(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 July 2002 on the application of international accounting standards (1), and in particular Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Commission Regulation (EC) No 1725/2003 of 29 September 2003 (2) certain international standards and interpretations that existed on 14 September 2002 were adopted.
(2) On 13 October 2008, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) adopted amendments to international accounting standard (IAS) 39 financial instruments: recognition and measurement and international financial reporting standard (IFRS) 7 financial instruments: disclosures, hereinafter ‘amendments to IAS 39 and IFRS 7’. The amendments to IAS 39 and IFRS 7 allow the reclassification of certain financial instruments out of the category ‘held-for-trading’ in rare circumstances. The current financial crisis is considered to be such a rare circumstance which would justify the use of this possibility by companies.
(3) In accordance with the amendments to IAS 39 and IFRS 7, companies should be allowed to reclassify certain financial instruments as from 1 July 2008.
(4) The consultation with the Technical Expert Group (TEG) of the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) confirms that the amendments to IAS 39 and IFRS 7 meet the technical criteria for adoption set out in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002. In accordance with Commission Decision 2006/505/EC of 14 July 2006 setting up a Standards Advice Review Group to advise the Commission on the objectivity and neutrality of the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group’s (EFRAG’s) opinions (3), the Standards Advice Review Group considered EFRAG’s opinion on endorsement and advised the European Commission that it is well-balanced and objective.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 1725/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) Considering the context of the current financial turmoil and the fact that certain financial instruments are no longer traded or related markets have become inactive or distressed, there is a need to give immediate effect to the amendments allowing for reclassification of certain financial instruments and this Regulation consequently should enter into force as a matter of urgency.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Accounting Regulatory Committee,
In the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1725/2003, international accounting standard (IAS) 39 financial instruments: recognition and measurement and international financial reporting standard (IFRS) 7 financial instruments: disclosures are amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
31982D0459 | 82/459/EEC: Council Decision of 24 June 1982 establishing a reciprocal exchange of information and data from networks and individual stations measuring air pollution within the Member States
| COUNCIL DECISION of 24 June 1982 establishing a reciprocal exchange of information and data from networks and individual stations measuring air pollution within the Member States (82/459/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 235 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas the first and second action programmes of the European Communities on the environment (3) make provision for the establishment of a procedure for the exchange of information between surveillance and monitoring networks;
Whereas this procedure is necessary to combat pollution and nuisances, this being one of the Community objectives concerning the improvement of the quality of life and the harmonious development of economic activities throughout the Community ; whereas the specific powers necessary to this end are not provided by the Treaty;
Whereas by Council Decision 75/441/EEC (4) the Council established a common procedure for the exchange of information between the surveillance and monitoring networks based on data relating to atmospheric pollution by sulphur compounds and suspended particulates ; whereas this procedure, amongst other things, has served as a pilot study for the elaboration of a system to answer the specific needs of the Community;
Whereas the accumulated experience of the pilot study is employed to establish a more complete exchange of information and data incorporating additional air pollutants, thus stimulating and enhancing progress towards the harmonization of the measurement methods;
Whereas the Commission will examine, in consultation with Member States, the need for, and scope of, all intercomparison programmes to be proposed by it ; whereas such programmes may cover different equipment, methods of sampling and analysis as well as reference materials commonly used for the relevant pollutants so that the comparability of the data obtained by different stations and methods may be improved;
Whereas the use of homogeneous time-scales for the data collection and homogeneous presentation of results will facilitate the comparison of the levels recorded for each pollutant;
Whereas the exchange of the results of the pollution-level measurements provides one way of keeping abreast of long-term trends and improvements resulting from existing and future national or Community legislation;
Whereas such results constitute information relevant to determining the locations of epidemiological surveys destined to provide a better understanding of the harmful effects of air pollution on human health;
Whereas the transport of pollutants over long distances necessitates surveillance at regional, national, Community and global levels; (1) OJ No C 125, 17.5.1982, p. 165. (2) OJ No C 64, 15.3.1982, p. 15. (3) OJ No C 112, 29.12.1973, p. 3 and OJ No C 139, 13.6.1977, p. 3. (4) OJ No L 194, 25.7.1975, p. 40.
Whereas certain information and data constitute an input to the Global Environmental Monitoring System (GEMS) which is part of the United Nations Environmental Programme,
A reciprocal exchange of information and data from networks and individual stations measuring air pollution, hereinafter referred to as "reciprocal exchange", is hereby established. It shall apply to the individual results of measurements obtained by fixed stations which have been operating, or are planned to operate, continuously over a sufficiently representative period of time.
1. This Decision relates to the following pollutants to the extent that they are measured at stations in the Member States: (a) sulphur compounds measured as: - sulphur dioxide, or
- strong acidity, expressed in accordance with Annex I, paragraph 1;
(b) suspended particulates, expressed in accordance with Annex I, paragraph 1, measured as: - suspended particulate matter, or
- black smoke;
(c) suspended particulates of heavy metals, e.g. lead, cadmium, etc.,
(d) nitrogen oxides measured as: - nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and
- either total oxides of nitrogen (NOx)
- or nitrogen monoxide (NO);
(e) carbon monoxide;
(f) ozone.
2. The first data to be communicated shall be: - for the pollutants in paragraph 1 (a) and (b) : those obtained from 1 January 1979 in order to maintain continuity with the data collected previously,
- for the pollutants in paragraph 1 (c) and (d) : those obtained from 1 October 1980,
- for the pollutants in paragraph 1 (e) and (f) : those obtained from 1 October 1982.
3. Member States may include other pollutants after technical discussions with the Commission.
Each Member State shall designate a National Coordinator and inform the Commission of the name of the person, or body, responsible for the selection of stations, the collection and transmission of information and data relating to the stations and pollutants as well as for liaison with the Commission in all related aspects. Until the Commission is advised otherwise, the person or body designated by each Member State under Article 4 (1) of Decision 75/441/EEC shall be deemed to be the National Coordinator.
1. The stations participating in the exchange of information procedure laid down in Decision 75/441/EEC shall be included in the system of reciprocal exchange. Member States shall select from the available stations those which may be added to this system and shall notify the Commission of their choice. Each station selected shall be representative, as far as possible, of the conditions obtaining around that sampling point for the pollutant being considered.
2. In selecting stations, priority shall be given to those which utilize more than one sampling or analytical technique to measure a given pollutant so as to assist in the assessment of appropriate techniques and the comparability between them.
3. The stations selected should reflect, where possible, the different types of urbanization, topography and climatology, as well as the different pollution levels prevailing upon the territory of the Member State concerned.
4. Where a station selected under Decision 75/441/EEC has ceased, or ceases, to operate, the Member State concerned shall endeavour to select another suitable station and shall, if they are available, provide the relevant data for at least the two preceding years.
5. All stations and pollutants which are added under this system of reciprocal exchange, all changes in the measurement techniques utilized and all other relevant changes shall be communicated to the Commission by means of the Description Form contained in Annex II.
1. The measurement results for each pollutant shall be expressed in accordance with Annex I and shall be transmitted to the Commission in a fixed and previously agreed format as quickly as possible and, at the latest, within six months of the end of the annual measurement period.
2. The Commission shall insert all information and data received by Member States in the computer files and shall prepare tabular presentations for the use of the Member State concerned, if so requested.
3. The data should normally be transmitted on magnetic tape, accompanied by an interpretative print-out which contains tape density, code, tape labels, headers, trailers and a few blocks of data. In this case, the data accepted into the computer files of the Commission will be considered as correct.
Data which are transmitted on forms and then accepted into the computer files shall be considered as provisional until the Member State concerned notifies the Commission that these data are correct.
1. Member States shall endeavour to: - inform the Commission of any known programmes or studies on the intercomparison of equipment, measurement methods or reference materials which are planned or being conducted on their territory,
- make available to the Commission sufficient numbers of any relevant reports relating to such programmes or studies,
- suggest any laboratories with the requisite experience or facilities to participate in intercomparison programmes.
The Commission shall distribute such information to all Member States.
2. On the basis of the information referred to in paragraph 1 and all other relevant information, the Commission shall examine, in consultation with the Member States, the need for and scope of all intercomparison programmes to be proposed by it. Such programmes, which are designed with a view to improving the comparability of data, may include, as appropriate, equipment and methods of sampling and analysis as well as the reference materials which are used for the relevant pollutants.
The Commission shall prepare annual reports on the operation of this reciprocal exchange, in an appropriate presentation, defined in consultation with the National Coordinators, on the basis of the data referred to herein and all other relevant information made available to it. These reports shall be distributed to the Member States and then published by the Commission.
Decision 75/441/EEC shall be repealed as from 1 October 1982.
This Decision shall apply from 1 October 1982.
It shall cease to apply at the end of seven years from the date of notification unless the Council, on a proposal from the Commission, decides otherwise.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 76/768/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to cosmetic products (1), and in particular Article 8(2) thereof,
After consulting the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety,
Whereas:
(1) Following the publication of a scientific study in 2001, entitled ‘Use of permanent hair dyes and bladder cancer risk’, the Scientific Committee on Cosmetic Products and Non-Food Products intended for Consumers, currently the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (hereinafter SCCS) (2), concluded that the potential risks were of concern. It recommended that the Commission take further steps to control the use of hair dye substances.
(2) The SCCS further recommended an overall safety assessment strategy for hair dye substances including the requirements for testing substances used in hair dye products for their potential genotoxicity/mutagenicity.
(3) Following the opinions of the SCCS, the Commission, together with Member States and stakeholders, agreed on an overall strategy to regulate substances used in hair dye products, according to which the industry was required to submit files containing the scientific data on hair dye substances to be evaluated by the SCCS.
(4) Substances p-Phenylenediamine (PPD) and toluene-2,5-diamine (PTD) are currently regulated under generic entries 8 and 9 in part 1 of Annex III to Council Directive 76/768/EEC. The SCCS classified these substances as extreme sensitisers contributing to a great extent to the incidence of skin allergies among consumers to hair dye products. The risk assessment of the submitted additional data on PPD and PTD, and final decisions made by the SCCS on the safety of these substances might still require a considerable amount of time. As a precautionary measure to reduce the risk of allergies to hair dye products among consumers, the maximum authorised concentrations of PPD and PTD should be immediately decreased to the levels for which the industry submitted the safety files.
(5) Since substances PPD and PTD are currently regulated under generic entries in part 1 of Annex III separate reference numbers should be created for these substances with decreased maximum authorised concentrations.
(6) Commission Directive 2008/88/EC (3) banned the use of hydroquinone in oxidative hair dye products by deleting the respective field of application in column ‘c’ of reference number 14 in Annex III, part 1. For the sake of clarity, the authorised concentration of 0,3 % in column ‘d’ and the conditions of use and warnings which must be printed on the label listed in paragraph (a) in column ‘f’ of reference number 14 should be deleted as well.
(7) Directive 76/768/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Cosmetic Products,
Annex III to Directive 76/768/EEC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.
1. Member States shall adopt and publish, by 15 April 2010 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions.
They shall apply the provisions set out in the Annex to this Directive from 15 July 2010.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

(1) Article 13(8) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides that the export refund applicable to cereals on the day on which application for an export licence is made must be applied on request to exports to be effected during the period of validity of the export licence. In this case, a corrective amount may be applied to the refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down certain detailed rules under Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 on the granting of export refunds on cereals and the cereals and the measures to be taken in the event of disturbance on the market for cereals(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1163/2002(4), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1324/2002(5), allows for the fixing of a corrective amount for the products listed in Article 1(1)(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92. That corrective amount must be calculated taking account of the factors referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95.
(3) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the corrective amount according to destination.
(4) The corrective amount must be fixed at the same time as the refund and according to the same procedure; it may be altered in the period between fixings.
(5) It follows from applying the provisions set out above that the corrective amount must be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The corrective amount referred to in Article 1(1)(a), (b) and (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 which is applicable to export refunds fixed in advance except for malt shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.

COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 18 January 2011
amending Decision 2007/884/EC authorising the United Kingdom to continue to apply a measure derogating from Articles 26(1)(a), 168 and 169 of Directive 2006/112/EC on the common system of value added tax
(2011/37/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (1), and in particular Article 395(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) In a letter registered by the Commission’s Secretariat-General on 22 July 2010, the United Kingdom requested authorisation to extend a derogating measure in order to continue to restrict the right of deduction of VAT by the hirer or lessee on charges for the hire or lease of a passenger car where the car is not used entirely for business purposes.
(2) The Commission informed the other Member States of the request made by the United Kingdom by letter dated 12 October 2010. By letter dated 15 October 2010, the Commission notified the United Kingdom that it had all the information necessary to consider the request.
(3) Council Decision 2007/884/EC of 20 December 2007 authorising the United Kingdom to continue to apply a measure derogating from Articles 26(1)(a), 168 and 169 of Directive 2006/112/EC on the common system of value added tax (2), authorised the United Kingdom to restrict to 50 % the right of the hirer or lessee to deduct input VAT on charges for the hire or lease of a passenger car where the car is not used entirely for business purposes. The United Kingdom was also allowed not to treat as supplies of services for consideration the private use of a car hired or leased by a taxable person for his business purposes. This simplification measure removed the need for the hirer or the lessee to keep records of private mileage travelled in business cars and to account for tax on the actual private mileage of each car.
(4) According to the information provided by the United Kingdom, the restriction to 50 % still corresponds to the actual circumstances as regards the business and the non-business use by the hirer or lessee of the vehicles concerned. It is therefore appropriate that the United Kingdom be authorised to apply the measure for a further limited period, until 31 December 2013.
(5) Where the United Kingdom considers a further extension beyond 2013 is necessary, a report which includes a review of the percentage applied should be submitted to the Commission together with the extension request no later than 1 April 2013.
(6) On 29 October 2004, the Commission adopted a proposal for a Council Directive amending Directive 77/388/EEC, now Directive 2006/112/EC, that includes the harmonisation of the categories of expenses for which exclusions of the right of deduction may apply. Under this proposal, exclusions on the right to deduct may be applied to motorised road vehicles. The derogating measures provided for in this Decision should expire on the date of the entry into force of such amending Directive, if that date is earlier than the date of expiry provided for in this Decision.
(7) The derogation has no impact on the Union’s own resources accruing from value added tax.
(8) Decision 2007/884/EC should therefore be amended accordingly,
Article 3 of Decision 2007/884/EC is replaced by the following:
‘Article 3
This Decision shall expire on the date of entry into force of Union rules determining the expenditure relating to motorised road vehicles that is not eligible for full deduction of VAT, or on 31 December 2013, whichever is the earlier.
Any request for the extension of the measures provided for in this Decision shall be submitted to the Commission by 1 April 2013.
Any request for extension of those measures shall be accompanied by a report which includes a review of the percentage restriction applied on the right to deduct VAT on the hire or lease of cars not entirely used for business purposes.’.
This Decision shall take effect on the day of its notification.
This Decision shall apply as from 1 January 2011.
This Decision is addressed to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

on the composition and the statutes of the Economic Policy Committee
(2000/604/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community and in particular Article 209 thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The Economic Policy Committee (hereinafter "the Committee") was set up by Council Decision 74/122/EEC(1).
(2) The Committee has exercised all the functions hitherto assigned to the Short-term Economic Policy Committee set up by Council Decision of 9 March 1960 on coordination of the conjunctural policies of the Member States(2), the Budgetary Policy Committee set up by Council Decision of 8 May 1964 on cooperation between the competent government departments of Member States in the field of budgetary policy(3), and the Medium-term Economic Policy Committee set up by Council Decision of 15 April 1964 setting up a Medium-term Economic Policy Committee(4).
(3) The Committee is provided for in Article 272 of the Treaty.
(4) The statutes of the Committee should reflect the new institutional environment created by entry into the third stage of economic and monetary union; it seems advisable to maintain the basic structure of the Committee while making the necessary adjustments to improve its functioning and to describe its tasks more precisely.
(5) The task assigned to the Committee shall be without prejudice to the right of the Commission to formulate recommendations or deliver opinions on matters dealt with in the Treaty.
(6) The introduction of the euro reinforces the need for a close coordination of economic policies and sustained convergence of the economic performances of the Member States; according to the resolution of the European Council of 13 December 1997 on economic policy coordination in stage 3 of economic and monetary union(5) enhanced economic policy coordination should include a closer monitoring of macroeconomic developments in Member States and of Member States structural policies in labour, product and services markets, as well as of cost and price trends, particularly in so far as they affect the chances of achieving sustained non-inflationary growth and job creation.
(7) The broad economic policy guidelines and the multilateral surveillance procedure as provided for in Article 99 of the Treaty are at the centre of economic policy coordination; without prejudice to the tasks of the Economic and Financial Committee, the Committee should provide support for the formulation of the guidelines and contribute to the multilateral surveillance procedure in the areas mentioned in this Decision.
(8) The European Council at its meeting in Cardiff on 16 June 1998 welcomed the decision of the Ecofin Council and the ministers meeting in that Council on 1 May 1998(6) to establish a light procedure, fully respecting the subsidiarity principle, for monitoring progress on economic reform.
(9) The resolution of the European Council of 3 and 4 June 1999 launched a process of macroeconomic dialogue at Community level. This macroeconomic dialogue is aimed at improving the interaction between wage developments and macroeconomic policies. The European Council has concluded that the macroeconomic dialogue at technical level should take place in a working party set up in the framework of the Committee in collaboration with the Employment and Labour Market Committee, with the participation of representatives of both committees (including the European Central Bank), of the Commission and of the Macroeconomic Group of the Social Dialogue. The Committee should in particular organise the contribution of government representatives to the dialogue at this level.
(10) The resolution of the European Council of 16 June 1997 on growth and employment(7) called for an enhanced coordination of economic policies to complement the procedure as envisaged in the new title on employment in the Treaty, and requested that the Employment Committee should work closely together with the Committee.
(11) The Treaty provides for the establishment of an Economic and Financial Committee. The tasks of the Economic and Financial Committee are set out in Article 114(2) of the Treaty. The statutes of the Economic and Financial Committee have been adopted by Council Decision of 31 December 1998(8). The Committee should work in close cooperation with the Economic and Financial Committee when assisting the Council.
(12) The Treaty calls for the establishment of an employment committee. Close cooperation with that committee is also required.
(13) The description of the tasks of the Committee is to be without prejudice to any possible future secondary legislation on the multilateral surveillance procedure as provided for in Article 99(5) of the Treaty.
(14) The Member States, the Commission and the European Central Bank should be adequately represented in the Committee. They should each nominate four members.

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2597/97 of 18 December 1997 laying down additional rules on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products for drinking milk
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 42 and 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas the aim of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1411/71 of 29 June 1971 laying down additional rules on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products for drinking milk (4), is to increase the market for products falling within CN code 0401 as much as possible by providing a guarantee of quality and products which fulfil consumers' needs and wishes; whereas the establishment of marketing standards for the milk products concerned helps to stabilize the market and therefore to ensure a fair standard of living for farmers; whereas it is consequently in the interests of both producers and consumers to maintain such rules;
Whereas, in order to profit from experience and to simplify and clarify the rules so as better to guarantee legal certainty for those concerned, a number of amendments should be made to the said Regulation, and its provisions brought together in a new Regulation;
Whereas, in order to meet the wishes of consumers, who attach increasing importance to the nutritional value of milk proteins, rules should be laid down to ensure that milk products contain at least the natural protein content of milk and to permit the enrichment of drinking milk with milk proteins, mineral salts or vitamins or the reduction of its lactose content;
Whereas Article 5 (9) of Council Directive 92/46/EEC of 16 June 1992 laying down the health rules for the production and placing on the market of raw milk, heat-treated milk and milk-based products (5), lays down certain requirements concerning the composition of drinking milk; whereas, in the interests of consistency, those provisions should be included in the Regulation on marketing standards and at the same time amended to take account of experience;
Whereas Council Directive 79/112/EEC of 18 December 1978 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs (6), and Council Directive 90/496/EEC of 24 September 1990 on nutrition labelling for foodstuffs (7) apply;
Whereas, in order to ensure consistency, products imported from third countries should be subject to the same rules;
Whereas provision should be made that the Member States must determine the checks and penalties to be applied in the event of infringement of this Regulation,
1. This Regulation lays down standards for products falling within CN code 0401 intended for human consumption within the Community, without prejudice to measures for the protection of public health.
2. For the purposes of this Regulation:
(a) 'milk` shall mean the produce of the milking of one or more cows;
(b) 'drinking milk` shall mean the products referred to in Article 3 intended for delivery without further processing to the consumer;
(c) 'fat content` shall mean the ratio by mass of parts of milk fat per hundred parts of milk in the milk concerned;
(d) protein content shall mean the ratio by mass of parts of protein per hundred parts of milk in the milk concerned (obtained by multiplying by 6,38 the total nitrogen content of the milk expressed as a percentage by mass).
1. Only milk complying with the requirements laid down for drinking milk may be delivered or sold without processing to the final consumer, either directly or through the intermediary of restaurants, hospitals, canteens or other similar mass caterers.
2. The sales descriptions to be used for those products shall be those given in Article 3. Those descriptions shall be used only for the products referred to in that Article, without prejudice to their use in composite descriptions.
3. Member States shall adopt measures to inform consumers of the nature and composition of the products concerned where the absence of such information is likely to cause confusion.
1. The following products shall be considered as drinking milk:
(a) raw milk: milk which has not been heated above 40 °C or subjected to treatment having equivalent effect;
(b) whole milk: heat-treated milk which, with respect to fat content, meets one of the following requirements:
- standardized whole milk: milk with a fat content of at least 3,50 % (m/m). However, Member States may provide for an additional category of whole milk with a fat content of 4,00 % (m/m) or above,
- non-standardized whole milk: milk with a fat content that has not been altered since the milking stage either by the addition or removal of milk fats or by mixture with milk the natural fat content of which has been altered. However, the fat content may not be less than 3,50 % (m/m);
(c) semi-skimmed milk: heat-treated milk whose fat content has been reduced to at least 1,50 % (m/m) and at most 1,80 % (m/m);
(d) skimmed-milk: heat-treated milk whose fat content has been reduced to not more than 0,50 % (m/m).
2. Without prejudice to the second indent of paragraph 1 (b), only the following modifications shall be allowed:
(a) in order to meet the fat contents laid down for drinking milk, modification of the natural fat content by the removal or addition of cream or the addition of whole milk, semi-skimmed milk or skimmed milk;
(b) enrichment of milk with milk proteins, mineral salts or vitamins;
(c) reduction of the lactose content by conversion to glucose and galactose.
Modifications in the composition of milk referred to in (b) and (c) shall be allowed only if they are indelibly indicated on the packing of the product so that it can be easily seen and read. However, such indication shall not remove the obligation as regards nutrition labelling laid down by Directive 90/496/EEC. Where proteins are added, the protein content of the enriched milk must be 3,8 % (m/m) or more.
However, Member States may limit or prohibit modifications to the composition of milk referred to in points (b) and (c).
Drinking milk must:
(a) have a freezing point close to the average freezing point for raw milk recorded in the area of origin of the drinking milk collected;
(b) have a mass of not less than 1 028 grams per litre for milk containing 3,5 % (m/m) of fat at a temperature of 20 °C or the equivalent weight per litre for milk having a different fat content;
(c) contain a minimum of 2,9 % (m/m) of protein for milk containing 3,5 % (m/m) of fat or an equivalent concentration in the case of milk having a different fat content;
(d) have a fat-free dry matter content of 8,50 % (m/m) or more for milk containing 3,5 % (m/m) of fat or an equivalent content in the case of milk having a different fat content;
Products imported into the Community for sale as drinking milk must comply with this Regulation.
Directive 79/112/EEC shall apply, in particular as regards national provisions on the labelling of drinking milk.
1. Member States shall adopt all appropriate measures to monitor the application of this Regulation, penalize infringements and prevent and repress fraud.
Such measures and any amendments shall be notified to the Commission during the month following their adoption.
2. The Commission shall adopt detailed rules for the application of this Regulation in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 30 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (8).
Regulation (EEC) No 1411/71 is hereby repealed.
References to Regulation (EEC) No 1411/71 shall be understood to apply to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1998. Article 4 shall, however, apply from January 1999.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 288/82 of 5 February 1982 on common rules for imports (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
After consultation within the Advisory Committee set up by Article 5 of that Regulation,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2819/79 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1769/86 (3), makes imports of certain textile products originating in certain non-member countries subject to Community surveillance;

