31998D0292 | 98/292/EC: Commission Decision of 22 April 1998 concerning the placing on the market of genetically modified maize (Zea mays L. line Bt-11), pursuant to Council Directive 90/220/EEC (Text with EEA relevance)
| COMMISSION DECISION of 22 April 1998 concerning the placing on the market of genetically modified maize (Zea mays L. line Bt-11), pursuant to Council Directive 90/220/EEC (Text with EEA relevance) (98/292/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/220/EEC of 23 April 1990 on the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 97/35/EC (2), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas Articles 10 to 18 of Directive 90/220/EEC lay down a Community procedure enabling the competent authorities of a Member State to give consent to the placing on the market of products containing, or consisting of, genetically modified organisms;
Whereas a notification concerning the placing on the market of such a product has been submitted to the competent authorities of the United Kingdom;
Whereas the product has been notified for handling in the environment during import and storage consistent with its use as an animal feed and the production of industrial and food products but not for further grain production;
Whereas the competent authorities of the United Kingdom have subsequently forwarded the dossier thereon to the Commission with a favourable opinion;
Whereas the competent authorities of other Member States have raised objections to the said dossier;
Whereas, as the product will enter the market of the Community mixed with other maize grain, including non-genetically modified maize grain, the notifier subsequently modified the proposed labelling in the original dossier as follows:
- exporters from countries where the product is grown, importers into the Community as well as the food and feed processing industry in the Community will be provided with product documentation informing them the possibility that the product may be present in bulk maize consignments,
- the product documentation to be provided will include, among others, information that the product has been produced by genetic modification as well as information on the potential uses of the product,
- the product documentation will also indicate that specific labelling requirements may be applicable in the Community for products derived from maize line Bt-11;
Whereas, the notifier subsequently supplemented the original dossier with further information;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 13(3) of Directive 90/220/EEC the Commission is required to take a decision in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 21 of that Directive;
Whereas the Commission sought the opinion of the relevant Scientific Committees established by Commission Decision 97/579/EC (3) on this dossier; whereas the opinion was delivered on 10 February 1998 by the Scientific Committee on Plants which concluded that there is no reason to believe that the import of this product with the aim of use as any other maize grain is likely to cause any adverse effects on human health and the environment;
Whereas the Commission, having examined each of the objections raised in the light of Directive 90/220/EEC, the information submitted in the dossier and the opinion of the Scientific Committee on Plants, has concluded that there is no reason to believe that there will be any adverse effects on human health or the environment from the introduction into maize of the synthetic cryIA (b) gene expressing resistance to certain lepidopteran pests and the synthetic pat gene expressing increased tolerance to glufosinate ammonium herbicides;
Whereas Article 11(6) and Article 16(1) of Directive 90/220/EEC provide additional safeguards if new information on risks of the product becomes available;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the committee established under Article 21 of Directive 90/220/EEC,
1. Without prejudice to other Community legislation, in particular Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and the Council (4), and subject to paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Article, consent shall be given by the competent authorities of the United Kingdom to the placing on the market of the following product, notified by Novartis Seeds Inc. (Ref. C/GB/96/M4/1):
grains of genetically modified maize line Bt-11 containing:
(a) a synthetic version of the cryIA (b) gene derived from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki strain HD1 under the control of a 35S promoter from Cauliflower Mosaic Virus, and IVS 6 intron from the maize alcohol dehydrogenase gene and the nopaline synthase terminator sequence of Agrobacterium tumefaciens, and
(b) a synthetic version of the pat gene derived from Streptomyces viridochromogenes under the control of a 35S promoter from Cauliflower Mosaic Virus, an IVS 2 intron from the maize alcohol dehydrogenase gene and the nopaline synthase terminator sequence of Agrobacterium tumefaciens.
2. The consent shall cover grains from progenies derived from crosses of maize line Bt-11 with any traditionally bred maize imported into the Community.
3. The consent shall cover the placing on the market of the product to be used as any other maize grain but not for cultivation.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/402/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of cereal seed (1), and in particular Article 17 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In Denmark the quantity of available seed of winter varieties of wheat (Triticum aestivum) suitable to the national climatic conditions and which satisfies the germination capacity requirements of Directive 66/402/EEC is insufficient and is therefore not adequate to meet the needs of the Member State.
(2) It is not possible to meet the demand for seed of that species satisfactorily with seed from other Member States or from third countries, which satisfies all the requirements laid down in Directive 66/402/EEC.
(3) Accordingly, Denmark should be authorised to permit the marketing of seed of that species subject to less stringent requirements for a period expiring on 30 November 2004.
(4) In addition, other Member States irrespective of whether the seed was harvested in a Member State or in a third country covered by Council Decision 2003/17/EC of 16 December 2002 on the equivalence of field inspections carried out in third countries on seed-producing crops and on the equivalence of seed produced in third countries (2) which are in a position to supply Denmark with seed of that species, should be authorised to permit the marketing of such seed.
(5) It is appropriate that Denmark act as coordinator in order to ensure that the total amount of seed authorised pursuant to this Decision does not exceed the maximum quantity covered by this Decision.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
The marketing in the Community of seed of winter wheat which does not satisfy the minimum germination capacity requirements laid down in Directive 66/402/EEC shall be permitted, for a period expiring on 30 November 2004, in accordance with the terms set out in the Annex to this Decision and subject to the following conditions:
(a) the germination capacity is at least 75 % of pure seed;
(b) the official label states the germination ascertained in the official examination carried out pursuant to Articles 2(1)(F)(d) and 2(1)(G)(d) of Directive 66/402/EEC;
(c) the seed must have been first placed on the market in accordance with Article 2 of this Decision.
Any seed supplier wishing to place on the market the seeds referred to in Articles 1 shall apply to the Member State in which he is established.
The Member State concerned shall authorise the supplier to place that seed on the market, unless:
(a) there is sufficient evidence to doubt as to whether the supplier is able to place on the market the amount of seed for which he has applied for authorisation; or
(b) the total quantity authorised to be marketed pursuant to the derogation concerned would exceed the maximum quantity specified in the Annex.
The Member States shall assist each other administratively in the application of this Decision.
Denmark shall act as coordinating Member State in order to ensure that the total amount authorised does not exceed the maximum quantity specified in the Annex.
Any Member State receiving an application under Article 2 shall immediately notify the coordinating Member State of the amount covered by the application. The coordinating Member State shall immediately inform the notifying Member State as to whether authorisation would result in the maximum quantity being exceeded.
Member States shall immediately notify the Commission and the other Member States of the quantities in respect of which they have granted marketing authorisation pursuant to this Decision.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 724/97 of 22 April 1997 determining measures and compensation relating to appreciable revaluations that affect farm incomes (1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 942/98 (2), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 3(1), first subparagraph, of Regulation (EC) No 724/97 as regards the pound sterling and the Swedish crown, the agricultural conversion rates applicable to the aid referred to in Article 7 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 of 28 December 1992 on the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 150/95 (4), shall not be reduced as a result of appreciable revaluations of the currencies concerned; whereas, however, Article 3(1), second subparagraph, of Regulation (EC) No 724/97 provides for a reduction in the agricultural conversion rate applicable to one of the aids referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 where, because of measures taken following an appreciable revaluation, that rate exceeds the current agricultural conversion rate by more than 11,5 %; whereas, in such cases, the conversion rate to be applied is equal to the current agricultural conversion rate plus 11,5 %;
Whereas the agricultural conversion rates for the pound sterling and the Swedish crown applicable to some of the aids referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 were reduced from 1 July 1998 to avoid differences of more than 11,5 % from the agricultural conversion rates current on that date; whereas, in order to facilitate the administration of the aids concerned, the rates applicable for them from 1 July 1998 should be specified and fixed;
Whereas Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 724/97 provides for compensation for the effects of the reduction in the agricultural conversion rates applicable to the aids referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92; whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 805/97 of 2 May 1997 laying down detailed rules for compensation relating to appreciable revaluations (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1425/98 (6), provides for supplementary amounts of compensatory aid to be paid in addition to that compensation; whereas the maximum supplementary amount of the first tranche of compensatory aid for the reduction in the aid referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 for which the operative event occurs on 1 July 1998 should be fixed for the United Kingdom and Sweden;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committees concerned,
1. The agricultural conversion rate of 1 ECU = 0,803724 pounds sterling, applicable on 30 June 1998 to the aids referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 for which the operative event occurs on 1 July 1998, shall be replaced from these latest dates in respect of the aids concerned by 1 ECU = 0,755249 pounds sterling.
2. The agricultural conversion rate of 1 ECU = SEK 9,90747, applicable on 30 June 1998 to the aids referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 for which the operative event occurs on 1 July 1998, shall be replaced from these latest dates in respect of the aids concerned by 1 ECU = SEK 9,80430.
1. The maximum supplementary amount of the first tranche of compensatory aid that may be granted as a result of the reduction in the agricultural conversion rate referred to in Article 1(1) shall be ECU 110,98 million for the United Kingdom.
2. The maximum supplementary amount of the first tranche of compensatory aid that may be granted as a result of the reduction in the agricultural conversion rate referred to in Article 1(2) shall be ECU 4,43 million for Sweden.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 of 20 December 1992 establishing a Community system for fisheries and aquaculture (1), and in particular Article 8(4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 45/98 (2) fixes, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the TACs for 1998 and certain conditions under which they may be fished;
Whereas it is desirable to set new TACs for 1998 in order to limit the catches of a number of additional fish stocks or group of fish stocks in the North Sea; whereas these TACs should be allocated among Member States in accordance with Article 8(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92;
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 45/98 should therefore be amended accordingly,
The tables in Annexes I and II to this Regulation shall be inserted, respectively, in Annexes I and III to Regulation (EC) No 45/98 in the appropriate species.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 638/93 (2), and in particular Article 27 (1) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 of 28 December 1992 on the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (3), and in particular Article 9 (1) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3824/92 of 28 December 1992 laying down the prices and amounts fixed in ecus to be amended as a result of the monetary realignments (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1330/93 (5), and in particular
Article 2
thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 23 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, reference prices valid for the whole Community are to be fixed at the beginning of the marketing year;
Whereas table grapes are produced in such quantities in the Community that reference prices should be fixed for them;
Whereas table grapes harvested during a given crop year are marketed from May to April of the next year; whereas the quantities harvested in May and June, during the first 20 days of July and also January to April of the next year are so small that there is no need to fix reference prices for these periods; whereas, due principally to developments in production techniques, a relatively large increase in the marketing of Community products during the last 10 days of November and in the month of December can be expected; whereas, however, the figures at present available are insufficiently conclusive to justify fixing a reference price for that period; whereas, reference prices should be fixed only for the period 21 July to 20 November inclusive;
Whereas Article 23 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 stipulates that reference prices are to be fixed at the same level as for the preceding marketing year, adjusted, after deducting the standard cost of transporting Community products between production areas and Community consumption centres in the preceding year, by:
- the increase in production costs for fruit and vegetables, less productivity growth, and
- the standard rate of transport costs in the current marketing year;
Whereas the resulting figure may nevertheless not exceed the arithmetic mean of producer prices in each Member State plus transport costs for the current year, after this amount has been increased by the rise in production costs less productivity growth; whereas the reference price may, however, not be lower than in the preceding marketing year;
Whereas, to take seasonal variations into account, the year should be divided into several periods and a reference price fixed for each of these periods;
Whereas producer prices are to correspond to the average of the prices recorded on the representative market or markets situated in the production areas where prices are lowest during the three years prior to the date on which the reference price is fixed, for a home-grown product with defined commercial characteristics, being a product or variety representing a substantial proportion of the production marketed over the year or over part thereof and satisfying specified requirements as regards market preparation; whereas, when the average of prices recorded on each representative market is being calculated, prices which could be considered excessively high or excessively low in relation to normal price fluctuations on that market are to be disregarded;
Whereas Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3820/92 of 28 December 1992 on transitional measures for the application of the agrimonetary arrangements laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 (6) establishes a correspondence between the provisions of the agrimonetary arrangements applicable from 1 January 1993 and those applicable before that date;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3824/92 establishes a list of prices and amounts for the fruit and vegetables sector which are to be divided by a coefficient of 1,012674, fixed by Regulation (EEC) No 537/93 (7), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1331/93 (8), as from the beginning of the 1993/94 marketing year; whereas Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3824/92 lays down that the resulting reduction in the prices and amounts for each sector concerned shall be specified and the level of such reduced prices fixed; whereas, however, this adjustment may not result in a reference price level below that of the preceding marketing year, in accordance with Article 23 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
For the 1993 marketing year, the reference prices for table grapes, falling within CN codes 0806 10 15 and 0806 10 19, expressed in ecus per 100 kilograms net of packed products of class I, of all sizes, shall be as follows:
21 July to 31 August: 51,92,
September and October: 49,20,
November (1 to 20): 44,87.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 21 July 1993.

Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93 establishes the conditions for granting the production refund; whereas the basis for the calculation is established in Article 3 of the said Regulation; whereas the refund thus calculated must be fixed once a month and may be altered if the price of maize and/or wheat changes significantly.
(2) The production refunds to be fixed in this Regulation should be adjusted by the coefficients listed in the Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93 to establish the exact amount payable.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The refund referred to in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93, expressed per tonne of starch extracted from maize, wheat, barley, oats, potatoes, rice or broken rice, shall be EUR 9,65/t.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3993/87 (2),
Whereas under the third subparagraph of Article 303 of the Act of Accession Portugal has been authorized, by Commission Decision 87/429/EEC (3), to import certain quantities of raw sugar from third countries at a reduced levy during the period 1 July 1987 to 30 June 1988; whereas the authorization, as amended by Commission Decision 87/568/EEC (4), was granted for 122 000 tonnes of white sugar; whereas on re-examination of the forward estimate on which the decision was based it emerges that, as a result of changes in the amount of Community raw sugar available to Portugal from the various sources of supply, the quantity should be raised to the final level of 142 000 tonnes;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
In Article 1 of Decision 87/429/EEC '122 000 tonnes of white sugar' is replaced by '142 000 tonnes of white sugar'.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 70/97 of 20 December 1996 concerning the arrangements applicable to imports into the Community of products originating in the Republics of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia and to imports of wine originating in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and the Republic of Slovenia(1), as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 2863/98(2), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 70/97 provides in its Articles 1 and 4 an exemption from customs duties in the framwork of tariff ceilings for the products originating in the Republics of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia listed in its Annexe C. Article 4(3) provides that the Commission may, as soon as a tariff ceiling is reached, adopt a Regulation re-introducing, until the end of the calendar year, the customs duties applicable to third countries in respect of imports of the products concerned;
(2) the Community surveillance provided by Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 70/97 has shown that preferential imports of products in the framework of the tariff ceiling with order Number 01.0160 have exceeded this ceiling;
(3) this situation is liable to cause serious damage to the Community sector concerned and requires the re-introduction of normal customs duties in respect of the Republics concerned;

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3018/86
of 30 September 1986
repealing the Regulation accepting the undertakings given respectively by exporters in Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, the German Democratic Republic, Poland and Romania in connection with the anti-dumping procedure concerning imports of standardized multi-phase electric motors having an output of more than 0,75 kW but not more than 75 kW originating in these countries
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 of 23 July 1984 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Whereas:
A. Proceeding
(1) In October 1985 the Groupement des industries de matériel d'équipement électrique et de l'électronique industrielle associés (Gimelec), supported by the Zentralverband der elektrotechnischen industries (Zvei), the Rotating Electrical Machines Association (REMA), the Fédération des entreprises de l'industrie des fabricants métallurgiques, mécaniques, électriques et de la transformation des matières plastiques (Fabrimetal) and the Associazione nazionale industrie elettrotecniche ed elettroniche (Anie), asked the Commission under Article 14 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 to review acceptance of the price undertakings given by exporters in connection with the previous proceeding concerning imports of standardized multi-phase electric motors having an output of more than 0,75 kW but not more than 75 kW, originating in Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, the German Democratic Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania or the USSR.
(2) During the previous proceeding, certain undertakings, given by the exporting companies Electroimpex (Bulgaria), Elektrim (Poland), AHB. Elektrotechnik (German Democratic Republic), Electro-Export-Import (Romania) and ZSE. (Czechoslovakia) were accepted by the Council under Regulation (EEC) No 2075/82 (2).
The exporters undertook to raise prices on their sales to the Community so as to offset the damaging effects of the dumping which had been proved.
(3) The request for review included evidence that dumping by the exporters from the countries concerned had continued and had even intensified considerably and that the price undertakings had been insufficient to remove the injury, and in particular to prevent, from 1982 to 1985, a substantial increase in the divergence between retail prices for Community motors and those for motors originating in State-trading countries.
The evidence presented was considered, after consultation, to indicate a sufficient change of circumstances to warrant a review of the Decisions taken in connection with the previous proceeding; the Commission therefore announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (3) the reopening of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of standardized multi-phase electric motors having an output of more than 0,75 kW but not more than 75 kW, originating in Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, the German Democratic Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania and the USSR. The Commission has carried out its investigation.
B. Review
(4) The review proceedings produced evidence that dumping had continued on a large scale. They also showed that the effect of the price undertakings had not, bearing in mind the change in circumstances and, in particular, Community producers' retail price trends, been to prevent substantial injury arising as a result of imports originating in State-trading countries.
(5) This being so, the Commission repealed its decisions accepting the undertakings and adopted, by means of Regulation (EEC) No 3019/86 (4) and with regard to the imports for which dumping had been proved, a protective measure in the form of a provisional anti-dumping duty.
C. Repeal of the undertakings accepted by the Council
(6) In parallel with the measures taken by the Commission, Regulation (EEC) No 2075/82, as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1275/84 (1), which accepts undertakings given respectively by the exporters of Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, the German Democratic Republic, Poland and Romania, should be repealed,
Regulation (EEC) No 2075/82 is hereby repealed.

of 4 October 2011
establishing a derogation from Council Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 as regards the minimum distance from coast and the minimum sea depth for boat seines fishing for transparent goby (Aphia minuta) in certain territorial waters of Italy
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 of 21 December 2006 concerning management measures for the sustainable exploitation of fishery resources in the Mediterranean Sea (1), and in particular Article 13(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 prohibits the use of towed gears within 3 nautical miles of the coast or within the 50 m isobath where that depth is reached.
(2) At the request of a Member State, the Commission may allow a derogation from the prohibition set out in Article 13(1)of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006, provided that a number of conditions set out in Article 13(5) and(9) are fulfilled.
(3) On 16 March 2010 Italy has requested a derogation from Article 13(1) of that Regulation for the use of boat seines fishing for transparent goby (Aphia minuta) in the territorial waters of the Geographical Sub-Area 9 (GSA 9), as defined under the Agreement establishing the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (2).
(4) The request covers vessels registered in the maritime Directorates of Genoa and Livorno which have a track record in the fishery of more than 5 years and operate under a management plan regulating boat seines fishing for transparent goby (Aphia minuta) in GSA 9.
(5) The Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) has assessed the derogation requested by Italy and the related draft management plan at its plenary session held from 8 to 12 November 2010.
(6) Italy has adopted the management plan by Decree (3) in accordance with Article 19(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006.
(7) The derogation requested by Italy complies with the conditions set out in Article 13(5) and (9) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006.
(8) In particular, given both the limited size of the continental shelf and the spatial distribution of the target species, which is exclusively limited to certain zones in the coastal areas at depths smaller than 50m, the fishing grounds are limited.
(9) Moreover, the fishery cannot be undertaken with other gears, has no significant impact on protected habitats and is very selective, since the seines are hauled in the water column and do not touch the seabed because collection of material from the seabed would damage the target species and make the selection of the fished species virtually impossible due to their very small size.
(10) The derogation requested by Italy affects a limited number of vessels, i.e. 142 vessels.
(11) The fishing activities concerned fulfil the requirements of Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 since the Italian management plan explicitly prohibits to fish above protected habitats.
(12) The requirements of Article 8(1)(h) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 are not applicable since they relate to trawlers.
(13) Since the fishing activities concerned are highly selective, have a negligible effect on the environment and are not carried out above protected habitats, they are eligible for the derogation to the minimum mesh size referred to in Article 9(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006. Therefore, the minimum mesh size rules set by Article 9(3)(2) do not apply.
(14) The Italian management plan includes measures for the monitoring of fishing activities, thus fulfilling the conditions set out in Article 23 and in the third subparagraph of Article 13(9) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006.
(15) The fishing activities concerned take place at a very short distance from the coast and therefore do not interfere with the activities of other vessels.
(16) The Italian management plan ensures that catches of species mentioned in Annex III are minimal and that the fishing activities do not target cephalopods.
(17) Italy communicated to the Commission the list of authorised fishing vessels and their characteristics, as well as the comparison with the characteristics of that fleet on 1 January 2000.
(18) Accordingly, the requested derogation should be granted.
(19) Italy should report to the Commission in due time and in accordance with the monitoring plan provided for in the Italian management plan.
(20) In line with the request by Italy, a limitation in duration of the derogation will allow ensuring prompt corrective management measures in case the report to the Commission will show a poor conservation status of the exploited stock while providing scope to improve the scientific basis for an improved management plan.
(21) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,
3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 shall not apply, in territorial waters of Italy adjacent to the coast of Liguria and Tuscany, to fishing for transparent goby (Aphia minuta) by boat seines which are used by vessels:
(a) registered in the maritime Directorates (Direzioni Marittime) of Genoa and Livorno respectively;
(b) having a track record in the fishery of more than 5 years; and
(c) holding a fishing authorisation and operating under the management plan adopted by Italy in accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 (hereinafter referred to as ‘the management plan’) (4).
This derogation shall apply until 31 March 2014.
Monitoring plan and report
Italy shall communicate to the Commission, by 1 May 2014, a report drawn up in accordance with the monitoring plan established in the management plan.
Entry into force
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

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), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 79/2003(4), 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(5). That price should be fixed for the standard quality defined in Article 1 of the above Regulation.
(2) The representative price for molasses is calculated at the frontier crossing point into the Community, in this case Amsterdam; that price must be based on the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market established on the basis of the quotations or prices on that market adjusted for any deviations from the standard quality. The standard quality for molasses is defined in Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(3) When the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market are being established, account must be taken of all available information on offers on the world market, on the prices recorded on important third-country markets and on sales concluded in international trade of which the Commission is aware, either directly or through the Member States. Under Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68, the Commission may for this purpose take an average of several prices as a basis, provided that this average is representative of actual market trends.
(4) The information must be disregarded if the goods concerned are not of sound and fair marketable quality or if the price quoted in the offer relates only to a small quantity that is not representative of the market. Offer prices which can be regarded as not representative of actual market trends must also be disregarded.
(5) If information on molasses of the standard quality is to be comparable, prices must, depending on the quality of the molasses offered, be increased or reduced in the light of the results achieved by applying Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(6) A representative price may be left unchanged by way of exception for a limited period if the offer price which served as a basis for the previous calculation of the representative price is not available to the Commission and if the offer prices which are available and which appear not to be sufficiently representative of actual market trends would entail sudden and considerable changes in the representative price.
(7) Where there is a difference between the trigger price for the product in question and the representative price, additional import duties should be fixed under the conditions set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95. Should the import duties be suspended pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95, specific amounts for these duties should be fixed.
(8) Application of these provisions will have the effect of fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for the products in question as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The representative prices and the additional duties applying to imports of the products referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 are fixed in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 29 August 2003.

Whereas:
(1) The import duties in the cereals sector applicable from 16 January 2009 were fixed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 27/2009 (3).
(2) As the average of the import duties calculated differs by more than EUR 5/tonne from that fixed, a corresponding adjustment must be made to the import duties fixed by Regulation (EC) No 27/2009.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 27/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly,

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3103/76 of 16 December 1976 on aid for durum wheat (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1455/82 (4), laid down general rules applying to the granting of such aid; whereas it specified that the aid would be granted to producers in certain regions of Italy, France and Greece and in particular to those located in mountain, hill and less-favoured areas as referred to in Council Directive 75/268/EEC (5), as last amended by Directive 84/169/EEC (6);
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2835/77 (7) set 30 April of each year as the final date for submission of applications for aid for durum wheat;
Whereas Council Directive 84/167/EEC of 28 February 1984 amending Directive 75/273/EEC concerning the Community list of less-favoured farming areas within the meaning of Directive 75/268/EEC (Italy) (8) extended the list of less-favoured farming areas in Italy; whereas this Directive took effect at a date that made it difficult for the abovementioned time limit of 30 April to be met in the new areas;
Whereas a derogation should therefore be introduced to apply to these areas;
Whereas, moreover, since farmers in these areas will be receiving aid for durum wheat for the first time, the aid applications submitted should, to the extent necessary, be the subject of closer scrutiny;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
1. In the areas added by Directive 84/167/EEC to the Community list of less-favoured agricultural areas, provided for by Directive 75/273/EEC, applications for aid for the 1984/85 marketing year must, by way of derogation from Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2835/77, be submitted to the competent Italian agency not later than 31 May 1984.
2. Italy shall, in addition to the measures laid down in Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 2835/77, adopt any measures which it considers necessary in order to carry out the checks specified in Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 3103/76.

