COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1196/2012
of 13 December 2012
amending Regulation (EU) No 9/2010 as regards the minimum content of a preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Trichoderma reesei (ATCC PTA 5588) as a feed additive in feed for laying hens (holder of authorisation Danisco Animal Nutrition)
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The use of a preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) produced by Trichoderma reesei (ATCC PTA 5588), belonging to the additive category of ‘zootechnical additives’, was authorised for 10 years as a feed additive for use on chickens for fattening, laying hens, ducks and turkeys for fattening by Commission Regulation (EU) No 9/2010 (2), for weaned piglets and pigs for fattening by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 528/2011 (3) and for minor poultry species other than ducks by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1021/2012 (4).
(2) In accordance with Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, the holder of the authorisation has proposed changing the terms of the authorisation of the preparation concerned by reducing its minimum content from 2 500 U/kg to 625 U/kg as regards the use on laying hens. The application was accompanied by the relevant supporting data. The Commission forwarded that application to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’).
(3) The Authority concluded in its opinion of 22 May 2012 (5) that, under the new proposed conditions of use, the preparation concerned is efficacious at the requested minimum dose of 625 U/kg. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(4) The conditions provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 are satisfied.
(5) Regulation (EU) No 9/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 9/2010 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.

32000D0809 | 2000/809/EC: Council Decision of 19 December 2000 on the granting of exceptional national aid by the Government of the Italian Republic for the distillation of certain wine sector products
| Council Decision
of 19 December 2000
on the granting of exceptional national aid by the Government of the Italian Republic for the distillation of certain wine sector products
(2000/809/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 88(2), third subparagraph, thereof,
Having regard to the request made by the Government of the Italian Republic on 6 December 2000,
Whereas:
(1) Article 30 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine(1) allows a crisis distillation measure if there is an exceptional case of wine market disturbance caused by serious surpluses and/or problems of quality.
(2) An imbalance on the wine market as a result of surplus wine stocks prompted the Italian Government to request the introduction of crisis distillation, pursuant to Article 30 of the aforementioned Regulation, for 120000 hectolitres of wine obtained by fermentation of products suitable for the production of "Asti" and "Moscato d'Asti"; the Management Committee for Wine gave a favourable opinion on 28 November 2000.
(3) The introduction of such crisis distillation involves the payment of Community aid of EUR 1,914/% vol/hl (ITL 3706,02), which the Italian Government thinks altogether insufficient either to avoid loss of income for producers, given the low level of prices, or to prevent greater market disturbance, taking into account the very high production costs resulting inter alia from the keeping of stocks which have to be refrigerated and from the cost of measures for the restructuring of production.
(4) To deal with these difficulties, the Italian Government is requesting authorisation to grant exceptional additional aid equivalent to EUR 12,390/% vol/hl (ITL 23990,38) for application to the total quantity of wine to be covered by crisis distillation; the overall expenditure is estimated at around EUR 15,5 million (approx. ITL 30 billion).
(5) The aid in question, for a limited quantity of a high-quality product such as "Asti" and "Moscato d'Asti", is justified on account of the current crisis on the wine market, which could worsen further without a sufficient level of intervention.
(6) Exceptional circumstances therefore exist, making it possible to consider such aid, by way of derogation and to the extent strictly necessary to remedy the imbalance which has arisen, to be compatible with the common market on the terms specified in this Decision,
Exceptional additional aid by the Italian Government for the distillation of 120000 hectolitres of wine obtained by fermentation of products suitable for the production of "Asti" and "Moscato d'Asti", amounting to EUR 12,390/% vol/hl (ITL 23990,38), shall be considered to be compatible with the common market.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 of 26 June 1990 laying down a Community procedure for the establishment of maximum residue limits of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1943/1999(2), and in particular Articles 6 and 8 thereof,
(1) Whereas, in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90, maximum residue limits must be established progressively for all pharmacologically active substances which are used within the Community in veterinary medicinal products intended for administration to food-producing animals;
(2) Whereas maximum residue limits should be established only after examination within the Committee for Veterinary Medicinal Products of all the relevant information concerning the safety of residues of the substance concerned for the consumer of foodstuffs of animal origin and the impact of residues on the industrial processing of foodstuffs;
(3) Whereas, in establishing maximum residue limits for residues of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin, it is necessary to specify the animal species in which residues may be present, the levels which may be present in each of the relevant meat tissues obtained from the treated animal (target tissue) and the nature of the residue which is relevant for the monitoring of residues (marker residue);
(4) Whereas, for the control of residues, as provided for in appropriate Community legislation, maximum residue limits should usually be established for the target tissues of liver or kidney; whereas, however, the liver and kidney are frequently removed from carcases moving in international trade, and maximum residue limits should therefore also always be established for muscle or fat tissues;
(5) Whereas, in the case of veterinary medicinal products intended for use in laying birds, lactating animals or honey bees, maximum residue limits must also be established for eggs, milk or honey;
(6) Whereas flubendazole and florfenicol should be inserted into Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
(7) Whereas strychni semen, ruta graveolens, ruscus aculeatus, lauri fructus, lauri folii aetheroleum, juniperi fructus, hippocastani semen and capsici fructus acer should be inserted into Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
(8) Whereas, in order to allow for the completion of scientific studies, phoxim should be inserted into Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
(9) Whereas a period of 60 days should be allowed before the entry force of this Regulation in order to allow Member States to make any adjustment which may be necessary to the authorisations to place the veterinary medicinal products concerned on the market which have been granted in accordance with Council Directive 81/851/EEC(3), as last amended by Directive 93/40/EEC(4), to take account of the provisions of this Regulation;
(10) Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,
Annexes I, II and III to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 are hereby amended as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 60th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 549/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 May 2013 on the European system of national and regional accounts in the European Union (1), and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) It follows from Article 3(2) of Regulation (EU) No 549/2013 that Member States should transmit to the Commission the data and metadata required by the Regulation in accordance with a specified interchange standard and other practical arrangements which should be specified by the Commission.
