THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 of 5 February 1979 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), and in particular Article 64 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas pursuant to Article 64 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 the necessary measures should be adopted to ensure uniform application of the Community provisions in the wine sector, particularly as regards wines covered by Council Regulation (EEC) No 338/79 of 5 February 1979 laying down special provisions relating to quality wines produced in specified regions (2) ; whereas Article 16 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 338/79 lays down that a quality wine produced in a specified region may be downgraded at the marketing stage only where the properties of the quality wine psr in question have deteriorated or altered as a result of a change noted during ageing, storage or transport;
Whereas it is therefore appropriate that the downgrading of a quality wine psr on the territory of a Member State other than that in which it originated should be carried out by a competent body of the Member State of origin ; whereas, to that end, direct cooperation should be ensured between the bodies responsible in the Member States for the supervision of the production and marketing of quality wines psr ; whereas it is necessary to lay down the rules for such cooperation ; whereas, however, in order to simplify the administrative task of the Member States, it should be possible for the competent body of the Member State on whose territory a small quantity of the quality wine psr in question is located to downgrade this quantity itself;
Whereas, to facilitate the task of the Member States, cooperation between the bodies responsible for the supervision of the production and marketing of quality wines psr should be coordinated in accordance with the rules laid down by Council Regulation (EEC) No 359/79 of 5 February 1979 on direct cooperation between the bodies designated by Member States to verify compliance with Community and national provisions in the wine sector (3);
Whereas certain administrative and technical questions relating to direct cooperation between the competent bodies of different Member States must be settled in accordance with Community rules ; whereas detailed rules of application must therefore be adopted;
Whereas the possibility should be provided for of amending the arrangements for downgrading, taking account of a report to be drawn up by the Commission on the basis of the experience acquired in the implementation of this Regulation,
This Regulation lays down measures regarding the relations which exist between the bodies assigned by the Member States to supervise the production and marketing of quality wines psr and the Commission with a view towards governing the downgrading of quality wines psr provided for in Article 16 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 338/79.
1. Where the characteristics of a quality wine psr have deteriorated in such a way that the wine is liable to be downgraded, the competent body of the (1)OJ No L 54, 5.3.1979, p. 1. (2)OJ No L 54, 5.3.1979, p. 48. (3)OJ No L 54, 5.3.1979, p. 136.
Member State on whose geographical territory such quality wine psr is located shall inform the competent body in the Member State of origin, which shall have the exclusive right of downgrading the quality wine psr in question.
In addition to the exchange of information: - samples may be sent to an official laboratory in the Member State of origin,
- a qualified expert from the Member State of origin may assist with the checks,
- various Member States may participate in concerted examinations,
- checks may be made on the keeping of the documents and on the references in the registers required under Article 53 of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79.
However, where the quality wine psr in question has undergone a compulsory official analytical and organoleptic examination in the Member State of origin, this exchange of information shall be supplemented by the sending of a sample of the quality wine psr in question ; where the quality wine psr is in a container of 60 litres or less, the sample shall bear the label under which the wine was marketed.
2. The competent body in receipt of a request shall inform the competent body making the request of its decision on the downgrading of the wine as soon as possible.
3. Where the total quantity of the wine in question does not exceed two hectolitres the competent authority of the Member State on whose geographical territory is located a quality wine psr, the properties of which have altered in such a way that it is liable to be downgraded, may itself decide to downgrade the wine in question.
4. Any natural or legal person or group of persons affected by a decision within the meaning of paragraph 2 or 3 may request the competent body of the Member State on whose geographical territory the quality wine psr is located that the decision be reviewed. Provided that it considers that the request for review is warranted, this body shall request the competent body of the Member State in which the quality wine psr originated to review its decision or shall itself review the decision, in the case specified in paragraph 3.
5. Cooperation between the competent bodies referred to in this Article shall take place in accordance with the rules laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 359/79.
1. Detailed rules for implementing this Regulation shall be adopted as regards: - exchange of information, bearing in mind the need to proceed rapidly,
- sampling and dispatch of samples by the competent body making the request and also acceptance of responsibility for their costs of analysis by that body,
- acceptance of responsibility by the competent body making the request for the expenses incurred by a qualified expert in a Member State other than that in whose service he is employed.
2. Each Member State shall notify the Commission by 30 April 1979 at the latest which bodies are authorized to downgrade a quality wine psr.
The Commission shall publish the names and addresses of the competent bodies in conjunction with the detailed rules of application.
3. Member States which have downgraded quality wines psr in any one year shall, by 31 March of the following year at the latest, forward to the Commission and the Member States in which such quality wines psr originated a communication setting out the quantities of each of the downgraded quality wines psr.
The Council, acting by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, shall decide, before 30 April 1981 and taking account of a report to be drawn up by the Commission on the basis of the experience acquired in the implementation of this Regulation, on any amendments to be made to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply as from 1 May 1979, except for Article 3 (2) thereof which shall apply as from its entry into force.
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 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine, ovine and caprine animals and swine, fresh meat or meat products from third countries (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 (2), and in particular Articles 21a and 22 thereof,
Whereas following the partition of Czechoslovakia, it is necessary to take into account the animal health situation in the new countries for imports of meat products and to amend Decision 91/449/EEC (3), as last amended by Decision 94/668/EC (4), accordingly;
Whereas, following a Community veterinary mission, it appears that notwithstanding the animal health situation, the Czech and Slovak Republics are covered by sufficiently well-structured and organized veterinary services; whereas the production of certain meat products for export to the Community will be supervised by an official veterinarian appointed by the Department of Veterinary Services;
Whereas vaccination against classical swine fever has ceased in the Czech Republic for more than 12 months; whereas, however outbreaks of classical swine fever have occurred in certain districts; whereas, however, a classical swine fever control programme in the districts of Benesov, Ceske Budejovice, Havlickuv Brod, Jihlava, Jindrichuv Hradec, Pelhrimov, Písek, Tábor, Trebic and Zdár nad Sazavou is in force; whereas therefore, pigmeat products other than those that have undergone a complete treatment can be imported only from the remainder of the Czech Republic;
Whereas vaccination against classical swine fever is carried out in the Slovak Republic and outbreaks of classical swine fever occur from time to time; whereas, therefore, pigmeat products other than those that have undergone a complete treatment cannot be imported from the Slovak Republic;
Whereas considering that the certification regime has been substantially amended, a period of time should be provided for its implementation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
Decision 91/449/EEC is amended as follows:
1. in Part II of Annex A, the name 'Czechoslovakia' is replaced by the names:
'Czech Republic (excluding pigmeat products form the districts of Benesov, Ceske Budejovice, Havlickuv Brod, Jihlava, Jindrichuv Hradec, Pelhrimov, Písek, Tábor, Trebic and Zdár nad Sazavou)'

(2) The requirements in the legislation of Switzerland on health inspection and monitoring of fishery products may be considered equivalent to those laid down in Directive 91/493/EEC.
(3) In particular, the "Bundesamt für Veterinärwesen/Office Vétérinaire Fédéral (BFV/OVF)" is capable of effectively verifying the implementation of the legislation in force.
(4) It is appropriate to lay down detailed rules concerning the health certificate which must, under Directive 91/493/EEC, accompany consignments of fishery products imported into the Community from Switzerland. In particular those rules must specify the definition of a model certificate, the minimum requirements regarding the language or languages in which it must be drafted and the status of the person empowered to sign it.
(5) The mark which must be affixed to packages of fishery products should give the name of the third country and the approval/registration number of the establishment, factory vessel, cold store or freezer vessel of origin, except for certain frozen products.

2. Each consignment shall be accompanied by a numbered original health certificate, duly completed, signed, dated and comprising a single sheet in accordance with the model in Annex I.
3. The products shall come from approved establishments, factory vessels or cold stores or from registered freezer vessels listed in Annex II.
4. Except in the case of frozen fishery products in bulk and intended for the manufacture of preserved foods, all packages shall bear the word "SWITZERLAND" and the approval/registration number of the establishment, factory vessel, cold store or freezer vessel of origin in indelible letters.
1. The certificate referred to in Article 2(2) shall be drawn up in at least one official language of the Member State in which the checks are carried out.

| COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1477/85
of 3 June 1985
adopting exceptional support measures for the market in pigmeat
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2966/80 (2), and in particular Article 20 thereof,
Whereas, because of the present health situation in the breeding sector in Belgium, exceptional support measures for the market in pigmeat have been laid down in respect of that Member State by Commission Regulations (EEC) No 686/85 (3), (EEC) No 772/85 (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 890/85 (5), and (EEC) No 978/85 (6), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1086/85 (7);
Whereas the health situation in Belgium calls for a strengthening of the restrictive measures on trade in pigmeat and pigmeat-based products; whereas the exceptional support measures for the Belgian market should be made applicable in the new infection zone comprising in addition to the communes of Tielt, Pittem, Meulebeke, Ardooie, Ingelmunster, Lendelede, Izegem, Roeselaere, Ledegem, Moorslede, Staden, Hooglede, Zonnebeke, Poelkapelle, Lichtervelde, Zwevezele and a radius of three kilometres around the sites of the two locations of the disease's occurrence in the communes of Reninge and Ichtegem, the communes of Torhout and Kortemark;
Whereas it is therefore appropriate to fix, for the infection zone, specific private storage aid for certain sensitive products in accordance with the detailed implementing rules for the granting of private storage aid in the pigmeat sector adopted by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1092/80 (8), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 201/85 (9); whereas to ensure effective action the time limit for placing in storage specified in Article 3 (1) (b) of that Regulation should be brought forward and provision should be made for the aid to be prefinanced when the placing in storage has been completed; whereas this will require the introduction of derogations from the provisions of Articles 5 (1) and 6 (3) of the Regulation;
Whereas it is not yet certain that the outbreak of African swine fever in Belgium has been contained; whereas there is still a risk that the pigmeat in storage will fetch much lower prices than normal, with a serious effect on the incomes of the producers concerned; whereas the financial risk to operators taking part in the private storage aid scheme should therefore be limited by providing for the taking over by the Belgian intervention agency of meat which is likely to be affected by the epizootic, so that there will be a sufficient guarantee that producers will receive a fair price;
Whereas a buying-in price should be fixed at which the meat is to be taken over by the intervention agency; whereas that price should be based on the market price recorded in Belgium within the meaning of Council Regulation (EEC) No 43/81 of 1 January 1981 establishing a list of representative markets for pigmeat in the Community (10) and should take account of the actual quality of pigmeat carcases sold on the Belgian market, the price being derived from those for grade II carcases within the meaning of the Community scale for grading pig carcases laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2760/75 (11);
Whereas, in cases where the meat is taken over by the intervention agency for the purposes of further processing, the financial risk to operators should no longer be covered in respect of aids which were fixed earlier for that purpose; whereas, accordingly, provision should be made for reducing the aid where the meat is bought in;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
1. As from 4 June until 21 June 1985 applications for private storage aid in the pigmeat sector may be made to the Belgian intervention agency in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 1092/80 and of this Regulation.
Only products coming from pigs reared and slaughtered in the infection zone can be eligible for the aid. The list of products which qualify for aid and the relevant amounts are set out in the Annex hereto.
2. If the period of storage is extended or curtailed, the amount of aid shall be adjusted accordingly. The amounts of the supplements and the deductions per month and per day are set out colums 7 and 8 of the Annex.
The minimum quantities per contract and per product shall be as follows:
(a) 10 tonnes for carcases and half carcases;
(b) 5 tonnes for all the other products.
By way of derogation from Article 3 (1) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1092/80 placing in storage must be carried out within 14 days of the date of conclusion of the contract.
The storage contract must impose, in addition to the obligations specified in Article 3 (2) (d) of Regulation (EEC) No 1092/80, an obligation to indicate on each batch placed in storage the name or names of the producer(s) who supplied the pigs the meat of which is covered by the contract.
By way of derogation from Article 5 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1092/80, the security shall be 100 % of the amounts of aid set out in the Annex.
By way of derogation from Article 6 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1092/80, the intervention agency, shall, on application by the party concerned, make an advance payment of 80 % of the aid once the products have been placed in storage in accordance with the storage contract.
1. Where following a decision by the national health authorities, meat cannot be released for consumption until it has undergone sufficient heat treatment to prevent any further spread of the epizootic or where it must be destroyed because of the risk of the latter, the Belgian intervention agency shall, at the request of the party concerned, buy in the products offered to it.
In such cases the buying-in price for carcases shall be the grade II market price in Belgium within the meaning of Council Regulations (EEC) No 2760/75 and (EEC) No 43/81 recorded during the week in which the contract was concluded, plus 10 %. In the case of other products, the buying-in price shall be determined on the basis of the carcase price, using the coefficients referred to in Article 10 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 expected for bellies without rind and cuts corresponding to 'middles' (ex 02.01 A III a) 6) for which the coefficient is fixed at 1,12. However, the buying-in price shall be reduced by an amount corresponding to 30 % of the final amount of aid granted to the storer.
2. Where buying in takes place, the period covered by the storage contract shall expire on the day which precedes buying in.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.666667 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

(notified under document number C(2001) 3623)
(2001/835/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 68/193/EEC of 9 April 1968 on the marketing of material for the vegetative propagation of the vine(1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular Article 14(1) thereof,
Having regard to the request submitted by France,
Whereas:
(1) On 31 August 2001 France submitted a request pursuant to Article 14 of Directive 68/193/EEC stating that the production of certain vine propagating material satisfying the requirements of Directive 68/193/EEC had been insufficient in 1999-2000 and was therefore not adequate to meet its needs.
(2) It is not possible to cover that demand satisfactorily with material satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive.
(3) France should therefore temporarily be authorised to permit the marketing of material of a category to which less stringent requirements than laid down in Directive 68/193/EEC apply, provided that certain conditions are complied with.
(4) According to the request from France the propagating material will be imported from Switzerland in the form of dormant buds to be used for grafting and the rooted grafts produced from such propagating material are then intended for re-export to Switzerland.
(5) Other Member States likely to supply France with such material should furthermore be authorised to permit its marketing to this end.
(6) The authorisation should only be used in accordance with the plant health conditions and requirements laid down by 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(2), as last amended by Commission Directive 2001/33/EC(3), and in any implementing measures made thereof.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
1. France shall be authorised to permit, for a period expiring on 15 March 2002, the marketing on its territory of a maximum of 215000 dormant buds for grafting harvested in Switzerland which do not satisfy the requirements laid down in Directive 68/193/EEC as regards certification and inspection of standard propagating material, subject to the conditions set out in paragraph 2.
2. The authorisation shall be granted for the following varieties and quantities:
>TABLE>
The official label for those dormant buds shall be brown and bear the words "less stringent requirements".
1. Member States other than France are also authorised to permit, on the terms set out in Article 1 and for the purposes intended by France, the marketing in their territories of the material authorised to be marketed pursuant to Article 1.
2. France shall act as a coordinator of the authorisations to be granted under Article 2(1), in order to ensure that the total amount does not exceed the maximum quantities as specified. Any Member State receiving an application under Article 2(1) shall immediately notify France of the amount covered by the application. France shall immediately inform the notifying Member State as to whether authorisation of the application would result in the maximum quantity being exceeded.
The authorisations pursuant to Articles 1 and 2 shall be without prejudice to Directive 2000/29/EC and any implementing measures thereof.
Member States shall immediately notify the Commission and the other Member States of the quantities of propagating material permitted to be marketed in their territories under this Decision.

