31990D0383 | 90/383/EEC: Commission Decision of 13 July 1990 terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of NPK fertilizers originating in Hungary, Poland, Romania and Yugoslavia
| COMMISSION DECISION
of 13 July 1990
terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of NPK fertilizers originating in Hungary, Poland, Romania and Yugoslavia
(90/383/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
After consultation within the Advisory Committee as provided for under Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) In 1989 the Commission received a complaint lodged by the EFMA/CMC-Engrais, the common market committee of the nitrogen and phosphate fertilizer industry on behalf of producers representing about 90 % of Community production concerning imports of NPK fertilizers originating in Hungary, Poland, Romania and Yugoslavia. The complaint contained evidence of dumping and of material injury resulting therefrom, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a proceeding.
The Commission accordingly announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (2), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of NPK fertilizers falling within CN codes 3105 20 10 and 3105 20 90, and commenced an investigation.
(2) The Commission officially so advised the exporters and importers known to be concerned, the representatives of the exporting countries and the complainant, and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing. Questionnaires were sent to all known exporters and importers concerned.
(3) The Commission, for the purposes of obtaining all the information it deemed necessary, sent questionnaires to the companies on whose behalf the complaint was made, in order to allow each company to demonstrate the injury caused to it by dumped imports of NPK fertilizers from the alleged countries. The Commission carried out a detailed analysis of those companies which returned completed questionnaires and whose combined production represents the Community industry.
(4) All the exporters as well as the importers known to be concerned made known their views in writing. All of them requested and were granted hearings. The complainant also requested and was granted a hearing.
(5) The Commission verified the information received to the extent it deemed necessary for the purposes of a preliminary determination and carried out investigations at the premises of the following Community companies whose production of NPK fertilizers represents more than 50 % of the total Community output (the remaining complainant companies either failed to respond to the Commission's questionnaire, or comprised individually an extremely small proportion of Community output):
- Superfos Fertilizers A/S, Denmark,
- Badische Anilin und Soda Fabrik, Federal Republic of Germany,
- Ruhrstickstoff AG Federal Republic of Germany,
- Norsk Hydro Azote, France,
- Agrimonte, SpA, Italy,
- Sociedad Anonima Cros, Spain,
- Empresa Nacional de Fertilizantes, SA, Spain,
- Imperial Chemical Industries Ltd, United Kingdom,
- Kemira INCE Ltd, United Kingdom,
- Hydro-fertilizers Ltd, United Kingdom.
The Commission visited, in the course of the investigation, other Community companies which had returned the questionnaires. Nevertheless, most of the information contained in these questionnaires had to be disregarded because the companies in question failed to provide acceptable evidence during the on-the-spot visits.
(6) The investigation period covered the year 1988 and the first two months of 1989. The trends in the relevant economic factors to determine whether the Community industry is suffering material injury were examined for the years 1985 to 1989 (February).
(7) Due to the complexity of the proceedings, in particular the difficulties met by the Commission in obtaining from some of the interested parties the relevant data, the investigation exceeded the normal period of one year.
B. INJURY
(8) In order to determine whether or not the allegedly dumped imports caused material injury to the Community industry, the Commission took into consideration the following facts:
(a) Volume, market share and price of imports
(i) Volume
(9) The alleged dumped imports into the Community of NPK fertilizers originating in Hungary, Poland, Romania and Yugoslavia evolved as follows:
Hungary 90 877 tonnes in 1985, 76 957 tonnes in 1988 and 15 124 tonnes in the first two months of 1989; Poland 11 791 tonnes in 1985, 34 065 tonnes in 1988 and 10 310 in the first two months of 1989; Romania 61 655 tonnes in 1985, 20 408 tonnes in 1988, no imports in the first two months of 1989; Yugoslavia 129 324 tonnes in 1985, 261 395 tonnes in 1988 and 109 509 tonnes in the first two months of 1989.
However, it should be stressed that the figures relating to the first two months of 1989 cannot accurately represent in isolation the trade results of a full year since the fertilizer trade is subject to seasonal fluctuations.
(ii) Consumption and market share
(10) The total Community consumption per annum of the product concerned decreased from 14 734 000 tonnes in 1985 to 13 443 000 tonnes in 1988; this corresponded in percentage terms to a decline of 8,7 %.
In terms of market share, the development as regards the exporters concerned was as follows:
Hungarian exporters: 0,6 % in 1985 and 0,58 % in 1988;
Polish exporters: 0,08 % in 1985 and 0,25 % in 1988;
Romanian exporters: 0,42 % in 1985 and 0,15 % in 1988;
Yugoslav exporters: 0,88 % in 1985 and 1,94 % in 1988.
(iii) Prices
(11) The evidence available to the Commission shows that during the investigation period the prices of the alleged dumped imports were, on a weighted average basis, lower than those charged by the community producers by about 20 %.
(b) Effect on Community industry
(i) Community production
(12) The production of the Community manufacturers concerned decreased from 8 226 295 tonnes in 1985 to 7 534 456 tonnes in 1988 (January and February 1989: 1 532 204 tonnes). This corresponded to a decline of about 8,9 %.
(ii) Sales
(13) The sales of the Community producers concerned increased from 5 446 258 tonnes in 1985 to 5 858 928 tonnes in 1988 (January and February 1989: 918 693 tonnes). This corresponds to an increase of about 7,5 %.
(iii) Production capacity and capactiy utilization
(14) The production capacity per annum decreased from 9 921 000 tonnes in 1985 to 8 242 000 tonnes in 1988 while the capacity utilization increased from 82,9 % in 1985 to 85,9 % in 1988.
(iv) Prices
(15) The sales prices of the Community producers generally decreased from 1985 to 1987 and then increased, with a few exceptions, throughout 1988 until the end of the investigation period on 28 February 1989. The overall decrease in prices from 1985 to the end of the investigation period was, on a weighted average basis, approximately 21 %.
(v) Profits
(16) With regard to profitability, it was found that, while some of the Community producers made substantial losses in the investigation period, others were able to make reasonable profits.
(c) Conclusion on injury
(17) Taking into account all the relevant economic factors, as referred to above, and in particular, the volume and prices of the imported products and the trend in Community production, the Commission has come to the conclusion that there are some indications of injury sustained by the Community producers.
C. CAUSATION OF INJURY
(18) Given the volumes of imports from Hungary, Poland and Romania as indicated in the eighth recital and the market shares in the Community represented by these quantities indicated in the ninth recital, the Commission has concluded that even if these imports were at dumped prices their contribution, if any, to the injury by the imports from these countries could o not be considered to be anything more than de minimis or not such as to be by itself a cause of material injury and accordingly should not be cumulated together or with other exports for the purposes of establishing causation.
(19) Consequently the Commission examined whether this injury, to the extent that it could be considered material, may have been caused by the imports from Yugoslavia or factors other than the alleged dumped imports.
In this context, it was found that most of the economic difficulties sustained by the Community producers were due to structural problems which the manufacturers of NPK fertilizers have been facing not only in the Community but worldwide. Indeed, the market demand for the product concerned has been declining in the last few years for several reasons, as is confirmed by the figures indicated in the ninth recital concerning the trend in Community consumption.
(20) The fall in consumption has caused over-capacity problems that have obliged the Community producers to reduce their output significantly. Another consequence has been a considerable reduction in the level of prices worldwide. This has resulted in a general decrease in price of the products sold within the Community from 1985 to 1988. This fall has amounted to 21 % as regards NPK fertilizers manufactured by the Community producers, to 24 % as regards the imports from Yugoslavia, and to 22 % as regards other imports.
(21) A further consequence of the contraction in demand of the product concerned has been the need of an urgent restructuring and rationalization of the production facilities of the Community producers. Some of these producers have reacted faster than others to this need which explains the increase in their sales and the improvement in their capacity utilization as indicated in recitals (12) and (13).
(22) Another factor examined was the volume and price of imports from countries not covered by the investigation. In this context it was found that these imports increased from 785 951 tonnes in 1985 to 893 818 tonnes in 1988 (January and February 1989: 264 840). These imports corresponded, in the investigation period, to 69 % of the overall imports into the Community while the imports from the countries covered by the investigation accounted for 31 %.
As regards the prices of the NPK fertilizers imported from countries not covered by the investigation, these declined from 1985 to 1988 by 22 %, as indicated in recital (19). This had an additional depressive effect on the Community producers sales, given the considerable volume of the imports in question.
Furthermore, in examining the prices of some of these countries, the Commission established that there was, in the investigation period, significant undercutting ranging from 5,19 to 16,23 %, as compared with the price of the like product in the Community.
(23) Having considered the above, the Commission has drawn the following conclusions:
- the contribution of the alleged dumped imports from Hungary, Poland and Romania to the injury suffered by the Community industry can be considered as de minimis;
- the alleged dumped imports from Yugoslavia, taken in isolation, have not had such effect as to cause material injury to the Community industry, within the meaning of Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, given the volume of these imports, the volume and price of other imports into the Community and the fall in consumption in the Community market for the product concerned, during the investigation period.
D. DUMPING
(24) In view of the above findings, the Commission considered it unnecessary - notwithstanding the allegation in the complaint of the existence of dumping practices during the investigation period - to further investigate the question of dumping with regard to the imports concerned.
E. WITHDRAWAL OF THE COMPLAINT
(25) After having been informed by the Commission of the above findings, the complainant decided to withdraw the complaint on the following grounds:
- as regards the companies located in Hungary, Poland and Romania, in view of the new developments in these markets;
- as regards the companies located in Yugoslavia, in view of the need for a non-discriminatory approach to the case, in spite of the concentration of the Yugoslav exports in the German market.
F. CONCLUSION
(26) Having considered the circumstances mentioned above, the proceeding should be terminated without the imposition of protective measures. This does not, of course, preclude the possibility of a new investigation being initiated if a new complaint were lodged showing evidence of changed circumstances.
The anti-dumping proceeding concerning NPK fertilizers falling within CN codes 3105 20 10 and 3105 20 90 originating in Hungary, Poland, Romania and Yugoslavia is hereby terminated. | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0.25 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 (2) lays down the procedure and conditions for the sale of cereals held by intervention agencies.
(2) New modern means of communication should be used to inform all interested parties all over the Community about sales out of intervention. This permits to authorise intervention bodies to sell by tender higher quantities without prior decision of the Commission, to take into account the market situation in their Member States. To simplify the sales for export, the mention of the storage localisation should not be required in the decision issuing invitations to the tender.
(3) In Member States which do not have sea ports, tenderers for cereals put up for sale are penalized by higher transport costs. As a result of these additional costs, cereals are more difficult to export from those Member States, which results in particular in longer intervention storage and additional costs to the Community budget. Provision should accordingly be made for the possibility in certain cases of financing the lowest transport costs between the place of storage and the place of exit in order to make tenders comparable. The Romanian port of Constanta was a traditional port of exit for the countries of Central Europe before their accession to the Union. It is therefore necessary to include Constanta as a place for the calculation of the transport costs that can be reimbursed in the case of export.
(4) In order to simplify the procedure for selling the cereals, the security accompanying the tenders for sale for export as well as on the Community market should be unified.
(5) Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 is amended as follows:
1. in Article 2 (2), ‘2 000 tonnes’ is replaced by ‘5 000 tonnes’;
2. in Article 3(1), the first sentence is replaced by the following sentence:
3. Article 7 is amended as follows:
(a) in paragraph 1, point (b) is deleted;
(b) in paragraph 2a, the following sentence is added:

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (‘the basic Regulation’),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1425/2006 (2), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the European Commission (‘the Commission’) after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE
(1) By Regulation (EC) No 1425/2006, the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports into the Union of certain plastic sacks and bags originating in, inter alia, the People’s Republic of China (‘PRC’). Given the large number of cooperating exporting producers in the investigation that led to the imposition of the anti-dumping duty (‘the original investigation’) in the PRC, a sample of Chinese exporting producers was selected and individual duty rates ranging from 4,8 % to 12,8 % were imposed on the companies included in the sample, while other cooperating companies not included in the sample were attributed a duty rate of 8,4 %. By Regulation (EC) No 249/2008 a duty rate of 4,3 % has been set for a certain company. A duty rate of 28,8 % for the PRC was imposed on companies which either did not make themselves known or did not cooperate with the investigation.
(2) Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1425/2006 stipulates that where any new exporting producer in the PRC provides sufficient evidence to the Commission that:
— it did not export to the Union the products described in Article 1(1) of that Regulation during the investigation period (1 April 2004 to 31 March 2005) (‘the investigation period’) (the first criterion),
— it is not related to any of the exporters or producers in the PRC which are subject to the anti-dumping measures imposed by that Regulation (the second criterion), and
— it has actually exported to the Union the products concerned after the investigation period on which the measures are based, or it has entered into an irrevocable contractual obligation to export a significant quantity to the Union (the third criterion),
(3) The list of companies granted the weighted average duty rate of 8,4 % for cooperating companies and contained in Regulation (EC) No 1425/2006 was amended by Council Regulations (EC) No 249/2008 (3) and (EC) No 189/2009 (4) and by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 474/2011 (5).
B. NEW EXPORTING PRODUCER REQUESTS
(4) Six Chinese companies have applied to be granted the same treatment as the companies cooperating in the original investigation not included in the sample (‘new exporting producer treatment’).
(5) An examination has been carried out to determine whether the six applicants fulfil the criteria for being granted new exporting producer treatment as set out in Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1425/2006.
(6) An application form was sent to all six applicants who were asked to supply evidence to demonstrate that they met the three criteria mentioned above.
(7) One company requesting new exporting producer treatment did not provide the requested information. It was therefore not possible to verify whether it fulfilled the criteria set out in Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1425/2006 and its request had to be rejected.
(8) One company withdrew its application.
(9) One company neither exported the product concerned to the Union nor entered into an irrevocable contractual obligation to export a significant quantity to the Union after the investigation period. Thus, it did not meet the third criterion and its request was therefore rejected.
(10) One company was not considered as a new exporting producer since it is related to an exporting producer in the PRC which is subject to the anti-dumping measures imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1425/2006. It thus did not meet the second criterion and its request was therefore rejected.
(11) One company submitted misleading information concerning its date of establishment. This cast doubts on the reliability of the information provided, including the period of time the product concerned could have been exported to the EU. Its request was therefore rejected.
(12) The evidence provided by the remaining Chinese exporting producer was considered sufficient to show that it fulfils the criteria set out in Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1425/2006. This exporting producer can therefore be granted the duty rate applicable to the cooperating companies not included in the sample (i.e. 8,4 %) and consequently its name can be added to the list of exporting producers in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1425/2006.
(13) The applicants and the Union industry have been informed of the findings of the examination and were given the opportunity to submit their comments.
(14) All arguments and submissions made by interested parties were analysed and duly taken into account where warranted,
The following company shall be added to the list of producers from the People’s Republic of China listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1425/2006:

| COUNCIL DIRECTIVE
of 21 December 1988
on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs
(89/109/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article l00a thereof,
Having regard to the Proposal from the Commission,
In cooperation with the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas Council Directive 76/893/EEC of 23 November 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs (3), as last amended by the act of Accession of Spain and Portugal (4), has been substantially amended on a number of occasions; whereas on making the new amendments to the said Directive, the opportunity should be taken to consolidate the provisions of the existing relevant texts with a view to ensuring legal clarity;
Whereas Directive 76/893/EEC was adopted on the grounds that the differences that existed at that time between the national laws relating to the aforesaid materials and articles impeded the free movement thereof, could create unequal conditions of competition and could thereby directly affect the establishment or functioning of the common market;
Whereas those laws had to be approximated if free movement was to be achieved for the aforesaid materials and articles, taking account primarily of human health requirements but also, within the limits required for the protection of health, of economic and technological needs;
Whereas the chosen method was to lay down, in the first place, in a framework directive, general principles on the basis of which legal differences between certain groups of materials and articles had been and could subsequently be
eliminated by means of specific directives; whereas this method has proved itself and should therefore be retained;
Whereas covering or coating substances, all or part of which form part of foodstuffs, could not be considered to be simply in contact with these foodstuffs: whereas, in that case, account had to be taken of possible direct consumption by consumers; whereas the rules laid down in this Directive are therefore inappropriate in such circumstances;
Whereas the principle underlying this Directive should be that any material or article intended to come into contact or which is intentionally in contact either directly or indirectly with foodstuffs, must be sufficiently stable not to transfer substances to the foodstuffs in quantities which could endanger human health or bring about an unacceptable change in the composition of the foodstuffs or a deterioration in the organoleptic properties thereof;
Whereas, in order to achieve this objective, it may prove necessary to lay down various types of limitations, alone or in combination; whereas it is appropriate to retain in specific directives those limitations which are most appropriate to the desired objective, having regard to the technological characteristics peculiar to each group of materials and articles;
Whereas, in order to allow the informed use of the materials and articles, appropriate labelling should be provided for; whereas the methods used for such labelling may vary according to the user;
Whereas this Directive does not apply to the labelling of products which, by reason of their behaviour in the presence of foodstuffs, must not be designed to come into contact or be in contact with them;
Whereas the drafting of specific directives implementing the basic principles and of amendments thereto constitute technical implementing measures; whereas, in order to simplify and expedite the procedure, the adoption of these measures should be entrusted to the Commission;
Whereas the Scientific Committee for Food, set up by Commission Decision 74/234/EEC (5), should be asked for its opinion before provisions liable to affect public health are adopted under specific directives;
Whereas it is desirable that in all cases where the Council empowers the Commission to implement rules relating to foodstuffs, provision should be made for a procedure establishing close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs set up by Council Decision 69/414/EEC (1)
1. This Directive shall apply to materials and articles which, in their finished state, are intended to be brought into contact with foodstuffs or which are brought into contact with foodstuffs and are intended for that purpose, hereinafter referred ro as 'materials and articles'.
Covering or coating substances, such as the substances convering cheese rinds, prepared meat products or fruit, which form part of foodstuffs and may be consumed together with those foodstuffs, shall not be subject to this Directive
2. This Directive shall apply to materials and articles which are in contact with water which is intended for human consumption. It shall not, however, apply to fixed public or private water supply equipment.
3. This Directive shall not apply to antiques.
Materials and articles must be manufactured in compliance with good manufacturing practice so that, under their normal or foreseeable conditions of use, they do not transfer their constituents to foodstuffs in quantities which could:
- endanger human health,
- bring about an unacceptable change in the composition of the foodstuffs or a deterioration in the organoleptic characteristics thereof.
1. The groups of materials and articles listed in Amex I and, where appropriate, combinations of these materials and articles shall be subject to specific directives.
2. The specific directives, including amendments to existing specific directives, shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 8.
3. The specific directives may include:
(a) a list of the substances the use of which is authorized to the exclusion of all others (positive list);
(b) purity standards for such substances;
(c) special conditions of use for these substances and/or the materials and articles in which they are used;
(d) specific limits on the migration of certain constituents or groups of constituents into or onto foodstuffs:
(e) an overall limit on the migration of constituents into or outo foodstuffs;
(f) if necessary, provisions aimed at protecting human health against any hazards which might arise through oral contact with materials and articles;
(g) other rules to ensure compliance with Article 2;
(h) the basic rules necessary for checking compliance with the provisions of points (d), (e), (f) and (g);
(i) detailed rles concerning sample taking and the methods of analysis required to check compliance with the provisions of points (a) to (g).
provisions liable to affect public health shall be adopted after consulting the Scientific Committee for Food. They must fulfill the criteria set out in Annex II.
1. Notwithstanding Article 3, a Member State may, where a list of substances has been drawn up in accordance with paragraph 3 (a) of that Article, authorize the use within its territory of a substance not included in the list, subject to compliance with the following conditions:
(a) the authorization must be limited to a maximum period of two years;
(b) the Member State must carry out an official check on materials and articles manufactured from a substance of which it has authorized the use;
(c) materials and articles thus manufactured must bear a distinctive indication which will be defined in the authorization.
2. The Member State shall forward to the other Member States and to the Commission the text of any authorization drawn up pursuant to paragraph 1 within two months of the date of its taking effect.
3. Before the expiry of the two-year period provided for in paragraph 1 (a), the Member State may submit to the Commission a request for the inclusion in the list referred to.
in Article 3 (3) (a) of the substance given national authorization in accordance with paragraph 1 of this Article. At the same time, it shall supply supporting documents setting out the grounds on which it deems such inclusion justified and shall indicate the uses for which this substance is ineended
Within 18 months of the submission of the request, a decision shall be taken on the basis of information relating to public health, after consulting the Scientific Committee for Food and in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 9 as to whether the substance in question may be included in the list referred to in Article 3 (a) or whether the national authorization should be revoked. If provisions prove necessary pursuant to Article 3 (3) (b), (c) and (d), these shall be adopted in accordance with the same procedure. Notwithstanding paragraph 1 (a) of this Article, the national authorization shall remain in force until a decision is taken on the request for inclusion in the list.
Should it be decided pursuant to the preceding subparagraph that the national authorization should be revoked, this decision shall apply to any other national authorization in respect of the substance in question. The decision may stipulate that the ban on the use of this substance shall extend to uses other than those referred to in the request for inclusion in the list.
1. Where a Member State, as a result of new information or of a reassessment of existing information made since one of the specific directives was adopted, has detailed grounds for establishing that the use of a material or article endangers human health although it complies with the relevant specific directive, that Member State may temporarily suspend or restrict application of the provisions in question within its territory. It shall immediately inform the other Member States and the Commission thereof and give reasons for its decision
2. The Commission shall examine as soon as possible within the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs the grounds adduced by the Member State referred to in Paragraph 1 and shall deliver its opinion without delay and take the appropriate measures.
3. If the Commission considers that amendments to the specific directives in question are necessary in order to remedy the difficulties mentioned in paragraph 1 and to ensure the protection of human health, it shall initiate the procedure laid down in Article 9 with a view to adopting those amendments; the Member State which has adopted safeguard measures may in that event retain them until the amendments have been adopted.
1. Without prejudice to any exceptions provided for in the specific directives, materials and articles not already in contact with foodstuffs must, when placed on the market, be accompanied by:
(a) - the words 'for food use',
- or a specific indication as to their use, such as coffee-machine, wine bottle, soup spoon,

- or the registered trade mark,
of the manufacturer or processor, or of a seller established within the Community.
2. The particulars listed in paragraph 1 must be conspicuous, clearly legible and indelible:
(a) at the retail stage:
- on the materials and articles or on the packaging,
- or on labels affixed to the materials and articles or to their packaging,
- or on a notice in the immediate vicinity of the materials and articles and clearly visible to purchasers; in the case mentioned in paragraph 1 (e), however, the latter option shall only be open if these particulars or a label bearing them cannot, for technical reasons, be affixed to the said materials and articles at either the manufacturing or the marketing stage;
(b) at the marketing stages other than the retail stage:
- on the accompanying documents,
- on the labels or packaging,
- or on the materials and articles themselves.
3. However, the particulars provided for in paragraph 1 shall not be compulsory for materials and articles which by their nature are clearly intended to come into contact with foodstuffs.
4. The particulars provided for in paragraph 1 (a) and (b) shall be confined to materials and articles which comply:
(a) with the criteria laid down in Article 2;
(b) with the specific directives, in the absence of such directives, with any national provisions.
5. The specific directives shall require that such materials and articles be accompanied by a written declaration attesting that they comply with the rules applicable to them.
In the absence of specific directives, Member States may retain existing provisions or adopt provisions to this effect.
6. Member States shall ensure that retail trade in materials and articles is prohibited if the particulars required under paragraph 1 (a) and (b) are not given in a language easily understood by purchasers, unless the purchaser is informed by other means. This provision shall not preclude such particulars appearing in several languages.
1. Member States shall not, for reasons relating to composition, behaviour in the presence of foodstuffs or labelling, prohibit or restrict either trade in or the use of materials and articles complying with this Directive or with the specific directives.
2. Paragraph 1 shall not affect national provisions which are applicable in the absence of the specific directives.
Amendments made to existing specific directives in order to bring them into line with this Directive shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 9.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/402/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of cereal seed (1), and in particular Article 17(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In the Netherlands the quantity of available seed of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum) of the category ‘certified seed’ belonging to the varieties Baldus, Granny, KWS Aurum, Lavett, Minaret, Pasteur, Taifun, Thasos, Trappe, Tybalt and Zirrus which is suitable for the national environmental conditions and which satisfies the requirements of Directive 66/402/EEC related to field inspections is insufficient and is therefore not adequate to meet the needs of that Member State.
(2) The demand for such seed cannot be satisfied by seed from other Member States or from third countries fulfilling all the requirements laid down in Directive 66/402/EEC.
(3) Consequently, the Netherlands should be authorised to permit the marketing of seed of those varieties subject to less stringent requirements than apply to certified seed, for a period expiring on 30 April 2011 and up to a maximum quantity of 330 tonnes.
(4) In addition, other Member States which are in a position to supply the Netherlands with seed of those varieties, irrespective of whether it was harvested in a Member State or in a third country, should be authorised to permit the marketing of such seed.
(5) It is appropriate that the Netherlands act as a coordinator in order to ensure that the total amount of seed authorised pursuant to this Decision does not exceed the maximum quantity covered by this Decision.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
1. The marketing in the Union of seed of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum) of the category ‘certified seed’ belonging to the varieties Baldus, Granny, KWS Aurum, Lavett, Minaret, Pasteur, Taifun, Thasos, Trappe, Tybalt and Zirrus which does not satisfy the requirements of point 7 of Annex I to Directive 66/402/EEC in respect of field inspections shall be permitted.
This permission shall be granted for a total quantity of up to 330 tonnes and for a period ending on 30 April 2011.
2. In addition to fulfilling the labelling requirements of Directive 66/402/EEC, the official label shall state that the seed does not satisfy the requirements of point 7 of Annex I to that Directive in respect of field inspections.
1. Any supplier wishing to place on the market seed, as referred to in Article 1, shall apply for authorisation to the Member State in which it is established or importing. The application shall specify the quantity of seed that the supplier wishes to place on the market.
2. The Member State concerned shall authorise the supplier, in accordance with Article 1, to place on the market the seed unless:
(a) there is sufficient evidence to doubt whether the supplier is able to place on the market the amount of the seed for which he has applied for authorisation; or
(b) having regard to the information provided by the coordinating Member State, as referred to in the third subparagraph of Article 3, granting the authorisation would result in the total maximum quantity of seed referred to in Article 1(1) being exceeded.
As regard point (b), in case the total maximum quantity would only allow for authorisation of part of the quantity specified in the application, the Member State concerned may authorise the supplier to place that lesser quantity on the market.
Member States shall assist each other administratively in the application of this Decision.
The Netherlands shall act as coordinating Member State in order to ensure that the quantity of seed authorised for marketing in the Union by the Member States pursuant to this Decision does not exceed the total maximum quantity of seed referred to in Article 1(1).
Any Member State receiving an application under Article 2 shall immediately notify the coordinating Member State of the amount covered by the application. The coordinating Member State shall immediately inform that Member State as to whether authorisation would result in the maximum quantity being exceeded.
Member States shall immediately notify to the Commission and the other Member States the quantities in respect of which they have granted marketing authorisation pursuant to this Decision.
This Decision shall expire on 30 April 2011.

Whereas Article 6 of Commission Regulations (EEC) No 388/92 (7), (EEC) No 1727/92 (8) and (EEC) No 1728/92 (9), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1727/93 (10), provides for the adjustment of the amount of aid granted on the basis of the difference in the threshold price of the cereal in question between the month in which aid certificates are applied for and the month in which each entry on the certificate has been made; whereas the entry on the certificate is made in accordance with Article 3 (6) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 131/92 (11), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1707/93 (12), as regards the French overseas departments and in accordance with Article 4 (7) of Commission Regulations (EEC) No 1695/92 (13) and (EEC) No 1696/92 (14), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1707/93, as regards the Canary Islands and the Azores and Madeira respectively; whereas the entry on the 'aid' certificate is made at the destination by the local authorities on presentation of the products to which it refers;
Whereas there is a significant reduction in common prices for maize and sorghum with effect from the 1993/94 marketing year; whereas as a result of the time needed for consignments to reach the French overseas departments, the Azores, Madeira and the Canary Islands from the continental part of the Community, this adjustment is likely to penalize operators having supply commitments with either maize or sorghum at the end of the marketing year; whereas it is therefore vital to derogate from these provisions in order to facilitate the transition from the 1992/93 to the 1993/94 marketing year;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The adjustment provided for in Article 6 of Regulations (EEC) No 388/92, (EEC) No 1727/92 and (EEC) No 1728/92 shall not apply if the operator provides proof to the satisfaction of the competent authorities in the destination region that the maize or the sorghum presented for entry on the aid certificate was issued prior to 1 October 1993.
Proof shall be provided by the bill of lading or another transport document presenting sufficient guarantee, duly drawn up at the time of dispatch.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC(1), as last amended by Directive 96/43/EC(2), and in particular Article 18(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Avian influenza is an infectious viral disease in poultry and birds, causing mortality and disturbances which can quickly take epizootic proportions liable to present a serious threat to animal and public health and to reduce sharply the profitability of poultry farming.
(2) Avian influenza has been confirmed in several Asian countries including Cambodia, Japan, Laos, Pakistan, the People's Republic of China, including the territory of Hong Kong, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam.
(3) In Indonesia the disease situation in relation to avian influenza is unclear.
(4) The importation of live poultry and hatching eggs from any of these countries is not authorised.
(5) Imports of fresh meat of poultry, ratites, wild and farmed feathered game, poultrymeat preparations and poultrymeat products, meat preparations and raw material for pet food production consisting of or containing meat of the beforementioned species, and of eggs for human consumption from Thailand to the Community have been suspended by Commission Decision 2004/84/EC(3) and imports of these goods are not authorised from any of the other abovementioned countries.
(6) In accordance to Commission Decision 2000/666/EC(4) importation of birds other than poultry is authorised from all member countries of the OIE (World Organisation for Animal Health) and subject to animal health guarantees provided by the country of origin and to strict post-import quarantine measures in the Member States, thus preventing the possible introduction of poultry diseases into Community poultry flocks.
(7) However, given the exceptional disease situation in several Asian countries and the potential serious consequences related to the specific avian influenza virus strains involved, as an additional precautionary measure, the importation of birds other than poultry, and also of pet birds accompanying their owner into the European Union from Cambodia, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Pakistan, the People's Republic of China including the territory of Hong Kong, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam should be suspended in order to exclude any possible risk for disease occurrence in quarantine stations under the authority of the Member States.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Member States shall immediately suspend the importation of "live birds other than poultry" as defined in Commission Decision 2000/666/EC from Cambodia, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Pakistan, the People's Republic of China including the territory of Hong Kong, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam, including birds accompanying their owners (pet birds).
Member States shall amend the measures they apply to trade in order to bring them into line with this Decision and shall give immediate appropriate publicity to the measures adopted. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.