(2) Applying a single standard for the exchange and transmission of data for the statistics covered by Regulation (EU) No 549/2013 would make a considerable contribution to business process integration in this statistical area.
(3) The Statistical Data and Metadata Exchange (SDMX) initiative on statistical and technical standards for the exchange and sharing of data and metadata was launched by the Bank of International Settlements, the European Central Bank, the Commission (Eurostat), the International Monetary Fund, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the United Nations and the World Bank. For the exchange of official statistics, SDMX provides statistical and technical standards, including the SDMX Markup Language, using XML syntax (‘SDMX-ML format’). A new data format and data structure definition designed in accordance with this standard should therefore be introduced. In order to facilitate the transition to the new format, the Commission should, for the first two years after the entry into force of the Regulation, provide Member States with templates, which can be used as inputs to SDMX conversion tools.
(4) The Commission should make available detailed documentation in relation to the SDMX data structure definitions and supply guidelines on their implementation.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the European Statistical System Committee,
Standard for the transmission of data
Member States shall provide data required by the Regulation (EU) No 549/2013 using SDMX data structure definitions.
Technical specifications of data format

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organisation of the market in the sugar sector(1), and in particular Articles 2(3), 3(4) and 4(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(2),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(3),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(4),
Whereas:
(1) When sugar prices are fixed, account should be taken of the objectives of the common agriculture policy; the objectives of the common agricultural policy are in particular to ensure a fair standard of living for the agricultural community, to assure the availability of supplies and ensure that they reach consumers at reasonable prices;
(2) In order to attain these objectives, the target price for sugar must be fixed at a level which, taking into account in particular the resultant level of the intervention price, ensures a fair remuneration for beet and sugar cane producers while at the same time respecting consumers' interests, and which is likely to maintain a balance between the prices of the principal agricultural products;
(3) As a result of the characteristics of the sugar market, the risks involved in this trade are relatively slight; consequently, when the intervention price for sugar is being fixed, the difference between the target price and the intervention price may be fixed at a relatively low level;
(4) The basic price for beet must take account of the intervention price, revenue to undertakings as a result of the sale of molasses, which can be valued at EUR 7,61 per 100 kilograms, that amount being derived from the molasses price referred to in Article 14(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81, the latter being valued at EUR 8,21 per 100 kilograms, and of the costs of processing and delivering the beet to factories and be based on an estimated Community yield of 130 kilograms of white sugar per tonne of beet with a 16 % sugar content,
1. The target price for white sugar shall be EUR 66,50 per 100 kilograms.
2. The intervention price for white sugar shall be EUR 63,19 per 100 kilograms for the non-deficit areas of the Community.
The basic price applicable in the Community for beet shall be EUR 47,67 per tonne delivered at the collection centre.
Standard quality beet shall:
(a) be of sound, genuine and merchantable quality;
(b) have a sugar content of 16 % at the reception point.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall be applicable for the 1999/2000 marketing year.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 42 and 43 thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (1);
Whereas Article 23 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 (2) of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2745/72 (3), lays down criteria for fixing reference prices ; whereas, as regards oranges, mandarins and clementines, the annual financial compensation provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2511/69 (4) of 9 December 1969 laying down special measures for improving the production and marketing of Community citrus fruit, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2481/75 (5), makes it possible to maintain a more exact relationship between the price of Community products and that of imported products ; whereas, under such conditions, the aim of the price may be reached by limiting, where necessary, the variation in the reference prices at a percentage not exceeding the difference between the percentage used for the variation in basic and buying-in prices and that used for the variation in financial compensation;
Whereas Article 23 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 provides that transport costs for oranges, mandarins, satsumas, clementines, tangerines and other similar citrus hybrids are not to be taken into account when calculating the reference price, because of the special measures taken to guarantee the disposal of certain of these products produced in the Community ; whereas, since similar measures were taken in respect of lemons for a part of the 1975/76 marketing year, transport costs for that period should not be taken into account when calculating the reference price for that product;
Whereas Article 25 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 lays down the conditions under which a countervailing charge may be introduced to obviate disturbances on the Community market caused by offers from third countries at abnormal prices ; whereas experience has shown that alternation of entry prices above and below the reference price causes disturbances which cannot be remedied by applying Article 25 ; whereas, therefore, appropriate measures should be taken,
Article 23 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 shall be replaced by the following:
"2. Reference prices shall be fixed: - on the basis of the arithmetic mean of producer prices in each Member State plus, except in the case of oranges, mandarins, satusmas, clementines, tangerines and other similar citrus hybrids and also, for the period from 1 October 1975 to 31 May 1976, lemons the amount fixed in paragraph 4,
- taking into account the average trend in the basic and buying-in prices.
However, beginning with the 1975/76 marketing year, reference prices for oranges, mandarins, satsumas, clementines, tangerines and other similar citrus hybrids shall be fixed at a level equal to that of the previous marketing year, adjusted as necessary by a percentage not exceeding the difference between the percentages representing respectively the variation in basic and buying-in prices and in the financial compensation provided for by Regulation (EEC) No 2511/69, compared with the preceding marketing year." (1)Opinion delivered on 26 September 1975 (not yet published in the Official Journal). (2)OJ No L 118, 20.5.1972, p. 1. (3)OJ No L 291, 28.12.1972, p. 147. (4)OJ No L 318, 18.12.1969, p. 1. (5)See page 1 of this Official Journal.
The following Article shall be added to Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72:
"Article 25a 1. When it is noted that during a period of five to seven successive market days entry prices for a given product from a given exporting country are alternatively above and below the reference price, even when during two consecutive market days the entry prices are above or below the reference price without this having led to Article 25 being applied, a countervailing charge shall, notwithstanding the provisions of this Article and on the conditions set out below, be introduced in respect of the exporting country concerned, save in exceptional circumstances.
The charge shall be introduced when:
- three entry prices fall below the reference price, and
- on condition that one of these entry prices is at least 0.5 unit of account below the reference price.
This charge shall be equal to the difference between the reference price and the last available entry price at least 0.5 unit of account below the reference price.
