be determined on the basis of best available scientific advice;
(g) ‘safe biological limits’ means the boundaries of the size of a stock within which the stock can replenish itself with high probability while allowing high yield fisheries on it;
(h) ‘country’ means a third country, including territories enjoying self-governing status and endowed with competencies in the area of conservation and management of living marine resources.
Countries allowing non-sustainable fishing
A country may be identified as a country allowing non-sustainable fishing where:
(a) it fails to cooperate in the management of a stock of common interest in full compliance with the provisions of the UNCLOS and the UNFSA, or any other international agreement or norm of international law; and
(b) either:
(i) it fails to adopt necessary fishery management measures; or
(ii) it adopts fishery management measures without due regard to the rights, interests and duties of other countries and the Union, and those fishery management measures, when considered in conjunction with measures taken by other countries and the Union, lead to fishing activities which could result in the stock being in an unsustainable state. This condition is considered to be complied with also where the fishery management measures adopted by that country did not lead to the stock being in an unsustainable state solely due to measures adopted by others.
Measures in respect of countries allowing non-sustainable fishing
1. The Commission may adopt, by means of implementing acts, the following measures in respect of a country allowing non-sustainable fishing:
(a) identifying that country as a country allowing non-sustainable fishing;
(b) identifying, where necessary, the specific vessels or fleets of that country to which certain measures are to apply;
(c) imposing quantitative restrictions on importations of fish from the stock of common interest that have been caught under the control of that country and on importations of fishery products made of or containing such fish;
(d) imposing quantitative restrictions on importations of fish of any associated species, and fishery products made of or containing such fish, when caught while conducting fisheries on the stock of common interest under the control of that country; when adopting the measure, the Commission shall, in accordance with Article 5(4) of this Regulation, in application of the principle of proportionality, determine which species and their catches fall within the scope of the measure;
(e) imposing restrictions on the use of Union ports by vessels flying the flag of that country that fish the stock of common interest and/or associated species and by vessels transporting fish and fishery products stemming from the stock of common interest and/or associated species that have been caught either by vessels flying the flag of that country or by vessels authorised by it while flying another flag; such restrictions shall not apply in cases of force majeure or distress within the meaning of Article 18 of the UNCLOS for services strictly necessary to remedy those situations;
(f) prohibiting the purchase by Union economic operators of a fishing vessel flying the flag of that country;
(g) prohibiting the reflagging of fishing vessels flying the flag of a Member State to the flag of that country;
(h) prohibiting Member States from authorising the conclusion of chartering agreements whereby Union economic operators charter their vessels to economic operators of that country;
(i) prohibiting the exportation to that country of fishing vessels flying the flag of a Member State or of fishing equipment and supplies needed to fish on the stock of common interest;
(j) prohibiting the conclusion of private trade arrangements between Union economic operators and that country that enable a fishing vessel flying the flag of a Member State to use fishing opportunities of that country;
(k) prohibiting joint fishing operations involving fishing vessels flying the flag of a Member State and fishing vessels flying the flag of that country.
2. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 8(2).
General requirements concerning the measures adopted pursuant to this Regulation
1. The measures referred to in Article 4 shall be:
(a) related to the conservation of the stock of common interest;
(b) made effective in conjunction with restrictions on fishing by Union vessels, or on production or consumption within the Union, applicable to fish and fishery products made of or containing such fish of the species for which the measures have been adopted;
(c) proportionate to the objectives pursued and compatible with the obligations imposed by international agreements to which the Union is a party and any other relevant norms of international law.
2. The measures referred to in Article 4 shall take into account measures already taken pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008.
3. The measures referred to in Article 4 shall not be applied in a manner which would constitute a means of arbitrary or unjustifiable discrimination between countries where the same conditions prevail or a disguised restriction on international trade.
4. When adopting the measures referred to in Article 4, the Commission shall, in order to ensure that those measures are environmentally sound, effective, proportionate and compatible with international rules, evaluate the environmental, trade, economic and social effects of those measures in the short and long terms and the administrative burden associated with their implementation.
5. The measures referred to in Article 4 shall provide for an appropriate system for their enforcement by competent authorities.
Procedures prior to the adoption of measures in respect to countries allowing non-sustainable fishing
1. Where the Commission considers that it is necessary to adopt measures referred to in Article 4, it shall notify the country concerned of the intention to identify it as a country allowing non-sustainable fishing. In such cases, the European Parliament and the Council shall be immediately informed.