| COMMISSION DECISION of 1 July 1997 terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain luggage and travel goods originating in the People's Republic of China (97/412/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2331/96 (2), and in particular Articles 9, 17 (4) and 18 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
1. Initiation
(1) In March 1996, the Commission received a complaint concerning alleged injurious dumping caused by imports of certain luggage and travel goods originating in the People's Republic of China.
The complaint was lodged by Cedim (ComitĂŠ EuropĂŠen des Industries de la Maroquinerie) on behalf of Community producers of the product in question, whose collective output was alleged to represent a major proportion of Community production of suitcases, travelling bags and sports bags.
The complaint contained evidence of dumping by the imports concerned and of material injury resulting therefrom which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding.
(2) The Commission, after consultation, accordingly announced by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (3) the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding with regard to the imports of suitcases, travelling bags and sports bags falling within CN codes ex 4202 12 19, ex 4202 12 99, ex 4202 92 11 and ex 4202 92 91 and commenced an investigation.
2. Investigation
2.1. Written submissions and hearings
(3) The Commission officially informed the exporters and importers known to be concerned, the representatives of the exporting country and the complainant Community producers. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set out in the notice of initiation.
(4) A number of producers in the country concerned as well as Community producers and importers made their views known in writing. All parties who so requested within the above time limit were granted a hearing.
2.2. Sampling of Community producers
(5) In view of the large number of Community producers manufacturing the product concerned in the Community and supporting the complaint, and in conformity with Article 17 (1) of Council Regulation No 384/96 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Basic Regulation`), it was considered appropriate to limit the investigation to a sample of producers which could reasonably be investigated within the time available. In a first step, four Member States - France, Italy, Spain and Portugal - whose production represented a large majority of Community production of suitcases, travelling bags and sports bags were found to be representative of the whole Community market. In a second step, three producers located in each of these Member States were sampled according to their size, constituting a representative spread of production and employment. The sampled companies were selected from a list of manufacturers of the product concerned, whose turnover was considered representative for that country, submitted by the respective National Associations. The Community producers thus sampled were sent questionnaires.
(6) Parties concerned who, following the notice of initiation, had expressed their wish to be consulted by the Commission on the final selection of the sample, were thus given disclosure of the sampled companies and of the methodology used for their selection. None of these objected to this selection.
(7) In this context, after this disclosure, the Commission received notice of actual threats of commercial retaliation against some of the sampled Community producers by some of their customers, who are also importers and major retailers in the Community. Certain sampled Community producers were subjected to severe commercial pressure at an advanced stage of the investigation in an effort to persuade them to withdraw their support for the complaint. It was therefore considered appropriate not to make any further disclosure of the names of these companies.
2.3. Investigation period
(8) The period of investigation for the determination of dumping was 1 April 1995 to 31 March 1996 (hereinafter referred to as 'the investigation period`). The examination of injury covers the period January 1992 to the end of the investigation period.
B. COMMUNITY INDUSTRY
(9) After the initial definition of the sample of Community producers, the representativity of this sample has been seriously affected by the following facts:
- Concerning Italy, one company selected for the sample refused to cooperate and even withdrew its support for the complaint for the reason that imports from the People's Republic of China constitute the core of its business at present. Another company selected had only restarted production in December 1995, after an interruption of production for over one year. In order to remain in the business, sales of this company during the investigation period were, however, made at unrepresentative prices.
For another Italian sampled company the product under investigation was unrepresentative of the total activities of the company, covering only 1 % of its total turnover. In addition, of the three lines it sold, one is imported from the People's Republic of China representing a substantial part of the turnover for the product concerned for that company.
- Concerning France, one company manufactured only travelling bags and not suitcases.
- Another company selected for France only manufactured and sold a negligible amount of travelling bags in the investigation period, while it did not manufacture suitcases. In addition, most of the luggage and travel goods sold by this company are imported from the People's Republic of China.
- For Portugal one of the companies selected communicated its unavailability to complete the questionnaire, despite being granted an extension for completing it.
(10) It thus follows that the sample initially selected became unrepresentative. Efforts were made by the Commission and by the National Associations concerned to select a new sample, as provided for in Article 17 (4) of the Basic Regulation. However, contacts with other companies provided in the lists submitted by the National Associations concerned proved unsuccessful in this regard.
(11) Faced with this degree of non-cooperation on the part of the Community producers selected for the sample, it cannot be reasonably concluded that any data compiled from the cooperating companies in any way reflects the situation of the entire industry.
C. TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING
(12) In view of the above lack of cooperation from the Community producers manufacturing the product concerned, the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain luggage and travel goods originating in the People's Republic of China should be terminated.
(13) Interested parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which the Commission intended to terminate the proceeding and were given the opportunity to comment. No information was received indicating that such termination would not be in the Community interest.
(14) The Advisory Committee has been consulted and raised no objection.
(15) In the light of the above, the Commission, in accordance with Article 9 of the Basic Regulation, concludes that protective measures are unnecessary and that the proceeding should be terminated,
The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain luggage and travel goods, falling within CN codes ex 4202 12 19, ex 4202 12 99, ex 4202 92 11, ex 4202 92 91 originating in the People's Republic of China is hereby terminated. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas, in the light of the studies carried out, it is necessary to replace by a more appropriate method the method of analysis laid down for the determination of starch as applied to soya protein concentrates and in goods containing such products;
Whereas the method set out in the Annex is more reliable;
Whereas it is desirable to change certain chemical names;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Common Customs Tariff Nomenclature,
Regulation (EEC) No 1061/69 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 1 is replaced by the following:
'Article 1
1. Where classification of goods referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 3033/80 under one or other of the subheadings of the Common Customs Tariff depends on the starch content by weight, such content shall be determined by reference to the quantity of starch in the anhydrous state contained in such goods.
2. The starch content by weight of soya protein concentrates and of goods containing such products shall be ascertained by the enzymatic method set out in Annex V.
3. The starch content by weight of goods other than those referred to in paragraph 2 shall be ascertained by the modified Ewers method set out in the first chapter of Annex I to the third Commission Directive 72/199/EEC (1).
However, where the goods in question contain starches other than native starches but do not also contain sucrose or invert sugar, the starch content by weight of such goods shall be ascertained by the saccharification method set out in Annex I to the abovementioned Directive.
For the purposes of implementing this paragraph, dextrines shall be treated as starches other than native starches.

'DETERMINATION OF THE D-MANNITOL CONTENT OF GOODS FALLING WITHIN SUBHEADINGS 29.04 C III AND 38.19 T OF THE COMMON CUSTOMS TARIFF, CALCULATED ON THE D-GLUCITOL CONTENT';
(b) Paragraph I is replaced by the following:
'I. Principle
Gas chromatography is used to determine the D-mannitol content of goods falling within subheadings 29.04 C III and 38.19 T of the Common Customs Tariff, calculated on their D-glucitol content. For that purpose, non-volatile products must first be processed into their acetylated derivatives.';
(c) Paragraph III (b) is replaced by the following:

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 24 January 2014
authorising methods for grading pig carcases in Italy
(notified under document C(2014) 279)
(Only the Italian text is authentic)
(2014/38/EU)
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 43(m), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Point 1 of Section B.IV of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that, for the classification of pig carcases, the lean-meat content has to be assessed by means of grading methods authorised by the Commission, which methods may only be statistically proven assessment methods based on the physical measurement of one or more anatomical parts of the pig carcase. The authorisation of grading methods is subject to compliance with a maximum tolerance for statistical error in assessment. That tolerance is defined in Article 23(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1249/2008 (2).
(2) By Commission Decision 2001/468/EC (3), the use of two methods for grading pig carcases in Italy was authorised.
(3) As the authorised grading methods needed technical adaptation Italy has requested the Commission to authorise the replacement of the formula used in the ‘Fat-O-Meater’ and ‘Hennessy Grading Probe 7’ methods, as well as to authorise the four new methods ‘AutoFom III’, ‘Fat-O-Meat’er II’, ‘CSB-Image-Meater’ and ‘Manual method ZP’ for grading pig carcases on its territory. Italy has presented a detailed description of the dissection trial, indicating the principles on which the new formula are based, the result of its dissection trial and the equations used for assessing the percentage of lean meat in the protocol provided for in Article 23(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1249/2008.
(4) Examination of that request has revealed that the conditions for authorising those new formulae are fulfilled. Those formulae should therefore be authorised in Italy.
(5) Italy has requested the Commission to be authorised to provide for a presentation of pig carcases different from the standard presentation laid down in the first paragraph of Section B.III of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
(6) In accordance with the second paragraph of Section B.III of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, Member States may be authorised to provide for a presentation of pig carcases different from the standard presentation defined in the first paragraph of that point, where normal commercial practice in their territory differs from that standard presentation. In its request, Italy specified that in its territory it is commercial practice that carcases can be presented without the diaphragm and flare fat having been removed before being weighed and graded. This presentation that differs from the standard presentation should therefore be authorised in Italy.
(7) In order to establish quotations for pig carcases on a comparable basis, this different presentation should be taken into account by adjusting the weight recorded in such cases in relation to the weight for standard presentation.
(8) For reasons of clarity and legal certainty, a new decision should be adopted. Decision 2001/468/EC should therefore be repealed.
(9) Modifications of the apparatuses or grading methods should not be allowed, unless they are explicitly authorised by Commission Implementing Decision.
(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of the Agricultural Markets,
The use of the following methods is authorised for grading pig carcases pursuant to point 1 of Section B.IV of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 in Italy:
(a) the ‘Fat-O-Meater I (FOM I)’ apparatus and the assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part I of the Annex;
(b) the ‘Hennessy Grading Probe 7 (HGP 7)’ apparatus and the assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part II of the Annex;
(c) the ‘Fat-O-Meat’er II (FOM II)’ apparatus and the assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part III of the Annex;
(d) the ‘AutoFom III’ apparatus and the assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part IV of the Annex;
(e) the ‘CSB-Image-Meater’ apparatus and the assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part V of the Annex;
(f) the ‘Manual method ZP’ apparatus and the assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part VI of the Annex.
Notwithstanding the standard presentation laid down in the first paragraph of Section B.III of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, pig carcases in Italy may be presented without the diaphragm and flare fat having been removed before being weighed and graded. In the case of such presentation the recorded hot carcase weight shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula:
where:
Y = carcase weight as defined by Regulation (EC) No 1249/2008
X = warm carcase weight with flare fat and diaphragm
a = sum of flare fat and diaphragm (%)
— for diaphragm, equivalent to 0,29 % (carcase weight from 110,1 to 180 kg) and to 0,26 % (carcase weight from 70 to 110 kg),
— for flare fat, equivalent to:
— 0,99 % (carcase weight from 70 to 80,0 kg),
— 1,29 % (carcase weight from 80,1 to 90,0 kg),
— 1,52 % (carcase weight from 90,1 to 100,0 kg),
— 2,05 % (carcase weight from 100,1 to 110 kg),
— 2,52 % (carcase weight from 110,1 to 130 kg),
— 2,62 % (carcase weight from 130,1 to 140 kg),
— 2,83 % (carcase weight from 140,1 to 150 kg),
— 2,96 % (carcase weight from 150,1 to 180 kg).
Modifications of the authorised apparatus or grading methods shall not be allowed, unless those modifications are explicitly authorised by Commission Implementing Decision.
Decision 2001/468/EC is repealed.
This Decision shall apply from 1 January 2014.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the recommendation from the Commission,
Whereas Austria, invoking Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on tariffs and trade (GATT), has notified the Contracting Parties to GATT of its intention to withdraw the tariff concessions which it had bound for certain types of cheese;

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to 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 (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2081/93 (2), and in particular Article 12 (4) thereof,
Whereas, after the appropriations to be used for financing the measures undertaken on the initiative of the Commission and those provided for in Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2080/93 of 20 July 1993 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the financial instruments of fisheries guidance (3) have been deducted, the funds available for commitment from the Structural Funds, expressed in 1994 prices, amount to ECU 819,2 million for the period 1994 to 1999 for Objective 5 (a) (fisheries structures);
Whereas, in the absence of the sectoral plans provided for in Article 3 of Council Regulation (EC) No 3699/93 of 21 December 1993 laying down the criteria and arrangements regarding Community structural assistance in the fisheries and aquaculture sector and the processing and marketing of its products (4), the Commission is still not in a position to make an accurate assessment of the specific structural needs of fisheries as they are perceived, in accordance with Article 12 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88; whereas at this stage in the procedure, only 90 % of the funds available should accordingly be allocated to the Member States,
For the period 1994 to 1999 the indicative breakdown between the Member States of the commitment appropriations for Objective 5 (a) (fisheries structures) shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
The balance, i.e. ECU 81,9 million at 1994 prices, shall be allocated to the Member States at a later date, prior to the formal approval of the Community programmes of structural measures for fisheries provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 3699/93.

of 12 March 1985
on increasing the staff of the departments responsible for quality control of agricultural products in Greece
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 42 and 43 thereof,
Having regard to the 1979 Act of Accession, and in particular paragraph 9 of Protocol 4 on cotton,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas the common organizations of agricultural markets and the rules on cotton make the national authorities responsible for carrying out a large number of controls on the quality of produce marketed or offered for intervention;
Whereas experience has shown that in some fields the Greek authorities do not have enough staff to carry out such controls satisfactorily; whereas this situation is not conducive to applying the Community rules correctly or to obtaining a better return on Greek products;
Whereas, in order to remedy this situation, the Community should encourage an increase in the staff of the Greek departments responsible for quality control by bearing, for a limited period and on a degressive basis, part of the costs incurred in recruiting and training additional staff,
For a five-year period beginning on 15 March 1985, the Community shall bear 80 % in the first year, 60 % in the second year, 50 % in the third year, 40 % in the fourth year and 20 % in the fifth year of the expenditure incurred by Greece in remunerating and training staff recruited as from that date in order to increase the work force of the departments responsible for checking:
- compliance with the common quality or marketing standards for agricultural products marketed on Greek territory, withdrawn from the market or consigned outside Greek territory,
- compliance with the minimum quality standards laid down for agricultural produce offered for intervention,
- compliance with the Community veterinary Directives,
- compliance with the health and quality rules applying to production of milk and milk products in Greece,
- the quality classification of cotton delivered for ginning.
1. The Community financial contribution shall be confined to expenditure on remunerating and training:
(a) 125 inspectors responsible for checking compliance with the common quality or marketing standards, particularly in the case of fruit and vegetables marketed on Greek territory or withdrawn from the market;
(b) 80 inspectors responsible for checking compliance with the quality standards for products offered for intervention;
(c) 100 inspectors responsible for checking the application of the Community veterinary Directives;
(d) 20 inspectors responsible for checking compliance with the health and quality rules applying to production of milk and milk products in Greece;
(e) 30 inspectors responsible for checking the quality classification of cotton delivered for ginning.
For the purposes of this Regulation the inspectors' remuneration means their salaries and the travel expenses necessary for the discharge of their duties.
1. The inspectors' training must enable them to acquire sufficient knowledge for the performance of their duties.
2. The basic courses must comprise at least three months of theoretical and practical training.
The annual amount of expenditure borne by the Community shall be fixed by the Commission on the basis of information supplied by Greece.
Detailed rules for the application of this Regulation shall be adopted, where necessary, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 26 of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 (1) or, as appropriate, in the corresponding Articles of the other Regulations on the common organization of agricultural markets.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), and in particular points 16.2, 16.3 and 16.4 of Section I of Part A of Annex IV thereto,
Whereas:
(1) By Commission Decision 2006/473/EC of 5 July 2006 recognising certain third countries and certain areas of third countries as being free from Xanthomonas campestris (all strains pathogenic to Citrus), Cercospora angolensis Carv. et Mendes and Guignardia citricarpa Kiely (all strains pathogenic to Citrus) (2) certain third countries and certain areas of third countries are recognised as being free from these harmful organisms.
(2) Decision 2006/473/EC recognises Bangladesh as being free from Cercospora angolensis Carv. et Mendes and Guignardia citricarpa Kiely (all strains pathogenic to Citrus). On the basis of the audit carried out in Bangladesh by the Food and Veterinary Office in June 2010 and in February 2013 it appears that Bangladesh should no longer be recognised as being free from these harmful organisms.
(3) Decision 2006/473/EC recognises certain States of Brazil as being free from Xanthomonas campestris (all strains pathogenic to Citrus) and certain States of Brazil as being free from Guignardia citricarpa Kiely (all strains pathogenic to Citrus). However, on the basis of information submitted by Brazil and the audit carried out in Brazil by the Food and Veterinary Office in November 2011, the States of Maranhão, Mato Grosso and Roraima and the States of Amazonas, Bahia, Espírito Santo, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Paraná and Santa Catarina should no longer be recognised as being free from these harmful organisms respectively.
(4) Decision 2006/473/EC recognises Ghana as being free from Cercospora angolensis Carv. et Mendes and Guignardia citricarpa Kiely (all strains pathogenic to Citrus). On the basis of the audit carried out in Ghana by the Food and Veterinary Office in April-May 2012, it appears that Ghana should no longer be recognised as being free from these harmful organisms.
(5) Decision 2006/473/EC recognises the United States as being free from Guignardia citricarpa Kiely (all strains pathogenic to Citrus). However, on the basis of the information submitted by the United States, the counties of Collier, Hendry and Polk located in the State of Florida should no longer be recognised as being free from the mentioned harmful organism.
(6) Decision 2006/473/EC also recognises Sudan as a third country being free from Xanthomonas campestris pathogenic to Citrus. In 2011 South Sudan became an independent nation-state. Consequently, South Sudan should be listed in that Decision as a third country being free from Xanthomonas campestris pathogenic to Citrus.
(7) Decision 2006/473/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Decision 2006/473/EC is amended as follows:
(1) Article 1 is amended as follows:
(a) in paragraph 1, point (b) is replaced by the following:
‘(b) Africa: South Africa, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Sudan, South Sudan, Swaziland and Zimbabwe;’;
(b) in paragraph 2, point (b) is replaced by the following:
‘(b) Brazil, except the States of Maranhão, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Paraná, Rio Grande do Sul, Roraima, Santa Catarina and São Paulo;’;
(2) in Article 2, points (a) and (b) are replaced by the following:
‘(a) all citrus-growing third countries in North, Central and South America, the Caribbean, Asia, except Bangladesh and Yemen, Europe and Oceania;
(b) all citrus-growing third countries in Africa, except Angola, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.’;
(3) Article 3 is amended as follows:
(a) in paragraph 1, points (a), (b) and (c) are replaced by the following:
‘(a) all citrus-growing third countries in North, Central and South America, except Argentina, Brazil and the United States, the Caribbean and Europe;
(b) all citrus-growing third countries in Asia, except Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, Indonesia, Philippines and Taiwan;
(c) all citrus-growing third countries in Africa, except South Africa, Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe;’;
(b) in paragraph 2, point (d) is replaced by the following:
‘(d) Brazil: all areas except the States of Amazonas, Bahia, Espírito Santo, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina and São Paulo.’;
(c) in paragraph 2, the following point (e) is added:
‘(e) the United States: all areas except counties of Collier, Hendry and Polk located in the State of Florida.’

