THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1898/97 of 29 September 1997 laying down detailed rules for the application in the pigmeat sector of the arrangements provided for by Council Regulations (EC) No 1727/2000, (EC) No 2290/2000, (EC) No 2433/2000, (EC) No 2434/2000, (EC) No 2435/2000 and (EC) No 2851/2000 and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 2698/93 and (EC) No 1590/94(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1006/2001(2), and in particular Article 4(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The applications for import licences lodged for the first quarter of 2002 are for quantities less than the quantities available and can therefore be met in full.

(3) It is appropriate to draw the attention of operators to the fact that licences may only be used for products which comply with all veterinary rules currently in force in the Community,
1. Applications for import licences for the period 1 January to 31 March 2002 submitted pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1898/97 shall be met as referred to in Annex I.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 64/432/EEC on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine(1), as last amended by Directive 2000/20/EC(2), and in particular Article 16(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2000/504/EC(3) established transitional measures with regard to testing for bovine tuberculosis within the framework of Directive 64/432/EEC.
(2) Certain Member States are not officially free from bovine tuberculosis and brucellosis and have not yet accomplished the installation of a surveillance network or this network is not yet approved in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 17 of Directive 64/432/EEC.
(3) As of 1 January 2001 the provisions of Article 6(2)(e) of Directive 64/432/EEC are no longer applicable. It appears appropriate to allow under certain conditions until the surveillance network is approved or officially-free status achieved and in any case for a transitional period ending 1 May 2002 at the latest, derogation from the requirements for the testing of individual bovine animals for tuberculosis and brucellosis intended for dispatch from certain Member States.
(4) For the purpose of legal clarity it appears appropriate to combine in one single Decision all transitional measures adopted in accordance with the provisions in Article 16(3) of Directive 64/432/EEC. Decision 2000/504/EC must therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
Decision 2000/504/EC is amended as follows:
1. The title of the Decision is replaced by the following:
"Commission Decision 2000/504/EC of 25 July 2000 establishing transitional measures within the framework of Council Directive 64/432/EEC".
2. A new Article 3 is inserted as follows:
"Article 3
By way of derogation from Article 6(2)(a) and (b) of Directive 64/432/EEC, Member States may license the introduction onto their territory of bovine animals aged less than 30 months for meat production which have not been subject to the tests required in Article 6(2)(a) and (b) referred to above, under the following conditions.
1. These animals
- come from the Member States listed in the Annex,
- come from herds which are officially tuberculosis-free and officially brucellosis-free,
- are accompanied by an animal health certificate in accordance with Annex F of Directive 64/432/EEC, Model 1, in which in particular paragraph 7 in Section A is duly completed.
2. The competent authorities of the Member State of dispatch have made the necessary arrangements to ensure that the animals comply with the requirements of Article 4(1) of Directive 64/432/EEC.
3. The Member State or region of dispatch is of at least the same health status with regard to bovine tuberculosis and bovine brucellosis as the Member State or region of destination.
4. The competent authorities of the Member State of destination take all necessary measures to keep the animals referred to in point 1 under their supervision until these animals are slaughtered. This supervision shall include at least regular inspection of the herds of destination and testing for bovine tuberculosis and sampling for laboratory testing for bovine brucellosis of the animals in accordance with the provisions of respectively Annex A(I) and (II) to Directive 64/432/EEC.
5. The competent authorities of the Member State of destination take all necessary measures to prevent effectively any contamination of indigenous herds."
3. Articles 3 and 4 become respectively Articles 4 and 5.
4. The words "Article 1 of" are deleted in the heading of the Annex.
5. The words "Belgium" and "Spain" are added to the Annex.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,

(2) The Agreement, pursuant to Article 353(4) thereof, has been applied provisionally since 1 August 2013 with Nicaragua, Honduras and Panama, since 1 October 2013 with El Salvador and Costa Rica, and since 1 December 2013 with Guatemala.
(3) Pursuant to Article 353(5) of the Agreement, each Party has fulfilled the requirements established in Article 244 and Article 245(1)(a) and (b), which relate to the implementation of legislation on geographical indications and the registration and protection of the relevant geographical indications as listed in Annex XVII to the Agreement.
(4) Article 4 of the Agreement establishes an Association Council which is to, inter alia, oversee the fulfilment of the objectives of the Agreement and supervise its implementation.

(6) The Decision of the Association Council also concerns additional geographical indications from Central America, listed in the Joint Declaration, attached to the Agreement, ‘Names that have been applied for registration as geographical indications in a Republic of a Central American Party’, provided that they have been successfully registered as geographical indications in the Party of Origin and have subsequently been successfully examined by the competent authority of the Union.
(7) The objections raised against the registration of Banano de Costa Rica in the Union are rejected on the ground that they either do not comply with the criteria specified in the public consultation or, where eligible, are not substantiated. No other objection was made under this public consultation.
(8) It is appropriate to establish the position to be adopted on behalf of the Union within the Association Council as regards the geographical indications to be inserted in Annex XVIII of the Agreement.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 92/2014
of 31 January 2014
approving zineb as an existing active substance for use in biocidal products for product-type 21
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 89(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3). That list includes zineb.
(2) Zineb has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 21, antifouling products, as defined in Annex V to that Directive, which corresponds to product-type 21 as defined in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
(3) Ireland was designated as rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 29 March 2011 in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.
(4) The competent authority report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 13 December 2013, in an assessment report.
(5) It appears from that report that biocidal products used for product-type 21 and containing zineb may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC, provided that the conditions specified in the Annex to this Regulation are satisfied. It is therefore appropriate to approve zineb for use in biocidal products for product-type 21.
(6) Since the evaluation did not address nanomaterials, the approval should not cover such materials pursuant to Article 4(4) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
(7) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is approved, in order to permit Member States, interested parties, and the Commission where appropriate, to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,
Zineb shall be approved as an active substance for use in biocidal products for product-type 21, subject to the specifications and conditions set out in the Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas:

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds(1), and in particular Article 15(5) thereof,
After consulting the Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions, the Committee pursuant to Article 147 of the Treaty and the Committee on Agricultural Structures and Rural Development,
Whereas:
(1) Articles 13 et seq. of Title II of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 lay down the procedure for preparing and implementing single programming documents.
(2) Article 15(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides that, after consultation with the partners referred to in Article 8 of the Regulation, the Member State may submit to the Commission a development plan which is treated as a draft single programming document, and which contains the information referred to in Article 16 of the Regulation.
(3) Under Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, on the basis of the regional development plan submitted by the Member State and within the partnership established in accordance with Article 8 of that Regulation, the Commission is to take a decision on the single programming document, in agreement with the Member State concerned and in accordance with the procedures laid down in Articles 48 to 51.
(4) The French Government submitted to the Commission on 31 December 1999 an acceptable draft single programming document for the areas of Corsica qualifying for transitional support under Objective 1 pursuant to Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. The draft contains the information listed in Article 16 of the Regulation, and in particular a description of the priorities selected and an indication of the financial contribution from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the European Social Fund (ESF), the European Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF), Guidance Section, and the Financial Instrument for Fisheries Guidance (FIFG).
(5) The date of submission of the draft which was considered acceptable by the Commission constitutes the date from which expenditure under the plan is eligible. Under Article 30 of the Regulation, it is necessary to lay down the final date for the eligibility of expenditure.
(6) The rural development measures to be financed by the EAGGF are governed, in particular as regards their compatibility and consistency with common agricultural policy measures, by Council Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999 of 17 May 1999 on support for rural development from the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF)(2).
(7) The single programming document has been drawn up in agreement with the Member State concerned and within the partnership.
(8) The Commission has satisfied itself that the single programming document is in accordance with the principle of additionality.
(9) Under Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Commission and the Member State are required to ensure, in a manner consistent with the principle of partnership, coordination between assistance from the Funds and from the EIB and other existing financial instruments.
(10) The EIB has been involved in drawing up the single programming document in accordance with the provisions of Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 and has declared itself prepared to contribute to its implementation in conformity with its statutory provisions.
(11) The financial contribution from the Community available over the entire period and its year-by-year breakdown are expressed in euro. The annual breakdown should be consistent with the relevant financial perspective. Under Article 7(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Community contribution has already been indexed at a rate of 2 % per year. Under Article 7(7) and Article 44(2) of the Regulation, the Community contribution may be reviewed at mid-term, and not later than 31 March 2004, to take account of the effective level of inflation and the allocation of the performance reserve.
(12) Provision should be made for adapting the financial allocations of the priorities of this single programming document within certain limits to actual requirements reflected by the pattern of implementation on the ground, in agreement with the Member State concerned,
The single programming document for Community structural assistance providing transitional support under Objective 1 in the region of Corsica in France for the period 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2006 is hereby approved.
1. In accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the single programming document includes the following elements:
(a) the strategy and priorities for the joint action of the Structural Funds and the Member State; their specific quantified targets; the ex-ante evaluation of the expected impact, including on the environmental situation, and the consistency of the priorities with the economic, social and regional policies and the employment strategy of France.
The priorities are as follows:
1. consolidating the bases for development;
2. working for the future with those engaged in development;
3. developing agricultural products;
4. developing fisheries products;
5. promoting social cohesion and women and men;
6. promoting the area and local approaches to development;
7. technical assistance;
(b) a summary description of the measures planned to implement the priorities, including the information needed to check compliance with the State aid rules under Article 87 of the Treaty;
(c) the indicative financing plan specifying for each priority and each year the financial allocation envisaged for the contribution from each Fund and indicating separately the funding planned for the regions receiving transitional support and the total amounts of eligible public or equivalent expenditure and estimated private funding in the Member State. The total contribution from the Funds planned for each year for the single programming document is consistent with the relevant financial perspective;
(d) the provisions for implementing the single programming document including designation of the managing authority, a description of the arrangements for managing the single programming document and the use to be made of global grants, a description of the systems for monitoring and evaluation, including the role of the Monitoring Committee and the arrangements for the participation of the partners in that Committee;
(e) the ex-ante verification of compliance with additionality and information on the transparency of financial flows;
(f) information on the resources required for preparing, monitoring and evaluating the assistance.
2. The indicative financing plan puts the total cost of the priorities selected for the joint action by the Community and the Member State at EUR 365624649 for the whole period and the financial contribution from the Structural Funds at EUR 181000000.
The resulting requirement for national resources of EUR 123797484 from the public sector and EUR 60827165 from the private sector can be partly met by Community loans from the European Investment Bank and other lending instruments.
1. The total assistance from the Structural Funds granted under the single programming document amounts to EUR 181000000.
The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds for the various priorities included in the single programming document, is set out in the financing plan annexed to this Decision.
2.
>TABLE>
3. During implementation of the financing plan, the total cost or Community financing of a given priority may be adjusted in agreement with the Member State by up to 25 % of the total Community contribution to the single programming document throughout the programme period, up to a maximum of EUR 60 million, without altering the total Community contribution referred to in paragraph 1.
This Decision is without prejudice to the Commission's position on aid schemes falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty that are included in this assistance and which it has not yet approved. Submission of the application for assistance, the programme complement or a request for payment by the Member State does not replace the notification required by Article 88(3) of the Treaty.
Community financing of State aid falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, requires prior approval by the Commission under Article 88 of the Treaty, except where the aid falls under the de minimis rule or is exempted under an exemption regulation adopted by the Commission under Council Regulation (EC) No 994/98 of 7 May 1998 on the application of Articles 92 and 93 (now 87 and 88) to certain categories of horizontal State aid(3). In the absence of such exemption or approval, aid is illegal and subject to the consequences set out in the procedural regulation for State aid, and its part-financing would be treated as an irregularity within the meaning of Articles 38 and 39 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.
Consequently, the Commission will not accept requests for interim and final payments under Article 32 of the Regulation for measures being part-financed with new or altered aid, as defined in the procedural regulation for State aid, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, until such aid has been notified to and formally approved by the Commission.
Notwithstanding the above subparagraphs, assistance for rural development part-financed by the EAGGF will be governed by Articles 51 and 52 of Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999.
The date from which expenditure shall be eligible is 31 December 1999. The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure shall be 31 December 2008. This date is extended to 30 April 2009 for expenditure incurred by bodies granting assistance under Article 9(l) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.