(2010/355/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 8(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Commission Decision 2007/629/EC (2) it was decided not to include the active substance trifluralin in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That Decision was taken within the framework of the second stage of the programme of work provided for in Commission Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 (3) and (EC) No 703/2001 (4) which lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the second stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and which establish a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(2) The original notifier submitted a new application pursuant to Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 of 17 January 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included into its Annex I (5). It requested the application of the accelerated procedure pursuant to Articles 13 to 19 of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 and submitted an updated dossier. The application was submitted to Greece, which had been designated rapporteur Member State by Regulation (EC) No 451/2000.
(3) That application complies with the substantive and procedural requirements of Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 and was submitted within the time period provided for in the second sentence of Article 13 of that Regulation.
(4) Greece evaluated the new information and data submitted by the notifier and prepared an additional report on 7 January 2009.
(5) The additional report was peer reviewed by the Member States and the European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter EFSA, and presented to the Commission on 14 July 2009 in the format of the EFSA Scientific Report for trifluralin (6). This report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 11 May 2010 in the format of the Commission review report for trifluralin.
(6) The new assessment by the rapporteur Member State and the new conclusion by the EFSA concentrated on the concerns that lead to the non-inclusion, which were due to the high risk for aquatic organisms, especially fish, the toxicity of metabolites to sediment dwelling organisms, the consumer exposure for non-cereal applications, the high persistence in soil, the high potential for bioaccumulation, and the potential for long range transport via air.
(7) New data and information were submitted by the notifier in the updated dossier, in particular as regards the aquatic risk assessment, especially fish, the toxicity of metabolites to sediment dwelling organisms, the high persistence in soil and the high potential for bioaccumulation. In order to reduce the risk to consumers, the notifier, in the context of the resubmission, only supported applications on oil seed rape. As regards the potential for long range transport via air, the submitted data simply reproduced a monitoring report which already figured in the original dossier. A new assessment was performed, as included in the additional report and in the EFSA Scientific Report for trifluralin.
(8) However, the additional data and information provided by the notifier did not permit to eliminate all the specific concerns that led to the non-inclusion.
(9) In particular, the concern on potential high risk for aquatic organisms, especially fish, could not be solved due to shortcomings in the newly submitted studies. As a consequence, the surface water risk assessment could not be finalised. Furthermore, the potential for long range transport via air has not been adequately elucidated by the produced information which was of an obsolete nature.
(10) The Commission invited the notifier to submit its comments on the results of the peer review. Furthermore, in accordance with Article 21(1) to Regulation (EC) No 33/2008, the Commission invited the notifier to submit comments on the draft review report and in particular on the remaining concerns for the aquatic risk and the potential for long range transport. The notifier submitted its comments, which have been carefully examined.
(11) However, despite the arguments put forward by the notifier, the concerns identified could not be eliminated, and assessments made on the basis of the information submitted and evaluated during the EFSA expert meetings have not demonstrated that it may be expected that, under the proposed conditions of use, plant protection products containing trifluralin satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
(12) Trifluralin should therefore not be included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(13) Decision 2007/629/EC should be repealed.
(14) This Decision does not prejudice the submission of a further application for trifluralin pursuant to Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and Chapter II of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008.
(15) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Trifluralin shall not be included as active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
Decision 2007/629/EC is repealed.

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(1), (3) and (6) 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(1), (5) and (6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Avian influenza is an infectious viral disease in poultry and birds, causing mortality and disturbances which can quickly take epizootic proportions liable to present a serious threat to animal and public health and to reduce sharply the profitability of poultry farming. There is a risk that the disease agent might be introduced via international trade in live poultry and poultry products.
(2) Croatia has notified to the Commission the isolation of an H5 avian influenza virus collected from a clinical case in a wild species. The clinical picture allows the suspicion of highly pathogenic avian influenza pending the determination of the neuraminidase (N) type and of the pathogenicity index.
(3) The Commission therefore adopted Decision 2005/749/EC of 24 October 2005 concerning certain protection measures in relation to a suspicion of highly pathogenic avian influenza in Croatia (3).
(4) In view of the animal health risk of disease introduction into the Community, it is therefore appropriate as an immediate measure to suspend imports of live poultry, ratites, farmed and wild feathered game birds, live birds other than poultry and hatching eggs of these species from Croatia. As Croatia is authorised for imports of game trophies and untreated feathers, imports into the Community of these products should be suspended as well because of the animal health risk involved.
(5) Furthermore the importation into the Community from Croatia should be suspended for fresh meat of wild feathered game and importation of meat preparations and meat products consisting of or containing meat of those species.
(6) Certain products derived from poultry slaughtered before 1 August 2005 should also continue to be authorised, taking into account the incubation period of the disease.
(7) Commission Decision 2005/432/EC of 3 June 2005 laying down the animal and public health conditions and model certificates for imports of meat products for human consumption from third countries and repealing Decisions 97/41/EC, 97/221/EC and 97/222/EC (4) lays down the list of third countries from which Member States may authorise the importation of meat products and establishes treatment regimes considered effective in inactivating the respective pathogens. In order to prevent the risk of disease transmission via such products, appropriate treatment must be applied depending on the health status of the country of origin and the species the product is obtained from. It appears therefore appropriate, that imports of wild feathered game meat products originating in Croatia and treated to a temperature of at least 70 °C throughout the product should continue to be authorised.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
1. Member States shall suspend the importation from the territory of Croatia of:
— live poultry, ratites, farmed and wild feathered game, live birds other than poultry as defined in Article 1, third indent, of Decision 2000/666/EC, including birds accompanying their owners (pet birds), and hatching eggs of these species,
— fresh meat of wild feathered game,
— meat preparations and meat products consisting of or containing meat of wild feathered game,
— raw pet food and unprocessed feed material containing any parts of wild feathered game,
— non-treated game trophies from any birds, and
— unprocessed feathers and parts of feathers.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, Member States shall authorise the importation of the products covered by paragraph 1 second to fourth indent, which have been obtained from birds slaughtered before 1 August 2005.
3. In the veterinary certificates/commercial documents accompanying consignments of the products referred to in paragraph 2 the following words as appropriate to the species shall be included:
‘Fresh poultry meat/fresh ratite meat/fresh meat of wild feathered game/fresh meat of farmed feathered game/meat product consisting of, or containing meat of poultry, ratites, farmed or wild feathered game meat/meat preparation consisting of, or containing meat of poultry, ratites, farmed or wild feathered game meat/raw pet food and unprocessed feed material containing any parts of poultry, ratites, farmed or wild feathered game (5) obtained from birds slaughtered before 1 August 2005 and in accordance with Article 1(2) of Commission Decision 2005/758/EC.
4. By derogation from paragraph 1, Member States shall authorise the importation of meat products consisting of or containing meat of wild feathered game under the condition that the meat of these species has undergone at least one of the specific treatments referred to under points B, C or D in Part IV of Annex II to Decision 2005/432/EC.
Member States shall ensure that for the importation of processed feathers or parts of feathers, a commercial document stating that the processed feathers or parts thereof have been treated with a steam current or by some other method ensuring that no pathogens are transmitted accompany the consignment.
However, that commercial document shall not be required for processed decorative feathers, processed feathers carried by travellers for their private use or consignments of processed feathers sent to private individuals for non-industrial purpose.
Member States shall immediately take the necessary measures to comply with this Decision and publish those measures. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.
Decision 2005/749/EC is repealed.
This Decision shall apply until 30 April 2006.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 of 17 May 1999 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops(1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2704/1999(2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999(3) lays down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 with regard to set-aside. Article 19(2) lays down that areas set aside must so remain for a period commencing on 15 January at the latest and ending on 31 August at the earliest. Article 19(3) lays down that, in principle, areas set aside may not be used for agricultural production or for any lucrative purpose.
(2) During December 1999, regions in several Member States were hit by violent storms that caused serious damage to woodland, resulting in a glut of timber which is threatening the market. The use of land set aside under the arable crop scheme could alleviate the situation by permitting the temporary storage of the timber concerned until it is required by industry. Measures should, however, be adopted to ensure that the land is made available on a non-lucrative basis.
(3) A derogation should therefore be made from Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
For the 2000/2001 and 2001/2002 marketing years and notwithstanding Article 19(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999, land declared as set aside may be used to store trees blown down by storms in December 1999 in regions declared as disaster areas by the Member States.
The Member States concerned shall take all necessary measures to ensure that the set-aside land used for storage is made available on a non-lucrative basis.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 15 January 2000.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1987/2001(2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 13(3) and (15) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, provides that when refunds are being fixed account must be taken of the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of rice and broken rice on the Community market on the one hand and prices for rice and broken rice on the world market on the other. The same Article provides that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the rice market and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports and the need to avoid disturbances of the Community market with limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(3) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1361/76(3) lays down the maximum percentage of broken rice allowed in rice for which an export refund is fixed and specifies the percentage by which that refund is to be reduced where the proportion of broken rice in the rice exported exceeds that maximum.
(4) Export possibilities exist for a quantity of 13143 tonnes of rice to certain destinations. The procedure laid down in Article 7(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1162/95(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 409/2001(5) should be used. Account should be taken of this when the refunds are fixed.
(5) Article 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the export refund on rice and broken rice is being calculated.
(6) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.
(7) A separate refund should be fixed for packaged long grain rice to accommodate current demand for the product on certain markets.
(8) The refund must be fixed at least once a month; whereas it may be altered in the intervening period.
(9) It follows from applying these rules and criteria to the present situation on the market in rice and in particular to quotations or prices for rice and broken rice within the Community and on the world market, that the refund should be fixed as set out in the Annex hereto.
(10) For the purposes of administering the volume restrictions resulting from Community commitments in the context of the WTO, the issue of export licences with advance fixing of the refund should be restricted.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 with the exception of those listed in paragraph 1(c) of that Article, exported in the natural state, shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
With the exception of the quantity of 13143 tonnes provided for in the Annex, the issue of export licences with advance fixing of the refund is suspended.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 February 2002.