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), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) An invitation to tender for the export refund on rice was issued pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1875/2003 (2).
(2) Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 584/75 (3) allows the Commission to fix, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 and on the basis of the tenders submitted, a maximum export refund. In fixing this maximum, the criteria provided for in Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 must be taken into account. A contract is awarded to any tenderer whose tender is equal to or less than the maximum export refund.
(3) The application of the abovementioned criteria to the current market situation for the rice in question results in the maximum export refund being fixed at the amount specified in Article 1.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The maximum export refund on wholly milled round grain rice to be exported to certain third countries pursuant to the invitation to tender issued in Regulation (EC) No 1875/2003 is hereby fixed on the basis of the tenders submitted from 10 to 13 May 2004 at 58,00 EUR/t.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 1999/45/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 May 1999 concerning the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous preparations(1), and in particular Article 20 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Directive 98/98/EC(2) adapting to technical progress for the 25th time Council Directive 67/548/EEC(3), as last amended by Directive 2000/33/EC(4), provides for new criteria and a new R phrase (R67) for vapours which may cause drowsiness and dizziness. The provisions set out in Annex V to Directive 1999/45/EC should therefore be supplemented.
(2) Commission Directive 2001/59/EC(5) introduces new wording for R phrase R40 when it is assigned to carcinogens of category 3. Consequently, the old wording of R phrase R40 will now be referred to as R68 and will continue to be used for mutagens of category 3 and for certain substances with non-lethal irreversible effects. It is therefore necessary to amend the references to R40 in Annex II to Directive 1999/45/EC.
(3) Directive 2001/59/EC introduces into Annex VI to Directive 67/548/EEC clearer advice on the classification of substances and preparations for corrosive effects. It is therefore necessary to supplement Annex II to Directive 1999/45/EC accordingly.
(4) It is known that cement preparations containing chromium (VI) may cause allergic reactions in certain circumstances. It is therefore desirable to require such preparations to display a warning label by supplementing Annex V to Directive 1999/45/EC.
(5) 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 established under Article 20 of Directive 1999/45/EC,
Directive 1999/45/EC is amended as follows:
1. In Annex II, Part A:
- in paragraph 3.3, the term "R40" is replaced by "R68",
- in paragraph 8.2, the term "R40" is replaced by "R68" each time it occurs.
2. In Annex II, Part B:
- in paragraph 2.1 (including Table II), the term "R40" is replaced by "R68" each time it occurs,
- in paragraph 2.2 (including Table II A), the term "R40" is replaced by "R68" each time it occurs,
- in paragraph 6.1, the term "R40" is replaced by "R68" the second time it occurs (i.e. in relation to mutagenic category 3),
- in Table VI, the term "R40" is replaced by "R68" in the fourth row, columns 1 and 3 (i.e. in relation with mutagenic category 3),
- in paragraph 6.2, the term "R40" is replaced by "R68" the second time it occurs (i.e. in relation to mutagenic category 3),
- in Table VI A, the term "R40" is replaced by "R68" in the fourth row, columns 1 and 3 (i.e. in relation with mutagenic category 3).
3. In Annex II, Part B, Tables IV and IV A are supplemented with the following note: ">TABLE>
NB:
Simple application of the conventional method to preparations containing substances classified as corrosive or irritant may result in under-classification or over-classification of the hazard, if other relevant factors (e.g. pH of the preparation) are not taken into account. Therefore, in classifying for corrosivity, consider the advice given in paragraph 3.2.5 of Annex VI to Directive 67/548/EEC and in the second and third indents of Article 6(3), of this Directive."
Annex V(B) to Directive 1999/45/EC is supplemented by the addition of new paragraphs 11 and 12 as in Annex I to this Directive.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 30 July 2002 at the latest. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
2. Member States shall apply the laws, regulations and administrative provisions referred to in paragraph 1:
(a) to preparations not within the scope of Council Directive 91/414/EEC(6) on the placing of plant protection products on the market, or European Parliament and Council Directive 98/8/EC(7) on the placing of biocidal products on the market as from 30 July 2002;
(b) and to preparations within the scope of Directive 91/414/EEC or Directive 98/8/EC as from 30 July 2004.
3. 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.
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2331/96 (2),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 71/97 of 10 January 1997 extending the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2474/93 on bicycles originating in the People's Republic of China to imports of certain bicycle parts from the People's Republic of China, and levying the extended duty on such imports registered pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 703/96 (3),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 88/97 of 20 January 1997 on the authorization of the exemption of imports of certain bicycle parts originating in the People's Republic of China from the extension by Council Regulation (EC) No 71/97 of the anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 2474/93 (4), and in particular Article 4 (4) thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
(1) After the entry into force of Regulation (EC) No 88/97, a number of bicycle assemblers submitted requests pursuant to Article 3 of that Regulation to be exempted from the application of the anti-dumping duty extended pursuant to Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 71/97 (hereinafter referred to as 'the extended anti-dumping duty`);
(2) Pursuant to Article 5 (1) and Article 11 (2) of Regulation (EC) No 88/97, payment of the customs debt in respect of the extended duty was suspended in respect of any imports of essential bicycle parts declared for free circulation by parties which had requested an exemption;
(3) The Commission published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (5) a list of parties for which the suspension of the payment of the extended anti-dumping duty had taken effect, specifying for each party the date of its request;
(4) Following receipt of those requests, the Commission requested additional information required for the determination of their admissibility and prescribed a time limit for the submission of that information;
(5) Some parties which had requested exemption from the extended anti-dumping duty subsequently withdrew their request and informed the Commission accordingly. No decision need be taken, therefore, as to the admissibility or the merits of those requests. However, the suspension of payment has to be lifted to allow collection of the anti-dumping duties due. The parties concerned are listed in Annex I;
(6) Other parties which had requested an exemption from the extended anti-dumping duty did not cooperate with the Commission within the period specified. Those parties are mentioned in Annex II. In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 88/97, the Commission informed those parties that it intended to reject their request for exemption from the extended duty, on the grounds that they had failed to provide the information requested for the determination of the admissibility of their request within the period specified. The parties were given an opportunity to comment;
(7) It is no longer justified for the parties listed in Annex I and Annex II to benefit from a suspension of the payment of the extended anti-dumping duty. The suspension should be lifted and the extended anti-dumping duty should be collected,
The requests for exemption from the extended anti-dumping duty made in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 88/97 by the parties listed in Annex II to this Decision are hereby rejected as inadmissible.
The suspension of payment of the extended anti-dumping duty pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 88/97 is hereby lifted for the parties listed in Annexes I and II to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States and to the parties listed in Annexes I and II. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), and in particular Article 11 (4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE
(1) By Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 (2), the Council imposed, inter alia, a definitive anti-dumping duty of 7,2 % on imports of synthetic staple fibres of polyesters, not carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning, commonly referred to as polyester synthetic fibres, currently classifiable within CN code 5503 20 00 and originating in India, with the exception of imports from five Indian exporters specifically mentioned which were either subject to a lesser rate of duty or no duty at all.
B. PROCEDURE
(2) The Commission received on application for a review of the measures currently in force from the Indian company Bongaigaon Refinery & Petrochemicals Ltd (hereinafter 'Bongaigaon` or 'the company`). Bongaigaon claimed that it was not related to any of the exporters or producers in India which are subject to the anti-dumping measures on the product, and that it had not exported the product during the period of investigation on which the measures are based. Furthermore, the company claimed that it had actually exported the product concerned to the Community and that it had also entered into irrevocable contractual obligations to export significant quantities to the Community.
(3) Bongaigaon provided, on request, evidence which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a review in accordance with Article 11 (4) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (hereinafter referred to as the 'Basic Regulation`). By Regulation (EC) No 2566/95 (3), the Commission, after consulting the Advisory Committee, initiated a review of Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 with regard to Bongaigaon and commenced its investigation.
By Regulation (EC) No 2566/95, the Commission also repealed the anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 with regard to imports of the product concerned produced and exported to the Community by Bongaigaon and directed customs authorities, pursuant to Article 14 (5) of the Basic Regulation, to take appropriate steps to register such imports.
(4) The product concerned in this review is the same as the one under consideration in Regulation (EEC) No 54/93.
(5) The Commission officially advised Bongaigaon and the representatives of the exporting country. Furthermore, it gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing but did not receive any reaction in this respect.
The Commission sent a questionnaire to Bongaigaon and received a proper and timely reply. The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed necessary for the purposes of the procedure and carried out a verification visit at the premises of Bongaigaon, India.
(6) The investigation of dumping covered the period from 1 July 1994 to 30 June 1995.
(7) The same methodology as that used in the original investigation was applied where circumstances had not changed.
C. RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION
1. New exporter qualification
(8) The investigation confirmed that Bongaigaon had not exported the product concerned during the period of investigation on which the measures subject to review are based, i.e. from 1 January 1990 to 31 August 1990. Exports of the product concerned to the Community started, in fact, only during the company's financial year 1993/1994.
In addition, it was found that Bongaigaon had no links, either direct or indirect, with the exporters involved in the previous procedure.
Accordingly, it is confirmed that the company should be considered as a new exporter in the sense of Article 11 (4) of the Basic Regulation and that its individual dumping margin should be determined.
2. Dumping
(i) Normal value
(9) Although the company's total domestic sales of the like product constituted more than 5 % of the volume of export sales to the Community, it was found that for the product type sold to the Community the domestic sales volume for the corresponding type was below this threshold and the prices could not be considered representative for the market concerned.
As the company has produced and sold on the domestic market, in the ordinary course of trade, other types of the like product than the one exported to the Community, normal value was constructed in accordance with Article 2 (3) and the first sentence of Article 2 (6) of the Basic Regulation. Consequently, normal value was calculated on the basis of all costs of production incurred by Bongaigaon when producing the product type in question plus a reasonable amount for selling, general and administrative expenses and profits, both established on the basis of the company's domestic sales of all types of the like product in the ordinary course of trade.
(ii) Export price
(10) Export sales of the product concerned were made directly to unrelated importers in the Community. Export prices were therefore determined on the basis of the prices actually paid by these unrelated importers, in accordance with Article 2 (8) of the Basic Regulation.
(iii) Comparison
(11) For the purpose of a fair comparison between normal value and export price, account was taken of differences affecting price comparability as provided for in Article 2 (10) of the Basic Regulation, namely import charges and indirect taxes, discounts, transport and insurance expenses, commission and credit costs. The comparison was made at an ex-works level.
(12) Bongaigaon requested that adjustments should be made for the following benefits received for its export performance but not granted in respect of its domestic sales:
- reduction of corporate tax due to export sales based on the Indian Income Tax Act,
- benefit for an export house,
- market development assistance following the Federation of Indian Export Organizations Scheme.
The claim was rejected as Bongaigaon could not demonstrate that these benefits, which accrued to the company only after the investigation period and which resulted in a reduction of its selling, general and administrative expenses, had any direct and measurable effect on prices and price comparability in the sense of Article 2 (10) of the Basic Regulation.
(iv) Dumping margin
(13) The comparison showed the existence of dumping with respect to the synthetic fibres of polyesters exported by Bongaigaon. The dumping margin, being equal to the amount by which the normal value exceeded the price for export to the Community, was established on the basis of a comparison of the constructed normal value as defined in recital 9 with the weighted average of prices for all export transactions of the product concerned to the Community during the period mentioned in recital 6. Expressed as a percentage of the free-at-Community-frontier price, the dumping margin amounted to 17,5 %.
3. Injury
(14) No request for a review of the findings on injury was made and there is no reason to doubt that the level of injury found in the original investigation has not decreased.
D. AMENDMENT OF THE MEASURES BEING REVIEWED
(15) In accordance with Article 9 (4) of the Basic Regulation, the amount of the anti-dumping duty should not exceed the dumping margin established and should be less if a lesser duty would be adequate to remove the injury to the Community industry.
(16) In the present case, the dumping margin established exceeds the injury margin. The latter was calculated by applying the same methodology as in the original investigation. This methodology is described in detail in recitals 50 to 54 of Regulation (EEC) No 1956/92 (4). The injury margin found amounted to 13 %. The anti-dumping duty to be imposed should therefore correspond to the injury margin established and Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 should be amended accordingly.
E. RETROACTIVE LEVYING OF THE ANTI-DUMPING DUTY
(17) As the review has resulted in a determination of dumping in respect of Bongaigaon, the anti-dumping duty applicable to this company shall also be levied retroactively up to the date of the initiation of the review against imports which, pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2566/95, have been subject to registration.
F. DISCLOSURE AND DURATION OF MEASURES
(18) Bongaigaon was informed of the facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to propose the amendment of Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 and were given an opportunity to comment. The Commission also officially advised the complainants mentioned in the initial investigation.
Bongaigaon made their views known in writing. They requested that the rate of profit should not be based on the domestic sales of all types of the like product made in the ordinary course of trade. They also repeated their claim for adjustments concerning:
- the reduction of corporate tax due to export sales based on the Indian Income Tax Act, and
- benefit for an export house.
These requests had to be rejected for the reasons set out in recitals 9 and 12.
(19) This review does not affect the date on which Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 will expire pursuant to Article 11 (2) of the Basic Regulation,
Article 1 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 is hereby amended as follows: under (a) the following shall be added at the end of the text:
'Bongaigaon Refinery & Petrochemicals Ltd
13 % (Taric additional code 8873);`.
The anti-dumping duty shall also be levied retroactively up to the date of the initiation of the review against those imports which, pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2566/95, have been subject to registration.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 77/101/EEC of 23 November 1976 on the marketing of straight feedingstuffs (1), as last amended by Directive 90/654/EEC (2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 79/373/EEC of 2 April 1979 on the marketing of compound feedingstuffs (3), as last amended by Directive 96/24/EC (4), and in particular Article 10 (e) thereof,
Whereas cases of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) have been reported in some Member States; whereas scrapie is also known to exist in some Member States; whereas BSE and scrapie agents may be transmitted by the oral route;
Whereas BSE in bovine animals is considered to originate from the use in feed of protein obtained from ruminants, constituting a vector for the transmission of agents of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies and not effectively treated to inactivate such agents;
Whereas, to protect ruminants from the health risks arising from the fact that methods of treating protein could not always ensure that the agents were totally inactivated, the Commission adopted Decision 94/381/EC of 27 June 1994 concerning certain protection measures with regard to bovine spongiform encephalopathy and the feeding of mammalian derived protein (5), as last amended by Decision 95/60/EC (6); whereas that instrument bans the feeding to ruminants of protein obtained from mammalian tissue while laying down that some products are to be exempted given that they present no health risk;
Whereas, given the health risks associated with the feeding to ruminants of feedingstuffs containing infected protein derived from mammalian tissue and the fact that the transmission of the disease to humans cannot be ruled out, the Council decided at its meeting of 1 to 3 April 1996 to adopt additional measures to protect human and animal health;
Whereas, for practical reasons and for the sake of legal consistency, Commission Decision 95/274/EC of 10 July 1995 amending Decision 91/516/EEC establishing a list of ingredients whose use is prohibited in compound feedingstuffs (7) prohibits the use of protein derived from mammalian tissue in compound feedingstuffs for ruminants;
Whereas Directives 77/101/EEC and 79/373/EEC lay down general and specific rules for the marketing and labelling of straight and compound feedingstuffs; whereas, to prevent the users of feedingstuffs containing protein derived from certain tissue of mammals from feeding them to ruminants through ignorance of current feedingstuffs and veterinary rules, appropriate labelling of such feedingstuffs must call attention to the prohibition on their use in ruminant feed; whereas Directive 77/101/EEC will be repealed by Council Directive 96/25/EC (8) on the circulation of feed materials, and similar measures will therefore also have to be laid down in Directive 96/25/EC;
Whereas the provisions laid down shall apply without prejudice to more stringent provisions which some Member States may have adopted as permitted by Article 1 (2) of Council Directive 90/667/EEC of 27 November 1990 laying down the veterinary rules for the disposal and processing of animal waste, for its placing on the market and for the prevention of pathogens in feedstuffs of animal or fish origin and amending Directive 90/425/EEC (9);
Whereas Member States applying more stringent prohibitions must adapt the provisions on labelling in accordance with the prohibitions applying in those Member States;
Whereas the categories of ingredients listed in Commission Directive 91/357/EEC of 13 June 1991 laying down the categories of ingredients which may be used for the purposes of labelling compound feedingstuffs for animals other than pet animals (10) allow several ingredients to be grouped under a common description; whereas, however, livestock farmers must have accurate and meaningful information on compound feedingstuffs containing ingredients comprising protein derived from mammalian tissue; whereas the category 'Land animal products` pertaining to that group of ingredients should therefore be deleted from the labelling of compound feedingstuffs; whereas, consequently, feedingstuff producers must give an accurate description of the ingredients covered by that category since they no longer fall within any of the categories set out in the Annex to Directive 91/357/EEC;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Feedingstuffs,
The provisions of this Directive shall apply without prejudice to Decision 94/381/EC.
Amendment to Directive 77/101/EEC
The following point is hereby added to Part A of the Annex to Directive 77/101/EEC:
'3. Labelling of straight feedingstuffs comprising protein derived from mammalian tissue.
3.1. The labelling of straight feedingstuffs comprising protein derived from mammalian tissue must contain the following statement: "This straight feedingstuff comprises protein derived from mammalian tissue the feeding of which to ruminants is prohibited".