(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 850/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on persistent organic pollutants and amending Directive 79/117/EEC (1), and in particular Article 7(4)(a), Article 7(5) and Article 14 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 850/2004 implements in the law of the Union the commitments set out in the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (hereinafter ‘the Convention’) approved by Council Decision 2006/507/EC of 14 October 2004 concerning the conclusion, on behalf of the European Community, of the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (2) and in the Protocol to the 1979 Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution on Persistent Organic Pollutants (hereinafter ‘the Protocol’) approved by Council Decision 2004/259/EC of 19 February 2004 concerning the conclusion, on behalf of the European Community, of the Protocol to the 1979 Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution on Persistent Organic Pollutants (3).
(2) Following nominations of substances received from the European Union and its Member States, Norway and Mexico, the Persistent Organic Pollutants Review Committee established under the Convention has concluded its work on the nine proposed substances, which have been found to meet the criteria of the Convention. At the fourth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention from 4 to 8 May 2009 (hereinafter ‘COP4’) it was agreed to add all nine substances to the Annexes to the Convention.
(3) Annexes IV and V to Regulation (EC) No 850/2004 should be amended in order to take into account the new substances that have been listed during the COP4.
(4) The COP4 decided to list chlordecone, hexabromobiphenyl and hexachlorocyclohexanes, including lindane, in Annex A (elimination) to the Convention. Those substances are included in Annexes IV and V to Regulation (EC) No 850/2004 since they were listed by the Protocol.
(5) The COP4 decided to list pentachlorobenzene in Annex A (elimination) to the Convention. Therefore, pentachlorobenzene should be listed in Annexes IV and V to Regulation (EC) No 850/2004, indicating the corresponding maximum concentration limits, which have been set applying the methodology used for establishing the limit values for persistent organic pollutants (hereinafter ‘POPs’) in Council Regulation (EC) No 1195/2006 of 18 July 2006 amending Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 850/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council on persistent organic pollutants (4) and in Council Regulation (EC) No 172/2007 of 16 February 2007 amending Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 850/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council on persistent organic pollutants (5). Those provisional maximum concentration limits should be reviewed in view of the results of a study on the implementation of the waste-related provisions of Regulation (EC) No 850/2004, to be conducted on behalf of the Commission.
(6) The COP4 decided to list Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid and its derivatives (hereinafter ‘PFOS’) in Annex B (restriction) to the Convention, with some exemptions for specific applications. The use of PFOS is currently allowed for some specific applications. Because of the lifespan of articles containing PFOS, these articles will continue to enter the waste stream for some years, although in decreasing volumes. There may be practical difficulties of identifying certain materials containing PFOS within a given waste stream. Data on quantities and concentrations of PFOS in articles and wastes is currently still not sufficient. Extending the obligation in Regulation (EC) No 850/2004 to destroy or irreversibly transform the POP content to PFOS for waste exceeding the concentration limits of Annex IV could have impacts on existing recycling schemes, which may challenge another environmental priority of ensuring the sustainable use of resources. In view of this, PFOS is listed in Annexes IV and V without an indication of the concentration limits.
(7) The COP4 decided to list tetrabromodiphenyl ether, pentabromodiphenyl ether, hexabromodiphenyl ether and heptabromodiphenyl ether, hereinafter ‘polybrominated diphenyl ethers’, in Annex A (elimination) to the Convention. Placing on the market and use of pentabromodiphenyl ether and octabromodiphenyl ether have been restricted in the Union by virtue of Annex XVII 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 (6), with a maximum concentration limit of 0,1 % by weight. Pentabromodiphenyl ether, hexabromodiphenyl ether, heptabromodiphenyl ether and tetrabromodiphenyl ether are not currently being placed on the market in the Union as they are restricted by Commission Regulation (EC) No 552/2009 of 22 June 2009 amending Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) as regards Annex XVII (7) and 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 (8). However, because of the lifespan of products containing those polybrominated diphenyl ethers, end-of-life products containing these substances will continue to enter the waste stream for some years. Taking into account the practical difficulties of identifying materials containing polybrominated diphenyl ethers within a mixed waste fraction and the current lack of comprehensive scientific data on quantities and concentrations of polybrominated diphenyl ethers in articles and wastes, extending the obligation to destroy or irreversibly transform the POP content to these new substances for waste exceeding the concentration limits of Annex IV could endanger existing recycling schemes and thus hinder the sustainable use of resources. This problem was acknowledged by the COP4 and special exemptions were agreed for continued recycling of wastes that contain listed polybrominated diphenyl ethers even if this may lead to recycling of the POPs. Therefore, those exceptions should be reflected in Regulation (EC) No 850/2004.
(8) Uniform maximum concentration limits are required in the Union in order to avoid a distortion of the internal market. Provisional maximum concentration limits have been set for pentachlorobenzene in Annexes IV and V to Regulation (EC) No 850/2004 based on available data and under application of the precautionary principle.
(9) In view of the lack of comprehensive scientific information on quantities and concentrations in articles and wastes, as well as exposure scenarios, at this stage, no maximum concentration limits can be established for PFOS and polybrominated diphenyl ethers in Annexes IV and V to Regulation (EC) No 850/2004. Subject to further information becoming available and a review by the Commission, maximum concentration limits for the nine POPs will be proposed, taking into account the objectives of the POP Regulation.
(10) In accordance with Article 22 of the Convention, the amendments to Annexes A, B and C thereto enter into force one year from the date of communication by the depositary of an amendment, which will fall on 26 August 2010. Consequently and for reasons of coherence, this Regulation should apply from the same date.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Council Directive 75/442/EEC (9). This Regulation should enter into force as a matter of urgency,
1. Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 850/2004 is replaced by Annex I to this Regulation.
2. Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 850/2004 is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 26 August 2010.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 |

(5) Under the first subparagraph of Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1663/95, the accounts clearance decision referred to in Article 5(2)(b) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 and Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 must determine, without prejudice to decisions taken subsequently in accordance with Articles 5(2)(c) and 7(4) of the respective Regulations, the amount of expenditure effected in each Member State during the financial year in question recognised as being chargeable to the EAGGF Guarantee Section, on the basis of the accounts referred to in Article 5(1)(b) and 6(1)b of the abovementioned Regulations and the reductions and suspensions of advances for the financial year concerned, including the reductions referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 296/96. Under Article 102 of the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977(8) applicable to the general budget of the European Communities, as last amended by Regulation (EC, ECSC, Euratom) No 2673/1999(9), the outcome of the clearance decision, that is to say, any discrepancy which may occur between the total expenditure booked to the accounts for a financial year pursuant to Articles 100 and 101 and the total expenditure taken into consideration by the Commission in this Decision, is to be booked, under a single article, as additional expenditure or a reduction in expenditure.
(6) For certain paying agencies, the annual accounts and the accompanying documents permit the Commission to take a decision on the completeness, accuracy and veracity of the accounts submitted. In the light of the verifications made some of the accounts do not fulfil this condition and therefore part of the expenditure concerned cannot be recognised as chargeable to the EAGGF Guarantee Section. Annex I lists the amounts cleared by Member State. The details of these amounts have been described in the Summary Report that has been presented to the Fund Committee at the same time as the present Decision.
(7) In the light of the verifications made, the information submitted by certain other paying agencies requires additional inquiries and their accounts cannot be cleared in this Decision. Annex II lists the paying agencies concerned.
(8) Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 296/96, in liaison with Article 14 of Council Regulation (EC) No 2040/2000 of 26 September 2000 on budgetary discipline(10) lays down that advances against booking are to be reduced for expenditure effected by the Member States after the limits or deadlines laid down. However, pursuant to Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 296/96, any overrun of deadlines during September and October are to be taken into account in the accounts clearance Decision except where noted before the last Decision of the financial year relating to advances. Part of the expenditure claimed by certain Member States during the abovementioned period and for the measures for which the Commission did not accept any extenuating circumstances was effected after the limits or deadlines laid down. This Decision should therefore lay down the relevant reductions. A decision will be taken at a later date, in accordance with Article 5(2)(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 and Article 7(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999, definitively fixing the expenditure for which Community financing will not be granted regarding those reductions and any other expenditure which may be found to have been effected after the limits or deadlines laid down;
(9) The Commission, in accordance with Article 13 of Council Decision 94/729/EC of 31 October 1994 on budgetary discipline(11), Article 14 of Council Regulation (EC) No 2040/2000 and Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 296/96, reduced or suspended a number of monthly advances on entry into the accounts of expenditure for the 2000 financial year and proceeds in this Decision to the reductions laid down in Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 296/96. In the light of the above, to avoid any premature or even only temporary reimbursement of the amounts in question, they should not be recognised in this Decision, without prejudice to further examination according to Article 5(2)(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 and Article 7(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999.
(10) The second subparagraph of Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1663/95, lays down that the amounts that, in accordance with the accounts clearance Decision referred to in the first subparagraph, are recoverable from, or payable to, each Member State shall be determined by deducting advances paid during the financial year in question, i.e. 2000, from expenditure recognised for that year in accordance with the first subparagraph. Such amounts are to be deducted from, or added to, advances against expenditure from the second month following that in which the accounts clearance Decision is taken. Annex I lists the amounts cleared for each Member States.
(11) In accordance with the final subparagraph of Article 5(2)(b) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70, Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 and Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1663/95, this Decision, adopted on the basis of accounting information, does not prejudice decisions taken subsequently by the Commission excluding from Community financing expenditure not effected in accordance with Community rules,
With the exception of the paying agencies referred to in Article 2 the accounts of the paying agencies of the Member States concerning expenditure financed by the EAGGF Guarantee Section in respect of the 2000 financial year are hereby cleared. The amounts which are recoverable from, or payable to, each Member State in accordance with the present Decision are determined in Annex I.
For the 2000 financial year, the accounts of the paying agencies shown in Annex II are disjoined from this Decision and shall be the subject of a future clearance Decision.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers (1), as last amended by European Parliament and Council Directive 96/79/EC (2), and in particular Article 8 (2) (c) thereof,
Whereas the request submitted by Germany on 5 August 1996, which was received by the Commission on 14 August 1996, was accompanied by a report containing the information required by Article 8 (2) (c); whereas the request concerns two types of gas discharge lamp for two types of headlamp for one type of motor vehicle;
Whereas the information provided by Germany shows that the technology and principle embodied in these new types of gas discharge lamp and headlamp do not meet the requirements of Community regulations; whereas, however, the descriptions of the tests, the results thereof and the action taken in order to ensure road safety are satisfactory and ensure a level of safety equivalent to that of the lamps and headlamps covered by the requirements of the Directives in force and, in particular, of Council Directive 76/761/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to motor-vehicle headlamps which function as main-beam and/or dipped-beam and to incandescent electric filament lamps for such headlamps (3), as last amended by Commission Directive 89/517/EEC (4);
Whereas these new types of gas discharge lamp and these new types of headlamp meet the requirements of UNECE (United Nations Economic Commission for Europe) Regulations Nos 98 and 99; whereas it is therefore justified to allow the three items covered by the request for exemption, i.e. the types of gas discharge lamp, the two types of headlamp fitted with these types of lamp and the type of motor vehicle, to benefit from the granting of EC type-approval on condition that the type of vehicle concerned is equipped with an automatic headlamp levelling system, a headlamp cleaning device and a system guaranteeing that dipped-beam headlamps are lit even if the main-beam headlamps are lit;
Whereas the Community Directives concerned will be amended in order to enable gas discharge lamps embodying this new technology, headlamps fitted with such lamps and motor vehicles equipped with such headlamps to be placed on the market;
Whereas the measure provided for in this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Adaptation to Technical Progress set up by Directive 70/156/EEC,
The request submitted by Germany for an exemption concerning two types of gas discharge lamp for two types of headlamp for one type of motor vehicle is hereby approved on condition that the vehicle type concerned is equipped with an automatic headlamp levelling system, a headlamp cleaning device and a system guaranteeing that dipped-beam headlamps are lit even if the main-beam headlamps are lit.