of 24 April 2003
fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for molasses in the sugar sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sugar(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 of 23 June 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for imports of molasses in the sugar sector and amending Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 79/2003(4), and in particular Article 1(2) and Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 stipulates that the cif import price for molasses, hereinafter referred to as the "representative price", should be set in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(5). That price should be fixed for the standard quality defined in Article 1 of the above Regulation.
(2) The representative price for molasses is calculated at the frontier crossing point into the Community, in this case Amsterdam; that price must be based on the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market established on the basis of the quotations or prices on that market adjusted for any deviations from the standard quality. The standard quality for molasses is defined in Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(3) When the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market are being established, account must be taken of all available information on offers on the world market, on the prices recorded on important third-country markets and on sales concluded in international trade of which the Commission is aware, either directly or through the Member States. Under Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68, the Commission may for this purpose take an average of several prices as a basis, provided that this average is representative of actual market trends.
(4) The information must be disregarded if the goods concerned are not of sound and fair marketable quality or if the price quoted in the offer relates only to a small quantity that is not representative of the market. Offer prices which can be regarded as not representative of actual market trends must also be disregarded.
(5) If information on molasses of the standard quality is to be comparable, prices must, depending on the quality of the molasses offered, be increased or reduced in the light of the results achieved by applying Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(6) A representative price may be left unchanged by way of exception for a limited period if the offer price which served as a basis for the previous calculation of the representative price is not available to the Commission and if the offer prices which are available and which appear not to be sufficiently representative of actual market trends would entail sudden and considerable changes in the representative price.
(7) Where there is a difference between the trigger price for the product in question and the representative price, additional import duties should be fixed under the conditions set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95. Should the import duties be suspended pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95, specific amounts for these duties should be fixed.
(8) Application of these provisions will have the effect of fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for the products in question as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The representative prices and the additional duties applying to imports of the products referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 are fixed in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 25 April 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 24 July 2012
on recognition of the ‘REDcert’ scheme for demonstrating compliance with the sustainability criteria under Directives 98/70/EC and 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
(2012/432/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources and amending and subsequently repealing Directives 2001/77/EC and 2003/30/EC (1), and in particular Article 18(6) thereof,
Having regard to Directive 98/70/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 1998 relating to the quality of petrol and diesel fuels (2) as amended by the Directive 2009/30/EC (3), and in particular Article 7c(6) thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee established by Article 25, paragraph 2 of Directive 2009/28/EC,
Whereas:
(1) Directives 98/70/EC and 2009/28/EC both lay down sustainability criteria for biofuels. Provisions of Articles 7b, 7c and Annex IV to Directive 98/70/EC are similar to provisions of Articles 17, 18 and Annex V to Directive 2009/28/EC.
(2) Where biofuels and bioliquids are to be taken into account for the purposes referred to in Article 17(1)(a), (b) and (c) of Directive 2009/28/EC Member States should require economic operators to show the compliance of biofuels and bioliquids with the sustainability criteria set out in Article 17(2) to (5) of Directive 2009/28/EC.
(3) Recital 76 of Directive 2009/28/EC states that the imposition of an unreasonable burden on industry should be avoided and voluntary schemes can help create efficient solutions for proving compliance with these sustainability criteria.
(4) The Commission may decide that a voluntary national or international scheme demonstrates that consignments of biofuel comply with the sustainability criteria set out in Article 17(3) to (5) of Directive 2009/28/EC or that a voluntary national or international scheme to measure greenhouse gas emission savings contains accurate data for the purposes of Article 17(2) of this Directive.
(5) The Commission may recognise such a voluntary scheme for a period of five years.
(6) When an economic operator provides proof or data obtained in accordance with a voluntary scheme that has been recognised by the Commission, to the extent covered by the recognition decision, a Member State should not require the supplier to provide further evidence of compliance with the sustainability criteria.
(7) The ‘REDcert’ scheme was submitted on 21 February 2012 to the Commission with the request for recognition. The scheme can cover a wide range of different biofuels and bioliquids. The recognised scheme should be made available at the transparency platform established under Directive 2009/28/EC. The Commission should take into account considerations of commercial sensitivity and may decide to only partially publish the scheme.
(8) Assessment of the ‘REDcert’ scheme found it to adequately cover the sustainability criteria in Article 7b(3), (4) and (5) of Directive 98/70/EC and Article 17(3), (4) and (5) of Directive 2009/28/EC, as well as applying a mass balance methodology in line with the requirements of Article 7c(1) of Directive 98/70/EC and Article 18(1) of Directive 2009/28/EC.
(9) The evaluation of the ‘REDcert’ scheme found that it meets adequate standards of reliability, transparency and independent auditing and also complies with the methodological requirements in Annex IV to Directive 98/70/EC and Annex V to Directive 2009/28/EC.
(10) Any additional sustainability elements covered by the ‘REDcert’ scheme are not part of the consideration of this Decision. These additional sustainability elements are not mandatory to show compliance with sustainability requirements provided for by Directives 98/70/EC and 2009/28/EC,
The voluntary scheme ‘REDcert’ for which the request for recognition was submitted to the Commission on 21 February 2012 demonstrates that consignments of biofuels comply with the sustainability criteria as laid down in Article 17(3), 17(4) and 17(5) of Directive 2009/28/EC and Article 7b(3), 7b(4) and 7b(5) of Directive 98/70/EC. The scheme also contains accurate data for purposes of Article 17(2) of Directive 2009/28/EC and Article 7b(2) of Directive 98/70/EC.
The voluntary scheme ‘REDcert’ may be used for demonstrating compliance with Article 7c(1) of Directive 98/70/EC and Article 18(1) of Directive 2009/28/EC.
The Decision is valid for a period of five years after it enters into force. If the scheme, after adoption of this Decision, undergoes changes to its contents in a way that might affect the basis of this Decision, such changes shall be notified to the Commission without delay. The Commission shall assess the notified changes with a view to establishing whether the scheme is still adequately covering the sustainability criteria for which it is recognised.
If it has been clearly demonstrated that the scheme has not implemented elements considered to be decisive for this Decision and if severe and structural breach of those elements has taken place, the Commission may repeal this Decision.
This Decision shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community(1), as last amended by Commission Directive 2002/36/EC(2), and in particular Article 15(1) thereof,
Having regard to the request made by the United Kingdom,
Whereas:
(1) Under Directive 2000/29/EC, plants of Chamaecyparis Spach, Juniperus L. and Pinus L., other than fruits and seeds, originating in non-European countries, must not in principle be introduced into the Community. However, Directive 2000/29/EC permits derogations from this rule, provided that it is established that there is no risk of introduction of harmful organisms.
(2) Following a mission of the Food and Veterinary Office of the Commission and exchange of information between the Commission and the Republic of Korea, the Commission has established that on the basis of available information there is no risk of spreading harmful organisms with the import of naturally or artificially dwarfed plants of Chamaecyparis Spach, Juniperus L. and Pinus L., provided that specific conditions are satisfied.
(3) A derogation from certain provisions of Directive 2000/29/EC should therefore be authorised for a limited period, subject to specific conditions.
(4) The authorisation pursuant to this Decision should be terminated if it is established that the specific conditions are not sufficient to prevent the introduction of harmful organisms or have not been complied with.

| COMMISSION DECISION of 10 October 1979 concerning the notification by the Luxembourg Government of a derogation from Directive 75/716/EEC pursuant to Article 2 (3) of the Directive (Only the French text is authentic) (79/872/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to Council Directive 75/716/EEC of 24 November 1975 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the sulphur content of certain liquid fuels, and in particular Article 2 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the notification from the Luxembourg Government contained in its letter of 4 July 1979, which was received by the Commission on 10 July 1979, of a derogation from Directive 75/716/EEC contained in the Decision of the Luxembourg Government in Council, of 25 May 1979, concerning the sulphur content of certain liquid fuels,
Having regard to the replies received from the other Member States to the consultative communication which was sent to them on 13 August 1979 by the Commission,
Whereas, pursuant to the said Article 2 (3), the Luxembourg Government has decided to allow on to its territory, in addition to gas-oils with a sulphur compound content expressed as sulphur lower than 0 75 % by weight, gas-oils with a sulphur compound content expressed as sulphur of between 0 75 % and 0 78 % by weight for the period from 26 August 1979 to 1 October 1980 ; whereas, in support of that decision, the Luxembourg Government states that it is almost totally dependent on Belgian refineries for its supplies of the products in question (light fuel oils and gas-oils) ; whereas, since the spring of 1979, those refineries have reduced their deliveries of light fuel oils and gas-oils with a sulphur content of less than 0 75 % and thus the Luxembourg Government can no longer be certain that the Luxembourg market will receive sufficient supplies of type A gas-oils within the meaning of Directive 75/716/EEC ; whereas any break in Luxembourg's traditional channels of supply would cause serious difficulties of all kinds for the Luxembourg economy;
Whereas the level of atmospheric pollution by SO2 observed in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg has been on the decrease since the application of the Directive and the temporary derogation does not in any way risk increasing such pollution noticeably in view of the small quantities of gas-oils involved;
Whereas, under the Decision of the Luxembourg Government, the maximum permitted sulphur level in gas-oils on the internal market is not higher than the maximum level permitted by Directive 75/716/EEC for type B gas-oils;
Whereas, in the circumstances, supplies to consumers in Luxembourg of light fuel oils and gas-oils of the requisite type may be jeopardized because of changes in the quality of crude oil and its consequences on the available desulphurization capacity ; whereas accordingly the derogation adopted by the Luxembourg Government is justified as a precautionary measure,
The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is hereby authorized to retain in force, until 30 September 1980, the derogation from Directive 75/716/EEC contained in the decision of the Luxembourg Government in Council, of 25 May 1979, concerning the sulphur content of certain liquid fuels.
This Decision is addressed to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg Government. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