- dried plasma and other blood products.
3.2. Where a Member State prohibits the use of protein derived from mammalian tissue as referred to in 3.1, first sentence, in feedingstuffs for certain animals other than ruminants as permitted by Article 1 (2) of Council Directive 90/667/EEC (*), the statement required in 3.1 must mention in addition the other species or categories of animals to which it has extended the prohibition on the use of the products in question.

Amendment to Directive 79/373/EEC
The following point is hereby added to Part A of the Annex to Directive 79/373/EEC:
'7. Labelling of compound feedingstuffs containing protein derived from mammalian tissue.
7.1. The labelling of compound feedingstuffs containing protein derived from mammalian tissue and intended for animals other than pets must contain the following statement: "This compound feedingstuff contains protein derived from mammalian tissue the feeding of which to ruminants is prohibited".
This does not apply to compound feedingstuffs which contain no protein derived from mammalian tissue other than the following:
- milk and milk products,
- gelatin,
- amino acids obtained from hides and skins by a process which involves exposure of the material to a pH of 1 to 2 followed by a pH of > 11, followed by heat treatment at 140 °C for 30 minutes at 3 bar,

| COMMISSION DECISION of 29 April 1992 on a transitional guidance programme for the fishing fleet (1992) of Ireland pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 (Only the English text is authentic) (92/364/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 of 18 December 1986 on Community measures to improve and adapt structures in the fisheries and aquaculture sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3944/90 (2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas, on 30 April 1991, the Government of Ireland forwarded to the Commission a multiannual guidance programme for the fishing fleet for the period 1992 to 1996, hereinafter referred to as 'the programme', as required by Article 3 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86; whereas it forwarded at a later date additional information concerning the programme;
Whereas it is necessary to consider whether, having regard to the foreseeable trend in fishery resources, the market for fishery and aquaculture products, the measures adopted under the common fisheries policy and the guidelines for the latter, the programme fulfils the conditions laid down in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 and constitutes a suitable framework for Community and national financial aid for the sector concerned;
Whereas the objectives of the previous programme approved by Commission Decision 88/142/EEC (3), as amended by Decision 91/543/EEC (4), constitute the reference basis for assessing the actual development recorded and the effort still needed to ensure that the Community objectives are achieved;
Whereas the objectives of the guidance programme for 1991 have not been uniformly achieved; whereas the current or likely situation as regards availability of fish in conjunction with the activities of the fleet concerned does not allow for any adjustment of the forecast on the basis of which these objectives were determined and approved; whereas the efforts made to adapt the fleet should therefore be sustained and strengthened over the period 1992 to 1996, in view of the fact that availability of fish continues to deteriorate;
Whereas the scope of the planned modernization efforts implies a substantial improvement in the overall performance of the fleet concerned which should be taken into account when assessing the relationship to be achieved by the end of the programme period between fleet capacity and fish availability;
Whereas the development recorded should be monitored on a regular basis so as to improve or adjust the fishery support measures that accompany the implementation of the programme;
Whereas any development that does not comply with the programme objectives would run counter to the objectives of the common fisheries policy; whereas, therefore, certain specific measures undertaken under this programme may not warrant public financial assistance; whereas, in this context, approval of the programme should only be effective where the limitations and conditions upon which such approval was made conditional are complied with;
Whereas it is important that the overall reduction in fishing effort judged to be necessary in order to adapt the Community fleet to available resources should reflect significant reductions in particular segments of that fleet where an imbalance is most apparent; whereas there is insufficient information available at present to achieve comprehensive segmentation of the fleet in accordance with stocks and zones fished; whereas a broader range of parameters should therefore be developed to evaluate fishing effort as well as fleet capacity;
Whereas the Commission cannot approve programmes for the full period until adequate information is available to Member States to permit this new approach and additional time will be required to execute the work programme necessary to complete this process;
Whereas it is not appropriate to interrupt the process of reduction of the fleet inherent in the guidance programmes; whereas transitional programmes, for the period 1 January to 31 December 1992, should therefore be approved;
Whereas further reduction in fleet capacity is needed in view of the present state of the fish stocks; whereas available information indicates that a minimum reduction of 2 % expressed in tonnage and engine power, based on the objectives for the end of 1991, is necessary to compensate for technological progress; whereas in addition to that reduction, a certain percentage reduction is also necessary for catching-up, in the case of those Member States which have not reached the 1991 objectives;
Whereas the Standing Committee for the Fishing Industry have not given an opinion on the measures provided for in the present decision on which it has been consulted,
A transitional guidance programme for the fishing fleet covering the period up to the end of 1992 is hereby approved subject to the limitations and conditions set out in this Decision and provided that those limitations and conditions are complied with.
At the latest by the end of July 1992 and the end of February 1993, Ireland shall forward the Commission, in respect of each category of vessel defined in the programme, information on the number of vessels commissioned and withdrawn and on the tonnage and engine power added and withdrawn during the six-month period ending on the preceding 30 June or 31 December.
The approval referred to in Article 1 shall only be effective where the development of the fleet complies with the objectives of the programme as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Decision shall be without prejudice to any Community financial aid that may be granted to individual investment projects.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1940/2004
of 10 November 2004
determining the world market price for unginned cotton
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Protocol 4 on cotton, annexed to the Act of Accession of Greece, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1050/2001 (1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton (2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to the historical relationship between the price recorded for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton. That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying the cotton aid scheme (3). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling 17,377 EUR/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 11 November 2004.
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 REGULATION (EU) No 303/2014
of 25 March 2014
amending Council Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 establishing additional customs duties on imports of certain products originating in the United States of America
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 of 25 April 2005 establishing additional customs duties on imports of certain products originating in the United States of America (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) As a result of the United States’ failure to bring the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act (CDSOA) in compliance with its obligations under the World Trade Organization (WTO) agreements, Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 imposed a 15 % ad valorem additional customs duty on imports of certain products originating in the United States of America as from 1 May 2005. In conformity with the WTO authorisation to suspend the application of concessions to the United States, the Commission is to adjust the level of suspension annually to the level of nullification or impairment caused by the CDSOA to the European Union at that time.
(2) The CDSOA disbursements for the most recent year for which data are available relate to the distribution of anti-dumping and countervailing duties collected during the Fiscal Year 2013 (1 October 2012-30 September 2013). On the basis of the data published by the United States’ Customs and Border Protection, the level of nullification or impairment caused to the Union is calculated at USD 872685.
(3) The level of nullification or impairment and consequently of suspension has decreased. However, the level of suspension cannot be adjusted to the level of nullification or impairment by adding or removing products from the list in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 673/2005. As a consequence, in accordance with Article 3(1)(e) of that Regulation, the Commission should keep the list of products in Annex I unchanged and amend the rate of the additional duty in order to adjust the level of suspension to the level of nullification or impairment. The three products listed in Annex I should therefore be maintained on the list and the rate of additional import duty should be amended and set at 0,35 %.
(4) The effect of a 0,35 % ad valorem additional import duty on imports from the United States of the products in Annex I represents, over one year, a value of trade that does not exceed USD 872 685.
(5) To make sure that there are no delays in the application of the amended rate of additional import duty, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion delivered by the Committee on Trade Retaliation,
Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 is amended as follows:
(1) Article 2 is replaced by the following:
(2) Annex I is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 May 2014.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas:
(1) Article 3 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that, where prices within the Community are higher than world market prices, the difference between these prices may be covered by a refund when olive oil is exported to third countries.
(2) The detailed rules for fixing and granting export refunds on olive oil are contained in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 616/72(3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2962/77(4).
(3) Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund must be the same for the whole Community.
(4) In accordance with Article 3(4) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, the refund for olive oil must be fixed in the light of the existing situation and outlook in relation to olive oil prices and availability on the Community market and olive oil prices on the world market. However, where the world market situation is such that the most favourable olive oil prices cannot be determined, account may be taken of the price of the main competing vegetable oils on the world market and the difference recorded between that price and the price of olive oil during a representative period. The amount of the refund may not exceed the difference between the price of olive oil in the Community and that on the world market, adjusted, where appropriate, to take account of export costs for the products on the world market.
(5) In accordance with Article 3(3) third indent, point (b) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, it may be decided that the refund shall be fixed by tender. The tendering procedure should cover the amount of the refund and may be limited to certain countries of destination, quantities, qualities and presentations.
(6) The second indent of Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund on olive oil may be varied according to destination where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The refund must be fixed at least once every month. It may, if necessary, be altered in the intervening period.
(8) It follows from applying these detailed rules to the present situation on the market in olive oil and in particular to olive oil prices within the Community and on the markets of third countries that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(9) The Management Committee for Oils and Fats has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 257/2007
of 9 March 2007
derogating from Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 as regards proof that customs formalities for importation of milk and milk products in third countries have been completed
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1), and in particular the third indent of Article 31(10) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The third indent of Article 31(10) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 stipulates that in the case of differentiated refunds the refund is to be paid on presentation of proof that the products have reached the destination indicated on the licence or another destination for which a refund was fixed. Exceptions may be made to this rule in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 42 of the same Regulation, provided conditions are laid down which offer equivalent guarantees.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 351/2004 of 26 February 2004 fixing the export refunds on milk and milk products (2) has introduced refunds differentiated according to destination for all milk products from 27 February 2004.
(3) Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 of 15 April 1999 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural products (3) indicates which documents may serve as proof that customs formalities for importation have been completed in a third country in cases where the refund rate is differentiated according to destination. Under that Article, the Commission may decide, in certain specific cases to be determined, that proof of import as referred to in that Article may be furnished by a specific document or in any other way.
(4) Since subjecting the payment of refunds to the requirements of Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 entails a substantial change in the administrative procedures for both the national authorities and exporters, it has administrative implications and represents a significant financial burden. Obtaining the proof referred to in Article 16 of that Regulation can pose considerable administrative difficulties in some countries. Furthermore, the particular conditions of export of dairy products may render obtaining such proofs even more difficult and burdensome.
(5) To alleviate some of the administrative and financial constraints imposed on exporters, and in order to allow the authorities and exporters to set up the new arrangements for the products concerned and introduce the procedures needed to ensure that all the formalities to be completed run smoothly, Commission Regulation (EC) No 423/2006 of 13 March 2006 derogating from Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 as regards proof that customs formalities for importation of milk and milk products in third countries have been completed (4) as provided for in Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999, provides for a transitional period during which the proof that customs formalities for importation have been completed is made easier. That period expired on 31 December 2006.
(6) However, in many of the countries of destination appropriate procedures and adequate means to provide for the necessary documents are still not in place. In order to prevent traders from not being granted the export refund for that reason, it is necessary to continue to provide for a transitional regime.
(7) It is appropriate to remind the provisions of Article 20 of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 allowing the competent authorities of the Member States, in case any doubt exists as to the destination of the exported products, to require additional evidence for all refunds proving to their satisfaction that the product has actually been placed on the market in the importing third country.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
1. In the case of exports of products falling within CN codes 0401 to 0405 carried out under Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 for which the exporter is unable to provide the proof referred to in Article 16(1) of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999, the product shall be deemed to have been imported into a third country on presentation of a copy of the transport document and one of the documents listed in Article 16(2) of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999.
2. For the purposes of applying Article 20 of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 Member States shall take into account the provisions laid down in paragraph 1 of this Article.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply to export declarations accepted as from 1 January 2007 until 31 December 2007.

Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products in the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) The refunds must be fixed taking into account the factors referred to in Article 1 of 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 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).
(3) As far as wheat and rye flour, groats and meal are concerned, when the refund on these products is being calculated, account must be taken of the quantities of cereals required for their manufacture. These quantities were fixed in Regulation (EC) No 1501/95.

| COMMISSION DECISION of 6 June 1997 concerning the placing on the market of genetically modified swede-rape (Brassica napus L. oleifera Metzg. MS1, RF1), pursuant to Council Directive 90/220/EEC (Text with EEA relevance) (97/392/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/220/EEC of 23 April 1990 on the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms (1), as amended by Commission Directive 94/15/EC (2), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas Articles 10 to 18 of Directive 90/220/EEC lay down a Community procedure enabling the competent authority of a Member State to give consent to the placing on the market of products containing, or consisting of, genetically modified organisms;
Whereas, according to that procedure, Commission Decision 96/158/EC (3) was adopted concerning the placing on the market of hybrid, herbicide-tolerant swede-rape seeds (Brassica napus L. oleifera Metzg. MS1Bn Ă RF1Bn) and relating to the consent of the competent authority of the United Kingdom to the placing on the market of that product solely for the purpose of growing it in order to obtain seeds; whereas, subsequent to that Decision, another notification concerning the same product has been received by the competent authority of France from the same notifier, Plant Genetic Systems (ref. C/F/95/05/01/A), requesting that consent be given also for growing and handling in the environment before and during processing to non-viable fractions;
Whereas the competent authority of France has subsequently forwarded the dossier thereon to the Commission with a favourable opinion;
Whereas the competent authorities of other Member States have raised objections to the said dossier;
Whereas, therefore, in accordance with Article 13 (3) of Directive 90/220/EEC, the Commission is required to take a decision in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 21 of that Directive;
Whereas the Commission, having examined each of the objections raised in the light of the scope of Directive 90/220/EEC and the information submitted in the dossier, has reached the following conclusions:
- in cases of products intended for use as human food or animal feed, the risk assessment pursuant to Directive 90/220/EEC is concerned with the assessment of whether the genetic modification could result in any toxic or harmful effects for human health or the environment,
- there is no reason to believe that there will be any adverse effects on human health and the environment from the introduction into swede-rape of the genes coding for phosphinotricin acetyl transferase and for neomycin phosphotransferase II,
- there are no safety reasons for labelling which states that the product has been obtained by genetic modification techniques,
- the label should mention that the product has increased tolerance to the herbicide glufosinate ammonium;
Whereas the authorization of chemical herbicides applied to plants and the assessment of the impact of their use on human health and the environment falls within the scope of Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (4), as last amended by Commission Directive 96/68/EC (5), and not within the scope of Directive 90/220/EEC;
Whereas Article 11 (6) and Article 16 (1) of Directive 90/220/EEC provide additional safeguards if new information on risks of the product becomes available;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established pursuant to Article 21 of Directive 90/220/EEC,
1. Without prejudice to other Community legislation, in particular Council Directives 69/208/EEC (6) and 70/457/EEC (7), and subject to paragraph 2 of this Article, consent shall be given by the competent authority of France to the placing on the market of the following product, notified by Plant Genetic Systems (ref. C/F/95/05/01/A):
seeds of hybrid swede-rape (Brassica napus L. oleifera Metzg.) derived from crosses using:
(a) the progeny of the male sterile swede-rape line MS1 (B91-4) cultivar Drakkar containing the barnase gene from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens coding for ribonuclease, the bar gene from Streptomyces hygroscopicus coding for phosphinothricin acetyl transferase, the neo gene from Escherichia coli coding for neomycin phosphotransferase II, the promoter PSsuAra from Arabidopsis thaliana, the promoter PNos from Agrobacterium tumefaciens, the promoter PTA29 from Nicotiana tabacum; and
(b) the progeny of the fertility restoration swede-rape line RF1 (B93-101) cultivar Drakkar containing the barstard gene from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens coding for ribonuclease inhibitor, the bar gene from Streptomyces hygroscopicus coding for phosphinothricin acetyl transferase, the neo gene from Escherichia coli coding for neomycin phosphotransferase II, the promoter PSsuAra from Arabidopsis thaliana, the promoter PNos from Agrobacterium tumefaciens, the promoter PTA29 from Nicotiana tabacum.
2. The consent shall cover any progeny derived from crosses of the product with any traditionally bred swede-rape.
It shall cover the placing on the market of the product for the intended uses of growing and handling in the environment before and during processing to non-viable fractions.
Without prejudice to other labelling required by Community legislation, the label of each package of seeds for sowing shall indicate that the product has increased tolerance to the herbicide glufosinate ammonium.

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1991/97 of 13 October 1997 repealing the anti-dumping measures imposed on imports of disodium carbonate originating in the United States of America
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), hereinafter referred to as 'the Basic Regulation`, and in particular Articles 9 and 11 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE
(1) By Regulation (EC) No 2381/95 (2), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of disodium carbonate originating in the USA and decided to collect definitively the provisional duty imposed.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 2381/95 envisaged that the Commission would conduct a review of the measures after one year from the date of their imposition in order to examine, in particular, the situation on the Community soda ash market and the position of users of soda ash in the Community.
(3) A request for an interim review of the measures in question under Article 11 (3) of the Basic Regulation was lodged on 13 July 1996 by four United States producers/exporters, namely FMC Corporation, General Chemical (Soda Ash) Partners, North American Chemical Company and OCI Chemical Corporation, as provided for by the Commission's 'Notice regarding the application of anti-dumping measures in force in the Community following enlargement to include Austria, Finland and Sweden` (95/C 40/07) (3).
B. REVIEW
(4) Based on the above, the Commission decided to initiate, on its own initiative, an interim review of the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports of disodium carbonate originating in the USA pursuant to Article 11 (3) of the Basic Regulation (4).
C. PRODUCT UNDER CONSIDERATION AND LIKE PRODUCT
1. Product under consideration
(5) The product under consideration is disodium carbonate (soda ash), which is characterized by having as its principal component NA2CO3 (Sodium Carbonate anhydrous). It falls within CN code 2836 20 00.
(6) The main uses of soda ash are in the following industries: glass, steel, chemical, detergent, paper and pulp, food and water treatment.
2. Like product
(7) It was established that the soda ash produced and sold in the Community and that produced in the USA and sold therein and exported to the Community were alike as regards their essential basic physical and technical characteristics and their potential use. Consequently, all these products are considered a like product within the meaning of Article 1 (4) of the Basic Regulation.
D. DEFINITION OF COMMUNITY INDUSTRY
(8) The Community industry consists of the following producers, all members of the complainant European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC), which cooperated in the investigation:
- Solvay Ăsterreich A.G. (A),
- Solvay SA (B),
- Akzo Chemicals BV (NL),
- Solvay SA (F),
- RhĂ´ne-Poulenc SA (F),
- Matthes & Weber GmbH (D),
- Solvay Alkali GmbH (D),
- Sodawerk Stassfurt GmbH (D),
- Solvay SA, Milano (I),
- Solvay Portugal Productos Quimicos SA (P),
- Solvay SA (ES),
- Brunner Mond (UK) Ltd (UK).
E. WITHDRAWAL OF SUPPORT FOR THE PROCEEDING
(9) On 8 April 1997 four Community producers, representing around 80 % of total Community production of soda ash, withdrew their support for the anti-dumping proceeding and consequently for the ongoing review investigation for reasons which are particular to the position of these companies on the Community market. Two Community producers, representing around 20 % of total Community production, continued to support the proceeding and the continuation of the investigation.
(10) This situation occurred at a point in time when the investigation on dumping and injury was not entirely completed.
F. ANALYSIS
(11) The Council considers that, in the light of the provisions of Articles 3 (1), 4 (1) and 5 (4) of the Basic Regulation, a proceeding must be terminated where it is no longer supported by Community producers whose collective output represents a major proportion of the total Community production, unless this termination would not be in the interest of the Community. In accordance with the abovementioned provisions, this major proportion consists of 25 % of the total Community production of the like product.
(12) One producer has argued that the termination of the proceeding is not in the Community interest since it would leave the Community industry unprotected in case of sporadic dumping by the US producers, as took place in the past. This could have a negative impact on the economic, financial and employment situation of the Community industry as well as on the significant investments made. It was further argued that at least the measures in force should only be suspended for nine months in accordance with Article 14 (4) of the Basic Regulation.
(13) The arguments submitted by the producer concerned can be summarised in that a non-major proportion of the Community industry would be injured if the proceeding is terminated. This alone is, however, not a sufficient reason to continue anti-dumping proceedings on the basis of Articles 3 (1), 4 (1) and 5 (4) of the Basic Regulation. No particular Community interest aspects were put forward why measures should be continued in spite of the withdrawal of support of other producers. For these reasons the above arguments have to be rejected. As far as the request for suspension of the measures is concerned, no arguments were put forward showing that the conditions in Article 14 (4) of the Basic Regulation are met. Therefore, the request for a suspension could not be accepted either.
G. CONCLUSIONS