After consultation of the Committee for the Development and conversion of Regions and the Committee refered to in Article 124 of the Treaty,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1866/90 (3) should be amended so as to permit sufficient flexibility in the implementation of the method of indexation applied in respect of the Structural Funds; whereas, therefore, neither the plans for financing Community support frameworks and the single programming document nor the amount of the grants decided upon and their financing plans should continue to give rise to indexation;
Whereas, on the other hand, the Community assistance available for the entire period should be calculated in a manner compatible with the progressive increase in the commitment appropriations shown in Annex II to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 of 24 June 1988 on the tasks of the Structural Funds and their effectiveness and on coordination of their activities between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2081/93 (5); whereas this assistance, set out in the decisions approving the Community support frameworks, in the single programming document and in decisions offering Community initiatives to the Member States, must therefore be indexed;
Whereas the new system should apply immediately;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee on Agricultural Structures and Rural Development and the Standing Management Committee on Fisheries Structures,
Regulation (EEC) No 1866/90 is amended as follows:
1. Article 2 is replaced by the following:
'Article 2
Community support frameworks, the single programming document and proposals for Community initiatives
Financing plans for Community support frameworks and the single programming document shall be drawn up in ecus and shall not give rise to indexation, subject to the second paragraph.

2. Article 4 is replaced by the following:
'Article 4

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2238/2000(2),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 71/97 of 10 January 1997 extending the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 2474/93, and maintained by Regulation (EC) No 1524/2000, on bicycles originating in the People's Republic of China to imports of certain bicycle parts from the People's Republic of China(3),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 88/97 of 20 January 1997 on the authorisation of the exemption of imports of certain bicycle parts originating in the People's Republic of China from the extension by Council Regulation (EC) No 71/97 of the anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2474/93 and maintained by Regulation (EC) No 1524/2000(4), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
(1) After the entry into force of Regulation (EC) No 88/97 a number of bicycle assemblers submitted requests pursuant to Article 3 of that Regulation for exemption of the anti-dumping duty as extended to imports of certain bicycle parts from the People's Republic of China by Regulation (EC) No 71/97 (the extended anti-dumping duty). The Commission has published in the Official Journal of the European Communities successive lists of applicants(5) for which payment of the extended anti-dumping duty in respect of their imports of essential bicycle parts declared for free circulation was suspended pursuant to Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 88/97.
(2) The Commission requested and received the necessary information from the parties listed in Article 1 of this Decision and found each of their requests to be admissible pursuant to Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 88/97. The information provided was examined and verified where necessary at the premises of the parties concerned.
(3) The facts as finally ascertained by the Commission show that the assembly operations of the applicants concerned do not fall within the scope of Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96. In particular, it was found that for all the applicants' bicycle assembly operations, the value of the parts originating in the People's Republic of China which were used in their assembly operations was lower than 60 % of the total value of the parts used in these assembly operations.
(4) For the above reasons, and in accordance with Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 88/97, the parties listed in Article 1 should be exempted from the extended anti-dumping duty. The parties concerned were informed accordingly and given an opportunity to comment.
(5) In accordance with Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 88/97, the exemption of the parties listed in Article 1 from the extended anti-dumping duty should take effect as from the date of receipt of their request and their customs debt in respect of the extended anti-dumping duty is to be considered void as from that date.
(6) A number of other parties, listed in Article 2 of this Decision, also requested an exemption from the extended anti-dumping duty but failed however to submit the necessary information requested by the Commission. Consequently, those parties should not be exempted under Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 88/97. The Commission informed the parties concerned that it intended to reject their requests for exemption from the extended duty, on the grounds that they had failed to provide the information or supporting evidence requested.
(7) Since the parties listed in Article 2 failed to meet the criteria for exemption, the suspension of payment of the extended anti-dumping duty should be lifted and the extended anti-dumping duty should be collected as from the date of receipt of their requests.
(8) Following the adoption of this Decision, an updated list of parties exempted pursuant to Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 88/97 and of parties whose requests pursuant to Article 3 of that Regulation are under examination should be published in the C series of the Official Journal of the European Communities in accordance with Article 16(2) of that Regulation,
The parties listed below are hereby exempted from the extension by Regulation (EC) No 71/97 of the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 2474/93, and maintained by Regulation (EC) No 1524/2000, on bicycles originating in the People's Republic of China to imports of certain bicycle parts from the People's Republic of China.
The exemptions shall take effect in relation to each party as from the relevant date shown in the column headed "Date of effect".
Exempted parties
>TABLE>
The requests for exemption from the extended anti-dumping duty made in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 88/97 by the parties listed below are hereby rejected.
The suspension of payment of the extended anti-dumping duty pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 88/97 is hereby lifted for the parties concerned as from the relevant date shown in the column headed "Date of effect".

fixing the corrective amount applicable to the refund on cereals
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 15(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 provides that the export refund applicable to cereals on the day on which an application for an export licence is made must be applied on request to exports to be effected during the period of validity of the export licence. In this case, a corrective amount may be applied to the refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down certain detailed rules under Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 on the granting of export refunds on cereals and the cereals and the measures to be taken in the event of disturbance on the market for cereals (2), allows for the fixing of a corrective amount for the products listed in Article 1(a), (b) and (c) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003. That corrective amount must be calculated taking account of the factors referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95.
(3) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the corrective amount according to destination.
(4) The corrective amount must be fixed according to the same procedure as the refund; it may be altered in the period between fixings.
(5) It follows from applying the provisions set out above that the corrective amount must be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The corrective amount referred to in Article 1(a), (b) and (c) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 which is applicable to export refunds fixed in advance except for malt shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 February 2007.

of 18 December 2006
amending the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of television camera systems originating in Japan
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), (the basic Regulation),
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURES
(1) The Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1015/94 (2), imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of television camera systems (TCS) originating in Japan.
(2) In September 2000, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 (3) confirmed the definitive anti-dumping duties imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1015/94 (as subsequently amended) pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation.
(3) In Article 1(3)(e) of Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000, the Council specifically excluded from the scope of the anti-dumping duty camera systems listed in the Annex to that Regulation (the Annex), representing high-end professional camera systems technically falling within the product definition under Article 1(2) of that Regulation, but which cannot be regarded as television camera systems.
(4) The Commission, by notice of 29 September 2005 (4), initiated a review, pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation, of Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 which imposed the existing anti-dumping measures on imports of TCS originating in Japan.
(5) The Commission, by notice of 18 May 2006, initiated an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain camera systems originating in Japan pursuant to Article 5 of the basic Regulation. Given that the product scope of this proceeding includes the products subject to measures by Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000, the Commission also initiated by the notice of 18 May 2006, a review, under Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation, of the existing measures.
B. INVESTIGATION CONCERNING NEW MODELS OF PROFESSIONAL CAMERA SYSTEMS
1. Procedure
(6) One Japanese exporting producer, Hitachi Denshi (Europa) GmbH (Hitachi) informed the Commission that it intended to introduce a new model of professional camera systems into the Community market and requested the Commission to add this new model of professional camera systems to the Annex of Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 and thus exempt it from the scope of the anti-dumping duties.
(7) The Commission informed the Community industry accordingly and commenced an investigation limited to the determination of whether the product under consideration falls within the scope of the anti-dumping duties and whether the operative part of Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 should be amended accordingly.
2. Model under investigation
(8) The request for exemption was received for the following model of camera systems, supplied with the relevant technical information:
— Camera head V-35W.
3. Findings
(9) Camera head V-35W falls within the product description of Article 1(2)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000. However, as with its predecessor model, it is mainly used for professional applications and it is not sold with the corresponding triax system or adaptor on the EC market.
(10) Therefore, it was found that it qualifies as a professional camera system within the meaning of Article 1(3)(e) of Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000. As a result, it should be excluded from the scope of the existing anti-dumping measures and added to the Annex of Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000.
(11) In accordance with the established Community institutions' practice, the new model should be exempted from the anti-dumping duty from the date of receipt by the Commission services of the relevant request for exemption. Therefore, all imports of the following camera model imported on or after 11 April 2006 should be exempted from the anti-dumping duty from that date:
— Camera head V-35W.
4. Information of the interested parties and conclusions
(12) The Commission informed the Community industry and the exporting producer of TCS concerned of its findings and provided them with an opportunity to present their views. None of the parties objected to the Commission's findings.
(13) In view of the above, it is proposed to amend the Annex of Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 accordingly,
The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 shall be replaced by the Annex hereto.
1. This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
2. This Regulation shall apply to imports of the following model produced and exported to the Community by the following exporting producer:
Hitachi from 11 April 2006
— Camera head V-35W.
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 |
31990R2601 | Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2601/90 of 7 September 1990 suspending Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1735/89 on the recovery on export of aids granted in respect of skimmed-milk powder for use as feed and skimmed milk processed into compound feedingstuffs

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3879/89 (2), and in particular Article 1 (3) thereof,
Whereas in accordance with Council Regulation (EEC) No 986/68 of 15 July 1968 laying down general rules for granting aid for skimmed milk and skimmed milk powder for use as feed (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1115/89 (4), aid is granted for liquid skimmed milk and buttermilk or skimmed-milk powder or buttermilk powder meeting certain requirements and denatured or incorporated into animal feedingstuffs; whereas in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 2 (1) of the said Regulation an amount equal to the aid is collected when the products in question are exported in denatured form or in the form of compound feedingstuffs; whereas the main purpose of this provision is to avoid a double collection of aid, i.e. the granting of an export refund and the granting of aid under the abovementioned Regulation;
Whereas the amounts of aid to be recoverend on export are laid down in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1735/89 (5), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1553/90 (6); whereas the said amounts are currently lower than the refund amounts; whereas the purpose of the said Regulation can therefore be achieved by deducting the amount of aid from the amount of the refund, at the same time avoiding the administrative costs resulting from the application of the abovementioned Regulation; whereas the application of the said Regulation should therefore be suspended;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
1. Regulation (EEC) No 1735/89 is hereby suspended.
2. However:
- in cases where the amount of the refund for one or more products falling within CN code 2309 has been fixed in advance in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2729/81 (1) before the date of entry into force of this Regulation, Regulation (EEC) No 1735/89 shall continue to apply for the quantities of the product stated in the export certificate fixing the refund in advance,
- in this case, where, during the period of validity of the export certificate fixing the refund in advance for these products, the amount of aid for skimmed-milk powder under Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 is fixed at an amount other than ECU 59,9 per 100 kilograms the amount to be recovered is multiplied by a coefficient equal to the result of the division of the new amount of aid by 59,9. However, the amounts to be recovered, applicable before the date of application of the new amount of aid, shall remain applicable for liquid milk or milk powder for which evidence is furnished that it has benefited only from the aid applicable before this date.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 28 September 1990

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/67/EEC of 28 January 1991 concerning the animal health conditions governing the placing on the market of aquaculture animals and products (1), and in particular Article 19(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Part II of Annex I to Commission Decision 2006/656/EC of 20 September 2006 laying down the animal health conditions and certification requirements for imports of fish for ornamental purpose (2) lays down a list of territories from which imports of tropical ornamental fish into the Community are authorised. That list includes all member countries of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE).
(2) Tropical ornamental fish are not susceptible to the diseases listed in Annex A to Directive 91/67/EEC and pose a relatively low risk to the animal health situation in the Community. OIE membership has been deemed as fulfilling the criteria, as referred to in Article 19(2) of Directive 91/67/EEC, that third countries should comply with to be allowed to export tropical ornamental fish to the Community, as it ensures notification of any aquatic animal health event to the other OIE members.
(3) The Maldives was an important exporter of tropical ornamental fish to some Member States but is not yet a member of the OIE. However, by letter dated 9 May 2007, the Maldives committed itself to join the OIE and to fulfil the obligations deriving from such membership in the interim period before it officially becomes a member of the OIE.
(4) The Maldives should be included in Part II of Annex I to Decision 2006/656/EC before it officially joins the OIE. However, if the Maldives has not acceded to the OIE by 31 December 2007 at the latest, imports of tropical ornamental fish from that country to the Community should no longer be authorised after that date.
(5) Decision 2006/656/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Decision 2006/656/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that when refunds on white and raw sugar, undenatured and exported in its unaltered state, are being fixed account must be taken of the situation on the Community and world markets in sugar and in particular of the price and cost factors set out in Article 28 of that Regulation. The same Article provides that the economic aspect of the proposed exports should also be taken into account.
(3) The refund on raw sugar must be fixed in respect of the standard quality. The latter is defined in Annex I, point II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Furthermore, this refund should be fixed in accordance with Article 28(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Candy sugar is defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector(2). The refund thus calculated for sugar containing added flavouring or colouring matter must apply to their sucrose content and, accordingly, be fixed per 1 % of the said content.
(4) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for sugar according to destination.
(5) In special cases, the amount of the refund may be fixed by other legal instruments.
(6) The refund must be fixed every two weeks. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(7) It follows from applying the rules set out above to the present situation on the market in sugar and in particular to quotations or prices for sugar within the Community and on the world market that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(8) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 does not make provision to continue the compensation system for storage costs from 1 July 2001. This should accordingly be taken into account when fixing the refunds granted when the export occurs after 30 September 2001.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, undenatured and exported in the natural state, are hereby fixed to the amounts shown in the Annex hereto.