2. Article 25 (2) shall not apply to the charges introduced in implementation of paragraph 1 of this Article.
3. The countervailing charge introduced in implementation of paragraph 1 of this Article, which shall be the same amount for all Member States, shall be levied in addition to customs duties in force."
Article 26 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 shall be replaced by the following:
"Article 26 1. The charge introduced in implementation of Article 25 shall not be altered so long as: - the variation of the factors in its calculation does not lead, after it is put into effect for three consecutive market days, to an alteration of its amount by more than 1.0 unit of account,
- regrouping of exporting countries does not become necessary.
A decision to withdraw the charge for a given exporting country shall be taken when the entry price has been at least equal to the reference price for two consecutive market days. This decision shall also be taken if there are no prices in respect of that country for six consecutive working days - except where Article 24 (4) applies - or if application of the first indent of the first paragraph leads to the charge being fixed at zero.
2. The charge introduced in implementation of Article 25a shall be applied for six days.
It may not be withdrawn before the end of that period unless:
- the application of Article 25 (1) and, should the occasion arise, Article 24 (4) lead to the fixing of a new higher countervailing charge, or
- the entry price for three consecutive market days after the charge is put into effect, is at least equal to the reference price."
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 October 1975.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 |

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 7 September 1981, the Federal Republic of Germany requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'Perkin-Elmer - atomic absorption spectrophotometer, model 4000', to be used for trace analysis methods and for the determination of toxic elements through atomic absorption, should be considered to be a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 4 February 1982 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a spectrophotometer;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the answer of the entire spectral field of the analysis and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, however, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of scientific value equivalent to the said apparatus, capable of being used for the same purposes, are currently being manufactured in the Community; whereas this applies, in particular, to the apparatus 'SPg' and 'SP 2900' manufactured by Pye Unicam Ltd, York Street, UK-Cambridge,
The apparatus described as 'Perkin-Elmer - atomic absorption spectrophotometer, model 4000', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 7 September 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds(1), and in particular Article 15(5) thereof,
After consulting the Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions and the Committee pursuant to Article 147 of the Treaty,
Whereas:
(1) Articles 13 et seq. of Title II of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 lay down the procedure for preparing and implementing single programming documents.
(2) Article 15(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides that, after consultation with the partners referred to in Article 8 of the Regulation, the Member State may submit to the Commission a development plan which is treated as a draft single programming document, and which contains the information referred to in Article 16 of the Regulation.
(3) Under Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, on the basis of the regional development plan submitted by the Member State and within the partnership established in accordance with Article 8 of that Regulation, the Commission is to take a decision on the single programming document, in agreement with the Member State concerned and in accordance with the procedures laid down in Articles 48 to 51.
(4) The German Government submitted to the Commission on 23 June 2000 an acceptable draft single programming document for the parts of the Land of Berlin fulfilling the conditions for Objective 2 pursuant to Article 4(1) and those qualifying for transitional support under Objective 2 pursuant to Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. The draft contains the information listed in Article 16 of the Regulation, and in particular a description of the priorities selected and an indication of the financial contribution from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the European Social Fund (ESF).
(5) The date of submission of the draft which was considered acceptable by the Commission constitutes the date from which expenditure under the plan is eligible. Under the first subparagraph of Article 30(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, as an acceptable plan was submitted on 23 June 2000, the date from which expenditure under the plan is eligible is 23 June 2000. Under the second subparagraph of Article 30 of the Regulation, it is necessary to lay down the final date for the eligibility of expenditure.
(6) The single programming document has been drawn up in agreement with the Member State concerned and within the partnership.
(7) The Commission has satisfied itself that the single programming document is in accordance with the principle of additionality.
(8) Under Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Commission and the Member State are required to ensure, in a manner consistent with the principle of partnership, coordination between assistance from the Funds and from the EIB and other existing financial instruments.
(9) The financial contribution from the Community available over the entire period and its year-by-year breakdown are expressed in euro. The annual breakdown should be consistent with the relevant financial perspective. Under Article 7(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Community contribution has already been indexed at a rate of 2 % per year. Under Article 7(7) and Article 44(2) of the Regulation, the Community contribution may be reviewed at mid-term, and not later than 31 March 2004, to take account of the effective level of inflation and the allocation of the performance reserve.
(10) Provision should be made for adapting the financial allocations of the priorities of this single programming document within certain limits to actual requirements reflected by the pattern of implementation on the ground, in agreement with the Member State concerned,
The single programming document for Community structural assistance in the parts of Berlin eligible under Objective 2 and in those qualifying for transitional support under Article 2 pursuant to Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 for the period 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2006 is hereby approved. European Regional Development Fund resources shall be available to regions qualifying for transitional support from 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2005.
1. In accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the single programming document includes the following elements:
(a) the strategy and priorities for the joint action of the Structural Funds and the Member State; their specific quantified targets; the ex ante evaluation of the expected impact, including on the environmental situation, and the consistency of the priorities with the economic, social and regional policies and the employment strategy of Germany;
the priorities are as follows:
1. making businesses, especially small and medium-sized ones, more competitive;
2. infrastructure measures;
3. protection and improvement of the environment;
4. technical assistance;
(b) a summary description of the measures planned to implement the priorities, including the information needed to check compliance with the State aid rules under Article 87 of the Treaty;
(c) the indicative financing plan specifying for each priority and each year the financial allocation envisaged for the contribution from each Fund and indicating separately the funding planned for the regions receiving transitional support in respect of Objective 2 and the total amounts of eligible public or equivalent expenditure and estimated private funding in the Member State. The total contribution from the Funds planned for each year for the single programming document is consistent with the relevant financial perspective;
(d) the provisions for implementing the single programming document including designation of the managing authority, a description of the arrangements for managing the single programming document and the use to be made of global grants, a description of the systems for monitoring and evaluation, including the role of the Monitoring Committee and the arrangements for the participation of the partners in that Committee;
(e) the ex ante verification of compliance with additionality and information on the transparency of financial flows;
(f) information on the resources required for preparing, monitoring and evaluating the assistance.