of 18 February 2014
amending Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the assessment and verification of constancy of performance of construction products
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2011 laying down harmonised conditions for the marketing of construction products and repealing Council Directive 89/106/EEC (1), and in particular Article 60(e) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 28 of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011, assessment and verification of constancy of performance of construction products in relation to their essential characteristics is to be carried out in accordance with the systems set out in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 305/2011.
(2) Annex V should be adapted in order to respond to technological progress, to make provision for the specific case of products for which European Technical Assessments have been issued, as well as to enhance the clarity, accuracy and consistency to the descriptions and terms used therein, in line with practical experience gained in the course of the application of Annex V.
(3) This adaptation would facilitate the work of manufacturers and notified bodies authorised to carry out third-party tasks in the process of assessment and verification of constancy of performance of construction products, reduce administrative burden and increase clarity on the interpretation of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011, thus having a favourable impact on the competitiveness of the construction sector as a whole.
(4) Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 implies that the manufacturer is responsible for determining the product-type for any product the manufacturer wishes to place on the market. In the same context, the underlying logic of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 does not imply the existence of product certification, but notified bodies are only responsible for assessing the performance of construction products, the constancy of which is then to be certified. This repartition of competences between manufacturer and notified bodies should be better reflected in Annex V, without entailing a shift in the responsibilities of these actors.
(5) Since constant surveillance of factory production control by notified bodies in fact is not possible and is not carried out in practice, reference should rather be made to the continuing nature of the surveillance.
(6) For construction products not covered or not fully covered by harmonised standards, European Technical Assessments (ETA) can be issued by a Technical Assessment Body. Pursuant to Article 2(13) of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011, such an ETA already contains an assessment of the performance of the product in question in relation to its essential characteristics. Additional subsequent controls of the correctness of this assessment process would not bring about any added value, but only generate unnecessary costs for manufacturers. Enterprises have already made requests for ETAs and need legal certainty with respect to the third-party tasks to be carried out in the process of assessment and verification of constancy of performance of these construction products.
(7) In order to better reflect the current practice the names of the types of notified bodies and the description of their respective tasks should be adjusted.
(8) A technical adaptation is necessary concerning the term ‘noise absorption’ referred to in Section 3 of Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 to achieve a more accurate description of the essential characteristics to be assessed and more consistency with terminology used in relevant harmonised technical specifications.
(9) In order to ensure a smooth transition for manufacturers they should have the right to continue using certificates and other documents which were issued by notified bodies in accordance with Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 before the entry into force of this Regulation,
Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation.
Certificates and other documents issued by notified bodies in accordance with Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 before the entry into force of this Regulation shall be deemed to comply with this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

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 Council Directive 90/654/EEC (2), and in particular Article 20a thereof,
Whereas, in the light of the development of scientific and technical knowledge, Annexes I and II to Directive 69/208/EEC should be amended in respect of organisms harmful to soya bean for the reasons set out below;
Whereas, according to present scientific and technical knowledge, Pseudomonas syringae pv. glycinea, Diaporthe phaseolorum var. caulivora and var. sojae, Phialophora gregata and Phytophthora megasperma f.sp. glycinea have been considered as harmful organisms whose introduction could be prohibited in certain Member States under the Community plant health regime established under Directive 77/93/EEC (3), as amended;
Whereas the relevant Annexes to Directive 77/93/EEC are now being amended to take into account the actual spread situation of the organisms concerned;
Whereas, nevertheless, it is desirable to ensure that the abovementioned harmful organisms which may reduce the usefulness of seed should be kept at the lowest possible level;
Whereas in the cases of Pseudomonas syringae pv. glycinea and Diaporthe phaseolorum var. caulivora and var. sojae it is desirable that appropriate standards applicable to soya bean seed should be laid down in order to maintain the usefulness of the seed despite a certain level of contamination by the said harmful organisms;
Whereas the inert matter in seed lots represents a risk for the spread of Phialophora gregata and Phytophthora megasperma f.sp. glycinae; whereas appropriate standards in respect of the maximum content of inert matter in soya bean seed should be adopted in order to reduce the risk of contamination by the said harmful organisms;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
Directive 69/208/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. The following sentence is added to paragraph 4 of Annex I:
'In the case of Glycine max., this condition is applicable in particular to the organisms Pseudomonas syringae pv. glycinea, Diaporthe phaseolorum var. caulivora and var. sojae, Phialophora gregata and Phytophthora megasperma f.sp. glycinea.'
2. The following sub-paragraph is added to Section I (3) of Annex II:
'C. Particular standards or other conditions applicable to Glycine max:
(a) In respect of Pseudomonas syringae pv. glycinea, the maximum number of sub-samples within a sample of 5 000 seeds minimum per lot subdivided into 5 sub-samples which have been found to be contaminated by the said organism shall not exceed 4.
Where suspect colonies are identified in all five subsamples, appropriate biochemical tests on the suspect colonies isolated on a preferential medium for each subsample may be used to confirm the above standards or conditions.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2014/85/EU
of 1 July 2014
amending Directive 2006/126/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on driving licences
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2006/126/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 on driving licences (1), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Significant improvements have been brought to tunnel safety within the Union, including by virtue of Directive 2004/54/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2). In order to fully ensure the effectiveness of these improvements, it is necessary to ensure that drivers know and understand the principles of safe driving in tunnels and can apply them in their behaviour in traffic. The theoretical and practical test requirements in Council Directive 91/439/EEC (3) were therefore amended accordingly by Commission Directive 2008/65/EC (4) and so should those in the recast Directive 2006/126/EC.
(2) Since the adoption of Directive 2006/126/EC, scientific knowledge on medical conditions which affect fitness to drive has progressed, particularly as regards the estimation of both the associated risks for road safety and the effectiveness of treatment in averting the said risks. Numerous studies and researches have recently become available which confirm that the obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome is one of the highest risk factors for motor vehicle accidents. Therefore this condition should no longer be ignored in the context of the Union driving licence legislation.
(3) Directive 2006/126/EC should therefore be amended in order to adapt Annexe III to scientific and technical progress.
(4) Editorial errors have been detected in Annex II to Directive 2006/126/EC following its amendment by Commission Directive 2012/36/EU (5). Those should be corrected.
(5) In accordance with the Joint Political Declaration of Member States and the Commission of 28 September 2011 on explanatory documents (6), Member States have undertaken to accompany, in justified cases, the notification of their transposition measures with one or more documents explaining the relationship between the components of a directive and the corresponding parts of national transposition instruments.
(6) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on driving licences,
Annexes II and III to Directive 2006/126/EC are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.
1. Member States shall adopt and publish, by 31 December 2015 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.
They shall apply those provisions from 31 December 2015.
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.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 784/90 of 29 March 1990 fixing the reducing coefficient for agricultural prices in the 1990/91 marketing year as a result of the monetary realignment of 5 January 1990 and amending the prices and amounts fixed in ecus for that marketing year (5) establishes the list of prices and amounts to which the coefficient 1,001712 is applied within the framework of the arrangements on the automatic dismantlement of negative monetary gaps; whereas Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 784/90 provides that the resulting reduction for the prices and amounts fixed in ecus by the Council for the 1990/91 marketing year be specified and that the value of those reduced prices and amounts be fixed; whereas the basic price and buying-in price for peaches, nectarines and lemons for the 1990/91 marketing year were fixed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1194/90 (6);
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1370/89 (7) fixed the intervention thresholds for the 1989/90 marketing year at 376 600 tonnes for peaches, 45 800 tonnes for nectarines and 158 300 tonnes for lemons;
Whereas Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1122/89 of 27 April 1989 laying down specific measures for the application of certain intervention thresholds in the fruit and vegetables sector for the 1989/90 marketing year (8) lays down that where, during the 1989/90 marketing year, the sum of the quantities of peaches, nectarines or lemons bought in Spain, on the one hand, and in the Community of Ten on the other, pursuant to Articles 15, 15a, 15b, 19 and 19a of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 exceeds the sum of the intervention thresholds fixed for each product for all or part of that marketing year, the basic and buying-in prices fixed for that product for the 1990/91 marketing year are to be reduced in the case of peaches, nectarines and lemons by 1 % for every 22 700 tonnes, 2 900 tonnes and 11 000 tonnes respectively by which the intervention threshold is exceeded;

Whereas, on the basis of information supplied by the Member States, the intervention measures taken by the Community with the exception of Portugal for the 1989/90 marketing year related to 515 141 tonnes for peaches, 82 473 tonnes for nectarines and 195 564 tonnes for lemons; whereas the Commission therefore noted an overrun in the intervention thresholds fixed for that marketing year of 138 541 tonnes for peaches, 37 264 tonnes for nectarines and 37 925 tonnes for lemons;
Whereas consequently, the basic and buying-in prices for peaches, nectarines and lemons for the 1990/91 marketing year, as fixed by Regulation (EEC) No 1194/90, must be reduced for peaches by 6 %, for nectarines by 12 % and for lemons by 3 %; whereas these reductions must be added to those resulting from the monetary realignment of 5 January 1990;
Whereas during the first phase Portugal is authorized to maintain, in the fruit and vegetable sectors, the regulations in force under the former national arrangements for the organization of its agricultural internal market, subject to the conditions provided for in Articles 262 to 265 of the Act of Accession; whereas, therefore, the prices and the amounts fixed by this Regulation are valid only in the Community with the exception of Portugal;

