| COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 909/85
of 2 April 1985
imposing a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of certain kinds of polystyrene sheet originating in Spain
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 of 23 July 1984 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 11 thereof,
After consultations within the Advisory Committee set up by the said Regulation
Whereas:
A. Procedure
(1) In April 1984 the Commission received a complaint lodged by five Community producers, namely:
- Ono SA,
- Monoplast SA,
- Injelec SA,
- Siam Cedap SA,
- Cobelplast SA,
which together account for the bulk of Community production of extruded polystyrene sheet.
(2) The complaint contained evidence of dumping and of material injury resulting therefrom to Community industry. This evidence was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a proceeding and the Commission accordingly announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (2), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of certain kinds of polystyrene sheet originating in Spain and commenced an investigation. The product concerned is extruded polystyrene sheet, put up in rolls, falling within subheading ex 39.02 C VI b) of the Common Customs Tariff, corresponding to NIMEXE code ex 39.02-38.
(3) The Commission officially advised the exporters and importers known to be concerned, and also the representatives of the exporting country and the complainants, that the proceeding had been initiated, and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing.
The two Spanish exporters known to be concerned, namely the firms Coexpan SA and Envases Del Valles SA, and most of the importers concerned, particularly:
- Gervais-Danone-France,
- La Roche aux Fées,
- Union Laitière Pyrénées Aquitaine Charentes,
- Gervais-Danone AG,
- Dairyland Ltd,
- St Ivel Ltd,
took the opportunity to make known their views in writing; in addition, the two main exporters requested and were granted hearings.
As the importers of the product concerned are also its consumers, the point of view of the end-users of polystyrene sheet was thus taken into consideration.
(4) For the purposes of a preliminary determination of the existence of dumping and injury, the Commission endeavoured to gather and check all the information it deemed necessary and carried out inspections on the premises of the five complainant producers, the two main Spanish exporters and the following importers:
- Gervais-Danone-France, and
- Union Laitière Pyrénées Aquitaine Charentes.
The Commission requested and received detailed written submissions from the complainant Community producers on the matter of the injury and its causes, and also from the two main Spanish exporters and virtually all the importers and consumers identified; the information thus obtained was checked by the Commission where necessary.
(5) The investigation period adopted by the Commission for the purposes of determining whether dumping had taken place covered the 12 months ending on 31 July 1984. During this period, imports originating in Spain corresponded to exports to the Community by Coexpan SA and Envases Del Valles SA.
B. The product
(6) The product originating in Spain allegedly being dumped is polystyrene sheet put up in rolls. Its chief use is on form, fill and seal machines (FFS machines), which are used to produce different sizes of thermoformed foodstuff containers.
The investigation showed that the thickness of the sheet intended for the uses concerned normally varied between 0,7 and 1,3 mm.
In addition, the imports originating in Spain comprise white, bicoloured or translucent sheet, but not sheet in three colours, printed sheet or complex sheet; the investigation showed that the Spanish sheet and sheet produced in the Community constitute like products.
C. Normal value
(7) The normal value was established on the basis of comparable prices actually paid or payable in normal commercial transactions involving sales of like products on the Spanish market. The normal value was calculated on the basis of weighted monthly averages.
D. Export prices
(8) Export prices were determined on the basis of the prices actually paid or payable for the products sold for export to the Community.
E. Comparison
(9) For comparing the normal value with ex-works export prices for each of the like products, the Commission took into account differences affecting price comparability and made appropriate adjustments where the interested parties provided evidence that a request to this effect was justified. On the basis of the information in its possession, the Commission did not find any differences between the technical features of the Spanish and the Community products which might significantly affect price comparability. However, the normal value was adjusted to take account of the fact that for export sales the raw material, i.e. polystyrene granules, is purchased free of customs duty, and also that the financial costs for sales on the domestic market are higher than those for export sales. Lastly, the export price was adjusted to take account of the tax relief granted by the Spanish authorities on exports of polystyrene sheet.
A request for an adjustment to reflect the differing volume of products sold on the internal market and the export market respectively was rejected as not being backed up by conclusive evidence.
F. Margins
(10) The preliminary examination of the facts and the calculation of the dumping margin as being equal to the amount by which the normal value as established exceeds the price for export to the Community showed that there was extensive dumping in respect of exports by both Coexpan and Envases Del Valles.
(11) The extent of the dumping varied according to the Member State of destination, the type of sheet concerned and the exporter; for example, the dumping margins represented the following percentages of the cif free-at-Community-frontier price before duty:
(%)
1.2.3.4.5 // // // // // // // White sheet // Trans- lucent sheet // Bicolou- red sheet // All types of sheet // // // // // // Coexpan // 29,86 // 31,0 // 34,99 // 31,62 // Envases del Valles // 17,34 // 17,34 // - // 17,34 // // // // //
Thus, in the case of Coexpan, weighted average dumping margins of 31,13 % and 18,10 % were found for sales of white sheet on the French and German markets respectively, while the margins for bicoloured sheet on the same markets were 39,65 % and 29,03 % respectively.
(12) For the exporters not covered by the preliminary investigation, the dumping margin was determined on the basis of the data available. In this connection the Commission considered that the results of its investigation provided the most appropriate basis for determining whether dumping was taking place and that the appropriate dumping margin to be adopted in respect of these exporters was 31,62 %, this being the highest dumping margin found in the case of the two exporters covered by the investigation. G. Injury
(13) With regard to the injury caused to the Community industry by the dumped exports, the information available to the Commission shows that total exports to the Community of polystyrene sheet originating in Spain rose from 402 tonnes in 1980 to 1 982 tonnes in 1982, 4 624 tonnes in 1983 and 6 632 tonnes in 1984.
This represents an average annual rate of increase in imports of around 100 % over the 1980 to 1984 period.
The share of the Community market taken by the imports rose correspondingly from 2,4 % in 1981 to 4,6 % in 1982, 9,7 % in 1983 and 13,0 % in 1984.
On the two main Community markets, i.e. in France and Germany, the respective market shares of the imports in question rose from 7 % in 1982 to 13,9 % in 1983 and 17,1 % in 1984, in the one case, and from 0,1 to 4,3 % and 7,8 % in the other.
(14) The detailed examination of export prices for polystyrene sheet originating in Spain showed persistent undercutting of the average prices of Community producers throughout the period of the investigation. The average level of undercutting, for all types of sheet, was 9,08 % in the case of Coexpan and 6,34 % in the case of Envases Del Valles. Consequently, the Community industry found its prices under pressure, which prevented it from raising its prices as it would otherwise have done to reflect the increases in its cost prices resulting mainly from rises in the cost of raw material; generally speaking, the price of polystyrene granules accounts for 70 to 80 % of the cost price of polystyrene sheet produced in the Community. As a result, Community producers were gradually compelled to sell at prices lower than the minimum level necessary to cover their production cost and provide a reasonable profit.
(15) The information checked by the Commission shows that the impact of the imports on the Community industry was such that, in spite of steady growth in Community consumption (from 38 800 tonnes in 1981 to 51 100 tonnes in 1984), the complainants' sales remained virtually stagnant (27 537 tonnes in 1981 and 29 850 tonnes in 1984). The complainant Community industry therefore suffered substantial losses of market share (from 71 % in 1981 to 66,5 % in 1982, 60,6 % in 1983 and 58,4 % in 1984), mainly to the benefit of the dumped imports. The pressure on market price exerted by the imports resulted in a very sharp deterioration in the financial results of the Community producers in this specific production sector, virtually all of them being reduced to merely covering costs or even running at a loss, and this jeopardizes their short-term future.
(16) The Commission examined other factors which, individually or in combination, could also have affected Community production.
In the case of the French market, which alone amounts to two thirds of the Community market, some consumers raised the question of the impact on the profitability of the Community producers of the industry's written undertaking to fight inflation, which was approved by the French authorities.
The Commission noted that the main provision of this undertaking allows producers to pass on in full in their selling prices for polystyrene sheet the increases in the cost of their raw material. But it found in the course of its investigation that these increases were not passed on in full during the period under consideration.
During this period, increases in the cost of raw material supplied to producers were in the 20 to 27 % range, whereas increases in the selling price of sheet, although they varied according to the product and the customer, were only in the overall range 12 to 23,5 %.
(17) The Commission has therefore concluded, on the basis of the evidence at its disposal, that the injury caused during the investigation period by the increase in the dumped imports must, taken in isolation, be regarded as material injury.
H. Community interest
(18) In these circumstances, and in order to prevent further injury being caused during the remainder of the proceeding, the interests of the Community require immediate action taking the form of the imposition of a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of polystyrene sheet originating in Spain. The Commission considers that an anti-dumping duty of 12,4 % on exports by Envases Del Valles and 15,9 % on exports by Coexpan or other, unidentified, Spanish exporters, even though these figures are lower than the dumping margins established, should be sufficient to remove the injury being caused to the Community industry by the Spanish imports, bearing in mind the price level necessary to ensure that the complainant producers are no longer selling at a loss and are able to make a reasonable profit.
(19) In this context, the Commission examined the likely impact of these protective measures on the user industries, namely the manufacturers of food products, notably fresh products. Its conclusion was that for the majority of the food products in question any increase in overall cost prices resulting from the proposed anti-dumping duties would be negligible.
(20) Examination of the possible impact of a protective measure on the downstream industries has not, therefore, altered the Commission's conclusions.
I. Rate of duty
(21) Having regard to the injury caused, the rate of the provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of polystyrene sheet originating in Spain should therefore be lower than the dumping margin provisionally established, though sufficient to remove the injury caused; bearing in mind the selling price necessary to enable Community producers to make a reasonable profit, the Commission has provisionally set the provisional duty necessary to remove the injury at the levels given in point 18.
(22) The Advisory Committee has not raised any objection.
J. Final provisions
23. A period should be fixed within which the interested parties may, folllowing the imposition of the provisional duty, make their views known and request an oral hearing by the Commission.
1. A provisional anti-dumping duty is hereby imposed on imports of extruded white, bicoloured or translucent polystyrene sheet, put up in rolls, of a thickness of between 0,7 and 1,3 mm, originating in Spain, falling within subheading ex 39.02 C VI b) of the Common Customs Tariff (corresponding to NIMEXE code ex 39.02-38).
2. The amount of the duty shall be equal to 15,9 % of the net free-at-Community-frontier price before duty, except for exports by the firm Envases Del Valles, for which the duty shall be 12,4 %.
The free-at-Community-frontier prices shall be net prices where the conditions of sale stipulate that payment must be made within 30 days of the date of dispatch; they shall be increased or reduced by 1 % for each month by which this period is shortened or lengthened.
3. The provisions in force concerning customs duties shall apply to this duty.
4. The release for free circulation in the Community of the product referred to in paragraph 1 shall be subject to the provision of a security equivalent to the amount of the provisional duty.
Without prejudice to Article 7 (4) (b) and (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84, the parties concerned may make known their views and apply to be heard orally by the Commission within one month of the entry into force of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
Subject to Articles 11, 12 and 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84, this Regulation shall apply for a period of four months, unless the Council adopts definitive measures before the expiry of that period. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