2. The indicative financing plan puts the total cost of the priorities selected for the joint action by the Community and the Member State at EUR 1179189000 for the whole period and the financial contribution from the Structural Funds at EUR 384449000.
The resulting requirement for national resources of EUR 384727000 from the public sector and EUR 410013000 from the private sector can be partly met by Community loans from the European Investment Bank and other lending instruments.
1. The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds for the various priorities included in the single programming document, is set out in the financing plan annexed to this Decision.
2. The indicative initial estimated breakdown among the Structural Funds of the total Community assistance available is as follows:
- ERDF: EUR 244125000
- ESF: EUR 140324000
3. During implementation of the financing plan, the total cost or Community financing of a given priority may be adjusted in agreement with the Member State by up to 25 % of the total Community contribution to the single programming document throughout the programme period, up to a maximum of EUR 30 million, without altering the total Community contribution referred to in paragraph 1.
This Decision is without prejudice to the Commission's position on aid schemes falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty that are included in this assistance and which it has not yet approved. Submission of the application for assistance, the programme complement or a request for payment by the Member State does not replace the notification required by Article 88(3) of the Treaty.
Community financing of State aid falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, requires prior approval by the Commission under Article 88(3) of the Treaty, except where the aid falls under the de minimis rule or is exempted under an exemption regulation adopted by the Commission under Council Regulation (EC) No 994/98 of 7 May 1998 on the application of Articles 92 and 93 (now 87 and 88) of the Treaty establishing the European Community to certain categories of horizontal State aid(2). In the absence of such exemption or approval, aid is illegal and subject to the consequences set out in the procedural regulation for State aid, and its part-financing would be treated as an irregularity within the meaning of Articles 38 and 39 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.
Consequently, the Commission will not accept requests for interim and final payments under Article 32 of the Regulation for measures being part-financed with new or altered aid, as defined in the procedural regulation for State aid, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, until such aid has been notified to and formally approved by the Commission.
The date from which expenditure shall be eligible is 23 June 2000. The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure shall be 31 December 2008. This date is extended to 30 April 2009 for expenditure incurred by bodies granting assistance under Article 9(i) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure in the regions receiving transitional support shall be 31 December 2007.

of 17 March 2015
amending Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 as regards the substance ‘barium selenate’
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 laying down Community procedures for the establishment of residue limits of pharmacologically active substances in foodstuffs of animal origin, repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 and amending Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 of the European Parliament and the Council (1), and in particular Article 14 in conjunction with Article 17 thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Medicines Agency formulated by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use,
Whereas:
(1) The maximum residue limit (‘MRL’) for pharmacologically active substances intended for use in the Union in veterinary medicinal products for food-producing animals or in biocidal products used in animal husbandry is to be established in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 470/2009.
(2) Pharmacologically active substances and their classification regarding MRLs in foodstuffs of animal origin are set out in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 (2).
(3) Barium selenate is currently included in Table 1 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 as an allowed substance for bovine and ovine species with ‘no MRL required’ status.
(4) In accordance with Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009, an application for a review of the opinion on barium selenate has been submitted to the European Medicines Agency.
(5) The Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use (‘CVMP’) confirmed its initial recommendation that there is no need to establish an MRL for barium selenate for bovine and ovine species. However, the CVMP concluded that because of the fact that the depletion of the substance and its residue selenium from an injection site is extremely slow, there is a risk that consumption of an injection site would lead to an intake of selenium greater than the established safe level. Therefore, to ensure that consumers' exposure to selenium is not above the established tolerable upper intake level, the CVMP recommended that barium selenate used in veterinary medicinal products should not be administered by injection.
(6) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 the European Medicines Agency is to consider using MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in a particular foodstuff for another foodstuff derived from the same species, or MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in one or more species for other species. The CVMP recommended the extrapolation of the existing ‘no MRL required’ status for barium selenate in relation to bovine and ovine species to all food producing species.
(7) The entry for barium selenate in Table 1 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) It is appropriate to provide for a reasonable period of time for the stakeholders concerned to take measures that may be required to comply with this Regulation.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,
The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 is amended as set out in 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.
It shall apply from 17 May 2015.
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 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 July 2000 establishing a system for the identification and registration of bovine animals and regarding the labelling of beef and beef products and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 820/97 (1), and in particular Article 4(2) thereof,
Having regard to the request submitted by the Netherlands,
Whereas:
(1) The Netherlands have requested an extension to 12 months of the maximum period laid down for the application of eartags to bovine animals in nature reserves, due to practical difficulties.
(2) Those animals are primarily kept for the purpose of nature protection and landscape conservation and not for production purposes. They are kept under extensive holding conditions and in free range where calves stay always close to their mother.
(3) It is justified to take account of the Dutch request, provided that the extension of the maximum period for tagging does not affect the quality of information provided by the Dutch database for bovine animals and that there is no movement of bovine animals to which eartags have not been applied.
(4) In the case of animals, which have not been tagged until the age of 6 months, the identity of the mother should be verified by a DNA test. Taking this additional guarantee into account the maximum period for tagging should not be longer than 12 months.
(5) This derogation should be strictly restricted to a limited number of holdings, which have been separately authorised according to defined criteria as nature reserves and communicated to the Commission.
(6) The Dutch authorities undertake not to extend this derogation to the identification and registration system of bovine animals.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund,
The Netherlands may extend to 12 months the maximum period laid down by Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000, for the application of eartags to calves kept in certain nature reserves provided all the conditions set out in this Decision are met.
This extension shall not affect the quality of information provided by the computerised bovine database.
1. The extension provided in Article 1 shall be allowed subject to all the conditions set out in paragraph 2 to 5.
2. The animals shall be born in a nature reserve authorised by the competent authority in accordance with Article 3.
3. The birth of each calf shall be reported to the competent authority within a period to be fixed by the Netherlands in accordance with Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000.
4. The eartags shall be applied before the calves are 12 months old.
5. In any case no animals shall leave the nature reserve without prior application of the eartags.
6. For calves tagged later than 6 months of age the identity of the mother shall be verified on the basis of a DNA-test when the eartags are applied.