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular Article 83 thereof,
Having given the Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros Industriales de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (Spain) the opportunity to express its point of view on the objections raised by the Commission,
Whereas:
I. THE FACTS This Decision concerns the non-declaration, from January 1986 until June 1994, of a nuclear installation located at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros Industriales de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (Spain), hereinafter referred to as 'ETSII'.
ETSII is a school for university-grade engineers, and forms part of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. For the practical exercises of the students it carries out technical demonstrations.
Through a series of documents, on-site verifications and the hearing held in Brussels in the offices of the Commission on 18 August 1994, the following facts were established:
- ETSII used a nuclear installation for educational training purposes. Its equipment consisted of a subcritical assembly in the form of a stainless steel vessel with a water purification system. In this vessel a lattice was mounted into which a set of tubes could be positioned,
- the nuclear inventory consisted of 1 350 fuel rods containing in total 3 622 kg of metallic natural uranium with an aluminium cladding. There were also 270 tubes which could contain 5 fuel rods each and which were used for positioning the fuel in the reactor vessel,
- the stainless steel vessel was delivered in 1962 and the nuclear material in 1971 and 1972. From that date it was used for educational purposes until 1982. Both equipment and nuclear material remained stored at the ETSII premises until they were exported in July and August 1994,
- upon accession of Spain to the European Communities on 1 January 1986 the provisions of Title Two, Chapter VII, of the Treaty became applicable in Spain. However, no declaration of the installation was made by ETSII to the Commission under Article 78 (1),
- on 14 June 1994 the Spanish authorities informed the Commission of the existence of the installation and the nuclear material contained therein. At the same time the Commission was informed of ETSII's intention to close and dismantle the installation and to export the nuclear material and equipment,
- on 17 June 1994 the basic technical characteristics of the installation were declared to the Commission by ETSII,
- during the period between January 1986 and June 1994 the installation was known to the responsible national authorities who also issued the operating licence. However, the installation was not included in the initial declarations submitted by the responsible national authorities to the Commission upon the accession of Spain to the Communities.
The facts related to the non-declaration of the installation are not disputed by the operator.
II. LEGAL ASSESSMENT A. The legal provisions By virtue of the nature of the installation and the nuclear material inventory, ETSII is an undertaking falling within the terms of Article 196 (b) of the Treaty. It is therefore subject to the provisions of Title Two, Chapter VII, of the Treaty, and to Commission Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76 of 19 October 1976 concerning the application of the provisions of Euratom safeguards (1), as last amended by Regulation (Euratom) No 2130/93 (2).
Under Article 77 of the Treaty, the Commission shall satisfy itself that, in the territories of the Member States:
(a) ores, source materials and special fissile materials are not diverted from their intended uses as declared by the users;
(b) the provisions relating to supply and any particular safeguarding obligations assumed by the Community under an agreement concluded with a third State or an international organization are complied with.
To this end, in accordance with the first paragraph of Article 78 of the Treaty, anyone setting up or operating an installation for the production, separation or other use of source materials or special fissile material or for the processing of irradiated nuclear fuels is required to declare to the Commission the basic technical characteristics of the installations, to the extent that knowledge of these characteristics is necessary for the attainment of the objectives set out in Article 77.
To implement this provision, these basic technical characteristics shall, pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76 be declared to the Commission on the basis of the relevant questionnaire given in Annex 1 thereto.
B. The infringement established Following an examination of the facts by the Commission, a breach of the provisions on communication of the basic technical characteristics laid down in Article 78 (1) of the Treaty and Article 1 of Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76, has been established.
C. The sanction to be applied Under the terms of Article 83 (1) of the Treaty, in the event of an infringement on the part of persons or undertakings of the obligations imposed on them, the Commission may impose sanctions on such persons or undertakings.
These sanctions are in order of severity:
(a) a warning;
(b) the withdrawal of special benefits such as financial or technical assistance;
(c) the placing of the undertaking for a period not exceeding four months under the administration of a person or board appointed by common accord of the Commission and the State having jurisdiction over the undertaking;
(d) total or partial withdrawal of source materials or special fissile materials.
Given that the determining criterion for application of this Article is the severity of the infringement committed, it is first necessary to carry out both an objective and a subjective analysis of the nature of the offences.
From an objective point of view, it appears that the provisions breached are essential elements of Community legislation in the field of safeguards, and that observance of them is essential if the aim set out in Article 77 of the Treaty is to be attained.
Moreover, the facts established made it impossible for the Community to carry out the task assigned to it in Article 2 (e) of the Treaty, namely to 'make certain, by appropriate supervision, that nuclear materials are not diverted to purposes other than those for which they are intended'. However, the Commission takes into consideration that the installation had not been operated after Spain's accession to the Communities, and that the nuclear material concerned was of relatively low importance.
Further, from a subjective point of view it appears that, behind the non-declaration, there was no intention to divert. In addition, there is evidence that ETSII made declarations to the responsible national authorities in order to comply with all legal requirements which were known to it. Finally, when ETSII became aware of the obligations incumbent on it under the Treaty, it immediately complied with them and cooperated fully.
In assessing both the objective and the subjective factors set out above the Commission considers that the infringement committed by ETSII is such that a sanction is warranted.
Given the circumstances, in particular the fact that the installation is no longer in possession of any nuclear material or nuclear equipment and that there are no special benefits to ETSII such as financial or technical assistance, the appropriate sanction to impose is that laid down in Article 83 (1) (a) of the Treaty,
The Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros Industriales de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid has infringed the first paragraph of Article 78 of the Treaty and Article 1 of Commission Regulation (Euratom) No 3277/76 through its failure to communicate to the Commission the basic technical characteristics of the nuclear installation.
The Commission issues a warning to ETSII.

Commission Decision 2003/636/EC (2) confirmed that the dossier was complete and could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annex II and Annex III to that Directive.
(2) In June 2003 France received an application from Société occitane de fabrications et de technologies concerning FEN 560. Commission Decision 2004/131/EC (3) confirmed that the dossier was complete and could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annex II and Annex III to that Directive.
(3) In December 2003 France received an application from Enhold B.V. concerning flonicamid (former name: IKI-220). Commission Decision 2004/686/EC (4) confirmed that the dossier was complete and could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annex II and Annex III to that Directive.
(4) Confirmation of the completeness of the dossiers was necessary in order to allow them to be examined in detail and to allow Member States the possibility of granting provisional authorisations, for periods of up to three years, for plant protection products containing the active substances concerned, while complying with the conditions laid down in Article 8(1) of Directive 91/414/EEC and, in particular, the condition relating to the detailed assessment of the active substances and the plant protection product in the light of the requirements laid down by that Directive.
(5) For these active substances, the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicants. The rapporteur Member States submitted the draft assessment reports to the Commission on 30 January 2006 (cyflufenamid), 18 February 2005 (FEN 560), 24 May 2005 (flonicamid), respectively.
(6) Following submission of the draft assessment reports by the rapporteur Member States, it has been found to be necessary to request further information from the applicants and to have the rapporteur Member States examine that information and submit their assessment. Therefore, the examination of the dossiers is still ongoing and it will not be possible to complete the evaluation within the timeframe provided for in Directive 91/414/EEC.
(7) As the evaluation so far has not identified any reason for immediate concern, Member States should be given the possibility of prolonging provisional authorisations granted for plant protection products containing the active substances concerned for a period of 24 months in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 of Directive 91/414/EEC so as to enable the examination of the dossiers to continue. It is expected that the evaluation and decision-making process with respect to a decision on possible Annex I inclusion for cyflufenamid, FEN 560 and flonicamid will have been completed within 24 months.
(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 may extend provisional authorisations for plant protection products containing cyflufenamid, FEN 560 or flonicamid for a period not exceeding 24 months from the date of adoption of this Decision.

32002D0972 | 2002/972/EC: Council Decision of 28 November 2002 authorising the Greek Government to grant aid to cotton growers in Greece
| Council Decision
of 28 November 2002
authorising the Greek Government to grant aid to cotton growers in Greece
(2002/972/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 88(2), third subparagraph, thereof,
Having regard to the request made by the Greek Government on 14 October 2002,
Whereas:
(1) In 2001 the Community aid scheme for cotton was amended by the entry into force of Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton(1), which henceforth allows Member States to take measures limiting the production of cotton for environmental reasons. This new scheme introduced a stricter co-responsibility mechanism than before. This gave rise to serious problems in applying the scheme, the detailed implementing rules of which are laid down in Commission Regulations (EC) No 1591/2001(2) and (EC) No 1398/2002(3).
(2) The implementation of the new scheme for cotton harvested in 2001, for which yields per hectare were extremely high, has meant that the total cotton production levels for the 2001/2002 marketing year are very high, which has brought about a sharp cut in the compensation paid pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001.
(3) The Greek authorities excluded 206365 tonnes of unginned cotton from the quantity eligible for aid for the period 2001/2002. However, Commission Regulation (EC) No 1398/2002 set the quantity of unginned cotton at 1246839 tonnes. Hence, application of the stabiliser mechanism resulted in a reduction of Community aid.
(4) This reduction in aid consequently affected the incomes of 93405 farmers. Many of these farmers had made considerable investments to meet the environmental requirements and observe good agricultural practice. The loss of income jeopardises the viability of many cotton farms in Greece and could have a very negative social impact in the regions concerned.
(5) In order to offset the reduction in income of the families affected by the application of the stabiliser mechanism, the Greek Government has envisaged granting aid to those cotton producers who have complied with good agricultural practice to meet the environmental requirements. The maximum amount of the aid concerned will not exceed EUR 90000000.
(6) Exceptional circumstances exist, making it possible to consider, by way of derogation and to the extent strictly necessary in order to remedy the situation of imbalance recorded, such aid to be compatible with the common market, on the terms specified in this Decision,
Exceptional aid by the Greek Government in the form of payment for the 2001/2002 marketing year to cotton growers in Greece who have observed good agricultural practices of national compensation totalling not more than EUR 90000000 for the quantities produced recognised by the Commission as eligible for aid under Regulation (EC) No 1398/2002 shall be considered compatible with the common market.
This Decision is addressed to the Hellenic Republic. | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