of 29 May 1991
on establishing indicative limit values by implementing Council Directive 80/1107/EEC on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to chemical, physical and biological agents at work
(91/322/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 80/1107/EEC of 27 November 1980 on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to chemical, physical and biological agents at work (1), as last amended by Directive 88/642/EEC (2), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 8 (4) thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the Advisory Committee on Safety, Hygiene and Health Protection at Work,
Whereas the third subparagraph of Article 8 (4) of Directive 80/1107/EEC states that indicative limit values shall reflect expert evaluations based on scientific data;
Whereas the aim of fixing these values is the harmonization of conditions in this area, while maintaining the improvements made;
Whereas the Directive constitutes a practical step towards the achievement of the social dimension of the internal market;
Whereas occupational exposure limit values should be regarded as an important part of the overall approach to ensuring the protection of the health of workers at the workplace;
Whereas an initial list of occupational exposure limit values can be established for agents for which similar values exist in the Member States, giving priority to agents which are found at places of work and are likely to have an effect on the health of workers; whereas this list can be based on existing scientific data as far as the effects on health are concerned, although for certain agents these data are very limited;
Whereas in addition it may be necessary to establish occupational exposure limit values for shorter periods taking into account the effects arising from short term exposure;
Whereas a reference method covering, inter alia, assessment of exposure and measuring strategy for occupational exposure limit values is contained in Directive 80/1107/EEC;
Whereas, in view of the importance of obtaining reliable measurements of exposure in relation to occupational exposure limit values, it may be necessary in the future to establish appropriate reference methods;
Whereas occupational exposure limit values need to be kept under review and will need to be revised if new scientific data indicate that they are no longer valid;
Whereas, for some agents it will be necessary in the future to consider all absorption pathways, including the possibility of penetration through the skin, in order to ensure the best possible level of protection;
Whereas the measures laid down in this Directive are in conformity with the opinion of the Committee set up pursuant to Article 9 of Directive 80/1107/EEC,
Indicative limit values, of which Member States shall take account, inter alia, when establishing the limit values referred to in Article 4 (4) (b) of Directive 80/1107/EEC are listed in the Annex.
1. Member States shall bring into force the provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 31 December 1993. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.
When Member States adopt these provisions, these shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference at the time of their official publication. The procedure for such reference shall be adopted by Member States.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the provisions of national law which they adopt in the field governed by this Directive.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas:
(1) Article 3 of Council Regulation (EC) No 2597/97 (2) sets up the products to be considered drinking milk, in particular with regard to their fat content.
(2) In order to facilitate the changeover from existing pre-accession national rules to Community rules, several transitional derogations have been adopted on the occasion of recent accessions.
(3) Taking into account various consumer habits in different Member States as well as the expiring derogations, it seems appropriate to allow the marketing, as drinking milk, of products with a fat content other than the existing three categories.
(4) In order to provide clarity for the consumers, such milk should however not be called whole milk, semi-skimmed milk or skimmed milk but have its fat content percentage clearly indicated on the packaging.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 2597/97 should be amended accordingly,
The following subparagraph shall be added to Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2597/97:
‘Heat treated milk not complying with the fat content requirements laid down in points (b), (c) and (d) of the first subparagraph shall be considered drinking milk provided that the fat content is clearly indicated with one decimal and easily readable on the packaging in the form of “… % fat”. Such milk shall not be described as whole milk, semi-skimmed milk or skimmed milk.’.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2008.
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 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 of 17 May 1999 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999 of 22 October 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops (2) sets the terms on which area payments are granted for certain arable crops. Under Article 19(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999 areas set aside must remain so for a period commencing on 15 January at the latest and ending on 31 August at the earliest and, except as otherwise provided for, may not be used for agricultural production or a lucrative purpose.
(2) In 2003, certain regions of the Community have experienced extreme drought that has seriously affected fodder supplies, entailing extreme low farm stocks of fodder at the end of the winter 2003.
(3) A derogation from Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999 whereby the Member States affected may allow arable crop set-aside land to be used for animal feed purposes could reduce supply risks for the next campaign. However, any lucrative utilisation of such land should be effectively disallowed.
(4) Moreover, due to the drought, a higher forest stand than usually has been affected by bark beetle and therefore more storage capacity for the chopped down wood is temporarily necessary. The use of land set aside under the arable crop scheme for the marketing year 2004/05 could alleviate the situation by permitting the temporary storage of the timber concerned. A derogation should therefore be made from Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999. Measures should, however, be adopted to ensure that the land is made available on a non-lucrative basis.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
1. By way of derogation from Article 19(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999, Member States may allow land declared as set aside for the 2004/2005 marketing year to be used for animal feed purposes in line with terms and criteria set by them.
2. The Member States concerned shall take all necessary measures to ensure that the set-aside land referred to in paragraph 1 is not used for lucrative purposes, and in particular that no dried fodder production aid under Council Regulation (EC) No 603/95 (3) is granted on crops from it.
1. By way of derogation from Article 19(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999, land declared as set aside for the 2004/05 marketing year may be used to store trees in regions defined by the Member States to be affected by bark beetle.
2. The Member States concerned shall take all necessary measures to ensure that the set-aside land used for storage is made available on a non-lucrative basis.
The Member States concerned shall notify to the Commission the measures they adopt under 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 15 May 2004.

Whereas:
(1) Under Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92, France has sent the Commission an application for the registration of a name as a geographical indication.
(2) In accordance with Article 6(1) of that Regulation, the application has been found to meet all the requirements laid down therein and in particular to contain all the information required in accordance with Article 4 thereof.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 79/112/EEC of 18 December 1978 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs(1), as last amended by Directive 97/4/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(2), and in particular Articles 16 and 17 thereof,
(1) Whereas, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 16(2) of Directive 79/112/EEC, the Italian authorities have notified the Commission of a draft law on additional provisions for the labelling of beverages in ring-pull cans;
(2) Whereas the said draft law requires the labelling of such beverages to carry an indication of the type "clean top of can before opening and avoid drinking directly from can";
(3) Whereas, in accordance with Article 16(2) of Directive 79/112/EEC, the Commission has consulted the other Member States within the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs;
(4) Whereas the hygiene measures advocated by the Italian authorities for using this type of packaging are not in question;
(5) Whereas, however, foodstuffs labelling is often not the most appropriate way of educating consumers in food hygiene;
(6) Whereas a more appropriate measure, constituting less of an obstacle to the free movement of the beverages in question, would be information campaigns to raise the awareness of consumers; particularly young consumers, regarding hygiene precautions to be taken when using this type of can;
(7) Whereas the requirements of the notified draft law therefore appear excessive in relation to the objective in hand;
(8) Whereas this finding has prompted the Commission to deliver a negative opinion, in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 16(2) of Directive 79/112/EEC;
(9) Whereas for the Italian authorities to impose such an obligation unilaterally would create new barriers to the free movement of foodstuffs;
(10) Whereas the Italian authorities should therefore be asked not to adopt this draft law;
(11) Whereas the measures laid down in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs,
Italy is required not to adopt its draft law on additional provisions for the labelling of beverages in ring-pull cans.

of 11 December 1987
on the multiannual guidance programme for aquaculture (1987 to 1991) presented by Belgium pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86
(Only the Dutch and French texts are authentic)
(88/2/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 the Belgian Government transmitted to the Commission on 30 April 1987 a multiannual guidance programme for aquaculture, termed 'the programme' below; whereas on 23 June 1987 it notified the final additional information about the programme;
Whereas the programme covers only freshwater species and is aimed, in addition to traditional production of carp and trout, at some diversification in a sector of modest size in Belgium; whereas the estimated investment requirement for the programme is 6 million ECU;
Whereas given 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 meets the requirements laid down in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 and constitutes a suitable framework for Community and national financial aid in the sector concerned;
Whereas, however, the technical or commercial difficulies that often attend the development of new products may occur as the programme is implemented; whereas this risk is particularly marked in the case of eels, where development of production will also depend on the supply of elvers;
Whereas international competition is increasing on the developing market in aquaculture products;
Whereas the trout production target set by the programme may have to be altered depending on the trend of the market in Salmonidae;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion issued by the Standing Committee for the Fishing Industry,
The multiannual guidance programme for aquaculture (1987 to 1991), transmitted by the Government of Belgium on 30 April 1987 and last supplemented on 23 June 1987, is hereby approved subject to the conditions set out in this Decision.
1. Investment projects for the production of non-traditional species must be carefully assessed so that their technical practicability and future profitability will be guaranteed.
2. Particular attention must be paid to the technical practicability of eel-rearing and to adequacy and regularity of elver supplies.
3. The trout production target specified in the programme must be reviewed if substantial change occurs on the market in Salmonidae.
This Decision is without prejudice to any Community financial aid for individual investment projects.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Belgium. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

Whereas:
(1) Commission Directive 72/168/EEC of 14 April 1972 determining the characteristics and minimum conditions for examining vegetable varieties(3), as amended by Directive 2002/8/EC(4) has established, with a view to official acceptance of the varieties in the Member States' catalogues, the characteristics to be covered as a minimum by the examinations of the various species, as well as the minimum requirements for carrying out the examinations.
(2) Test guidelines relating to the conditions for the examination of the varieties have been issued by the Administrative Council of the Community Plant Variety Office (CPVO) established by Council Regulation (EC) No 2100/94 of 27 July 1994 on Community plant variety rights(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1650/2003(6), in respect of certain species.
(3) Test guidelines establishing the conditions for the examinations of the varieties exist at international level. The International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV) has developed test guidelines.
(4) Directive 72/168/EEC was amended by Directive 2002/8/EC to ensure consistency between the CPVO test guidelines and the conditions for examining the varieties with a view to their acceptance in the national catalogues of varieties of the Member States, as far as CPVO test guidelines had been established. The CPVO has since issued guidelines for a number of other species.
(5) It is appropriate to ensure consistency between the CPVO test guidelines and the conditions for the varieties, with a view to their acceptance into national catalogues of the Member States.
(6) It is appropriate to base the Community system on the UPOV test guidelines, in so far as CPVO has not yet developed specific guidelines. National law applies for the species not covered by this Directive.
(7) Directive 72/168/EEC should therefore be repealed.
(8) The measures provided for in this directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,

2. As regards distinctness, stability and uniformity:
(a) the species listed in Annex I shall comply with the conditions laid down in the "Protocols for distinctness, uniformity and stability tests" of the Administrative Council of the Community Plant Variety Office (CPVO) listed in that Annex;
(b) the species listed in Annex II shall comply with the test guidelines for the conduct of tests for distinctness, uniformity and stability of the International Union for the Protection of new Varieties of Plants (UPOV) listed in that Annex.
All the varietal characteristics within the meaning of Article 1(2)(a), and any characteristics which are marked by an asterisk (*) in the test guidelines referred to in Article 1(2)(b) shall be used, providing that observation of a characteristic is not rendered impossible by the expression of any other characteristics, and providing that the expression of a characteristic is not prevented by the environmental conditions under which the test is conducted.
Member States shall ensure that in respect of the species listed in Annexes I and II, the minimum requirements for carrying out the examinations in respect of trial design and growing conditions, as laid down in the test guidelines referred to in those Annexes are fulfilled at the time of the examinations.
Directive 72/168/EEC is repealed.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations or administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 31 March 2004 at the latest. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
When Member States adopt these measures, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of domestic law they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
1. Where, on the entry into force of this Directive, varieties have not been accepted for inclusion in the Common Catalogue of varieties of vegetable species, and official examinations started prior to that date in accordance with the provisions of either
(a) Directive 72/168/EEC or
(b) the CPVO guidelines listed in Annex I or the UPOV guidelines listed in Annex II, according to the species,
the varieties concerned shall be deemed to fulfil the requirements of this Directive.
2. Paragraph 1 shall only apply where the trials lead to the conclusion that the varieties comply with the rules set out in either
(a) Directive 72/168/EEC or
(b) the CPVO guidelines listed in Annex I or the UPOV guidelines listed in Annex II, according to the species.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 of 17 July 1984 laying down general rules on the granting of aid for the production of olive oil and of aid to olive oil producer organizations (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 892/88 (4), and in particular Article 17a (1) thereof,
Whereas Article 5 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the unit production aid must be reduced where the actual production in a given marketing year exceeds the guaranteed maximum quantity fixed for that marketing year; whereas, however, producers whose average production does not amount to 300 kilograms of olive oil per marketing year are not afected by such a reduction;
Whereas Article 17a of Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 provides that in order to determine the unit amount of the production aid for olive oil that can be paid in advance, the estimated production for the marketing year concerned should be determined; whereas that amount must be fixed at a level avoiding any risk of unwarranted payment to olive growers;
Whereas, in order to establish the estimated production, the Member States must forward to the Commission the data for the olive oil production estimates for each marketing year; whereas the Commission may avail itself of other sources of information;
Whereas the amount of the advance withheld for the establishment of the register of olive cultivation provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 1416/82 (5), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2212/88 (6), and the amount withheld for measures to improve the quality of olive oil provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 1916/87 (6) must be taken into account;
Whereas in Spain and Portugal, the amount of the production aid is different from that in the other Member States; whereas the amount of the advance in those two Member States must therefore be different; whereas, on the basis of the data available, the estimated quantity and the abovementioned amount should be fixed at the levels given below;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
For the 1988/89 olive oil marketing year:
- the estimated production shall be 1 200 000 tonnes,
- the unit amount of the production aid that may be paid in advance shall be:
- ECU 25,62/100 kilograms for Spain,