2. That notification shall include information on the reasons for the identification of that country as a country allowing non-sustainable fishing and shall describe the possible measures that may be taken in relation to it pursuant to this Regulation.
3. Prior to adopting measures referred to in Article 4, the Commission shall provide the country concerned with a reasonable opportunity to respond to the notification in writing and to remedy the situation within one month of receiving that notification.
Period of application of the measures in respect to countries allowing non-sustainable fishing
1. The measures referred to in Article 4 shall cease to apply when the country allowing non-sustainable fishing adopts appropriate corrective measures necessary for the conservation and management of the stock of common interest and those corrective measures:
(a) have either been adopted autonomously or have been agreed in the context of consultations with the Union and, where applicable, other countries concerned; and
(b) do not undermine the effect of measures taken by the Union either autonomously, or in cooperation with other countries, for the purpose of the conservation of the fish stocks concerned.
2. The Commission shall adopt implementing acts determining whether the conditions laid down in paragraph 1 have been complied with and, where necessary, providing that the measures adopted in respect of the country concerned pursuant to Article 4 cease to apply. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 8(2).
On duly justified imperative grounds of urgency relating to unforeseen economic or social disruption, the Commission shall adopt immediately applicable implementing acts in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 8(3) to decide that the measures adopted pursuant to Article 4 are to cease to apply.
Committee procedure

2. Where reference is made to this paragraph, Article 5 of Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 shall apply.
3. Where reference is made to this paragraph, Article 8 of Regulation (EU) No 182/2011, in conjunction with Article 5 thereof, shall apply.
4. The results of the evaluation referred to in Article 5(4), shall be made available to the European Parliament and the Council, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 10(4) of Regulation (EU) No 182/2011, together with the documents referred to therein.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 of 24 February 1986 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular Article 3 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, in order to encourage the conclusion of contracts between groups of tomato producers on the one hand and associations of processors or processors on the other, Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 provides for the grant on certain terms of an additional premium;
Whereas the 'significant specific percentage' for the total quantity of processed tomatoes covered by contracts concluded with producers' groups must be set for the 1994/95 marketing year;
Whereas, in view of the important role played by tomato producers' groups in the producer Member States, it is desirable to maintain at the same level as for the 1993/94 marketing year the percentage of the quantities of tomatoes covered by contracts concluded with producers' associations in relation to the total quantity of processed tomatoes; whereas, however, the question of the expediency of the measure and whether or not to pursue it will need to be examined in the context of the reform of the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables,
For the 1994/95 marketing year, the percentage mentioned in Article 3 (1a) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 shall be 80 %.

Whereas, where the free-at-frontier offer price for a product falls below the sluice-gate price, the levy on that product must be increased by an additional amount equal to the difference between the sluice-gate price and that offer price;
Whereas the levy is not, however, increased by this additional amount as regards third countries which are prepared and in a position to guarantee that the price of imports into the Community of products originating in and coming from their territory will not be lower than the sluice-gate price and that any deflection of trade will be avoided;
Whereas Commission Regulation No 202/67/EEC 3 of 28 June 1967 on fixing the additional amount for imports of pigmeat products from third countries, as amended by Regulation No 614/67/EEC 4, established certain conditions and the procedure for applying Article 13 (2) of Regulation No 121/67/EEC;
Whereas, by letter of 22 July 1971, the competent authorities of the People's Republic of Bulgaria stated that they were prepared to give such guarantee for exports to the Community of live swine, pig carcases and certain cuts of pigmeat ; whereas they will ensure also that these exports are only effected by the State foreign trade agency, Rodopaimpex ; whereas they will ensure also that deliveries of the above-mentioned products are not made at free-at-Community-frontier prices lower than the sluice-gate price valid on the day of customs clearance ; whereas, to that end, they will take all measures necessary to ensure that the State foreign trade agency, Rodopaimpex, does not have recourse, in particular, to any action which might indirectly bring about prices lower than the sluice-gate prices, such as taking over marketing or transport costs, granting rebates, resorting to linked transactions or to any other action having similar effect;
Whereas the competent authorities of the People's Republic of Bulgaria have, furthermore, stated that they are prepared to communicate regularly to the Commission, through the State foreign trade agency, Rodopaimpex, details of exports of live swine, pig carcases and cuts of pigmeat to the Community and to enable the Commission to exercise continuous supervision of the effectiveness of the measures they have taken;
Whereas questions affecting observance of the guarantee given have been discussed in detail with representatives of the competent authorities of the People's Republic of Bulgaria ; whereas, following these discussions, it may be assumed that the People's Republic of Bulgaria is in a position to abide by its guarantee ; whereas, consequently, there is no need to levy an additional amount on imports of the above-mentioned products originating in and coming from the People's Republic of Bulgaria;
Whereas the Management Committee for Pigmeat has not issued an Opinion within the time limit set by its Chairman;
The levies fixed in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation No 121/67/EEC shall not be increased by an additional amount in respect of imports of the following products originating in and coming from the People's Republic of Bulgaria. 1OJ No 117, 19.6.1967, p. 2283/67. 2OJ No L 132, 18.6.1971, p. 1. 3OJ No 134, 30.6.1967, p. 2837/67. 4OJ No 231, 27.9.1967, p. 6.

