31994R3107 | Commission Regulation (EC) No 3107/94 of 19 December 1994 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1796/81 on measures applicable to imports of mushrooms of the species Agaricus spp. falling within CN codes 0711 90 40, 2003 10 20 and 2003 10 30
| COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 3107/94 of 19 December 1994 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1796/81 on measures applicable to imports of mushrooms of the species Agaricus spp. falling within CN codes 0711 90 40, 2003 10 20 and 2003 10 30
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1796/81 of 30 June 1981 on measures applicable to imports of mushrooms of the species Agaricus spp. falling within CN codes 0711 90 40, 2003 10 20 and 2003 10 30 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1122/92 (2), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1796/81 stipulates that the quantity free of the additional amount must be allocated between the supplier countries, account being taken of traditional trade flows and of any new suppliers;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1707/90 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2429/94 (4), lays down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 1796/81; whereas, as a consequence of the various amendments which have been or must be made to Regulation (EEC) No 1707/90 in the light of the experience gained, its repeal and replacement by a new Regulation are now appropriate;
Whereas provision should be made to review the allocation during a given year on the basis of the data available after the first six months; whereas a reserve should be established so as to avoid any interruption in trade with a supplier country when the overall quantity has not been exhausted;
Whereas the European Agreements with Bulgaria (5), Poland (6) and Romania (7) grant those countries preferential access to the Community market for specific quantities;
Whereas detailed arrangements should be laid down to ensure that the quantities in excess of the tariff quotas are subjected to the levying of the additional amount; whereas those arrangements must involve the issuing of licences at the end of a period in which the quantities are checked and the necessary notifications are made by the Member States; whereas these provisions are either supplementary to or derogate from the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2405/89 of 1 August 1989 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import licences and advance fixing certificates for products processed from fruit and vegetables (8), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 556/94 (9), and by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 of 16 November 1988 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (10), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2746/94 (11);
Whereas, pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 1707/90, a new importer was not obliged to satisfy certain conditions in order to qualify as such; whereas experience shows that if proper management of the quota is to be ensured the share allocated to this category of trader must be reduced and certain criteria relating to the status of the applicants and the use of the licences allocated must be laid down;
Whereas it is more appropriate to establish henceforth an allocation between traditional importers on the basis of the quantities imported and not on the basis of the licences issued; whereas, for administrative reasons, provision should nevertheless be made for a transitional period;
Wheras, to ensure the correct use of the quotas, provision must be made for regular notification by the Member States of the quantities for which the licences have not been used;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,
The entry into free circulation within the Community of mushrooms of the species Agaricus falling within CN codes 0711 90 40, 2003 10 20 and 2003 10 30, free from any additional amount, as part of the overall quantity laid down in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1796/81, shall be subject to the conditions laid down in this Regulation.
1. The overall quantity shall be allocated between the supplier countries in accordance with Annex I, apart from a part thereof which shall constitute a reserve.
2. The allocation may be amended on the basis of information regarding the quantities for which licences have been issued as at 30 June of the year in question.
1. Regulation (EEC) 2405/89 shall apply, subject to the provisions of this Regulation.
2. Import licences shall be valid for a period of six months from the date of issue within the meaning of Article 21 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88, but shall not be valid after 31 December of the year in question.
3. Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2405/89 shall not apply.
1. Both quantities, namely that allocated to Poland pursuant to Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1796/81 on the one hand and that allocated to the other countries pursuant to Article 3 (3) of the same Regulation on the other hand, shall be distributed as follows:
(a) 85 % to traditional importers.
'Traditional importers' shall mean importers who have obtained import licences in each of the previous three calendar years and who have imported the products referred to in Article 1 in at least two of the previous three calendar years. The condition relating to the procurement of import licences shall only apply from the fourth year following the entry into force of the Treaty of Accession of Austria, Finland, Norway and Sweden to nationals of those new Member States.
(b) 15 % to new importers.
'New importers' shall mean importers other than those referred to in (a) who are traders, natural or legal persons, individuals or groups trading for at least one year. Compliance with this condition shall be certified by registration in a trade register held by the Member State or by any other proof accepted by the Member State. When an importer in this category has obtained import licences in the previous calendar year, he must show proof of having put in free circulation, on his own account, at least 50 % of the quantity allocated to him.
2. The importers referred to in paragraph 1 shall attach to their application information enabling the competent national authorities to verify to their satisfaction fulfilment of the conditions set out in paragraph 1 (a) and (b).
3. Any quantities still available on 15 October shall be allocated without discrimination between both categories of importer.
1. Licence applications submitted by the importers referred to in Article 4 (1) (a) may not relate, in any six-month period, to a quantity exceeding 60 % of the average annual quantity of imports effected during the preceding three calendar years, an exception being made in the case of suppliers in the Community as constituted on 31 December 1994 for the years 1992, 1993 and 1994, for which the reference used shall be the annual quantity of import licences issued.
2. Licence applications submitted by the importers referred to in Article 4 (1) (b) may not relate, in any six-month period, to a quantity exceeding 8 % of the total quantity allocated pursuant to the said Article 4 (1) (b).
1. Member States shall notify the Commission of the quantities applied for free of additional amount in accordance with Article 13 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2405/89, giving separate figures for the quantities applied for pursuant to Article 4 (1) (a) and (b) respectively.
2. Import licences shall be issued on the fifth working day following that on which applications are lodged, provided that no special measures are taken in the meantime.
3. If the quantities applied for exceed for any supplier country the quantity available, the Commission shall allocate the excess quantities from the reserve mentioned in Article 2 (1).
4. If, after allocation of the reserve, the quantities applied for exceed the quantity available, the Commission shall set flat-rate pecentage reduction for the applications in question and suspend the issue of licences in respect of subsequent applications.
The Commission shall regularly inform the Member States of the utilization of the quotas laid down and, at the appropriate time, of their exhaustion.
By the 15th of each month at the latest, the Member States shall notify the Commission of the quantities for which import licences have been issued but not used.
1. Article 33 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 shall apply.
2. Quantities imported within the tolerance referred to in Article 8 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 shall not be free of the additional amount.

2. The authorities competent to issue the certificate of origin shall be those indicated in Annex II.

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EU) No 211/2013 (2) lays down certification requirements for sprouts or seeds intended for the production of sprouts imported into the Union.
(2) During recent audits conducted by the Commission Inspection Services (Food and Veterinary Office) in third countries, certain deficiencies were observed. These deficiencies relate to the competent authorities' capability to certify that the seeds intended for the production of sprouts are produced in compliance with Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), in particular with the general hygiene provisions for primary production and associated operations set out in Part A of Annex I thereto.

For that reason, the model certificate in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 211/2013 also needs to be amended.
(4) This measure should be limited in time until third countries have provided the necessary guarantees that the deficiencies have been corrected.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/457/EEC of 29 September 1970 on the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species (1), as last amended by Directive 80/1141/EEC (2), and in particular Article 15 (2), (3) and (7) thereof,
Having regard to the application lodged by the Federal Republic of Germany,
Whereas, under Article 15 (1) of the said Directive, seed or propagating material of varieties of agricultural plant species which have been officially accepted during 1982 in at least one of the Member States and which also meet the conditions laid down in the said Directive are, with effect from 31 December 1984, no longer subject to any marketing restrictions relating to the variety in the Community;
Whereas, however, Article 15 (2) of the said Directive provides that a Member State may be authorized upon application to prohibit the marketing of seed and propagating material of certain varieties;
Whereas the Federal Republic of Germany has applied for such authorization for a certain number of varieties of different species;
Whereas the varieties concerned of maize, in respect of the value for cultivation and use, have not been the subject of official growing trials in the Federal Republic of Germany in view of the German application;
Whereas the variety of oats concerned are of the winter type; whereas the varieties of maize concerned have an FAO maturity class index over 350; whereas it is well known that the varieties of winter oats and the varieties of maize which have an FAO maturity class over 350 are at present not yet suitable for cultivation in view of all the kinds of utilization in the Federal Republic of Germany (second subparagraph of Article 15 (3) (c) of the said Directive);
Whereas, in respect of the varieties Argona (perennial rye-grass) and Isba (maize), the results of the trials show that in the Federal Republic of Germany, when compared with the national rules governing the acceptance of varieties there, which apply within the framework of current Community provisions, they are not sufficiently uniform in certain characteristics (Article 15 (3) (a), third case, of the said Directive);
Whereas, in respect of the varieties Argona (perennial rye-grass) and Caramba (Italian ryegrass) the results of the trials show that in the Federal Republic of Germany, when compared with the national rules governing the acceptance of varieties there, which apply within the framework of current Community provisions, they are not distinct from other varieties accepted there (first case of Article 15 (3) (a) of the said Directive);
Whereas it is impossible to complete examination of the variety Balder (meadow fescue) before the time limit specified in Article 15 (1) of the said Directive;
Whereas the time limit specified in Article 15 (1) of the abovementioned Directive should therefore, where the Federal Republic of Germany is concerned, be extended for an appropriate period to allow it to prepare the necessary information on these varieties (Article 15 (7) of the above Directive);
Whereas, therefore, the application of the Federal Republic of Germany in respect of these varieties should be granted in full;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seed and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
The Federal Republic of Germany is hereby authorized to prohibit the marketing in its territory of seed of the following varieties listed in the 1985 common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species:
I. Fodder plants:
1. Lolium multiflorum Lam.
Caramba;
2. Lolium perenne L.

