THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2004/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004 on the limitation of emissions of volatile organic compounds due to the use of organic solvents in certain paints and varnishes and vehicle refinishing products and amending Directive 1999/13/EC (1), and in particular Article 11 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The analytical methods set out in Annex III to Directive 2004/42/EC should be used to determine, for the products contained in Annex I to the Directive, compliance with the limits for the maximum permitted content of volatile organic compounds (hereinafter, ‘VOC’) set out in Annex II to the Directive. Those methods should be adapted to technical progress.
(2) The ISO method 11890-2 was revised by the International Standards Organization in 2006 and the new version should be integrated into Annex III to Directive 2004/42/EC.
(3) ISO method 11890-2 states that where reactive diluents are not part of the formulation of the product and where the VOC content is equal to or greater than 15 % by mass, the simpler and less expensive ISO method 11890-1 is an acceptable alternative. That method should, therefore, be permitted by Directive 2004/42/EC so as to reduce the testing costs for the Member States and economic operators affected by that Directive.
(4) Directive 2004/42/EC should be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee referred to in Article 12(3) of Directive 2004/42/EC,
Annex III to Directive 2004/42/EC is replaced by the Annex to this Directive.

After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. REQUESTS PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 3 OF REGULATION (EC) No 88/97
(1) After the entry into force of Regulation (EC) No 88/97 a number of bicycle assemblers submitted requests pursuant to Article 3 of that Regulation for exemption from the extension to imports of certain bicycle parts from the People's Republic of China by Council Regulation (EC) No 71/97 (hereinafter referred to as 'the extended anti-dumping duty`) of the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed on bicycles originating in the People's Republic of China by Regulation (EEC) No 2474/93. The Commission published in the Official Journal of the European Communities a list of applicants (5) for which payment of the extended anti-dumping duty in respect of their imports of essential bicycle parts declared for free circulation was suspended pursuant to Article 5(1) of that Regulation.
(2) The Commission requested and received the necessary information from the parties listed in the Annex to this Decision and found their requests admissible pursuant to Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 88/97. The information provided was examined and verified where necessary at the premises of the parties concerned.
(3) The facts as finally ascertained by the Commission show that the assembly operations of the applicants concerned do not fall within the scope of Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96. It was found that for all the applicants' bicycle assembly operations, the value of the parts originating in the People's Republic of China which were used in their assembly operations was lower than 60 % of the total value of the parts used in these assembly operations. In addition, for some of them, the value-added to the parts brought in exceeded 25 % of the manufacturing costs of the finished bicycles.
(4) For the above reasons, and in accordance with Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) 88/97, the parties listed in the Annex to this Decision should be exempted from the extended anti-dumping duty. The parties concerned were informed accordingly and given an opportunity to comment.
(5) In accordance with Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 88/97 the parties listed in the Annex to this Decision should be exempted from the extended anti-dumping duty as from the date of receipt of their request and their customs debt in respect of the extended anti-dumping duty is to be considered void as from that date.
B. INFORMATION TO INTERESTED PARTIES
(6) Following the adoption of this Decision, an updated list of parties exempted pursuant to Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 88/97 and of parties whose requests pursuant to Article 3 of that Regulation are under examination should be published in the 'C` series of the Official Journal of the European Communities in accordance with Article 16(2) of that Regulation,
The parties listed in the Annex to this Decision are hereby exempted from the extension by Regulation (EC) No 71/97, of the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 2474/93 on bicycles originating in the People's Republic of China, to imports of certain bicycle parts from the People's Republic of China.
The exemptions shall take effect in relation to each party as from the relevant date shown in the column headed 'Date of effect`.