of 29 October 1990
extending and amending Regulation (EEC) No 2340/90 preventing trade by the Community as regards Iraq and Kuwait
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Whereas, on 1, 6 and 7 October 1990, the Ministers for Foreign Affairs of the Member States reaffirmed their conviction that full implementation of the embargo adopted by the United Nations Security Council in respect of Iraq was the essential condition for a peaceful settlement of the crisis;
Whereas, on 8 August 1990, the Council adopted Regulation (EEC) No 2340/90 (1), which is aimed at preventing trade by the Community as regards Iraq and Kuwait;
Whereas, taking account of the worsening of the situation since the adoption of the said Regulation, the Community and its Member States, in their Declarations of 7 and 17 September 1990, confirmed the necessity of implementing United Nations Security Council Resolutions 660, 661 and 666 (1990) and expressed their determination to take effective action; whereas the Community and its Member States have agreed to adopt a Community instrument to ensure uniform implementation, throughout the Community, of the measures relating to trade with Iraq and Kuwait decided upon by the United Nations Security Council;
Whereas, in Resolution 670 (1990), the United Nations Security Council decided that States should take all appropriate measures to ensure effective application of the embargo to air transport;
Whereas, taking account of the abovementioned United Nations Security Council Resolutions, certain bodies in Kuwait, controlled and recognized by the legitimate Government of Kuwait, should be allowed to carry out their activities under certain conditions in accordance with the national law of the Member States;
Whereas Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2340/90 exempts from the strict prohibition on exports to Iraq and Kuwait the supply of, among other things, products for strictly medical use listed in the Annex to the said Regulation;
Whereas the list of medical products contained in that Annex includes certain products or substances which could be used for ends and purposes which are not strictly medical;
Whereas the said products or substances should therefore be deleted from the list of products for strictly medical use and their export to Iraq or Kuwait should be prohibited;
Whereas, with a view to exercising sufficiently effective control over exports to Iraq or Kuwait of the products listed in the Annex, such exports should require prior authorization, to be issued by the competent authorities of the Member States;
Whereas rapid exchange of information between the Member States and the Commission on the authorizations granted in the context of emergency food aid would seem necessary;
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
1. Without prejudice to the prohibitions introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 2340/90, the provision of non-financial services with the object or effect of promoting the economy of Iraq or Kuwait carried out in or from Community territory, including its air space, or by the
intermediary of aircraft or ships flying the flag of a Member State, or by any Community national:
(i) for the purposes of any economic activity carried out in or from Iraq or Kuwait; or
(ii) to one of the following persons:
- any natural person in Iraq or Kuwait,
- any legal person so constituted or incorporated under Iraqi or Kuwaiti law,
- any organization exercising an economic activity (whether or not in Iraq or Kuwait) controlled by persons resident in Iraq or Kuwait or by organizations constituted or incorporated under the laws of either of those countries, shall be prohibited as from the entry into force of this Regulation,
The terms of the prohibition on air transport are defined in Annex I.
2. The prohibition shall not apply to postal or telecommunications services, nor to medical services necessary for the operation of existing hospitals, nor to non-financed services resulting from contracts or amendments to contracts concluded before the entry into force of the ban laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2340/90, where their execution began before that date.
1. Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2340/90 and Article 1 (1) of this Regulation does not preclude the carrying-out of commercial transactions or the provision of non-financial services outside Iraq or Kuwait with Kuwaiti bodies controlled and recognized by the legitimate Government of Kuwait.
2. The list of such bodies shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, 'C' series.
The Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2340/90 is hereby replaced by that given in Annex II to this Regulation.
Export of the products listed in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2340/90 shall be subject to a prior export authorization, to be issued by the competent authorities of the Member States.
Prior export authorization for the products listed under heading B of Annex II may be granted only for consignments of food products supplied free of charge.
Member States shall notify the Commission of their emergency food aid operations within two days of the grant of authorization referred to in Article 5.
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 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3976/87 of 14 December 1987 on the application of Article 85(3) of the Treaty to certain categories of agreements and concerted practices in the air transport sector(1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Having published a draft of this Regulation(2),
Having consulted the Advisory Committee on Agreements and Dominant Positions in Air Transport,
Whereas:
(1) By Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1617/93(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1083/1999(4), the Commission granted a block exemption for, among other things, consultation on tariffs for the carriage of passengers and their baggage on scheduled air services and slot allocation at airports and airport scheduling. That Regulation is applicable until 30 June 2001.
(2) The Commission has initiated a consultation on whether the block exemption for consultations on passenger tariffs should be maintained in its current form. That consultation will be completed by the end of 2001. Following that consultation, the Commission may make proposals for a new block exemption or initiate an individual procedure. The current block exemption for consultations on passenger tariffs should therefore be extended for one year.
(3) The reasons obtaining in 1993 for granting a block exemption for agreements and concerted practices on slot allocation and airport scheduling of air services between airports within the Community remain fully valid today. It is therefore appropriate to extend that block exemption. In order to allow for the possibility of adapting this block exemption once the envisaged amendments to Council Regulation (EEC) No 95/93 of 18 January 1993 on common rules for the allocation of slots at Community airports(5) are adopted, that extension should be granted for three years.
(4) Regulation (EEC) No 1617/93 should therefore be amended accordingly,
In Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 1617/93, the second paragraph is replaced by the following: "It shall apply until 30 June 2002 so far as the exemption for consultations on tariffs for the carriage of passengers with their baggage is concerned and until 30 June 2004 so far as the exemption for slot allocation and airport scheduling is concerned."
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 2001.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 of 19 January 2009 establishing common rules for direct support schemes for farmers under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers, amending Regulations (EC) No 1290/2005, (EC) No 247/2006, (EC) No 378/2007 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 (1), and in particular Article 142 (c), (l) and (r) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Portugal has informed the Commission about the aggravation of the situation of farmers in the Portuguese dairy sector in 2012. This aggravation is the consequence of both a continuous increase of feed prices due to the combined effects of adverse climatic conditions affecting some of the most important Union and world suppliers of grains, and of the decrease of prices resulting from the reduction of the internal demand in the context of the economic crisis affecting Portugal. The increase of the feed prices which represent a significant part of the production costs has immediate consequences on the Portuguese dairy sector in particular by squeezing the margins and putting holdings in financial difficulties at the end of the year 2012. This in turn has led to an emergency for the dairy sector, resulting in serious practical and specific problems for farmers of dairy cows that could not have been foreseen at the time when decisions, for the year 2012, for support pursuant to Article 68 of Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 could be reviewed in accordance with Article 68(8) of that Regulation.
(2) Portugal wishes to increase the level of support foreseen in the framework of the dairy specific support measure currently implemented under Article 68(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 in order to help farmers concerned to face this situation in the short term. Accordingly, Portugal has requested to be authorised to revise its decision on the implementation of specific support for 2012 in view of introducing support under Article 68(1)(a)(v) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 in substitution to support currently implemented under Article 68(1)(a)(i) of that Regulation. Portugal intends to use the resulting available amounts for increasing the level of support to dairy farmers within the measure implemented under Article 68(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009.
(3) Therefore, and given that a review of the decision on the implementation of specific support for 2012 is no longer possible under Article 68(8) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, it is appropriate to derogate from that provision to allow Portugal to amend the scheme implemented for that year.
(4) For the same reasons, it is appropriate to derogate from the deadline laid down in Article 50(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1120/2009 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of the single payment scheme provided for in Title III of Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 (2) for notification of such a review to the Commission.
(5) According to Article 44 of Regulation (EC) No 1120/2009, Article 27(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1974/2006 of 15 December 2006 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 on support for rural development by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) (3) applies mutatis mutandis to support under Article 68(1)(a)(v) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009. Article 27(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1974/2006, in conjunction with Annex IV of that Regulation, sets out the criteria for determining the threshold of loss to farming of local breeds indigenous to the area and in danger of being lost to farming.
(6) According to Portugal, there is a decline in the population of the bovine breeds ‘Alentejena’ and ‘Mertolenga’, of the sheep breeds ‘Serra de Estrela’ and ‘Churros’ and of the ‘Serrana’ goat breed due to the increasing trend in crossing or substituting local breeds with exotic breeds, putting them under threat of being lost for farming. Even so, given their great capacity of adaptation to the environment without producing an excessive pressure on the natural resources, those local breeds are part of agricultural and pasture systems with high natural value. For the purpose of granting support under Article 68(1)(a)(v) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 in view of maintaining the population of such animals at an appropriate level for preserving the genetic heritage they represent, while protecting the legitimate expectations of farmers having applied for support under Article 68(1)(a)(i) for the year 2012, it is necessary to derogate from Article 44(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1120/2009 as regards the criteria for determining the threshold of loss to farming of local breeds indigenous to the area and in danger of being lost to farming.
(7) Pursuant to Article 12(1)(a) and (e) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009 of 30 November 2009 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 as regards cross-compliance, modulation and the integrated administration and control system, under the direct support schemes for farmers provided for that Regulation, as well as for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as regards cross-compliance under the support scheme provided for the wine sector (4), the single application is to contain all information necessary to establish eligibility for the aid, in particular the aid scheme concerned and a statement by the farmer that he is aware of the conditions pertaining to the aid scheme in question.
(8) Given that specific support under Article 68 of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 consists of several measures with different eligibility conditions, farmers are required to indicate in the single application for which specific measure they apply. In order to address the situation in the dairy sector still in 2012, Portugal intends to consider applications lodged in the calendar year 2012 for support under Article 68(1)(a)(i) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 as applications for the envisaged support under Article 68(1)(a)(v) of that Regulation for the same calendar year, taking into account the legitimate expectations of farmers concerned. In this respect, it is therefore appropriate to derogate from Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009.
(9) As the derogations concern the year 2012, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Direct Payments,
Derogation from Regulation (EC) No 73/2009
By way of derogation from Article 68(8) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, Portugal may, by [the day after the day of publication in the OJ, Office of Publications please insert the date], review the decision taken pursuant to Article 69(1) of that Regulation and modify, with effect for the year 2012, the specific support under Article 68(1)(a)(i) and Article 68(1)(a)(v) of that Regulation.
Derogations from Regulation (EC) No 1120/2009
1. By way of derogation from the first subparagraph of Article 50(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1120/2009, Portugal shall inform the Commission by [the fifth working day after the day of publication in the OJ, Office of Publications please insert the date] of the specific support measure they intend to apply under Article 68(1)(a)(v) pursuant to Article 1 of this Regulation.
2. By way of derogation from Article 44(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1120/2009, the thresholds referred to in Article 27(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1974/2006 shall not apply for the year 2012 in relation to support under Article 68(1)(a)(v) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 for the cattle breeds ‘Alentejana’ and ‘Mertolenga’, the sheep breeds ‘Serra de Estrela’ and ‘Churros’ and the goat breed ‘Serrana’.
Derogation from Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009
By way of derogation from Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009, applications lodged in the calendar year 2012 for support under Article 68(1)(a)(i) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 in respect of the breeds referred to in Article 2(2) may be considered as applications for support under Article 68(1)(a)(v) of the Regulation for the same calendar year.

| Decision No 1152/2003/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
of 16 June 2003
on computerising the movement and surveillance of excisable products
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee(2),
Acting in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 251 of the Treaty(3),
Whereas:
(1) Council Directive 92/12/EEC of 25 February 1992 on the general arrangements for products subject to excise duty and on the holding, movement and monitoring of such products(4) provides that products moving between the territories of the Member States under excise-duty suspension arrangements must be accompanied by a document completed by the consignor.
(2) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2719/92 of 11 September 1992 on the accompanying document for the movement under duty-suspension arrangements of products subject to excise duty(5) lays down the form and content of the accompanying document provided for in Directive 92/12/EEC.
(3) It is necessary to have a computerised system for monitoring the movement of excisable goods, such as will allow Member States to obtain real-time information on those movements and to carry out the requisite checks, including checks during movement of products, within the meaning of Article 15 of Directive 92/12/EEC.
(4) The setting up of a computer system should also allow the intra-Community movement of goods under suspension of excise duties to be simplified.
(5) A computerised system for the intra-Community movement and monitoring of excisable goods (EMCS) should be compatible and, if technically possible, merged with the new computerised transit system (NCTS), so as to facilitate administrative and commercial procedures.
(6) For the purposes of implementing this Decision, the Commission should coordinate Member States' activities, so as to ensure the smooth operation of the internal market.
(7) Because of the size and complexity of such a computerised system, both the Community and the Member States will need considerable additional human and financial resources for the purpose. Accordingly, provision should be made whereby the Commission and the Member States make the necessary resources available for the development and deployment of the system.
(8) In developing the national components, Member States should apply the principles laid down for electronic government systems and should treat the economic operators in the same way as in the other fields where computer systems are set up. In particular, they should allow the economic operators, especially the small and medium-sized enterprises active in this sector, to use these national components at the lowest possible cost, and they should promote all measures aimed at preserving their competitiveness.
(9) The division between the Community and non-Community components of the computerised system should also be defined, as should the respective duties of the Commission and the Member States with regard to the system's development and deployment. In that context, the Commission, assisted by the relevant Committee, should fulfil a major role in coordinating, organising and managing the system.
(10) Arrangements should be made for evaluating the implementation of the computerised system for monitoring excisable goods.
(11) The funding of the system should be shared between the Community and the Member States, the Community's share being specifically entered as such in the general budget of the European Union.
(12) Establishing the computerised system serves to enhance the internal-market aspects of the movement of excisable goods. Any fiscal aspects relating to the movement of excisable goods should be addressed by amending Directive 92/12/EEC. This Decision does not prejudice the legal basis of any future amendments to Directive 92/12/EEC.
(13) Before the EMCS is operational, and given the problems which have been experienced, the Commission, in collaboration with Member States, and taking account of the views of the trade sectors concerned, should look at ways to improve the current paper-based system.
(14) This Decision lays down, for the entire period needed for the development and the deployment of the system, a financial framework constituting the prime reference within the meaning of Point 33 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 6 May 1999 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and improvement of the budgetary procedure(6), for the budgetary authority during the annual budgetary procedure.
(15) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Decision should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission(7),
1. A computerised system for the movement and surveillance of excisable products of the kind referred to in Article 3(1) of Directive 92/12/EEC, hereinafter referred to as "the computerised system", is hereby established.
2. The computerised system is intended to:
(a) permit the electronic transmission of the accompanying document provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 2719/92, and the improvement of checks;
(b) improve the functioning of the internal market, by simplifying the intra-Community movement of products under excise duty suspension arrangements, and by affording Member States the possibility of monitoring the flows in real time and of carrying out the requisite checks where necessary.
Member States and the Commission shall establish the computerised system within six years of the entry into force of this Decision.
Activities relating to the initiation of application of the computerised system shall begin not later than 12 months after the entry into force of this Decision.
1. The computerised system shall be made up of Community and non-Community components.
2. The Commission shall ensure that in work on the Community components of the computerised system every attention is paid to re-using as much of the NCTS as possible and ensuring that the computerised system is compatible with, and, if technically possible, integrated into, the NCTS with the objective of creating an integrated computer system for the surveillance both of intra-Community movements of excisable goods and of movements of excisable goods and goods subject to other duties and charges coming from or going to third countries.
3. The Community components of the system shall be the common specifications, the technical products, the services of the Common Communications Network/Common Systems Interface network, and the coordination services used by all the Member States, to the exclusion of any variant or special feature of any such services designed to meet national requirements.
4. The non-Community components of the system shall be the national specifications, the national databases forming part of the system, network connections between Community and non-Community components and any software or equipment which a Member State considers necessary to ensure full use of the system throughout its administration.
1. The Commission, acting in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 7(2), shall coordinate the setting up and running of the Community and non-Community components of the computerised system, and in particular:
(a) the infrastructure and tools needed to guarantee the system's internal links and overall interoperability;
(b) the development of a security policy of the highest standard possible in order to prevent unauthorised access to data and to guarantee the integrity of the system;
(c) the instruments for the exploitation of data to combat fraud.
2. To achieve the aims of paragraph 1, the Commission shall conclude the necessary contracts for setting up the Community components of the computerised system and shall, in cooperation with the Member States meeting within the Committee referred to in Article 7(1), draw up a master plan and management plans required for the establishment and running of the system.
The master plan and the management plans shall specify the initial and routine tasks which the Commission and each Member State are to perform. The management plans shall specify the completion dates for the tasks required for carrying out each project identified in the master plan.
1. Member States shall ensure that they complete, by the date specified in the management plans mentioned in Article 4(2), the initial and routine tasks allocated to them.
They shall report to the Commission the results of each task and the date of its completion. The Commission shall in turn inform the Committee referred to in Article 7(1) thereof.
2. No Member State shall take any action relating to the setting up or running of the computerised system that might affect the system's internal links and overall interoperability or its functioning as a whole.
Any measure that a Member State might wish to take and that could affect either the computerised system's internal links and overall interoperability or its functioning as a whole shall be taken only with the prior agreement of the Commission, acting in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 7(2).
3. Member States shall inform the Commission regularly of any measure they may have taken to enable their respective administrations to make full use of the computerised system. The Commission shall in turn inform the Committee referred to in Article 7(1) thereof.
The measures necessary for the implementation of this Decision relating to the setting up and running of the computerised system and to the matters referred to in Article 4(1) and in Article 5(2) second subparagraph shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 7(2). These implementing measures shall not affect the Community provisions in relation to the raising and checking of indirect taxes or administrative cooperation and mutual assistance in matters of indirect taxation.
1. The Commission shall be assisted by the Committee on Excise Duties set up under Article 24 of Directive 92/12/EEC.
2. Where reference is made to this paragraph, Articles 4 and 7 of Decision 1999/468/EC shall apply, having regard to the provisions of Article 8 thereof.
The period laid down in Article 4(3) of Decision 1999/468/EC shall be set at three months.
3. The Committee shall adopt its rules of procedure.
1. The Commission shall take whatever other steps are necessary to verify that the measures financed from the general budget of the European Union are being carried out correctly and in compliance with the provisions of this Decision.
It shall regularly, in collaboration with the Member States, meeting in the Committee referred to in Article 7(1), monitor the various development and deployment stages of the computerised system with a view to determining whether the objectives pursued have been achieved, and to issuing guidelines on how to raise the effectiveness of the activities involved in implementing the computerised system.
2. 30 months after the entry into force of this Decision, the Commission shall submit to the Committee referred to in Article 7(1) an interim report on the monitoring operations. If appropriate, this report shall set out methods and criteria to be used in the later evaluation of how the computerised system is functioning.
3. At the end of the six-year period referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 2, the Commission shall present to the European Parliament and the Council a report on the implementation of the computerised system. The report shall set out, inter alia, the methods and criteria to be used in the later evaluation of how the system is functioning.
The countries that have applied for membership of the European Union shall be kept informed by the Commission of the development and deployment of the computerised system and may, if they so desire, take part in the tests to be carried out.