Whereas, pending the adaptation of the volume of the tariff quota as a result of the accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden and the results of additional verifications concerning certain information communicated by Member States, Commission Regulation (EC) No 2035/96 (5), for the purposes of implementing Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93, provisionally fixes the reduction coefficients to be applied to the reference quantity of each operator in categories A and B, on the basis of a tariff quota volume of 2 200 000 tonnes for 1997;
Whereas the volume of the tariff quota was subsequently fixed at 2 553 000 tonnes for 1997 by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1154/97 (6); whereas, however, the special quantity of 10 000 tonnes reserved for cases of extreme hardship must not be taken into account for the calculation of the reduction coefficients in question;
Whereas, on that basis and taking account of the additional verifications carried out since the adoption of Regulation (EC) No 2035/96, the new coefficients for 1997 should be determined; whereas, for the sake of clarity, Regulation (EC) No 2035/96 should be repealed;
Whereas the provisions of this Regulation must enter into force immediately, given the time limits laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93;
Whereas the Management Committee for Bananas has failed to deliver an opinion within the time limit laid down by its chairman,
The quantity to be allocated to each operator in categories A and B in respect of the period from 1 January to 31 December 1997 within the tariff quota provided for in Articles 18 and 19 of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 shall be calculated by applying to the operator's reference quantity, determined in accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93, the following single reduction coefficients:
- for each category A operator: 0,732550
- for each category B operator: 0,540459
Regulation (EC) No 2035/96 is hereby repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

| COMMISSION DECISION
of 14 October 1998
concerning the application by Italy of the aid scheme provided for by Law No 1329/65 (Legge Sabatini) for the processing and marketing of agricultural products
(notified under document number C(1998) 3213)
(Only the Italian text is authentic)
(1999/349/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 93(2) thereof,
Having given notice to the parties concerned to submit their comments in accordance with the above Article(1),
Whereas:
I. PROCEDURE
(1) By letter dated 12 September 1997, the Italian Permanent Representative to the European Union, in accordance with Article 93(3) of the Treaty, forwarded to the Commission the text of Article 12(1) and (4) of Law No 266 of 7 August 1997 on refinancing the aid referred to in law No 1329 of 28 November 1965 (the "Legge Sebatini").
(2) As indicated above, this notice covers only the application of the provisions in question to the processing and marketing of agricultural products.
(3) By letter dated 17 February 1998, the Commission notified the Italian authorities of its decision to open the procedure provided for by Article 93(2) of the Treaty with respect to the application of the aid measures referred to in Law No 1329/65 in the sector concerned.
(4) The decision to open the procedure was published in the Official Journal of the European Communities. The Commission gave notice to the other Member States and interested parties to submit their comments on the aid.
(5) The Commission received no comments from the other Member States or interested parties.
(6) The Italian authorities submitted comments by letter dated 2 April 1998. By letter dated 8 September 1998, the Commission asked for further details which were supplied by letter dated 16 September 1998.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE AID AND THE REASONS WHY THE COMMISSION DECIDED TO OPEN THE PROCEDURE
(7) Law No 1329/65 (the refinancing of which is the subject of this Decision) provides for aid for investment in the purchase of machinery and technical equipment.