Having regard to Directive 2006/21/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2006 on the management of waste from extractive industries and amending Directive 2004/35/EC (1), and in particular Article 22(1)(f) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 3(3) of Directive 2006/21/EC provides for a definition of inert waste.
(2) The purpose of complementing the definition of inert waste is to establish clear criteria and conditions under which waste from extractive industries can be considered as inert waste.
(3) To minimise the administrative burden linked with the implementation of this Decision, it is appropriate from a technical point of view to exempt from specific testing those wastes for which existing relevant information is available, and to allow Member States to establish lists of waste material which could be considered as inert in accordance with the criteria set out in the present Decision.
(4) In order to ensure the quality and the representativity of the information used, this Decision should be applied in the framework of the waste characterisation carried out in accordance with Commission Decision 2009/360/EC (2) and should be based on the same sources of information.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 18 of Directive 2006/12/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3),
1. Waste shall be considered as being inert waste, within the meaning of Article 3(3) of Directive 2006/21/EC, where all of the following criteria, are fulfilled in both the short and the long term:
(a) the waste will not undergo any significant disintegration or dissolution or other significant change likely to cause any adverse environmental effect or harm human health;
(b) the waste has a maximum content of sulphide sulphur of 0,1 %, or the waste has a maximum content of sulphide sulphur of 1 % and the neutralising potential ratio, defined as the ratio between the neutralising potential and the acid potential, and determined on the basis of a static test prEN 15875 is greater than 3;
(c) the waste presents no risk of self-combustion and will not burn;
(d) the content of substances potentially harmful to the environment or human health in the waste, and in particular As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Hg, Mo, Ni, Pb, V and Zn, including in any fine particles alone of the waste, is sufficiently low to be of insignificant human and ecological risk, in both the short and the long term.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 42 and 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 (2), provides for the application of extraordinary set-aside by producers benefiting from the general scheme of compensation in order to bring the production of arable crops down to a level in line with the outlets for those products, taking account of a basic set-aside requirement;
Whereas areas voluntarily set aside over and above the requirement for compulsory set-aside contribute to the control of arable crop production; whereas, however, areas voluntarily set aside do not ensure a reduction in production comparable to the reduction resulting from compulsory set-aside; whereas, therefore, account should be taken of this fact by deducting, for the purposes of calculating extraordinary set-aside, only part of the areas voluntarily set aside;
Whereas voluntary set-aside is not always distinguished from compulsory set-aside in aid application forms; whereas the Member States must take the necessary measures to obtain data concerning the areas set aside under voluntary set-aside; whereas time should be allowed for this adjustment;
Whereas exceptional climatic conditions may have the effect of lowering average yields and be the reason for the base areas being exceeded; whereas, in those circumstances, it would be fair to exempt the regions affected partially or totally from extraordinary set-aside;
Whereas the present situation on the market for arable crops is such that an overshoot in the regional base area by less than 1 % may be regarded as de minimis; whereas in such a situation the penalty laid down in the second indent of Article 2 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 should not be applied;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to amend Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92;
Whereas in Austria before accession durum wheat was cultivated over relatively limited areas; whereas that production, which is well established in certain regions, represents an important part of the cereal economy of those regions; whereas it is therefore desirable to protect that production by paying a supplement,
Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Article 2, paragraph 6 shall be replaced by the following:
'6. In the case of a regional base area, and when the sum of the individual areas for which aid is claimed under the arable producers' scheme, including the set-aside provided for under that scheme, land counted as being set-aside pursuant to Article 7 (2) and by virtue of the scheme to set-aside land in accordance with Council Regulation (EEC) No 2328/91 of 15 July 1991 on improving the efficiency of agricultural structures (*), is in excess of the regional base area, the following will be applied in the region in question:
- during the same marketing year, the eligible area per farmer will be reduced proportionately for all the aids granted under this Title,
- in the following marketing year, producers in the general scheme will be required to make, without compensation, a special set-aside. The percentage rate for extraordinary set-aside shall be equal to the percentage by which the regional base area is exceeded, established by deducting 85 % of the area set aside under voluntary set-aside in accordance with Article 7 (6). This shall be additional to the set-aside requirement given in Article 7.
In the event that exceptional climatic conditions have affected production in a marketing year, or it is found that the regional base area has been exceeded, which have had the effect of lowering average yields to a level considerably below the normal and of causing the excess in question, the Commission may, pursuant to the procedure laid down in Article 23 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, exempt the regions affected totally or partially from the extraordinary set-aside.
However, if the excess in the regional base area leads to a level of extraordinary set-aside being applied in respect of the 1996 harvest below 1 %, the extraordinary set-aside shall not be applied.
Areas which are the subject of a special set-aside in accordance with the second indent of the first subparagraph shall not be taken into account in applying this paragraph.
` 2. In Article 4 (5) the following subparagraph shall be added:
'In Austria, the aid referred to in the first subparagraph shall be granted up to a maximum of 5 000 ha in regions where production of that crop is well established.`
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
(1) shall apply for the purposes of deducting voluntary set-aside when calculating the percentage of extraordinary set-aside to be carried out as a result of applications for compensation submitted as from the 1996/97 marketing year. However, provided a Member State communicates to the Commission detailed information on the areas voluntarily set aside in light of the 1995 harvest, the Commission shall authorize the said Member State to advance it by a marketing year.

Whereas:
(1) The import duties in the cereals sector are fixed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1615/2003(5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1622/2003(6).
(2) Article 2(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 provides that if during the period of application, the average import duty calculated differs by EUR 5 per tonne from the duty fixed, a corresponding adjustment is to be made. Such a difference has arisen. It is therefore necessary to adjust the import duties fixed in Regulation (EC) No 1615/2003,

Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 234 (3) 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 a feature of the Community market for apples is a certain mismatch between supply and demand; whereas this situation is causing in particular a fall in prices and major withdrawals;
Whereas market stabilization measures alone are not capable of remedying this imbalance; whereas specific measures should be taken to adapt production potential to present and foreseeable outlets for Community production;
Whereas that objective may be achieved by introducing grubbing-up premiums for a period of three years for producers who undertake to abandon production of apples other than cider apples; whereas, in order to ensure that this grubbing-up measure is effective, only producers with the most productive orchards should qualify for the premium on condition that they undertake in writing not to replant apple trees;
Whereas the premium, to be paid once only, must be determined by taking account of both the cost of grubbing-up and the loss of income;
Whereas the aim of the grubbing-up premium is to achieve the objectives laid down in Article 39 of the Treaty; whereas provision should be made for the measure to be financed
by the Guarantee Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF);
Whereas that action shall be implemented in Portugal as from this marketing year,
During the 1990/91, 1991/92 and 1992/93 marketing years, apple producers in the Community shall qualify, on application and under the conditions laid down in this Regulation, for a premium, to be paid once only, for the grubbing-up of apple trees other than cider-apple trees.
1. The premium shall be granted subject to a written undertaking by the recipient:
(a) to grub up or have grubbed up, at one time, before 1 April of a given year the whole of his apple orchard;
(b) to refrain from planting any apple trees.
2. For the purposes of this Regulation, 'apple orchard` means all parcels on the holding under apple trees less than 20 years old with a density of more than 400 trees per hectare.
The premium shall be fixed taking account in particular of grubbing-up costs and the loss of income to producers carrying out grubbing-up operations.
The Member States shall check whether recipients of the premium have fulfilled the undertakings laid down in Article 2. They shall take any further measures in particular to ensure compliance with the provisions of the premium scheme. They shall inform the Commission of the measures taken.
The measures provided for in this Regulation shall be deemed intervention intended to stabilize the agricultural markets within the meaning of Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of the Council of 21 April 1970 on the financing
of the common agricultural policy (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2048/88 (2). They shall be financed by the EAGGF Guarantee Section.
The premium shall be determined and the detailed rules for the application of this Regulation shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 33 of