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 973/2012
of 22 October 2012
initiating an investigation concerning the possible circumvention of anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 925/2009 on imports of certain aluminium foil originating in the People’s Republic of China by imports of certain aluminium foil in rolls which are not annealed and of a width exceeding 650 mm originating in the People’s Republic of China, and making such imports subject to registration
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (the basic Regulation) and in particular Articles 13(3) and 14(5) thereof,
After having consulted the Advisory Committee in accordance with Articles 13(3) and 14(5) of the basic Regulation,
Whereas:
A. REQUEST
(1) The European Commission (the Commission) has received a request pursuant to Articles 13(3) and 14(5) of the basic Regulation to investigate the possible circumvention of the anti-dumping measures imposed on certain aluminium foil originating in the People’s Republic of China and to make imports of certain aluminium foil in rolls which are not annealed and of a width exceeding 650 mm originating in the People’s Republic of China subject to registration.
(2) The request was lodged on 24 September 2012 by Symetal SA, Eurofoil Luxembourg SA, Alcomet and Hydro Aluminium Rolled Products GmbH, four Union producers of aluminium foil.
B. PRODUCT
(3) The product concerned by the possible circumvention is aluminium foil of a thickness of not less than 0,008 mm and not more than 0,018 mm, not backed, not further worked than rolled, in rolls of a width not exceeding 650 mm and of a weight exceeding 10 kg and currently falling within CN code 7607 11 19 (TARIC code 7607111910), originating in the People’s Republic of China (the product concerned).
(4) The product under investigation is the same as that defined in the previous recital, but presented at import in rolls which are not annealed and of a width exceeding 650 mm, currently falling within the same CN code as the product concerned but falling within a different TARIC code (i.e. 7607111990 until the entry into force of this Regulation) and originating in the People’s Republic of China (the product under investigation).
C. EXISTING MEASURES
(5) The measures currently in force and possibly being circumvented are anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 925/2009 (2) imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain aluminium foil originating, inter alia, in the People’s Republic of China.
D. GROUNDS
(6) The request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the existing measures described in recital 5 are being circumvented by means of imports of the product under investigation and its subsequent conversion into the product concerned.
(7) The prima facie evidence submitted is as follows:
(8) The request shows that a significant change in the pattern of trade involving exports from the People’s Republic of China to the Union has taken place following the imposition of the definitive anti-dumping duty on the product concerned imposed by Regulation (EC) No 925/2009, without sufficient due cause or justification for such a change other than the imposition of the duty.
(9) This change appears to stem from the importation of the slightly modified product concerned which is then converted in the Union into the product concerned.
(10) Furthermore, the request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the remedial effects of the existing anti-dumping measures on the product concerned are being undermined both in terms of quantity and price. Significant volumes of imports of the product under investigation appear to have replaced imports of the product concerned. In addition, there is sufficient evidence that imports of the product under investigation are made at prices below the non-injurious price established in the investigation that led to the existing measures.
(11) Finally, the request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the prices of the product under investigation after conversion are dumped in relation to the normal value previously established for the product concerned.
(12) Should circumvention practices covered by Article 13 of the basic Regulation, other than the one mentioned above, be identified in the course of the investigation, the investigation may also cover these practices.
E. PROCEDURE
(13) In light of the above, the Commission has concluded that sufficient evidence exists to justify the initiation of an investigation pursuant to Article 13(3) of the basic Regulation and to make imports of the product under investigation subject to registration, in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation.
(a) Questionnaires
(14) In order to obtain information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send questionnaires to the known exporters/producers and to the known associations of exporters/producers in the People’s Republic of China, to the known importers and to the known associations of importers in the Union and to the authorities of the People’s Republic of China. Information, as appropriate, may also be sought from the Union industry.
(15) In any event, all interested parties should contact the Commission forthwith, but not later than the time limit set in Article 3 of this Regulation, and request a questionnaire within the time limit set in Article 3(1) of this Regulation, given that the time limit set in Article 3(2) of this Regulation applies to all interested parties.
(16) The authorities of the People’s Republic of China will be notified of the initiation of the investigation.
(b) Collection of information and holding of hearings
(17) All interested parties are hereby invited to make their views known in writing and to provide supporting evidence. Furthermore, the Commission may hear interested parties, provided that they make a request in writing and show that there are particular reasons why they should be heard.
(c) Exemption from registration of imports or measures
(18) In accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product under investigation may be exempted from registration or measures if the importation does not constitute circumvention.
(19) While the extent to which the possible circumvention is taking place inside and/or outside the Union needs to be investigated, exemptions may be granted, in accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation, to importers and/or exporters of the product under investigation that can show that they are not related (3) to any producer subject to the measures (4) and that they can show that they are not engaged in circumvention practices. Importers and exporters wishing to obtain an exemption should submit a request duly supported by evidence within the time limit indicated in Article 3(3) of this Regulation.
F. REGISTRATION
(20) Pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product under investigation shall be made subject to registration in order to ensure that, should the investigation result in findings of circumvention, anti-dumping duties of an appropriate amount can be levied from the date on which registration of such imports was imposed.
G. TIME LIMITS
(21) In the interest of sound administration, time limits should be stated within which:
— interested parties may make themselves known to the Commission, present their views in writing and submit questionnaire replies or any other information to be taken into account during the investigation,
— importers in the Union and exporters may request exemption from registration of imports or measures,
— interested parties may make a written request to be heard by the Commission.
(22) Attention is drawn to the fact that the exercise of most procedural rights set out in the basic Regulation depends on the party’s making itself known within the time limits laid down in Article 3 of this Regulation.
H. NON-COOPERATION
(23) In cases in which any interested party refuses access to or does not provide the necessary information within the time limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, on the basis of the facts available.
(24) Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information shall be disregarded and use may be made of facts available.
(25) If an interested party does not cooperate or cooperates only partially and findings are therefore based on the facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, the result may be less favourable to that party than if it had cooperated.
I. SCHEDULE OF THE INVESTIGATION
(26) The investigation will be concluded, pursuant to Article 13(3) of the basic Regulation, within nine months of the date of the publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union.
J. PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA
(27) It is noted that any personal data collected in this investigation will be treated in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (5).
K. HEARING OFFICER
(28) Interested parties may request the intervention of the Hearing Officer of the Directorate-General for Trade. The Hearing Officer acts as an interface between the interested parties and the Commission investigation services. The Hearing Officer reviews requests for access to the file, disputes regarding the confidentiality of documents, requests for extension of time limits and requests by third parties to be heard. The Hearing Officer may organise a hearing with an individual interested party and mediate to ensure that the interested parties’ rights of defence are being fully exercised.
(29) A request for a hearing with the Hearing Officer should be made in writing and should specify the reasons for the request. The Hearing Officer will also provide opportunities for a hearing involving parties to take place which would allow different views to be presented and rebuttal arguments offered.
(30) For further information and contact details interested parties may consult the Hearing Officer’s web pages on the Directorate-General for Trade’s website: http://ec.europa.eu/trade/tackling-unfair-trade/hearing-officer/index_en.htm,
An investigation is hereby initiated pursuant to Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009, in order to determine if imports into the Union of aluminium foil of a thickness of not less than 0,008 mm and not more than 0,018 mm, not backed, not further worked than rolled, in rolls which are not annealed, of a width exceeding 650 mm and of a weight exceeding 10 kg and currently falling within CN code ex 7607 11 19 (TARIC code 7607111920), originating in the People’s Republic of China, are circumventing the measures imposed by Regulation (EC) No 925/2009.
The Customs authorities shall, pursuant to Article 13(3) and Article 14(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009, take the appropriate steps to register the imports into the Union identified in Article 1 of this Regulation.
Registration shall expire nine months following the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
The Commission, by regulation, may direct Customs authorities to cease registration in respect of imports into the Union of products either manufactured by producers or imported by importers having applied for an exemption from registration and having been found to fulfil the conditions for an exemption to be granted.
Questionnaires must be requested from the Commission within 15 days from publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Interested parties, if their representations are to be taken into account during the investigation, must make themselves known by contacting the Commission, present their views in writing and submit questionnaire replies or any other information within 37 days from the date of the publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified.
Importers in the Union and producers requesting exemption from registration of imports or measures must submit a request duly supported by evidence within the same 37-day time limit.
Interested parties may also apply to be heard by the Commission within the same 37-day time limit.
Interested parties are required to make all submissions and requests in electronic format (non-confidential submissions via e-mail, confidential ones on CD-R/DVD), and must indicate their name, address, e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers. However, any Powers of Attorney, signed certifications, and any updates thereof, accompanying questionnaire replies must be submitted on paper, i.e. by post or by hand, at the address below. If an interested party cannot provide its submissions and requests in electronic format, it must immediately inform the Commission in compliance with Article 18(2) of the basic Regulation. For further information concerning correspondence with the Commission, interested parties may consult the relevant web page on the website of the Directorate-General for Trade: http://ec.europa.eu/trade/tackling-unfair-trade/trade-defence.
All written submissions, including the information requested in this Regulation, questionnaire replies and correspondence provided by interested parties on a confidential basis must be labelled as ‘Limited’ (6) and, in accordance with Article 19(2) of the basic Regulation, must be accompanied by a non-confidential version, which must be labelled ‘For inspection by interested parties’.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1001/93 (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas in order to ensure uniform application of the combined nomenclature annexed to the said Regulation, it is necessary to adopt measures concerning the classification of the goods referred to in the Annex to this Regulation;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 has set down the general rules for the interpretation of the combined nomenclature and these rules also apply to any other nomenclature which is wholly or partly based on it or which adds any additional subdivisions to it and which is established by specific Community provisions, with a view to the application of tariff or other measures relating to trade in goods;
Whereas, pursuant to the said general rules, the goods described in column 1 of the table annexed to the present Regulation must be classified under the appropriate CN codes indicated in column 2, by virtue of the reasons set out in column 3;
Whereas it is appropriate that binding tariff information issued by the customs authorities of Member States in respect of the classification of goods in the combined nomenclature and which do not conform to the rights established by this Regulation, can continue to be invoked under the provisions in Article 6 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3796/90 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2674/92 (4), for a period of three months by the holder if a binding contract has been concluded such as is envisaged in Article 14 (3) (a) or (b) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1715/90 (5);

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/493/EEC of 22 July 1991 laying down the health conditions for the production and the placing on the market of fishery products (1), and in particular Article 3 (1) (a) (i) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas in accordance with Article 3 (1) (a) (i) of Directive 91/493/EEC it is essential that hygiene rules be laid down for fishery products caught and where appropriate handled for bleeding, heading, gutting and the removal of fins, chilled or frozen, on board certain vessels;
Whereas general hygiene conditions applicable to fishing vessels should be laid down;
Whereas it is important to lay down additional hygiene conditions applicable to fishing vessels on board which catches are kept for more than twenty-four hours;
Whereas provisions should be made for the possibility of taking into consideration certain specific characteristics of certain fishing vessels;
Whereas it is appropriate to point out that the inspections and controls carried out pursuant to Directive 91/493/EEC apply equally to the vessels referred to in this Directive,
1. The general hygiene conditions laid down in Annex I shall apply to fishery products handled on board fishing vessels.
2. The additional hygiene conditions laid down in Annex II shall apply to fishing vessels designed and equipped to preserve fishery products on board under satisfactory conditions for more than twenty-four hours, other than those equipped for keeping fish, shellfish and molluscs alive without other means of conservation on board.
3. If necessary, and in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 2, derogations from or conditions additional to the provisions of Annex I may be laid down in order to take account of the specific characteristics, if any, of certain fishing vessels.
The Annexes to this Directive may be amended in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 15 of Directive 91/493/EEC.
Member States may, provided that the products coming from fishing vessels expressly comply with the hygiene standards set by Directive 91/493/EEC, grant a further period to fishing vessels, expiring on 31 December 1995, within which to comply with the said requirements laid down in points 8 (b) and (e) of Annex II.
Such derogations may only be obtained by fishing vessels which, carrying out fishing activities on 30 June 1992, have submitted to the competent national authorities, before 31 December 1992, a duly justified application to that effect.
This application must set out details of the periods within which the fishing vessels can comply with the said requirements.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 96/23/EC of 29 April 1996 on measures to monitor certain substances and residues thereof in live animals and animal products and repealing Directives 85/358/EEC and 86/469/EEC and Decisions 89/187/EEC and 91/664/EEC (1), and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 29(1) and Article 29(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 96/23/EC lays down measures to monitor the substances and groups of residues listed in Annex I thereto. This Directive requires that third countries from which Member States are authorised to import animals and animal products covered by that Directive submit a residue monitoring plan providing required guarantees. That plan should, at least, include the groups of residues and substances listed in Annex I of that Directive.
(2) Commission Decision 2011/163/EU (2) approves the plans provided for in Article 29 of Directive 96/23/EC submitted by certain third countries listed in the Annex to that Decision for the animals and animal products indicated in that list (‘the list’).
(3) Mexico is currently included in the list as regards, inter alia, equine. However, the latest audits carried out by the Commission in Mexico have confirmed serious shortcomings in the capacity of the Mexican authorities to carry out reliable checks and in particular to attest the absence of substances prohibited by Council Directive 96/22/EC (3).

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1239/2004
of 5 July 2004
determining the world market price for unginned cotton
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Protocol 4 on cotton, annexed to the Act of Accession of Greece, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1050/2001 (1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton (2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to the historical relationship between the price recorded for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton. That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying the cotton aid scheme (3). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling EUR 21,141/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 6 July 2004.

Whereas Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 provides for determination of the Community market price of slaughtered pigs from prices recorded on the representative markets;
Whereas, in order to enable this provision to be applied, a list of representative markets must be drawn up; whereas reference must be made in fixing the prices of pig carcases to quotations obtained directly from the markets or from the slaughterhouses as well as from quotations established in the quotation centres and of which the entirety forms a representative market for each Member State;
Whereas in Germany, Denmark, France, Greece, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom the prices paid by the public and private slaughterhouses are ascertained by one or more quotation centres for the various regions; whereas in Italy, Ireland and Luxembourg, prices are directly recorded in the most important selling places, while in Belgium and in Spain the quotations are established from an average between the quotations noted on the markets and in the slaughterhouses on the one hand and in the quotation centres on the other hand;
Whereas the purpose of this Regulation is to replace the list established by Council Regulation (EEC) No 43/81 of 1 January 1981 establishing the list of representative markets for pigmeat in the Community (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3553/88 (4);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
The representative markets within the meaning of Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 shall be the markets listed in the Annex hereto.

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2601/69 of 18 December 1969 laying down special measures to encourage the processing of certain varieties of oranges(4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3391/87(5), provides that oranges of the Shamouti variety are, for the 1987/88 marketing year and up to a certain quantity, to qualify under the provisions laid down for certain varieties of oranges for processing;

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 Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 6(3)(b) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1464/95 of 27 June 1995 on special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences in the sugar sector(2), the export licences for the products referred to therein are valid from the date of issue until the end of the third month following that date.

(3) In order to allow operators to conclude contracts after 30 September 2001 using an export licence issued in July 2001, the amount of the export refund should be established for licences issued in July 2001 but used after 30 September 2001. The second paragraph of Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1289/2001, which limits the term of validity of these export licences, should therefore be replaced.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 does not make provision to continue the compensation system for storage costs from 1 July 2001. This should accordingly be taken into account when fixing the refunds granted when the export occurs after 30 September 2001.
(5) In order to avoid a difference in treatment between the export licences issued before and after the date of entry into force of this Regulation, the Regulation should apply to licences issued on or after the date on which Regulation (EC) No 1289/2001 entered into force.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The second paragraph of Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1289/2001 is replaced by the following: "Where an export licence for which the refund amount was fixed in accordance with the first paragraph is used after 30 September 2001, the refund in question shall be reduced by EUR 2/100 kg net white sugar equivalent."

Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries(1), and in particular Article 22(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2002/69/EC of 30 January 2002 concerning certain protective measures with regard to the products of animal origin imported from China(2), as last amended by Decision 2002/768/EC(3), was adopted following the identification during a Community inspection visit to China of serious shortcomings as regards veterinary medicines regulation and the residue control system in live animals and animal products, and following the presence of harmful residues, including chloramphenicol, in products intended for human or animal consumption, presenting a risk to their health.
(2) Decision 2002/69/EC was to be reviewed on the basis of the information provided by the Chinese competent authorities of any results from the increased monitoring and testing carried out by Member States on consignments arriving before 14 March 2002 and, if necessary, of the results of an on-the-spot inspection visit by Community experts.
(3) In view of the information provided by the Chinese authorities as regards the control and the production conditions of crayfish of the species Procambrus clarkii and surimi obtained from the fishery species listed in Decision 2002/69/EC, imports of these products from China should be authorised. However, since the presence of chloramphenicol was detected in surimi and crayfish, it is necessary, in order to ensure their safety, to carry out intensified monitoring and testing of imports of these products applying to 20 % of the consignments arriving at the Community border inspection posts.
(4) Decision 2002/69/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

| COMMISSION DECISION of 7 December 1978 approving aids from the French Republic to the coal-mining industry during 1978 (Only the French text is authentic) (79/22/ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to Commission Decision No 528/76/ECSC of 25 February 1976 regarding the Community system of measures taken by the Member States to assist the coal-mining industry (1),
Having consulted the Council,
I
Whereas the French Government has informed the Commission, pursuant to Article 2 of the abovementioned Decision, of the financial measures which it intends to implement directly or indirectly for the benefit of the coal industry during 1978 ; whereas, of these measures, the following may be approved pursuant to that Decision;
Whereas the French Government intends to grant to Charbonnages de France for 1978 aid amounting to FF 2 229 900 000 in order to permit the economic restructuring of the coalfields to proceed in an appropriate manner;
Whereas the French Government also proposes to grant to the central administration of Charbonnages de France in 1978 aid amounting to FF 200 000 000 to cover the charges incurred in borrowing transferred from the pits to the central administration of Charbonnages de France under the French Government's financial improvement scheme. Whereas this aid is paid not to the coalfields but only to the central administration of Charbonnages de France;
Whereas the abovementioned aids meet the criteria laid down in the Decision for the admissibility of such State assistance;
Whereas the aid of FF 2 429 900 000 proposed by the French Government for 1978 to cover losses (of which FF 2 229 900 000 is to cover the coalfields' losses on mining and FF 200 000 000 is to cover the losses sustained by the central administration of Charbonnages de France) will not be higher than the likely operating losses of Charbonnages de France;
The following points are relevant in connection with aid to the individual coalfields: 1. In 1978, aid to the Nord/Pas-de-Calais and Centre-Midi coalfields will be calculated in such a way that, as a result of the closure of further pits, there will be a reduction in production, which will mean that some 2 800 fewer persons will be employed in the coal industry. The aids will prevent severe economic and social disruption in areas where there are not yet adequate opportunities for reemployment. The aids to these coalfields therefore comply with the provisions of subparagraph 1 of Article 12 (1) and Article 12 (2) of the Decision.
2. The output planning of the Charbonnages de France in the Lorraine coalfield aims at long-term stabilization, since the coking coal produced in this coalfield is important for supplying the steel industry. The aid granted for this purpose complies with subparagraph 2 of Article 12 (1) and Article 12 (3) of the Decision.
II
Whereas, in accordance with Article 3 (2) of the Decision, the examination of the compatibility of the proposed aids with the proper functioning of the common market must also extend to all other financial measures to support current production in 1978;
Whereas the sum of all these aids to support current production by the French coal industry is FF 439 200 000 or 21 798 European units of account per tonne, for 1978 ; whereas this is higher than corresponding German and United Kingdom aids but lower than Belgian aid;
(1) OJ No L 63, 11.3.1976, p. 1. Whereas the following points must be made about the compatibility of the proposed aid with the proper functioning of the common market: - there will be no supply difficulties on the French coal market in 1978,
- French coal exports to other Community countries will fall in 1978 compared with 1977,
- hardly any price alignment agreements were entered into for French coal in 1977,
- industrial consumers of coal will not receive indirect aid in 1978 as a result of the prices of French coking coal and steam coal,
- the closure of marginal pits in the Nord/Pas-de-Calais and Centre-Midi coalfield will result in rationalization and concentration of production on pits where productivity is highest;
Whereas it may therefore be concluded that the aids proposed in 1978 for current production in the French coal industry are compatible with the proper functioning of the common market;
Whereas this also applies when account is taken of aids to the coal mines under Decision 73/287/ECSC;
III
Whereas, pursuant to Article 14 (1) of the Decision, the Commission must ensure that the aids authorized are used exclusively for the purposes set out in Articles 7 to 12 thereof ; whereas the Commission must therefore be informed in particular of the amount of these payments and of the manner in which they are apportioned,
The French Republic is hereby authorized to grant to the coal industry the following aids for 1978: (a) an amount not exceeding FF 2 229 900 000 to cover losses on mining;
(b) an amount not exceeding FF 200 000 000 to cover the financial losses sustained by the central administration of Charbonnages de France.
The aids referred to in (a) and (b) above shall not exceed actual losses.
The French Government shall notify the Commission by 31 March 1979 of details of the aids granted pursuant to this Decision and in particular of the amounts paid and the manner in which they are apportioned.
This Decision is addressed to the French Republic. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

Whereas, in order to ensure equal treatment to all the interested parties in the Community, the tendering systems in operation must comply with uniform principles ; whereas, to this end, the publication of the decision on opening of the tender in the Official Journal of the European Communities shall be accompanied by the terms of the tender;
Whereas, the fixing of an export levy by way of tendering shall allow better management of the market ; whereas finally, to obtain this end it is essential that the tender shall contain the necessary data for their estimation and shall be accompanied by certain formal obligations;
Whereas there are grounds for fixing a minimum export levy ; whereas this method leads to the allocation of all the quantities covered by this fixation;
Whereas market situations could arise in which the economic aspects of the foreseen experts would lead to, instead of fixing a minimum export levy, to deciding to discontinue the invitation to tender;
Whereas a tendering deposit must guarantee that the quantities will be exported using the licence issued under the invitation to tender ; whereas this obligation can only be satisfied if this tender is maintained ; whereas in the case of the tender being withdrawn this deposit will be lost;
Whereas procedures should be followed concerning the notification to tenders of the outcome of the invitation to tender and also the issue of necessary licence for the quantities accepted;
Whereas the measures provided for are in accordance with the Opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,

COMMISSION DECISION
of 28 May 2009
amending Decision 2006/133/EC requiring Member States temporarily to take additional measures against the dissemination of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner et Buhrer) Nickle et al. (the pine wood nematode) as regards areas in Portugal, other than those in which it is known not to occur
(notified under document number C(2009) 3868)
(2009/420/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), and in particular the fourth sentence of Article 16(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Commission Decision 2006/133/EC (2), Portugal is implementing an eradication plan against the dissemination of the pine wood nematode.
(2) On 16 January 2009 the United Kingdom informed the Commission of the interception of wood packaging material coming from Portugal containing live PWN and not marked in accordance with the FAO International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures No 15 on Guidelines for regulating wood packaging material in international trade (hereinafter FAO International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures No 15) as required by Decision 2006/133/EC.
(3) On 20 February 2009 Belgium informed the Commission of five non-compliant consignments of bark and wood waste coming from Portugal. The intercepted bark was accompanied by certificates of phytosanitary treatment by fumigation. Yet Decision 2006/133/EC requires bark to undergo heat treatment. In the case of the intercepted consignment of wood waste, in addition, inconsistencies were found in the accompanying documentation.
(4) On 11 February 2009, Spain informed the Commission of interceptions of consignments of bark and wood waste of susceptible wood coming from Portugal in which live PWN was found. On 20 February 2009 and 3 March 2009, Spain informed the Commission of interceptions of consignments of susceptible wood coming from Portugal which were not accompanied by a plant passport, as required in accordance with point 1(a) of the Annex to Decision 2006/133/EC. On 3, 6 and 18 March 2009, Spain informed the Commission of interceptions of consignments of wood packaging material from Portugal not marked in accordance with FAO International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures No 15 as required by Decision 2006/133/EC.
(5) On 1 April 2009, Ireland notified to the Commission the interception of wood packaging material coming from Portugal in which live PWN was found. Furthermore, Ireland notified on 21 April 2009 to the Commission the interceptions of four consignments of wood packaging material coming from Portugal not marked in accordance with FAO International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures No 15.
(6) On 24 March 2009 and 3 April 2009, Lithuania informed the Commission of the interception of wood packaging material coming from Portugal not marked in accordance with FAO International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures No 15.
(7) Inspections carried out by the Commission in Portugal from 2 to 11 March 2009 revealed that movements of wood and wood packaging material are not fully controlled, as required by Decision 2006/133/EC. In particular, inspectors discovered several cases of non-compliance while controlling road controls at the Spanish border. Consequently the risk cannot be excluded that PWN will be spread to areas outside the demarcated areas in Portugal.
(8) In the light of those new findings in several Member States and of the results of the mission carried out by the Commission, it is necessary that Portugal intensifies the official controls applied on movement of susceptible wood, bark and plants from the demarcated areas to other areas up to the maximum feasible level of controls in order to ensure that the conditions set out in Decision 2006/133/EC are met. Those official controls should focus on the movements presenting the highest risk of spreading live PWN outside the demarcated areas. To limit the risks of fraud, the official checks should be carried out where susceptible wood, bark and plants are leaving the demarcated areas. The results of those official controls should be communicated to the Commission and the other Member States on a weekly basis to allow them to follow the developments of the situation in Portugal closely.
(9) In addition, to increase surveillance on materials that could promote spread of live PWN into other Member States, it is appropriate to reinforce the level of official controls carried out by the Member States on susceptible wood, bark and plants, coming from Portugal and moved into their territory. Those official controls should consist of a documentary check, identity check and, as appropriate, a plant health check, which may include testing for the presence of PWN. The frequency of the official controls should be proportionate to the risk. In case of confirmation of non-compliance, the appropriate measures, as provided for in Directive 2000/29/EC, should be taken.
(10) At the moment Decision 2006/133/EC does not provide for requirements to be applied on movements of susceptible wood, originating in areas other than the demarcated areas in the form of dunnage, spacers and bearers, including that which has not kept its natural round surface, as well as in the form of packing cases, boxes, crates, drums and similar packings, pallets, box pallets and other load boards, pallet collars, whether or not actually in use in the transport of objects of all kinds (hereafter ‘susceptible wood packaging material’) from the demarcated areas to other areas in Member States or in third countries as well as movement of these materials from part of the demarcated area in which PWN is known to occur to the part of the demarcated area designated as buffer zone.
(11) The absence of such requirements follows from the fact that susceptible wood packaging material not originating in the demarcated areas does not present a risk of carrying PWN even if circulated within the demarcated areas. However it is currently not possible to distinguish such wood packaging material from wood packaging material originating within the demarcated areas which is not marked according to Annex II to FAO International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures No 15 in contradiction with Decision 2006/133/EC.
(12) As a result, in application of the precautionary principle, susceptible wood packaging material of any origin, leaving the demarcated areas without having been marked according to Annex II to FAO International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures No 15 has to be considered by the responsible official bodies of Member States as material which is not in compliance with Decision 2006/133/EC. Therefore it is appropriate to prohibit the movements of such material, originating in areas other than the demarcated areas, from the demarcated areas into areas other than demarcated areas in Member States or in third countries, as well as movement of those materials from the part of the demarcated areas in which PWN is known to occur to the part of the demarcated areas designated as buffer zone, unless the material can be identified as free of risk of spreading PWN.
(13) Such material should be identified as free of risk of spreading PWN when it has undergone one of the approved treatments specified in Annex I to FAO International Standard for Phytosanitary measures No 15 and it has been marked according to Annex II to the said Standard. At the moment there is no alternative that can provide the same level of guarantees given, in particular, that there is no system in place at Community level requiring the responsible official bodies of the Member States to certify the origin of the wood used to produce susceptible wood packaging material, and that the introduction of such provisions is not possible at short term.
(14) There are indications that boxes entirely composed of wood of 6 mm thickness or less constitute a lower risk for spreading PWN compared to thicker sizes. It is therefore appropriate to exempt such boxes, whatever the origin of the wood used to produce them, from the treatment and marking obligations as provided for in the FAO International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures No 15.
(15) In order to give sufficient time to the operators to adapt to the requirements set out in this Decision, the latter should not apply before 16 June 2009.
(16) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Decision 2006/133/EC is amended as follows:
1. in Article 2, the following paragraph is inserted after the first paragraph:
2. Article 3 is replaced by the following:
3. the Annex is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 1231/2012
of 17 December 2012
amending Regulation (EU) No 7/2010 opening and providing for the management of autonomous tariff quotas of the Union for certain agricultural and industrial products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 31 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) In order to ensure sufficient and uninterrupted supplies of certain goods insufficiently produced in the Union and to avoid any disturbances on the market for certain agricultural and industrial products, autonomous tariff quotas have been opened by Council Regulation (EU) No 7/2010 (1). Products within those tariff quotas can be imported at reduced or zero duty rates. For the same reasons it is necessary to open, with effect from 1 January 2013, new tariff quotas at a zero duty rate for an appropriate volume for the products with order numbers 09.2658, 09.2659, 09.2660 and 09.2661.
(2) The quota volumes for the autonomous tariff quotas with order numbers 09.2628, 09.2634 and 09.2929 are insufficient to meet the needs of the industry of the Union for the current quota period ending on 31 December 2012. Consequently, those quota volumes should be increased with effect from 1 July 2012. However, the increase of the quota volumes for the autonomous tariff quota with order number 09.2634 should not be continued beyond 31 December 2012.
(3) The quota volume for autonomous tariff quotas with the order number 09.2603 should be replaced by the volume shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
(4) It is no longer in the interest of the Union to continue to grant tariff quotas in 2013 for products with order numbers 09.2615, 09.2636, 09.2640, 09.2813 and 09.2986. Those quotas should therefore be closed with effect from 1 January 2013 and the corresponding products should be deleted from the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 7/2010.
(5) In view of the many changes to be made, in the interest of clarity the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 7/2010 should be replaced in its entirety.
(6) Regulation (EU) No 7/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) Since the tariff quotas should take effect from 1 January 2013, this Regulation should apply from the same date and enter into force immediately upon publication in the Official Journal of the European Union,
The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 7/2010 is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
With effect from 1 July 2012, in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 7/2010:
(1) the quota volume for the autonomous tariff quota with order number 09.2628 is fixed at 3 000 000 m2;
(2) the quota volume for the autonomous tariff quota with order number 09.2634 is fixed at 8 000 tonnes for the period until 31 December 2012;
(3) the quota volume for the autonomous tariff quota with order number 09.2929 is fixed at 10 000 tonnes.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2013, except for Article 2 which shall apply from 1 July 2012.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 |

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 12(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) An invitation to tender for the maximum reduction in the duty on sorghum imported into Spain was opened pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 238/2004 (2).
(2) Pursuant to Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1839/95 (3), the Commission, acting under the procedure laid down in Article 25 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003, may decide to fix a maximum reduction in the import duty. In fixing this maximum the criteria provided for in Articles 6 and 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1839/95 must be taken into account. Whereas a contract is awarded to any tenderer whose tender is equal to or less than the maximum reduction in the duty.
(3) The application of the abovementioned criteria to the current market situation for the cereal in question results in the maximum reduction in the import duty being fixed at the amount specified in Article 1.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
For tenders notified from 17 to 23 September 2004, pursuant to the invitation to tender issued in Regulation (EC) No 238/2004, the maximum reduction in the duty on sorghum imported shall be 39,28 EUR/t and be valid for a total maximum quantity of 4 300 t.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 24 September 2004.