- ECU 67,79/100 kilograms for the other Member States.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1), Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2), Whereas Article 4 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1677/85 of 11 June 1985 on monetary compensatory amounts in agriculture (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1013/86 (4), provides that pigmeat is to rank as a product derived from cereals; whereas this rule, while corresponding to the basic idea of the organization of the market in the pigmeat sector, has led to problems as a result of its inherent rigidity; whereas the former arrangements for calculating monetary compensatory amounts in this sector should therefore be reintroduced; Whereas, however, experience gained since 1984 with the system for calculating the monetary compensatory amounts currently in force has shown that the low level of amounts does not give rise to disruption of trade; whereas, in the interests of free trade, it would seem desirable to keep the level of the amounts as low as possible; whereas to this end only a percentage of the fixed basic price should be used for the calculation, having regard to the proportion which cereals represent in the cost of producing a pig carcase; Whereas, nevertheless, certain exceptions involving economically equivalent arrangements prove necessary;Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1245/86 (5), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1645/86 (6), suspended application of part of the negative compensatory amounts until 30 June 1986 for products in the pigmeat and eggs and poultry sectors; Whereas that temporary limitation had been introduced pending a Council decision on the calculation of the monetary compensatory amounts to be applied in the future for the products in question; Whereas this Regulation embodies the rules applicable for the future for the pigmeat sector; whereas as regards the poultry-raising sectors, on the other hand, no final solution could be worked out at the appropriate time; whereas the current arrangements should therefore be extended for the poultry-raising sectors while taking account of the effect of the devaluation of the agricultural conversion rates fixed for the cereals sector; whereas, however, those arrangements should remain valid only until a final decision is adopted,
Regulation (EEC) No 1677/85 is hereby amended as follows:1. Article 4 (2) is deleted.2.The following paragraph is added to Article 5: 'In the pigmeat sector, the monetary compensatory amounts shall be fixed on the basis of a price equal to 35 % of the basic price. However, in the case of Member States applying positive monetary compensatory amounts and which maintain their currencies inter se within a maximum spread at any given time of 2,25 %, the monetary compensatory amounts applicable as from 1 July 1986 shall be equal to those applicable on 30 June 1986 adjusted on the basis of the prices applicable as from 1 July 1986 subject to an amendment of the agricultural conversion rates.This rule shall remain valid as long as the arrangements laid down in Article 6 apply.'
By way of derogation from Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1677/85, the monetary gap is hereby reduced by 4,8 points for France and 4,5 points for the United Kingdom during the period 1 July to 30 September 1986 in respect of products in the eggs and poultrymeat sectors and in respect of ovalbumin and lactalbumin.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 1986.

Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular Article 6(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 of 17 January 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included into its Annex I (2) applies to third and fourth stage substances which had been evaluated but not included into Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by 31 December 2008. As regards third and fourth stage substances evaluated after that date it does not apply.
(2) However, Commission Regulation (EC) No 2076/2002 (3) and Commission Decision 2003/565/EC (4) have been amended to extend the time period for the programme of work until 31 December 2009 as regards third and fourth stage substances. It is necessary to adapt the respective date in Regulation (EC) No 33/2008.
(3) As regards the regular procedure, it has become obvious that the time period granted to the Authority to prepare its conclusions should be extended due to the complexity and the amount of work involved.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (1), and in particular Article 36(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) contained the list of active substances approved at Union level for inclusion in biocidal products. Commission Directive 2008/79/EC (3) added the active substance IPBC for use in products belonging to product-type 8, wood preservatives, as defined in Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC. By virtue of Article 86 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, this substance is therefore an approved active substance included in the list referred to in Article 9(2) of that Regulation.
(2) In accordance with Article 8 of Directive 98/8/EC, the company ISP Cologne Holding GmbH submitted on 22 December 2010 an application to Denmark for authorisation of a wood preservative biocidal product containing IPBC (‘the contested product’). Denmark authorised the contested product on 19 December 2011 for Use classes 2 and 3 of the treated wood, as described in the Technical Notes for Guidance on Product Evaluation (4). The product authorisation covers different application methods, including automated dipping for professional use. Two Member States have subsequently authorised the contested product through mutual recognition.
(3) ISP Cologne Holding GmbH (‘the applicant’) submitted on 20 February 2012 a complete application to Germany for mutual recognition of the authorisation of the contested product granted by Denmark.
(4) Germany has notified the Commission, the other Member States and the applicant on 30 August 2013 of its proposal to restrict the authorisation in accordance with Article 4(4) of Directive 98/8/EC. Germany considers that the contested product does not meet the requirements of Article 5(1) of Directive 98/8/EC with regard to the human health and the environment.
(5) According to Germany, the assessment performed by Denmark did not appropriately address the environmental concerns raised by the contested product. The environmental risk assessment performed by Germany of the service life of treated wood under Use Class 3 conditions concluded in an unacceptable risk for the soil compartment at day 30 (‘time 1’) regardless of the application method. As a result, Germany proposes not to authorise the use of wood treated with the contested product under Use class 3 conditions.
(6) Germany also considers that the application by automated dipping should be limited to systems with a sufficiently high degree of automation due to unacceptable risks on the human health of professional users.
(7) The Commission invited the other Member States and the applicant to submit comments to the notification in writing within 90 days in accordance with Article 27(1) of Directive 98/8/EC. Comments were submitted within that deadline by Germany, Denmark and the applicant. The notification was also discussed between the Commission and Member States' Competent Authorities for biocidal products on 24 September 2013 in the meeting of the coordination group established under Article 35 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
(8) With regard to the risks for the environment, from those discussions and comments it follows that the evaluation carried out by Denmark is compatible with current guidance (5). Where a risk is identified at time 1 as a result of a worst-case assumption, safe use of treated wood under Use classes 2 and 3 conditions can be assumed when the risk for the environment at the end of the service life is deemed acceptable.
(9) The Commission also notes that cases where an unacceptable risk is identified at time 1 are currently under discussion at Union level in order to establish a harmonised approach. Against this background the Commission considers that, until such an approach is formally adopted, the conclusions of the assessment of the contested product by the Denmark should be considered as valid until the renewal of the product authorisation.
(10) In the light of those comments, the Commission supports the conclusions of the evaluation carried out by Denmark and the other Member States having approved the product through mutual recognition, considering that the contested product fulfils the requirements set by Article 5(1) of Directive 98/8/EC with regard to the environment. The Commission therefore considers that the request by Germany to restrict the authorisation cannot be justified on the grounds put forward.
(11) With regard to the application by automated dipping, the Commission considers that the contested product should be subject to the provisions established by a previous Commission Decision (6) addressing the protection of the health of professional users when applying IPBC containing products by this application method. Consequently, the contested product should be authorised subject to instructions on the label restricting the use to fully automated dipping processes and the product authorisation should be amended accordingly.
(12) Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 applies to the contested product in accordance with the provisions of Article 92(2) of that Regulation. Since the legal basis for this Decision is Article 36(3) of that Regulation, this decision should be addressed to all Member States by virtue of Article 36(4) of that Regulation.
(13) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,
This Decision applies to products identified by the following application reference number in the Reference Member State, as provided for by the Register for Biocidal Products:
2010/5411/6906/DK/AA/8325
The proposal by Germany to restrict the authorisation granted by Denmark on 19 December 2011 of the products referred to in the Article 1, is rejected.
Where used for automated dipping, authorisations of biocidal products identified by the application reference number listed in Article 1 shall include a condition that the label of the products contains the following instruction:
‘Product (insert name of the product) must only be used in fully automated dipping processes where all steps in the treatment and drying process are mechanised and no manual handling takes place, including when the treated articles are transported through the dip tank to the draining/drying and storage (if not already surface dry before moving to storage). Where appropriate, the wooden articles to be treated must be fully secured (e.g. via tension belts or clamping devices) prior to treatment and during the dipping process, and must not be manually handled until after the treated articles are surface dry.’

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 93/25/EEC of 1 June 1993 on the statistical surveys to be carried out on sheep and goat stocks(1), as last amended by Directive 97/77/EC(2), and in particular Article 1(4), Article 2(2), Article 3(2) and (3), Article 7, Article 10(1) and (2) and Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 94/434/EC of 30 May 1994 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 93/25/EEC as regards the statistical surveys on sheep and goat population and production(3) has been substantially amended several times(4). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Decision should be codified.
(2) Precise definitions are required in order to carry out the surveys provided for in Directive 93/25/EEC. This first requires the definition of the agricultural holdings covered by the survey. The individual categories into which the survey results are to be broken down should also be precisely defined, and the herd size classes and regions according to which the Member States draw up the survey results at regular intervals should be determined. A single definition of carcass weight is necessary for the drawing-up of slaughtering statistics.
(3) According to Directive 93/25/EEC, the Member States may, at their request, be authorised to use administrative sources instead of statistical surveys on sheep and goat stocks and the prescribed breakdown by herd size classes for the final results of even-numbered years.
(4) Applications have been made by the Member States for the various types of authorisation.
(5) This Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Statistics,
1. For the purposes of Article 2(2) of Directive 93/25/EEC, "agricultural holding" means any technical and economic unit under single management which produces agricultural products.
2. The survey referred to in Article 1(1) of Directive 93/25/EEC shall cover:
(a) agricultural holdings with a utilised agricultural area of 1 ha or more;
(b) agricultural holdings with a utilised agricultural area of less than 1 ha, if their production is to a certain extent intended for sale or if their production unit exceeds certain natural thresholds.
3. Member States wishing to apply a different survey threshold shall, however, undertake to determine that threshold in such a way that only the smallest holdings are excluded, and that together the holdings excluded account for 1 % or less of the total standard gross margin, within the meaning of Commission Decision 85/377/EEC(5), of the Member State concerned.
The definitions of the categories of sheep and goat referred to in Article 3(1) and Article 13(2) of Directive 93/25/EEC are set out in Annex I.
The territorial subdivisions referred to in Article 7(1) of Directive 93/25/EEC are set out in Annex II.
The size classes referred to in Article 10(1) of Directive 93/25/EEC are set out in Annex III.
The carcass weight referred to in Article 13(1) of Directive 93/25/EEC is defined in Annex IV.
1. Pursuant to Article 1(3) of Directive 93/25/EEC, the Member States listed in point (a) of Annex V are authorised to use administrative sources instead of statistical surveys.
2. Pursuant to Article 10(2) of Directive 93/25/EEC, the Member States listed in point (b) of Annex V are authorised to use the breakdown by herd size classes for the final results of even-numbered years.
Decision 94/434/EC is repealed.
References to the repealed Decision shall be construed as references to this Decision and shall be read in accordance with the correlation table set out in Annex VII.