The anti-dumping measures imposed by Regulation (EC) No 2381/95 on imports of disodium carbonate (soda ash), falling within CN code 2836 20 00 and originating in the United States of America, are hereby repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force as from the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organisation of the market in wine (1), and in particular Article 73(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 70(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 provides that the products referred to in Article 1(2)(a) and (b) of that Regulation may only be imported if accompanied by a certificate attesting that they comply with the provisions on production, release for free circulation and, where appropriate, disposal for direct human consumption applying in the third country in which they originate;
Whereas Article 73(1) of that Regulation stipulates that, if the imported products in question have undergone oenological practices not allowed by Community rules or do not comply with the provisions of that Regulation or of those adopted pursuant thereto, they may not, except by way of a derogation, be offered or disposed of for direct human consumption; whereas the Council derogated from this principle by Regulation (EEC) No 1873/84 (2); whereas the derogation expires on 31 December 1998;
Whereas negotiations are currently under way between the Community, represented by the Commission, and the United States of America with a view to reaching an agreement on trade in wine; whereas the negotiations involve, in particular the import conditions and the oenological practices of each party and also the protection of appellation as to origin; whereas the intentions expressed by the two parties indicate that the adoption of an agreement satisfactory to both parties can be expected within a reasonable time; whereas to facilitate the smooth progress of these negotiations the American oenological practices referred to in paragraph 1(b) of the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 1873/84 should continue to be authorised as a transitional measure until the entry into force of the agreement resulting from the said negotiations but not later than 31 December 2003;
Whereas to avoid any deadlock in negotiations leading to the permanent introduction of the oenological practices concerned, a mechanism should be set up whereby the Council can verify the actual sate of progress of the negotiations; whereas the Commission should therefore keep the Council regularly informed of progress,
In the second subparagraph of Article 1(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1873/84, 'until 31 December 1998` shall be replaced by 'until the entry into force of the agreement resulting from the negotiations with the United States of America on an agreement on trade in wine, but not later than 31 December 2003. The Commission shall keep the Council regularly informed of the progress of these negotiations, and submit to the latter a report not later than 31 March 2000, together with appropriate proposals, if necessary`.

Whereas the Community is a Contracting Party to the International Convention on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System, hereinafter referred to as the 'harmonized system', which replaces the Convention of
15 December 1950 on Nomenclature for the Classification of Goods in Customs tariffs;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) N° 2658/87 (3) established, from 1 January 1988, a combined goods nomenclature based on the harmonized system which will meet the requirements both of the Common Customs Tariff and of the external trade statistics of the Community;
Whereas, as a result, it is necessary to express the descriptions of goods and tariff heading numbers which appear in Regulation (EEC) N° 2777/75 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) N° 1475/86 (5), according to the terms of the combined nomenclature based on the harmonized system;
Whereas certain edible flours and meals of meat or meat offal are classified in subheadings of heading N° 02.06 of the Common Customs Tariff at present in force, which are covered by Regulation (EEC) N° 2777/75; whereas, in the combined nomenclature, by way of simplification, a single subheading has been established to cover all edible flours and meals of meat or meat offal; whereas it is desirable that the said flours and meals be covered by Council Regulation

Whereas certain homogenized preparations of meat, meat offal or blood, preparations of animal blood, and stuffed pasta containing more than 20 % by weight of sausages and the like, meat and meat offal, including fats, are classified in subheadings of heading N° 16.02 of the Common Customs Tariff at present in force, which are covered by Regulation (EEC) N° 2777/75; whereas, in the combined nomenclature, by way of simplification, single subheadings have been established for each of the aforementioned preparations; whereas it is desirable that the said preparations be covered by Council Regulation (EEC) N° 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat (8), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) N° 3906/87 (9); whereas, as a result, they should no longer be covered by Regulation (EEC) N° 2777/75;
Whereas numerous regulations in the poultrymeat sector must be adapted to take account of the use of the new nomenclature; whereas, under Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) N° 2658/87, the changes made may be of a technical nature only; whereas, accordingly, a provision should be introduced whereby all other adjustments to Council and Commission regulations on the common organization of the market in poultrymeat should be made in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) N° 2777/75, provided that such adjustments are required solely as a result of the introduction of the harmonized system,

Whereas the request submitted by Luxembourg on 17 February 1997, which was received by the Commission on 24 February 1997, was accompanied by a report containing the information required by Article 8 (2) (c); whereas the request concerns two types of gas discharge lamp for two types of headlamp for two types of motor vehicle;
Whereas the information provided by Luxembourg shows that the technology and principle embodied in these new types of gas discharge lamp and headlamp do not meet the requirements of Community regulations; whereas, however, the descriptions of the tests, the results thereof and the action taken in order to ensure road safety are satisfactory and ensure a level of safety equivalent to that of the lamps and headlamps covered by the requirements of the Directives in force and, in particular, of Council Directive 76/761/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to motor-vehicle headlamps which function as main-beam and/or dipped-beam headlamps and to incandescent electric filament lamps for such headlamps (3), as last amended by Commission Directive 89/517/EEC (4);

amending Regulation (EC) No 1367/2002 introducing preventive distillation as provided for in Article 30 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 in Portugal
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
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), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2585/2001(2), and in particular Article 33 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under the preventive distillation introduced in Portugal, producers are required to deliver their wine for distillation and distillers are required to deliver the alcohol obtained to the intervention agency before a specified date.
(2) However, the public storage facilities in Portugal are full and the public authorities have been unable to accept deliveries of alcohol from the distillers, with the result that the storage facilities of certain distillers are now also full. This prevents them from accepting delivery of new wine for distillation before the date laid down in the Regulation.
(3) To rectify this situation, the date by which wine must be delivered for distillation and the date by which alcohol must be delivered to public storage should be postponed for one month.
(4) Since the deadline for delivery for distillation fell on 30 November 2002, this Regulation should apply from 1 December 2002.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1367/2002, is hereby replaced by the following:
"3. The wine must be delivered to the distilleries by 31 December 2002 at the latest. The alcohol obtained must be delivered to the intervention agency by 28 February 2003 at the latest."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 December 2002.
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 |

of 11 June 2013
laying down transitional measures for certain import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for trade in agricultural products between the Union as constituted on 30 June 2013 and Croatia
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of Croatia, and in particular Article 3(4) thereof,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Croatia, and in particular Article 41 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Before 1 July 2013, trade in certain agricultural products between the Union and Croatia is subject to the presentation of an import or export licence. From 1 July 2013, those licences can no longer be used for such trade.
(2) Certain licences and advance-fixing certificates which will be still valid after 30 June 2013 will not have been used at all or will have been used only partially. Commitments entered into in connection with those licences and certificates must be fulfilled failing which the security lodged would be forfeited. Given that such commitments can no longer be fulfilled after the accession of Croatia, it appears necessary to lay down, with effect from the date of that accession, a transitional measure providing for the release of the securities lodged.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
At the request of the interested parties, the securities lodged for the issuing of import and export licences and advance-fixing certificates, shall be released, under the following conditions:
(a) the exporting country or the receiving country indicated on the licences or advance-fixing certificates is Croatia. Where the indication exporting country or receiving country is not obligatory on the licence or advance-fixing certificate, the operator shall prove to the satisfaction of the competent authority that the exporting country or the receiving country is Croatia;
(b) the validity of the licences or advance-fixing certificates does not expire before 1 July 2013;
(c) the licences or advance-fixing certificates will have been used only partially or not at all by 1 July 2013.
This Regulation shall enter into force subject to and on the date of the entry into force of the Treaty of Accession of Croatia.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.666667 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, by Decision 81/956/EEC (3), as amended by Decision 88/573/EEC (4), the Council declared that seed potatoes harvested and officially controlled in Austria and Switzerland afforded the same assurances as those harvested and controlled within the Community;
Whereas the validity of that equivalence expires on 30 June 1990;
Whereas it has been shown that the conditions on which the Community findings were based at the outset are still fulfilled as regards the standards and procedures applicable to the certification of seed potatoes in Austria and Switzerland;
Whereas it is therefore appropriate to extend the validity of the equivalence for a further five years,
In Article 2 of Decision 81/956/EEC '30 June 1990' is hereby replaced by '30 June 1995'.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3669/93 (2), and in particular Article 29 (2) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2707/72 (3) lays down the conditions for applying protective measures for fruit and vegetables;
Whereas, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1859/93 (4), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1662/94 (5), on the application of the system of import licences for garlic imported from third countries, the release of garlic imported from third countries for free circulation in the Community is subject to the presentation of import licences;
Whereas, by Regulation (EC) No 1213/94 (6), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1992/94 (7), the Commission adopted a protective measure applicable to imports of garlic from China limiting the quantity for which import licences may be issued up to 31 May 1995 to 10 000 tonnes, with a maximum of 5 000 tonnes before 31 August 1994; whereas it became necessary on 2 June 1994 to suspend the issuing of licences until 31 August 1994 and subsequently to provide, by Regulation (EC) No 1992/94, for a monthly management system for issuing licences up to 31 May 1995;
Whereas, by Regulation (EC) No 2091/94 (8), the Commission adopted a protective measure with regard to imports of garlic originating in Taiwan and Vietnam, suspending the issuing of import licences for those two countries until 31 May 1995;
Whereas, at present, applications for imports licences are being submitted for garlic declared as originating in the Union of Myanmar despite the fact that no imports of such products have taken place at least since 1980; whereas there are justifiable doubts as to the origin of those imports and as a consequence an inquiry must be undertaken to establish their origin;
Whereas leaving the present situation unaltered could result in serious disturbance on the Community market, which could jeopardize the objectives of Article 39 of the EC Treaty and those of Regulation (EC) No 1213/94;
Whereas, pending the results of the abovementioned inquiry, the issuing of import licences for garlic originating in the Union of Myanmar should accordingly be suspended for the period strictly necessary to eliminate the abovementioned disturbance;