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 264/86
of 4 February 1986
imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain clogs originating in Sweden and definitively collecting the provisional anti-dumping duty
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 of 23 July 1984 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consultation within the Advisory Committee as provided for under the above Regulation,
Whereas:
A. Provisional action
1. The Commission, by Regulation (EEC) No 2823/85 (2), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3475/85 (3), imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of certain clogs originating in Sweden.
B. Subsequent procedure
2. Following the imposition of the provisional anti-dumping duty, the two Swedish exporters who had cooperated in the investigation and on the import of whose products this duty was imposed, made representations to the Commission making their views known on the duty. They also requested to be informed of the facts and essential considerations on the basis of which the Commission intended to recommend definitive action, and these requests were granted. In addition, certain other exporters who had not previously made themselves known to the Commission made representations to the Commission making their views known on the duty, and representatives of the Swedish authorities acting on behalf of the Swedish clog industry as a whole made written and oral submissions to the Commission on both dumping and injury. The Council examined the provisional findings of the Commission set out in Regulation (EEC) No 2823/85, as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3475/85.
C. Normal value
3. Normal value was determined for three of the exporters concerned on the basis of their domestic prices, sufficient evidence having been provided by those producers that these prices were paid in the ordinary course of trade on the Swedish market during the investigation period.
For the one exporter concerned who did not sell on the domestic market, normal value was determined on the basis of the weighted average selling prices on the domestic market of the other producers investigated.
D. Export price
4. Export prices were determined on the basis of the prices actually paid or payable for the products sold for export to the Community.
E. Comparison
5. In comparing normal value with export prices, the Commission took account, where appropriate, of differences affecting price comparability where claims in these areas could be satisfactorily demonstrated. In particular, differences in size and in quality of boot sole and upper were taken into account as were differences in payment terms.
All comparisons were made at ex-works level.
F. Dumping margins
6. On the basis of certain of the submissions referred to in paragraph 2 above and in particular as a result of new evidence supplied on transport costs between ex-works Sweden and cif Community frontier, the
dumping margin found for Torpatoffeln has been adjusted from 11 % to 5,2 %. The margin for B.J. Traesko was, however, confirmed at 7 %. The Council accordingly confirms these findings on dumping.
7. As regards those exporters who made themselves known to the Commission only following the imposition of the provisional anti-dumping duty and those exporters who have not fully cooperated in the investigation or have not made themselves known to the Commission during the course of the investigation, dumping has been determined on the basis of the facts available. In this connection it was considered that the results of the investigation provided the most appropriate basis for determination of the margin of dumping and that it would create an opportunity for circumvention of the duty and an invitation to non-cooperation in future anti-dumping investigations to hold that the dumping margin for these exporters was any lower than the higher dumping margin of 7 % determined with regard to B.J. Traesko, an exporter who has cooperated in the investigation. For these reasons, the Council considers it appropriate to use this latter dumping margin for this group of exporters.
G. Injury
8. The Commission received submissions on behalf of the Swedish exporters purporting to show that factors other than Swedish imports had caused injury to the Community industry, in particular in relation to levels of intra-Community trade in the products concerned. On investigating these allegations, however, it was established that, although intra-Community trade in products falling under the Nimexe code covering the products in question was substantial, this trade related for the most part to footwear other than the clogs in question. Accordingly, the Council confirms the findings as set out in Regulation (EEC) No 2823/85 to the effect that the volume of dumped Swedish imports during the reference period (1 600 000 pairs) and the price at which these products had been sold in the Community (between 11 % and 49 % below Community producers' prices) taken in isolation from injury caused by other factors have caused material injury to the Community industry.
H. Community interest
9. In view of the serious level of injury sustained by the complainant producers, caused particularly by price undercutting of up to 49 %, and the resulting likelihood that, without protective measures, the continued existence of the industry in the Community would be endangered, the conclusion has been reached that it is in the Community's interest that action be taken. This action should take the form of a definitive anti-dumping duty.
I. Definitive duty
10. In the light of the above determination, and having particular regard to the extent of the price undercutting which varied from 11 % to 49 %, the rate of definitive anti-dumping duty which will apply to Swedish exporters should correspond to 7 %.
The duty should not apply to the exporters Lavi for which no dumping was found, or Ugglebo Toffeln, for which the dumping margin found can be considered as de minimis.
J. Undertakings
11. Following consultations within the Joint Committee as provided for in the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Sweden (1), a number of exporters concerned, having been informed of the results of the procedure subsequent to the imposition of the provisional duty, offered undertakings which the Commission considered would eliminate the dumping found and which were considered acceptable. Accordingly, the duty should not apply to these exporters.
K. Collection of provisional duty
12. The amounts secured by way of provisional anti-dumping duty should be collected in full for imports into the Community of B.J. Traesko products and to the maximum of the duty definitively imposed, i. e. 5,2 % for imports of Torpatoffeln products 7 % for all other imports.
1. A definitive anti-dumping duty is hereby imposed on imports of clogs with outer soles of leather, composition leather, rubber or artificial plastic material and with uppers of leather or leather covered with PVC falling within Common Customs Tariff subheading ex 64.02 A corresponding to Nimexe code ex 64.02-41 and originating in Sweden.
2. The rate of the duty shall be 7 %.
3. The duty shall not apply to products as referred to in paragraph 1 which are produced and exported by:

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 987/68 [3], as amended by the 1972 Act of Accession, is aimed at promoting milk proteins by widening their use; whereas the situation on the market for milk and milk products can be such as to cause casein and caseinates to be used as raw materials in the manufacture of certain products in a way which is inconsistent with the aims of the Regulation; whereas, in that case, the Commission should be authorized to take whatever measures are appropriate;
Whereas account should be taken of the possible effects of these measures on the situation of the market and of enterprises; whereas, moreover, a thorough examination of the consequences of the measures taken should be carried out after a 12-month period in order to decide whether or not they should be extended,
The following paragraph is added to Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 987/68 :
"4. If the market situation so dictates, the granting of aid may be restricted to casein and caseinates for specific uses. Uses may be excluded only where payment of the aid is economically or technologically unnecessary or where it would lead to distortion of competition.
This measure shall apply until 31 December 1989. The Council shall decide before 30 November 1989 on whether or not it should extend the measure on the basis of a report from the Commission on its impact.
The report shall in particular consider whether the measure has led to unfair competition between Community-produced casein and imports from third countries of non-milk proteins."

The value of such products should be fixed at a standard level for each of these modes of disposal, taking into account the average revenues which may be obtained from such disposal in the various Member States.
(3) Under Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2509/2000 of 15 November 2000 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 as regards granting financial compensation for withdrawals of certain fishery products (3), special rules provide that, where a producer organisation or one of its members puts its products up for sale in a Member State other than the country in which it is recognised, that body responsible for granting the financial compensation must be informed. This body is the one in the Member State in which the producer organisation is recognised. The standard value deductible should therefore be the value applied in that Member State.
(4) The same method of calculation should be applied to advances on financial compensation as provided for in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2509/2000.
(5) In order not to hinder the operation of the intervention system in the year 2011, this Regulation should apply retroactively from 1 January 2011.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,
For the 2011 fishing year, the standard values to be used in calculating financial compensation and associated advances for fishery products withdrawn from the market by producer organisations and intended for purposes other than human consumption, as referred to in Article 21(5) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, are set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
The standard value to be deducted from financial compensation and associated advances shall be that applied in the Member State in which the producer organisation is recognised.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2011.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

derogating from Council Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 as regards the minimum distance from the coast and depth for shore seines fishing in certain territorial waters of France (Languedoc-Roussillon and Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 of 21 December 2006 concerning management measures for the sustainable exploitation of fishery resources in the Mediterranean Sea (1), and in particular Article 13(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 prohibits the use of towed gears within 3 nautical miles of the coast or within the 50 m isobath where that depth is reached at a shorter distance from the coast.
(2) At the request of a Member State, the Commission may allow a derogation from Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006, provided that a number of conditions set out in Article 13(5) and (9) are fulfilled.
(3) On 1 October 2013 the Commission received a request from France for a derogation from the first subparagraph of Article 13(1) of that Regulation, for the use of shore seines in certain sea areas situated within the territorial waters of France, irrespective of the depth.
(4) France provided up-to-date scientific and technical justifications for the derogation.
(5) The Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) assessed the derogation requested by France and the related draft management plan at its plenary session held from 4 to 8 November 2013.
(6) The derogation requested by France complies with the conditions laid down in Article 13(5) and (9) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006.
(7) There are specific geographical constraints given the limited size of the continental shelf.
(8) The shore seines fishery has no significant impact on marine environment.
(9) The derogation requested by France affects a limited number of only 23 vessels.
(10) Shore seine fishing is carried out from the shore in shallow depths and targets a variety of species. The nature of this type of fishery is such that it cannot be undertaken with any other gear.
(11) The management plan guarantees no future increase in the fishing effort, as fishing authorisations will be issued to specified 23 vessels involving a total effort of 1 225 Kw that are already authorised to fish by France.
(12) The request covers vessels with a track record in the fishery of more than five years and which operate under a management plan adopted by France on 15 April 2014 (2) in accordance with Article 19(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006.
(13) Those vessels are included on a list communicated to the Commission in line with the requirements of Article 13(9) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006.
(14) The fishing activities concerned fulfil the requirements of Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 since the French management plan explicitly prohibits to fish above protected habitats.
(15) The requirement of Article 8(1)(h) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 are not applicable since they relate to trawlers.
(16) As regards the requirement to comply with Article 9(3) establishing the minimum mesh size, the Commission notes that given the fishing activities concerned are highly selective, have a negligible effect on the marine environment and are not carried out above protected habitats, in line with Article 9(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 France authorised a derogation from these provisions in its management plan.
(17) The fishing activities concerned fulfil the recording requirements set out in Article 14 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 (3).
(18) The fishing activities concerned do not interfere with the activities of vessels using gears other than trawls, seines or similar towed nets.
(19) The activity of shore seines is regulated in the French management plan to ensure that catches of species mentioned in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 are minimal.
(20) Shore seines do not target cephalopods.
(21) The French management plan includes measures for the monitoring of fishing activities, as provided for in the third subparagraph of Article 13(9) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006.
(22) The requested derogation should therefore be granted.
(23) France should report to the Commission in due time and in accordance with the monitoring plan provided for in the French management plan.
(24) Article 15(11) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) requires that for the species subject to the landing obligation as specified in Article 15(1) of the same Regulation, the use of catches of species below the minimum conservation reference size shall be restricted to purposes other than direct human consumption.
(25) The French management plan includes a derogation to the minimum size of marine organisms for fries of sardine landed for human consumption and targeted by the fishing activities regulated therein, in accordance with Article 15(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006.
(26) A limitation in duration of the derogation should be introduced, to reflect the calendar of the entry into force of the landing obligation as defined in Article 15(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013.
(27) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,
3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 shall not apply in territorial waters of France adjacent to the coast of Languedoc-Roussillon and Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur to shore seines used by vessels:
(a) bearing the registration number mentioned in the French management plan;
(b) having a track record in the fishery of more than five years and not involving any future increase in the fishing effort deployed; and
(c) holding a fishing authorisation and operating under the management plan adopted by France in accordance with Article 19(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006.
Monitoring plan and reporting
France shall communicate to the Commission, within one year following the entry into force of this Regulation, a report drawn up in accordance with the monitoring plan established in the management plan referred to in Article 1(c).
Entry into force and period of application
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply until 31 December 2014.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 608/82 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 30 May 1983, the Federal Republic of Germany has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'Perkin Elmer - Infrared Spectrophotometer, model 283', ordered on 5 December 1978 and intended to be used for basic research in the field of solid-state physics and in particular for the registration of absorption and reflection in the spectral region 2,5 and 50 m, should be considered to be a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community,
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 15 November 1983 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a spectrophotometer;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the precision of the analysis in the infrared range, and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, however, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of scientific value equivalent to the said apparatus, capable of being used for the same purposes, are currently being manufactured in the Community; whereas this applies, in particular, to the apparatus 'SP 2000', manufactured by Pye Unicam Ltd, Oxford Street, UK-Cambridge CB1 2PX,
The apparatus described as 'Perkin Elmer - Infrared Spectrophotometer, model 283' which is subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 30 May 1983 may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