(1) Recent pharmacovigilance incidents in the Union have shown the need for an automatic procedure at Union level in cases of specific safety issues to ensure that a matter is assessed and addressed in all Member States where the medicinal product is authorised. The scope of different Union procedures concerning products authorised at national level, as laid down in Directive 2001/83/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 November 2001 on the Community code relating to medicinal products for human use (3), should be clarified.
(2) In addition, voluntary action by the marketing authorisation holder should not lead to a situation where concerns relating to the risks or benefits of a medicinal product authorised in the Union are not properly addressed in all Member States. Therefore, the marketing authorisation holder should be obliged to inform the relevant competent authorities and the European Medicines Agency of the reasons for withdrawing or interrupting the placing on the market of a medicinal product, for requesting that a marketing authorisation be revoked, or for not renewing a marketing authorisation.
(3) It is appropriate to further clarify and strengthen the Normal Procedure and the Urgent Union Procedure in order to ensure coordination, swift assessment in case of urgency and the possibility to take immediate action, where necessary to protect public health, before a decision is taken at Union level. The Normal Procedure should be initiated for matters concerning quality, safety or efficacy of medicinal products where the interests of the Union are involved. The Urgent Union Procedure should be initiated when there is a need to swiftly assess concerns resulting from the evaluation of data from pharmacovigilance activities. Regardless of whether the Urgent Union Procedure or the Normal Procedure is applied, and regardless of the procedure by means of which the medicinal product was authorised, be it centralised or otherwise, the Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee should always give its recommendation when the reason for taking action is based on pharmacovigilance data. It is appropriate that the coordination group and the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use rely on that recommendation when carrying out the assessment of the issue.
(4) It is appropriate that Member States bring cases concerning new contraindications, reductions in the recommended dose or restrictions to the indication for medicinal products authorised in accordance with the decentralised procedure and the mutual recognition procedure to the attention of the coordination group when the Urgent Union Procedure is not initiated. In order to ensure harmonisation for those products, the coordination group may discuss whether any action is necessary in the event that no Member State has triggered the Normal Procedure.
(5) Since the objective of this Directive, namely to harmonise the rules on pharmacovigilance across the Union, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective.
(6) Directive 2001/83/EC should therefore be amended accordingly,
Directive 2001/83/EC is hereby amended as follows:
(1) in Article 23a, the second paragraph is replaced by the following:
(2) Article 31 is amended as follows:

(d) it is informed by the marketing authorisation holder that, on the basis of safety concerns, the holder has interrupted the placing on the market of a medicinal product or has taken action to have a marketing authorisation withdrawn, or intends to take such action or has not applied for the renewal of a marketing authorisation.

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3667/91 of 11 December 1991 opening and provding for the administration of a Community tariff quota for meat of bovine animals, frozen, falling within CN code 0202 and products falling within CN code 0206 29 91 (1992)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, for meat of bovine animals, frozen, falling within CN code 0202 and products falling within CN code 0206 29 91, the Community has undertaken, within the framework of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), to open an annual Community tariff quota at a rate of duty of 20 %, the quantity of which expressed in weight of boned or boneless meat, has been fixed at 53 000 tonnes; whereas that quota should accordingly be opened for 1992;
Whereas there should be a guarantee of, in particular, access by all interested traders within Community to the quota and of uninterrupted application of the rate laid down for that quota to all imports of the products in question until the quota is exhausted;
Whereas the arrangements consists of the allocation by the Commission of the quantities available to the traditional operators and to operators engaging in trade in beef and veal, so as to give the latter progressive access to the benefits of those arrangements; whereas, in view of this, the opportunities for access should be widened by increasing the proportion allocated to the latter operators; whereas, in order to ensure that their activities are genuine, only quantities of a certain size representative of trade with third countries should be considered;
Whereas, in order to ensure the quota is fully utilized, it is necessary to set a time limit for lodging import licence applications and to allow the transfer of any quantities that have not been applied for at that date during the last quarter of 1992, and their allocation to operators on the basis of the quantities remaining rather than the original allocation criteria;
Whereas the detailed rules for the application for this Regulation should be drawn up in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 27 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1628/91 (2),
1. A Community tariff quota for meat of bovine animals, frozen, falling within CN code 0202 and products falling within CN code 0206 29 91, totalling 53 000 tonnes, expressed in weight of boned or boneless meat, is hereby opened for 1992.
For the purposes of counting against the said quota, 100 kilograms of bone-in meat shall be equivalent to 77 kilograms of boned or boneless meat.
2. For the purposes of this Regulation, meat which is presented frozen at the time of acceptance of the import declaration shall be deemed frozen meat;
3. The Common Customs Tariff duty applicable to the quota shall be 20 %.
The quota of 53 000 tonnes shall be divided into two parts as follows:
(a) the first, equal to 80 % or 42 400 tonnes, shall be apportioned between importers who can prove they have imported frozen meat falling within CN code 0202 or products falling within CN code 0206 29 91 to which these import arrangements apply during the last three years;
(b) the second, equal to 20 % or 10 600 tonnes, shall be apportioned between operators who can prove that they engage in trade, involving a minimum quantity and for a period to be determined, with third countries in beef and veal other than that to which these import arrangements apply and excluding meat which is the subject of inward or outward processing traffic.
1. Quantities which have not been covered by an import licence application at 31 August 1992 shall be the subject of a further allocation during the fourth quarter of that year, without account necessarily being taken of the apportionment referred to in Article 2.
2. Member States shall notify the Commission, before 16 September 1992, of quantities not applied for at 31 August of that year.
Detailed rules for the application of this Regulation shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 27 of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68, and in particular rules on:
(a) the apportionment and allocation of quantities available between the operators referred to in Article 2; and
(b) the conditions governing the issue and the term of validity of import licences.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 January 1992. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

| Commission Regulation (EC) No 1443/2003
of 13 August 2003
opening a standing invitation to tender for the resale on the Community market of rice from the 1999 harvest held by the Italian intervention agency
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 411/2002(2), and in particular Article 8(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 75/91(3) provides, among other things, that paddy rice held by intervention agencies is to be sold by tendering procedure at prices preventing market disturbance.
(2) Italy still has intervention stocks of paddy rice from the 1999 harvest whose quality is in danger of deteriorating as a result of prolonged storage.
(3) In the present production situation where concessions for rice imports are being granted under international agreements and restrictions are being applied to subsidised exports, disposing of this rice on traditional markets inside the Community would inevitably result in an equivalent quantity being placed in intervention, which must be avoided.
(4) This rice can be disposed of by processing it into broken rice or into a form suitable for use in animal feed, on certain conditions.
(5) In order to ensure that the rice really is processed, the procedure should be specially monitored and the successful tenderer should provide a security, to be released on conditions to be laid down.
(6) The undertakings given by tenderers must be regarded as primary requirements within the meaning of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2220/85 of 22 July 1985 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of securities for agricultural products(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1932/1999(5).
(7) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3002/92(6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 770/96(7), lays down common detailed rules for verifying the use of products from intervention. Procedures should also be laid down to ensure the traceability of the products used for animal feed.
(8) So that the quantities awarded can be managed accurately, an allocation coefficient should be fixed for tenders offering the minimum selling price, while allowing tenderers to specify a minimum quantity awarded below which they do not wish their tender to stand.
(9) When the Italian intervention agency notifies the Commission, the tenderers should remain anonymous.
(10) While respecting the tenderers' anonymity, they should be identified by numbers so that it is evident which have submitted several tenders and what prices they have offered.
(11) For control purposes, tenders must be traceable by their reference numbers, while safeguarding anonymity.
(12) With a view to modernising management, the information required by the Commission should be sent by electronic mail.
(13) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The Italian intervention agency shall launch a standing invitation to tender for the sale on the internal market of the Community of quantities of rice from the 1999 harvest, held by it and previously notified to the Commission under Regulation (EEC) No 75/91, in particular Articles 2 and 5 thereof, as set out in Annex I hereto, with a view to its processing into broken rice within the meaning of Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, or into a form suitable for use in animal feed (CN code 2309 ).
1. The sale provided for in Article 1 shall take place in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 75/91.

- that they will incorporate this product in feed within three months of the date of the award of the contract, except in cases of force majeure;
(ii) where the tenderers are rice mills:
- that within two months of the date of the award of the contract they will carry out the treatments described in Annex IV, under the supervision of the competent authorities and at a place determined in agreement with them, with a view to verifying the use made of the rice and ensuring the traceability of the products,
- that they will incorporate this product in feed within four months of the date of the award of the contract, except in cases of force majeure;
(c) that they will bear the costs of the processing and treatment of the products;
(d) that they will keep stock records demonstrating that they have respected their undertakings.
1. At least eight days before the closing date of the first period for the submission of tenders, the Italian intervention agency shall publish a notice of invitation to tender.