(8) The aid is granted for hire purchase of machinery and equipment and consists of reductions on interest rates for discounting bills of exchange signed by the purchaser in favour of the seller. The aid consists of the difference between the net receipt calculated at the reference discount rate valid on the day discounting takes place and the net receipt calculated at the reduced discount rate.
(9) The aid is paid to the purchaser, either directly by the seller at the moment the hire purchase operation takes place (in the form of a discount on the price of the goods) or through the bank which discounts the bill of exchange presented by the seller (in the form of an ex-post subsidy).
(10) The reduction may not exceed:
- 85 % of the reference discount rate, up to a maximum of eight percentage points, for investments relating to installations in Objective 1 regions,
- 50 % of the reference discount rate, up to a maximum of five percentage points, for other regions.
(11) The eligible cost for each operation (a maximum of ITL 3000 million or ITL 4500 million where the same undertaking carries out several operations in the same year) is represented by the capital to be repaid and the interest on that payment (the interest rate may not exceed the reference rate). Repayments must be made within five years.
(12) The gross subsidy equivalent (GSE) of the aid cannot be calculated on the basis of the above.
(13) The aid must be assessed in the light of the guidelines for State aid in connection with investments in the processing and marketing of agricultural products(2).
(14) Those guidelines lay down that State aid granted for the investments referred to in the second and third indents of point 1.2 of the Annex to Commission Decision 94/173/EC(3) or excluded unconditionally in point 2 of that Decision may not be considered compatible with the common market.
(15) The intensity of the aid may not exceed 55 % of the eligible investment (75 % in Objective 1 regions).
(16) Since the Italian authorities have given no assurance that the aid complied with the sectoral limits laid down in Decision 94/173/EC or with the above intensities, the Commission took the view that the aid measure was incompatible with the common market since the aid might be granted for investments excluded under the guidelines for State aid in connection with investments in the processing and marketing of agricultural products and the information available did not permit verification of whether the limits laid down in the guidelines were respected.
III. COMMENTS SUBMITTED BY THE ITALIAN AUTHORITIES
(17) By letters dated 2 April 1998 and 16 September 1998, the Italian authorities submitted the following details and made the following undertakings:
(a) the intensity of the aid, expressed as GSE, does not exceed 17 % in Objective 1 regions and 9,5 % in other regions;
(b) compliance with the sectoral limits laid down in the Annex to Decision 94/173/EC will be ensured by the application, also under Law No 1329/65, of the criteria used under Law No 488/92. This latter Law was their subject of the final Commission Decision of 22 July 1998(4), which confirmed the compatibility, under certain conditions, of investment aid provided for in that Law with the Community guidelines for State aid in connection with investments in the processing and marketing of agricultural products and therefore with the common market. The Italian authorities have given assurances that the conditions referred to in the Decision of 22 July 1998 will be respected when the measures provided for in Law No 1329/65 are applied in the sector concerned.
IV. CONCLUSIONS
(18) The assurances given by the Italian authorities in their letters dated 2 April 1998 and 16 September 1998 clear the doubts which led the Commission to open the procedure provided for in Article 93(2) of the Treaty with respect to the aid in question.
(19) The investment aid referred to in Law No 1329/65 may be considered to comply, under the conditions referred to in point 17 of this Decision, with the Community guidelines for State aid in connection with investments in the processing and marketing of agricultural products. The aid may therefore benefit from the derogation provided for in Article 92(3)(c) of the Treaty.
(20) In application of the second subparagraph of point 3(b) of the above Community guidelines, the Commission will ask the Italian Government to submit an annual report giving details of any grant of aid during the year and, in particular, containing all the information necessary to enable the Commission to conclude, without recourse to additional enquiry, that aid is indeed granted in accordance with each of the conditions referred to in point 2 of the Annex to Decision 94/173/EC,
The application with regard to the processing and marketing of agricultural products of the investment aid scheme provided for by Law No 1329 of 28 November 1965 is compatible with the common market under the following conditions:
(a) the intensity of the aid, expressed as gross subsidy equivalent (GSE), does not exceed 17 % in Objective 1 regions and 9,5 % in other regions;
(b) the sectoral limits laid down in the Annex to Decision 94/173/EC, as referred to in the implementing provisions for Law No 488 of 19 December 1992, as amended in accordance with the Commission Decision of 22 July 1998, are respected.