DIRECTIVE 2009/22/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 23 April 2009
on injunctions for the protection of consumers' interests
(Codified version)
(Text with EEA relevance)
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,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),
Whereas:
(1) Directive 98/27/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 May 1998 on injunctions for the protection of consumers' interests (3) has been substantially amended several times (4). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Directive should be codified.
(2) Certain Directives, listed in Annex I to this Directive, lay down rules with regard to the protection of consumers' interests.
(3) Current mechanisms available for ensuring compliance with those Directives, both at national and at Community level, do not always allow infringements harmful to the collective interests of consumers to be terminated in good time. Collective interests means interests which do not include the cumulation of interests of individuals who have been harmed by an infringement. This is without prejudice to individual actions brought by individuals who have been harmed by an infringement.
(4) As far as the purpose of bringing about the cessation of practices that are unlawful under the national provisions applicable is concerned, the effectiveness of national measures transposing the Directives in question, including protective measures that go beyond the level required by those Directives, provided they are compatible with the Treaty and allowed by those Directives, may be thwarted where those practices produce effects in a Member State other than that in which they originate.
(5) Those difficulties can disrupt the smooth functioning of the internal market, their consequence being that it is sufficient to move the source of an unlawful practice to another country in order to place it out of reach of all forms of enforcement. This constitutes a distortion of competition.
(6) Those difficulties are likely to diminish consumer confidence in the internal market and may limit the scope for action by organisations representing the collective interests of consumers or independent public bodies responsible for protecting the collective interests of consumers, adversely affected by practices that infringe Community law.
(7) Those practices often extend beyond the frontiers between the Member States. There is an urgent need for some degree of approximation of national provisions designed to enjoin the cessation of the unlawful practices irrespective of the Member State in which the unlawful practice has produced its effects. With regard to jurisdiction, this is without prejudice to the rules of private international law and the Conventions in force between Member States, while respecting the general obligations of the Member States deriving from the Treaty, in particular those related to the smooth functioning of the internal market.
(8) The objective of the action envisaged can only be attained by the Community. It is therefore incumbent on the Community to act.
(9) The third paragraph of Article 5 of the Treaty makes it incumbent on the Community not to go beyond what is necessary to achieve the objectives of the Treaty. In accordance with that Article, the specific features of national legal systems must be taken into account to every extent possible by leaving Member States free to choose between different options having equivalent effect. The courts or administrative authorities competent to rule on the proceedings referred to in this Directive should have the right to examine the effects of previous decisions.
(10) One option should consist in requiring one or more independent public bodies, specifically responsible for the protection of the collective interests of consumers, to exercise the rights of action set out in this Directive. Another option should provide for the exercise of those rights by organisations whose purpose is to protect the collective interests of consumers, in accordance with criteria laid down by national law.
(11) Member States should be able to choose between or combine these two options in designating at national level the bodies and/or organisations qualified for the purposes of this Directive.
(12) For the purposes of intra-Community infringements the principle of mutual recognition should apply to these bodies and/or organisations. The Member States should, at the request of their national entities, communicate to the Commission the name and purpose of their national entities which are qualified to bring an action in their own country according to the provisions of this Directive.
(13) It is the business of the Commission to ensure the publication of a list of these qualified entities in the Official Journal of the European Union. Until a statement to the contrary is published, a qualified entity is assumed to have legal capacity if its name is included in that list.
(14) Member States should be able to require that a prior consultation be undertaken by the party that intends to bring an action for an injunction, in order to give the defendant an opportunity to bring the contested infringement to an end. Member States should be able to require that this prior consultation take place jointly with an independent public body designated by those Member States.
(15) Where the Member States have established that there should be prior consultation, a deadline of two weeks after the request for consultation is received should be set after which, should the cessation of the infringement not be achieved, the applicant shall be entitled to bring an action, without any further delay, before the competent court or administrative authority.
(16) It is appropriate that the Commission report on the functioning of this Directive and in particular on its scope and on the operation of prior consultation.
(17) The application of this Directive should not prejudice the application of Community competition rules.
(18) This Directive should be without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States concerning the time limits for transposition and application in national law of the Directives set out in Annex II, Part B,
Scope
1. The purpose of this Directive is to approximate the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to actions for an injunction referred to in Article 2 aimed at the protection of the collective interests of consumers included in the Directives listed in Annex I, with a view to ensuring the smooth functioning of the internal market.
2. For the purposes of this Directive, an infringement means any act contrary to the Directives listed in Annex I as transposed into the internal legal order of the Member States which harms the collective interests referred to in paragraph 1.
Actions for an injunction
1. Member States shall designate the courts or administrative authorities competent to rule on proceedings commenced by qualified entities within the meaning of Article 3 seeking:
(a) an order with all due expediency, where appropriate by way of summary procedure, requiring the cessation or prohibition of any infringement;
(b) where appropriate, measures such as the publication of the decision, in full or in part, in such form as deemed adequate and/or the publication of a corrective statement with a view to eliminating the continuing effects of the infringement;
(c) in so far as the legal system of the Member State concerned so permits, an order against the losing defendant for payments into the public purse or to any beneficiary designated in or under national legislation, in the event of failure to comply with the decision within a time limit specified by the courts or administrative authorities, of a fixed amount for each day’s delay or any other amount provided for in national legislation, with a view to ensuring compliance with the decisions.
2. This Directive shall be without prejudice to the rules of private international law with respect to the applicable law, that is, normally, either the law of the Member State where the infringement originated or the law of the Member State where the infringement has its effects.
Entities qualified to bring an action
For the purposes of this Directive, a ‘qualified entity’ means any body or organisation which, being properly constituted according to the law of a Member State, has a legitimate interest in ensuring that the provisions referred to in Article 1 are complied with, in particular:
(a) one or more independent public bodies, specifically responsible for protecting the interests referred to in Article 1, in Member States in which such bodies exist; and/or
(b) organisations whose purpose is to protect the interests referred to in Article 1, in accordance with the criteria laid down by the national law.
Intra-Community infringements
1. Each Member State shall take the measures necessary to ensure that, in the event of an infringement originating in that Member State, any qualified entity from another Member State where the interests protected by that qualified entity are affected by the infringement, may apply to the court or administrative authority referred to in Article 2, on presentation of the list provided for in paragraph 3 of this Article. The courts or administrative authorities shall accept this list as proof of the legal capacity of the qualified entity without prejudice to their right to examine whether the purpose of the qualified entity justifies its taking action in a specific case.
2. For the purposes of intra-Community infringements, and without prejudice to the rights granted to other entities under national legislation, the Member States shall, at the request of their qualified entities, communicate to the Commission that these entities are qualified to bring an action under Article 2.

It shall be for the Member State to decide whether the party seeking the injunction must consult the qualified entity. If the cessation of the infringement is not achieved within two weeks after the request for consultation is received, the party concerned may bring an action for an injunction without any further delay.
2. The rules governing prior consultation adopted by Member States shall be notified to the Commission and shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Reports
1. Every three years and for the first time no later than 2 July 2003 the Commission shall submit to the European Parliament and to the Council a report on the application of this Directive.

(c) whether the prior consultation provided for in Article 5 has contributed to the effective protection of consumers.
Where appropriate, this report shall be accompanied by proposals with a view to amending this Directive.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1274/2009
of 18 December 2009
opening and providing for the administration of import quotas for rice originating in the overseas countries and territories (OCTs)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Decision 2001/822/EC of 27 November 2001 on the association of the overseas countries and territories with the European Community (1), and in particular the seventh subparagraph of Article 6(5) of Annex III thereto,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (2), and in particular Article 148, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under Article 6 of Annex III to Decision 2001/822/EC, ACP/OCTs cumulation of origin for products falling within tariff heading 1006 is allowed for a total annual quantity of 160 000 tonnes, which include the 125 000 tonnes tariff quota for rice originating in African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) States provided for in the ACP – EC Partnership Agreement, expressed in husked-rice equivalent. An initial issue of import licences for 35 000 tonnes of rice originating in the overseas countries and territories (hereinafter: OCTs) is made each year and, within this quantity, import licences for 10 000 tonnes are issued for imports originating in the least-developed OCTs listed in Annex IB to that Decision. All other import licences are issued for imports originating in the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba. These 35 000 tonnes of rice reserved for the OCTs may be increased if the ACP States do not actually use their direct export options under the tariff quota provided for in the Cotonou agreement.
(2) From 1 January 2008, the trading arrangements of the ACP – EC Partnership Agreement no longer apply and the tariff quota for rice provided for therein is replaced by the preferential arrangements provided for in Article 6 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 of 20 December 2007 applying the arrangements for goods originating in certain states which are part of the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Group of States provided for in agreements establishing, or leading to the establishment of, Economic Partnership Agreements (3). Under Article 3(3)(a) of that Regulation preferential arrangements for the products of tariff heading 1006 originating in certain states which are part of the ACP Group of States provided for in agreements establishing, or leading to the establishment of, Economic Partnership Agreements, shall continue only until 31 December 2009. As a result, as from 1 January 2010 it is no longer possible to provide for a possible increase of the OCTs quota linked to the use of an ACP quota and consequently the OCTs quotas must be opened on a yearly basis for a quantity limited to 35 000 tonnes.
(3) Without prejudice to the additional conditions or relevant derogations laid down for the management of those import arrangements, account should be taken of the provisions of the horizontal or sectoral implementing regulations, that is, Commission Regulations (EC) No 1342/2003 of 28 July 2003 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice (4), (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 (5) and (EC) No 376/2008 of 23 April 2008 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (6).
(4) To ensure balanced market management, the issue of import licences relating to the above import quotas is to be staggered over the year in several specific subperiods, the period of validity of the licences should be laid down and a maximum quantity per application should be fixed.
(5) Quantities of rice at stages of processing other than husked rice shall be converted at the rates laid down in Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1312/2008 of 19 December 2008 fixing the conversion rates, the processing costs and the value of the by-products for the various stages of rice processing (7). Provision should also be made for the conversion of quantities of broken rice.
(6) In order to ensure proper administration of the import quotas, a security should be lodged in conjunction with an import licence application at a level commensurate with the risks involved.
(7) With a view to optimise the use of the quotas in case of application of an allocation coefficient, it is appropriate to establish that the rights deriving from the licences may be transferred to transferees satisfying the eligibility conditions set out in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006.
(8) According to Article 6 of Annex III to Decision 2001/822/EC, licences not used to import rice originating in the least-developed OCTs listed in Annex IB thereto should be made available for the import of rice originating in the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba. To this end, it is appropriate to establish that in the September subperiod the quantities not used for the least-developed OCTs can be allocated for the import of rice originating in the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba.
(9) In order to ensure proper management of the quotas, it is appropriate to derogate from Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 and adapt the notification obligations provided for in that Article.
(10) As the import duties on the products of tariff heading 1006 originating in certain states which are part of the ACP Group of States provided for in agreements establishing, or leading to the establishment of, Economic Partnership Agreements, shall be eliminated as from 1 January 2010, the measures provided for in this Regulation should apply from the same date.
(11) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1529/2007 of 21 December 2007 opening and providing for the administration in 2008 and 2009 of import quotas for rice originating in the ACP States which are part of the Cariforum region and the overseas countries and territories (OCTs) (8) will become obsolete at the end of 2009 quota period. For this reason, it should be repealed.
(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
1. This Regulation opens and provides for the administration of tariff rate quotas for the import of the following quantities of rice falling within CN code 1006, hereinafter called ‘tariff quotas’:
(a) 25 000 tonnes originating in the Netherlands Antilles or Aruba;
(b) 10 000 tonnes originating in the least-developed overseas countries and territories (OCTs) listed in Annex IB to Decision 2001/822/EC.
The tariff quotas are opened on an annual basis for the period from 1st January to 31st December.
2. The provisions of Regulations (EC) No 1342/2003, (EC) No 1301/2006 and (EC) No 376/2008 shall apply, except as otherwise provided for in this Regulation.
3. The tariff quotas are administered according to the simultaneous examination method referred to in Chapter II of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006.
4. The customs duty for imports under the tariff quotas shall be nil. This rate shall be shown in Section 24 of the import license application and the import license in accordance with Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006.
5. The import tariff quota periods shall be divided in 3 subperiods as set out in Annex I.
The quantities referred to in Article 7(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 and available for the following subperiod shall be communicated by the Commission before the 25th day of the last month of a given subperiod.
Where, for the September subperiod, the quantities covered by applications for the tariff quota referred to in paragraph 1(b) of this Article do not reach the total quantity available, the remaining quantity may be used to import products originating in the Netherlands Antilles or Aruba.
6. Unless otherwise specified, the quantities indicated in this Regulation shall be expressed in husked-rice equivalent.
Quantities of rice at stages of processing other than husked rice shall be converted at the rates laid down in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1312/2008.
For the purposes of this Regulation, quantities of broken rice shall be converted into quantities of husked rice on the basis of product weight.
1. Licence applications shall be submitted the first seven days of each subperiod set out in Annex I.
2. Without prejudice to Article 6(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006, the quantity applied for in respect of each subperiod and quota order number concerned shall not exceed 5 000 tonnes.