(2006/131/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 8(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in March 1999 Spain received an application from Novartis Crop Protection AG (now Syngenta) for the inclusion of the active substance thiamethoxam in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Commission Decision 2000/181/EC (2) confirmed that the dossier was complete and could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annex II and Annex III to that Directive.
(2) Confirmation of the completeness of the dossier was necessary in order to allow it to be examined in detail and to allow Member States the possibility of granting provisional authorisations, for periods up to three years, for plant protection products containing the active substance concerned, while complying with the conditions laid down in Article 8(1) of Directive 91/414/EEC and, in particular, the condition relating to the detailed assessment of the active substance and the plant protection product in the light of the requirements laid down by that Directive.
(3) For this active substance, the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant. The rapporteur Member State submitted the draft assessment report to the Commission on 20 January 2002.
(4) Following submission of the draft assessment report by the rapporteur Member State, it has been found to be necessary to request further information from the applicant and to have the rapporteur Member State examine that information and submit its assessment. Therefore, the examination of the dossier is still ongoing and it will not be possible to complete the evaluation within the time-frame provided for in Directive 91/414/EEC.
(5) As the evaluation so far has not identified any reason for immediate concern, Member States should be given the possibility of prolonging provisional authorisations granted for plant protection products containing the active substance concerned for a period of 24 months in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 of Directive 91/414/EEC so as to enable the examination of the dossier to continue. It is expected that the evaluation and decision-making process with respect to a decision on possible Annex I inclusion for thiamethoxam will have been completed within 24 months.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Member States may extend provisional authorisations for plant protection products containing thiamethoxam for a period not exceeding 24 months from the date of adoption of this Decision.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3283/94 of 22 December 1994 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1251/95 (2), and in particular point (b) of Article 11 (4) thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
I. GENERAL
A. Review request
(1) The Commission has received an application for a 'new exporter` review pursuant to Article 11 (4) of Regulation (EC) No 3283/94. The request for this review was lodged on 27 January 1995 by Bongaigaon Refinery & Petrochemicals Ltd, India, a new exporter in India which claims it did not export the product concerned during the period of investigation on which the measures were based.
B. Product
(2) The product concerned is synthetic staple fibres of polyester, not carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning, commonly referred to as polyester synthetic fibres, currently classifiable within CN code 5503 20 00. This CN code is only given for information and has no binding effect on the classification of the product.
C. Existing measures
(3) The measures currently in force on imports of the product concerned originating in India are a definitive anti-dumping duty of 7,2 % imposed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 (3), with the exception of several companies specifically mentioned which are subject to a lesser duty.
II. ADMISSIBILITY
A. Grounds for the review
(4) The applicant, Bongaigaon Refinery & Petrochemicals Ltd, has submitted evidence showing that it is not related to any of the exporters or producers in India and the Republic of Korea which are subject to anti-dumping measures on polyester synthetic fibres and that it started exporting to the Community following the period from 1 January to 31 August 1990, i.e. the investigation period on which the abovementioned measures were based with regard to the determination of dumping.
B. Procedure
(5) Community producers known to be concerned have been informed of the above application and have been given an opportunity to comment.
C. Conclusion
(6) In the light of the foregoing, the Commission concludes that there is sufficient evidence to justify the initiation of a review pursuant to Article 11 (4) of Regulation (EC) No 3283/94 with a view to determining, should dumping be found, the applicant's individual margin of dumping and the level of duty to which its imports of the product concerned to the Community should be subject.
III. REPEAL OF THE DUTY IN FORCE AND REGISTRATION OF IMPORTS
(7) Pursuant to point (b) of Article 11 (4) of Regulation (EC) No 3283/94, the anti-dumping duty in force has to be repealed with regard to imports of the product concerned originating in India which are produced and exported by the applicant. At the same time, such imports have to be made subject to registration in accordance with Article 14 (5) of that Regulation in order to ensure that, should the review result in a determination of dumping by the applicant, anti-dumping duties can be levied retroactively to the date of the initiation of this review; the amount of the applicant's possible future liability cannot, however, be estimated at this stage of the procedure.
IV. FINAL PROVISION
(8) In the interest of sound administration, a period should be fixed within which interested parties, provided that they can show that they are likely to be affected by the results of the investigation, may make their views known in writing and provide supporting evidence. A period should also be fixed, within which interested parties may make a written request for a hearing, giving particular reasons why they should be heard. Furthermore, it should be noted that in cases in which any interested party refuses access to, or otherwise does not provide necessary information within the time limit, or significantly impedes the investigation, provisional or final findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No 3283/94, on the basis of the facts available,
Pursuant to Article 11 (4) of Regulation (EC) No 3283/94, a review of Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 is hereby initiated in order to determine if and to what extent imports of synthetic staple fibres of polyesters, not carded, combed, or otherwise processed for spinning (synthetic fibres of polyester) falling within CN code 5503 20 00 and originating in India, produced and exported to the Community by Bongaigaon Refinery & Petrochemicals Ltd, P.O. Dhaligaon, Dist. Bongaigaon, Assam-783 385, India, shall be subject to the anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 54/93.
The anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 is hereby repealed with regard to imports of the product concerned produced and exported to the Community by Bongaigaon Refinery & Petrochemicals Ltd (Taric additional code: 8873).
The customs authorities are hereby directed, pursuant to Article 14 (5) of Regulation (EC) No 3283/94, to take the appropriate steps to register the imports identified in Article 1.
Interested parties, if their representations are to be taken into account during the investigation, must make themselves known, present their views in writing and submit information within 37 days from the date of transmission of a copy of this Regulation to the authorities of the exporting country. Interested parties may also apply to be heard by the Commission within the same time limit. The transmission of a copy of this Regulation to the authorities of the exporting country shall be deemed to have taken place on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 77/93/EEC of 21 December 1976 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community(1), as last amended by Commission Directive 1999/53/EC(2), and in particular Article 19c thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Directive 77/93/EEC, a financial contribution from the Community may be granted to Member States to cover expenditure relating directly to the necessary measures which have been taken or are planned to be taken for the purpose of combating harmful organisms introduced from third countries or from other areas in the Community, in order to eradicate or, if that is not possible, to contain them;
(2) France has applied for the allocation of such a Community financial contribution and supplied programmes of actions to eradicate: Clavibacter michiganensis ssp. sepedonicus (Smith) Davis et al., the causal agent of potato ring rot, introduced in France in 1997; Globodera pallida (Wollenweber) Behrens and Globodera rostochiensis (Stone) Behrens, introduced in France in 1997; Xanthomonas axonopolis pv. dieffenbachiae (Mc Culloch & Pirone) Vauterin et al., introduced in France in 1997. These programmes specify the objectives to be achieved, the measures carried out, their duration and their cost so that the Community may contribute to financing them;
(3) The Community financial contribution may cover up to 50 % of eligible expenditure;
(4) The expenditure which France has incurred in the years 1997, 1998 and 1999 relates directly to the destruction of infected plants and plant products, the disinfection of machinery and premises, plant health inspections, plant sampling and analyses and financial losses;
(5) The technical information provided by France has enabled the Standing Committee on Plant Health to analyse the situation accurately and comprehensively;
(6) The Overseas Departments benefit of a specific Community financial contribution for the implementation of a programme for the eradication and control of harmful organisms for plants and plant products, other than Xanthomonas axonopodis;
(7) The contribution referred to in Article 2 is without prejudice to a possible contribution for other expenditure specified in the application by France, but not taken into account in this Decision, or for further actions taken or to be taken and necessary for the achievement of the objective of eradication or control of the relevant harmful organisms; such a contribution would be the subject of a subsequent Decision;
(8) The present Decision is without prejudice to the outcome of the verifications by the Commission under Article 19d of Directive 77/93/EEC on whether the introduction of the relevant harmful organisms has been caused by inadequate examinations or inspections and the consequences of such verifications;
(9) The measures provided in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
The allocation of a Community financial contribution to cover expenditure incurred by France relating directly to necessary measures as specified in Article 19c(2) of Directive 77/93/EEC and taken for the purpose of combating Clavibacter michiganensis, Globodera pallida and Globodera rostochiensis, Xanthomonas axonopodis, is hereby approved.
The maximum amount of the Community financial contribution shall be EUR 89972.
The repartition of the contribution shall be:
- EUR 5437 for the measures taken for the purpose of combating Clavibacter michiganensis,
- EUR 3821 for the measures taken for the purpose of combating G. pallida and G. rostochiensis,
- EUR 80714 for measures taken for the purpose of combating Xanthomonas axonopodis.
1. Subject to the verifications of the Commission under Article 19d(1) of Directive 77/93/EEC, the Community financial contribution shall be paid only when evidence of the measures taken has been given to the Commission through documentation related to the occurrence and the eradication of the harmful organisms referred to in Article 1.
2. The documentation referred to in paragraph 1 shall include:
(a) an eradication report in respect of each holding on which plants and plant products were destroyed. The report shall contain information on:
- location and address of the holding,
- date on which the presence of harmful organism was suspected and the date on which its presence was confirmed,
- quantity of plants and plant products destroyed,
- method of destruction and disinfection,
- amount of samples taken for examination and for testing for the presence of the harmful organism,
- method of testing,
- results of examinations and/or testing,
- presumed origin of the occurrence in France;
(b) a monitoring report on the presence of the harmful organisms in Article 1, and on the extent of the contamination by these organisms including detailed data of inspections and tests carried out thereon.
(c) a financial report including the list of beneficiaries and their addresses, and the amounts paid (excluding VAT and taxes).

| COUNCIL DECISION of 30 March 1992 amending Seventh Decision 85/355/EEC on the equivalence of field inspections carried out in third countries on seed-producing crops and Seventh Decision 85/356/EEC on the equivalence of seed produced in third countries (92/221/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/401/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of fodder plant seed (1), and in particular Article 16 (1) (b) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/402/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of cereal seed (2), and in particular Article 16 (1) (b) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 69/208/EEC of 30 June 1969 on the marketing of seed and oil and fibre plants (3), and in particular Article 15 (1) (b) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, in its Decision 85/355/EEC (4), the Council determined that field inspections carried out in certain third countries on seed-producing crops of certain species satisfied the conditions laid down in Council Directive 66/400/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of beet seed (5) and in Directive 66/401/EEC, 66/402/EEC and 69/208/EEC;
Whereas, in its Decision 85/356/EEC (6), the Council determined that seed of certain species produced in certain third countries was equivalent to corresponding seed produced in the Community;
Whereas, in the case of Austria in respect of maize and Australia in respect of lucerne and sunflower, additional detailed information was requested; whereas the equivalence granted in respect of those countries was limited to a period thought necessary to examine and assess that additional information, namely a period expiring, with regard to Austria, on 31 March 1992 and, with regard to Australia, on 30 June 1992;
Whereas, the examination and assessment of the information requested of the abovementioned third countries is still being carried out for the species concerned; whereas it is therefore appropriate to extend the abovementioned periods until 30 June 1995, the date on which Decisions 85/355/EEC and 85/356/EEC expire in respect of the majority of third countries;
Whereas it has since been established that in Morocco there are also rules on seed control for a range of plant species, which include provision for official field inspections to be carried out during the period of seed production;
Whereas an examination of the said rules and of the manner in which they are applied in Morocco has shown that, for certain species, the prescribed field inspections satisfied the conditions laid down in Annex I to Directives 66/401/EEC, 66/402/EEC or 69/208/EEC, as the case may be, and the conditions governing seed harvested and controlled there afforded, as regards the seed's characteristics, namely identity, examination, marking and control, the same assurance as do the conditions applicable to such seed harvested and controlled within the Community;
Whereas Morocco should therefore be granted equivalence in respect of certain species;
Whereas Decisions 85/355/EEC and 85/356/EEC should be amended as a result,
Article 3
of Decision 85/355/EEC shall be replaced by the following:
'Article 3
This Decision shall apply from 1 July 1990 to 30 June 1995.'
Article 5