Before implementing the scheme referred to in Article 1 with respect to the processing and marketing of agricultural products, the Italian Government shall amend its implementing provisions in order to comply with the conditions set out in that Article.
The Italian Government shall notify the Commission of the provisions adopted to comply with the above conditions within fifteen days of their adoption.
The Italian Government shall submit to the Commission an annual report giving details of any grant of aid during the year and, in particular, containing all the information necessary to enable the Commission to conclude, without recourse to additional enquiry, that each of the conditions referred to in point 2 of the Annex to Decision 94/173/EC has been met.

laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards the granting of private storage aid for certain cheeses in the 2008/09 storage period
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999, private storage aid may be granted for long-keeping cheeses and for cheeses which are manufactured from sheep’s and/or goat’s milk and require at least six months for maturing, if for those cheeses price developments and the stock situation indicate a serious imbalance of the market which may be eliminated or reduced by seasonal storage.
(2) The seasonal nature of the production of certain long-keeping cheeses and Pecorino Romano, Kefalotyri and Kasseri cheese is aggravated by the fact that the seasonality of consumption is the inverse of the seasonality of production. The fragmented production of such cheeses further aggravates the consequences of that seasonality. Therefore, provision should be made for recourse to seasonal storage in respect of a quantity corresponding to the difference between summer and winter production.
(3) The types of cheeses eligible for aid and the maximum quantities which may qualify for it should be laid down, as well as the duration of the contracts in relation to the real requirements of the market and the keeping qualities of the cheeses in question.
(4) It is necessary to specify the terms of the storage contract and the essential measures to enable the cheese covered by a contract to be identified and subjected to checks. The amount of aid should be fixed taking into account the storage costs and the balance to be maintained between cheeses qualifying for the aid and other cheeses marketed. In view of these elements, and of the available resources, the total amount of aid should not be changed.
(5) Detailed rules should also be laid down regarding documentation, accounting and the frequency and nature of checks. In this connection, it should be laid down that the Member States may charge the costs of checks fully or in part to the contractor.
(6) It should be clarified that only whole cheeses are eligible for the private storage aid.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
Subject matter
This Regulation lays down the detailed rules for granting Community aid for private storage of certain cheeses (hereinafter referred to as aid) pursuant to Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 during the 2008/09 storage period.
Definitions
For the purpose of this Regulation:
(a) ‘storage lot’ means a quantity of cheese weighing at least 2 tonnes, of the same type and taken into storage in a single storage depot on a single day;
(b) ‘day of commencement of contractual storage’ means the day following that of entry into storage;
(c) ‘last day of contractual storage’ means the day before that of removal from storage;
(d) ‘storage period’ means the period during which the cheese can be covered by the private storage scheme, as specified for each type of cheese in the Annex.
Cheeses eligible for aid
1. Aid shall be granted in respect of certain long-keeping cheeses, Pecorino Romano, Kefalotyri and Kasseri cheese under the terms laid down in the Annex. Only whole cheeses are eligible.
2. The cheeses must have been manufactured in the Community and satisfy the following conditions:

Storage contract
1. Contracts relating to the private storage of cheese shall be concluded between the intervention agency of the Member State on whose territory the cheese is stored and natural or legal persons, hereinafter called ‘contractors’.
2. Storage contracts shall be drawn up in writing on the basis of an application to draw up a contract.
Applications must reach intervention agencies within no more than 30 days of the date of entry into storage and may relate only to lots of cheese which have been fully taken into storage. The intervention agencies shall register the date on which each application is received.
If the application reaches the intervention agency within 10 working days following the deadline, the storage contract may still be concluded but the aid shall be reduced by 30 %.
3. Storage contracts shall be concluded for one or more storage lots and shall include, in particular, provisions concerning:
(a) the quantity of cheese to which the contract applies;
(b) the dates relating to the execution of the contract;
(c) the amount of aid;
(d) the identity of the storage depots.
4. Storage contracts shall be concluded within no more than 30 days of the date of registration of the application to draw up a contract.
5. Inspection measures, particularly those referred to in Article 7, shall be the subject of specifications drawn up by the intervention agency. The storage contract shall refer to those specifications.