1. Sections 7 and 8 of licence applications and licences shall show the country of origin and the mention ‘yes’ shall be marked by a cross. Licences shall give rise to an obligation to import from the specified country.
2. Section 20 of licence applications and licences shall show one of the entries listed in Annex II.
The amount of the security as referred to in Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 shall be of EUR 46 per tonne.
1. Import licences shall be issued between the 25th and the last day of the month in which applications are submitted.
2. By way of derogation from Article 6(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1342/2003 and without prejudice to Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 376/2008, the rights deriving from the licences may be transferred to transferees satisfying the eligibility conditions set out in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006
1. By way of derogation from Article 11(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006, Member States shall notify the Commission at the latest:

of 18 December 2006
concerning a request from the Republic of Latvia to apply a reduced rate of VAT to the supply of district heating, natural gas and electricity to households
(notified under document number C(2006) 6592)
(Only the Latvian text is authentic)
(2007/68/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes — Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment (1), and in particular Article 12(3)(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By initial request of 19 April 2006 sent to the Commission, followed by a formal letter registered on 10 July 2006, the Republic of Latvia informed the Commission of its intention of applying a reduced rate of VAT to the supply of district heating, natural gas and electricity to households. Latvia defined households as all final consumers with whom contracts about the supplies concerned are concluded as with natural persons.
(2) According to annex VIII of the Accession Treaty, by way of derogation from Article 12(3)(a) of Directive 77/388/EEC (hereinafter the Sixth VAT Directive), Latvia was allowed to maintain an exemption from value added tax on the supply of heating sold to households until 31 December 2004. In fact, Latvia applied an exemption from value added tax on the supply of district heating to households also after this date.
(3) Latvia wishes to apply a reduced rate (5 %) to supplies of district heating, natural gas and electricity to households, excluding supplies for commercial activities or for other professional activities. This rate neither causes distortion of competition, nor tax-induced changes in the consumption of electricity, gas or heating sold to households. This is mainly because from a technical-technological point of view, those three products act as substitute goods only for heating purposes. Moreover, since the application of this reduced VAT rate is restricted to households, such application is not likely to cause distortion of competition vis-à-vis legal persons who exercise the right to deduct VAT and thus do not bear the final cost of VAT.
(4) Moreover, the VAT rules regarding the place of supply of natural gas and electricity, as laid down in the Sixth VAT Directive, were amended by Council Directive 2003/92/EC (2). The supply of natural gas through the distribution networks and electricity in the final stage, from traders and distributors to final consumers, is taxed at the place where the customer has effective use and consumption of the goods, in order to ensure that taxation takes place in the country where actual consumption takes place. As regards the supply of district heating, as there are no cross-border transactions, the supply is thus local and there is no risk of distortion of competition within the meaning of Article 12(3)(b) of the Sixth VAT Directive.
(5) The planned measure applying a reduced rate of VAT to the supply of district heating, natural gas and electricity to households pursuant to Article 12(3)(b) of the Sixth VAT Directive is limited to the supplies made to final consumers and does not apply to the supplies made to taxable persons for the needs of their commercial, professional and other economic activities.
(6) Since the measure is limited to the supplies made to final consumers and does not apply to the supplies made to taxable persons for the needs of their commercial, professional and other economic activities, the risk of distortion of competition must be thus deemed non-existent. Since the condition laid down by Article 12(3)(b) of the Sixth Directive is thus fulfilled, Latvia should be authorised to apply the measure concerned as soon as this Decision is notified,
Latvia may apply the measure notified in its letter registered by the Commission on 10 July 2006, applying a reduced rate of VAT to the supply of district heating, natural gas and electricity to households, irrespective of the conditions of production and supply.
For the purposes of this Decision, households shall be defined as natural persons who are the recipients of the supplies referred to in Article 1 for the purposes of their final consumption, excluding therefore any supplies made for the needs of their commercial, professional and other economic activities.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Latvia. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas:
(1) The application of intervention measures in respect of beef has created stocks in several Member States. In order to prevent an excessive prolongation of storage, part of these stocks should be sold by tender for processing in the Community.
(2) The sale should be made subject to the rules laid down by Commission Regulations (EEC) No 2173/79(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2417/95(4), (EEC) No 3002/92(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 770/96(6), and (EEC) No 2182/77(7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2417/95, subject to certain special exceptions on account of the particular use to which the products in question are to be put.

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,
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 Italian Government submitted to the Commission on 27 November 2000 an acceptable draft Single Programming Document for the region of Piedmont fulfilling the conditions for Objective 2 pursuant to Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. The plan includes the information listed in Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, in particular a description of the priorities selected and an indication of the financial contribution from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the other financial instruments proposed for implementing the plan.
(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 Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, it is necessary to lay down the final date for the eligibility of expenditure.
(6) The Single Programming Document has been drawn up in agreement with the Member State concerned and within the partnership.
(7) The Commission has satisfied itself that the Single Programming Document is in accordance with the principle of additionality.
(8) Under Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Commission and the Member State are required to ensure, in a manner consistent with the principle of partnership, coordination between assistance from the Funds and from the EIB and other existing financial instruments.
(9) The financial contribution from the Community available over the entire period and its year-by-year breakdown are expressed in euro. The annual breakdown 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.
(10) 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 in the region of Piedmont in Italy eligible under Objective 2 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 Italy. The priorities are as follows:
- internationalisation;
- improvements to and support for the system;
- local development and improved use of the area;
- social cohesion;
- 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, where relevant from the EIB, and from the other financial instruments, including, for information, the total amount from the EAGGF Guarantee Section 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, 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.
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 1241933231 for the whole period and the financial contribution from the Structural Funds at EUR 488599651.
The resulting requirement for national resources of EUR 607083580 from the public sector and EUR 146250000 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 488599651. 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. The total Community assistance available is as follows:
- ERDF: EUR 488599651.
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, or by up to a maximum of EUR 30 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 on the application of Articles 87 and 88 to certain categories of horizontal State aid(2). In the absence of such exemption or approval, aid is illegal and subject to the consequences set out in the procedural regulation for State aid, and its part-financing would be treated as an irregularity within the meaning of 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.
The date from which expenditure shall be eligible is 27 November 2000. The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure shall be 31 December 2008. This date is extended to 30 April 2009 for expenditure incurred by bodies granting assistance under Article 9(l) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.
This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0.333333 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/401/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of fodder plant seed (1), as last amended by Directive 85/38/EEC (2), and in particular Annex I, paragraph 4 thereof,
Having regard to the request submitted by the Netherlands,
Whereas Directive 66/401/EEC provides that for the production of fodder plant seed, the satisfaction of the varietal purity standards is mainly assessed on the basis of the results of the prescribed field inspections; whereas in the case of crops of Poa pratensis belonging to varieties which are officially classified as apomictic uniclonal varieties' under agreed procedures, a Member State may be authorized, upon application, to assess the satisfaction of these standards not only on that basis, where there is evidence that compliance with the varietal purity standards laid down in Annex II is ensured by appropriate seed testing or other appropriate means;
Whereas certain varieties of Poa pratensis have been officially classified in Member States as 'apomictic uniclonal varieties' under agreed procedures and are therefore eligible to be listed in the Common Catalogue of Varieties of Agricultural Plant Species so classified;
Whereas it has been established that there is evidence that compliance with the varietal purity standards laid down in Annex II is ensured in the Netherlands for the abovementioned kind of varieties of Poa pratensis, by appropriate seed and seedling testing;
Whereas the use of such seed and seedling testing is justified only when the results of field inspections carried out in accordance with paragraph 6 of Annex I prove to be inconclusive; whereas that testing can be considered to be appropriate only where certain minimum conditions are met;
Whereas, therefore, the Netherlands should be authorized to assess the satisfaction of the varietal purity standards in the case of crops of Poa pratensis belonging to the abovementioned kind of varieties also by such seed and seedling testing, in addition to the prescribed field inspections; whereas this authorization should at present not apply to the production of basic seed, where the number of cases of inconclusive field inspections has remained negligible in practice hitherto;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
1. The Netherlands is hereby authorized, under the conditions laid down in paragraph 2 and in respect of varieties of Poa pratensis which are listed as 'apomictic uniclonal varieties' in the Common Catalogue of Varieties of Agricultural Plant Species, to assess the satisfaction of the varietal purity standards laid down for the production of certified seed not solely on the basis of the results of the field inspection carried out in accordance with paragraph 6 of Annex I to Council Directive 66/401/EEC.
2. For the purposes of paragraph 1, the following conditions shall apply:
(a) the results of the field inspection carried out in accordance with paragraph 6 of Annex I to Council Directive 66/401/EEC shall prove inconclusive; the limits of inconclusivity shall be determined in accordance with the reject number table shown in Annex I to this Decision;
(b) compliance with the varietal purity standards laid down in Annex II to Council Directive 66/401/EEC shall be ensured by the following seed and seedling tests:
(aa) Laboratory examinations: phenol or catechol reaction on samples of at least 400 seeds, and
(bb) Examination in greenhouse or growth chamber of samples of at least 60 seedlings, in respect of the characteristics listed in Annex II to this Decision.
1. The Netherlands shall notify the Commission
(a) of the methodologies under which it makes use of the authorization granted in Article 1;
(b) before 31 December of each year, of the quantities of seed yearly certified in its own territory pursuant to this Decision.
The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.
2. In the light of experience gained, an examination shall be carried out every five years of where this Decision needs to be revised.
3. The authorization granted in Article 1 shall be revoked in so far as it is estabished that the conditions laid down in Article 1 (2) are not sufficient to ensure the required seed quality or have not been complied with.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of the Netherlands. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 |