1. The competent authority may authorise nature reserves for the purpose of this Decision if they fulfil the following conditions:
(a) the nature reserve is a holding where animals are primarily kept for the purpose of nature protection and landscape conservation;
(b) the nature reserve covers a territory of at least 100 ha;
(c) the effective livestock density is below 0,5 animals over 12 months of age per hectare, on an annual average basis;
(d) the animals are reared at liberty in a totally extensive system, with the calves staying with their mother.
2. The status of a holding as an authorised nature reserve with an extended period for tagging shall be clearly stated in the records of the computerised bovine database.
3. The competent authority shall communicate to the Commission the list of nature reserves which have been authorised according to paragraph 1.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of the Netherlands. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 608/82 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 21 October 1982, the United Kingdom has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'Aminco - Hem-o-scan Oxygen Equilibrium Curve Analyzer, model J4-9675 A', ordered on 7 May 1982 and intended to be used in vitro research on the effects of oxygen deprivation and other forms of adverse metabolic stress on the deformability of human red cells, 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 1 March 1983, within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements, to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is an analyzer;
Whereas it does not have 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 'Aminco - Hem-o-scan Oxygen Equilibrium Curve Analyzer, model J4-9675 A', which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 21 October 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community(1), as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1972/2002(2) (the basic Regulation) and in particular Article 13(3), Article 14(3) and Article 14(5) thereof,
After having consulted the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. REQUEST
(1) The Commission has received a request pursuant to Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, "the basic Regulation", to investigate the possible circumvention of the anti-dumping measures imposed on imports of steel ropes and cables originating in the People's Republic of China.
(2) The request was lodged on 5 January 2004 by EWRIS, liaison committee of EU wire rope industries, on behalf of 19 Community producers.
B. PRODUCT
(3) The product concerned by possible circumvention is steel ropes and cables originating in the People's Republic of China, normally declared under CN codes ex 7312 10 82, ex 7312 10 84, ex 7312 10 86, ex 7312 10 88 and ex 7312 10 99 (the product concerned). These codes are given for information only.
(4) The product under investigation is steel ropes and cables consigned from Morocco (the product under investigation) normally declared under the same codes as the product concerned.
C. EXISTING MEASURES
(5) The measures currently in force and possibly being circumvented are anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1796/1999(3) as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1674/2003(4).
D. GROUNDS
(6) The request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the anti-dumping measures in force on imports of steel ropes and cables originating in the People's Republic of China are being circumvented by means of the transhipment via Morocco of steel ropes and cables.
(7) The evidence submitted is as follows:
A significant change in the pattern of trade involving exports from the People's Republic of China and Morocco to the Community has taken place following the imposition of measures on the product concerned, and there is insufficient due cause or justification other than the imposition of the duty for such a change.
This change in the pattern of trade appears to stem from the transhipment of steel ropes and cables originating in the People's Republic of China via Morocco.
Furthermore, the request contains sufficient evidence that the remedial effects of the existing anti-dumping measures on the product concerned are being undermined both in terms of quantity and price. Significant volumes of imports of steel ropes and cables from Morocco appear to have replaced imports from the People's Republic of China of the product concerned. In addition, there is sufficient evidence that this increase in imports is made at prices well below the non-injurious price established in the investigation that led to the existing measures.
Finally, the request contains sufficient evidence that the prices of steel ropes and cables are dumped in relation to the normal value previously established for the product concerned.
E. PROCEDURE
(8) In the light of the above, the Commission has concluded that sufficient evidence exists to justify the initiation of an investigation pursuant to Article 13 of the basic Regulation and to make imports of steel ropes and cables consigned from Morocco, whether declared as originating in Morocco or not, subject to registration, in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation.
(a) Questionnaires
(9) In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send questionnaires to the exporters/producers and to the associations of exporters/producers in Morocco, the exporters/producers and to the associations of exporters/producers in the People's Republic of China, to the importers and to the associations of importers in the Community which cooperated in the investigation that led to the existing measures or which are listed in the request and to the authorities of the People's Republic of China and Morocco. Information, as appropriate, may also be sought from the Community industry.
(10) In any event, all interested parties should contact the Commission forthwith, but not later than the time limit set in Article 3 of this Regulation in order to find out whether they are listed in the request and, if necessary, to request a questionnaire within the time limit set in Article 3(1) of this Regulation, given that the time limit set in Article 3(2) of this Regulation applies to all interested parties.
(11) The authorities of the People's Republic of China and Morocco will be notified of the initiation of the investigation and provided with a copy of the request.
(b) Collection of information and holding of hearings
(12) All interested parties are hereby invited to make their views known in writing and to provide supporting evidence. Furthermore, the Commission may hear interested parties, provided that they make a request in writing and show that there are particular reasons why they should be heard.
(c) Exemption of registration of imports or measures
(13) In accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product under investigation may be exempted from registration or measures if the importation does not constitute circumvention.
(14) The possible circumvention takes place outside the Community. Article 13 of the basic Regulation is aiming at countering circumvention practices without affecting operators which can prove that they are not involved in such practices, but it does not contain a specific provision providing for the treatment of producers in the countries concerned which could establish that they are not involved in circumvention practices. Therefore, it appears necessary to introduce a possibility for producers concerned to request an exemption from the registration of imports of their exported products or from measures on these imports.
(15) Producers wishing to obtain an exemption should apply for it and submit any requested questionnaire reply within the appropriate time limits, in order for it to be established that they are not circumventing the anti-dumping duties within the meaning of Article 13(1) of the basic Regulation. Importers could still benefit from exemption from registration or measures to the extent that their imports are from producers which are granted such an exemption, and in accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation.
F. REGISTRATION
(16) Pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product under investigation should be made subject to registration in order to ensure that, should the investigation result in findings of circumvention, anti-dumping duties of an appropriate amount can be levied retroactively from the date of registration of steel ropes and cables consigned from Morocco.