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1016/2007
of 30 August 2007
fixing the rates of refunds applicable to certain products from the sugar sector exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the market in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Article 33(2)(a) and (4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 32(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that the differences between the prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1(1)(b), (c), (d) and (g) of that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex VII to that Regulation.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 of 30 June 2005 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 as regards the system of 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 (2), specifies the products for which a rate of refund is to be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006.
(3) In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question is to be fixed each month.
(4) Article 32(4) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 lays down that the export refund for a product contained in goods may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing.
(5) The refunds fixed under this Regulation may be fixed in advance as the market situation over the next few months cannot be established at the moment.
(6) 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.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 and in Article 1(1) and in point (1) of Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, and exported in the form of goods listed in Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, shall be fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 31 August 2007.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats (1), and in particular Article 3(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 3 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that, where prices within the Community are higher than world market prices, the difference between these prices may be covered by a refund when olive oil is exported to third countries.
(2) The detailed rules for fixing and granting export refunds on olive oil are contained in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 616/72 (2).
(3) Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund must be the same for the whole Community.
(4) In accordance with Article 3(4) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, the refund for olive oil must be fixed in the light of the existing situation and outlook in relation to olive oil prices and availability on the Community market and olive oil prices on the world market. However, where the world market situation is such that the most favourable olive oil prices cannot be determined, account may be taken of the price of the main competing vegetable oils on the world market and the difference recorded between that price and the price of olive oil during a representative period. The amount of the refund may not exceed the difference between the price of olive oil in the Community and that on the world market, adjusted, where appropriate, to take account of export costs for the products on the world market.
(5) In accordance with Article 3(3) third indent, point (b) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, it may be decided that the refund shall be fixed by tender. The tendering procedure should cover the amount of the refund and may be limited to certain countries of destination, quantities, qualities and presentations.
(6) The second indent of Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund on olive oil may be varied according to destination where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The refund must be fixed at least once every month. It may, if necessary, be altered in the intervening period.
(8) It follows from applying these detailed rules to the present situation on the market in olive oil and in particular to olive oil prices within the Community and on the markets of third countries that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(2)(c) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.

amending for the 30th time Council Directive 76/769/EEC on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations (perfluorooctane sulfonates)
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),
Whereas:
(1) An OECD (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development) hazard assessment has been done on the basis of information that was available by July 2002. This assessment concluded that perfluorooctane sulfonates (hereinafter ‘PFOS’) are persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic to mammalian species and, therefore, indicate cause for concern.
(2) The risks posed to health and environment by PFOS have been assessed in accordance with the principles of Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 of 23 March 1993 on the evaluation and control of the risks of existing substances (3). The risk assessment identified a need to reduce the risks to health and the environment.
(3) The Scientific Committee on Health and Environmental Risks (hereinafter ‘SCHER’) has been consulted. SCHER concluded that PFOS fulfil the criteria for classification as very persistent, very bioaccumulative and toxic. PFOS also have a potential for long range environmental transport and have the potential to produce adverse effects and therefore fulfil the criteria for being considered as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) under the Stockholm Convention (4). SCHER identified a need for further scientific risk assessment of PFOS but it also agreed that risk reduction measures might be necessary to avoid the re-occurrence of former uses. According to SCHER, on-going critical uses in the aviation industry, the semiconductor industry and the photographic industry do not appear to pose a relevant risk to the environment or human health, if releases into the environment and workplace exposure are minimised. With regard to fire-fighting foams, SCHER agrees that health and environmental risks of substitutes should be assessed before a final decision can be taken. SCHER also agrees with restricting the use of PFOS in the plating industry, if there are no other measures available that could be applied to reduce the emissions during metal plating to a significantly lower level.
(4) In order to protect health and the environment, it therefore appears necessary that the placing on the market and the use of PFOS should be restricted. This Directive is intended to cover the major part of the exposure risks. Other minor uses of PFOS do not seem to pose a risk and they are therefore currently exempted. However, special attention should be given to plating processes using PFOS and therefore the releases from those processes need to be minimised by applying the best available techniques (hereinafter ‘BAT’) fully taking into account all relevant information contained in the BAT reference document on Surface Treatment of Metals and Plastics as developed for use under Council Directive 96/61/EC of 24 September 1996 concerning integrated pollution prevention and control (5) (IPPC Directive). In addition, Member States should establish inventories of those uses in order to acquire information about the actual quantities used and released.
(5) The semi-finished products and articles containing PFOS should also be restricted in order to protect the environment. The restriction should cover all the products and articles to which PFOS are intentionally added, taking into account that PFOS may have been used only in some distinct parts or in coatings of certain products and articles, such as textiles. This Directive should only restrict new products and should not apply to products already in use or on the second hand market. However, existing stocks of fire-fighting foams containing PFOS should be identified and their use should be allowed to continue only for a limited time to prevent possible further emissions from the use of such products.
(6) To ensure ultimately the phase-out of uses of PFOS the Commission should review each derogation under this Directive when new information on the uses and safer alternatives developed gives grounds for it. The derogation should only be allowed to continue for essential uses on the condition that safer substances or technologies, that are technically and economically feasible, do not exist and BAT are applied to minimise emissions of PFOS.
(7) Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and its salts are suspected to have a similar risk profile to PFOS, and consequently there is a need to keep under review the ongoing risk assessment activities and the availability of safer alternatives and to define what kind of risk reduction measures, including restrictions on marketing and use, if appropriate, should be applied within the European Union.
(8) Directive 76/769/EEC (6) should be amended accordingly.
(9) The objective of this Directive is to introduce harmonised provisions with regard to PFOS, thus preserving the internal market whilst ensuring a high level of protection of human health and the environment, as required by Article 95 of the Treaty.
(10) This Directive is without prejudice to the Community legislation laying down minimum requirements for the protection of workers, such as 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), and individual directives based thereon, in particular 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 Council Directive 89/391/EEC) (codified version) (8) and Council Directive 98/24/EC of 7 April 1998 on the protection of the health and safety of workers from the risks related to chemical agents at work (fourteenth individual Directive within the meaning of Article 16(1) of Directive 89/391/EEC) (9),
Annex I to Directive 76/769/EEC is hereby amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
1. Member States shall adopt and publish, not later than 27 December 2007, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those measures and a table showing the correlation between those measures and this Directive.
They shall apply these measures from 27 June 2008.
When Member States adopt these measures, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of making such reference shall be laid down by the Member States.
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.

(2) The refunds must be fixed taking into account the factors referred to in Article 1 of 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 measures to be taken in the event of disturbance on the market for cereals (2).
(3) As far as wheat and rye flour, groats and meal are concerned, when the refund on these products is being calculated, account must be taken of the quantities of cereals required for their manufacture. These quantities were fixed in Regulation (EC) No 1501/95.
(4) 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.
(5) The refund must be fixed once a month. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(6) It follows from applying the detailed rules set out above to the present situation on the market in cereals, and in particular to quotations or prices for these products within the Community and on the world market, that the refunds should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(7) 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(a), (b) and (c) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003, excluding malt, exported in the natural state, shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the 1994 Act of Accession,
Whereas, pending adaptation of Protocol 3 to the Europe Agreements concluded with Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Romania and Bulgaria (1), Council Regulation (EC) No 339/97 of 17 February 1997 adapting autonomous and transitional measures for the preferential trade arrangements with Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Romania and Bulgaria in certain processed agricultural products (2) was adopted, which, until 30 June 1997 maintains the degree of preference granted, thus offsetting possible negative effects the implementation of the results of the Uruguay Round may have on exports of these countries to the Community;
Whereas the negotiations with the countries concerned for the conclusion of protocols amending the Europe Agreements have been concluded; whereas each Protocol 3, as adapted, has been initialled or will be soon; whereas procedures for the formal adoption of 'interim` protocols covering solely the trade-related aspects of the amending protocols are underway; whereas the time schedule required for formal adoption does not enable the 'interim` protocols to enter into force on 1 July 1997; whereas it is therefore advisable to extend the concessions on an autonomous basis until 31 December 1997;
Whereas, if the countries concerned are prepared to grant to the Community the concessions resulting from the negotiations for the adaptation of the Europe agreement by way of autonomous measures, the Community should equally implement the measures in favour of these countries as envisaged in each Protocol 3, as adapted,
1. From 1 July 1997 to 31 December 1997, the basic amounts to be taken into account in the calculation of the reduced agricultural components and the reduced additional duties applicable at importation into the Community of goods originating in Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Romania and Bulgaria and listed in Annex I shall be those mentioned in Annex II.
2. From 1 July 1997 to 31 December 1997, the processed agricultural products originating in Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Romania and Bulgaria and listed in Annex III shall be subject to the duties provided for in that Annex.
The Commission may, in accordance with Article 16 of Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 of 6 December 1993 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products (3), suspend the autonomous application of the measures provided for in the draft Protocols 3 in favour of the countries referred to in Article 1 if these countries fail to apply reciprocal measures in favour of the Community.
Following the entry into force of each new Protocol 3 with the countries referred to in Article 1, the measures provided for in this Regulation shall be replaced by the measures provided for in each new Protocol 3 with the country in question.
1. The quotas referred to in Annex I to this Regulation shall be administered by the Commission in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 1460/96 of 25 July 1996 establishing the detailed rules for implementing the preferential trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products, as provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 (4).
2. The volumes of the tariff quotas indicated in Annex I to this Regulation shall be reduced to take account of the volume of goods imported from 1 January to 30 June 1997 under the equivalent quotas set out in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 339/97.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 July 1997.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 (2) lays down the procedure and conditions for the disposal of cereals held by intervention agencies.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 459/2005 (3) opened a standing invitation to tender for the export of 130 663 tonnes of common wheat held by the Austrian intervention agency.
(3) Austria has informed the Commission of the intention of its intervention agency to increase by 30 000 tonnes the quantity put out to tender for export. In view of the market situation, the request made by Austria should be granted.
(4) This increase in the quantity put out to tender makes it necessary to alter the quantity stored by region of storage referred to in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 459/2005.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 459/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.