31988R1969 | Council Regulation (EEC) No 1969/88 of 24 June 1988 establishing a single facility providing medium-term financial assistance for Member States' balances of payments
| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1969/88 of 24 June 1988 establishing a single facility providing medium-term financial assistance for Member States' balances of payments
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 108 and 235 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, submitted following consultation with the Monetary Committee (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas Article 108 of the Treaty provides for the granting of mutual assistance, to be decided by the Council on a recommendation from the Commission, to a Member State in difficulties or seriously threatened with difficulties as regards its balance of payments; whereas the resolution of the European Council of 5 December 1978 on the establishment of the European Monetary System (EMS) and related matters confirmed the need for a Community facility for medium-term financial assistance for balances of payments;
Whereas it should be possible for the operation of lending to a Member State to take place soon enough to encourage that Member State to adopt, in good time in a situation where orderly exchange rate conditions prevail, economic policy measures likely to prevent the occurrence of an acute balance-of-payments crisis and to support its efforts towards convergence;
Whereas each loan to a Member State must be linked to the adoption, by that Member State, of economic policy measures designed to re-establish or to ensure a sustainable balance of payments situation and adapted to the gravity of the balance of payments situation in that State and to the way in which it develops;
Whereas appropriate procedures and instruments should be provided for in advance to enable the Community and Member States to ensure that, if required, medium-term financial support is provided quickly, especially where circumstances call for immediate action;
Whereas, in order to finance support granted, the Community needs to be able to use its credit-worthiness to borrow resources that will be placed at the disposal of the Member States concerned in the form of loans; whereas operations of this kind are necessary to the achievement of the objectives of the Community as defined in the Treaty, especially the harmonious development of economic activities in the Community as a whole; whereas the Treaty has not provided the necessary powers, other than those of Article 235;
Whereas by Decision 71/143/EEC (3), as last amended by Decision 86/656/EEC (4), the Council set up machinery for providing medium-term financial assistance which was initially valid for a period of four years from 1 January 1972; whereas this machinery has since been renewed and extended, on the last occasion for two years until 31 December 1988 by Decision 86/656/EEC; whereas this machinery provides for the Member States to grant medium-term loans, within certain limits, to one or more Member States experiencing balance of payments difficulties;
Whereas, by Regulation (EEC) No 682/81 (5), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1131/85 (6), the Council adjusted a Community loan mechanism designed to support the balances of payments of the Member States; whereas this mechanism provides for the Community to contract loans, according to needs and within the limits set on outstanding borrowing, in order to on-lend the proceeds to one or more Member States experiencing balance of payments difficulties;
Whereas the Community loan mechanism has demonstrated its effectiveness; whereas its general design and the arrangements for implementing it still meet the needs of the Community; whereas, in view of the Community's borrowing capacity and of the conditions available to it for borrowing from financial institutions or on capital markets, the mechanism could constitute the main form of mutual assistance provided for under Article 108 of the Treaty; whereas the ceiling on amounts outstanding under the mechanism should be adjusted accordingly;
Whereas, however, it is appropriate that the financing obligations on Member States under the machinery for medium-term financial assistance remain in force until the final stage of the European Monetary System so as to ensure that system's cohesion and stability, irrespective of the conditions prevailing on international capital markets; whereas the present procedures for exempting a Member State from contributing or for mobilizing Member States' claims should, nevertheless, be simplified;
Whereas it is appropriate to merge medium-term financial assistance and the Community loan mechanism into a single facility for medium-term financial support,
1. A Community facility providing medium-term financial support shall be established, enabling loans to be granted to one or more Member States which are experiencing, or are seriously threatened with, difficulties in their balance of current payments or capital movements.
The outstanding amount of loans to be granted to Member States under this facility shall be limited to 16 000 million ECU in principal.
2. To this end, in accordance with a decision adopted by the Council pursuant to Article 3 and after consulting the Monetary Committee, the Commission shall be empowered, on behalf of the European Economic Community, to contract loans on the capital markets or with financial institutions.
The outstanding amount of loans so granted to Member States shall be limited to 14 000 million ECU in principal.
3. If conditions available on capital markets or with financial institutions are unsatisfactory or if the amount available under the ceiling referred to in paragraph 2 is insufficient, Community loans shall be financed in full or in part by the other Member States whose contributions in principal may not exceed the ceilings specified in the Annex.
Where a Member State proposes to call upon sources of financing, outside the Community, which are subject to economic policy requirements, it shall first consult the Commission and the other Member States in order to examine, among other things, the possibilities available under the Community facility for medium-term financial support. Such consultations shall be held within the Monetary Committee.
1. The medium-term financial support facility may be implemented by the Council on the initiative:
- of the Commission acting pursuant to Article 108 of the Treaty in agreement with the Member State seeking Community financing,
- of a Member State experiencing, or seriously threatened with, difficulties as regards its balance of current payments or capital movements.
2. The Council, after examining the situation in the Member State seeking medium-term financial assistance and the recovery or back-up programme presented in support of its application, shall decide, as a rule during the same meeting:
- whether to grant a loan or appropriate financing facility, its amount and its average duration,
- the economic policy conditions attached to the medium-term financial assistance with a view to re-establishing or ensuring a sustainable balance-of-payments situation,
- the techniques for disbursing the loan or financing facility the release or drawings of which shall as a rule be by successive instalments, the liberalization of each instalment being subject to verification of the results achieved in implementing the programme, in terms of the objectives set.
3. Any full or partial financing of medium-term financial assistance by recourse to the Member States shall be decided on by the Council. In that event the Council, in addition to taking the decisions referred to in paragraph 2, shall decide on the size of the contributions of these States and on the financial conditions attaching to the credits they make available in that connection. The Council may exempt from contributing any Member State which maintains that difficulties exist or can be foreseen as regards its balance of payments.
In cases where restrictions on capital movements are introduced or re-introduced pursuant to Article 109 of the Treaty during the term of the financial assistance, its conditions and arrangements shall be re-examined pursuant to Article 108 of the Treaty.
The Commission shall take the necessary measures to verify at regular intervals, in collaboration with the Monetary Committee, that the economic policy of the Member State in receipt of a Community loan accords with the adjustment or back-up programme and with any other conditions laid down by the Council pursuant to Article 3. To this end, the Member State shall place all the necessary information at the disposal of the Commission. On the basis of the findings of such verification, the Commission, after the Monetary Committee has delivered an opinion, shall decide on the release of further instalments.
The Council shall decide on any adjustment to be made to the initial economic policy conditions.
1. Loans granted as medium-term financial support may be granted as consolidation of short-term monetary support made available by the central banks of the Member States.
2. At the request of the beneficiary Member State, the loans referred to in paragraph 1 may carry the option of early repayment.
1. The borrowing and lending operations referred to in Article 1 shall be carried out using the same value date and must not involve the Community in the transformation of maturities, in any exchange or interest-rate risk, or in any other commerical risk.
When the borrowings are expressed, payable or repayable in the currency of a Member State, they may be concluded only after consultation with the competent authorities of that State.
Where a Member State receives a loan carrying an early repayment clause and decides to exercise this option, the Commission shall take the necessary steps.
2. At the request of the debtor Member State and where circumstances permit an improvement in the interest rate on the loans, the Commission may refinance all or part of its initial borrowings or restructure the corresponding financial conditions.
Refinancing or restructuring operations shall be carried out in accordance with the conditions set out in paragraph 1 and shall not have the effect of extending the average duration of the borrowing concerned or increasing the amount, expressed at the current exchange rate, of capital outstanding at the date of the refinancing or restructuring.
3. The costs incurred by the Community in concluding and carrying out each operation shall be borne by the beneficiary Member State.
4. The Monetary Committee shall be kept informed of developments in the operations referred to in the third subparagraph of paragraph 1 and the first subparagraph of paragraph 2.
1. If one or more Member States that are creditors under the facility referred to in Article 1 experience difficulties as regards their balance of payments and/or a sudden decline in their foreign currency reserves, they may request mobilization of their claims. The Council, having due regard to the circumstances, shall decide to mobilize such claims, in particular in accordance with one of the following procedures, or a suitable combination thereof:
- by refinancing from Community borrowings from financial institutions or on capital markets under the conditions laid down in Article 7,
- by a transfer of the claim to other creditor Member States,
- by early repayment in full or in part by the debtor Member State or States.
2. Where refinancing takes place in accordance with paragraph 1, the debtor Member State shall agree that its debt, originally denominated in one currency, shall be replaced by a debt denominated in the currency used for the refinancing. Where applicable, the debtor Member State shall bear any additional cost resulting from an alternation in the interest rate and the costs incurred by the Community in concluding and carrying out the operation.
3. Any creditor Member State may arrange with one or more other Member States for the partial or total transfer of its claims. Member States concerned shall notify the Commission and Monetary Committee of the transfer.
4. Any Member State that is a creditor in respect of a loan carrying an early repayment clause shall take the requisite steps where the debtor Member State decides to invoke this option. The Member States concerned shall notify the Commission and the Monetary Committee of the operation.
For the application of the ceilings referred to in Article 1, the loan operation shall be recorded at the exchange rate of the day on which they are concluded. The repayment operations shall be recorded at the exchange rate of the day on which the corresponding loan was concluded.
0 The Council shall adopt the decisions referred to in Articles 3, 5 and 8, acting by qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, made after consulting the Monetary Committee on the matter.
1 The European Monetary Cooperation Fund shall make the necessary arrangements for the administration of the loans.
The funds shall be paid only for the purposes indicated in Article 1.
2 Before 31 December 1992, the Council shall examine, on the basis of a report from the Commission, after the Monetary Committee has delivered an opinion and after consulting the European Parliament, whether the facility established still meets, in its principle, arrangements and ceiling, the need which led to its creation.
3 1. Regulation (EEC) No 682/81 and Decision 71/143/EEC are hereby repealed.
2. Amounts not yet repaid under outstanding Community loan operations concluded pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 682/81 before the date of entry into force of this Regulation shall count against the ceiling referred to in Article 1 (2) at their initial value in ECUs.
3. References to the instruments repealed by virtue of paragraph 1 shall be deemed to be references to this Regulation.