Having regard to Regulation (EEC) No 3889/87 of 22 December 1987 laying down detailed rules for the application of the special measures for certain regions of hops production (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 718/93 (4), and in particular
Article 3
thereof,
Whereas the Kingdom of Belgium transmitted to the Commission on 10 March 1988 a varietal conversion programme for the hops sector in accordance with Article 2 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2997/87; whereas this programme, as amended on 26 July 1988, was approved in Commission Decision 88/606/EEC (5); whereas this programme after being amended three times by Decisions 89/480/EEC (6), 91/94/EEC (7) and 92/149/EEC (8) respectively, was closed on 31 December 1992;
Whereas on 29 December 1992 the Kingdom of Belgium transmitted to the Commission an additional varietal conversion programme which differs from the previous programme in that it includes a new, recently recognized, producer group, the inclusion of new areas and a more market orientation towards super-alpha varieties which are better suited to market requirements, pursuant to Article 1 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3889/87; whereas that additional programme was approved by Commission Decision 93/251/EEC (9)
Whereas the Kingdom of Belgium forwarded to the Commission on 21 December 1993 further amendments to that programme;
Whereas the proposed amendments relate principally to the even more marked increase in Super-alpha varieties in the range of varieties covered by the conversion operation and to the increase in the areas involved in that operation;
Whereas this additional programme, as amended, is in line with the objectives pursued by that Regulation and contains the information required under Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3889/87;
Whereas the special aid for varietal conversion may also be granted for areas under other varieties where these are present on land essentially given over to bitter varieties under a conversion plan;
Whereas the financial contribution charged to the national budget complies with the ceiling specified in Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2997/87; whereas the actual costs referred to in Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2997/87 may include factors for assessing the net loss of income resulting from the implementation of the conversion plan; whereas, however, only factors relating to the net loss of income suffered from the date of adoption of Regulation (EEC) No 2997/87 may be introduced into the calculation of the actual costs; whereas, as a result, the financial contribution by the Member State to the varietal conversion programme will have to be adjusted;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Hops,
The varietal conversion programme for the hop sector submitted under Regulation (EEC) No 2997/87 by the Kingdom of Belgium on 21 December 1993 is hereby approved. The main features of that programme are set out in the Annex.
The Kingdom of Belgium shall inform the Commission of the progress of the programme every six months.

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 13 January 1981, 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 "Kay sona-graph, models 6061 B, 7029 A and 7030 A", to be used for teaching purposes, speech science and speech research, 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 28 April 1981 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 it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,
The apparatus described as "Kay sona-graph, models 6061 B, 7029 A and 7030 A", which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 13 January 1981, 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 Council Regulation (EEC) No 315/93 of 8 February 1993 laying down Community procedures for contaminants in food(1), and in particular Article 2(3) thereof,
After consulting the Scientific Committee for Food (SCF),
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EEC) No 315/93 provides that maximum levels must be set for contaminants in foodstuffs in order to protect public health.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 466/2001(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 257/2002(3), sets maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs to apply from 5 April 2002.
(3) Some Member States have adopted, or plan to adopt, maximum levels for aflatoxins in spices and maximum levels for ochratoxin A in certain foodstuffs. In view of the disparities between Member States and the consequent risk of distortion of competition, Community measures are necessary in order to ensure market unity while abiding by the principle of proportionality.
(4) Aflatoxins, in particular aflatoxin B1, are genotoxic carcinogenic substances. For substances of this type there is no threshold below which no harmful effect is observed and therefore no admissible daily intake can be set. Current scientific and technical knowledge and improvements in production and storage techniques do not prevent the development of these moulds and consequently do not enable the presence of the aflatoxins in spices to be eliminated entirely. Limits should therefore be set which are as low as reasonably achievable.
(5) The results of a coordinated control programme, performed by the Member States in accordance with Commission Recommendation 97/77/EC of 8 January 1997 concerning a coordinated programme for the official control of foodstuffs for 1997(4) have become available since the maximum levels for aflatoxins in other foodstuffs were established. They show that several species of spices contain a high level of aflatoxins. It is therefore appropriate to establish maximum limits for the species of spices which are used in large quantity and which have a high incidence of contamination.
(6) The maximum limits should be reviewed and, if necessary, reduced before 31 December 2003 taking into account possibilities to reduce aflatoxin contamination in spices by improvements in production, harvesting and storage methods and the progress of scientific and technological knowledge.
(7) Ochratoxin A is a mycotoxin produced by several fungi (Penicillium and Aspergillus species). It occurs naturally in a variety of plant products, such as cereals, coffee beans, cocoa beans, and dried fruit, all over the world. It has been detected in products such as cereal products, coffee, wine, beer, spices and grape juice but also in products of animal origin, namely pig kidneys. Investigations of the frequency and levels of occurrence of ochratoxin A in food and human blood samples indicate that foodstuffs are frequently contaminated.
(8) Ochratoxin A is a mycotoxin with carcinogenic, nephrotoxic, teratogenic, immunotoxic and possibly neurotoxic properties. It has been linked to nephropathy in humans. Ochratoxin A may have a long half-life in humans.
(9) The Scientific Committee for Food considered in its opinion on ochratoxin A of 17 September 1998 that it would be prudent to reduce exposure to ochratoxin A as much as possible, ensuring that exposures are towards the lower end of the range of tolerable daily intakes of 1,2-14 ng/kg bw/day which have been estimated by other bodies, e.g. below 5 ng/kg bw/day.
(10) With current scientific and technical knowledge, and despite improvements in production and storage techniques, it is not possible to prevent the development of these moulds altogether. Consequently ochratoxin A cannot be eliminated from food entirely. Limits should therefore be set which are as low as reasonably achievable.
(11) The main contributors to the dietary intake of ochratoxin A are cereals and cereal products. Prevention is of major importance to avoid contamination as much as possible and to protect the consumer. In addition, it is appropriate to establish maximum limits for cereals and cereal products at a level reasonably achievable on condition that preventive actions to avoid contamination at all stages in the production and commercialisation chain are applied.
(12) Dried vine fruit (currants, raisins and sultanas) has been found to be highly contaminated. Dried vine fruit is an important dietary source of ochratoxin A for people with high levels of consumption, in particular children. While it is therefore appropriate to establish for the time being a limit at a level which is technologically achievable, it is imperative to further improve practices to reduce contamination.
(13) The presence of ochratoxin A has also been observed in coffee, wine, beer, grape juice, cocoa and spices. Investigations and research should be undertaken by Member States and interested parties (such as professional organisations) to determine the different factors involved in the formation of ochratoxin A and to determine the prevention measures to be taken to reduce the presence of ochratoxin A in these foodstuffs. For these products every effort should be made with regard to research and prevention measures to reduce ochratoxin A content as much as possible pending the establishment of maximum limits on the basis of the "as low as reasonably achievable" (ALARA) principle. If no effort is undertaken to reduce the ochratoxin A content for certain products, it will be necessary to establish a maximum limit for these products in order to protect public health, without being able to assess the technological feasibility.
(14) Regulation (EC) No 466/2001 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(15) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Regulation (EC) No 466/2001 is amended as follows:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine animals, swine and fresh meat from third countries (1), as last amended by Directive 83/91/EEC (2), and in particular Articles 4 (1) and 18 (1) (a) and (b) thereof,
Whereas establishments in third countries cannot be authorized to export fresh meat to the Community unless they satisfy the general and special conditions laid down in Directive 72/462/EEC;
Whereas Australia has forwarded, in accordance with Article 4 (3) of Directive 72/462/EEC, a list of the establishments authorized to export to the Community;
Whereas Community on-the-spot visits have shown that the hygiene standards of many of these establishments are sufficient and they may therefore be entered on a first list, established according to Article 4 (1) of the said Directive, of establishments from which importation of fresh meat may be authorized;
Whereas the case of the other establishments proposed by Australia has to be re-examined on the basis of additional information regarding their hygiene standards and their ability to adapt quickly to the Community legislation;
Whereas, in the meantime and so as to avoid any abrupt interruption of existing trade flows, these establishments may be authorized temporarily to continue their exports of fresh meat to those Member States prepared to accept them;
Whereas it will therefore be necessary to re-examine and, if necessary, amend this Decision in the light of measures taken to this end and improvements made;
Whereas import of fresh meat from establishments appearing on the list annexed to this Decision remains subject to provisions laid down elsewhere and to the general provisions of the Treaty; whereas in particular, import from third countries and re-export to other Member States of certain categories of meat, such as meat weighing less than 3 kilograms, or meat containing residues of certain substances, which are not yet covered by Community rules or by rules which need to be further harmonized, remain subject to the health legislation of the importing Member State, while respecting the general provisions of the Treaty;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
1. The establishments in Australia listed in the Annex are hereby approved for the import of fresh meat into the Community pursuant to the said Annex.
2. Imports from the establishments referred to in paragraph 1 shall remain subject to the Community veterinary provisions laid down elsewhere.
1. Member States shall prohibit imports of fresh meat coming from establishments other than those listed in the Annex.

authorising methods for grading pig carcases in Estonia
(notified under document number C(2005) 1099)
(Only the Estonian text is authentic)
(2005/308/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 of 13 November 1984 determining the Community scale for grading pig carcases (1), and in particular Article 5(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 2(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 provides that the grading of pig carcases must be determined by estimating the content of lean meat in accordance with statistically proven assessment methods based on the physical measurement of one or more anatomical parts of the pig carcase; the authorisation of grading methods is subject to compliance with a maximum tolerance for statistical error in assessment; this tolerance was defined in Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85 of 24 October 1985 laying down detailed rules for the application of the Community scale for grading pig carcases (2).
(2) The Government of Estonia has requested the Commission to authorise two methods for grading pig carcases and has submitted the results of its dissection trial which was executed before the day of accession, by presenting part two of the protocol provided for in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85.
(3) The evaluation of this request has revealed that the conditions for authorising these grading methods are fulfilled.
(4) In Estonia commercial practice may require that the head, the fore feet and the tail are removed from the pig carcase; this should be taken into account in adjusting the weight for standard presentation.
(5) No modification of the apparata or the grading methods may be authorised except by means of a new Commission Decision adopted in the light of experience gained; for this reason, the present authorisation may be revoked.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
The use of the following methods is hereby authorised for grading pig carcases pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 in Estonia:
(a) the apparatus termed ‘Intrascope (Optical Probe)’ and the assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 1 of the Annex;
(b) the apparatus termed ‘Ultra-FOM 300’ and the assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 2 of the Annex.
As regards the apparatus ‘Ultra-FOM 300’, referred to in the first paragraph, point (b), it is laid down that after the end of the measurement procedure it must be possible to verify on the carcase that the apparatus measured the values of measurement X2 and X4 on the site provided for in the Annex, Part 2, point 3. The corresponding marking of the measurement site must be made at the same time as the measurement procedure.
Notwithstanding the standard presentation referred to in Article 2(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84, pig carcases may be presented in Estonia without the head, the fore feet and the tail before being weighed and graded. In order to establish quotations for pig carcases on a comparable basis, the recorded hot weight shall be multiplied by 1,07.
Modifications of the apparatus or the assessment method shall not be authorised.