(c) a written undertaking by the tenderer to lodge a security for an amount equivalent to the difference between the intervention price for paddy rice applicable on the tender date plus EUR 15 and the price tendered per tonne of rice not later than two working days after the date of receipt of the notice of award of contract.
2. Once submitted, a tender may not be altered or withdrawn.
3. In case the Commission is required to fix an award coefficient for the quantities offered for sale as provided for in the second paragraph of Article 7, tenderers should indicate any minimum awarded quantity below which they do not wish their tender to stand.
1. The closing date for the submission of tenders for the first partial tendering procedure shall be 26 August 2003 at 12.00 (Brussels time).
2. The closing dates for the submission of tenders for subsequent partial tendering procedures shall be each Tuesday at 12.00 (Brussels time).

2. For each type of processing and for each partial tendering procedure, the tenderers shall be assigned an individual number, starting at 1, by the Italian intervention agency.
To ensure anonymity, the numbers shall be allocated randomly and separately for each type of processing and each partial tendering procedure.
The reference numbers of each tender shall be given by the Italian intervention agency in such a way as to ensure that the tenderers remain anonymous. For the entire standing tendering procedure, each tender shall be identified by its own reference number.
3. The notification referred to in paragraph 1 shall be made by electronic mail to the address given in Annex V using the form provided to the Italian intervention agency by the Commission for that purpose.
The notification must be made even if no tenders are submitted. In that case, it must state that no tenders have been received within the deadline laid down.
4. The Italian intervention agency shall also notify the Commission of the information as specified in Annex V for rejected tenders, stating why they were rejected.
For each type of processing, the Commission shall set the minimum sale price or decide not to award any quantities. In the event that tenders are submitted for the same lot and for a quantity larger than that available, the Commission may fix this price separately for each lot.
Where tenders offer the minimum sale price, the Commission may fix an award coefficient for the quantities offered at the same time as it fixes the minimum sale price.
This Decision shall be taken in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95.
The intervention agency shall immediately notify all tenderers of the outcome of their participation in the tendering procedure.
Within three working days of the notification referred to in the first paragraph, it shall send notices of award of contract to successful tenderers by registered letter or written telecommunication.
Successful tenderers shall pay for the rice before it is removed, and at the latest within one month of the date of dispatch of the notice referred to in the second paragraph of Article 8.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1032/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3669/93 (2), and in particular Article 29 (2) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2707/72 (3) lays down the conditions for applying protective measures to fruit and vegetables;
Whereas, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1859/93 (4), the release into free circulation in the Community of garlic imported from third countries is subject to the presentation of an import licence; whereas, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2448/93 (5), the issue of such licences for garlic originating in China was suspended from 2 September to 31 December 1993;
Whereas on 26 April 1994 France requested the Commission to take protective measures against imports of garlic originating in China; whereas on 10 May 1994 that request was supplemented by additional information;
Whereas 21 951 tonnes of garlic originating in China were imported into the Community between January and November 1993, representing an increase of 121 % over the same period in 1993 and 254 % with regard to the average quantity imported in the same period during the years 1988 to 1990; whereas, from January to April 1994, import licences have been issued in request of 3 244 tonnes;
Whereas, given their price, continuation of these imports could cause serious disturbances on the Community market such as to jeopardize the objectives of Article 39 of the EC Treaty and in particular to cause serious harm to Community producers; whereas, on account of these circumstances, protective measures should be taken before the beginning of the 1994/95 marketing year;
Whereas, to that end, the issue of import licences for the 1994/95 marketing year should be restricted to a certain quantity, apportioned as between periods of time, and issue should be suspended when that quantity is reached,

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 76/769/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations(1), as last amended by Commission Directive 2001/91/EC(2), and in particular Article 2a thereof, introduced by Council Directive 89/678/EEC(3),
Whereas:
(1) Commission Directive 1999/51/EC(4) adapting to technical progress for the fifth time Annex I to Directive 76/769/EEC, prohibits the use of organostannic compounds in antifouling applications on the hulls of boats of less than twenty-five metres and vessels of any length used predominantly on inland waters. This Directive calls for a review of the provisions in relation to organostannic compounds used in antifouling products taking full account of developments within the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and in particular, the call of their Marine Environment Protection Committee for a global prohibition of the application of organostannic compounds which act as biocides in antifouling systems on ships by 1 January 2003.
(2) Scientific studies have shown that certain antifouling systems used on ships pose a substantial risk to the aquatic environment. An IMO International Convention on the Control of Harmful Antifouling Systems, agreed at an IMO Diplomatic Conference in October 2001, includes a prohibition from 1 January 2003, on the application or re-application to ships of organotin compounds which act as biocides in antifouling systems.
(3) The prohibition of application or re-application of organostannic compounds directly affects the functioning of the internal market in organostannic compounds and it is therefore necessary to approximate the laws of the Member States in this field and consequently to amend Annex I to Directive 76/769/EEC and in particular, Directive 1999/51/EC.
(4) A Regulation of the European Parliament and the Council will address measures in relation to vessels treated with organostanic compounds.
(5) Directive 94/25/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(5) regulates pleasure craft and these craft shall also be subject to the same restrictions as other boats.
(6) This Directive does not affect Community legislation laying down minimum requirements for the protection of workers contained in Council Directive 89/391/EEC(6) and in individual directives based thereon, in particular Council Directive 90/394/EEC(7), as last amended by Directive 1999/38/EC(8), and Council Directive 98/24/EC(9) on protection of health and safety of workers from chemical agents at work.
(7) This Directive does not affect Community legislation covering the use of organostannic compounds in food-contact plastics contained in Commission Directive 90/128/EEC of 23 February 1990 relating to plastics materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs(10), as last amended by Directive 2002/17/EC(11).
(8) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the adaptation to technical progress of directives on the removal of technical barriers to trade in dangerous substances and preparations,
Annex I to Directive 76/769/EEC is hereby adapted to technical progress as set out in the Annex hereto.
Member States shall adopt and publish the provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 31 October 2002 at the latest. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof. They shall apply these provisions on 1 January 2003.
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.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in eggs(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 493/2002(2), and in particular Article 8(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) The present market situation in certain third countries and that regarding competition on particular third country markets make it necessary to fix a refund differentiated by destination for certain products in the egg sector.
(3) It follows from applying these rules and criteria to the present situation on the market in eggs that the refund should be fixed at an amount which would permit Community participation in world trade and would also take account of the nature of these exports and their importance at the present time.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs,
The list of codes of products for which, when they are exported, the export refund referred to in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 is granted, and the amount of that refund shall be as shown in the Annex hereto.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1), and in particular Article 29(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 of 14 December 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards the import arrangements for milk and milk products and opening tariff quotas (2) as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2020/2006 (3) provides for the management of the WTO tariff quota for New Zealand butter on the basis of import licences allocated twice a year following the licence application periods as provided for in Article 34a.
(2) When import licences were allocated for the second half of 2007 for butter originating in New Zealand under quota number 09.4182 referred to in Annex III.A of Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001, applications for licences covered quantities less than those available for the products concerned. As a result, a quantity of 9 958,6 tonnes was not allocated.
(3) Given that the quota has always been entirely used before new management rules were introduced on 1 January 2007, the underuse may be the result of importers not yet accommodated to the new provisions and procedures.
(4) It is therefore appropriate to provide for an additional allocation period for the remaining quantity, and to reduce the security in order to facilitate access to traders.
(5) In addition to the notifications provided for in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (4), the necessary communications between the Member States and the Commission should be specified, in particular for the purpose of monitoring the market in the case of New Zealand butter.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
1. Save as otherwise provided for in this Regulation, Articles 34 to 42 of Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 shall apply to the import of a quantity of 9 958,6 tonnes of butter for the year 2007 under quota number 09.4182 referred to in Annex III.A to that Regulation.
2. By way of derogation from Article 34a(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001, licence applications may be lodged only during the first 10 days of September 2007.
3. For the purposes of application of this Regulation, the available quantity referred to in Article 34a(4)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 shall be 9 958,6 tonnes.
4. Import licences issued under this Regulation shall be valid until 31 December 2007.
5. By way of derogation from Article 35 of Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001, the security referred to in Article 15(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 (5) shall be EUR 10 per 100 kilograms net of product.
6. By way of derogation from the third paragraph of Article 35b of Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001, box 20 of the licences shall show one of the entries listed in the Annex to this Regulation.
In Article 35a(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001, the following subparagraph is added:
‘Before the 15th of the month of application, the Member States shall also communicate to the Commission the names and the addresses of the applicants, broken down by quota number.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2392/86 of 24 July 1986 establishing a Community vineyard register(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1631/98(2), and in particular Article 9(3) thereof,
After consulting the EAGGF Committee,
Whereas:
(1) Article 9(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2392/86 states that the Community is to contribute 50 % of the actual cost of establishing the Community vineyard register in the Member States and of the investment in data-processing facilities needed to manage the register.
(2) On the basis of Article 9(3) of that Regulation, advances have been paid to France. They are to be deducted from the total amount of the Community contribution.
(3) Under Article 9(4) of that Regulation, Articles 8 and 9 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999(3) apply to the Community contribution to establishing the vineyard register.
(4) France has sent the Commission the documents needed to decide on the amount to be defrayed as expenditure incurred in establishing the register.
(5) The Commission has carried out the checks provided for in Article 9(2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70(4) and Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999.
(6) In the light of the checks carried out, some of the expenditure declared by France does not meet the statutory requirements and therefore may not be funded by the Community.
(7) A breakdown of the amounts to be defrayed and the amounts to be excluded for failure to comply with Community rules was sent to France on 25 October 2001,
The Community contribution to the expenditure incurred by France in establishing the Community vineyard register shall be as set out in the table annexed to this Decision.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2013 on the Common Fisheries Policy, amending Council Regulations (EC) No 1954/2003 and (EC) No 1224/2009 and repealing Council Regulations (EC) No 2371/2002 and (EC) No 639/2004 and Council Decision 2004/585/EC (1), and in particular Articles 15(6) and 18(1) and (3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 aims to progressively eliminate discards in all Union fisheries through the introduction of a landing obligation for catches of species subject to catch limits.
(2) Article 15(6) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 empowers the Commission to adopt discard plans by means of a delegated act for a period of no more than 3 years on the basis of joint recommendations developed by Member States in consultation with the relevant Advisory Councils.
(3) Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Finland and Sweden have a direct fisheries management interest in the Baltic Sea. Those Member States have submitted a joint recommendation (2) to the Commission, after consulting the Baltic Sea Advisory Council. Scientific contribution was obtained from relevant scientific bodies. The measures included in the joint recommendation comply with Article 15(6) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 and therefore, in line with Article 18(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 they should be included in this Regulation.
(4) In accordance with Article 15(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 the landing obligation should apply to catches of species subject to catch limits caught in small pelagic fisheries, which are fisheries for herring and sprat and in fisheries for industrial purposes in the Baltic from 1 January 2015. It should also apply to such catches in fisheries for salmon at the latest from that date. Cod is considered as a species defining certain fisheries in the Baltic Sea. Plaice is mostly caught as a by-catch in certain cod fisheries and is subject to catch limits. In accordance with Article 15(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 the landing obligation should in consequence apply to cod at the latest from 1 January 2015 and to plaice at the latest from 1 January 2017. In accordance with the joint recommendation, this discard plan should therefore cover all catches of herring, sprat, salmon, cod and plaice in fisheries in the Baltic Sea from 1 January 2015 or from 1 January 2017, as appropriate.
(5) The joint recommendation includes an exemption from the landing obligation for salmon and cod caught with trap-nets, creels/pots, fyke-nets and pound nets. That exemption is based on scientific evidence of high survivability, provided by the Baltic Sea Fisheries Forum (BALTFISH) and reviewed by the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF). STECF notes that most of the information required to justify such exemptions are included in the BALTFISH joint recommendation (3). STECF concluded that based on the fact that such gears operate by trapping fish inside a static netting structure, as opposed to entangling or hooking for example, it seemed reasonable to assume that mortality for these gears will also be low, typically less than 10 %. However, STECF advised that further work should be undertaken to confirm whether the lower mortality assumption was valid as well as on handling practices and prevailing environmental conditions. Therefore, the exemption concerned should be included in this Regulation.
(6) According to Article 15(10) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, minimum conservation reference sizes (MCRS) may be established with the aim of ensuring the protection of juveniles of marine organisms. Currently, a minimum size of 38 cm applies to cod by virtue of Council Regulation (EC) No 2187/2005 (4). Scientific evidence reviewed by the STECF supports the fixing of minimum conservation reference size for cod at 35 cm. In particular, STECF concluded that there may be sound biological reasons for decreasing the current minimum size of 38 cm to reduce the current levels of discarding. It also concluded that under the landing obligation, setting a MCRS for cod at 35 cm would reduce the level of catches that may not be sold for human consumption and that there were no arguments related to first spawning to support the fixing of MCRS at 38 cm in the Baltic. Therefore, the MCRS for cod in the Baltic should be fixed at 35 cm.
(7) This Regulation should apply from 1 January 2015 in order to comply with the time- frame set out in Article 15(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013. In accordance with Article 15(6) of that Regulation, it should apply for no more than 3 years,
Subject matter
This Regulation specifies the details for implementing the landing obligation, as provided for in Article 15(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, of the Baltic Sea, as defined in Article 4(2)(b) of that Regulation:
(a) from 1 January 2015 as regards fisheries for herring, sprat, salmon and cod;
(b) from 1 January 2017 as regards plaice caught in all fisheries.
Survivability exemption
By way of derogation from Article 15(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, the landing obligation shall not apply to cod and salmon caught with trap-nets, creels/pots, fyke-nets and pound nets. All such cod and salmon may be released back into the sea.
Minimum conservation reference sizes
The minimum conservation reference size for cod in the Baltic Sea shall be 35 cm.