G. TIME LIMITS
(17) In the interest of sound administration, time limits should be stated within which:
- interested parties may make themselves known to the Commission, present their views in writing and submit questionnaire replies or any other information to be taken into account during the investigation,
- interested parties may make a written request to be heard by the Commission.
(18) Attention is drawn to the fact that the exercise of most procedural rights set out in the basic Regulation depends on the party's making itself known within the time limits mentioned in Article 3 of this Regulation.
H. NON-COOPERATION
(19) In cases in which any interested party refuses access to or otherwise does not provide necessary information within the time limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, on the basis of the facts available.
(20) Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information shall be disregarded and use may be made, in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, of facts available. If an interested party does not cooperate, or cooperates only partially, and use of the best facts available is made, the result may be less favourable than if it had cooperated,
An investigation is hereby initiated pursuant to Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, in order to determine if imports into the Community of steel ropes and cables consigned from Morocco, whether originating in Morocco or not, and falling within CN codes ex 7312 10 82, ex 7312 10 84, ex 7312 10 86, ex 7312 10 88 and ex 7312 10 99 (TARIC codes 7312 10 82 12, 7312 10 84 12, 7312 10 86 12, 7312 10 88 12, 7312 10 99 12 ), are circumventing the measures imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1796/1999 on imports of steel ropes and cables originating in the People's Republic of China.
The Customs authorities are hereby directed, pursuant to Article 13(3) and Article 14(5) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, to take the appropriate steps to register the imports into the Community identified in Article 1 of this Regulation.
Registration shall expire nine months following the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
The Commission, by Regulation, may direct Customs authorities to cease registration in respect of imports into the Community of products manufactured by producers having applied for an exemption of registration and having been found not to be circumventing the anti-dumping duties.
1. Questionnaires should be requested from the Commission within 15 days from publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union.
2. Interested parties, if their representations are to be taken into account during the investigation, must make themselves known by contacting the Commission, present their views in writing and submit questionnaire replies or any other information within 40 days from the date of the publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified.
3. Interested parties may also apply to be heard by the Commission within the same 40-day time limit.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to Council Regulation No 123/67/EEC (1) of 13 June 1967 on the common organisation of the market in poultrymeat, and in particular Article 8 (4) thereof;
Whereas, where the free-at-frontier offer price for a product falls below the sluice-gate price, the levy on that product must be increased by an additional amount equal to the difference between the sluice-gate price and that offer price;
Whereas the levy is not, however, increased by this additional amount as regards third countries which are prepared and in a position to guarantee that the price for imports into the Community of products originating in and coming from their territory will not be lower than the sluice-gate price and that any deflection of trade will be avoided;
Whereas Commission Regulation No 163/67/EEC (2) of 26 June 1967 on fixing the additional amount for imports of poultry-farming products from third countries, as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2224/70, (3) laid down certain conditions and the procedure for applying Article 8 (2) of Regulation No 123/67/EEC;
Whereas, by letter dated 1 December 1970, the Government of the Polish People's Republic stated that it was prepared to give such guarantee for exports to the Community of slaughtered turkeys ; whereas it will ensure that such exports are made only by the State foreign trade agency Animex ; whereas it will ensure also that deliveries of the above-mentioned products are not made at free-at-Community-frontier prices lower than the sluice-gate price valid on the day of customs clearance ; whereas, to that end, it will see to it in particular that the State foreign trade agency Animex does not take any action which might indirectly bring about prices lower than the sluice-gate prices, such as taking over marketing or transport costs, granting rebates, resorting to linked transactions or any other action having similar effect;
Whereas the Government of the Polish People's Republic has, furthermore, stated that it is prepared to communicate regularly to the Commission, through the State foreign trade agency Animex, details of exports of slaughtered turkeys to the Community and to enable the Commission to exercise continuous supervision of the effectiveness of the measures it has taken;
Whereas questions affecting observance of the guarantee given have been discussed in detail with representatives of the Polish People's Republic ; whereas, following these discussions, it may be assumed that the Polish People's Republic is in a position to abide by its guarantee ; whereas, consequently, there is no need to levy an additional amount on imports of the above-mentioned products originating in and coming from the Polish People's Republic;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Management Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs;
The levies fixed in accordance with Article 4 of Regulation No 123/67/EEC shall not be increased by (1)OJ No 117, 19.6.1967, p. 2301/67. (2)OJ No 129, 28.6.1967, p. 2577/67. (3)OJ No L 241, 4.11.1970, p. 5.

Having regard to the request made by the French Republic;
Whereas the variety of dwarf french beans "Sim" has been accepted in one Member State in accordance with principles which comply with those of the abovementioned Directive and also of the Commission Directive of 14 April 1972 (3) on determining the characteristics and minimum conditions for inspecting vegetable varieties ; whereas, consequently, it is published in the Common Catalogue of varieties of vegetable species (4)', and therefore, in accordance with the provisions of Article 16 (1) of the aforesaid Directive, the seed of this variety is not subject within the Community to any marketing restrictions relating to variety;
Whereas the variety "Sim" has been subjected, in France, to official examination which also complied with the principles of the Commission Directive of 14 April 1972;
Whereas according to the results of these examinations and in comparison with national rules governing the acceptance of varieties in France, and applicable within the framework of the definitions prescribed under Article 5 of the Directive quoted in the citation, the variety is not sufficiently uniform ; whereas, in particular, the degree of homogeneity of the leaf colour, of the length, transversal cut and fibres of the pod, and also of maturity (characteristics listed under Nos 3, 5.1, 5.2, 5.4 and 7 of point 29 "French beans" of Annex I to the abovementioned Directive on determining the characteristics) does not comply with French requirements;
Whereas the Community has not yet laid down comprehensive and uniform rules governing the admission of french bean varieties ; whereas, nevertheless, crop examinations of the variety "Sim" should be carried out, under Community responsibility, in order to arrive at a uniform conclusion regarding its homogeneity;
Whereas it is appropriate therefore to accede provisionally to the request of the French Republic, while awaiting the outcome of the results of these crop examinations;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the Opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
The French Republic is authorized, pending a further Decision, to prohibit the marketing, in its territory, of dwarf french bean seed of the variety "Sim" published in the Common Catalogue of varieties of vegetable species.