of 8 March 2011
amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC to include isoxaben as active substance and amending Commission Decision 2008/934/EC
(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 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 included isoxaben.
(2) In accordance with Article 11e of Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002 the notifier withdrew its support of the inclusion of that active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC within 2 months from receipt of the draft assessment report. Consequently, Commission Decision 2008/934/EC of 5 December 2008 concerning the non-inclusion of certain active substances in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing these substances (4) was adopted on the non-inclusion of isoxaben.
(3) Pursuant to Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the original notifier (hereinafter ‘the applicant’) submitted a new application requesting the accelerated procedure to be applied, as provided for in Articles 14 to 19 of 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 (5).
(4) The application was submitted to Sweden, which had been designated rapporteur Member State by Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002. The time period for the accelerated procedure was respected. The specification of the active substance and the supported uses are the same as were the subject of Decision 2008/934/EC. That application also complies with the remaining substantive and procedural requirements of Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008.
(5) Sweden evaluated the additional data submitted by the applicant and prepared an additional report. It communicated that report to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) and to the Commission on 20 November 2009. The Authority communicated the additional report to the other Member States and the applicant for comments and forwarded the comments it had received to the Commission. In accordance with Article 20(1) of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 and at the request of the Commission, the Authority presented its conclusion on isoxaben to the Commission on 27 August 2010 (6). The draft assessment report, the additional report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 28 January 2011 in the format of the Commission review report for isoxaben.
(6) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing isoxaben 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 have been examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include isoxaben in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing this active substance can be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.
(7) 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 the applicant submit confirmatory information as regards the specification of the technical material, as commercially manufactured, the relevance of the impurities, the residues in rotational crops and the potential risk to aquatic organisms.
(8) 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.
(9) 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 6 months after inclusion to review existing authorisations of plant protection products containing isoxaben 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 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.
(10) 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 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (7) 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.
(11) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(12) Decision 2008/934/EC provides for the non-inclusion of isoxaben and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing that substance by 31 December 2011. It is necessary to delete the line concerning isoxaben in the Annex to that Decision.
(13) It is therefore appropriate to amend Decision 2008/934/EC accordingly.
(14) 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.
The line concerning isoxaben in the Annex to Decision 2008/934/EC is deleted.
Member States shall adopt and publish by 30 November 2011 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.

| Commission Directive 2001/99/EC
of 20 November 2001
amending Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market to include glyphosate and thifensulfuron-methyl as active substances
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), as last amended by Commission Directive 2001/87/EC(2), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2266/2000(4), laid down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC (hereinafter referred to as "the Directive"). Pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92, Commission Regulation (EC) No 933/94 of 27 April 1994 laying down the active substances of plant protection products and designating the rapporteur Member States for the implementation of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2230/95(6), laid down the list of active substances of plant protection products to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to the Directive.
(2) For glyphosate and thifensulfuron-methyl the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 for a range of uses proposed by the notifiers. Under Regulation (EC) No 933/94, Germany and France were designated as rapporteur Member States for glyphosate and thifensulfuron-methyl, respectively. The rapporteur Member States submitted the relevant assessment reports and recommendations to the Commission on 1 February 1999 (glyphosate) and on 30 April 1996 (thifensulfuron-methyl) in accordance with Article 7(1)(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92.
(3) These assessment reports have been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on Plant Health. The reviews were finalised on 29 June 2001 in the format of the Commission review reports for glyphosate and thifensulfuron-methyl.
(4) The dossiers and the information from the reviews of glyphosate and thifensulfuron-methyl were also submitted to the Scientific Committee for Plants. No specific questions were addressed to the Committee. The Committee considered that there were no issues that it wished to raise regarding the active substances in the context of a possible inclusion in Annex I to the Directive(7). The Committee noted that absence of comment should only be interpreted as an indication of no obvious reasons necessitating comment.
(5) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing the active substances concerned may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of the Directive, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include the active substances concerned in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing the active substances concerned can be granted in accordance with the provisions of the said Directive.
(6) The Directive provides that after inclusion of an active substance in Annex I, Member States must, within a prescribed period, grant, vary or withdraw, as appropriate, the authorisations of the plant protection products containing the active substance. In particular, plant protection products should not be authorised unless account is taken of the conditions associated with the inclusion of the active substance in Annex I and the uniform principles laid down in the Directive on the basis of a dossier satisfying the prescribed data requirements.
(7) A reasonable period must be provided for 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. Moreover, after inclusion, a reasonable period is necessary to permit Member States to implement the provisions of the Directive on plant protection products containing glyphosate or thifensulfuron-methyl. In particular, Member States must, within that period, review existing authorisations and, where appropriate, grant new authorisations in accordance with the provisions of the Directive. A longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete dossier of each plant protection product in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in the Directive. For plant protection products containing several active substances, the complete evaluation on the basis of the uniform principles can only be carried out when all the active substances concerned have been included in Annex I to the Directive.
(8) The review report is required for the proper implementation by the Member States, of several sections of the uniform principles laid down in the Directive. It is, therefore, appropriate to provide that the finalised review reports (except for confidential information) are kept available or made available by the Member States for consultation by any interested parties. If a review report has to be updated to take account of technical and scientific developments, the conditions for the inclusion of the substance concerned in Annex I to the Directive should also be amended in accordance with the Directive.
(9) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC shall be amended in accordance with the Annex hereto.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive, by 1 January 2003 at the latest. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
In particular they shall, in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing glyphosate or thifensulfuron-methyl as active substance by that date.
When Member States adopt this provision, 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.
2. With regard to evaluation and decision-making pursuant to 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 thereto, the deadline for amending or withdrawing authorisations for plant protection products containing glyphosate or thifensulfuron-methyl as the only active substance shall be 1 July 2006.
3. For plant protection products containing glyphosate or thifensulfuron-methyl together with another active substance which is in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, the period for amending or withdrawing authorisations shall expire four years after the entry into force of the Directive which amended Annex I so as to add the last of those substances to it.
4. Member States shall keep available the review reports for glyphosate and thifensulfuron-methyl (except for confidential information within the meaning of Article 14 of Directive 91/414/EEC) for consultation by any interested parties or shall make it available to them on specific request.
This Directive shall enter into force on 1 July 2002.
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 |

| Commission Regulation (EC) No 1735/2001
of 31 August 2001
fixing the export refunds on syrups and certain other sugar products exported in the natural state
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 3 of 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), provides that the export refund on 100 kilograms of the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 is equal to the basic amount multiplied by the sucrose content, including, where appropriate, other sugars expressed as sucrose; the sucrose content of the product in question is determined in accordance with Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95.
(3) Article 30(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the basic amount of the refund on sorbose exported in the natural state must be equal to the basic amount of the refund less one-hundredth of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards granting the production refund on certain sugar products used in the chemical industry(3) to the products listed in the Annex to the last mentioned Regulation;
(4) According to the terms of Article 30(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, the basic amount of the refund on the other products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of the said Regulation exported in the natural state must be equal to one-hundredth of an amount which takes account, on the one hand, of the difference between the intervention price for white sugar for the Community areas without deficit for the month for which the basic amount is fixed and quotations or prices for white sugar on the world market and, on the other, of the need to establish a balance between the use of Community basic products in the manufacture of processed goods for export to third countries and the use of third country products brought in under inward processing arrangements.
(5) According to the terms of Article 30(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, the application of the basic amount may be limited to some of the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of the said Regulation.
(6) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 makes provision for setting refunds for export in the natural state of products referred to in Article 1(1)(f) and (g) and (h) of that Regulation; the refund must be fixed per 100 kilograms of dry matter, taking account of the export refund for products falling within CN code 1702 30 91 and for products referred to in Article 1(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 and of the economic aspects of the intended exports; in the case of the products referred to in the said Article (1)(f) and (g), the refund is to be granted only for products complying with the conditions in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2135/95; for the products referred to in Article 1(1)(h), the refund shall be granted only for products complying with the conditions in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2135/95.
(7) The refunds referred to above must be fixed every month; they may be altered in the intervening period.
(8) Application of these quotas results in fixing refunds for the products in question at the levels given in the Annex to this Regulation.
(9) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 does not make provision to continue the compensation system for storage costs from 1 July 2001. This should accordingly be taken into account when fixing the refunds granted when the basic product is processed after 30 September 2001.
(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)(d)(f)(g) and (h) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, exported in the natural state, shall be set out in the Annex hereto.
Where an export licence for which the refund amount was fixed in accordance with the first paragraph is used after 30 September 2001, the refund in question shall be reduced by EUR 2/100 kg net white sugar equivalent.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 September 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (1), and in particular Article 247 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (2), and in particular Article 89(1)(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Commission Regulation (EC) No 815/2008 (3) Cape Verde was granted a derogation from the rules of origin laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93. By Implementing Regulation (EU) No 439/2011 (4) the Commission granted Cape Verde a new derogation from those rules of origin. The latest derogation expires on 31 December 2014.
(2) By letter dated 4 June 2014, Cape Verde submitted a request for a prolongation of that derogation for an indefinite period of time from 1 January 2015 until either the expiry of the Protocol (to be published) between the European Union and the Republic of Cape Verde setting out the fishing opportunities and the financial contribution provided for in the Fisheries Partnership Agreement between the two parties currently in force, or the application date for the rules of origin under a future Economic Partnership Agreement between the Union and the Economic Community of West African States, whichever occurs later. The request concerns an annual volume of 2 500 tonnes for prepared or preserved mackerel fillets and 875 tonnes for prepared or preserved frigate tuna or frigate mackerel fillets.
(3) From 2008, the total annual quantities that were granted to Cape Verde under the derogation have contributed, to a significant extent, to improving the situation in the Cape Verdean fishery processing sector. Those quantities also led, to a certain extent, to the revitalisation of Cape Verde's artisanal fleet, which is of vital importance for the country. However, fully revitalising the Cape Verdean fleet to the degree envisaged requires that Cape Verde's fish processing industries continue to be provided with enough originating raw materials.
(4) The request demonstrates that, without the derogation, the ability of the Cape Verdean fish processing industry to continue exporting to the Union would be significantly affected, which might deter further development of the Cape Verdean fleet for small pelagic fishing.
(5) Additional time is needed to consolidate the results already obtained by Cape Verde in its efforts to revitalise its local fishing fleet. The derogation should give Cape Verde sufficient time to prepare itself to comply with the rules for the acquisition of preferential origin.
(6) Having regard to the temporary nature of derogations granted in respect of the definition of the concept of originating products,, it is not possible to grant the derogation for an indefinite period as requested by Cape Verde. Instead, the derogation should be granted for a period of two years, in respect of yearly quantities of 2 500 tonnes for prepared or preserved mackerel fillets and 875 tonnes for prepared or preserved frigate tuna or frigate mackerel fillets, to allow Cape Verde to achieve compliance with the rules.
(7) Implementing Regulation (EU) No 439/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
Implementing Regulation (EU) No 439/2011 is amended as follows:
(1) Article 2 is replaced by the following:
(2) the Annex is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
1. This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
2. It shall apply from 1 January 2015.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular Article 35 thereof,
Having regard to a proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Community fruit and vegetable harvest in the 1993/94 marketing year, and in particular the apple harvests, are more than enough to satisfy Community consumption, to the extent that withdrawals of major quantities should be anticipated;
Whereas Article 21 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 defines the way products withdrawn from the market may be disposed of;
Whereas, in order to improve food supplies to people in certain third countries and in particular the victims of the conflict in the former Yugoslavia, apples, and, where appropriate, other fruit and vegetables withdrawn from the market could be dispatched to such third countries through charitable organizations;
Whereas there is no provision for this in Article 21 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72; whereas, however, on account, on the one hand, of the difficulties of supply encountered by victims of the conflict in the former Yugoslavia and, on the other hand, of the surplus apple harvests in the Community, a measure departing from the said Article 21 of that Regulation should be adopted to allow for the delivery of apples withdrawn from the market to the organizations concerned with a view to their free distribution to the people in question; whereas such an operation needs to be able to be extended quickly to cover other fruit and vegetables or other destinations in the event of serious supply difficulties;
Whereas from now on it seems possible to extend this operation to oranges for the 1993/94 marketing year,
1. Article 21 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 notwithstanding, during the 1993/94 marketing year, table apples and oranges of Community origin withdrawn from the market in accordance with that Regulation may be made available to charitable organizations approved by the Member States for this purpose with a view to their free distribution to the victims of the conflict in the former Yugoslavia.
2. Without prejudice to the Community provisions applicable to the subject, the costs of transport of the apples and oranges referred to in paragraph 1 shall be borne by the charitable organizations undertaking such operations.
3. Apples and oranges dispatched pursuant to paragraph 1 shall not qualify for export refunds applying to fruit and vegetables. The customs export document, the transit entitlement and document T 5, where drawn up, shall be supplemented by the words 'without refund'.
Detailed rules for the application of this Regulation and in particular for coordination under the Community emergency aid plan for the former Yugoslavia shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 33 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72.
In the event of serious difficulties of supply, the Commission may decide, in accordance with the same procedure, to apply Article 1 of this Regulation to other fruit and vegetables withdrawn from the market or in respect of other destinations.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 15 October 1993.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 485/2008 of 26 May 2008 on scrutiny by Member States of transactions forming part of the system of financing by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (1), and in particular Article 1(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 485/2008 relates to scrutiny of the commercial documents of those entities receiving or making payments relating directly or indirectly to the system of financing by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF), in order to ascertain whether transactions forming part of the system of financing by the EAGF have actually been carried out and have been executed correctly. It is however appropriate to exclude from the application of that Regulation those measures which are by their nature unsuited to ex post control by way of scrutiny of commercial documents.
(2) A list of exempted measures is currently set out in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2311/2000 of 18 October 2000 establishing the list of measures to which Council Regulation (EEC) No 4045/89 does not apply and repealing Decision 96/284/EC (2). Given the changes occurred in the agricultural legislation, it is necessary to update that list.
(3) Certain measures are concerned with payments that are either area related or unrelated to commercial documents that can be subject to scrutiny. It is accordingly appropriate to exclude such measures from the scope of application of Regulation (EC) No 485/2008.
(4) Account should be taken that certain measures previously financed through the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (Guarantee Section) are now financed through the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) as established by Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 of 21 June 2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (3).
(5) For reasons of clarity, Regulation (EC) No 2311/2000 should be repealed and replaced by a new text.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on the Agricultural Funds,
The system of scrutinies established by Regulation (EC) No 485/2008 does not apply to the measures listed in the Annex to this Regulation.
Regulation (EC) No 2311/2000 is repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Whereas the Commission, further to an outbreak of influenza H5N1 in humans in Hong Kong, and in view of a possible epidemiological connection between humans and poultry, has taken Decision 98/85/EC of 16 January 1998 concerning certain protective measures with regard to live birds coming from or originating in Hong Kong and China (3);
Whereas the purpose of that Decision was to prevent the introduction of the influenza H5N1 virus into the Community through consignments of live birds;
Whereas in accordance with information form the WHO, it appears that it is unlikely that the virus is still present either in humans or in animals;
Whereas it is therefore appropriate to repeal Decision 98/85/EC;

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 109(3) thereof,
Having regard to the recommendation from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Central Bank (1),
(1) Whereas according to Council Regulation (EC) No 974/98 of 3 May 1998 on the introduction of the euro (2), the euro will be substituted as from 1 January 1999 for the currency of each participating Member State at the conversion rate;
(2) Whereas the Community will have the competence for monetary and exchange rate matters in the Member States adopting the euro as from the same date;
(3) Whereas the Council is to determine the appropriate arrangements for the negotiation and conclusion of agreements concerning monetary or foreign exchange regime matters;
(4) Whereas France has concluded several agreements with the UEMOA (Union économique et monétaire ouest-africaine), the CEMAC (Communauté économique et monétaire de l'Afrique Centrale) and the Comores which are intended to guarantee the convertibility of the CFA and Comorian francs into the French franc at a fixed parity (3);
(5) Whereas the euro will be substituted for the French franc on 1 January 1999;
(6) Whereas the convertibility of the CFA and Comorian francs is guaranteed by a budgetary commitment of the French authorities; whereas the French authorities have given the assurance that the agreements with the UEMOA, the CEMAC and with the Comores have no substantial financial implications for France;
(7) Whereas these agreements are unlikely to have any material effect on the monetary and exchange rate policy of the euro area; whereas in their present form and state of implementation these agreements are therefore unlikely to present any obstacle to a smooth functioning of economic and monetary union; whereas nothing in these agreements can be construed as implying an obligation for the European Central Bank or any national central bank to support the convertibility of the CFA or Comorian franc; whereas modifications to the existing agreements will not lead to any obligations for the European Central or any national central bank;
(8) Whereas France and the African signatories to the agreements are willing to continue the present agreements after the substitution of the euro for the French franc; whereas it is appropriate that France may continue the present agreements after the substitution of the euro for the French franc and that France and the African signatories to the agreements implement them under their sole responsibility;
(9) Whereas it is necessary for the Community to be informed on a regular basis about the implementation and envisaged modifications of the agreements;
(10) Whereas the modification or implementation of existing agreements will be without prejudice to the primary objective of the Community's exchange-rate policy to maintain price stability, in accordance with Article 3a(2) of the Treaty;
(11) Whereas it is necessary to involve the competent Community bodies before making any changes to the nature or scope of the present agreements; whereas this applies to the membership of the agreements and to the principle of free convertibility at a fixed parity between the euro and the CFA and Comorian francs, convertibility being guaranteed by a budgetary commitment of the French Treasury;
(12) Whereas the decision does not establish a precedent with respect to any arrangements that may be decided in the future with respect to the negotiation and conclusion of similar agreements concerning monetary or foreign exchange regime matters by the Community with other States or international organisations;
(13) Whereas, without prejudice to Community competence and Community agreements as regards economic and monetary union, Member States may negotiate in international bodies and conclude international agreements,
Upon the substitution of the euro for the French franc, France may continue its present agreements concerning exchange rate matters with the UEMOA (Union économique et monétaire ouest-africaine), the CEMAC (Communauté économique et monétaire de l'Afrique Centrale) and the Comores.
France and the African signatories to the agreements shall retain sole responsibility for the implementation of these agreements.

| COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 22 December 1986 on the limitation of noise emitted by hydraulic excavators, rope-operated excavators, dozers, loaders and excavator-loaders (86/662/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(3),
Whereas the 1973(4) and 1977(5) action programmes of the European Communities on the environment highlight the importance of the problem of noise nuisance and, in particular, the need for action to regulate the worst noise sources;
Whereas, during the Council meeting of 18 and 19 December 1978, the Ministers for the Environment declared that the technical requirements relating to the measurement of noise at the operator's position would have to be included in the Annexes to the special Directives on each type of equipment under consideration;
Whereas the disparity between the provisions applicable in the various Member States concerning the limitation of the sound emission level of hydraulic and rope-operated excavators and of dozers and excavator-loaders directly affects the functioning of the common market; whereas it is therefore appropriate to carry out in this field the approximation of laws for which Article 100 of the Treaty provides;
Whereas Council Directive 84/532/EEC of 17 September 1984 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to common provisions for construction plant and equipment(6) laid down, inter alia, the procedures for EEC type-approval verification; whereas it is necessary, pursuant to that Directive, to prescribe the harmonized requirements which each category of equipment must satisfy;
Whereas Council Directive 79/113/EEC of 19 December 1978 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the determination of the noise emission of construction plant and equipment(7), as amended by Directive 81/1051/EEC(8), laid down the method which should be used for establishing the acoustic criteria for hydraulic and rope-operated excavators and for dozers, loaders and excavator-loaders;
Whereas, owing to the effect of the noise emitted by hydraulic and rope-operated excavators and by dozers, loaders and excavator-loaders on the environment and, more particularly, on human well-being and health, it is necessary to bring about a progressive and appreciable reduction in the permissible sound emission level of hydraulic and rope-operated excavators and of dozers, loaders and excavator loaders;
Whereas it is appropriate to set a sound emission level applicable when this Directive comes into force and to make these provisions more stringent on a gradual basis;
Whereas it is appropriate to publish, for information purposes, the sound-power level and the sound-pressure level at the operator's position;
Whereas the technical provisions must be supplemented and rapidly adapted to technical progress; whereas, to this end, provision should be made for application of the procedure defined in Article 5 of Directive 79/113/EEC,
1. This Directive shall apply to the sound-power level of airborne noise emitted in the environment and the sound-pressure level of airborne noise emitted at the operator's position of hydraulic excavators, rope-operated excavators, dozers, loaders and excavator-loaders, hereinafter referred to as 'earth-moving machines', used to perform work on civil-engineering and building sites.
2. This is a separate Directive within the meaning of Article 3 (2) of Council Directive 84/532/EEC, hereinafter referred to as the 'framework Directive'.
For the purposes of this Directive:
2.1.Hydraulic or rope-operated excavators means machines combining a self-propelled undercarriage with an upper structure which can swivel through more than 360°. The machine excavates, lifts, carries and dumps material by moving either a boom, an arm and bucket (as is the case with a face shovel or a backhoe) or a bucket controlled by the winding-gear (as is the case with a drag-line or a clamshell).
2.2.Dozers means self-propelled wheeled or crawler machines fitted in front with a blade which serves primarily to displace or spread materials.
2.3.Loaders means self-propelled wheeled or crawler machines fitted in front with a bucket. The machine loads, raises, transports and dumps material by combining its own movements and those of the bucket.
2.4.Excavator-loaders means self-propelled wheeled or crawler machines, designed to be fitted with a loading bucket at the front and an excavating arm at the rear as original equipment. The loading bucket loads, raises, transports and dumps material by combining its own movements with those of the machine. The excavating arm excavates, raises and dumps material by movements of the boom, arm and bucket.
1. The approved bodies shall issue an EEC type- examination certificate for every type of earth-moving machine referred to in Article 1 (1):
(a)during a six-year period from the date on which the Directive enters into force, where the sound-power level of airborne noise emitted in the environment measured under the conditions of stationary operation set out in Annex I to Directive 79/113/EEC, as supplemented by Annex I to this Directive, does not exceed the permissible level specified with reference to the net installed power in the following table:
>TABLE>
(b)after expiry of the abovementioned six-year period, where the sound-power level of airborne noise emitted into the environment measured under the conditions of real dynamic operation laid down in Annex I to Directive 79/113/EEC, as supplemented by Annex II to this Directive, does not exceed the permissible level determined pursuant to Article 7.
2. All applications for an EEC type-examination certificate in respect of the permissible sound-power levels of a type of earth-moving machine shall be accompanied by an information document conforming to the model shown in Annex IV.
3. For each type of earth-moving machine it certifies, the approved body shall complete all the sections of the type-examination certificate conforming to the model given in Annex III to the framework Directive.
4. The period of validity of EEC type-examination certificates shall be limited to six years.
However, the certificate granted in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 1 (a) shall cease to be valid after a period of seven years has elapsed from the date the Directive entered into force.
The conditions for renewing certificates granted shall be determined pursuant to Article 7.
6. For every earth-moving machine built in conformity with the type certified by EEC type-examination, the manufacturer shall complete a certificate of conformity conforming to the model given in Annex IV to the framework Directive and shall indicate thereon the net installed power and the corresponding swivel system.
7. Each earth-moving machine built in accordance with the type certified by EEC type-examination shall bear a clear and permanent mark indicating the -sound-power level in dB(A) in relation to 1 pW,
-sound-pressure level in dB(A) in relation to 20 ìPa at the operator's position,
guaranteed by the manufacturer and determined as laid down in Annex I to Directive 79/113/EEC, as amended by Directive 81/1051/EEC and supplemented by Annex I or II and III to this Directive, together with the symbol 'aa' (epsilon). The model for these marks is given in Annex V to this Directive.
The provisions of this Directive shall not affect the Member States' entitlement to limit, with due observance of the Treaty and, in particular, Articles 30 to 36 thereof, the noise level observed at the operator's position in earth-moving machines provided that this does not entail any obligation to adjust earth-moving machines which meet the requirements of this Directive to different emission specifications within the meaning of Annex I to the Directive.
Member States may take measures to regulate the use of earth-moving machines in areas which they consider sensitive.
Checking of the conformity of production models with the type examined, as provided for in Article 12 of the framework Directive, shall be carried out using the technical procedure laid down in Annex VI.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 86/362/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on cereals(1), as last amended by Commission Directive 2001/57/EC(2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 86/363/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on foodstuffs of animal origin(3), as last amended by Directive 2001/57/EC, and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/642/EEC of 27 November 1990 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on certain products of plant origin, including fruit and vegetables(4), as last amended by Commission Directive 2002/5/EC(5), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market(6), as last amended by Commission Directive 2001/103/EC(7), and in particular Article 4(1)(f) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The new active substances flupyrsulfuron-methyl, pymetrozine, azoxystrobin and kresoxim-methyl (the active substances concerned) were included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by Commission Directives 2001/49/EC(8), 2001/87/EC(9), 98/47/EC(10) and 1999/1/EC(11), for use, respectively as a herbicide on cereals, insecticide on cereals, fruits, vegetables, pulses, oil seeds and hops, a fungicide without uses specified and a fungicide on cereals, pome fruit and vines.
(2) The inclusion in Annex I of the active substances concerned was based on the assessment of the information submitted concerning the proposed uses. Information relating to these uses has been submitted by certain Member States in accordance with Article 4(1)(f) of Directive 91/414/EEC. The information available has been reviewed and is sufficient to allow certain maximum residue levels (MRLs) to be fixed.
(3) Where no Community MRL or provisional MRL exists, Member States are to establish a national provisional MRL in accordance with Article 4(1)(f) of Directive 91/414/EEC before plant protection products containing these active substances may be authorised.
(4) With respect to the inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of the active substances concerned, the related technical and scientific evaluations were finalised in the form of Commission review reports. The reports were finalised on 16 October 1998, 27 April 2001, 22 April 1998, 27 July 2001 in the case of kresoxim-methyl, flupyrsulfuron-methyl, azoxystrobin and pymetrozine, respectively. They fixed the acceptable daily intake (ADI) for kresoxim-methyl at 0,4 mg/kg bw/day, for flupyrsulfuron-methyl at 0,035 mg/kg bw/day, for azoxystrobin at 0,1 mg/kg bw/day and for pymetrozine at 0,03 mg/kg bw/day. The lifetime exposure of consumers of food products treated with the active substances concerned has been assessed and evaluated in accordance with Community procedures and practices, taking account of guidelines published by the World Health Organisation(12) and the opinion of the Scientific Committee for Plants(13) on the methodology employed and it is calculated that MRL accordingly proposed will not lead to those ADIs being exceeded.
(5) No acute toxic effects requiring the setting of an acute reference dose were noted during the evaluations and discussions preceding the inclusion of flupyrsulfuron-methyl, azoxystrobin and kresoxim-methyl in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. The acute reference dose for pymetrozine was established at 0,1 mg/kg bw/day. According to the exposure assessment, the MRLs proposed will not lead to an unacceptable acute exposure of consumers.
(6) In order to ensure that the consumer is adequately protected from exposure to residues in or on products for which no authorisation has been granted, it is prudent to set provisional MRL at the lower limit of analytical determination for all such products covered by Directives 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642/EEC. The setting at Community level of such provisional MRL does not prevent the Member States from establishing provisional maximum residue levels for flupyrsulfuron-methyl, pymetrozine, azoxystrobin and kresoxim-methyl in accordance with Article 4(1)(f) of Directive 91/414/EEC and Annex VI thereto. It is considered that a period of four years is sufficient to enable most further uses of the active substances concerned. The provisional MRL should then become definitive.
(7) The Community notified the draft Commission Directive to the World Trade Organisation and the comments received have been considered in finalising the Directive. MRLs for specific pesticide/crop combinations used in third countries could be examined by the Commission on the basis of the acceptable data submitted.
(8) Account has been taken of the opinions of the Scientific Committee for Plants, in particular of its advice and recommendations concerning the protection of consumers of food products treated with pesticides.
(9) This Directive is in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
The following pesticide maximum residue levels are added to part A of Annex II to Directive 86/362/EEC:
>TABLE>
By 1 December 2005, provisional maximum residue levels for flupyrsulfuron-methyl and pymetrozine shall cease to be provisional and shall become definitive in the sense of Article 4(1) of Directive 86/362/EEC.
The following pesticide residues are added to part B of Annex II to Directive 86/363/EEC:
>TABLE>
By 1 December 2005, provisional maximum residue levels for pymetrozine shall cease to be provisional and shall become definitive in the sense of Article 4(1) of Directive 86/363/EEC.
The maximum pesticide residue levels for flupyrsulfuron-methyl and pymetrozine in the Annex to this Directive shall be added to Annex II to Directive 90/642/EEC. The maximum pesticide residue levels for azoxystrobin in the Annex to this Directive shall replace those in Annex II to Directive 90/642/EEC.
The provisional maximum pesticide residue levels for kresoxim-methyl in Annex II to Directive 90/642/EEC shall be modified to 0,2 mg/kg (p) for strawberries. (p) indicates provisional maximum residue level.
For kresoxim-methyl provisional MRLs shall become definitive with effect of 19 October 2004.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 31 August 2002 at the latest. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
2. They shall apply these provisions as of 1 September 2002.
3. 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.
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

| Commission Regulation (EC) No 1275/2002
of 12 July 2002
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), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1365/2000(2), 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(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(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1007/2002(4).
(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(5), as last amended by Directive 95/23/EC(6), Council Directive 94/65/EC(7) and Council Directive 77/99/EEC(8), as last amended by Directive 97/76/EC(9).
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
The list of products on which the export refund specified in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 is granted and the amount of the refund shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
The products concerned must comply with the relevant provisions on health marks laid down in:
- Chapter XI of Annex I to Directive 64/433/EEC,
- Chapter VI of Annex I to Directive 94/65/EC,
- Chapter VI of Annex B to Directive 77/99/EEC.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 15 July 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 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1254/78 (2), and in particular Article 23 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 129 on the value of the unit of account and the exchange rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2543/73 (4), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the Monetary Committee,
Whereas Article 23 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 allows the Italian Republic to reduce the levy in the case of barley, oats, maize, grain sorghum or millet imported by sea ; whereas this reduction may be made only if an equal subsidy is granted for deliveries of the same cereals by sea from the Member States ; whereas the Italian Republic is to be informed if the Member State of consignment pays the subsidy to the consignor;
Whereas the Italian Republic applies that reduction for cereals loaded loose or in sealable bags on board ships ; whereas the subsidy is granted only for cereals delivered in the same way;
Whereas because of the application of the monetary coefficient the reduction of the levy applicable to imports from outside the Community is the amount in units of account converted at the spot market rate ; whereas application of the representative rate to subsidies to be paid on deliveries from other Member States gives different amounts ; whereas this inequality may be avoided by applying the monetary coefficient to subsidize Community products ; whereas the monetary coefficients are regularly published in Annex II to the Regulation fixing the monetary compensatory amounts ; whereas the Regulation at present is Regulation (EEC) No 1036/78 (5);
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 446/69 of 10 March 1969 fixing the procedure for notifying Italy of the payment of subsidies for feed grain by the exporting Member State (6), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 316/70 (7), provides for the use of the Community transit document for such notifications ; whereas these provisions should take into consideration the amendments made in the Community transit procedure;
Whereas the procedures for granting the subsidy should be laid down ; whereas the granting of the subsidy in the Member State of consignment must be conditional on proof that the products have been entered for home use in Italy ; whereas this proof should be furnished by production of the control copy (T 5) provided for in Article 10 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 223/77 of 22 December 1976 on provisions for the implementation of the Community transit procedure and for certain simplifications of that procedure (8), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2826/77 (9) ; whereas Article 11 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1380/75 of 29 May 1975 laying down detailed rules for the application of monetary compensatory amounts (10), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2117/78 (11), stipulates that the payment by the exporting Member State of the monetary compensatory amount shall be conditional upon production of certain proof, and that such proof shall be furnished by production of the control copy ; whereas, in the interests of simplification it should be provided that both matters may be proven by production of a single control copy;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals, (1)OJ No L 281, 1.11.1975, p. 1. (2)OJ No L 156, 14.6.1978, p. 1. (3)OJ No 106, 30.10.1962, p. 2553/62. (4)OJ No L 263, 19.9.1973, p. 1. (5)OJ No L 133, 22.5.1978, p. 1. (6)OJ No L 60, 11.3.1969, p. 6. (7)OJ No L 41, 21.2.1970, p. 1. (8)OJ No L 38, 9.2.1977, p. 20.

1. This Regulation lays down detailed rules for payment of the subsidy referred to in Article 23 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 and notification to the Italian Republic of payments to be made in the Member State of consignment.
2. For the purposes of this Regulation cereals shall be considered as "delivered by sea" if they are loaded loose or in bags on board ships coming directly from the port of embarkation into the territory of the Italian Republic. Cereals transported on lorries, rail trucks or other vehicles or containers, even if these are loaded on a ship, shall not be considered as "delivered by sea".
The amount in units of account of the subsidy to be paid shall be that applicable on the day of importation into Italy.
It shall be multiplied by the coefficient given in Annex II to the Regulation fixing the monetary compensatory amounts, and then converted into national currency using the representative rate, coefficient and representative rate being those applicable for cereals in the paying Member State on the day of importation into Italy.
Payment of the subsidy by Italy shall be made on condition that: - the person concerned requests the subsidy at the time of completion of customs formalities for entry for home use,
- the cereals have been delivered by sea,
- the control copy provided for in Article 4 (2) is not shown as having been issued on the appropriate Community transit document and the control copy has not been presented to the Italian customs authorities by the time of completion of customs formalities for entry for home use.
1. Payment of the subsidy by the Member State of consignment shall be made only upon production of proof that the cereals have been delivered to Italy by sea and that they have been entered for home use.
2. The proof referred to in paragraph 1 shall be furnished by production of the control copy provided for in Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 223/77. In that part of the control copy headed "Additional information", the following shall be completed: (1) Sections 101 and 103;
(2) Section 104 by deleting as appropriate and entering one of the following endorsements:
"Entry for home use in Italy. Subsidy to be granted by Member State of consignment (Regulation (EEC) No 476/79)."