Whereas:
(1) An invitation to tender for the maximum reduction in the duty on maize imported into Portugal was opened pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 537/2002(3).
(2) Pursuant to Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1839/95(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2235/2000(5), the Commission, acting under the procedure laid down in Article 23 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, may decide to fix maximum reduction in the import duty.

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 proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas Articles 22 and 24 of Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 590/79 (4), provide for an intervention system for oil seeds based on a basic intervention price and derived intervention prices, the purpose of which is to ensure in particular the fluidity of the market ; whereas it appears, however, that this system is no longer required for that purpose ; whereas, moreover, there is a risk that intervention prices may be fixed at levels which do not correspond to the actual market situation and may, therefore, run counter to the purpose in view ; whereas, therefore, the system of derived intervention prices for oil seeds should be abolished and replaced by an intervention system with a single price level throughout the Community;
Whereas the difference between the target price and the intervention price should be sufficient to enable seeds to be traded freely throughout the Community under normal conditions, allowing for market fluctuations, and at the same time to enable producers to sell their seeds at a price as close as possible to the target price ; whereas, to achieve this objective, the difference in question should allow not only for transport between production and utilization areas but also for a market component;
Whereas the transition from the system of derived intervention prices to the single intervention price system should not cause the intervention prices to drop ; whereas, therefore, the new system should not be applied until the marketing year 1982/83;
Whereas, to determine the dates for the start and the end of the marketing year, account should be taken of the representative dates at the start of the colza and rape seed harvest and the sunflower seed harvest in the main production areas in the Community ; whereas this need was taken into account in the adoption of Council Regulation No 114/67/EEC of 6 June 1967 fixing target and basic intervention prices for oil seeds for the 1967/68 marketing year (5), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1335/72 (6) ; whereas that Regulation should be repealed,
Regulation No 136/66/EEC shall be amended as follows: 1. Article 22 shall be replaced by the following:
"Article 22
1. Before 1 August of each year, a target price and a basic intervention price shall be fixed for the Community for each species of oil seed.
2. Subject to Article 25, these prices shall remain in force throughout the marketing year beginning in the following year. They shall relate to a standard quality and shall be fixed at the wholesale marketing stage, ex-warehouse, not unloaded.
3. The marketing year for colza and rape seed shall begin on 1 July and end on 30 June.
The marketing year for sunflower seed shall begin on 1 September and shall end on 31 August.
4. The Council shall adopt the prices referred to in paragraph 1, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 43 (2) of the Treaty, as well as the standard quality to which these prices shall refer."