Entry into and removal from storage
1. The periods of entry into and removal from storage shall be as laid down in the Annex.
2. Removal from storage shall be in whole storage lots.
3. Where, at the end of the first 60 days of contractual storage, the deterioration in the quality of the cheese is greater than is normal in store, contractors may be authorised, once per storage lot, to replace the defective quantity, at their own expense.
If checks during storage or on removal from storage reveal defective quantities, no aid may be paid for those quantities. In addition, the part of the lot which is still eligible for aid may not be less than 2 tonnes.
The second subparagraph shall apply where part of a lot is removed before the start of the period of removal from storage referred to in paragraph 1 or before expiry of the minimum storage period referred to in Article 8(2).
4. For the purpose of calculating the aid in the case referred to in the first subparagraph of paragraph 3, the first day of contractual storage shall be the day of commencement of contractual storage.
Storage conditions
1. The Member State shall ensure that all the conditions granting entitlement to payment of the aid are fulfilled.
2. The contractor or, at the request of the Member State or with its authorisation, the person responsible for the storage depot shall make available to the competent authority responsible for inspection any documentation permitting verification of the following particulars of products placed in private storage:
(a) ownership at the time of entry in storage;
(b) the origin and the date of manufacture of the cheeses;
(c) the date of entry in storage;
(d) presence in the store and the address of the store;
(e) the date of removal from storage.
3. The contractor or, where applicable, the person responsible for the storage depot shall keep stock records available at the depot for each contract, covering:

(b) the dates of entry into and removal from storage;
(c) the number of cheeses and their weight by storage lot;
(d) the location of the products in the store.
4. Products stored must be easily identifiable, easily accessible and identified individually by contract. A special mark shall be affixed to stored cheeses.
Checks
1. On entry into storage the competent agency shall conduct checks, in particular to ensure that products stored are eligible for the aid and to prevent any possibility of substitution of products during storage under contract.
2. The competent agency shall make an unannounced check, by sampling, to ensure that the products are present in the storage depot. The sample concerned must be representative and must correspond to at least 10 % of the overall quantity under contract for a private storage aid measure.
Such checks must include, in addition to an examination of the accounts referred to in Article 6(3), a physical check of the weight and type of products and their identification. Such physical checks must relate to at least 5 % of the quantity subjected to the unannounced check.
3. At the end of the contractual storage period, the competent agency shall check to see that the products are present. However, where the products are still in storage after expiry of the maximum contractual storage period, this check may be made when the products are removed from storage.
For the purposes of the check referred to in the first subparagraph, the contractor shall notify the competent authority, indicating the storage lots concerned, at least five working days before the expiry of the contractual storage period or the start of the removal operations, where these take place during or after the contractual storage period.
The Member State may accept a shorter timelimit than the five working days specified in the second subparagraph.
4. A report shall be drawn up on the checks carried out pursuant to paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, specifying:
(a) the date of the check;
(b) its duration;
(c) the operations carried out.
The report must be signed by the inspector responsible and countersigned by the contractor or, as the case may be, the person responsible for the storage depot, and must be included in the payment dossier.
5. In the case of irregularities affecting at least 5 % of the quantities of products checked, the check shall be extended to a larger sample to be determined by the competent authority.
The Member States shall notify such cases to the Commission within four weeks.
6. Member States may provide that the costs of checks are to be fully or in part charged to the contractor.
Storage aid
1. The aid shall be as follows:
(i) EUR 0,38 per tonne per day of contractual storage for long-keeping cheeses;
(ii) EUR 0,45 per tonne per day of contractual storage for Pecorino Romano;
(iii) EUR 0,59 per tonne per day of contractual storage for Kefalotyri and Kasseri.
2. No aid shall be granted in respect of storage under contract for less than 60 days. The maximum aid payable shall not exceed an amount corresponding to 180 days' storage under contract.
Where the contractor fails to comply with the timelimit referred to in the second or, as the case may be, third subparagraph of Article 7(3), the aid shall be reduced by 15 % and shall be paid only in respect of the period for which the contractor supplies satisfactory proof to the competent agency that the cheeses have remained in contractual storage.
3. The aid shall be paid on application by the contractor, at the end of the contractual storage period, within 120 days of receipt of the application, provided that the checks referred to in Article 7(3) have been carried out and that the conditions for entitlement to the aid have been met.
However, if it has been necessary to commence an administrative inquiry into entitlement to the aid, payment shall not be made until entitlement has been recognised.