"Aangifte tot verbruik in Italië. Subsidie toe te kennen door de Lid-Staat van herkomst (Verordening (EEG) nr. 476/79)."
The competent Italian customs office shall complete the section headed "Control as to use and/or destination" and add the following:
"Cereali arrivati via mare. Sovvenzione applicabile il (date of entry for home use) non concessa in Italia."
3. The items specified in paragraph 2 shall be entered on the control copy referred to in Article 11 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1380/75 when that provision is applied.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), as last amended by Decision 94/370/EC (2), and in particular Article 24 thereof,
Whereas Decision 90/424/EEC provides for the possibility of financial participation by the Community in the eradication and surveillance of rabies;
Whereas it is now desirable to introduce full-scale eradication measures in infected Member States and adjacent third countries in order to prohibit the re-entry of rabies;
Whereas by letter dated 29 July 1994, Italy has submitted a programme for the eradication of rabies;
Whereas after examination of the programme it was found to comply with all Community criteria relating to the eradication of the disease in conformity with Council Decision 90/638/EEC of 27 November 1990 on laying down Community criteria for the eradication and monitoring of certain animal diseases (3), as last amended by Council Directive 92/65/EEC (4);
Whereas this programme appears on the priority list of programmes for the eradication and surveillance of animal diseases which can benefit from financial participation from the Community in 1995 and which was established by Commission Decision 94/769/EC (5);
Whereas in the light of the importance of the programme for the achievement of Community objectives in the field of animal health, it is appropriate to fix the financial participation of the Community at 50 % of the costs incurred by Italy up to a maximum of ECU 270 000;
Whereas a financial contribution from the Community shall be granted in so far as the actions provided for are carried out and provided that the authorities furnish all the necessary information within the time limits provided for;

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the Common Fisheries Policy (1), and in particular Article 26(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to common fisheries policy (2), and in particular Article 21(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 41/2007 of 21 December 2006 fixing for 2007 the fishing opportunities and associated conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks applicable in Community waters and for Community vessels, in waters where catch limitations are required (3), lays down quotas for 2007.
(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 2007.
(3) It is therefore necessary to prohibit fishing for that stock and its retention on board, transhipment and landing,
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 2007 shall be deemed to be exhausted from the date set out in that Annex.

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), establishing a European Chemicals Agency, amending Directive 1999/45/EC and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1488/94 as well as Council Directive 76/769/EEC and Commission Directives 91/155/EEC, 93/67/EEC, 93/105/EC and 2000/21/EC (1), and in particular Article 68(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, if a Member State considers that the manufacture, placing on the market or use of a substance on its own, in a mixture or in an article poses a risk to human health or the environment that is not adequately controlled and needs to be addressed, it shall prepare a dossier after notifying that intention to the European Chemicals Agency (hereinafter ‘the Agency’).
(2) On 15 April 2010 France submitted to the Agency a dossier pursuant to Article 69(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, in order to initiate a restriction process in accordance with Articles 69 to 73 of that Regulation. In that dossier, it was demonstrated that due to their mouthing behaviour, children, especially those under 36 months, can be repeatedly exposed to lead released from jewellery articles. Such repeated exposure to lead can result in severe and irreversible neurobehavioural and neurodevelopmental effects, to which children are particularly sensitive given that their central nervous system is still under development. The dossier demonstrates that action on a Union-wide basis is necessary, beyond any measures already in place, in order to avoid as much as possible the exposure to lead and its compounds in jewellery articles. Accordingly, the dossier proposes a prohibition of placing on the market and the use of lead and its compounds in jewellery articles if the lead migration rate is greater than 0,09 μg/cm2/h.
(3) In its opinion of 10 March 2011, the Committee for Risk Assessment (hereinafter ‘RAC’) considered that the most appropriate Union-wide measure to address the identified risks in terms of the effectiveness in reducing the risks is the prohibition of the placing on the market and use of lead and its compounds in metallic and non-metallic parts of jewellery articles, if the lead concentration is equal to or greater than 0,05 % by weight of the individual part, unless it can be demonstrated that the rate of lead released does not exceed the limit of 0,05 μg/cm2/h (0,05 μg/g/h).
(4) In its opinion of 15 September 2011, the Committee for Socio-Economic Analysis (hereinafter ‘SEAC’) considered the prohibition of the placing on the market and use of lead and its compounds in jewellery articles, if the lead concentration is equal to or greater than 0,05 % by weight of any individual part thereof. This measure was considered as the most appropriate Union-wide measure to address the identified risks in terms of the proportionality of its socioeconomic benefits to its socioeconomic costs. In view of the current non-availability of a migration testing method mimicking mouthing conditions, SEAC considered that the restriction should be based on the content of lead in any individual part of jewellery articles, and not on the migration rate of lead released from such articles. In addition, SEAC recommended exemptions to be provided for crystal glass, vitreous enamels, internal components of watch timepieces as well as non-synthetic or reconstructed precious and semiprecious stones.
(5) On 23 September 2011 the Agency submitted to the Commission the opinions of the RAC and the SEAC.
(6) Given the lack of information on the release of lead under mouthing conditions and due to the lack of suitable alternatives for all uses in crystal glass and vitreous enamels, the latter are being exempted from the present measure. Moreover SEAC recommended the exemption only for categories 1 and 2 of crystal glass (respectively ‘Full Lead Crystal’ and ‘Lead Crystal’) as defined in Annex I to Council Directive 69/493/EEC of 15 December 1969 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to crystal glass (2). However categories 3 and 4 of crystal glass (‘crystal glass, crystallin’) as defined in that Directive should also be exempted from the restriction, in order to ensure consistency with the exemption laid down in the Annex to Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (3), as amended by Commission Decision 2010/571/EU (4), and as they have a lower content of lead compared to categories 1 and 2.
(7) For the same reasons applicable to crystal glass and vitreous enamels, non-synthetic or reconstructed precious and semiprecious stones in which lead is present as a naturally occurring constituent should be exempted.
(8) Internal components of watch timepieces which are inaccessible to consumers should be exempted from the restriction, as exposure to lead from those components can be excluded.
(9) A restriction on the placing on the market of second-hand and antique jewellery would have a significant socioeconomic impact, as such items would lose their marketable value in the Union, and would pose difficulties for enforcement. Therefore, jewellery articles placed on the market for the first time up to 12 months after the entry into force of the restriction as well as imported antique jewellery articles should be exempted from the restriction.
(10) The Commission should carry out a review of the exemption of crystal, vitreous enamels and precious and semi-precious stones in the light of new available scientific information, including the migration of lead from those exempted uses, the availability of suitable alternatives as well as the development of migration test methods.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established under Article 133 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006,
Annex XVII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(3), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 411/2002(4), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provide that the difference between quotations of prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of each of those Regulations and the prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common implementing rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 740/2003(6), specifies the products for which a rate of refund should be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex B to Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Annex B to Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 as appropriate.
(3) In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question must be fixed for each month.
(4) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(5) Now that a settlement has been reached between the European Community and the United States of America on Community exports of pasta products to the United States and has been approved by Council Decision 87/482/EEC(7), it is necessary to differentiate the refund on goods falling within CN codes 1902 11 00 and 1902 19 according to their destination.
(6) Pursuant to Article 4(3) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 provides that a reduced rate of export refund has to be fixed, taking account of the amount of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93(8), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1786/2001(9), for the basic product in question, used during the assumed period of manufacture of the goods.
(7) Spirituous beverages are considered less sensitive to the price of the cereals used in their manufacture. However, Protocol 19 of the Act of Accession of the United Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark stipulates that the necessary measures must be decided to facilitate the use of Community cereals in the manufacture of spirituous beverages obtained from cereals. Accordingly, it is necessary to adapt the refund rate applying to cereals exported in the form of spirituous beverages.
(8) It is necessary to ensure continuity of strict management taking account of expenditure forecasts and funds available in the budget.
(9) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products appearing in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 and listed either in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, exported in the form of goods listed in Annex B to Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Annex B to amended Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 respectively, are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.

of 28 September 1987
amending Regulation (EEC) No 1826/84 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of vinyl acetate monomer originating in Canada
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 of 23 July 1984 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1761/87 (2), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consultations within the Advisory Committee as provided for by the above Regulation,
Whereas:
(1) In July 1983 the Commission initiated an anti-dumping proceeding concerning vinyl acetate monomer originating in Canada (3). A provisional duty was imposed in February 1984 (4). In June 1984, by Regulation (EEC) No 1826/84 (5), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of vinyl acetate monomer originating in Canada. The amount of the duty imposed was equal to the amount by which the free-at-Community-frontier net price, before duty, was less than 647 ECU per 1 000 kilogrammes.
(2) Before that, in May 1981, as regards imports of vinyl acetate monomer originating in the USA, a definitive anti-dumping duty had been imposed and an undertaking had been accepted. These measures were due to expire in 1986. In November and December 1985 the Commission gave notice of the impending expiry of the undertaking (6) and the duty (7) concerning vinyl acetate monomer imports originating in the USA, pursuant to Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84.
Subsequently, the Commission received a review request from the Conseil Européen des Fédérations de l'Industrie Chimique (CEFIC) representing the totality of Community production of the product concerned.
In July 1986 the Commission, having decided that there was sufficient evidence to warrant a review, published a notice of re-opening (8) of the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of vinyl acetate monomer falling within subheading ex 29.14 A II c) 1 of the Common Customs Tariff, corresponding to NIMEXE code 29.14-32, originating in the United States of America, and commenced an investigation.
(3) This investigation of dumping and prices on the Community market covered the period 1 January to 30 June 1986.
It was established that there was still dumping and that this led to injury to the Community industry. Subsequently, anti-dumping duties were imposed on vinyl acetate monomer originating in the United States of America (9).
(4) In the meantime, in June 1986, Celanese Canada requested a review of the anti-dumping measures currently in force with respect to vinyl acetate monomer originating in Canada on the grounds of changed circumstances within the meaning of Article 14 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84. Celanese Canada argued that the costs of making these products had declined significantly since the duty was imposed; as the floor price for the duty against Canadian vinyl acetate monomer was based on the market price needed by Community producers to cover full cost plus profit, Celanese took the view that it should be reduced to correspond to the present cost situation.
Celanese Canada neither questioned nor sought a review of the dumping margin established in the earlier proceeding.
(5) The Commission has accordingly proceeded to a limited review of the anti-dumping measure in force vis-à-vis the exporter concerned without a re-opening of the investigation in accordance with Article 14 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84. The data available from the injury investigation concerning vinyl acetate monomer originating in the United States of America have been used; the conclusions drawn from these data as to injury caused by imports of vinyl acetate monomer originating in the United States apply to the case of imports from Canada.
It was established that due to developments in costs, a downward adjustment of the minimum price was warranted.
Having compared the Community producers' weighted average prices and costs, taking into account their profit situation, with the sole importer's costs and profit, it has been concluded that the definitive anti-dumping duty should be the amount by which the free-at-Community-frontier net price, before duty, is less than 525 ECU per 1 000 kilogrammes for vinyl acetate monomer,
In Article 1 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1826/84, '647 ECU per 1 000 kilograms' shall be replaced by '525 ECU per 1 000 kilograms'.
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 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 of 17 December 1999 on the common organisation of the market in fishery and aquaculture products(1), and in particular Article 27(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Until 31 December 2000, Article 18 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 of 17 December 1992 on the common organisation of the market in fishery and aquaculture products(2), which was repealed by Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, provided for a compensatory allowance to be granted under certain conditions to Community tuna producer organisations for quantities of tuna delivered to the processing industry during the calendar quarter for which prices had been recorded, where both the average quarterly selling price recorded on the Community market and the free-at-frontier price plus any applicable countervailing charge were lower than 91 % of the Community producer price for the product concerned.
(2) An examination of the situation on the Community market in the year 2000 has shown that between 1 October and 31 December of that year both the average quarterly selling price and the free-at-frontier price as referred to in Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 for yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) weighing not more than 10 kg each, bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) and skipjack or stripe-bellied bonito (Euthynnus (Katsuwonus) pelamis) were lower than 91 % of the Community producer price in force, as laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 2748/1999(3).
(3) The conditions laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 should be retained in order to take a decision on granting the compensatory allowance on the products in question for the period from 1 October to 31 December 2000.
(4) Entitlement to the compensatory allowance should be determined on the basis of sales covered by invoices bearing a date falling within the quarter concerned and which have been used to calculate the average monthly selling price referred to in Article 7(1)(b) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2210/93(4), which was repealed with effect from 1 January 2001 by Regulation (EC) No 80/2001(5).
(5) The level of the compensation provided for in Article 18(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 may not in any case exceed either the difference between the triggering threshold and the average selling price of the product in question on the Community market or a flat-rate amount equivalent to 12 % of that threshold.
(6) The quantities on which compensation as provided for in Article 18(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 is payable may under no circumstances exceed the limits laid down in paragraph 3 of that Article for the quarter concerned.
(7) The quantities of bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) and skipjack or stripe-bellied bonito (Euthynnus (Katsuwonus) pelamis) sold and delivered to the processing industry established in the customs territory of the Community were higher during the quarter concerned than the quantities sold and delivered during the same quarter of the three previous fishing years. Since those quantities exceed the limit set in Article 27(3) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, the total quantities of those products on which compensation is payable should therefore be limited.
(8) In accordance with the ceilings laid down in Article 18(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 for the purpose of calculating the allowance to be granted to each producer organisation, the quantities on which the allowance is payable should be allocated among the producer organisations concerned in proportion to the quantities produced by them in the same quarter of the 1997, 1998 and 1999 fishing years.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,
The compensatory allowance to producer organisations for tuna delivered to the processing industry shall be granted for the period from 1 October to 31 December 2000 in respect of the following products:
>TABLE>
1.
>TABLE>

| COMMISSION DECISION
of 27 April 1988
authorizing the Kingdom of Spain to permit temporarily the marketing of cotton seed not complying with the requirements of Council Directive 69/208/EEC
(88/278/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 69/208/EEC of 30 June 1969 on the marketing of seed of oil and fibre plants (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 87/480/EEC (2), and in particular Article 16 thereof,
Having regard to the request made by the Kingdom of Spain,
Whereas in Spain the production of cotton seed complying with the requirements of Directive 69/208/EEC has been insufficient in 1987 and is not adequate to supply the needs of that country;
Whereas it has not been possible to cover these needs sufficiently with seed from other Member States, or from third countries, meeting all the requirements laid down in the said Directive;
Whereas the Kingdom of Spain should therefore be authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 31 May 1988, the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species of the category 'certified seed of the second generation' subject to less stringent requirements;
Whereas it also appears desirable to authorize other Member States which are able to supply the Kingdom of Spain with such seed not complying with the requirements of the said Directive to permit the marketing of such seed, provided that it is intended exclusively for Spain;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
The Kingdom of Spain is authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 31 May 1988, the marketing in its territory of a maximum of 400 tonnes of cotton seed (Gossypium spp.) of the category 'certified seed of the second generation' which do not satisfy the requirements laid down in Annex II to Directive 69/208/EEC with regard to the minimum germination capacity, provided that the following requirements are satisfied:
(a) the germination capacity is at least 70 % of pure seed;
(b) the official label shall bear the following endorsements:
- 'minimum germination capacity 70 %',
- 'Intended exclusively for Spain'.
The other Member States are authorized to permit, subject to the conditions laid down in Article 1, the marketing in their territories of a maximum of 400 tonnes of cotton seed, provided that such seed is intended exclusively for Spain. The official label shall bear the endorsements referred to in Article 1 (b).
The Member States shall notify the Commission before 31 July 1988 of the quantities of seed marketed in their territories pursuant to this Decision. The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
By way of derogation from Articles 2 and 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 3418/82, for the period to 31 January 1989 the intervention agencies shall sell oilseeds in their possession to any purchaser offering at least the buying-in price in force at the time of withdrawal of the goods from intervention, plus 1 ECU per 100 kilograms.