(5)OJ No 111, 30.6.1967, p. 2195/67. (6)OJ No L 147, 29.6.1972, p. 6.
2. Article 24 shall be replaced by the following:
"Article 24 1. The intervention price shall be fixed by reducing the target price: - by a component which allows for market fluctuations,
- by a component which takes account of the cost of transporting the seed from the production areas to the areas where it is used.
These two components shall be those which apply in the case of a normal harvest.
2. The intervention centres shall be determined, after consultation with the Member States concerned, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 38."
By way of derogation from Article 24 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, for the 1980/81 and 1981/82 marketing years, the basic intervention prices and the derived intervention prices shall be fixed at levels permitting a smooth transition to the intervention price system applying from the 1982/83 marketing year.
Regulation No 114/67/EEC is hereby repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Whereas the present list should be amended by the Commission in the light of the situation obtaining with regard to animal health in the various countries or parts thereof and in particular in the light of the criteria set out in Article 3 (2) of Directive 72/462/EEC;
Whereas Member States are authorized to import fresh meat of wild cloven-hoofed animals from, inter alia, certain African countries;

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2202/96 of 28 October 1996 introducing a Community aid scheme for producers of certain citrus fruits (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2202/96 establishes a Community processing threshold for certain citrus fruits, distributed among the Member States in accordance with Annex II thereto.
(2) Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2202/96 provides that when this threshold is overrun the amounts of aid indicated in Annex I thereto are to be reduced in each Member State in which the threshold has been overrun. The overrun of the processing threshold is assessed on the basis of the average quantities processed under the aid scheme during the three marketing years preceding the marketing year for which the aid is to be fixed, or during an equivalent period.
(3) The Member States have communicated the quantities of oranges processed under the aid scheme in accordance with Article 39(1)(c) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2111/2003 (2), which lays down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 2202/96. Based on this information, it has been established that the Community processing threshold has been overrun by 100 380 tonnes. Within that overrun, Greece, Italy and Portugal have overrun their threshold. The amounts of aid for oranges indicated in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2202/96 for the 2004/05 marketing year should therefore be reduced by 0,64 % in Greece, 14,95 % in Italy and 0,29 % in Portugal.
(4) The Member States have communicated the quantities of grapefruit and pomelos processed under the aid scheme in accordance with Article 39(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 2111/2003.

The amounts of aid for grapefruit and pomelos indicated in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2202/96 for the 2004/05 marketing year should therefore be reduced by 7,00 % in Greece and 16,45 % in Spain.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
Where Greece, Italy and Portugal are concerned, and for the 2004/05 marketing year, the amounts of aid to be granted under Regulation (EC) No 2202/96 for oranges delivered for processing shall be as indicated in Annex I to this Regulation.
Where Greece and Spain are concerned, and for the 2004/05 marketing year, the amounts of aid to be granted under Regulation (EC) No 2202/96 for grapefruit and pomelos delivered for processing shall be as indicated in Annex II to this Regulation.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular the first subparagraph of paragraph (f) of Section B of Chapter 4 of Annex VI thereto,
Whereas:
(1) Bulgaria has been granted transitional periods by the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania for compliance by certain milk processing establishments with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (1).
(2) The Appendix to Annex VI to the Act of Accession has been amended by Commission Decisions 2007/26/EC (2), 2007/689/EC (3), 2008/209/EC (4), 2008/331/EC (5), 2008/547/EC (6), 2008/672/EC (7) and 2008/827/EC (8).
(3) Bulgaria has provided guarantees that four milk processing establishments have completed their upgrading process and are now in full compliance with Community legislation.

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 organization of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the arrangements for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice(3) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the amount of such refunds.
(3) That calculation must also take account of the cereal products content. In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of "cereal products", namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for "other cereals", these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.
(4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.
(5) However, in fixing the rate of refund it would seem advisable to base it at this time on the difference in the cost of raw inputs widely used in compound feedingstuffs as the Community and world markets, allowing more accurate account to be taken of the commercial conditions under which such products are exported.
(6) The refund must be fixed once a month; whereas it may be altered in the intervening period.
(7) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 13 June 2003.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the market in sugar(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1148/98(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 of 23 June 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for imports of molasses in the sugar sector and amending Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(3), and in particular Articles 1 (2) and 3 (1) thereof,
(1) Whereas Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 stipulates that the cif import price for molasses, hereinafter referred to as the "representative price", should be set in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(4); whereas that price should be fixed for the standard quality defined in Article 1 of the above Regulation;
(2) Whereas the representative price for molasses is calculated at the frontier crossing point into the Community, in this case Amsterdam; whereas that price must be based on the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market established on the basis of the quotations or prices on that market adjusted for any deviations from the standard quality; whereas the standard quality for molasses is defined in Regulation (EEC) No 785/68;
(3) Whereas, when the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market are being established, account must be taken of all available information on offers on the world market, on the prices recorded on important third-country markets and on sales concluded in international trade of which the Commission is aware, either directly or through the Member States; whereas, under Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68, the Commission may for this purpose take an average of several prices as a basis, provided that this average is representative of actual market trends;

(5) Whereas, if information on molasses of the standard quality is to be comparable, prices must, depending on the quality of the molasses offered, be increased or reduced in the light of the results achieved by applying Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68;
(6) Whereas a representative price may be left unchanged by way of exception for a limited period if the offer price which served as a basis for the previous calculation of the representative price is not available to the Commission and if the offer prices which are available and which appear not to be sufficiently representative of actual market trends would entail sudden and considerable changes in the representative price;