The French Republic shall inform the Commission from which date and according to what methods it will avail of the authorization given in Article 1. The Commission shall inform the other Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia, and in particular paragraph 4 of Chapter 4 of Annex IV thereto,
Whereas:
(1) Paragraph 2 of Chapter 4 of Annex IV to the 2003 Act of Accession provides that any stock of agricultural product private as well as public, in free circulation at the date of accession within the territory of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia (hereinafter referred to as ‘the new Member States’), and exceeding the quantity which could be regarded as constituting a normal carry-over of stock should be eliminated at the expense of the new Member States. The concept of normal carry-over should be defined for each product on the basis of the criteria and objectives specific to each market organisation.
(2) Both the criteria and objectives particular to each market organisation and the relationship between prices in the new Member States before accession and Community prices mean that normal carryover stock should be assessed in the light of factors varying from sector to sector.
(3) The basis for calculating levels of surplus stocks should be the variation in domestic production plus imports less exports in the twelve months immediately preceding accession, namely 1 May 2003 to 30 April 2004, compared to the average of variation in domestic production plus imports less exports for the three previous twelve-month periods.
(4) The Commission invited the new Member States comments on the general methodology of the calculation and to present any arguments on specific situations which would justify higher than normal stocks. The Commission then proceeded as a first step to assess the comments on the general methodology and finalise the methodology based on an overall analysis of the situation to produce a horizontal approach to be applied to all new Member States. As a second step, an evaluation of the specific arguments put forward by the new Member States has been carried out. On the basis of the result of this evaluation, the results of the horizontal exercise have been adjusted.
(5) The results of the calculation should be adjusted to take into consideration that some categories of products, such as butter and butter-oil, different qualities of rice, hops, seeds, wine alcohol, tobacco, and cereals are effectively interchangeable and could be considered as a group, so that an increase in stock levels of certain products in a group may be offset by a reduction in stock levels of other products in the group.
(6) New Member States have suggested that production and trade could have been subject to a developing trend during the period of calculation, in particular where the economic development of their economies was affected by the prospect of accession to the European Union. Neglecting such a trend could lead to an overestimation of surplus stock levels. The calculation has thus been adjusted by the introduction of a mechanism to take into account this trend for both production and trade. (Application of this mechanism should also deal with any similar trends in internal consumption).
(7) The calculation should be based on official monthly Eurostat data transmitted by the Member States, where this is available. In cases where such data are not available or are incomplete a best estimate method should be applied using other available sources of information, established in close contact with the new Member States.
(8) The other sources of information which have been used are yearly Eurostat data, data from the new Member States' balance sheets for the products concerned, and data sent officially to the Commission by the new Member States which is certified by the national statistical authority.
(9) Certain country-specific situations have been taken into account at the request of new Member States in particular certain specific circumstances in which stocks were built up.
(10) A threshold should be introduced in order to cover situations where the resulting amounts of surplus stocks are relatively small compared to what could be regarded as a normal carry-over stock. This covers the margin of error of the statistical information gathered in the particular circumstances of the pre-accession period and the complexity and scope of this exercise. No charge should hence be payable by a new Member State on the amount of surplus stock of a particular product, as calculated, if this amount is no more than 10 % of what could be regarded as a normal carry-over stock for that product in the new Member State concerned.
(11) The most appropriate method for calculating the financial consequences of the surplus stocks, in the light of the objective of paragraph 2 of Chapter 4 of Annex IV to the 2003 Act of Accession should consist in an evaluation of the cost of their disposal in each sector concerned. In cases where export refunds existed for products in the year after accession, it is appropriate to establish the financial consequences on the basis of the difference between the internal and external price level, as reflected by the average export refund during the twelve-month period immediately after accession.
(12) For products not subject to export refunds in cases such as preserved mushrooms, garlic, fruit juices for which significant levels of surplus stocks have been established in certain new Member States, for an equivalent approach, it is appropriate to take as a basis the price differences between the average internal and external prices. In view of the temporary nature of the financial consequences arising from the establishment of surplus stocks for different agricultural products in certain new Member States, the corresponding amounts should be paid by the Member States concerned into the Community budget. It is necessary to fix the date on which these payments should be made.
(13) In view of the potentially important financial consequences that a Member State may face, it is justified to extend over four years the period for the payment of these amounts by the Member States concerned.
(14) Whereas the relevant management committees have not delivered opinions within the time limits set down by their chairmen,
The quantities of agricultural products in free circulation in the new Member States at the date of accession exceeding the quantities which could be regarded as constituting a normal carryover of stock at 1 May 2004, and the amounts to be charged to the new Member States in consequence of the expense of elimination of those quantities are set out in the Annex.
1. The amounts set out in the Annex shall be considered as revenue for the Community budget.
2. The Member States may pay these amounts set out in the Annex to the Community budget in four equal instalments. The first instalment shall be paid by the last day of the second month following the month in which this Decision is notified to the new Member State concerned. Subsequent instalments shall be paid by 31 May 2008, 31 May 2009 and 31 May 2010 respectively.