(Text with EEA relevance)
(2010/705/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2008/106/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 November 2008 on the minimum level of training of seafarers (1) and in particular Article 20(2) thereof,
Having regard to the reassessment of compliance of Georgia carried out by the Commission pursuant to Article 21(1) of Directive 2008/106/EC,
Whereas:
(1) Member States may decide to endorse seafarers’ certificates of competency issued by third countries, provided that the relevant third country is recognised by the Commission as ensuring that this country complies with the requirements of the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978, as amended (STCW Convention) (2).
(2) Georgia is recognised at the level of the European Union under the procedure established by Article 18(3)(c) of Directive 2001/25/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 April 2001 on the minimum level of training of seafarers (3), as recognitions of Georgian certificates by Italy and Greece are published in the Official Journal of the European Union
(4) and therefore remain valid in accordance with Article 19(5) of Directive 2008/106/EC, in spite of the fact that Directive 2001/25/EC has been repealed.
(3) The Commission assessed the maritime education, training and certification systems in Georgia, in line with Article 21(1) of Directive 2008/106/EC, to verify whether this country continues to comply with the requirements of the STCW Convention and whether appropriate measures have been taken to prevent fraud involving certificates. This assessment, which was based on the results of a fact-finding inspection performed by experts of the European Maritime Safety Agency in September 2006, revealed several deficiencies.
(4) The Commission provided the Member States with a report on the results of the assessment of compliance.
(5) Subsequently, the Commission requested the Georgian authorities, by letters of 27 February 2009 and 23 March 2010, to provide evidence demonstrating whether the deficiencies detected during the assessment were adequately addressed.
(6) Where deficiencies had been identified during the assessment of compliance with the STCW Convention, the Georgian authorities provided to the Commission on its request, by letters of 1 May 2009, 12 January 2010, 17 February 2010 and 14 April 2010, some information concerning the implementation of corrective action as regards these issues.
(7) The evaluation of the replies of the Georgian authorities, which was conducted by the Commission, confirmed that the information provided address only a very minor part of these deficiencies, while it revealed that the majority of the deficiencies that were identified during the assessment of compliance remain unresolved. These deficiencies concern several sections of the STCW Convention and especially missing national provisions to implement some requirements of the STCW Convention, such as in particular the implementation of a quality standards system and the use of simulators, the functioning of the quality standards system both in the administration and some maritime education and training institutions, the monitoring of these institutions by the administration, as well as numerous certification requirements relating to both the deck and engine departments.
(8) These non-conformities affect various core provisions of the STCW Convention and risk affecting the overall level of competence of seafarers holding certificates issued by Georgia.
(9) The outcome of the assessment of compliance and the evaluation of the information provided by the Georgian authorities demonstrate that Georgia does not comply fully with the relevant requirements of the STCW Convention and therefore its recognition by the European Union should be withdrawn.
(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Safe Seas and the Prevention of Pollution from Ships,
The recognition of Georgia that was granted according to Article 18(3)(c) of Directive 2001/25/EC is withdrawn as regards education, training and certification of seafarers, for the purpose of recognition of certificates of competency issued by this country.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine(1), and in particular Article 33 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 of 25 July 2000 laying down detailed rules for implementing Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine with regard to market mechanisms(2), lays down, among other things, detailed rules for disposing of stocks of alcohol obtained from distillation pursuant to Articles 27, 28 and 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 and held by the intervention agencies.
(2) Public sales of wine alcohol for use in the fuel sector in the Community should be organised in accordance with Articles 92 and 93 of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 with a view to reducing Community stocks of wine alcohol and to some extent ensuring supplies to firms approved in accordance with Article 92 of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3976/87 of 14 December 1987 on the application of Article 85 (3) of the Treaty to certain categories of agreements and concerted practices in the air transport sector (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Having consulted the Advisory Committee on Agreements and Dominant Positions in Air Transport,
Having published a draft of this Regulation (2),
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1617/93 (3), as amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, declares Article 85 (3) of the Treaty to be applicable to agreements between undertakings in the air transport sector, decisions by associations of such undertakings and concerted practices between such undertakings which have as their purpose, inter alia, the holding of consultations on tariffs for the carriage of passengers, with their baggage, and of freight on scheduled air services between Community airports.
(2) Two basic factors prompted the adoption of an exemption regulation as far as consultations on cargo tariffs were concerned:
- the need to allow the airlines time to adjust to the introduction of competition,
- the need to contribute to the general acceptance of interlining conditions, which benefit both carriers and users.
(3) In the case of the first factor, it should be noted that, since the adoption of Regulation (EEC) No 3976/87, airlines have had a period of eight years to adjust to a more competitive environment. Under Council Regulation (EEC) No 2408/92 of 23 July 1992 on access for Community air carriers to intra-Community air routes (4), as amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, market access is to be completely liberalized with effect from 1 April 1997.
(4) Such a period appears sufficient to allow adjustment to new market conditions, and there is no longer any justification for extending it.
(5) In the case of interlining the following aspects must be taken into consideration:
- according to information and documents provided by the airlines and by the International Air Transport Association, the rates resulting from tariff consultations are up to 70 % higher than market prices. The result is, in particular, that consignments covered by interlining agreements are carried at rates which are negotiated between the consignors and the carriers or their representatives and which have no real relationship with the rates resulting from the tariff consultations. It has thus been established that interlining operates in some cases with tariffs that are less than half those set during consultations,
- it has also been established that airlines which do not take part in the tariff consultations carry cargo under interlining agreements,
- according to information provided by the airlines, the proportion of intra-Community consignments covered by interlining agreements fell from 30 % in 1991 to 11 % at the end of 1994. In the case of some airlines, the relevant figure is less than 2 %,
- in some cases, the very high tariffs set during tariff consultations are applied to consignors, even where there is no interlining,
- some airlines have attempted to reform the system for setting tariffs during tariff consultations and to introduce lower tariffs, but such attempts have failed.
(6) In view of these aspects, tariff consultations are no longer necessary to contribute to the acceptance of the general terms and conditions for interlining. These consultations also result in high tariffs being set, at the expense of users, and are no longer essential for making interlining work, given the small number of agreements concerned and the fact that they are concluded essentially on a bilateral basis.
(7) Consultations on cargo tariffs must therefore be excluded from the scope of Regulation (EEC) No 1617/93.
(8) Time to amend the agreements and concerted practices in question should be allowed,
Regulation (EEC) No 1617/93 is amended as follows:
1. In Article 1, the third indent is replaced by the following:
'- the holding of consultations on tariffs for the carriage of passengers, with their baggage, on scheduled air services between Community airports.`
2. Article 4 is amended as follows:
(a) the title is replaced by the following:
'Special provisions for consultations on passenger tariffs`;
(b) paragraph 1 is amended as follows:
(i) the introductory words are replaced by the following:
'The exemption concerning the holding of consultations on passenger tariffs shall apply only if the following conditions are met:`;
(ii) point (a) is replaced by the following:
'(a) the participants only discuss air fares to be paid by air transport users directly to a participating air carrier or to its authorized agents, for carriage as passengers on a scheduled service, as well as the conditions relating to those fares and rates. The consultations shall not extend to the capacity for which such tariffs are to be available;`
(iii) point (c) is replaced by the following:
'(c) the passenger tariffs which are the subject of the consultations are applied by participating air carriers without discrimination on grounds of passenger nationality or place of residence;`
(iv) point (e) is replaced by the following:
'(e) the consultations are not binding on participants, that is to say, following the consultations the participants retain the right to act independently in respect of passenger tariffs;`.
Existing agreements and concerted practices may be amended so as to comply with this Regulation by 30 June 1997.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (3),
Whereas under Community regulations numerous securities are required in connection with operations relating to agricultural products; whereas provision must be made for the crediting of such securities in cases where they are forfeited;
Whereas in most cases where securities are forfeited the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) suffers a financial loss either because it has financed a measure and the operator has failed to meet his obligations or because such failure by the operator subsequently involves the EAGGF in expenditure; whereas such loss should consequently be remedied by using forfeited securities to reduce EAGGF expenditure;
Whereas, however, securities which do not cover a risk of financial loss by the EAGGF should be retained by the Member States;
Whereas securities forfeited in respect of food-aid operations should be used to reduce the food-aid expenditure concerned;
Whereas it is also right that securities forfeited as part of a specific operation should be used to reduce the expenditure relating to that type of operation;
Whereas similar rules already exist in certain sectors; whereas they should be repealed,
1. This Regulation shall apply to any security, deposit or guarantee furnished pursuant to provisions adopted under the common agricultural policy (hereinafter referred to as ‘security’).
2. However, this Regulation shall not apply to any security furnished
(a) in connection with the issue of export or import licences with or without advance fixing of amounts;
(b) under a tendering procedure for the sole purpose of ensuring the submission by tenderers of genuine tenders;
(c) in order to guarantee payment of a duty constituting part of the Communities' own resources as defined in Decision 70/243/ECSC, EEC, Euratom (4), where the amount of such duty has already been determined pursuant to Article 2 (1) of Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 2891/77 (5) and made available to the Commission.
1. Any security referred to in Article 1 which is forfeited shall be used in its entirety by the paying authorities or bodies in the Member States to reduce EAGGF expenditure.
2. However, any security which is forfeited in respect of food-aid operations shall be used by the paying authorities or bodies in the Member States to reduce the food-aid expenditure concerned.
1. Any security referred to in Article 2 (1) shall be deducted:
(a) from the refunds concerned if the completed or proposed operation in respect of which the security was furnished concerns trade with third countries;
(b) from the intervention expenditure concerned in all other cases.
2. If the expenditure chargeable to the EAGGF is supported by accounts, such accounts shall be credited with any security referred to in Article 2 (1).
Article 14 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2306/70 of 10 November 1970 on the financing of intervention expenditure in respect of the internal market in milk and milk products (6) and Article 3 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 786/69 of 22 April 1969 on the financing of intervention expenditure in respect of the internal market in oils and fats (7) are hereby repealed.
Detailed rules for the application of this Regulation shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3831/90 of 20 December 1990 applying generalized tariff preferences for 1991 in respect of certain industrial products originating in developing countries (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,