Having regard to the requests submitted by the Kingdom of Denmark and the United Kingdom,
Whereas in Denmark and the United Kingdom the production of seed of winter varieties of rye (Secale cereale L.) satisfying the requirements of Directive 66/402/EEC in relation to minimum germination capacity has been insufficient in 1995 and is therefore not adequate to meet those countries' needs;
Whereas it is not possible to cover this demand satisfactorily with seed from other Member States, or from third countries, satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive;
Whereas the Kingdom of Denmark and the United Kingdom should therefore be authorized to permit for a period expiring on 31 December 1995 the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species subject to less stringent requirements;
Whereas, moreover, other Member States which are able to supply Denmark and the United Kingdom with such seed not satisfying the requirements of the Directive should be authorized to permit the marketing of such seed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
The Kingdom of Denmark and the United Kingdom are authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 31 December 1995 the marketing in their territories of a maximum of 600 tonnes of seed of winter varieties of rye (Secale cereale L.) which does not satisfy the requirements laid down in Annex II to Directive 66/402/EEC with regard to the minimum germination capacity, provided that the following requirements are satisfied:
(a) the germination capacity is at least 75 % of pure seed;
(b) the official label shall bear the endorsement 'minimum germination capacity 75 %.`
Member States other than the applicant Member States are also authorized to permit, on the terms set out in Article 1 and for the purposes intended by the applicant Member States, the marketing in their territories of the seed authorized to be marketed under this Decision.
Member States shall immediately notify the Commission and the other Member States of the various quantities of seed labelled and permitted to be marketed in their territories pursuant to this Decision.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 in conjunction with Article 300(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Under the terms of the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Islamic Federal Republic of The Comoros on fishing off The Comoros (1), the Contracting Parties are to enter into negotiations, before the period of validity of the Protocol to the Agreement expires, to determine by mutual agreement the contents of the Protocol for the period that follows and, where applicable, the amendments or additions to be made to the Annex thereto.
(2) The two Contracting Parties have decided that, pending negotiations on amendments to the Protocol, the period of validity of the current Protocol approved by Regulation (EC) No 1439/2001 (2) should be extended from 28 February 2004 to 31 December 2004 by means of an agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters.
(3) The exchange of letters provides Community fishermen with fishing opportunities from 28 February 2004 to 31 December 2004 in waters over which The Comoros has sovereignty or jurisdiction.
(4) To avoid any interruption in the fishing activities of Community vessels it is essential that the extension should enter into force as soon as possible. The Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters should therefore be signed, subject to its definitive conclusion by the Council.
(5) The method of allocating the fishing opportunities among Member States on the basis of the extended Protocol should be confirmed,
The signing of the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters concerning the extension of the Protocol setting out the fishing opportunities and financial contribution provided for in the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Islamic Federal Republic of The Comoros on fishing off The Comoros for the period from 28 February 2004 to 31 December 2004 is hereby approved on behalf of the Community, subject to the Council Decision concerning the conclusion of the said Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters.
The text of the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters is attached to this Decision.
The President of the Council is hereby authorised to designate the persons empowered to sign the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters on behalf of the Community subject to its conclusion.
The Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters shall be provisionally applied by the Community from 28 February 2004.

amending and correcting Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products with regard to organic production, labelling and control
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 of 28 June 2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 (1), and in particular Articles 12(3), 14(2), 16(1) and (3)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Chapter 2 of Title III of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 lays down basic requirements with regard to farm production. The detailed rules for the implementation of those basic requirements have been established by Commission Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 (2).
(2) Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 allows the use of farm-inputs such as fertilisers, soil conditioners and plant protection products under certain conditions, provided that they have been authorised for use in organic production. In accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 16(3) of that Regulation, Member States have submitted dossiers to the other Member States and the Commission, in view of including certain products in Annexes I and II to Regulation (EC) No 889/2008. Those dossiers have been examined by the Expert group for technical advice for organic production (hereinafter ‘EGTOP’).
(3) Based on the recommendations of the EGTOP (3), which concluded as regards fertilisers and soil conditioners that the substances biogas digestate, hydrolysed proteins from animal by-product origin, leonardite, chitin and sapropel comply with the organic objectives and principles, those substances should be included in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 for use under certain specific conditions.
(4) Based on the recommendations of the EGTOP, the limit of ‘0’ for chromium (VI) relating to certain substances listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 should be replaced with ‘not detectable’.
(5) For plant protection products, the EGTOP concluded in its recommendations (4) that the substances sheep fat, laminarin and aluminium silicate (Kaolin) comply with the organic objectives and principles. Therefore, those substances should be included in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 for use under certain specific conditions.
(6) As regards the horizontal legislation for plant protection products, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (5) established a Union list of active substances previously included in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC (6) and of active substances approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (7). It is appropriate to adapt the relevant parts of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 to that list. In particular, gelatine, rotenone extracted from Derris spp. and Lonchocarpus spp. and Terphrosia spp., diammonium phosphate, copper octanoate, potassium aluminium (aluminium sulphate, kalinite), mineral oils and potassium permanganate should be deleted from that Annex.
(7) As regards the active substances lecithin, quassia extracted from Quassia amara and calcium hydroxide for which applications for approval have been already submitted to the Commission under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, it is appropriate at this stage to keep them exceptionally on the list in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 until their assessment is finalised. In view of the conclusions of the assessment the Commission will take appropriate action regarding the presence of the three substances concerned on the list in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 889/2008.
(8) In the light of that horizontal legislation, it is also appropriate to adapt the name, description, compositional requirement and conditions of use for certain substances and micro-organisms listed in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 889/2008, in particular for, plant oils, micro-organisms used for biological pest and disease control, pheromones, copper, ethylene, paraffin oil and potassium bicarbonate.
(9) Article 24(2) of Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 was amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 505/2012 (8) in order to update the references to Annexes V and VI to Regulation (EC) No 889/2008, which had been replaced by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 505/2012. In the amended wording of Article 24(2) of Regulation (EC) No 889/2008, ‘homeopathic products’ had erroneously been omitted. Since those products appeared in that provision before the amendment by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 505/2012, they need to be reinserted.
(10) In Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 as amended by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 505/2012, the former entries defluorinated monocalciumphosphate and defluorinated dicalciumphosphate have been erroneously replaced by a generic description, namely defluorinated phosphate. However, defluorinated phosphate is not equivalent to the products defluorinated monocalciumphosphate and defluorinated dicalciumphosphate. Therefore, those two products should be reinserted into Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 and defluorinated phosphate deleted.
(11) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 651/2013 (9) has deleted the former authorisation for clinoptilolite from Commission Regulation (EC) No 1810/2005 (10), has expanded its use as an additive in animal nutrition to all animal species and has changed its code to 1g568. Therefore, in order to allow a continuous use of clinoptilolite in organic production, Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 needs to be adapted in accordance with Implementing Regulation (EU) No 651/2013.
(12) Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 should therefore be amended and corrected accordingly.
(13) For the sake of legal certainty, the correction of Article 24(2) and Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 should apply from the date of entry into force of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 505/2012.
(14) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the regulatory Committee on organic production,
Amendment of Regulation (EC) No 889/2008
Annexes I, II, and VI to Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 are amended in accordance with points 1, 2 and 4 of the Annex to this Regulation.
Correction of Regulation (EC) No 889/2008
Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 is corrected as follows:
(1) in Article 24, paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:
(2) Annex V is amended in accordance with point 3 of the Annex to this Regulation.
Entry into force and application
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Whereas under Article 39 (2) (a) of the Treaty, in working out the common agricultural policy account should be taken of the social structure of agriculture and the structural and natural disparities between the various agricultural regions;
Whereas, to attain the objectives of the common agricultural policy set out in Article 39 (1) (a) and (b) of the Treaty, special provisions adapted to the situation of the least-favoured agricultural areas should be taken at Community level;
Whereas the departments of Charente and Charente-Maritime are in an unfavourable situation from the point of view of agricultural incomes and employment both in agriculture and outside it; whereas, therefore, action should be taken with regard to the structure and development of wine-growing in that region to have a permanent effect on incomes and agricultural employment;
Whereas, therefore, the wine-growing potential of the Charentes departments should be brought into line with market requirements by encouraging the conversion of the areas under vines whose suitability for wine-growing has not been confirmed and which could be used for other crops; whereas producers should receive special financial aid to encourage them to convert these areas under vines;
Whereas, in view of the above, the measures envisaged constitute a common measure within the meaning of Article 6 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy [4] as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2788/72 [5];
Whereas it is for the Commission to approve, after receiving an opinion from the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structures, a programme presented by the French Republic,
In order to re-establish the balance between wine production and normal use in the Charentes departments, a common measure within the meaning of Article 6 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 shall be initiated, to be implemented by the French Republic, to speed up operations to convert some of the vineyards used to produce wine suitable for the production of certain wine spirits with a registered designation of origin.
1. The financial contribution by the Community may be used only in connection with a programme which applies to all those areas under vines in the Charentes departments to be converted.
This programme shall be presented to the Commission by the French Republic.
2. The programme referred to in the first paragraph shall be examined and approved after consultation with the Committee of the Fund on the financial aspects according to the procedure provided for in Article 18 (2) and (3) of Directive 72/159/EEC [6].
The programme referred to in Article 2, which should enable a balance to be established between wine production and normal use in the Charentes departments, shall include the following information:
- the number of hectares previously under vines, which will no longer be used for wine-growing after conversion,
- location of the areas and the date when they were planted,
- timetable for grubbing operations,
- information on the suitability of the areas converted for other crops,
- measures to encourage the conversion of the areas referred to above in the form of a single special premium,
- the scheduled amount of the aid,
- a commitment to the final cessation of wine-growing within the holding in question for an area equivalent to that eligible for payment of the aid,
- the objectives of these operations in relation to the present situation both as regards quality and quantity.
1. The expenditure by the French Republic, in connection with the programme referred to in Article 2, in respect of the special conversion premium referred to in the fifth indent of Article 3 shall be eligible for assistance from the Guidance Section of the Fund provided that it does not exceed 4000 units of account per hectare converted.
2. The Guidance Section of the Fund shall reimburse to the French Republic 50 % of the eligible expenditure referred to in paragraph 1, not exceeding 7500 hectares.
1. The duration of the common measure shall be three wine-growing years from the beginning of the wine-growing year following the date on which this Directive becomes applicable.
2. The estimated total costs of the common measure to the Fund shall be 15 million European units of account for the whole period.
When the programme referred to in Article 2 is approved, the Commission shall lay down, in agreement with the French Republic, the detailed rules regarding periodical information on the progress of the programme. At the same time the French Republic shall designate the organizations responsible for the technical execution.
1. Without prejudice to Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70, the French Republic shall take, in accordance with their national laws, regulations and administrative provisions, the necessary measures to recover the amounts paid in cases where the undertaking referred to in the seventh indent of Article 3 has not been complied with.
It shall inform the Commission of the measures taken for this purpose and, in particular, shall periodically notify it of the state of administrative and judicial procedures relating thereto.
2. Sums recovered shall be paid to the paying departments or agencies and deducted by them from the expenditure financed by the Fund pro rata to Community financing.
3. The financial consequences of failing to recover amounts paid out shall be borne by the Community pro rata to Community financing.
4. Detailed rules for the application of this Article shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70.
1. Applications for reimbursement shall be in respect of the expenditure by the French Republic for one calendar year and shall be presented to the Commission before 1 July of the following year.
2. Aid from the Fund shall be decided on in accordance with Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70.
3. Advance payments may be granted by the Fund in accordance with the detailed rules for financing adopted by the French Republic and depending on the progress made in carrying out the programme.
4. Article 6 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 shall apply to this Directive.
5. The detailed rules for application of this Article shall be adopted according to the procedure provided for in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70.
This Directive shall apply as soon as the Council takes a decision on the Commission proposal to amend Regulation (EEC) No 729/70.