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Interinstitutional Agreement of 2 December 2013 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline, on cooperation in budgetary matters and on sound financial management (1), and in particular point 14 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas,
(1) Article 13 of Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013 (2) has established a Contingency Margin of up to 0,03 % of the Gross National Income of the Union.
(2) In accordance with Article 6 of that Regulation, the Commission has calculated the absolute amount of the Contingency Margin for 2014 (3).
(3) After having examined all other financial possibilities to react to unforeseen circumstances that have arisen after the multiannual financial framework payment ceiling for 2014 was first established in February 2013, it appears necessary to mobilise the Contingency Margin to complement the payment appropriations in the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2014, above the payment ceiling.
(4) An amount of EUR 350 million in payment appropriations should be included in the mobilisation of the Contingency Margin pending an agreement on payments for other special instruments.
(5) Having regard to the very particular situation which has arisen this year, the last-resort condition in Article 13(1) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013 is fulfilled.
(6) To ensure compliance with Article 13(3) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013, the Commission should present a proposal on the offsetting of the relevant amount in the MFF payment ceilings for one or more future financial years, having due regard to the agreement on payments for other special instruments, and without prejudice to the institutional prerogatives of the Commission,
For the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2014, the Contingency Margin shall be used to provide the sum of EUR 3 168 233 715 in payment appropriations over and above the payment ceiling of the multiannual financial framework.
The sum of EUR 2 818 233 715 shall be offset in three instalments against the margins under the payment ceilings for the following years:
(a) 2018: EUR 939 411 200;
(b) 2019: EUR 939 411 200;
(c) 2020: EUR 939 411 315.
The Commission is invited to present in a timely manner a proposal concerning the remaining amount of EUR 350 million.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 of 20 December 1992 establishing a Community system for fisheries and aquaculture (1), and in particular Article 8 (4) thereof,

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community and, in particular, Article 84(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 189(c) of the Treaty (3),
Whereas Directive 93/75/EEC (4) does not explicitly mention provisions applicable to the carriage by sea of the radioactive materials referred to in Resolution A.748(18) of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) concerning the Code for the safe carriage of irradiated nuclear fuel, plutonium and high-level radioactive wastes in flasks on board ships (INF Code);
Whereas there is a need to enhance safety at sea and to prevent pollution of the sea in connection with the transport of irradiated nuclear fuel, plutonium and high-level radioactive waste;
Whereas it is essential, for reasons of clarity, that the INF Code is included in the list of international Conventions, Codes and Resolutions referred to in Article 2 of the Directive; whereas that clarification will enable the competent authorities to obtain the relevant information as to the nature of radioactive materials carried and their location on board ships and thus help prevent and minimize the risk of accidents involving ships transporting such materials;
Whereas the notification of the INF Class of the ship, which refers to the total radioactive quantity which may be carried on board, will provide more detailed information to the relevant competent authorities, and thus contribute to improving their response in case of an accident or incident at sea involving radioactive materials;
Whereas it should be possible to amend Annexes I and II to Directive 93/75/EEC, through a simplified procedure, in line with developments in international law and, in particular, with amendments to international conventions, codes and resolutions not referred to in Article 2 of the Directive which have entered into force since the Directive was adopted; whereas, however, these amendments should neither broaden the scope of this Directive, nor alter the reporting requirements as described in the Directive, and in particular should not lead to extending the reporting requirements of the Directive to transiting ships; whereas the procedure provided for in Article 12 of the Directive appears to be the most appropriate way of introducing such amendments; whereas Article 11 should be supplemented to that effect;
Whereas the contents of Annexes I and II to Directive 93/75/EEC should be amended to take account of the amendments to international conventions, codes and resolutions not referred to in Article 2 thereof which have entered into force since the Directive was adopted,
Directive 93/75/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. in Article 2:
- the following shall be inserted in paragraph (c), after the words 'IMDG Code`:
'including radioactive materials as referred to in the INF Code,`
- the following paragraph shall be inserted:
'(i) "INF Code" means the IMO code for the safe carriage of irradiated nuclear fuel, plutonium and high-level radioactive wastes in flasks on board ships, as it is in force on 1 January 1998;`,
- paragraphs (i), (j) and (k) shall become paragraphs (j), (k) and (l) respectively;
2. in Article 11:
- in the first indent, '(e), (f), (g), (h) and (i)` shall be replaced by '(e), (f), (g), (h), (i) and (j)`,
- the following indent shall be added:
'- amend the Annexes to this Directive in line with the relevant subsequent amendments to international conventions, codes and resolutions on safety at sea and the protection of the marine environment which have entered into force, without broadening its scope.`;
3. Annexes I and II shall be replaced by the Annex to this Directive.
1. Member States shall adopt the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive no later than 31 December 1998. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
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 a reference shall be laid down by the Member States.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the texts of the basic provisions of national law which they adopt in the field governed by this Directive.

Whereas:
(1) In accordance with the offer it made within the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (Unctad) and alongside its scheme of generalised preferences (GSP), the Community introduced tariff preferences in 1971 for jute and coconut-fibre products originating in certain developing countries; these preferences took the form of a gradual reduction of Common Customs Tariff duties and, from 1978 to 31 December 1994, the complete suspension of these duties.
(2) Since the entry into force of the new GSP scheme on 1 January 1995, the Community has, alongside the GATT, opened autonomous zero-duty Community tariff quotas for specific quantities of jute and coconut-fibre products until 31 December 2004 by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2511/2001 (2) amending Council Regulation (EC) No 32/2000.

Whereas:
(1) Protocol 31 to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (‘the EEA Agreement’) contains specific provisions and arrangements concerning cooperation in specific fields outside the four freedoms.
(2) It is appropriate to extend the cooperation of the Contracting Parties to the EEA Agreement to include Regulation (EU) No 1295/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2).
(3) Protocol 31 to the EEA Agreement should therefore be amended accordingly, in order to allow for this extended cooperation to take place from 1 January 2014.

Whereas it appears necessary to make a temporary derogation from the rules for conversion into national currencies of the amounts fixed in ecus on the grounds of the disturbances occuring in the European Monetary System;

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on genetically modified food and feed (1), and in particular Articles 7(3) and 19(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 2 November 2004, Monsanto Europe S.A. submitted to the competent authorities of Belgium an application, in accordance with Articles 5 and 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, for the placing on the market of foods, food ingredients, and feed containing, consisting of, or produced from MON863xMON810xNK603 maize (‘the application’).
(2) The application also covers the placing on the market of other products containing or consisting of MON863xMON810xNK603 maize for the same uses as any other maize with the exception of cultivation. Therefore, in accordance with the provision of Articles 5(5) and 17(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, it includes the data and information required by Annexes III and IV to Directive 2001/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 March 2001 on the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms (2) and information and conclusions about the risk assessment carried out in accordance with the principles set out in Annex II to Directive 2001/18/EC.
(3) On 31 March 2006, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) gave a favourable opinion in accordance with Articles 6 and 18 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 and concluded that it is unlikely that the placing on the market of the products containing, consisting of, or produced from MON863xMON810xNK603 maize as described in the application (‘the products’) will have adverse effects on human or animal health or the environment (3). In its opinion, EFSA concluded that it was acceptable to use the data for the single events in support of the safety of the products and considered all specific questions and concerns raised by the Member States in the context of the consultation of the national competent authorities provided for by Articles 6(4) and 18(4) of that Regulation.
(4) In October 2006, upon request of the Commission, EFSA published detailed clarifications on how the comments of the competent authorities of the Member States had been taken into account in its opinion and also published further information on the different elements considered by the Scientific Panel on Genetically Modified Organisms of EFSA.
(5) In its opinion, EFSA also concluded that the environmental monitoring plan, consisting of a general surveillance plan, submitted by the applicant is in line with the intended use of the products.
(6) On 26 February 2007, in the light of a report published by the World Health Organisation listing kanamycin and neomycin as ‘critically important antibacterial agents for human medicine and for risk management strategies of non-human use’, the European Medicines Agency issued a statement highlighting the therapeutic relevance of both antibiotics in human and veterinary medicine. On 13 April 2007, taking into account this statement, EFSA indicated that the therapeutic effect of the antibiotics at stake will not be compromised by the presence of the nptII gene in GM plants. This is due to the extremely low probability of gene transfer from plants to bacteria and its subsequent expression and to the fact that this antibiotic resistant gene in bacteria is already widespread in the environment. It thus confirmed its previous assessment of the safe use of the antibiotic resistance marker gene nptII in genetically modified organisms and their derived products for food and feed uses.
(7) On 14 May 2008, the Commission sent a mandate to EFSA, with a request: (i) to prepare a consolidated scientific opinion taking into account the previous opinion and the statement on the use of ARM genes in GM plants intended or already authorised to be placed on the market and their possible uses for import and processing and for cultivation; and (ii) to indicate the possible consequences of this consolidated opinion on the previous EFSA assessments on individual GMOs containing ARM genes. The mandate brought to the attention of EFSA, inter alia, letters by the Commission from Denmark and Greenpeace.
(8) On 11 June 2009, EFSA published a statement on the use of ARM genes in GM plants which concludes that the previous assessment of EFSA on MON863xMON810xNK603 maize is in line with the risk assessment strategy described in the statement, and that no new evidence has become available that would prompt EFSA to change its previous opinion.
(9) On 15 March 2007, following a scientific publication regarding a reanalysis of the MON 863 90-day rat study and questioning the safety of MON 863 maize, the Commission consulted EFSA on what impact this analysis study might have on its earlier opinion on MON 863 maize. On 28 June 2007, EFSA indicated that the publication does not raise new issues which are toxicologically relevant and confirmed its earlier favourable safety assessment on MON 863 maize.
(10) Taking into account those considerations, authorisation should be granted for the products.
(11) A unique identifier should be assigned to each GMO as provided for in Commission Regulation (EC) No 65/2004 of 14 January 2004 establishing a system for the development and assignment of unique identifiers for genetically modified organisms (4).
(12) On the basis of the EFSA opinion, no specific labelling requirements other than those provided for in Articles 13(1) and 25(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 appear to be necessary for the foods, food ingredients, and feed containing, consisting of, or produced from MON863xMON810xNK603 maize. However, in order to ensure the use of the products within the limits of authorisation provided by this Decision, the labelling of feed containing or consisting of the GMO and other products than food and feed containing or consisting of the GMO for which authorisation is requested should be complemented by a clear indication that the products in question must not be used for cultivation.
(13) Similarly, the EFSA opinion does not justify the imposition of specific conditions or restrictions for the placing on the market and/or specific conditions or restrictions for the use and handling, including post-market monitoring requirements, or of specific conditions for the protection of particular ecosystems/environment and/or geographical areas, as provided for in point (e) of Articles 6(5) and 18(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003. All relevant information on the authorisation of the products should be entered in the Community register of genetically modified food and feed as provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.
(14) Article 4(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1830/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 concerning the traceability and labelling of genetically modified organisms and the traceability of food and feed products produced from genetically modified organisms and amending Directive 2001/18/EC (5), lays down labelling requirements for products consisting of or containing GMOs.
(15) This Decision is to be notified through the Biosafety Clearing House to the Parties to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety to the Convention on Biological Diversity, pursuant to Article 9(1) and Article 15(2)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1946/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 July 2003 on transboundary movements of genetically modified organisms (6).
(16) The Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health has not delivered an opinion within the time-limit laid down by its Chairman.
(17) At its meeting on 18 February 2008, the Council was unable to reach a decision by qualified majority either for or against the proposal. It is accordingly for the Commission to adopt the measures,
Genetically modified organism and unique identifier
Genetically modified maize (Zea mays L.) MON863xMON810xNK603 produced by crosses between maize containing MON-ØØ863-5, MON-ØØ81Ø-6 and MON-ØØ6Ø3-6 events, as specified in point (b) of the Annex to this Decision, is assigned the unique identifier MON-ØØ863-5xMON-ØØ81Ø-6xMON-ØØ6Ø3-6, as provided for in Regulation (EC) No 65/2004.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1),
Having regard to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 of 7 June 2011 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 in respect of the fruit and vegetables and processed fruit and vegetables sectors (2), and in particular Article 136(1) thereof,
Whereas:

of 19 December 2002
laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 as regards the survey of prices of certain bovine animals on representative Community markets
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2345/2001(2), and in particular Article 41 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2705/98 of 14 December 1998 on the determination of prices of adult bovine animals on representative Community markets and the survey of prices of certain other cattle in the Community(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1156/2000(4), lays down provisions on the recording of prices on the representative market or markets of each Member State for the various categories of bovine animals in order to determine the movement of prices on the market. In view of recent market developments, and in particular the fact that fewer live adult bovine animals are marketed in the Member States and that Member States therefore no longer have representative markets for these animals, the communication to the Commission of prices of adult bovine animals is no longer considered necessary in order to monitor developments in the beef market. Nevertheless, Member States may communicate such prices recorded on their representative markets.
(2) To monitor the Community market for categories of bovine animals other than adult bovines, provision should be made for a survey of prices for male calves between eight days and four weeks, for male store cattle and for slaughter calves. Detailed rules on the information to be provided for the price survey for each of these bovine animal categories should be established.
(3) The price recorded on the representative markets of the Community may be taken as the average of the prices of the bovine animals in question on the representative market or markets of each Member State. This average should be weighted in accordance with the coefficients expressing the relative size of the cattle population of each Member State for each category marketed in a reference period.
(4) The representative market or markets for each Member State should be selected on the basis of experience in recent years. Where there is more than one representative market in a Member State account should be taken of the arithmetic average of the quotations recorded on these markets.
(5) Member States may, because of veterinary or health protection regulations, find it necessary to take measures which affect quotations. In such circumstances, it is not always suitable when recording market prices to take into account quotations which do not reflect the normal trend of the market. Consequently, certain criteria should be laid down allowing the Commission to take account of that situation.
(6) Provision should be made for the communication to the Commission of the weekly prices, through electronic means of transmission to be agreed upon by the Commission.
(7) Regulation (EC) No 2705/98 should accordingly be repealed.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
1. The average Community price, per head, of male calves between eight days and four weeks old shall be the average of the prices of those bovine animals, weighted by the coefficients laid down in Annex I, Part A, recorded on the main markets of the Member States representative of this type of production. The coefficients are established using the number of dairy cows recorded in the Community.
2. The prices of the bovine animals referred to in paragraph 1 recorded on the representative market or markets of each Member State concerned shall be the average, weighted by coefficients reflecting the relative proportion of each breed or quality, of the prices recorded exclusive of VAT for these animals during a seven-day period in that Member State at the same wholesale stage. The weighting coefficients are laid down in Annex I, Parts B to H.
3. The Member States concerned shall communicate to the Commission not later than midday on Thursday each week the quotations for the bovine animals referred to in paragraph 1 recorded on their respective markets during the seven-day period preceding the day on which the information is communicated.
1. The average Community price, per kilogram of live weight, of male store cattle aged on average between 6 and 12 months and weighing 300 kilograms or less, shall be the average of the prices of the bovine animals referred to above, weighted by the coefficients laid down in Annex II, Part A, recorded on the main markets of the Member States representative of this type of production. The coefficients are established using the number of suckler cows recorded in the Community.
2. The prices of the bovine animals referred to in paragraph 1 recorded on the representative market or markets of each Member State concerned shall be the average, weighted by coefficients reflecting the relative proportion of each breed or quality, of the prices recorded exclusive of VAT for these animals during a seven-day period in that Member State at the same wholesale stage. The weighting coefficients are laid down in Annex II, Parts B to F.
3. The Member States concerned shall communicate to the Commission not later than midday on Thursday each week the quotations for the bovine animals referred to in paragraph 1 recorded on their respective markets during the seven-day period preceding the day on which the information is communicated.
1. The average Community price, per 100 kilograms of carcase weight, of slaughter calves obtained principally using milk or milk preparations and slaughtered at around six months of age, shall be the average of the prices of the bovine animals referred to above, weighted by the coefficients laid down in Annex III, Part A, recorded on the main markets of the Member States representative of this type of production. The coefficients are established using the net production (slaughterings) of calves in the Community.
2. The prices of the bovine animals referred to in paragraph 1 recorded in the quotation centre or centres of the Member States concerned shall be the average, where appropriate weighted by coefficients reflecting the relative proportion of each quality, of the prices recorded exclusive of VAT for these animals during a seven-day period at the slaughterhouse entry stage. The weighting coefficients are laid down in Annex III, Parts B to E.
3. The Member States concerned shall communicate to the Commission not later than midday on Thursday each week the quotations for the carcases of the bovine animals referred to in paragraph 1, recorded in their respective quotation centres during the seven-day period preceding the day on which the information is communicated.
Where a Member State takes measures for veterinary or health protection reasons which affect the normal movement in quotations recorded on its markets, the Commission may authorise it either to disregard the quotations recorded on the market or markets in question, or to use the last quotations recorded on the market or markets in question before those measures were put into effect.
Member States shall use electronic means of transmission, to be agreed upon by the Commission, for the communications referred to in Article 1(3), Article 2(3) and Article 3(3) by 30 June 2003 at the latest.
Where Member States have representative markets for adult bovine animals on their territory, they may communicate the price of adult bovine animals as follows:
- the price of adult bovine animals on the representative market or markets shall be the average, weighted by coefficients reflecting the relative size of each category and quality, of the prices recorded for the categories and qualities of adult bovine animals and the meat thereof during a seven-day period prior to the day of the communication in that Member State at the same wholesale stage,
- in Member States with several representative markets, the price of each category shall be the arithmetic mean of the quotations recorded on each of these markets. Where markets are held more than once during the seven-day period referred to in the first indent above, the price of each category shall be the arithmetic mean of the quotations recorded each market day on the same physical market. If, in the course of any given week, the price is not recorded on a particular market for a particular category, the price for that category in the Member State shall be the arithmetical mean of the other markets.
Regulation (EC) No 2705/98 shall be repealed from 1 January 2003.
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 to prices recorded from the week beginning 1 January 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2511/69 of 9 December 1969 laying down special measures for improving the production and marketing of Community citrus fruit (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 793/76 (3), provides for additional aid to small growers to offset part of the loss of income entailed by replanting;
Whereas experience has shown that the conditions for granting this additional aid unduly limit the number of its recipients;
Whereas in order to take better account of the special situation of holdings in certain regions of the Community and of agricultural incomes compared with the trend of non-agricultural incomes and to enable certain growers with low incomes to receive aid, the conditions for granting this additional aid should be relaxed,
The first subparagraph of Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2511/69 is hereby amended to read as follows:
"The aid referred to in Article 1 (2) shall be paid to growers for whom oranges and mandarins are their main crop, on condition that: - the income derived from their holding does not exceed the income derived from four hectares of orange and mandarin trees,
- at least 40 % of the area used for growing orange and mandarin trees is replanted at one time,
- an area of at least 20 ares is replanted."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1027/79 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 28 November 1980, the Netherlands has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "Andrew-Telesat TCTS 8-meter antenna, with electrospace-93C-ID mini tracking control system", to be used for the development of propagation models for telecommunications purposes, should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 26 March 1981 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is an antenna;
Whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research ; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities ; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus ; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus, whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,
The apparatus described as "Andrew-Telesat TCTS 8-meter antenna, with electrospace-93C-ID mini tracking control system", which is the subject of an application by the Netherlands of 28 November 1980, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 13(2)(c) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The active substance ethylene was included in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC (2) by Commission Directive 2008/127/EC (3) in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 24b of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004 of 3 December 2004 laying down further detailed rules for the implementation of the fourth stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC (4). Since the replacement of Directive 91/414/EEC by Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, this substance is deemed to have been approved under that Regulation and is listed in Part A of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 of 25 May 2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the list of approved active substances (5).
(2) In accordance with Article 25a of Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004, the European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter ‘the Authority’, presented to the Commission its view on the draft review report for ethylene (6) on 16 December 2011. The Authority communicated its view on ethylene to the notifier. The Commission invited it to submit comments on the draft review report for ethylene. The draft review report and the view of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 1 February 2013 in the format of the Commission review report for ethylene.
(3) It is confirmed that the active substance ethylene is to be deemed to have been approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
(4) In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is necessary to amend the conditions of approval of ethylene. In particular, it is appropriate to modify the requested minimum purity level and to restrict the authorisations to indoor uses by professional users. Furthermore, when the Member States grant authorisations for plant protection products containing ethylene, they shall pay particular attention to the protection of operators, workers and bystanders and to the compliance of ethylene with the required specifications, irrespective of the form in which it is supplied to the user.
(5) The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) A reasonable period of time should be allowed before the application of this Regulation in order to allow Member States, the notifier and holders of authorisations for plant protection products containing ethylene to meet the requirements resulting from amendment to the conditions of the approval.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Part A of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 7 October 2013
on subjecting 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole to control measures
(2013/496/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Decision 2005/387/JHA of 10 May 2005 on the information exchange, risk-assessment and control of new psychoactive substances (1), and in particular Article 8(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal of the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) A Risk Assessment Report on the new psychoactive substance 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole was drawn up in accordance with Article 6 of Decision 2005/387/JHA by the extended Scientific Committee of the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) during a special session, and was subsequently submitted to the Commission and to the Council on 16 April 2013.
(2) The substance 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole is a synthetic derivative of indole substituted at the phenyl side of the indole ring system. It appears to be a stimulant substance that may also have hallucinogenic effects. 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole has been found mostly in powder form but also in tablet and capsule form. It is commercially available on the internet and from ‘head shops’, marketed as a ‘research chemical’. It has also been detected in samples of a product sold as a ‘legal high’ called ‘Benzo Fury’, and in tablets resembling ecstasy.
(3) The existing information and data suggest that the acute toxicity of 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole can provoke adverse effects in humans, such as tachycardia and hyperthermia, and may also cause mydriasis, agitation and tremor. 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole may interact with other substances, including medical products and stimulants that act on the monoaminergic system. The specific physical effects of 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole in humans are difficult to determine because there are no published studies assessing its acute and chronic toxicity, its psychological and behavioural effects, or dependence potential, and because of the limited information and data available.
(4) There have been a total of 24 fatalities registered in four Member States from April to August 2012, in relation to which 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole alone, or in combination with other substances, was detected in post-mortem samples. While it is not possible to determine with certainty the role of 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole in all of the fatalities, in some cases it has been specifically noted in the cause of death. If this new psychoactive substance were to become more widely available and used, the implications for individual and public health could be significant. There is no information available on the social risks posed by 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole.
(5) Nine European countries have reported to the EMCDDA and to the European Police Office (Europol) that they reported detection of 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole. No prevalence data is available on the use of 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole, but the limited information that exists suggests that it may be consumed in similar environments as other stimulants, such as in the home, in bars and nightclubs or at music festivals.
(6) There is no information that suggests that 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole is manufactured in the Union, and there is no evidence suggesting the involvement of organised crime in the manufacture, distribution or supply of this new psychoactive substance.
(7) The substance 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole has no known, established or acknowledged medical value or use, and there is no marketing authorisation covering this new psychoactive substance in the Union. Apart from its use as an analytical reference standard and in scientific research, there is no indication that it is being used for other purposes.
(8) The substance 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole has not been, nor is it currently, under assessment by the United Nations system, as defined in Decision 2005/387/JHA. Two Member States control this new psychoactive substance under their national legislation by virtue of their obligations under the 1971 United Nations Convention on Psychotropic Substances. Five European countries apply national legislation on new psychoactive substances, dangerous goods or medicines to control 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole.
(9) The Risk Assessment Report reveals that there is limited scientific evidence available on 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole and points out that further research would be needed to determine the health and social risks that it poses. However, the available evidence and information provides sufficient ground for subjecting 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole to control measures across the Union. As a result of the health risks that it poses, as documented by its detection in several reported fatalities, of the fact that users may unknowingly consume it, and of the lack of medical value or use, 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole should be subjected to control measures across the Union.
(10) Since six Member States already control 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole by means of different types of legislative provisions, subjecting this substance to control measures across the Union would help avoid the emergence of obstacles to cross-border law enforcement and judicial cooperation, and protect users from the risks that its consumption can pose.
(11) Decision 2005/387/JHA reserves to the Council implementing powers to enable the provision of a quick, expertise-based response at Union level to the emergence of new psychoactive substances detected and reported by the Member States, by means of submitting those substances to control measures across the Union. As the conditions and procedure for triggering the exercise of such implementing powers have been met, an implementing decision should be adopted in order to put 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole under control across the Union,
The new psychoactive substance 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole is hereby subjected to control measures across the Union.
By 13 October 2014, Member States shall take the necessary measures, in accordance with their national law, to subject 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole to control measures and criminal penalties, as provided for under their legislation complying with their obligations under the 1971 United Nations Convention on Psychotropic Substances.
This Decision shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. | 0.111111 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.222222 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26 June 1964 on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine (1), and in particular Articles 9(2) and 10(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 64/432/EEC lays down rules applicable to intra-Community trade in certain animals. Article 9 of that Directive provides for compulsory national programmes for certain contagious disease, including Aujeszky's disease, to be submitted to the Commission for approval. In addition, Article 10 of Directive 64/432/EC provides for Member States to submit documentation to the Commission concerning the status of those diseases in their territory.
(2) Commission Decision 2001/618/EC of 23 July 2001 on additional guarantees in intra-Community trade of pigs relating to Aujeszky’s disease, criteria to provide information on this disease and repealing Decisions 93/24/EEC and 93/244/EEC (2) contains a list of Member States or regions thereof free of Aujeszky's disease and where vaccination is prohibited in Annex I thereto. Annex II to Decision 2001/618/EC contains a list of Member States or regions thereof where disease control programme for that disease are in place.
(3) A programme for the eradication of Aujeszky’s disease has been implemented in Slovakia for several years.
(4) Slovakia has submitted supporting documentation to the Commission as regards the Aujeszky's disease-free status of the territory of Slovakia demonstrating that the disease has been eradicated from that Member State.
(5) The Commission has examined the documentation submitted by Slovakia and found it to comply with Article 10(1) of Directive 64/432/EEC. Accordingly, that Member State should be included in the list in Annex I to Decision 2001/618/EC.
(6) A programme for the eradication of Aujeszky's disease has been implemented in Spain for several years.
(7) Spain has now submitted supporting documentation to the Commission as regards the programme in place in the Autonomous Communities of Galicia, País Vasco, Asturias, Cantabria, Navarra, La Rioja, and the provinces of León, Zamora, Palencia, Burgos, Valladolid and Ávila in the Autonomous Community of Castilla y León and the province of Las Palmas in the Canary Islands and requested the approval of this programme.
(8) The Commission has examined the submitted documentation by Spain and found it to comply with the criteria laid down in Article 9(1) of Directive 64/432/EEC.

Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 3074/95 of 22 December 1995 fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1996 and certain conditions under which they may be fished (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1952/96 (4), provides for cod quotas for 1996;

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 4100/88 of 16 December 1988 opening, allocating and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for lemons and almonds (1989)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, in accordance with the Agreement with the United States of America on the Mediterranean preferences, citrus and pasta, the Community undertakes, in particular, to suspend provisionally and partially the customs duties applicable to lemons and almonds other than bitter almonds, within the limits of Community tariff quotas of appropriate volumes and of variable duration; whereas provision should be made that the Commission can, in order to be able to ensure that the reciprocal concessions agreed upon in the Agreement are balanced, suspend by means of a Regulation the application of these tariff measures;
Whereas it is therefore proper to open for all or part of 1989 the Community tariff quotas in question;
Whereas equal and continuous access to the quotas should be ensured for all Community importers and the tariff quota rates should be applied consistently to all imports until the quotas are used up; whereas, in the light of these principles, allocation of the tariff quotas among the Member States would seem to preserve the Community nature of the quotas; whereas, in order to correspond as closely as possible to the actual development of the market, the allocation should reflect the requirements of the Member States based on statistics of imports from third countries during a representative reference period and to the economic outlook for the tariff year in question;
Whereas, during the last three years for which complete statistics are available, imports into each of the Member States represented the following percentages of total imports of the product in question from third countries which do not benefit from an equivalent preferential tariff measure:
Member States Lemons Almonds 1985 1986 1987 1985 1986 1987 Benelux 53,80 54,80 43,61 7,77 11,28 7,39 Denmark 1,15 0,32 1,97 2,86 2,90 2,94 Germany 4,80 4,57 7,65 53,59 47,99 48,89 Greece 0 0,23 10,21 0 0,02 2,33 Spain 0 0 0 0 1,54 2,79 France 22,86 16,43 18,48 19,09 19,88 18,87 Ireland 0,11 0 0,28 0,05 0,07 0,04 Italy 0,

0,03 United Kingdom 17,28 23,65 17,79 13,91 14,78 10,56 Whereas, for 1989, maintenance of quotas for the Member States is necessary, bearing in mind that it is impossible for the administration concerned in each Member State to introduce, in 1989, the administrative and technical basis for Community administration of the quota; whereas it is, however, possible, bearing in mind the way in which trade has developed in recent years, to provide for a Community reserve of a significicantly large amount;
Whereas, in view of these factors and of market forecasts for these products for 1989, the initial percentage shares in the quota volume can be expressed approximately as follows:
Member States Lemons Almonds Benelux 51,39 8,86 Denmark 1,12 2,90 Germany 5,49 50,19 Greece 2,79 0,73 Spain - 1,40 France 19,73 19,30 Ireland 0,12 0,06 Italy - 3,38 Portugal - 0,01 United Kingdom 19,36 13,17 30. 12. 88 Official Journal of the European Communities Whereas to allow for possible import trends for these products the quota volumes should be divided into two parts; the first being allocated among the Member States and the second held as a reserve to cover any subsequent requirements of Member States which have used up their initial share as well as the requirements of the Member States which do not participate in the initial allocation; whereas, to afford importers some degree of certainty, the first part of each Community tariff quota should be set at a high level, which in this case could be 54 % of the quota volumes;
Whereas initial shares may be used up at different rates; whereas, in order to avoid disruption of supplies on this account, it should be provided that any Member State which has almost used up its initial share should draw an additional share from the correspondimg reserve; whereas each time its additional share is almost up a Member State should draw a further share and so on as many times as each of the reserves allows; whereas the initial and additional shares should be valid until the end of the quota period; whereas this form of administration requires close collaboration between the Member States and the Commission and the Commission must be able to keep account of quota utilization rates and inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas if at a given date in the quota period a considerable quantity of a Member State's initial share remains unused, it is essential that such State should return a significant proportion of this to the corresponding reserve in order to prevent part of the Community tariff quotas from remaining unused in one Member State while it could be used in others;
Whereas if, during the quota period, the Community reserve is almost totally used up, it is essential that Member States return to the said reserve the whole of the unused proportion of their initial quota and of any drawings made, in order to avoid one part of the Community tariff quotas remaining unused in one Member State when it could be used in others;
Whereas since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any measure concerning the administration of the shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
1. The customs duties applicable to imports of the products listed below shall be suspended for the periods, at the levels and within the limits of Community tariff quotas shown for each product:
Order No CN code Description Quota period Volume of quota (in tonnes) Rate of duty (in %) 09.0039 0805 30 10 Lemons (Citrus limon, Citrus limorium) From 15 January to 14 June 1989 10 000 6 09.0041 0802 11 90 0802 12 90 Almonds, whether or not shelled, other than bitter almonds From 1 January to 31 December 1989 45 000 2 2. Within the limit of these tariff quotas, the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic shall apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions in the 1985 Act of Accession.
1. The Community tariff quota referred in Article 1 shall be divided into two parts.
2. A first tranche of 5 400 tonnes for lemons and 24 300 tonnes for almonds shall be allocated among certain Member States; the respective shares of the Member States which, subject to Article 5, are valid during the periods indicated in Article 1 (1) shall correspond to the following volumes (in tonnes):
Member State Order No 09.0039 09.0041 Benelux 2 776 2 153 Denmark 60 705 Germany 296 12 196 Greece 151 177 Spain - 340 France 1 065 4 690 Ireland 6 15 Italy - 822 Portugal - 2 United Kingdom 1 046 3 200 3. The second tranche of each of the quotas referred to in Article 1 (1) amounting to 4 600 and 20 700 tonnes respectively, shall constitute the corresponding reserve.
4. If an importer indicates that he is about to import any of the products in question into a Member State which does not participate in the initial allocation or which has exhausted its initial quota and applies to use the corresponding quota, the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission and draw an amount corresponding to its requirements to the extent that the available balance of the quota so permits.
5. Without prejudice to Article 3, the drawings made pursuant to paragraph 4 shall be valid until the end of the quota period.
1. Once at least 80 % of the reserve of one of the tariff quotas, as defined in Article 2 (3), has been used up, the Commission shall inform the Member States thereof.
2. It shall also notify Member States in this case of the date from which drawings on the Community reserve must be made according to the following provisions.
If an importer presents in a Member State a declaration of entry into free circulation including a request for preferential benefit for a product covered by this Regulation, and if this declaration is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member States concerned shall draw, from the Community reserve, by means of notification to the Commission, a quantity corresponding to these needs.
The requests for drawing, with the indication of the date of acceptance of the said declarations must be communicated to the Commission without delay.
The drawings are granted by the Commission on the basis of the date of acceptance of the declaration of entry into free circulation by the customs authorities of the Member State concerned, to the extent that the available balance so permits.
If a Member State does not use the quantities drawn it shall return them as soon as possible to the reserve.
If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the reserve, allocation shall be made on a pro rata basis with respect to the requests. Member States shall be informed by the Commission in accordance with the same procedures.
3. Within a time limit fixed by the Commission as from the date referred to in the first subparagraph of paragraph 2, Member States shall be required to return to the reserve all the quantities which have not been used on that date, within the meaning of Article 5 (3) and (4).
The Commission shall keep an account of the shares drawn by the Member States pursuant to Articles 2 and 3 and shall, as soon as it has been notified, inform each State of the extent to which the reserves have been used up.
It shall inform the Member States, of the amounts still in reserve after amounts have been returned thereto pursuant to Article 3.
It shall ensure that the drawing which uses up a reserve does not exceed the balance available and to this end shall notify the amount of that balance to the Member State making the last drawing.
1. The Member States shall take all measures necessary to ensure that drawings of shares pursuant to Articles 2 (4) and 3 are carried out in such a way that imports may be charged without interruption against their accumulated shares in the Community tariff quotas.
2. The Member States shall ensure that importers of the products in question have free access to the shares allocated to them.
3. The Member States shall charge imports of the products against their shares as and when they are entered with the customs authorities for free circulation.
4. The extent to which a Member State has used up its share shall be determined on the basis of imports charged in accordance with paragraph 3.
At the request of the Commission, Member States shall inform it of imports of the products concerned actually charged against their shares.
The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely in order to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.
The Commission may, by means of a Regulation, suspend the application of the tariff measures put into effect by this Regulation should it transpire that the reciprocal measures provided for in the Agreement were no longer being applied.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1989.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