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the first paragraph of Article 115 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Decision 80/47/EEC of 20 December 1979, on surveillance and protective measures which Member States may be authorized to take in respect of imports of certain products originating in third countries and put into free circulation in another Member State (1), and in particular Articles 2 and 3 thereof,
Whereas the United Kingdom Government has submitted an application to the Commission of the European Communities for authorization under the first paragraph of Article 115 of the Treaty to apply surveillance and immediate protective measures to television receivers falling within Common Customs Tariff subheading 85.15 A III b) ex 2, originating in the People's Republic of China and put into free circulation in the other Member States;
Whereas imports into the United Kingdom of such products originating in the People's Republic of China are subject to quantitative restrictions under Council Regulation (EEC) No 3420/83 (2), whereas under those arrangements the United Kingdom opened in 1986 a quota of 10 000 sets for the period 1 July to 31 December of that year; whereas that quota has been allocated in its entirety;
Whereas, as a result, there are differences in the conditions governing the import of the products in question into the different Member States and those differences may cause deflections of trade likely to lead to economic difficulties for the sector concerned;
Whereas the information which the Commission has received on the situation in the sector concerned shows imports of such products originating in third countries to have fallen from 1 497 000 sets in 1984 to 1 201 000 in 1985, but to have increased to 1 500 000 during the first nine months of 1986; whereas of such imports, those from China amounted during those nine months to 1 233 sets;
Whereas national output of the products concerned increased from 2 592 000 sets in 1984 to 2 815 000 in 1985 and, on an initial estimate, will fall to 2 500 000 in 1986;
Whereas the United Kingdom authorities have pointed out that their national industry has undergone thorough restructuring in order to overcome the crisis which affected it in the late 1970s; whereas between 1984 and 1986 this restructuring led to considerable loss of employment, the number of those working in the sector falling from 13 700 to 11 000;
Whereas, according to the Commission's information, a major portion of United Kingdom production is made up of small-screen television sets, production of which increased from 655 000 in 1984 to 1 945 000 in 1985, amounting to approximately 790 000 for the first nine months of 1986;
Whereas the United Kingdom authorities have informed the Commission that a major import flow into the United Kingdom of small-screen television sets originating in the People's Republic of China and put into free circulation in another Member State is beginning to emerge;
Whereas, therefore, in view of the possibility of this flow unexpectedly increasing to a large extent, the United Kingdom should be authorized, in accordance with Article 2 of Decision 80/47/EEC, to make imports of the products concerned originating in China subject to prior intra-Community surveillance, in order that any dangerous trend may quickly be detected;
Whereas available information on the economic situation of the sector concerned, especially that concerning the trends in production and imports, and in particular imports form China, whether direct or through other Member States, does not show at this stage that the conditions laid down in Article 3 of Decision 80/47/EEC for the application of protective measures under Article 115, forbidding the import of television sets originating in China and put into free circulation in the other Member States, are met,
The United Kingdom is authorized to introduce, until 31 December 1987 and in accordance with Article 2 of Decision 80/47/EEC, intra-Community surveillance of the products listed below, originating in the People's Republic of China and put into free circulation in the other Member States:

| COMMISSION DECISION of 1 July 1993 accepting a modified version of the undertaking offered by the Royal Thai Government in connection with the countervailing duty proceeding concerning imports of ball bearings with a greatest external diameter not exceeding 30 mm, originating in Thailand
(93/381/EEC)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Articles 10 and 14 thereof,
After consultations within the Advisory Committee as provided for under the above Regulation,
Whereas:
A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE (1) In June 1988 the Commission initiated an anti-subsidy proceeding concerning of certain ball bearings originating in Thailand (2), following a complaint lodged by the Federation of European Bearing Manufacturers' Associations (Febma). The product has been defined as ball bearings with a greatest external diameter not exceeding 30 mm (hereafter referred to as 'ball bearings') originating in Thailand.
(2) The Commission found that the above imports were being subsidized and were causing material injury to the Community industry. In the light of those findings, the Royal Thai Government offered an undertaking to eliminate the effect of the subsidy. The undertaking involved the levying of an export tax of Baht 1,76, equivalent to the amount of countervailable subsidy found, for each ball bearing exported to the Community.
(3) In June 1990, by Decision 90/266/EEC (3), the Commission accepted the undertaking offered and terminated the investigation.
B. DEVELOPMENTS SINCE ACCEPTANCE OF UNDERTAKING (4) Subsequent verifications carried out by the Commission demonstrated that both the Royal Thai Government and the exporters located in Thailand have complied with the terms of the undertaking. In particular, the export tax was being collected on all ball bearings of Thai origin which are exported direct from Thailand to the Community.
(5) However, notwithstanding the above, it came to the notice of the Commission that certain ball bearings manufactured in Thailand, exported to independent customers in a third country, were subsequently re-shipped to the Community. Since the original destination of those exports was not the Community, export tax was not collected by the Thai authorities on such indirect imports.
C. REOPENING OF INVESTIGATION (6) Since it had become apparent that a review of Decision 90/266/EEC was warranted, the Commission, after consultation, reopened the investigation with a view to considering the imposition of a countervailing duty on imports of all ball bearings originating in Thailand on which no export tax had been levied in order to eliminate fully the injurious effect of the subsidy on the Community industry. Since a new investigation was necessary for this purpose, the Commission decided to recalculate, at the same time, the amount of export tax required to eliminate the effect of the subsidy.
(7) In July 1992 the Commission announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (4), the reopening of the investigation in the countervailing duty proceeding concerning imports into the Community of ball bearings with external diameter not exceeding 30 mm. The product concerned corresponds to CN code 8482 10 10.
(8) The Commission officially advised the Royal Thai Government, the exporters and importers known to be concerned, as well as the complainant in the original investigation (Febma) and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing. The Royal Thai Government, the exporters located in Thailand and the Community producers, represented by Febma, made their views known in writing.
(9) The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed to be necessary for the purposes of a determination and carried out an investigation at the premises of the following:
(a) Royal Thai Government
Department of Foreign Trade, Bangkok,
Board of Investment, Bangkok;
(b) Thai exporters
NMB Thai Ltd, Ayutthaya, Thailand,
Pelmec Thai Ltd, Bang Pa-In, Thailand,
NMB Hi-Tech Ltd, Bang Pa-In, Thailand.
All these companies are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Minebea Co. Ltd, Japan
D. RESULT OF REVIEW INVESTIGATION AS REGARDS INDIRECT IMPORTS (10) In March 1993, the Commission, by Regulation (EEC) No 527/93 (5), imposed a provisional countervailing duty of 13,4 % on imports of ball bearings originating in Thailand but not directly exported from that country. The purpose of the duty is to prevent further injury to the Community industry during the proceeding by imports which avoid the export tax, pending the completion of the Commission's recalculation of the subsidy amount.
E. RESULT OF REVIEW INVESTIGATION AS REGARDS THE AMOUNT OF SUBSIDY (11) The Royal Thai Government and the exporters made submissions with regard to the amount of countervailable subsidy granted during a period of one year immediately prior to the initiation of the review. The Commission's investigation revealed that the situation was as follows:
(a) Rebate of indirect taxes on domestically purchased inputs; electricity rebates for exporters
(12) It was established that the two abovementioned rebates, which had been found during the original investigation to be countervailable export subsidies were no longer available to the exporters. There are consequently no subsidies granted under these headings.
(b) Exemption from corporate income tax
(13) The certificates of promotion issued to NMB Thai and Pelmec Thai continue to exempt those companies from corporate income tax under the same conditions as are described in Decision 90/266/EEC.
NMB Hi-Tech, which had not yet begun production during the original investigation period, is a related company to NMB Thai and Pelmec Thai and receives certificates of promotion on a similar basis to these two companies, also entitling it to complete exemption from corporate income tax.
(14) The Commission is satisfied that the corporate income tax exemption remains a countervailable subsidy for all exporters.
(c) Customs duty and indirect tax exemption on imports of machinery and essential materials
(15) The certificates of promotion issued to NMB Thai and Pelmec Thai continue to confer exemption from the payment of customs duty on imports of machinery and essential materials under the same conditions as are described in Decision 90/266/EEC. NMB Hi-Tech also benefits from such an exemption, as it receives certificates of promotion on a similar basis to NMB Thai and Pelmec Thai. The Commission is satisfied that the exemption from customs duty on machinery and essential materials remains a countervailable subsidy for all exporters.
(16) In the original investigation, the Commission determined that the exemption from payment of business tax and municipal tax on imported machinery and essential materials was a countervailable subsidy.
On 1 January 1992 Thailand abolished the business and municipal tax and replaced it with value-added tax on their imports of essential materials and, following a period of transition, will shortly begin paying it on imported machinery.
The value-added tax system in Thailand operates in a similar way to that of the Community, and in particular, is neutral in its effect as regards domestic and export sales.
In those circumstances, the Commission concludes that, as a result of the abolition of the business tax and municipal tax, there is no longer an element of countervailable subsidy in respect of the exemption from payment of those taxes.
(d) Calculation of subsidy amount
(17) The amount of countervailable subsidy was calculated using the method employment in Decision 90/266/EEC. On this basis, the value of the subsidies was as follows (in million baht):
- corporate income tax exemption: 373,
- import duty exemption: 352,
- total amount of subsidy: 725.
(18) When expressed as an amount per ball bearing exported from Thailand, and then weighted according to the relative volume of exports of each Thai producer to the Community, the subsidy is equivalent to Baht 0,91 per piece.
(19) The Royal Thai Government, the exporters and the complainant in the original investigation were all informed of the facts on which those findings had been based, and were granted an opportunity to comment.
F. MODIFICATION OF UNDERTAKING (20) The Royal Thai Government has offered the Commission a modified undertaking in which the rate of the export tax levied on ball bearings exported to the European Community has been adjusted to Baht 0,91 per unit. The Commission is satisfied in view of its findings that this rate is sufficient to continue to eliminate the effect of the subsidy, and therefore accepts this modified version of the undertaking offered by the Royal Thai Government.
(21) The modified version of the undertaking applies only to ball bearings of Thai origin exported direct from Thailand to the Community. Ball bearings of Thai origin imported into the Community via third countries will be subject to the definitive countervailing duty of 6,7 % imposed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1781/93 (6) in order to safeguard the effectiveness of the undertaking and to prevent the evasion of the export tax as referred to in recital 5.
(22) The proposal met with no objection from the Advisory Committee,
A modified version of the undertaking given by the Royal Thai Government in connection with the countervailing duty preceeding concerning imports of ball bearings with a greatest external diameter not exceeding 30 mm originating in Thailand is hereby accepted. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas Spain has asked the Commission to adjust the maximum annual fishing effort, for 1997, granted to its vessels by transferring part of the fixed gear effort to towed gear in the case of fishing directed at demersal species so that vessels flying the Spanish flag are able to fish certain quotas which are allocated pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 390/97 of 20 December 1996 fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1997 and certain conditions under which they may be fished (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1974/97 (4);
Whereas this transfer of fishing effort involves only a simple adjustment which does not alter the existing balance and enables the effort levels allocated initially to be adjusted to the current situation of the fleet, and fishing activity to be diversified to include other demersal species;
Whereas this Regulation must enter into force immediately in order to allow Spain to make better use of its quotas to supply the market during the period for which they are valid;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,
The maximum annual fishing effort for the Kingdom of Spain in respect of demersal species using towed and passive gear respectively, as referred to in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2027/95, is amended, for 1997, as laid down in the Annex hereto.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Decision No 676/2002/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on a regulatory framework for radio spectrum policy in the European Community (Radio Spectrum Decision) (1), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2008/294/EC (2) sets in its Annex technical and operational conditions necessary to allow the use of GSM on board aircraft.
(2) The development of enhanced means of communications supported by technical progress would improve the capacity for all citizens to be connected everywhere and at all time. It would also contribute to fulfilling the objectives of the Digital Agenda for Europe (3) and of the Europe 2020 strategy.
(3) In order to prepare for the use of the latest available technologies and frequencies for the provision of MCA services, the Commission gave a mandate on 5 October 2011 to the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (‘the CEPT’) pursuant to Article 4(2) of Decision No 676/2002/EC to assess technical compatibility between the operation of airborne UMTS systems and other feasible airborne technologies such as LTE or WiMax in frequency bands such as the 2 GHz and the 2,6 GHz band, and potentially affected radio services.
(4) Pursuant to that mandate, the CEPT provided its report on 8 March 2013. The CEPT Report 48 concluded that it would be possible to introduce, subject to the relevant technical conditions, UMTS and LTE technologies in the 2 100 MHz and 1 800 MHz bands, respectively. Therefore, the Annex to Decision 2008/294/EC should be amended, based on the results of the CEPT Report 48, to include these technologies and allow their use on board aircraft.
(5) This Decision should apply as soon as possible considering the increasing use of LTE and UMTS technologies in the Union.
(6) An appropriate protection by limiting the transmission power of the MCA services should be provided to existing potentially affected radio services. However, since the use of the upgraded network control unit (NCU) for the 2,6 GHz band would be delayed until the technical constraints are agreed by the competent aeronautical certification authorities to allow the start of the production of the NCUs and until airworthiness certification has been completed for each type of aircraft, the application of the NCU parameters for the 2,6 GHz band could be postponed until 1 January 2017.
(7) MCA technical specifications should continue to match technological progress.
(8) Decision 2008/294/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Radio Spectrum Committee,
The Annex to Decision 2008/294/EC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
The values for the band 2 570-2 690 MHz set in Table 3 of the Annex to this Decision shall apply from 1 January 2017.
As early as possible, and no later than six months following the entry into force of this Decision, the Member States shall make the frequency bands listed in Table 1 in the Annex available for MCA services on a non-interference and non-protected basis, provided such services meet the conditions set out in the Annex.
The Member States shall set the minimum height above ground for any transmission from an MCA system in operation in accordance with Section 3 of the Annex.
Member States may impose greater minimum heights of MCA operation where justified by national topographical and ground network deployment conditions. This information, supported by appropriate justification, shall be notified to the Commission within four months of adoption of this Decision and shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Whereas:
(1) Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1878/2001 of 26 September 2001 laying down transitional measures in connection with the compensation system for storage costs for sugar(4), lays down that Article 8 of Council Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 of 13 September 1999 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(5), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1527/2000(6), will continue to apply to sugars carried forward from the 2000/01 marketing year to the 2001/02 marketing year.
(2) Article 1(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1713/93 provides that the amount of the reimbursement of storage costs referred to in Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 is to be converted into national currency using a specific agricultural conversion rate equal to the average, calculated pro rata temporis, of the agricultural conversion rates applicable during the month of storage. That specific rate must be fixed each month for the previous month. However, in the case of the reimbursable amounts applying from 1 January 1999, as a result of the introduction of the agrimonetary arrangements for the euro from that date, the fixing of the conversion rate should be limited to the specific exchange rates prevailing between the euro and the national currencies of the Member States that have not adopted the single currency.
(3) Application of these provisions will lead to the fixing, for March 2002, of the specific exchange rate for the amount of the reimbursement of storage costs in the various national currencies as indicated in the Annex to this Regulation,
The specific exchange rate to be used for converting the amount of the reimbursement of the storage costs referred to in Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 into national currency for March 2002 shall be as indicated in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 4 April 2002.