(2) Certain third countries have presented residue monitoring plans to the Commission for products and species not originally indicated in the Annex of Decision 2000/159/EC. The evaluation of these monitoring plans and the additional information requested by the Commission provided sufficient guarantees on the residue monitoring in these third countries for the products or species indicated.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 (2) and (EC) No 1490/2002 (3) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the third stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and establish a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list includes the active substances listed in the Annex to this Directive.
(2) By Regulation (EC) No 1095/2007 a new Article 11b was inserted into Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002 to allow active substances for which there are clear indications that it may be expected that they do not have any harmful effects on human or animal health or on groundwater or any unacceptable influence on the environment, to be included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC without detailed scientific advice from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) having been sought.
(3) For the active substances listed in the Annex to this Directive the Commission examined in accordance with Article 11a of Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002 the effects on human, animal health, groundwater and the environment for a range of uses proposed by the notifiers, with the conclusion that those active substances satisfy the requirements of Article 11b of Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002.
(4) In accordance with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002 the Commission has submitted draft review reports for the active substances listed in the Annex to this Directive to the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, for examination. Those reports have been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 14 March 2008 in the format of the Commission review reports. In accordance with Article 12a of Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002 the Commission is to request the EFSA to deliver its view on the draft review reports by 31 December 2010 at the latest.
(5) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing the active substances listed in the Annex to this Directive may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1) (a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which have been examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include in Annex I to that Directive the active substances listed in the Annex to this Directive, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing this active substance can be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.
(6) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the inclusion.
(7) Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Directive 91/414/EEC as a consequence of including an active substance in Annex I, Member States should be allowed a period of six months after inclusion to review existing authorisations of plant protection products containing the active substances listed in the Annex to ensure that the requirements laid down by Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular in its Article 13 and the relevant conditions set out in Annex I, are satisfied. Member States should vary, replace or withdraw, as appropriate, existing authorisations, in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. By derogation from the above deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC.
(8) The experience gained from previous inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 (4) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the directives that have been adopted until now amending Annex I.
(9) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(10) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
Member States shall adopt and publish by 30 June 2009 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 July 2009.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
1. Member States shall in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing the active substances listed in the Annex as active substances by 30 June 2009.
By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to that Directive relating to the active substances listed in the Annex are met, with the exception of those identified in part B of the entry concerning that active substance, and that the holders of the authorisations have, or have access to, dossiers satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive in accordance with the conditions of Article 13 of that Directive.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing one of the active substances listed in the Annex as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by 31 December 2008 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to that Directive and taking into account part B of the entry in Annex I to that Directive concerning the active substances listed in the Annex. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 4(1)(b), (c), (d) and (e) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
Following that determination Member States shall:
(a) in the case of a product containing one of the active substances listed in the Annex as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 December 2013 at the latest; or
(b) in the case of a product containing one of the active substances listed in the Annex as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 December 2013 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective Directive or Directives which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, whichever is the latest.
This Directive shall enter into force on 1 January 2009.