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 239/93 of 1 February 1993 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products originating in Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia or Egypt (1993)
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 the Cooperation Agreements between the European Economic Community of the one part and the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria (1), the Kingdom of Morocco (2), the Republic of Tunisia (3) and the Arab Republic of Egypt (4) of the other part, as supplemented by the additional Protocols thereto (5) (6) (7) (8), provide for the opening by the Community of Community tariff quotas for:
- 39 000 tonnes and 98 000 tonnes of new potatoes falling within CN code ex 0701 90 51 originating in Morrocco and Egypt respectively (1 January to 31 March),
- 10 100 tonnes and 4 200 tonnes of onions, fresh or chilled, falling within CN codes ex 0703 10 11, ex 0703 10 19 and ex 0709 90 90 originating in Egypt (1 February to 15 May), and Morocco (15 February to 15 May),
- 6 400 tonnes of beans, fresh or chilled falling within CN code ex 0708 20 10 originating in Egypt (1 November to 30 April),
- 4 900 tonnes of onions falling within CN code 0712 20 00, originating in Egypt,
- 8 700 tonnes of peas and immature beans of species Phaseolus spp. in pod, prepared or preserved, falling within CN codes 2004 90 50, 2005 40 00 and 2005 59 00, originating in Morocco,
- 8 250 tonnes and 4 300 tonnes of apricot pulp falling within CN code ex 2008 50 91, originating in Morocco and Tunisia respectively,
- 15 000 tonnes of orange juice, falling within CN codes 2009 11 11, 2009 11 19, 2009 11 91, 2009 11 99, 2009 19 11, 2009 19 19, 2009 19 91 and 2009 19 99, originating in Morocco, of which not more than 4 500 tonnes may be imported in packings of a capacity of two litres or less, and,
- 200 000 hectolitres, 50 000 hectolitres and 50 000 hectolitres of certain wines of designated origin, in containers holding two litres or less, falling within CN codes ex 2204 21 25, ex 2204 21 29, ex 2204 21 35 and ex 2204 21 39, originating respectively in Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia,
- 200 000 hectolitres, 85 000 hectolitres and 160 000 hectolitres of wine or fresh grapes falling within CN codes ex 2204 21 and ex 2204 29 originating in Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia respectively;
Whereas, however, the Cooperation Agreement with the Republic of Tunisia provides that certain prepared and preserved sardines falling within CN codes ex 1604 13 11, ex 1604 13 19 and ex 1604 20 50 originating in Tunisia may be imported into the Community free of duty; whereas the detailed arrangements must be fixed by an exchange of letters between the Community and Tunisia; whereas, since that exchange of letters has not yet taken place, the Community arrangements which applied in 1992 should be renewed until 31 December 1993; whereas as duty-free Community tariff quota of 100 tonnes should therefore be opened;
Whereas, however, the volumes of the tariff quotas must be increased by 3 or 5 % each year, as from 1 January 1992 and whereas the customs duties applicable in the Community, as constituted on 31 December 1985, are being eliminated in two equal steps on 1 January 1992 and 1 January 1993, by application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1764/92 of 29 June 1992 amending the arrangements for the import into the Community of certain agricultural products originating in Algeria, Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Malta, Morocco, Syria and Tunisia (9);
Whereas it is necessary, in particular, to ensure for all Community importers equal and uninterrupted access to the said quotas and to ensure the uninterrupted application of the rates laid down for the quotas to all imports of the products concerned into all Member States until the quotas have been used up;
Whereas, the decision for the opening of tariff quotas should be taken by the Community in the execution of its international obligations; whereas, to ensure the efficiency of a common administration of these quotas, there is no reasonable obstacle to authorizing the Member States to draw from the quota-volumes the necessary quantities corresponding to actual imports; whereas this method of administration requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must in particular be able to monitor the rate at which the quotas are used up and inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas within the limit of these tariff quotas, the Portuguese Republic is to apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3189/88 of 14 October 1988 laying down the arrangements to be applied by Spain and Portugal to trade with Morocco (1) and Council Regulation (EEC) No 2573/87 of 11 August 1987 laying down the arrangements for trade between Spain and Portugal on the one hand and Algeria, Egypt and Tunisia on the other (2); whereas the Community tariff quotas in question should therefore be opened for 1993;
Whereas the wines of designated origin in question are subject to compliance with the free-at-frontier reference price; whereas, in order that such wine may benefit from this tariff quota, Article 54 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1756/92 (4), must be complied with; whereas the wine must be put in containers holding two litres or less; whereas the wine must be accompanied either by a certificate of designation of origin in accordance with the model given in Annex D to the Agreement or, by way of derogation, by a document VI 1 or a VI 2 extract annotated in compliance with Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 3590/85 (5);
Whereas since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any operation concerning the administration of these quotas may be carried out by any of its members,
1. The customs duties applicable to imports into the Community of the products listed below originating in Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia or Egypts shall be suspended at the levels, during the periods and within the limits of the Community tariff quotas shown below:
>TABLE>
Within the limits of this tariff quota, the Portuguese Republic shall apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions of Regulations (EEC) No 2573/87 and (EEC) No 3189/88.
2. Importations of the wine in question shall be subject to the free-at-frontier price.
It shall qualify for the tariff quotas only if Article 54 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 is adhered to.
3. Each wine, of designated origin in question when imported, shall be accompanied either by a certificate of designation of origin, issued by the relevant Algerian/Moroccan/Tunisian authority or, by way of derogation, by a document VII or a VI 2 extract annotated in compliance with Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 3590/85, in accordance with the model annexed to this Regulation.
The tariff quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be administered by the Commission, which may take any appropriate measure with a view to ensuring the efficient administration thereof.
If an importer presents in a Member State a declaration of entry into free circulation including a request for preferential benefit for a product covered by this Regulation, and if this declaration is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall draw, from the tariff quota, by means of notification to the Commission, a quantity corresponding to these needs.
The requests for drawing, with the indication of the date of acceptance of the said declaration, must be communicated to the Commission without delay.
The drawings are granted by the Commission on the basis of the date of acceptance of the declaration of entry into free circulation by the customs authorities of the Member State concerned, to the extent that the available balance so permits.
If a Member State does not use the quantities drawn, it shall return them as soon as possible to the tariff quota.
If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the quota, allocation shall be made on a pro rata basis with respect to the requests. Member States, shall be informed by the Commission of the drawings made.
Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the products concerned have equal and continuous access to the quotas for such time as the residual balance of the quota volumes so permits.
The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely in order to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 January 1993.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

relating to a proceeding under Article 85 of the EEC Treaty
(IV/31.614 - The London Meat Futures Exchange Limited)
(Only the English text is authentic)
(87/47/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 17 of 6 February 1962, First Regulation implementing Articles 85 and 86 of the Treaty (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Having regard to the notification and application for negative clearance submitted on 24 July 1985 relating to the articles of association and the rules and regulations of the London Meat Futures Exchange Limited,
Having regard to the summary of the notification published (2) pursuant to Article 19 (3) of Regulation No 17,
After consulting the Advisory Committee on Restrictive Practices and Dominant Positions,
Whereas:
I. FACTS
(1) The London Meat Futures Exchange Limited (LMFEL) is one of many commodity markets established in London. The commodity markets are self-regulatory organizations run by committees of management selected by members from amongst themselves, aided by secretariats and using powers given to them by their members in market rule books. Although the markets are self-regulating, there is an element of supervision by the Bank of England and, increasingly, supervision of the members by the Assoiation of Futures Brokers and Dealers Limited (AFBD).
(2) The object of the LMFEL is to set up and to administer a terminal market in London for various meat products. A terminal market, or a futures market, provides organized facilities for concluding contracts for the purchase and sale of a commodity to be delivered at named future dates. Futures markets have been developed primarily to enable persons involved in commodity trading to protect themselves from the risks of adverse price movements.
(3) The LMFEL provides a market floor for trading and price-making, determines various technical questions such as allowable delivery months and standard contract terms, and procures the provision of clearing and settlement facilities. Trading is done on the floor of the market where dealers face each other in a ring, making bids and offers through the system known as 'open outcry'.
(4) The International Futures Markets in London are among the principal markets used in international commodity merchandising and they contribute to the stability and smooth operation of world trade and to world pricing mechanisms. The relative size of the LMFEL compared with its most important competitors is shown below:
Annual volumes of trade (lots traded) in pig meat
1.2.3.4 // // // // // Year // London (1) // Chicago (2) // Mid-America (3) // // // // // 1984 // 24 263 // 2 169 030 // 112 877 // 1985 // 15 479 // 1 719 861 // 74 338 // // // //
(1) One lot is currently 50 pig carcases.
This LMFEL contract commenced trading on 16. 3. 1984.
(2) One lot is currently 30 000 lbs.
(3) One lot is currently 15 000 lbs.
(5) Two new contracts commenced trading on 2 June 1986:
(a) A live cattle cash settlement contract for lots of 5 000 kilograms. This contract is for settlement against the meat and livestock commission certified medium steer price.
(b) A pig contract for cash settlement of lots of 3 250 kilograms. This is for settlement against the meat and livestock commission average for all pigs price.
In respect of each contract dealing is generally up to 13 months forward with all months other than December being delivery months.
(6) All contracts traded on the LMFEL must be registered with the International Commodities Clearing House Limited (ICCH), an independent service company, which provides clearing and settlement facilities for the LMFEL. ICCH has substantial capital and reserves and is wholly owned by six clearing banks. The principal functions of ICCH are to maintain and organize a 'daily clearing' of all trades and provide a guarantee for due fulfilment of contracts, in accordance with the rules of the LMFEL, to clearing members in whose names such contracts are registered.
(7) There are two classes of membership of the LMFEL. The first class consists of voting members known as floor members who are allowed to trade on the floor of the market. The rules set no limit to the number of floor members and there are at present 20 floor members. The second class of member coinsists of non-voting members known as associate members. Their number is similarly not limited.
(8) The criteria specified in the articles for floor members require an applicant for membership to meet certain financial requirements. A detailed statement of the criteria in force at the time of application may be obtained from the Secretary. To become a floor member the applicant must satisfy the Committee that it is actively interested in the trading of meat and carries on business from a properly established office in the United Kingdom.
(9) All floor members must be members of the ICCH and must register their contracts with the ICCH which, in return for its fee, guarantees the performance of the contracts.
(10) Associate members are companies or firms which have a continuing interest in the production, processing, trading or consumption of meat, or will have a continuing trading interest in the market.
(11) Floor membership may be transferred provided that the transferee is elected in accordance with the articles. Associate membership is not transferable.
(12) The Committee is now required to give reasons when it takes decisions affecting the members' rights of membership. An appeal procedure applies if the Committee refuses an application for membership, refuses to grant permission for a transfer of membership (or determines that a floor member shall transfer its floor membership), or refuses to approve a change in the directorship, partnership, nature of business, legal status or beneficial ownership of a member. The procedure also applies if the Committee suspends a member for more than seven days, or refuses to reinstate a member, or expels a member, or otherwise determines that a membership shall cease. In these cases, if the candidate or member is dissatisfied with the Committee's decision that candidate or member may ask the Committee to reconsider its decision, making such representations and supplying such information as it considers relevant.
(13) The Rules require that a member must generally by a member of the Association of Futures Brokers and Dealers Limited (AFBD). However, this requirement is not mandatory for all members. A member is excused from this obligaiton if he is (a) not a floor member and has no place of business in the United Kingdom, or (b) engages in business exclusively on his own account or on behalf of a related company, or (c) falls within a category of member which is excused membership of the AFBD by the AFBD itself. The AFBD is one of seven self-regulatory organisations (SROs) which it is expected will be recognized by the Securities and Investments Board (SIB) which was set up in anticipation of the Financial Services Act, which stipulates that the only persons allowed to carry on investment business in the United Kingdom are 'authorized persons' or certain 'exempted persons'. Members of the LMFEL will be so authorized by virtue of being members of the AFBD. In order to become a member of the AFBD applicants have to fulfil certain qualitative criteria which reflect the AFBD's primary object, i.e. to promote and maintain a system of supervision of the conduct of business by commodity, financial and other futures brokers and dealers, particularly with a view to the protection of the interests of their clients. These criteria relate to the suitability of members' financial and business standing, and eligibility in other respects such as reliability, training, experience and financial resources.
(14) Contracts traded on the floor of the market between floor members may be made free of commission. Commission must be charged on all other contracts between members or between members and non-members, but rates of commission are freely negotiable. Provision is made for an additional commission where meat is tendered in fulfilment of a contract by a deliverer who is not a clearing member of ICCH in whose name the contract is registered. This extra commission (which is freely negotiable) is paid to the clearing member in whose name the contract is registered with ICCH. II. LEGAL ASSESSMENT
(15) The notified rules and regulations of the LMFEL are to be considered as agreements within the meaning of Article 85 of the EEC Treaty.
(16) The rules and regulations of the LMFEL take into account the representations made by the Commission in relation to various other terminal markets in London. The Commission has already granted negative clearance to the rules of these associations by Decisions 85/563/EEC (1) (sugar), 85/564/EEC (2) (cocoa), 85/565/EEC (3) (coffee) and 85/566/EEC (4) (rubber).
(17) Accordingly, the rules provide that business concluded on the floor of the market between floor members may be transacted free of commission. Commission must be charged on all other transactions between members or between members and non-members. The Commission believes that this obligation is not appreciably restrictive of competition because it only entails the obligation to charge 'a' commission without any reference to the commission which is to be charged. It follows that complete freedom exists to negotiate the actual commission rates.
(18) Furthermore, as a result of representations by the Commission, amendments have been made to the rules concerning membership so that membership is now open and the criteria by which applications for membership are judged are objective (see Facts, paragraph 8 above). The Committee is now required to give reasons when it takes decisions affecting the members' rights of membership.