Whereas, as provided for in Article 7 of that Regulation, as soon as the individual ceilings in question are reached at Community level, the levying of customs duties on imports of the products in question originating in each of the countries and territories concerned may at any time be re-established;
Whereas, in the case of products falling within CN codes 8523 and 8524, originating in China, the individual ceiling was fixed at ECU 9 450 000; whereas, on 17 April 1991, imports of these products into the Community originating in China reached the ceiling in question after being charged thereagainst; whereas, it is appropriate to re-establish the levying of customs duties in respect of the products in question against China,

Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 1151/2002 of 27 June 2002 establishing certain concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products and providing for an adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure, of certain agricultural concessions provided for in the Europe Agreement with Estonia(3) opened certain annual tariff quotas for beef and veal products.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1429/2002(4) does not lay down detailed rules for the application of the tariff quota for thick skirt and thin skirt provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1151/2002. This quota should therefore be incorporated into Regulation (EC) No 1429/2002.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(3), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 411/2002(4), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provide that the difference between quotations of prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of each of those Regulations and the prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common implementing rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 595/2002(6), specifies the products for which a rate of refund should be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex B to Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Annex B to Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 as appropriate.
(3) In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question must be fixed for each month.
(4) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(5) Now that a settlement has been reached between the European Community and the United States of America on Community exports of pasta products to the United States and has been approved by Council Decision 87/482/EEC(7), it is necessary to differentiate the refund on goods falling within CN codes 1902 11 00 and 1902 19 according to their destination.
(6) Pursuant to Article 4(3) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 provides that a reduced rate of export refund has to be fixed, taking account of the amount of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93(8), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1786/2001(9), for the basic product in question, used during the assumed period of manufacture of the goods.
(7) Spirituous beverages are considered less sensitive to the price of the cereals used in their manufacture. However, Protocol 19 of the Act of Accession of the United Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark stipulates that the necessary measures must be decided to facilitate the use of Community cereals in the manufacture of spirituous beverages obtained from cereals. Accordingly, it is necessary to adapt the refund rate applying to cereals exported in the form of spirituous beverages.
(8) It is necessary to ensure continuity of strict management taking account of expenditure forecasts and funds available in the budget.
(9) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products appearing in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 and listed either in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, exported in the form of goods listed in Annex B to Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Annex B to amended Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 respectively, are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.

Whereas:
The Commission has received a request, pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, to make imports of certain prepared or preserved citrus fruits (namely mandarins, etc.) originating in the People’s Republic of China subject to registration.
A. PRODUCT CONCERNED
(1) The product concerned by this registration is prepared or preserved mandarins (including tangerines and satsumas), clementines, wilkings and other similar citrus hybrids, not containing added spirit, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter, and as defined under CN heading 2008, originating in the People’s Republic of China (the product concerned), falling within CN codes 2008 30 55, 2008 30 75 and ex 2008 30 90.
B. REQUEST
(2) Having received a complaint from the Spanish National Federation of Associations of Processed Fruit and Vegetables (FNACV) (hereinafter ‘the applicant’), the Commission determined that there is sufficient evidence to justify initiation of a proceeding and therefore, pursuant to Article 5 of the basic Regulation, announced by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union (the ‘Notice of Initiation’) the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain prepared or preserved citrus fruits (namely mandarins, etc.) originating in the People’s Republic of China (2).
(3) The applicant also requests that imports of the product concerned are made subject to registration pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation so that measures may subsequently be applied against those imports from the date of such registration.
C. EXISTING MEASURES
(4) The product concerned is to a great extent currently subject to definitive safeguard measures imposed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 658/2004 (3). These measures will expire on 8 November 2007.
D. GROUNDS FOR THE REGISTRATION
(5) According to Article 7(1) of the basic Regulation, provisional measures may not be imposed earlier than 60 days from initiation. However, according to Article 10(4) of the basic Regulation, a definitive anti-dumping duty may be levied on products which were entered for consumption not more than 90 days prior to the date of application of provisional measures, provided that the conditions set out in that paragraph are fulfilled, and imports have been registered in accordance with Article 14(5). According to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, the Commission may, after consultation of the Advisory Committee, direct the customs authorities to take the appropriate steps to register imports, so that measures may subsequently be applied against those imports from the date of such registration. Imports may be made subject to registration following a request from the Community industry which contains sufficient evidence to justify such action.
(6) The request contains sufficient evidence to justify registration. This is further supported by evidence from other sources.
(7) As regards dumping, the Commission has at its disposal sufficient prima facie evidence that imports of the product concerned originating in the People’s Republic of China are being dumped, and that the exporters practice dumping. The anti-dumping complaint and request for registration contains evidence with regard to export prices relating to the 2006/2007 season. This is further supported by information emanating from Eurostat data and from several offers or statements of export prices emanating from a number of sources and addressed to a number of importers. The evidence regarding normal value, contained in the anti-dumping complaint and request for registration, at this stage and subject to further data becoming available during the investigation, consists of detailed data concerning domestic prices and costs of production from all or almost all of the producers in an analogue country. At this stage, this data, appropriately adjusted for estimated transport and other costs, would, on its face, appear to relate to the same product and time period and the same level of trade, and therefore would appear to be broadly comparable. As a whole, and given the extent of the dumping margin alleged, this evidence provides sufficient support at this stage that the exporters in question practice dumping.
(8) As regards injury, the Commission has at its disposal sufficient prima facie evidence that the exporters’ dumping practices are causing injury or would cause injury. This evidence consists of detailed data, contained in the anti-dumping complaint and request for registration and supported by information from other sources, concerning the key injury factors set out in Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation. Furthermore, the evidence relating to the previous safeguard investigation supports the view that, absent the safeguard measure, the volume of imports would increase significantly, and that the Community industry would suffer further injury.
(9) The Commission also has at its disposal sufficient prima facie evidence, contained in the anti-dumping complaint and request for registration and supported by information from other sources, that the importers were aware, or should have been aware, that the exporters practice dumping injurious to or likely to be injurious to the Community industry. A notice initiating an investigation into alleged injurious dumping has been published. Furthermore, several articles in the specialist press over an extended period of time suggest that the Community industry may suffer injury as a result of low priced imports from China. Finally, given the extent of the dumping that it would appear may be occurring, it is reasonable to conclude that the importers would be aware, or should be aware, of the situation.
(10) Furthermore, the Commission has at its disposal sufficient prima facie evidence that such injury is being caused or would be caused by massive dumped imports in a relatively short time which in light of the timing and the volume of the dumped imports and other circumstances (such as the rapid build-up of inventories) would be likely to seriously undermine the remedial effect of any definitive anti-dumping duties, unless such duties would be applied retroactively. This evidence, contained in the anti-dumping complaint and request for registration and supported by information from other sources, consists of information about the nature of the product, including its fungible and seasonal nature, and the fact that it is canned and may be easily stored for extended periods, and easily transported. This also makes it possible to rapidly build-up inventories. Furthermore, evidence from the safeguard investigation confirms the view that, absent any measure, the volume of imports is again likely to increase dramatically. This is particularly so, given that the expiry of the safeguard measure occurs shortly after the beginning of the canning season.
(11) Accordingly, the conditions for registration in this case are met.
E. PROCEDURE
(12) In the light of the above, the Commission has concluded that the applicant’s request contains sufficient evidence to make imports of the product concerned subject to registration, in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation.
(13) All interested parties are invited to make their views known in writing and to provide supporting evidence. Furthermore, the Commission may hear interested parties, provided that they make a request in writing and show that there are particular reasons why they should be heard.
F. REGISTRATION
(14) Pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product concerned should be made subject to registration in order to ensure that, should the investigation result in findings leading to the imposition of anti-dumping duties, those duties, can, if the necessary conditions are fulfilled, be levied retroactively in accordance with applicable legal provisions.
(15) Any future liability would emanate from the findings of the anti-dumping investigation. The allegations in the complaint requesting the initiation of an investigation exceed 50 % for dumping and 30 % for injury.
G. PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA
(16) Any personal data collected in this investigation will be treated in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (4),
The Customs authorities are hereby directed, pursuant to Article 14(5) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, to take the appropriate steps to register the imports into the Community of prepared or preserved mandarins (including tangerines and satsumas), clementines, wilkings and other similar citrus hybrids, not containing added spirit, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter, and as defined under CN heading 2008, originating in the People’s Republic of China, falling within CN codes 2008 30 55, 2008 30 75 and ex 2008 30 90 (TARIC codes 2008309061, 2008309063, 2008309065, 2008309067, 2008309069). Registration shall expire nine months following the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
All interested parties are invited to make their views known in writing, to provide supporting evidence or to request to be heard within 20 days from the date of publication of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 9 November 2007.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