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), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2), and in particular Article 7(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, production refunds may be granted on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) and (f) of that Regulation, on syrups listed in Article 1(1)(d) thereof and on chemically pure fructose covered by CN code 1702 50 00 as an intermediate product, that are in one of the situations referred to in Article 23(2) of the Treaty and are used in the manufacture of certain products of the chemical industry.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards granting the production refund on certain sugar products used in the chemical industry(3) lays down the rules for determining the production refunds and specifies the chemical products the basic products used in the manufacture of which attract a production refund. Articles 5, 6 and 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provide that the production refund applying to raw sugar, sucrose syrups and unprocessed isoglucose is to be derived from the refund fixed for white sugar in accordance with a method of calculation specific to each basic product.
(3) Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provides that the production refund on white sugar is to be fixed at monthly intervals commencing on the first day of each month. It may be adjusted in the intervening period where there is a significant change in the prices for sugar on the Community and/or world markets. The application of those provisions results in the production refund fixed in Article 1 of this Regulation for the period shown.
(4) As a result of the amendment to the definition of white sugar and raw sugar in Article 1(2)(a) and (b) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, flavoured or coloured sugars or sugars containing any other added substances are no longer deemed to meet those definitions and should thus be regarded as "other sugar". However, in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001, they attract the production refund as basic products.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 20 January 2006
amending Decision 2005/710/EC concerning certain protection measures in relation to a suspicion of highly pathogenic avian influenza in Romania
(notified under document number C(2006) 61)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2006/23/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC (1), and in particular Article 18(7) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (2), and in particular Article 22(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Avian influenza is an infectious viral disease in poultry and other birds, causing mortality and disturbance which can quickly take on epizootic proportions liable to present a serious threat to animal and public health and to reduce the profitability of poultry farming sharply. There is a risk that the disease agent might be introduced via international trade in live poultry and poultry products.
(2) On 12 October 2005 Romania notified the Commission of the isolation of an influenza A virus of subtype H5N1 Asian strain collected from a clinical case in poultry. Commission Decision 2005/710/EC of 13 October 2005 concerning certain protection measures in relation to a suspicion of highly pathogenic avian influenza in Romania (3) was therefore adopted.
(3) Romania has applied strict disease control measures and has sent further information on the disease situation to the Commission which justify limiting the suspension of imports to those parts of the territory of Romania that are affected and at risk.
(4) Decision 2005/710/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Decision 2005/710/EC is amended as follows:
1. Article 1 is replaced by the following:
(a) live poultry, ratites, farmed and wild feathered game, and hatching eggs of these species coming from the part of the territory of Romania referred to in Part A of the Annex; and
(b) the following products coming from the part of the territory of Romania mentioned in Part B of the Annex:
— fresh meat of poultry, ratites, farmed and wild feathered game,
— meat preparations and meat products consisting of or containing meat of those species,
— raw pet food and unprocessed feed material containing any parts of those species,
— eggs for human consumption,
— non-treated game trophies from any birds, and
— unprocessed feathers and parts of feathers.
2. the Annex the text of which is set out in the Annex to this Decision is added.
Member States shall immediately take the necessary measures to comply with this Decision and publish those measures. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2474/95 of 23 October 1995 amending Regulation (EC) No 1015/94 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 3283/94 of 22 December 1994 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), and in particular Article 23 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (2), and in particular Article 14 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE
(1) The Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1015/94 (3), imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of television camera systems originating in Japan.
(2) The Council specifically excluded from the scope of the anti-dumping duty the professional cameras listed in the Annex to that Regulation (hereinafter referred to as 'the Annex`), representing high-end professional cameras technically falling within the product definition under Article 1 (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1015/94 but which cannot be regarded as broadcast cameras.
B. REVIEW PROCEDURE
(3) Subsequently, several exporters made it known to the Commission that they intended to introduce new models of professional cameras into the Community market, which in their view should be added to the list of camera models in the Annex exempted from the anti-dumping duty.
(4) The Japanese producer, Ikegami, announced the introduction into the Community market of a broadcast camera (HK-466/P) which is furnished with four sensors, charge-coupled devices (CCDs), instead of three CCDs, as described in the product definition for broadcast cameras under Article 1 (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1015/94. The complainant Community producers (hereinafter 'the Community industry`) requested the inclusion of this camera within the scope of the anti-dumping duty since they claimed that it was a like product, and provided technical specifications.
(5) The Commission commenced a review of Regulation (EC) No 1015/94 in June 1994, limited to determining whether the new products fall within the scope of the present proceeding.
C. RESULTS OF THE REVIEW
(a) Successor or new models (6) The Commission informed all parties concerned of the possibility of applying for inclusion in the Annex of new or successor models.
(7) The following companies made applications in respect of the new and the successor models listed below and supplied the relevant technical information.
Successor models (i) Hitachi - camera head HV-C20 and submodel HV-C20M,
- camera head Z-ONE-D and submodels (A), (B) and (C),
- camera control units RU-Z2, RC-Z1, RC-Z11, RC-Z2, RC-Z21,
- camera adaptors CA-Z1, CA-Z2, CA-Z1SJ, CA-Z1SP, CA-Z1M, CA-Z1M2, CA-Z1HB, CA-C10, CA-C10SP, CA-C10SJA, CA-C10M, CA-C10B,
- view finder GM-50 (A).
(ii) Ikegami - camera head HC-390,
- viewfinder VF 15-39,
- camera adaptor CA-390.
(iii) JVC - camera head KY-27CECH,
- camera control unit RM-P27OEG.
(iv) Matsushita - camera head WV-F-565HE,
- viewfinder WV-VF42E,
- remote control units WV-RC550/G and WV-RC550/B.
(v) Sony - camera head family DXC-637 P in the configurations DXC-637PK, DXC-637PL, DXC-637PH, PVW-637PK and PVW-637PL,
- view finders DXF-601CE, DXF-40BCE and DXF-50BCE.
New models:
(vi) JVC - camera head KH-100U: it is intended to be used in a closed circuit system (such as lecture halls, exhibition rooms and theatres). It can only be used in the Japanese high definition standard (Hi-Vision) and cannot be employed under the current European broadcast standard (PAL or Secam).
(8) The Commission provided the Community industry concerned with the technical details of all of the models listed above and asked them to give their comments regarding the classification as professional cameras.
The Community industry confirmed that all of the models mentioned under recital 7 were either successors to professional camera models which were already excluded from the application of the duty or new models of professional cameras.
(9) The Commission carried out a technical examination, which for the successor models included a physical comparison with the predecessor models. On the basis of this technical examination and in the light of the comments made by the interested parties concerned, it is concluded that all models listed in recital 7 are either professional cameras and related equipment which replace or update models previously listed in the Annex, or new models of professional cameras. It follows that they should be exempt from the application of the anti-dumping duty and that the Annex should be amended accordingly.
(b) The four-CCD camera (10) The Commission asked Ikegami to supply information on its new four-CCD camera and to comment on the request of the Community industry. Ikegami provided technical details and explanations regarding the four-CCD camera. On this basis, all interested parties concerned were invited to make their comments.
Ikegami's position (11) From the formal point of view, Ikegami argued that the four-CCD camera was not covered by the anti-dumping proceeding, since no complaint had been lodged in regard to it and it had not submitted to investigation at that time. Regulation (EC) No 1015/94 concerns only camera heads with three sensors. Ikegami further argued that a review could not alter the scope of the proceedings, which was defined in the notice of initiation and in the provisional and definitive duty regulations.
(12) As far as the technical aspects are concerned, Ikegami claimed that the four-CCD camera is not a like product comparable to three-CCD cameras, since a completely new technology was employed. Two of the CCDs are intended to pick up the light for the colour green. Ikegami submitted a memorandum showing that scientific research on the use of two CCDs for the green channel had already started in 1991 and claimed it to be a technical development which had been envisaged before the imposition of the anti-dumping duty and which was therefore not related to the application of the imposed anti-dumping duty.
Ikegami pointed out that the four-CCD system offers a number of advantages over three-CCD cameras:
- a higher resolution of the whole image,
- a better modulation-depth,
- a higher dynamic range,
- less aliasing,
- the reduction of chromatic aberration of the lenses.
(13) From the market perspective, Ikegami claimed that four-CCD cameras formed a separate market segment, being the only products optimized for 16: 9 Pal-Plus production, and that, with the introduction of the new HK-466/P, a new market segment would be created. In conclusion, Ikegami took the view that this product could not cause injury to the three-CCD Community industry.
Comments from other exporters (14) Only one exporter commented stating that the new four-CCD cameras did not show any substantial change as compared with the three-CCD cameras and that except for the four-CCD camera head containing certain new parts, all the other components were identical; the exporter was of the view that this product could therefore be regarded as equivalent to the three-CCD systems.
Comments from the Community industry (15) As regards the technical aspects, the Community industry stated that the addition of one CCD did not have any significant impact on the nature of the product as a broadcast camera. They affirmed that the double CCD in halfpixel offset is only an intermediate solution, merely representing a way of temporarily overcoming technological problems. The four CCD technology may represent an improvement in the performance of Ikegami's cameras, but not in the whole market. The existence of a different approach known as the dynamic pixel management (DPM) technology was mentioned as a way of obtaining the same results in terms of vertical/horizontal resolutions.
(16) From a market perspective, the Community industry asserted that the four-CCD will not create any separate market segment, as it would target the same users as the three-CCD cameras currently do. They conclude that the four-CCD camera is not a new product, nor is it creating a new market segment. Consequently, it should fall within the scope of Regulation (EC) No 1015/94.
Conclusion (17) From a formal point of view, the product definition given under Article 1 (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1015/94 referred to three-CCD cameras solely in order to differentiate the products covered by the proceeding from single-CCD cameras (camcorders), which are excluded. However, four-CCD cameras fall within the single category of product concerned and would have been expressly mentioned in the description of the product subject to the investigation, had they been known then to exist. Thus it is not a question of extension of the scope of the proceeding but merely a clarification of the product definition.
(18) From a technical point of view, the four-CCD camera is a like product. Ikegami's new four-CCD camera offers an equivalent performance, compared to the three-CCD camera system, since the addition of one CCD does not bring any substantial change to the technology employed in three-CCD cameras. It can be concluded that the four-CCD camera is only one possible technical solution to be regarded as an 'internal` evolution which has been developed by one competitor in order to face growing competition and technical complexity in the camera market.
(19) From a market perspective, the four-CCD camera does not target a separate new market segment, being a broadcast product which will be potentially bought by the same users which are currently using three-CCD broadcast cameras.
(20) For the reasons stated above, four-CCD cameras should be subject to the anti-dumping duty imposed. Therefore Regulation (EC) No 1015/94 should be amended accordingly.
(21) Since the scope of the review has been limited to the issue of the classification of new products, the conclusion of this review should not affect the determination of the expiry date of Regulation (EC) No 1015/94 pursuant to Article 15 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88,
Regulation (EC) No 1015/94 is hereby amended as follows:

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 88(2) thereof,
Having regard to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 62(1)(a) thereof,
Having called on interested parties to submit their comments pursuant to the provisions cited above(1) and having regard to their comments,
Whereas:
I. PROCEDURE
(1) By letter dated 28 February 2002, the Italian authorities notified a plan to grant investment aid to Aquafil Technopolymers SpA, a producer of polymers, a chemical product used for the production of synthetic fibres.
(2) By letter dated 5 June 2002, the Commission informed Italy that it had decided to initiate the procedure laid down in Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty in respect of the aid.
(3) The Commission decision to initiate the procedure was published in the Official Journal of the European Communities(2). The Commission invited interested parties to submit their comments on the aid.
(4) The Commission received comments from interested parties. It forwarded them to Italy, which was given the opportunity to react.
II. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE AID
(5) Aquafil Technopolymers SpA is a wholly owned subsidiary of Aquafil SpA, which is itself part of Gruppo Bonazzi SpA, the holding company of the Bonazzi family. The group, which is a major producer of synthetic fibres, has recently carried out a vertical integration of its production chain, setting up new companies for the production of the different chemical raw materials it needs for its internal use.
(6) The new investment is part of this strategy. Aquafil Technopolymers SpA, which was founded recently, groups together the chemical compounding activities and the production of base polymers for compounding. The new plant is to produce two main types of compounds: "masterbatch", initially only for the group's self-consumption, and compounds of polyamide 6,66 and 12, mainly for sale outside the group, with 60 % to be placed on the Italian market and the remainder in the rest of Europe. The investment costs relate to the acquisition of an existing industrial building (EUR 6.2 million) and the installation therein of the necessary equipment (EUR 1,3 million).
(7) Aquafil's main competitors at European level are Nyltech, Radici Novacips, Lati, Basf, Bayer, Dupont General Electronics, Ems, Huels.
(8) The notified aid consists of a grant equal to 10 % of the investments costing EUR 7457000,30 to be undertaken by Aquafil Technopolymers SpA. The grant is to be awarded by the Autonomous Province of Trento under Provincial Law No 6 of 13 December 1999, hereinafter referred to as "Law No 6/1999", governing all aid granted by the Province to businesses.
(9) The Italian authorities base their notification on two provisions of Law No 6/1999. Article 2(3) provides that large firms are eligible for aid under the Law for purposes other than horizontal objectives, subject to prior notification and approval of individual grants by the Commission. This would be the case where the aid is necessary for the firm to remain on the market, in competitive terms, or to safeguard jobs. Article 9(4) of the Law states that in the case of a replacement activity, aid for investment can be increased by 10 % in relation to the aid intensity laid down in the Community rules. Replacement activity is defined therein as the creation or expansion of a company that reabsorbs a significant proportion of previously lost jobs.
(10) The Italian authorities consider that the investment planned by Aquafil Technopolymers SpA is necessary to safeguard jobs and qualifies as a replacement activity, because the building acquired with this investment and where the new plant is to be installed belongs to Komarek SpA, a company in liquidation, from which Aquafil Technopolymers SpA will also be taking some employees. Out of the extra 20 new jobs to be created at this new plant, the company has undertaken to fill at least nine with former employees of Komarek SpA.
III. GROUNDS FOR INITIATING THE PROCEDURE
(11) In its decision initiating proceedings, the Commission doubted that any of the exceptions provided for in Article 87 could be applicable to the notified aid. It could not be regarded as aid for a company to remain on the market or to safeguard jobs, or, in other words, as rescue and restructuring aid. The Commission noted that the investment was not part of a restructuring process but, on the contrary, it was an investment for expansion/consolidation in the market of the company and of the group it belonged to. The Italian authorities had not provided any restructuring plan, nor did they claim that the investment formed part of a restructuring plan for the company. Moreover, Aquafil Technopolymers SpA was established at Arco in the Province of Trento, and Trento was not eligible for regional investment aid.
IV. COMMENTS FROM INTERESTED PARTIES
(12) The only interested party that submitted comments is the beneficiary of the planned aid. Aquafil claimed that it carried out the investment trusting that it would receive the aid provided for in Law No 6/1999. It also maintained that it was not rescue or restructuring aid but aid for a replacement activity as provided for in Law No 6/1999. It claimed that the size of the workforce had been maintained, since it had taken over some of Komarek's workers and had hired new ones, so that the employment level had remained basically the same. Finally, it maintained that the investment had a favourable impact on the environment (reduction of waste, since the plant used as raw material waste produced in another plant; reduction of transport, since the plant was located close to another plant which was to use the final product; refurbishment of the roof of the building in order to prevent asbestos dust escaping into the air).
V. COMMENTS FROM ITALY
(13) The Italian authorities maintained that the aid could not be classed as rescue or restructuring aid. It involved an increase of 10 % in the allowable aid intensity for investments concerning a replacement activity making it possible to take over some of the workers of a company that had ceased trading within the meaning of Article 9 of the Regional Law, which had been approved by the Commission. Italy requested the Commission not to call into question the provisions of Law No 6/1999 when it examined individual projects notified to it and to evaluate the planned aid to Aquafil, where appropriate making its approval subject to conditions.
VI. ASSESSMENT OF THE AID
(14) In accordance with Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty, any aid granted by a Member State or through state resources in any form whatsoever which distorts or threatens to distort competition by favouring certain undertakings or the production of certain goods shall, insofar as it affects trade between Member States, be incompatible with the common market.
(15) The proposed aid to Aquafil Technopolymers SpA consists of an outright grant to be financed by State resources from the Autonomous Province of Trento. The production of Aquafil Technopolymers SpA in particular and of Aquafil in general is widely traded throughout Europe. The proposed grant to Aquafil Technopolymers SpA therefore constitutes State aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the Treaty.
(16) The notification was made under Article 2(3) of the Regional Law, which provides that, except for de minimis aid, aid for environmental protection and R & D aid, large undertakings qualify for the aid measures provided for in the Law only where the aid is necessary for them to remain on the market, in competitive terms, or to safeguard jobs, subject to prior notification and approval of the individual grants by the Commission.
(17) The notified aid to Aquafil Technopolymers SpA cannot be regarded as aid to enable a company to remain on the market or safeguard employment or, in other words, as rescue and restructuring aid. The company is not in difficulty and the investment is not part of a restructuring process; on the contrary, it is an investment for expansion/consolidation in the market of the company and of the group it belongs to, Gruppo Bonazzi SpA. This group, one of the largest in Italy in the synthetic fibres sector, has been implementing in recent years an industrial strategy of vertical integration. The Italian authorities have not provided any restructuring plan, nor have they (or the beneficiary) claimed that the investment forms part of a restructuring plan for the company.
(18) Neither can the aid be regarded as aid to safeguard jobs. In accordance with Article 9(5) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2204/2002 of 12 December 2002 on the application of Articles 87 and 88 of the EC Treaty to State aid for employment (hereinafter the employment aid regulation)(3), aid to maintain jobs consists of financial support given to an undertaking to retain workers who would otherwise be laid off. In the present case, however, the Commission notes that the aid is for investment for the company's expansion/consolidation in the market which has entailed the creation of jobs.
(19) The Commission therefore considers that the aid is not covered by the approved scheme and that, accordingly, the provisions of Article 9(4) of Law No 6/1999 are not applicable.
(20) In these circumstances, the Commission must examine whether the aid can be considered to be compatible with the common market under the provisions of Article 87(3)(a) or (c) of the Treaty.
(21) The Commission has decided, on proposals from the Member States, which areas in each of the Member States qualify for the geographical exceptions under the abovementioned provisions; such areas are indicated on the "regional aid maps". Aquafil Technopolymers SpA is located in Arco, Trento. According to the regional aid map for Italy(4), Trento is not eligible for regional investment aid. The Commission therefore considers that the proposed aid cannot qualify for the regional exception to the general ban laid down in Article 87(1).
(22) The Commission has also set out in different communications, guidelines and regulations, the rules it applies when assessing and approving State aid with horizontal objectives which qualifies for an exception pursuant to the first sentence of Article 87(3)(c). Such aid is for environmental protection, research and development, employment and vocational training.
(23) The Commission notes that, under Article 4(2) of the employment aid regulation, large firms located outside areas or sectors eligible for regional aid do not qualify for aid to create employment. Moreover, in accordance with Article 9(5) of the regulation, firms located outside areas eligible for the derogation under Article 87(3)(a) are not eligible for aid to maintain jobs. The Commission also notes that the Italian authorities have not considered the investment eligible for aid for environmental protection and therefore have not provided any information allowing the Commission to examine it under the Community guidelines on State aid for environmental protection(5).
(24) In these circumstances the Commission considers that the notified aid is not eligible for the exception provided for in the first sentence of Article 87(3)(c).
VII. CONCLUSION
(25) In view of the foregoing, the Commission finds that the State aid that Italy intends to implement in favour of Aquafil is incompatible with the common market,
The State aid which Italy is planning to implement for Aquafil Technopolymers SpA, amounting to EUR 745700, is incompatible with the common market.
The aid may accordingly not be implemented.
Italy shall inform the Commission, within two months of notification of this Decision, of the measures taken to comply with it.