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(i) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 establishes the list of support schemes giving right to a direct payment under that Regulation.
(2) Article 129(1) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 gives new Member States applying the single area payment scheme the possibility to grant a separate soft fruit payment from 2012. Bulgaria, Hungary and Poland have decided to use that possibility.
(3) The separate soft fruit payment is not listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 73/2009. However, by its very nature, that payment should be considered a direct payment as defined in Article 2(d) of that Regulation since it replaces, from the 2012 calendar year, the transitional soft fruit payment granted pursuant to Article 98 of that Regulation, which is listed in Annex I to that Regulation as a direct payment. Moreover, according to Article 129(2) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 the separate soft fruit payment is to be granted within the limits of the amounts referred to in Annex XII to that Regulation corresponding to the soft fruit payment.
(4) For that reason, the non-inclusion of the separate soft fruit payment in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 constitutes an omission that needs to be remedied.
(5) Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) Since the separate soft fruit payment may be granted from 2012, this Regulation should apply from 1 January 2012.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Direct Payments,
In Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, the following entry is inserted after the entry ‘Fruit and vegetables’:
‘Fruit and vegetables Article 129(1) of this Regulation Separate soft fruit payment’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community(1), and in particular Articles 8(9) and 9 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. Previous procedure
(1) Following an investigation initiated by means of a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities(2), the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 603/1999(3), imposed definitive anti-dumping duties on imports of polypropylene binder or baler twine originating in Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary.
(2) Also in the context of this investigation, the Commission, by Decision 1999/215/EC(4), accepted a price undertaking offered by, inter alia, the Polish company WKI Isoliertechnik Spolka z.o.o. (hereinafter "the company").
B. Withdrawal of undertaking
(3) The company has, however, now withdrawn its undertaking following difficulties in observing certain conditions laid down therein.
(4) Accordingly, in view of this withdrawal, the exemption from the anti-dumping duties granted to this company should be removed and definitive duties be imposed pursuant to Articles 8(9) and 9 of Regulation (EC) No 384/96.
C. Definitive duties
(5) The investigation which led to the undertaking offered by the company was concluded by a final determination as to dumping and injury by Regulation (EC) No 603/1999.
(6) In accordance with Article 8(9) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, the rate of the anti-dumping duty now to be imposed on the company must, therefore, be based on the facts established within the context of the investigation which led to the undertaking. In this regard, in view of recitals 15, 71 and 75 of Regulation (EC) No 603/1999, it is considered appropriate that the definitive anti-dumping duty rate be set at a level of 15,7 % ad valorem.
D. Amendment of Regulation (EC) No 603/1999
(7) In view of the above, Regulation (EC) No 603/1999 should be amended so as to remove the company from the list of companies benefiting from an exemption to the anti-dumping duties on polypropylene binder or baler twine originating, inter alia, in Poland, and a definitive anti-dumping duty of 15,7 % be imposed on it.
(8) In parallel with this Regulation, the Commission, by Decision 2000/324/EC(5) has amended Decision 1999/215/EC and removed the company from the list of parties from which undertakings have been accepted,
Regulation (EC) No 603/1999 is amended as follows:
(a) Article 1(2) shall be replaced by the following:
"2. The rate of the definitive anti-dumping duty applicable to the net, free-at-Community-frontier prices before duty of the products manufactured by the companies listed below shall be as follows:
>TABLE>"
(b) Article 2(2) shall be replaced by the following:

(88/540/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 130s thereof,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas the Community together with several of its Member States signed, on 22 March 1985, the Vienna Convention for the protection of the ozone layer;
Whereas it is established that continued emissions of certain chlorofluorocarbons and halons at current levels are likely to cause significant damage to the ozone layer; whereas there is an international consensus that significant reductions in both production and consumption of such substances are necessary; whereas Decisions 80/372/EEC (3) and 82/795/EEC (4) provide for controls which are of limited effect and which cover only two such substances (CFC 11 and CFC 12);
Whereas a Protocol supplementary to the Vienna Convention, the Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the ozone layer, was negotiated and adopted on 16 September 1987; whereas the Protocol was signed by the Community and by several of its Member States;
Whereas it is necessary for the protection, promotion and improvement of the environment to bring into force the Vienna Convention and the Montreal Protocol, which is based on the principle of preventive action to avoid further damage to the ozone layer and on the scientific and technical data which were available at the time of its adoption;
Whereas to that end the Community must approve the said Convention and Protocol;
Whereas it is, in particular, necessary for the Community to become a Contracting Party to the Protocol because certain of its provisions can only be carried out if the Community and all its Member States become Contracting Parties;
Whereas in order for all the obligations under the Convention and the Protocol to be appropriately carried out, it is necessary that all Member States should also become Contracting Parties;
Whereas, furthermore, certain provisions of the Protocol, in particular Article 2(8), will apply in the Community only if all Member States become Parties to that Protocol;
Whereas all Member States should conclude as rapidly as possible their procedures for accession to and ratification of the Convention and the Protocol respectively, with a view to permit the deposit, as far as possible simultaneously, of the instruments of approval, acceptance, ratification or accession by the Community and the Member States,
The Vienna Convention for the protection of the ozone layer and the Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the ozone layer are hereby approved on behalf of the Community.
The texts of the Convention and of the Protocol appear in Annex I to this Decision.
The President of the Council shall deposit the acts of approval of the Vienna Convention and the Montreal Protocol on behalf of the Community with the Secretary General of the United Nations in accordance with Article 13 of the Vienna Convention, as read in conjunction with Articles 14 and 16 of the Montreal Protocol.
At the same time, the President shall deposit the statement of competence set out in Annex II to this Decision, in accordance with Article 13 (3) of the Vienna Convention as read in conjunction with Article 14 of the Montreal Protocol.
1. Member States, which have not already done so, shall take, at the latest by 31 October 1988, the necessary steps to permit the deposit, as far as possible simultaneously, of the instruments of ratification, acceptance, approval or accession to the Vienna Convention by the Community and the Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 (2) lays down the procedure and conditions for the disposal of cereals held by intervention agencies.
(2) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3002/92 (3) lays down common detailed rules for verifying the use and/or destination of products from intervention.
(3) Given the current market situation, a standing invitation to tender should be opened for the export of 104 730 tonnes of barley held by the Swedish intervention agency.
(4) Special procedures must be laid down to ensure that the operations and their monitoring are properly effected. To that end, securities should be lodged to ensure that the goals of the operations are achieved without excessive cost to the operators. Derogations should accordingly be made to certain rules, in particular those laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93.
(5) To forestall reimportation, exports under this invitation to tender should be limited to certain third countries.
(6) With a view to modernising the management of the system, provision should be made for the electronic transmission of the information required by the Commission.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for cereals,
The Swedish intervention agency shall issue a standing invitation to tender for the export of barley held by it in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93, save as otherwise provided for in this Regulation.
The invitation to tender shall cover a maximum of 104 730 tonnes of barley for export to third countries with the exception of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Liechtenstein, Mexico, Romania, Serbia and Montenegro (4), Switzerland and the United States of America.
1. No export refund or tax or monthly increase shall be granted on exports carried out under this Regulation.

1. Export licences shall be valid from their date of issue within the meaning of Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 until the end of the fourth month thereafter.
2. Tenders submitted in response to this invitation to tender need not be accompanied by export licence applications submitted pursuant to Article 49 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 (5).
1. Notwithstanding Article 7(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93, the time limit for submission of tenders under the first partial invitation to tender shall be 09.00 (Brussels time) on 8 September 2005.
The time limit for submitting tenders under subsequent partial invitations to tender shall be 09.00 (Brussels time) each Thursday thereafter, with the exception of 3 November 2005, 29 December 2005, 13 April 2006 and 25 May 2006, there being no invitation to tender in the weeks concerned.
The closing date for the submission of tenders for the last partial tendering procedure shall be 22 June 2006 at 09.00 (Brussels time).
2. Tenders must be lodged with the Swedish intervention agency:
Statens Jordbruksverk
Vallgatan 8
S-55182 Jönköping
Fax (46) 36 19 05 46.
The intervention agency, the storer and the successful tenderer shall, at the request of the latter and by common agreement, either before or at the time of removal from storage as the tenderer chooses, take reference samples for counter-analysis at the rate of at least one sample for every 500 tonnes and shall analyse the samples. The intervention agency may be represented by a proxy, provided this is not the storer.
Reference samples for counter-analysis shall be taken and analysed within seven working days of the date of the successful tenderer's request or within three working days if the samples are taken on removal from storage.
In the event of a dispute, the analysis results shall be forwarded electronically to the Commission.
1. The successful tenderer must accept the lot as established if the final result of the sample analyses indicates a quality:
(a) higher than that specified in the notice of invitation to tender;
(b) higher than the minimum characteristics laid down for intervention but below the quality described in the notice of invitation to tender, providing that the differences having regard to those criteria do not exceed the following limits:
— one kilogram per hectolitre as regards specific weight, which must not, however, be less than 64 kg/hl,
— one percentage point as regards moisture content,
— half a percentage point as regards the impurities referred to at B.2 and B.4 of Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 824/2000 (6),
— half a percentage point as regards the impurities referred to at B.5 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 824/2000, the percentages admissible for noxious grains and ergot remaining unchanged, however.
2. If the final result of the analyses carried out on the samples indicates a quality higher than the minimum characteristics laid down for intervention but below the quality described in the notice of invitation to tender and the difference exceeds the limits set out in paragraph 1(b), the successful tenderer may:
(a) accept the lot as established; or
(b) refuse to take over the lot concerned.
In the case of (b) above, the successful tenderer shall be discharged of all obligations relating to the lot in question and the securities shall be released provided the Commission and the intervention agency are immediately notified using the form in Annex I.
3. Where the final result of sample analyses indicates a quality below the minimum characteristics laid down for intervention, the successful tenderer may not remove the lot in question. The successful tenderer shall be discharged of all obligations relating to the lot in question and the securities shall be released provided the Commission and the intervention agency are immediately notified using the form in Annex I.
Should the cases mentioned in Article 7(2)(b) and 7(3) arise, the successful tenderer may ask the intervention agency to supply an alternative lot of barley of the requisite quality, at no extra cost. In that case, the security shall not be released. The lot must be replaced within three days of the date of the successful tenderer's request. The successful tenderer shall immediately inform the Commission thereof using the form in Annex I.
If, following successive replacements, the successful tenderer has not received a replacement lot of the quality laid down within one month of the date of the request for a replacement, the successful tenderer shall be discharged of all obligations and the securities shall be released, provided the Commission and the intervention agency have been immediately informed using the form in Annex I.
1. If the barley is removed before the results of the analyses provided for in Article 6 are known, all risks shall be borne by the successful tenderer from the time the lot is removed, without prejudice to any means of redress the tenderer might have against the storer.
2. The costs of taking the samples and conducting the analyses provided for in Article 6, with the exception of those referred to in Article 7(3), shall be borne by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) for up to one analysis per 500 tonnes, with the exception of the cost of inter-bin transfers. The costs of inter-bin transfers and any additional analyses requested by a successful tenderer shall be borne by that tenderer.

Notwithstanding Article 12 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3002/92, the documents relating to the sale of barley under this Regulation, and in particular the export licence, the removal order referred to in Article 3(1)(b) of Regulation (EEC) No 3002/92, the export declaration and, where applicable, the T5 copy shall carry one of the entries set out in Annex II.
1
1. The security lodged pursuant to Article 13(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 shall be released once the export licences have been issued to the successful tenderers.
2. Notwithstanding Article 17(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93, the obligation to export shall be covered by a security equal to the difference between the intervention price applying on the day of the award and the price awarded, but not less than EUR 25 per tonne. Half of the security shall be lodged when the licence is issued and the balance shall be lodged before the cereals are removed.