| COMMISSION DECISION
of 11 December 1987
on the multiannual guidance programme for the fishing fleet (1987 to 1991) forwarded by Denmark pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86
(Only the Danish text is authentic)
(88/147/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 of 18 December 1986 on Community measures to improve and adapt structures in the fisheries and aquaculture sector (1), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas, on 30 April 1987, the Italian Government forwarded to the Commission a multiannual guidance programme for the fishing fleet, hereinafter referred to as 'the programme'; whereas it forwarded at a later date additional information concerning the programme;
Whereas it is necessary to consider whether, having regard to the foreseeable trend in fishery resources, the market for fishery and aquaculture products, the measures adopted under the common fisheries policy and the guidelines for the latter, the programme fulfills the conditions laid down in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 and constitutes a suitable framework for Community and national financial aid for the sector concerned;
Whereas a Community system for the conservation and management of fishery resources was introduced by Council Regulation (EEC) No 170/83 (2);
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 is aimed at facilitating the structural development of the fisheries sector within the framework of the guidelines of the common fisheries policy; whereas such structural development may be encouraged by appropriate measures supported with Community financial aid;
Whereas such measures should help to create a fishing fleet that is adapted to likely medium-term catch opportunities in both Community and non-Community waters; whereas these measures should, in particular, be based on an attempt to ensure balanced exploitation of internal resources in Community waters;
Whereas the measures implemented under the Community rules adopted for the decade from 1987 to 1997 are a continuation of the efforts made since 1983 to improve the structural situation up to 31 December 1986 through common measures to restructure, modernize and develop the fisheries sector; whereas, therefore, the objectives of the previous programme approved by Commission Decision 85/279/EEC (3) constitute the reference basis for assessing the actual development recorded and the effort still needed to ensure that the Community objectives are achieved;
Whereas the objectives of the guidance programme for 1986 have not been fully achieved; whereas the current or likely situation as regards availabilities in conjunction with the activities of the fleet concerned do not allow for any adjustment of the forecast on the basis of which these objectives were determined and approved; whereas the efforts made to adapt the fleet should therefore be sustained and strengthened over the period 1987 to 1991.
Whereas these forecasts could be reviewed were there to be any significant change in availabilities, backed up by scientific evidence, and in the light of the development of international fishery relations between the Community and coastal third States;
Whereas, in addition, the scope of the planned modernization efforts implies a substantial improvement in the overall performance of the fleet concerned which should be taken into account when assessing the relationship to be achieved by the end of the programme period between fishing capacities and availabilities;
Whereas the desired structural adjustments should be implemented on a gradual and continuing basis to reduce the economic and social impact they may have to a minimum;
Whereas the development recorded should be monitored on a regular basis so as to improve or adjust the fishery support measures that accompany the implementation of the programme;
Whereas any development that does not comply with the programme objectives would run counter to the objectives of the common fisheries policy; whereas, therefore, certain specific measures undertaken under this programme may not warrant public financial assistance; whereas, in this context, approval of the programme should only be effective where the limitations and conditions upon which such approval was made conditional are complied with;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for the Fishing Industry,
The multiannual guidance programme for the fishing fleet (1987 to 1991), as forwarded by the Danish Governement on 30 April 1987 and as later supplemented by that Government, is hereby approved subject to the limitations and conditions set out in this Decision and provided that those limitations and conditions are complied with.
Each year, at the latest by 15 February and 31 July, Denmark shall forward to the Commission, in respect of each category of vessels defined in the programme, information on the number of vessels commissioned and withdrawn and on the tonnage and engine power added and withdrawn during the six-month period ending on the preceding 31 December or 30 June.
The approval referred to in Article 1 shall only be effective where the development of the fleet complies with the objectives of the programme as set out in the Annex hereto.
The Commission shall, on the basis of its assessment of the information provided on a regular basis as specified in Article 2 or, where this information is repeatedly not supplied, notify the Member State, at the end of two consecutive six-month periods, that it has been found that the conditions to which approval of the programme was made subject have not been fulfilled.
This Decision shall be without prejudice to any Community financial aid that may be granted to individual investment projects.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Denmark. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

| 4.11.2014 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 317/28
REGULATION (EU, EURATOM) No 1142/2014 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 22 October 2014
amending Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 as regards the financing of European political parties
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 322 thereof, in conjunction with the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular Article 106a thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national Parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the Court of Auditors (1),
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),
Whereas:
(1) Political parties at European level are important as a factor for integration within the Union.
(2) Article 10 of the Treaty on European Union and Article 12(2) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union state that political parties at European level contribute to forming a European political awareness and to expressing the political will of the citizens of the Union.
(3) On 4 November 2003 the European Parliament and the Council adopted Regulation (EC) No 2004/2003 on the regulations governing political parties at European level and the rules regarding their funding (3).
(4) In its resolution of 6 April 2011 on the application of Regulation (EC) No 2004/2003 on the regulations governing political parties at European level and the rules regarding their funding (4), the European Parliament, in the light of experience gained, suggested a number of improvements regarding the financing of European political parties and European political foundations.
(5) On 22 October 2014 the European Parliament and the Council adopted Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1141/2014 (5) repealing Regulation (EC) No 2004/2003 and laying down new rules for, inter alia, the funding of political parties and political foundations at European level, in particular with regard to funding conditions, the award and distribution of funding, donations and contributions, financing of campaigns for elections to the European Parliament, reimbursable expenditure, the prohibition of funding, accounts, reporting and audit, implementation and control, penalties, cooperation between the Authority for European political parties and foundations, the Authorising Officer of the European Parliament and the Member States, and transparency.
(6) Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6) (‘the Financial Regulation’) should include rules on contributions from the general budget of the Union to European political parties as envisaged by Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1141/2014. Those rules should allow political parties at European level to have a broader degree of flexibility as regards the time limits for using those contributions, as the nature of their activities so requires.
(7) The system of financial support to European political parties through an operating grant as provided for in Article 125(6) of the Financial Regulation is not suited to their needs, in particular the obligation to submit an annual work programme, a requirement that does not exist in the legislation of Member States. Therefore, the financial support given to European political parties should take the form of a specific contribution, to match the specific needs of the European political parties. However, given that European political foundations continue to be subject to the grant provisions of the Financial Regulation, it should be possible for the limited carry-over for three months currently provided for by Article 125(6) of the Financial Regulation to apply to them.
(8) Although financial support is awarded without an annual work programme being required, European political parties should justify ex post the sound use of Union funding. In particular, the authorising officer responsible should verify if the funding has been used to pay reimbursable expenditure as established in the call for contributions within the time limits laid down in this Regulation. Contributions to European political parties should be spent by the end of the financial year following that of their award, after which, any unspent funding should be recovered by the authorising officer responsible.
(9) Union funding awarded to finance the operating costs of the European political parties should not be used for other purposes than those established in Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1141/2014, in particular to directly or indirectly finance other entities such as national political parties. The European political parties should use the contributions to pay a percentage of current and future expenditure and not expenditure or debts incurred before the submission of their applications for contributions.
(10) The award of contributions should also be simplified and adapted to the specificities of the European political parties, in particular by the absence of selection criteria, the establishment of a single full prefinancing payment as a general rule, and by the possibility to use lump sums, flat-rate and unit cost financing.
(11) The contributions from the general budget of the Union should be suspended, reduced or terminated if the European political parties infringe the obligations laid down in Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1141/2014.
(12) Penalties that are based both on the Financial Regulation and on Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1141/2014, should be imposed in a coherent way and should respect the principle of ne bis in idem. In accordance with Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1141/2014, administrative and/or financial penalties provided for by the Financial Regulation are not to be imposed in one of the cases for which penalties have already been imposed on the basis of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1141/2014.
(13) The Financial Regulation should therefore be amended accordingly,
Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 is amended as follows:
(1) In paragraph 2 of Article 121, the following point is added:
‘(j) contributions to European political parties referred to in Title VIII of Part Two.’.
(2) Article 125 is amended as follows:
(a) the second subparagraph of paragraph 3 is deleted;
(b) paragraph 6 is replaced by the following:
(3) In Part Two, the following Title is added:
(a) the subject and the overall amount of the contribution;
(b) the name of the selected applicants and the amounts accepted;
(c) the names of any applicants rejected and the reasons for that rejection.
(a) reimbursement of a percentage of the reimbursable expenditure actually incurred;
(b) reimbursement on the basis of unit costs;
(c) lump sums;
(d) flat-rate financing;
(e) a combination of the forms referred to in points (a) to (d).
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2017. The second subparagraph of Article 125(3), and Article 125(6) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012, in their version prior to the amendments made by Article 1 of this Regulation, shall continue to apply as regards acts done and commitments made in respect of the funding of political parties at European level until 31 December 2017.
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 |