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 23 March 1983, The United Kingdom 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 'SPEX - Czerny-Turner Spectrograph-Spectrometer, model 1802, with accessories', ordered on 17 May 1982 and intended to be used in research on the interaction of laser light with plasmas, 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 22 September 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 spectrograph; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the resolution power 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 a 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 'Monochromateur HRS' manufactured by Jobin-Yvon, 16-18, rue du Canal, F-91160 Longjumeau,
The apparatus described as 'SPEX - Czerny-Turner Spectrograph-Spectrometer, model 1802, with accessories', which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 23 March 1983, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 16(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 of 4 December 2007 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC. That list includes tebuconazole.
(2) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, tebuconazole has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 8, wood preservatives, as defined in Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC.
(3) Denmark was designated as Rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 11 January 2006 in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.
(4) The competent authority report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 29 November 2007, in an assessment report.
(5) The review of tebuconazole did not reveal any open questions or concerns to be addressed by the Scientific Committee on Health and Environmental Risks.
(6) It appears from the examinations made that biocidal products used as wood preservatives and containing tebuconazole may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC. It is therefore appropriate to include tebuconazole in Annex I for product type 8, in order to ensure that in all Member States authorisations for biocidal products used as wood preservatives and containing tebuconazole can be granted, modified, or cancelled in accordance with Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC. However, unacceptable risks were identified for the in situ treatment of wood outdoors and for treated wood in continuous contact with water. Authorisation of these uses will require the submission of data demonstrating that the products can be used without unacceptable risks to the environment.
(7) In the light of the findings of the assessment report, it is appropriate to require that instructions are provided to indicate that treated timber must be stored after treatment on impermeable hard standing to prevent direct losses to soil and allow losses to be collected for re-use or disposal, in accordance with Article 10(2)(i)(d) of Directive 98/8/EC.
(8) It is important that the provisions of this Directive be applied simultaneously in all the Member States in order to ensure equal treatment of biocidal products on the market containing the active substance tebuconazole and also to facilitate the proper operation of the biocidal products market in general.
(9) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed and to ensure that applicants who have prepared dossiers can benefit fully from the 10-year period of data protection, which, in accordance with Article 12(1)(c)(ii) of Directive 98/8/EC, starts from the date of inclusion.
(10) After inclusion, Member States should be allowed a reasonable period to implement Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC, and in particular, to grant, modify or cancel authorisations of biocidal products in product-type 8 containing tebuconazole to ensure that they comply with Directive 98/8/EC.
(11) Directive 98/8/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(12) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,
Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1544/95 (2), and in particular Articles 53 (3) and 75 thereof,
Whereas steps should be taken to help supply the market by means of imports into the Community of grape musts from third countries taking into account the actual availability of this product on the Community market;
Whereas the arrangements for the import of grape must from third countries were fundamentally amended by the entry into force on 1 September 1995 of measures providing for the payment of the normal customs duty plus, in certain cases, specific duty;
Whereas the combination of these two factors justifies the adoption of a market measure, valid for the rest of the current marketing year, to exempt imports of grape must from payment of that specific duty up to a quantity reflecting traditional trade in that product and fulfilling the supply needs of the Community market;
Whereas use of and compliance with that quantity should be controlled by means of a system of import licences; whereas detailed rules should therefore be laid down regarding the submission of applications and the issue of licences;
Whereas, furthermore, it should be laid down that decisions on import licence applications should be notified after a period for deliberation; whereas that period must permit the Commission to assess the quantities applied for and, where appropriate, lay down special measures with regard, in particular, to applications pending;
Whereas the facilities for the import of the grape must in question must be offered in accordance with the rules on the use of such imported products laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 822/87; whereas, in order to ensure that the arrangements function smoothly, provision should be made for the lodging of a security with the customs authorities of the Member States which should be immediately released pro rata the quantities for which proof of use is provided;
Whereas each Member State may provide for checks on use in accordance with a national procedure pursuant to Article 487 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1762/95 (4), provided that the goods do not leave its territory before the final use; whereas, where the goods are used in a Member State other than the Member State of import, those checks should be carried out in accordance with the relevant provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93;
Whereas, in order to administer the arrangements, the Commission requires accurate information on the licence applications submitted and the use of the licences issued; whereas, in the interests of administrative efficiency, the use of a single model for communications between the Member States and the Commission should be provided for;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
This Regulation lays down detailed rules for the import from third countries of grape juice and must falling within CN code 2009 60 with exemption from the specific duty per hectolitre referred to in Part 3, Section 1, Annex 2 of Annex I to the Customs Tariff of the European Communities.

2. Export licences shall be issued on the Monday following the Tuesday referred to in paragraph 1, or the next working day, provided that the Commission has not adopted special measures in the meantime.
3. Where the quantities for which licence applications have been made, as notified to the Commission on the day laid down in Article 7, exceed the quantities still available of the total quantity referred to in Article 2, the Commission shall set a single percentage for the acceptance of the applications in question and suspend the submission of licence applications.
4. Where the quantity applied for is reduced or rejected, the security referred to in Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3388/81 relating to the quantity refused shall be immediately released.
5. Notwithstanding paragraph 2, in the event that a single acceptance percentage of less than 85 % is set, licences shall be issued by the fifth working day at the latest following publication of that percentage in the Official Journal of the European Communities. Prior to issue the exporter may:
- either withdraw his application in which case the security referred to in Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3388/81 shall be immediately released,
- or request the immediate issue of the licence, in which case the competent authority shall issue it without delay but no later than the fifth working day following publication of that percentage in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

of 15 April 2005
amending Regulation (EC) No 1002/2004 accepting undertakings offered in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of potassium chloride originating in the Republic of Belarus, the Russian Federation or Ukraine
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 member of the European Communities (1) (the basic Regulation) and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 992/2004 (2) of 17 May 2004 amending Regulation (EEC) No 3068/92 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of potassium chloride originating in Belarus, Russia or Ukraine and in particular Article 1 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
(1) The Council, by Regulation (EEC) No 3068/92 (3), imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of potassium chloride originating, inter alia, in the Russian Federation (‘Russia’). By Regulation (EC) No 969/2000 (4), the Council amended and extended the period of application of the measures originally imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 3068/92 on imports of potassium chloride originating, inter alia, in Russia.
(2) In March 2004, by means of a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union
(5), the Commission launched, on its own initiative, a partial interim review of the measures in force on imports of potassium chloride from, inter alia, Russia to examine whether they should be amended to take account of the enlargement of the European Union to 25 Member States (Enlargement).
(3) The results of that partial interim review showed that it was in the interests of the Community to provide for the temporary adaptation of the measures so as to avoid a sudden and excessively negative economic impact on importers and users in the 10 new Member States (EU10) immediately following Enlargement.
(4) The Council, by Regulation (EC) No 992/2004, authorised the Commission to accept undertaking offers respecting the conditions set out in recitals 27 to 32 of the same Regulation. On this basis, and pursuant to Articles 8, 11(3), 21 and 22(c) of the basic Regulation, the Commission, by Regulation (EC) No 1002/2004 (6), accepted undertaking offers from two exporting producers in Russia.
(5) In the case of one exporting producer, the Commission accepted a joint undertaking for imports of potassium chloride produced by JSC Uralkali, Berezniki, Russia and sold by a trading company, Fertexim Ltd, Limassol, Cyprus which acted as the exclusive distributor for JSC Uralkali’s sales to the Community.
(6) JSC Uralkali has informed the Commission that it would, henceforth, sell to the Community through a different company called Uralkali Trading SA, Geneva, Switzerland. To take account of this change, JSC Uralkali and Fertexim Ltd requested that the relevant provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1002/2004 accepting the joint undertaking be amended. To this end, JSC Uralkali and Uralkali Trading SA have jointly offered a revised undertaking.
(7) JSC Uralkali has also pointed out that the undertaking accepted by Regulation (EC) No 1002/2004 did not allow for direct sales from JSC Uralkali to the first independent customer in the Community. By the revised undertaking, JSC Uralkali also undertakes to respect the terms thereof for direct sales to the Community.
(8) The Commission has examined the undertaking offer. It was concluded that the revised undertaking fulfilled all the necessary criteria for acceptance laid down in Regulation (EC) No 992/2004, namely that: (i) the sales prices of the companies concerned would be at levels which significantly contribute to the elimination of injury; (ii) the companies would observe certain import volumes for sales to customers in the EU10; and (iii) they would also broadly respect their traditional selling patterns to individual customers in the EU10. It was also considered, as had been argued by JSC Uralkali, that the transfer of the trading activities of Fertexim Ltd to Uralkali Trading SA did not affect the workability of the undertaking nor, on the basis of information provided by the companies, its effective monitoring.
(9) Furthermore, the request for exemption of JSC Uralkali’s direct sales to the Community from the anti-dumping duties was considered to be acceptable as it is in line with normal practice to accept appropriate undertaking offers from producers which export directly to the Community.
(10) In light of the above, it was considered appropriate to amend the operative part of Regulation (EC) No 1002/2004 accordingly,
Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1002/2004 shall be amended as follows:
‘Article 1
The undertakings offered by the exporting producers mentioned below, in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of potassium chloride originating in the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation are hereby accepted.
Country Company TARIC additional code
Republic of Belarus Produced by Republican Unitary Enterprise Production Amalgamation Belaruskali, Soligorsk, Belarus and sold by JSC International Potash Company, Moscow, Russia, or Belurs Handelsgesellschaft mbH, Vienna, Austria, or UAB Baltkalis, Vilnius, Lithuania, to the first independent customer in the Community acting as an importer A518