(1) Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the difference between prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund within the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that when the refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of the abovementioned Regulation, exported in the natural state, are being fixed, account must be taken of:
- the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of milk and milk products on the Community market and prices for milk and milk products in international trade,
- marketing costs and the most favourable transport charges from Community markets to ports or other points of export in the Community, as well as costs incurred in placing the goods on the market of the country of destination,
- the aims of the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products which are to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on this market,
- the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty, and
- the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market, and
- the economic aspect of the proposed exports.
(3) Article 31(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that when prices within the Community are being determined account should be taken of the ruling prices which are most favourable for exportation, and that when prices in international trade are being determined particular account should be taken of:
(a) prices ruling on third country markets;
(b) the most favourable prices in third countries of destination for third country imports;
(c) producer prices recorded in exporting third countries, account being taken, where appropriate, of subsidies granted by those countries; and
(d) free-at-Community-frontier offer prices.
(4) Article 31(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund on the products listed in Article 1 of the abovementioned Regulation according to destination.
(5) Article 31(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the list of products on which export refunds are granted and the amount of such refunds should be fixed at least once every four weeks; the amount of the refund may, however, remain at the same level for more than four weeks.
(6) In accordance with Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 174/1999 of 26 January 1999 on specific detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 804/68 as regards export licences and export refunds on milk and milk products(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1392/2003(4), the refund granted for milk products containing added sugar is equal to the sum of the two components; one is intended to take account of the quantity of milk products and is calculated by multiplying the basic amount by the milk products content in the product concerned; the other is intended to take account of the quantity of added sucrose and is calculated by multiplying the sucrose content of the entire product by the basic amount of the refund valid on the day of exportation for the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(5), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(6), however, this second component is applied only if the added sucrose has been produced using sugar beet or cane harvested in the Community.
(7) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 896/84(7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 222/88(8), laid down additional provisions concerning the granting of refunds on the change from one milk year to another; those provisions provide for the possibility of varying refunds according to the date of manufacture of the products.
(8) For the calculation of the refund for processed cheese provision must be made where casein or caseinates are added for that quantity not to be taken into account.
(9) It follows from applying the rules set out above to the present situation on the market in milk and in particular to quotations or prices for milk products within the Community and on the world market that the refund should be as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
The export refunds referred to in Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 on products exported in the natural state shall be as set out in the Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 12 December 2003.

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) On 14 May 2007, the Council authorised the Commission to negotiate a Framework Agreement with the Socialist Republic of Vietnam on Comprehensive Partnership and Cooperation (‘the Agreement’).
(2) The provisions of the Agreement that fall within the scope of Part Three, Title V of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union bind the United Kingdom and Ireland as separate Contracting Parties, and not as part of the European Union, unless the European Union together with the United Kingdom and/or Ireland have jointly notified the Socialist Republic of Vietnam that the United Kingdom or Ireland is bound as part of the European Union in accordance with the Protocol (No 21) on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland in respect of the area of Freedom, Security and Justice annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. If the United Kingdom and/or Ireland ceases to be bound as part of the European Union in accordance with Article 4a of the Protocol (No 21), the European Union together with the United Kingdom and/or Ireland are to immediately inform the Socialist Republic of Vietnam of any change in their position in which case they are to remain bound by the provisions of the Agreement in their own right. The same applies to Denmark in accordance with the Protocol (No 22) on the position of Denmark annexed to those Treaties.
(3) Where the United Kingdom and/or Ireland have not provided the notification required under Article 3 of the Protocol (No 21) on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland in respect of the area of Freedom, Security and Justice, they do not take part in the adoption by the Council of this Decision to the extent that it covers provisions pursuant to Part Three, Title V of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 42 and 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas for the purpose of applying the penalties provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 (3), Member States may apply one or more national base areas; whereas, in this case, Member States may opt to subdivide each national base area into sub-base areas and to concentrate all or part of the measures to be taken on those sub-base areas for which an overshoot has been noted;
Whereas Member States are required to notify producers and the Commission before 15 May if they plan to avail themselves of this option, stating how they intend to apply the measures;
Whereas experience gained in 1997 has shown that 15 May is not an appropriate notification date;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 provides that producers are required to set aside a predetermined percentage of their arable land each year; whereas producers are eligible for compensatory payments for land set aside beyond their obligation; whereas the area fallowed may not, however, exceed that intended for arable crops for which a compensatory payment is requested; whereas the areas set aside in the form of compulsory or voluntary fallowing may be put to non-food uses, of which the planting of multiannual crops with a view to biomass production offers, in certain regions, attractive possibilities for diversification;
Whereas national authorities should be allowed to accord more favourable treatment to production of this type by adjusting the national aid systems so as to cover, in part, the costs associated with establishing these multiannual crops;
Whereas an adequate area per holding is necessary for cultivation of these energy crops to be at all viable; whereas in this case it should be made possible for the area put out to fallow, bearing multiannual crops intended for biomass production, to exceed the area intended for arable crops;
Whereas it is advisable to extend by 12 months the 60-month period during which producers having set aside land under Regulation (EEC) No 2328/91 (4) were entitled to continue with that set-aside, in order to avoid the recultivation of such land or to prevent producers who had started cultivating certain energy crops on such land from being placed in difficulty;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 is amended as follows:
1. The fifth subparagraph of Article 2(7) shall be replaced by the following:
'Any Member State which has decided to apply the possibilities provided for in this paragraph shall notify producers and the Commission by 15 September of its choices and the detailed rules for their application.`;
2. Article 7 shall be amended as follows:
(a) the second subparagraph of paragraph 4 shall be replaced by the following:
'Member States shall be authorised to pay national aid of up to 50 % of the costs associated with establishing multiannual crops intended for biomass production on set-aside land.`;
(b) the following shall be added to the first subparagraph of paragraph 6:
'However, when the fallow area is used for multiannual crops intended for biomass-production, Member States may authorise producers to set aside an area greater than that intended for arable crops for which a compensatory payment is requested.`;
(c) in the second subparagraph of paragraph 6, '60 months` shall be replaced by '72 months`.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from the 1998/1999 marketing year.
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 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0.333333 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (1), and in particular Article 22(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Following the detection of residues of veterinary medicines in certain products of animal origin imported from China, and the shortcomings identified during an inspection visit to that country as regards the regulation of veterinary medicines and the residue control system in live animals and animal products, the Commission adopted Decision 2002/69/EC of 30 January 2002 concerning certain protective measures with regard to the products of animal origin imported from China (2).
(2) In the light of the information provided by the Chinese competent authority and the favourable results of the checks carried out by Member States importation of certain products of animal origin from China was authorised by means of several amendments to Decision 2002/69/EC, which were consolidated in Commission Decision 2002/994/EC (3).
(3) In view of the implementation of corrective measures and the guarantees provided by the Chinese competent authority, the favourable results of a new inspection visit to China, and the results of the checks carried out by Member States when importing products from China, it may now be considered that products of animal origin imported from China are subject to complete and systematic food and feed safety checks.
(4) The Chinese competent authority has guaranteed, in particular, that each consignment of products of animal origin intended for human consumption or animal nutrition in the Community must undergo a systematic pre-shipment check in order to detect the presence of residues of veterinary medicines. The Chinese competent authority has also guaranteed that all consignments will be accompanied by a declaration of the competent authority confirming that the products have been checked before export and including the results of the analytical checks.
(5) In view of the results and guarantees explained above, it is appropriate to replace the protective measures provided for by Decision 2002/994/EC by a requirement that the consignments concerned be tested at the place of origin before export to the Community, and be accompanied by a corresponding attestation.
(6) However, the inspection visit still identified some deficiencies as regards the sanitary conditions applied in China to the production of poultry meat intended for export to the Community. In view of those deficiencies, together with the situation created by the outbreaks of avian influenza, the restrictions on imports of poultry meat cannot yet be lifted.
(7) Decision 2002/994/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Decision 2002/994/EC is amended as follows:
1. Articles 2 and 3 are replaced by the following:
2. Article 4 is deleted;
3. Article 6 is replaced by the following:
4. The Annex is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision shall apply from 31 August 2004.

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1355/86 has amended Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 by including hybrid sorghum for sowing among the products covered by the common organization of the market in seeds and making it subject to the reference price system for hybrid maize;
Whereas Article 6 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 provides that a reference price for each type of hybrid maize and hybrid sorghum for sowing is to be fixed annually; whereas those reference prices must be fixed on the basis of the free-at-frontier prices recorded during the last three marketing years except for abnormally low prices; whereas, pursuant to Article 2 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1578/72 of 20 July 1972 laying down general rules for fixing reference prices and for determining free-at-frontier offer prices for hybrid maize and hybrid sorghum for sowing (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1984/86 (4), only prices for imports from third countries which are representative in terms of quantity and quality of the product should be taken into consideration;
Whereas imports of the types of hybrid maize for sowing falling within subheading 10.05 A IV 'Other' of the Common Customs Tariff may not be considered as representative on account of the very small quantity involved; whereas no reference prices may therefore be fixed for those types of maize;

Whereas, in order to ensure uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff, provisions must be laid down concerning the tariff classification of a self-propelled container and pallet loader, used in airports for loading and unloading aircraft. It is composed mainly of:
- a lifting system consisting of two platforms each supported by a scissor lift and operated by hydraulic cylinders. The surface of the platforms is fitted with a belt conveyor and with powered rollers enabling longitudinal and transverse container and pallet transfer,
- a control platform,
- an internal combustion engine used for operating both the handling system and the propulsion system,
- a gearbox,
- brakes,
- stabilizers which function during handling operations;
Whereas the Common Customs Tariff annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 (2), as last amended by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3000/82 (3), classifies 'works trucks, mechanically propelled, of the types used in airports for short-distance transport or handling of goods' under heading No 87.07 and 'lifting, handling, loading or unloading machinery' under heading No 84.22;
Whereas these two headings merit consideration for the classification of the abovementioned vehicle;
Whereas the vehicle in question is not used, even over short distances, for the transport of containers or other goods; whereas it is placed, unloaded, next to the aircraft and used for handling containers and pallets during the loading and unloading of aircraft;
Whereas, consequently, this is not a works truck fitted with lifting equipment but a self-propelled lifting machine for loading and unloading;
Whereas, therefore, the machine in question must be classified under subheading 84.22 B IV of the Common Customs Tariff;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Common Customs Tariff Nomenclature,
A self-propelled container and pallet loader, used in airports for loading and unloading aircraft, composed mainly of:
- a lifting system consisting of two platforms each supported by a scissor lift and operated by hydraulic cylinders. The surface of the platforms is fitted with a belt conveyor and with powered rollers ensuring longitudinal and transverse container and pallet transfer,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant-protection products on the market(1), as last amended by Commission Directive 2000/80/EC(2), and in particular Article 6(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 91/414/EEC (hereinafter "the Directive") provides for the development of a Community list of active substances authorised for incorporation in plant-protection products.
(2) A dossier for the active substance mesosulfuron methyl was submitted by Aventis to the French authorities on 15 December 2000 with a view to obtaining its inclusion in Annex I to the Directive.
(3) The French authorities have indicated to the Commission that, on preliminary examination, the dossier appears to satisfy the data and information requirements of Annex II to the Directive. Further, they believe that the dossier contains the data and information required by Annex III to the Directive in respect of one plant-protection product containing that active substance. Subsequently, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2), the dossier was forwarded by the applicant to the Commission and other Member States.
(4) The dossier was referred to the Standing Committee on Plant Health on 2 February 2001.
(5) Article 6(3) of the Directive requires formal confirmation at Community level that each dossier is considered as satisfying in principle the data and information requirements provided for in Annex II and, for at least one plant-protection product containing the active substance concerned, the requirements of Annex III to the Directive.
(6) Such confirmation is necessary in order to permit the detailed examination of the dossier as well as to allow Member States the possibility of granting provisional authorisation for plant-protection products containing this active substance in accordance with Article 8(1) of the Directive.

The dossier submitted by Aventis to the Commission and the Member States with a view to the inclusion of mesosulfuron methyl as an active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, which was referred to the Standing Committee on Plant Health on 2 February 2001, satisfies in principle the data and information requirements provided for in Annex II to the Directive. The dossier satisfies the data and information requirements set out in Annex III to the Directive in respect of one plant-protection product containing mesosulfuron methyl, taking into account the uses proposed.