| Council Regulation (EC) No 974/2001
of 14 May 2001
amending Regulation (EEC) No 3911/92 on the export of cultural goods
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(3),
Whereas:
(1) The establishment of Economic and Monetary Union and the changeover to the euro have an effect on the last subparagraph under heading B of the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 3911/92(4) laying down the values, expressed in ecu, of the cultural goods subject to the application of the Regulation. That subparagraph lays down that the date for the conversion of the said values into national currencies is to be 1 January 1993.
(2) Pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 1103/97 of 17 June 1997 on certain provisions relating to the introduction of the euro(5), any reference to the ecu in legal instruments became, as from 1 January 1999, a reference to the euro, after conversion at the rate of one to one. Without an amendment to Regulation (EEC) No 3911/92, and hence to the fixed exchange rate corresponding to the rate in force on 1 January 1993, the Member States having the euro as their currency would continue to apply different amounts converted on the basis of the exchange rates of 1993, and not the conversion rates irrevocably fixed on 1 January 1999, and this situation would persist as long as the conversion rule remained an integral part of the Regulation.
(3) The last subparagraph under heading B of the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 3911/92 should therefore be amended in such a way that, as from 1 January 2002, the Member States having the euro as their currency directly apply the values in euro laid down in Community legislation. For the other Member States, which will continue to convert these thresholds into national currencies, an exchange rate should be adopted on a suitable date before 1 January 2002, and provision should be made for those States to adapt that rate automatically and periodically in order to compensate for variations in the exchange rate between the national currency and the euro.
(4) It would appear that the value 0 (zero) under heading B of the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 3911/92, applicable as the financial threshold for certain categories of cultural objects, could be interpreted in such a way as to jeopardise the effective application of the Regulation. Whereas this value 0 (zero) means that goods belonging to the categories in question, whatever their value - even if it is negligible or zero - are to be considered "cultural objects" within the meaning of the said Regulation, certain authorities have interpreted it in such a way that the cultural object in question has no value at all, thereby depriving those categories of goods of the protection afforded by the Regulation.
(5) To avoid any confusion in this respect, therefore, the figure 0 should be replaced by a clearer expression which leaves no doubt as to the need to protect the goods in question,
In the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 3911/92, the text under heading B is hereby amended as follows:
1. The title "VALUE: 0 (zero)" shall be replaced by: "VALUE:
Whatever the value."
2. The last subparagraph, relating to the conversion into national currencies of the values expressed in ecu, is replaced by the following: "For the Member States which do not have the euro as their currency, the values expressed in euro in the Annex shall be converted and expressed in national currencies at the rate of exchange on 31 December 2001 published in the Official Journal of the European Communities. This countervalue in national currencies shall be reviewed every two years with effect from 31 December 2001. Calculation of this countervalue shall be based on the average daily value of those currencies, expressed in euro, during the 24 months ending on the last day of August preceding the revision which takes effect on 31 December. This method of calculation shall be reviewed, on a proposal from the Commission, by the Advisory Committee on Cultural Goods, in principle two years after the first application. For each revision, the values expressed in euro and their countervalues in national currency shall be published periodically in the Official Journal of the European Communities in the first days of the month of November preceding the date on which the revision takes effect."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall be applicable as from 1 January 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 of 20 November 2009 establishing a Community control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy (1), and in particular Article 36(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EU) No 53/2010 of 14 January 2010 fixing for 2010 the fishing opportunities for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, applicable in EU waters and, for EU vessels, in waters where catch limitations are required (2), lays down quotas for 2010.
(2) According to the information received by the Commission, catches of the stock referred to in the Annex to this Regulation by vessels flying the flag of or registered in the Member State referred to therein have exhausted the quota allocated for 2010.
(3) It is therefore necessary to prohibit fishing activities for that stock,
Quota exhaustion
The fishing quota allocated to the Member State referred to in the Annex to this Regulation for the stock referred to therein for 2010 shall be deemed to be exhausted from the date set out in that Annex.
Prohibitions
Fishing activities for the stock referred to in the Annex to this Regulation by vessels flying the flag of or registered in the Member State referred to therein shall be prohibited from the date set out in that Annex. In particular it shall be prohibited to retain on board, relocate, tranship or land fish from that stock caught by those vessels after that date.
Entry into force
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concerning additives in feedingstuffs (1), and in particular Articles 3, 9d(1) and 9e(1) thereof,
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 (2), and in particular Article 25 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition.
(2) Article 25 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 lays down transitional measures for applications for the authorisation of feed additives submitted in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC before the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) The applications for authorisation of the additives listed in the Annexes to this Regulation were submitted before the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(4) Initial comments on those applications, as provided for in Article 4(4) of Directive 70/524/EEC, were forwarded to the Commission before the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. Those applications are therefore to continue to be treated in accordance with Article 4 of Directive 70/524/EEC.
(5) The use of the enzyme preparation of endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase produced by Aspergillus niger (MUCL 39199) was provisionally authorised for the first time for chickens for fattening, by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1436/98 (3). New data were submitted in support of an application for authorisation without a time limit of that enzyme preparation. The assessment shows that the conditions laid down in Article 3a of Directive 70/524/EEC for such authorisation are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that enzyme preparation, as specified in Annex I, should be authorised without a time limit.
(6) The use of the enzyme preparation of endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase produced by Aspergillus aculeatus (CBS 589.94), endo-1,4-beta-glucanase produced by Trichoderma longibrachiatum (CBS 592.94), alpha-amylase produced by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (DSM 9553) and endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Trichoderma viride (NIBH FERM BP 4842) is authorised for chickens for fattening without a time limit by Commission Regulation (EC) No 358/2005 (4), and provisionally for turkeys for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2013/2001 (5). New data were submitted in support of an application to extend the authorisation of the use of this enzyme preparation to laying hens. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has delivered an opinion on the use of this preparation which concludes that it does not present a risk for this additional animal category. The assessment shows that the conditions laid down in Article 9e(1) of Directive 70/524/EEC for an authorisation of that preparation for that use are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that enzyme preparation, as specified in Annex II, should be authorised for four years.
(7) The use of the enzyme preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Trichoderma longibrachiatum (ATCC 2105), endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase produced by Trichoderma longibrachiatum (ATCC 2106) is authorised for chickens for fattening without a time limit by Commission Regulation (EC) No 833/2005 (6). New data were submitted in support of an application to extend the authorisation of the use of this enzyme preparation to turkeys for fattening. EFSA has delivered an opinion on the use of this preparation which concludes that it does not present a risk for this additional animal category. The assessment shows that the conditions laid down in Article 9e(1) of Directive 70/524/EEC for an authorisation of that preparation for that use are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that enzyme preparation, as specified in Annex II, should be authorised for four years.
(8) Data were submitted in support of an application for authorisation of the use of the enzyme preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase, produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 109.713) for chickens for fattening. EFSA has delivered an opinion on the use of this preparation which concludes that it does not present a risk for the consumer, the user, the animal category or the environment. The assessment shows that the conditions laid down in Article 9e(1) of Directive 70/524/EEC for an authorisation of that preparation for that use are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that enzyme preparation, as specified in Annex II, should be authorised for four years.
(9) The assessment of those applications shows that certain procedures should be required to protect workers from exposure to the additives set out in the Annexes. Such protection should be assured by the application of Council Directive 89/391/EEC of 12 June 1989 on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work (7).
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The preparation belonging to the group ‘Enzymes’, as specified in Annex I, is authorised for use without a time limit as additive in animal nutrition under the conditions laid down in that Annex.
The preparations belonging to the group ‘Enzymes’, as specified in Annex II, are authorised for use for four years as additive in animal nutrition under the conditions laid down in that Annex.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and
Having regard to Council Directive 76/769/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of dangerous substances and preparations (1), and in particular Article 2a thereof,
Whereas:
(1) According to Directive 76/769/EEC as amended by Directive 94/27/EC of the European Parliament and the Council (2), nickel and its compounds are not to be used in certain post assemblies for piercing and certain other products unless they conform to the requirements set out in Directive 76/769/EEC.
(2) The risk of sensitisation of humans to nickel by piercing post assemblies has been newly assessed in a targeted risk assessment; the risk assessment concluded that a migration limit for piercing post assemblies would be more appropriate than a content limit.
(3) The new rate of nickel release (migration limit) should be adjusted with the multiplication factor specified in EN 1811 to compensate inter-laboratory variations and measuring inaccuracies. The European Committee of Standardisation (CEN) is invited to review EN 1811 in particular regarding the adjustment factor and to prepare a revised standard without adjustment factor, or with a smaller adjustment factor, if appropriate.
(4) The risk assessment was referred to the Scientific Committee on Toxicity, Ecotoxicity and the Environment (CSTEE) for peer review and the CSTEE has confirmed that a nickel migration limit may induce lower risks of sensitisation than a nickel content limit.
(5) The provisions laid down by this Directive take into account the current state of knowledge, science and techniques.
(6) This Directive should apply without prejudice to Community legislation laying down minimum requirements for the protection of workers, in particular Council Directive 89/391/EEC of 12 June 1989 on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work (3), and Directive 2004/37/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to carcinogens or mutagens at work (Sixth individual Directive within the meaning of Article 16(1) of Directive 89/391/EEC) (4).
(7) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the adaptation to technical progress of the Directives on the removal of technical barriers to trade in dangerous substances and preparations,
Annex I to Directive 76/769/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.

| Decision No 1445/2000/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
of 22 May 2000
on the application of aerial-survey and remote-sensing techniques to the agricultural statistics for 1999 to 2003
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 285 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Acting in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 251 of the Treaty(2),
Whereas:
(1) Council Decision 94/753/EC of 14 November 1994 on the continued application of remote sensing to agricultural statistics during the period 1994 to 1998(3) lapsed on 31 December 1998.
(2) There is an especially felt need for information on land use and on the condition of crops in the context of new developments in the common agricultural policy and with a view to enlargement, in particular for the analysis of interactions between agriculture, the environment and the countryside.
(3) The detailed rules for implementing the measures contained in Decision 94/753/EC should be adjusted and reorganised in the light of the experience gained and the results achieved.
(4) In cooperation with the Member States concerned, an aerial-survey system should be introduced to collect the necessary data on land use and other variables of interest.
(5) Since the agrometeorological system for forecasting yields and the monitoring of crop condition are now at the operational stage, they should be separated from those measures requiring further research.
(6) The remote-sensing activities requiring further research and development in the period 1999 to 2003 are covered by the fifth framework programme in the field of research and development(4).
(7) Provision should already be made for incorporating into the operational activities covered by this Decision, where appropriate, the developments in methodology that may result from that research.
(8) It is also appropriate to provide that the Commission should be able to delegate the implementation of these measures, under its supervision, to Community or national bodies responsible for the production of agricultural statistics or to bodies recognised by them.
(9) The statistical measures employing aerial-survey and remote-sensing techniques comply with the principle of subsidiarity, to the extent that the Member States and the Commission share the responsibility for, and implementation of, the various measures in accordance with criteria of efficiency and feasibility.
(10) These measures contribute to improving the Community's statistical tools for framing, managing and monitoring the common agricultural policy.
(11) This Decision lays down, for the entire duration of the programme, a financial framework constituting the principal point of reference, within the meaning of point 1, second subparagraph, of the Declaration by the European Parliament, the Council and Commission of 6 March 1995(5), for the budgetary authority during the annual budgetary procedure.
(12) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Decision should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission(6),
1. Over a five-year period starting on 1 January 1999, an aerial-survey project shall be implemented at Community level in agricultural statistics. The use of remote-sensing shall also be continued, in particular with the agrometeorological system being made operational.
2. Taking into account data already collected by the Member States, the measures referred to in paragraph 1 shall be designed, at Community level and if possible in areas of interest to the Community, more specifically to:
- collect data needed to implement and monitor the common agricultural policy and analyse interactions between agriculture, the environment and the countryside,
- provide estimates of the areas under the principal crops,
- ensure that the condition of crops is monitored until harvesting, so as to enable early estimates of yields and production to be made.
3. After a three-year period starting on 1 January 1999, it shall be decided, in the light of experience and under the procedure laid down in Article 5(2), whether to continue with the measures, amend them for the remaining two years or terminate them.
The Commission shall ensure that these measures are implemented within available funding limits.
National bodies responsible for the production of agricultural statistics or bodies recognised by them may be involved on a voluntary basis in the implementation of these measures.
In accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 5(2), the Commission shall report annually to the Member States on the implementing arrangements, the methods used, the utilisation of appropriations, the evaluation of the results and the work programme for the following year.
The financial framework for the implementation of this programme for the period 1999 to 2003 is hereby set at EUR 12,5 million.
The annual appropriations shall be authorised by the budgetary authority within the limits of the financial perspective.
The measures necessary for the implementation of this Decision shall be adopted in accordance with the management procedure referred to in Article 5(2).
1. The Commission shall be assisted by the Standing Committee for Agricultural Statistics.
2. Where reference is made to this paragraph, Articles 4 and 7 of Decision 1999/468/EC shall apply, having regard to the provisions of Article 8 thereof.
The period laid down in Article 4(3) of Decision 1999/468/EC shall be set at three months.
By 31 July 2003 at the latest, the Commission shall present a report to the European Parliament and the Council on the implementation of these measures and on the use of the resources made available, accompanied, where appropriate, by any proposals on how aerial-survey and remote-sensing techniques may continue to be used for agricultural statistics.
This Decision shall take effect on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 January 1999 to 31 December 2003. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.666667 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