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds(1), and in particular Article 15(5) thereof,
After consultation of the Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions and the Committee pursuant to Article 147 of the Treaty,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 et seq. of Title II of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 lay down the procedure for preparing and implementing single programming documents.
(2) 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 the Regulation, the Commission shall 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 United Kingdom Government submitted to the Commission on 14 April 2000 an acceptable draft single programming document for the South West of England region fulfilling the conditions for Objective 2 pursuant to Article 4(1) and qualifying for transitional support pursuant to Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. The draft contains the information listed in Article 16 of the Regulation, and in particular a description of the priorities selected and an indication of the financial contribution from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the European Social Fund (ESF), the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the other financial instruments proposed for implementing the plan.
(5) Under Article 52(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, as an acceptable plan was submitted between 1 January and 30 April 2000, the date from which expenditure under the plan is eligible shall be 1 January 2000. Under Article 30 of the Regulation, it is necessary to lay down the final date for the eligibility of expenditure.
(6) The single programming document has been drawn up in agreement with the Member State concerned and within the partnership.
(7) The Commission has satisfied itself that the single programming document is in accordance with the principle of additionality.
(8) Under Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Commission and the Member State are required to ensure, in a manner consistent with the principle of partnership, coordination between assistance from the Funds and from the EIB and other existing financial instruments.
(9) The EIB has been involved in drawing up the single programming document in accordance with the provisions of Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 and has declared itself prepared to contribute to its implementation in conformity with its statutory provisions.
(10) The financial contribution from the Community available over the entire period and its year-by-year breakdown are expressed in euro. The annual breakdown must be consistent with the relevant financial perspective. Under Article 7(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Community contribution has already been indexed at a rate of 2 % per year. Under 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.
(11) Provision must be made for adapting the financial allocations of the priorities of this single programming document within certain limits to actual requirements reflected by the pattern of implementation on the ground, in agreement with the Member State concerned,
The single programming document for Community structural assistance under Objective 2 in the South West of England region of the United Kingdom for the period 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2005 for transitional areas and 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2006 for fully eligible areas is hereby approved.
1. In accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the single programming document includes the following elements:
(a) the strategy and priorities for the joint action of the Community Structural Funds and the Member State; their specific quantified targets; the ex ante evaluation of the expected impact, including on the environmental situation, and the consistency of the priorities with the economic, social and regional policies and the employment strategy of the United Kingdom.
The priorities are as follows:
- neighbourhood renewal,
- SME development, technology and innovation,
- a better future for traditional economies,
- 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 the ERDF, the ESF, the EIB and the other financial instruments and indicating separately the funding planned for the regions receiving transitional support and the total amounts of eligible public or equivalent expenditure and estimated private funding in the Member State. The total contribution from the ERDF and ESF planned for each year for the single programming document is consistent with the relevant financial perspectives;
(d) the provisions for implementing the single programming document including designation of the managing authority, a description of the arrangements for managing the single programming document and the use to be made of global grants, a description of the systems for monitoring and evaluation, including the role of the Monitoring Committee and the arrangements for the participation of the partners in that Committee;
(e) the ex ante verification of compliance with additionality and information on the transparency of financial flows;
(f) information on the resources required for preparing, monitoring and evaluating the assistance.
2. The indicative financing plan puts the total cost of the priorities selected for the joint action by the Community and the Member State at EUR 445320000 for the whole period and the financial contribution from the Structural Funds at EUR 189720000.
The resulting requirement for national resources of EUR 211600000 from the public sector and EUR 44000000 from the private sector can be partly met by Community loans from the EIB and other lending instruments.
1. The total assistance from the Structural Funds granted under the single programming document amounts to EUR 189720000. The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds for the various priorities included in the single programming document, is set out in the financing plan annexed to this Decision.
2.
>TABLE>
3. During implementation of the financing plan, the total cost or Community financing of a given priority can be adjusted in agreement with the Member State by up to 25 % of the total Community contribution to the single programming document throughout the programme period or by up to EUR 30 million, whichever is the greater, without altering the total Community contribution referred to in paragraph 1.
This Decision is without prejudice to the Commission's position on aid schemes falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty that are included in this assistance and which have not yet been approved by the Commission. Submission of the application for assistance, the programming complement or a request for payment by the Member State does not replace the notification required by Article 88(3) of the Treaty.
Community financing of State aid falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, requires prior approval by the Commission under Article 88 of the Treaty, except where the aid falls within the de minimis rule or is exempted under an exemption regulation adopted by the Commission under Council Regulation (EC) No 994/98 of 7 May 1998 on the application of Articles 87 and 88 to certain categories of horizontal 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 co-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 Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 for measures being co-financed with new or altered aid, as defined in the procedural regulation for State aid, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, until such aid has been notified to and formally approved by the Commission.
The date from which expenditure shall be eligible is 1 January 2000. The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure shall be 31 December 2007 for transitional areas and 31 December 2008 for fully eligible areas. This date is extended to 30 April 2008 for expenditure incurred by bodies granting assistance under Article 9(l) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 in transitional areas and to 30 April 2009 for such bodies in fully eligible areas.

(2003/190/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/396/EEC of 29 June 1990 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to appliances burning gaseous fuels(1), as amended by Directive 93/68/EEC(2), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the Standing Committee set up in accordance with Article 5 of Directive 98/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 June 1998 laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations and of rules on information Society Services(3), as amended by Directive 98/48/EC(4),
Whereas:
(1) Article 2 of Directive 90/396/EEC provides that gas appliances may be placed on the market and put into service only if, when normally used, they do not compromise the safety of persons, domestic animals and property.
(2) Under Article 5 of Directive 90/396/EEC, gas appliances are presumed to comply with the essential requirements referred to in Article 3 of that Directive if they conform to the national standards applicable to them, transposing the harmonised standards, the reference numbers of which have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(3) Member States are required to publish the reference numbers of national standards transposing harmonised standards, the reference numbers of which have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(4) The Netherlands raised a formal objection in respect of point 5.7.2.1 "appliances fitted to pierceable cartridges" of standard EN 521:1998 "Specifications for dedicated liquefied petroleum gas appliances - Portable vapour pressure liquefied petroleum gas appliances", adopted by the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) on 21 May 1997, the reference number of which was published in the Official Journal of the European Communities on 25 July 1998(5), on the grounds that it does not fully satisfy the essential requirements of Directive 90/396/EEC.
(5) According to the Dutch authorities, portable (camping) gas appliances fuelled by liquid petroleum gas (LPG) with the LPG fed to the burner from a pierceable cartridge may, if the cartridge is replaced in a way which does not comply with the instructions for use, become unsafe, thus possibly resulting in gas leaks and serious burns. They claim that such behaviour should be foreseen since, as these applicances are typically used in particular conditions such as on campsites and in tents for short periods of the year, not all users systematically read the instructions for use nor is there enough light to read them, so that there is de facto a risk that the user will not insert the cartridge properly.
(6) Under Directive 90/396/EEC all appliances must be accompanied by instructions for use and servicing intended for the user, containing all the information required for safe use. This implies that a prerequisite for the safe functioning of appliances complying with the Directive is that users follow those instructions.
(7) Although the problem raised by the Dutch authorities stems mainly from users' behaviour, the CEN should nevertheless, in the light of the evolution of the users' behaviour and taking into account the particular conditions in which this kind of appliance is likely to be used, examine the possibility of improving the intrinsic level of safety in relation to the replacement of gas cartridges.
(8) For this purpose, the Commission will request CEN to present, within two years, a revised version of EN 521:1998. Following the implementation of this mandate and depending on its results, possible further decisions concerning the current version of the standard could be envisaged.
(9) As regards the request that the presumption of conformity is withdrawn, account should be taken of the fact that, according to the information received, pierceable gas cartridges have been in widespread use for more than 30 years, with about 50 million sold each year throughout the Community and that the number of accidents that occur in comparison with the number of units in use is extremely low.
(10) Furthermore, it should be taken into account that portable (camping) gas appliances necessarily present an elevated risk in all circumstances, due to the characteristics of the technique used (open flame, hot surface etc.), so that the risks referred to in the formal objection exist in all cases where consumers' behaviour does not comply with the instructions for use.
(11) It must therefore be concluded, on the basis of EN 521:1998 as well as the information submitted by the Netherlands, by the other national authorities, by CEN and by the industry, and after consulting the Gas Appliances Expert Group and the Committee set up by Directive 98/34/EC, that it would not be consistent with the principle of proportionality and thus justified to withdraw the presumption of conformity of point 5.7.2.1 of EN 521:1998,
The reference of standard EN 521:1998 "Specifications for dedicated liquefied petroleum gas appliances - Portable vapour pressure liquefied petroleum gas appliances", adopted by the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) on 21 May 1997 and published for the first time in the Official Journal of the European Communities of 25 July 1998, shall not be withdrawn from the list of standards published in the Official Journal of the European Union. The standard shall therefore continue to confer the presumption of conformity to the relevant provisions of Directive 90/396/EEC.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.
(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of selenomethionine produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCYC R645. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) That application concerns the authorisation of a preparation of selenomethionine, an organic compound of selenium, as a feed additive for all animal species, to be classified in the additive category ‘nutritional additives’.
(4) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 3 July 2014 (2) that, under the proposed conditions of use, selenomethionine produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCYC R645 does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment and that its use may be considered as an efficient source of selenium for all animal species. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5) The assessment of selenomethionine produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCYC R645 shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(6) The Authority concluded that the limitation of the supplementation with organic selenium established for other organic compounds of selenium should also apply to selenomethionine produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCYC R645. Furthermore, in case different compounds of selenium are added to the feed, the supplementation with organic selenium should not exceed 0,2 mg per kg complete feed.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘nutritional additives’ and to the functional group ‘compounds of trace elements’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 118 (3) (a) and 304 (3) (a) thereof,
Whereas Articles 118 (3) (a) and 304 (3) (a) of the Act of Accession provide that under specific circumstances a compensatory amount, at the most equal to the difference between the aids fixed for Spain and Portugal and that which would have been derived from the fixed Community aid, shall be applied; whereas to ensure normal conditions of competition between the industries in the new Member States and those of the other Member States such amounts should be fixed for the marketing year 1986/87;
Whereas the compensatory amount is intended to ensure that the price difference between products processed in the Community as constituted on 31 December 1986 and those processed in Spain and Portugal should be compensated in so far as that difference is a result of the production aid system; whereas, however, as regards tomato concentrate, on account of the particular situation on the market in the new Member States, the compensatory amount should only partly compensate that difference; whereas the compensatory amount should in no case exceed the amount of production aid payable in Spain or Portugal;
Whereas the compensatory amount should only be applied to products which have benefited or which will benefit from Community production aid in Spain or Portugal; whereas to that end monitoring procedures are necessary; whereas the agency referred to in Article 11 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1599/84 of 5 June 1984 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of production aid for products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1155/86 (2), should be involved in these procedures;
Whereas communication of information between the Spanish and Portuguese authorities, on the one hand, and the authorities of the other Member States, on the other hand, is necessary for the correct application of the compensatory amounts; whereas the community transit document as provided for in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 223/77 of 22 December 1976 on provisions for the implementation of the Community transit procedure and for certain simplifications of that procedure (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3399/85 (4), is an appropriate document for that purpose; whereas products circulating within the Community and for which the compensatory amount must be paid in the event of export to non-member countries may only leave the Community if the compensatory amount is paid; whereas the measures provided for in Title III of Regulation (EEC) No 223/77 should apply to ensure that the system is observed;
Whereas the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 548/86 of 27 February 1986 laying down detailed rules for the application of accession compensatory amounts (5) are applicable to the compensatory amounts provided for in the present Regulation;
Whereas the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
1. The compensatory amounts applicable until 30 June 1987 for tomato based products shall be as set out in the Annex.
2. The compensatory amounts shall be:
(a) charged on import into the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985, hereinafter referred to as the 'Community of Ten', of products coming from Spain or Portugal and on export to non-member countries from Spain or Portugal;
(b) granted on export from the Community of Ten to Spain or Portugal.
1. Compensatory amounts shall be granted on export to Spain or Portugal of products produced during the 1986/87 marketing year within the Community of Ten and on re-export to Spain or Portugal of products produced in Spain or Portugal which have been entered for home use in the Community of Ten and at that moment have been charged a compensatory amount.
2. Compensatory amounts shall be charged on export to non-member countries from Spain and Portugal of products complying with the terms of Article 9 (2) of the Treaty. However, if the products have not and will not benefit from Community aid and this is proved as provided for in this Regulation, no compensatory amount shall be charged.
1. The proof referred to in Article 2 (2) shall consist of a declaration from the exporter in which he declares that the products to be exported have not obtained and will not obtain Community production aid. This declaration shall be endorsed by the agency referred to in Article 11 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1599/84 and that agency shall keep a copy of the declaration.
2. The declaration referred to in paragraph 1 shall contain at least the following particulars:
(a) the name and address of the exporter;
(b) the name and address of the producer;
(c) a detailed description of the product;
(d) the marks and numbers and the number and kind of packages;
(e) the gross and net weight of the products;
(f) the production year;
(g) the customs office where the customs export formalities are to be completed.
3. Member States may adopt additional provisions for the application of this Article, they may in particular prescribe a special form to be used.
1. The original of the endorsed declaration referred to in Article 3 shall be lodged with the customs office in Spain or Portugal together with the customs export declaration and be kept by that office.
2. Where the products covered by the declaration referred to in paragraph 1 are to be exported to another Member State the Community transit document T2 ES or T2 PT or the document having equivalent effect shall bear, in the box provided for the description of the goods, one of the following endorsements:

31990D0141 | 90/141/EEC: Council Decision of 12 March 1990 on the attainment of progressive convergence of economic policies and performance during stage one of economic and monetary union
| COUNCIL DECISION
of 12 March 1990
on the attainment of progressive convergence of economic policies and performance during stage one of economic and monetary union
(90/141/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 103 and 145 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas the European Council, at its meeting in Madrid in June 1989, restated 'its determination to achieve progressively economic and monetary union as provided for in the Single Act'; whereas it decided that 'the first stage of the realization of economic and monetary union would begin on 1 July 1990'; whereas it stated that 'economic and monetary union must be seen in the perspective of the completion of the internal market and in the context of economic and social cohesion', and that 'its realization would have to take account of the parallelism between economic and monetary aspects, respect the principle of "subsidiarity" and allow for the diversity of specific situations';
Whereas progress towards economic and monetary union requires a high degree of convergence of economic performances between Member States through greater compatibility and closer coordination of economic policies; whereas such strengthening of economic policy coordination also contributes to the achievement of Community objectives, in particular to convergence at a high level of economic performance in the framework of monetary stability;
Whereas the achievement of the goals of the Single European Act, more especially the completion of the internal market, will require more effective policy coordination to the extent that it will increase the degree of economic and financial integration and reinforce competition and structural change and thus amplify the cross-border effects of economic policies;
Whereas pursuant to Article 102a of the Treaty, Member States are to take account of the experience acquired in cooperation within the framework of the European Monetary System and in developing the ecu and shall respect existing powers in this field; whereas the first stage of economic and monetary union should provide a sound basis for successful further development and sustainability;
Whereas the strengthening of coordination should rely on the political will to develop further the consensus on the broad economic policy approach; whereas progress in this coordination process calls for flexibility, subsidiarity and precise and appropriate commitments in decision-making as well as for learning by doing;
Whereas Council Decision 74/120/EEC of 18 February 1974 on the attainment of a high degree of convergence of the economic policies of the Member States of the European Economic Community (3) and Council Directive 74/121/EEC of 18 February 1974 on stability, growth and full employment in the Community (4) shall be repealed,
In order to help to achieve sustained non-inflationary growth in the Community, together with a high level of employment and the degree of economic convergence necessary for the success of stage one of economic and monetary union, in the perspective of the completion of the internal market and in the context of the economic and social cohesion, the Council shall undertake multilateral surveillance. In this context it shall apply the following principles; price stability, sound public finances and monetary conditions, sound overall balances of payments and open, competitive markets. It shall examine at least twice a year:
- the economic conditions, prospects and policies in the Community and its Member States,
- the compatibility of policies within Member States and in the Community at large,
- the external economic environment and its interaction with the economy of the Community.
Multilateral surveillance shall cover all aspects of economic policy in both the short- and medium-term perspectives.
The Council shall undertake multilateral surveillance in restricted sessions. It may authorize its President to make public the results of its deliberations.
Through learning by doing, multilateral surveillance should increasingly result in compatible policies, with precise and appropriate commitments by the Member States. In this context, the Council may make economic policy suggestions and upon a proposal of the Commission, issue economic policy recommendations.
Multilateral surveillance shall focus on macroeconomic, microeconomic and structural policies; this surveillance will be conducted by the Council on the basis of reports and analyses submitted by the Commission. These shall include:
- indicators of economic performance and economic policies including monetary and budgetary policies, such as supply and demand trends, price and cost developments, employment, regional development, financial markets, public finance, monetary aggregates, interest rates, exchange rates and external imbalances,
- regular reports on national economic conditions, prospects and policies,
- periodic assessments of the economic situation of the Community and an annual report to review the economic outlook, the underlying economic policy orientations in the medium term and their interactions.
A review of budgetary policies will take place possibly ahead of national budgetary planning, and will focus particularly on the size and financing of budget deficits, as well as the medium-term orientation of budgetary policy, the aim being to reduce excessively high deficits and avoid monetary financing.
The Council's work on multilateral surveillance shall be prepared by the Monetary Committee, which for such purposes shall include, as experts, a representative of each Member State and of the Commission on the Economic Policy Committee. The chairmen of the Monetary Committee and the Economic Policy Committee shall attend the Council meetings at which surveillance is carried out.
On a proposal from the Commission the annual economic report shall be adopted by the Council, after consulting the European Parliament and the Economic and Social Committee.
When potential or actual economic developments in one or more Member States threaten the economic stability and cohesion of the Community, the Council shall undertake an examination of the economic situation. Such examination may result in the formulation of country-specific recommendations with a view to encouraging the necessary policy corrections.
When events outside the Community threaten the economic stability and cohesion of the Community, consultation shall take place in the appropriate Community bodies to consider possible measures.
In order to promote consistency between monetary and other economic policies, the chairman of the Committee of Governors of the Central Banks of the Member States of the European Community shall be invited to participate in the relevant Council meetings.
The President of the Council and the Commission shall report regularly on the results of multilateral surveillance to the European Council and the European Parliament. Furthermore, the President of the Council may be invited to appear before the competent Committee of the European Parliament when the Council has made political recommendations.
Governments shall bring the results of the multilateral surveillance to the attention of their national parliaments so that it can be taken into account in national policy making.
On the basis of reports submitted by the Commission, and after consultation of the Monetary Committee, the Council shall periodically examine the progress made in multilateral surveillance through the application of this Decision. This report shall also be transmitted to the European Parliament.

(5) In order to allow the import duty system to function normally, the representative market rates recorded during a reference period should be used for calculating the duties.
(6) Application of Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 results in import duties being fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation,
The import duties in the cereals sector referred to in Article 10(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 shall be those fixed in Annex I to this Regulation on the basis of the information given in Annex II.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 16 April 2002.