of 25 May 2000
providing for the granting of compensation to producers' organisations in respect of tuna delivered to the processing industry from 1 July to 30 September 1999
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 of 17 December 1992 on the common organisation of the market in fishery and aquaculture products(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3318/94(2), and in particular Article 18(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The compensatory allowance provided for in Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 is to be granted under certain conditions to Community tuna producers' organisations in respect of quantities of tuna delivered to the processing industry during the calendar quarter for which prices have 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 are lower than 91 % of the Community producer price for the product concerned.
(2) An examination of the situation on the Community market has shown that in the period 1 July to 30 September 1999 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 more than 10 kg each, yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) not weighing more than 10 kg each and skipjack or stripe-bellied bonito (Euthynnus (Katsuwonus) pelamis) were lower than 91 % of the Community producer price in force laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 2763/98 of 17 December 1998 fixing, for the 1999 fishing year, the Community producer price for tuna intended for the industrial manufacture of products falling within CN code 1604(3).
(3) The amount of the allowance 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.
(4) 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.
(5) The quantities of yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) not weighing more than 10 kg each 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 18(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92, the total quantities of those products on which compensation is payable should therefore be limited.
(6) 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 producers' organisation, the quantities on which the allowance is payable should be allocated among the producers' organisations concerned in proportion to the quantities produced by them in the same quarter of the 1996, 1997 and 1998 fishing years.
(7) A decision should therefore be taken to grant the allowance on the products in question for the period 1 July to 30 September 1999.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,
The compensatory allowance provided for in Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 shall be granted for the period 1 July to 30 September 1999 in respect of the following product:
>TABLE>
1. The total quantities on which the allowance for these species is payable shall be:
>TABLE>
2. The allocation of the total quantity among the producers' organisations concerned shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
Entitlement to the compensatory allowance shall be determined on the basis of sales covered by invoices the date of which falls within the quarter concerned and used to calculate the average monthly selling price referred to in Article 7(1)(b) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2210/93(4).
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sugar(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(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 Article 1(2) and Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 stipulates that the cif import price for molasses, hereinafter referred to as the "representative price", should be set in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(4). That price should be fixed for the standard quality defined in Article 1 of the above Regulation.
(2) The representative price for molasses is calculated at the frontier crossing point into the Community, in this case Amsterdam; that price must be based on the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market established on the basis of the quotations or prices on that market adjusted for any deviations from the standard quality. The standard quality for molasses is defined in Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(3) When the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market are being established, account must be taken of all available information on offers on the world market, on the prices recorded on important third-country markets and on sales concluded in international trade of which the Commission is aware, either directly or through the Member States. Under Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68, the Commission may for this purpose take an average of several prices as a basis, provided that this average is representative of actual market trends.
(4) The information must be disregarded if the goods concerned are not of sound and fair marketable quality or if the price quoted in the offer relates only to a small quantity that is not representative of the market. Offer prices which can be regarded as not representative of actual market trends must also be disregarded.
(5) If information on molasses of the standard quality is to be comparable, prices must, depending on the quality of the molasses offered, be increased or reduced in the light of the results achieved by applying Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(6) A representative price may be left unchanged by way of exception for a limited period if the offer price which served as a basis for the previous calculation of the representative price is not available to the Commission and if the offer prices which are available and which appear not to be sufficiently representative of actual market trends would entail sudden and considerable changes in the representative price.
(7) Where there is a difference between the trigger price for the product in question and the representative price, additional import duties should be fixed under the conditions set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95. Should the import duties be suspended pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95, specific amounts for these duties should be fixed.
(8) Application of these provisions will have the effect of fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for the products in question as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The representative prices and the additional duties applying to imports of the products referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 are fixed in the Annex hereto.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (1), and in particular Article 23a(g) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 lays down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) in animals. It applies to the production and placing on the market of live animals and products of animal origin and in certain specific cases to exports thereof.
(2) Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 lays down the rules for the removal and disposal of specified risk material.
(3) Different factors indicate a favourable trend in the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) epidemic and a clear improvement of the situation in recent years due to the risk-reducing measures in place, in particular the total feed ban and the removal and destruction of specified risk material.
(4) One of the strategic goals the Commission’s TSE Roadmap, adopted on 15 July 2005 (2), is to ensure and maintain the current level of consumer protection by continuing to assure the safe removal of specified risk material but to modify the list or the age of animals for the removal of specified risk material based on new and evolving scientific opinions.
(5) In its opinion of 19 April 2007 the European Food Safety Authority concluded that on the basis of current scientific knowledge likely detectable infectivity in the central nervous system of cattle appears at about three quarters of the incubation period and that it can be predicted that the infectivity would be sub-detectable or still absent in cattle aged 33 months.
(6) The average age of BSE positive cases reported in the Community increased from 86 to 121 months between 2001 and 2006. In the same period, only seven BSE cases in bovine animals under the age of 35 months out of a total of 7 413 BSE cases, based in a total of more than 60 million bovine animals tested have been reported in the Community.
(7) A scientific basis therefore exists to review the age limit for the removal of certain specified risk materials in bovine animals, in particular as regards the vertebral column. In view of the development of the infectivity in the central nervous system during the incubation period, the age structure of positive BSE cases and the decrease in exposure of cattle born after 1 January 2001, the age limit for removing vertebral column, including dorsal root ganglia of bovine animals, as specified risk material can be increased from 24 to 30 months. Accordingly, the definition of specified risk material in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 should be amended.
(8) Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
In Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001, point 1(a)(ii) is replaced by the following:
‘(ii) the vertebral column excluding the vertebrae of the tail, the spinous and transverse processes of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar vertebrae and the median sacral crest and wings of the sacrum, but including the dorsal root ganglia, of animals aged over 30 months; and’

Whereas, by letter dated 4 December 1978, the United Kingdom Government requested the Commission to invoke the procedure laid down in Articles 4 and 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "JMR-1 Doppler satellite survey receiver", intended for measuring the total electron content of the ionosphere, should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 27 April 1979 within the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine this particular case;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a portable receiving and data recording system, which does not have the requisite objective technical characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research ; whereas this apparatus constitutes a special application of an instrument with normal technical characteristics ; whereas moreover it is an apparatus in current use in particular for locating mineral oil deposits under the sea bed ; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus ; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus,
The apparatus described as "JMR-1 Doppler satellite survey receiver" is not considered to be a scientific apparatus.

Whereas:
(1) The maximum residue limit (‘MRL’) for pharmacologically active substances intended for use in the Union in veterinary medicinal products for food-producing animals or in biocidal products used in animal husbandry are established in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 470/2009.
(2) Pharmacologically active substances and their classification regarding MRLs in foodstuffs of animal origin are set out in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 (2).
(3) Manganese carbonate is currently included in Table 1 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 as an allowed substance, for all food-producing species, for oral use only.
(4) An application for the extension of the existing entry for manganese carbonate to include parenteral use in bovine species has been submitted to the European Medicines Agency.
(5) According to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 the European Medicines Agency is to consider using MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in a particular foodstuff for another foodstuff derived from the same species, or MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in one or more species for other species.
(6) The Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use recommended the extension of MRL for manganese carbonate in bovine species to include parenteral use, and has recommended the extrapolation of the MRLs for manganese carbonate in bovine species to all food-producing species.
(7) Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 should therefore be amended to include the substance manganese carbonate for parenteral use in all food-producing species.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,
The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 235 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas, with effect from 1 January 1977, the external trade statistics of the Community and statistics of trade between Member States are produced in European units of account (EUA) as defined by Commission Decision No 3289/75/ECSC of 18 December 1975 on the definition and conversion of the unit of account to be used in Decisions, recommendations, opinions and communications for the purposes of the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community (2);
Whereas, since the adoption of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1736/75 of 24 June 1975 on the external trade statistics of the Community and statistics of trade between Member States (3), prices have developed in such a way that it is necessary to raise the statistical threshold from 250 to 300 EUA in order to enable the Member States to discontinue the statistical recording of consignments of minor or trifling importance if they wish to make use of this option for reasons of economy;
Whereas the present situation as regards exchange rates has resulted in the statistical threshold, as expressed in European units of account, being adjusted at shorter intervals than originally planned ; whereas the system can be simplified, as is required by the circumstances, by the inclusion of a provision for the statistical threshold to be adjusted under the procedure set out in Article 41 of Regulation (EEC) No 1736/75,
1. The text of Article 24 of Regulation (EEC) No 1736/75 shall be replaced as follows:
"Article 24
1. The statistical threshold shall be the limit, expressed in net weight and in value, below which no figures are compiled.
2. The statistical threshold may not exceed 1 000 kg regardless of the statistical value of the goods or 300 European units of account regardless of the net weight of the goods. Each Member State shall inform the Commission of the statistical threshold which it has adopted.
3. Such measures as may be required for purposes of changing the amount in European units of account fixed by paragraph 2, or of applying that paragraph, or of standardizing the statistical threshold shall be adopted in accordance with Article 41.
4. The European unit of account (EUA) is that defined by Commission Decision No 3289/75/ECSC of 18 December 1975 on the definition and conversion of the unit of account to be used in Decisions, recommendations, opinions and communications for the purposes of the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community (1)."
2. At the bottom of the page of Article 24 of Regulation (EEC) No 1736/75 the following reference shall be inserted:
"(1) OJ No L 327, 19.12.1975, p. 4."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. (1)OJ No C 299, 12.12.1977, p. 54. (2)OJ No L 327, 19.12.1975, p. 4. (3)OJ No L 183, 14.7.1975, p. 3.