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Interinstitutional Agreement between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial management (1), and in particular point 28 thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 on establishing the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (2), and in particular Article 12(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) was established to provide additional support for workers made redundant as a result of major structural changes in world trade patterns due to globalisation and to assist them with their reintegration into the labour market.
(2) The scope of the EGF was broadened, for applications submitted from 1 May 2009 to 30 December 2011, to include support for workers made redundant as a direct result of the global financial and economic crisis.
(3) The Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 allows the mobilisation of the EGF within the annual ceiling of EUR 500 million.
(4) Spain submitted an application on 28 December 2011 to mobilise the EGF in respect of redundancies in 377 enterprises operating in the NACE Revision 2 Division 41 (‘Construction of buildings’) in the NUTS II region of Aragón (ES24) and supplemented it by additional information up to 23 March 2012. This application complies with the requirements for determining the financial contributions as laid down in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006. The Commission, therefore, proposes to mobilise an amount of EUR 1 300 000.
(5) The EGF should, therefore, be mobilised in order to provide a financial contribution for the application submitted by Spain,
For the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2012, the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund shall be mobilised to provide the sum of EUR 1 300 000 in commitment and payment appropriations.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 of 24 February 1986 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1032/95 (2), and in particular Article 9 (2) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2405/89 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1032/95, lays down detailed rules for the application of the system of import licences and advance fixing certificates for products processed from fruit and vegetables; whereas, as a result of the amendment to Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 by Council Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 (4) on the adjustments and transitional arrangements required in the agriculture sector in order to implement the agreements concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations, the system of advance fixing should be abolished and certain amendments should be made accordingly to the rules on import licences in the light of experience, while keeping the basic features of the existing system unchanged; whereas, for similar reasons, Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3518/86 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1363/95 (6), which lays down special surveillance measures applicable to imports of orange juice, should be repealed; whereas, in theinterests of clarity, a new Regulation should be adopted laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of import licences and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 2405/89 and (EEC) No 3518/86;
Whereas the detailed rules for the application of the system of import licences in question either supplement or derogate from Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 of 16 November 1988 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1199/95 (8);
Whereas, in order to facilitate the adoption of appropriate measures in the event of disturbance or threatened disturbance of the market, provision should be made for introducing a fixed period between the application for and the issue of the import licence;
Whereas the term of validity of import licences should be determined in the light of the practices of international trade; whereas the amount of the security to be lodged for import licences should be fixed at levels which will enable the system to function properly;
Whereas, in order to ensure better knowledge of the trade pattern for certain products, it should be requried that the country of origin be indicated and that the importer be compelled to import from the country thus indicated; whereas, however, in view of the characteristics of trade in the products concerned, provision should be made to allow the country of origin to be changed;
Whereas in licence applications applicants must indicate the combined nomenclature subheading; whereas, in the case of certain products falling within headings 2008 and 2009 of the combined nomenclature, it is not always possible, owing to considerable variations in natural sugar content or to fluctuations in exchange rates, to know the exact subheadings at the time of application for licences; whereas special provision should be made for those products;
Whereas the fourth indent of Article 5 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 provides that no licence is required for the purposes of operations relating to quantities for which the amount of the security for the corresponding licence would be ECU 5 or less; whereas Article 14 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 provides that no security is required in respect of an import licence where the amount of security involved in ECU 5 or less; whereas Article 14 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 provides that no security is required in respect of an import or export licence where the amount of security involved is ECU 5 or less or, under certain circumstances, ECU 25 or less; whereas the application of these provisions to products processed from fruit and vegetables results, because of the range of security rates, in a wide variation in the quantity of products covered; whereas it is necessary, particularly with a view to administrative simplification, to specify the quantity of products which may be imported thus without a licence; whereas the quantity below which an import licence is to be issued without a security being lodged should also be specified; whereas the second subparagraph of Article 14 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 should not apply;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,
This Regulations lays down detailed rules for the application of the system of import licences provided for in Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86. This list of products covered by the system is set out in the Annex hereto.