This Decision is addressed to the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia. | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 |

of 31 July 1984
providing for the grant of private storage aid fixed at a standard rate in advance in respect of carcases, half-carcases, hindquarters and forequarters of beef
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Articles 6 (5) (b) and 8 (2) thereof,
Whereas, in view of the serious difficulties on the market in beef owing to the extraordinary slaughterings of adult bovine animals, private storage aid should be granted in respect of such animals;
Whereas the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1091/80 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2826/82 (3), should be followed in respect of the grant of private storage aid for beef;
Whereas provisions should be made to ensure that the animals involved be slaughtered exclusively in slaughterhouses which are approved and supervised in accordance with the provisions of Council Directive 64/433/EEC (4), as last amended by Directive 83/90/EEC (5);
Whereas Article 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 989/68 (6), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 428/77 (7), provides that, if the market situation so requires, the period of storage may be curtailed or extended; whereas it is therefore appropriate that, in addition to the amounts of aid granted for a specific storage period, amounts to be added or reduced in the event of that period being extended or curtailed should also be fixed;
Whereas, in order to prevent the financing of normal private storage, it appears desirable to fix high minimum quantities;
Whereas, foresseeable market conditions make it necessary to provide for storage periods between 9 and 12 months; whereas, in order to improve the efficiency of the scheme, provisions should be laid down enabling the applicants to benefit from an advance payment of the aid subject to a security;
Whereas, in view of the exceptional circumstances in the beef market and in order to encourage operators to make use of private storage it should be provided that, for a limited period, products under a private storage contract should be able at the same time to be placed under the system laid down in Article 5 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 565/80 of 4 March 1980 on the advance payment of export refunds in respect of agricultural products (8); whereas, in view of the contractual storage periods it is necessary to derogate from Article 11 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 798/80 of 31 March 1980 laying down general rules on the advance payment of export refunds and positive monetary compensatory amounts in respect of agricultural products (9), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1663/81 (10), as to the period during which the products may stay under the system laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 565/80;
Whereas provision should be made for the possibility of reducing the storage period where meat removed from storage is intended for export; whereas proof that the meat has been exported must be supplied as in the case of refunds, in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2730/79 (11), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 519/83 (12);
Whereas, in order for the Commission to closely monitor the effect of the private storage scheme, a Member State shall communicate the necessary information;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
1. Applications may be submitted between 20 August 1984 and 23 November 1984 for aid for the private storage of one of the cuts of adult bovine animals defined in Article 2 (2).
The amounts of this aid, by tonne of product, bone in, are fixed in the Annex hereto for each of these cuts, pursuant to Article 6 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1091/80.
If the quantities in respect of which contracts have been applied for or the market situation make it advisable, the deadline for the submission of applications may be changed.
2. The amount of aid shall be adjusted if the period of storage is extended or reduced. The supplements per month and deductions per diem for each of the cuts referred to in Article 2 (2) are fixed in the Annex hereto.
3. Subject to the provisions of this Regulation, the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 1091/80 shall apply.
1. Only meat produced in accordance with the provisions of Article 3 (1A) (a) to (e) of Council Directive 64/433/EEC shall be eligible for private storage aid.
2. For the purposes of this Regulation:
- the carcase shall have a minimum average weight of 220 kilograms,

(b) the front part of the half-carcase and in a manner known as 'straight' with a minimum of eight ribs and a maximum of 10 ribs and with a minimum average weight of 55 kilograms.
1. The minimum quantity per contract shall be 20 tonnes expressed as bone-in meat.
2. The contract may only cover unboned meat of one of the cuts referred to in Article 2 (2).
3. Placing in storage must be carried out within 28 days of the date of conclusion of the contract.
1. Subject to the provisions laid down in paragraph 2, the contractor may, before placing into store, cut or bone all or part of the products referred to in Article 2 (2), provided that only the quantity for which the contract has been concluded is employed and that all the meat resulting from such operations is placed in store.
2. If the quantity stored unboned, or, if cut or boned, the quantity of unboned meat employed, is less than the quantity for which the contract was concluded and:
(a) not less than 90 % of that quantity, the amount of aid referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 1 (1) shall be reduced proportionally;
(b) less than 90 % of that quantity, private storage aid shall not be paid.

(b) if the quantity placed in store exceeds 69 kilograms but is lower than 77 kilograms of boned meat per 100 kilograms of unboned meat employed, the aid referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 1 (1) shall be reduced proportionally. 4. No aid shall be granted:
(a) for quantities placed in store unboned, or in case of cutting or boning, for quantities of unboned meat employed, in excess of the quantities for which the contract was concluded; and
(b) in case of boning, for quantities in excess of 77 kilograms of boned meat per 100 kilograms of unboned meat employed.

fixing the export refunds on products processed from cereals and rice
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in rice (2), and in particular Article 14(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provide that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of those Regulations and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provides that when refunds are being fixed account must be taken of the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of cereals, rice and broken rice on the Community market on the one hand and prices for cereals, rice, broken rice and cereal products on the world market on the other. The same Articles provide that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the markets in cereals and rice and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports, and the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market.
(3) Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 (3) on the import and export system for products processed from cereals and from rice defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the refund on these products is being calculated.
(4) The refund to be granted in respect of certain processed products should be graduated on the basis of the ash, crude fibre, tegument, protein, fat and starch content of the individual product concerned, this content being a particularly good indicator of the quantity of basic product actually incorporated in the processed product.
(5) There is no need at present to fix an export refund for manioc, other tropical roots and tubers or flours obtained therefrom, given the economic aspect of potential exports and in particular the nature and origin of these products. For certain products processed from cereals, the insignificance of Community participation in world trade makes it unnecessary to fix an export refund at the present time.
(6) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.
(7) The refund must be fixed once a month. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(8) Certain processed maize products may undergo a heat treatment following which a refund might be granted that does not correspond to the quality of the product; whereas it should therefore be specified that on these products, containing pregelatinised starch, no export refund is to be granted.
(9) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 15 June 2007.

"A Regulation adopted pursuant to Article 1 may lay down that the prohibition referred to in Article 85 (1) of the Treaty shall not apply, for the period fixed in the same Regulation, to agreements and concerted practices which existed at the date of accession and which, by virtue of accession, come within the scope of Article 85 and do not fulfil the conditions set out in Article 85 (3)."
2. Paragraph 2 shall be supplemented by the following:
"Paragraph 1 shall be applicable to those agreements and concerted practices which, by virtue of the accession, come within the scope of Article 85 (1) of the Treaty and for which notification before 1 July 1973 is mandatory, in accordance with Articles 5 and 25 of Regulation No 17, only if notification was given before that date."

of 21 December 1982
on an interim common measure for restructuring the inshore fishing industry and aquaculture
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 9 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 101/76 of 19 January 1976 laying down a common structural policy for the fishing industry (3) provides that common measures may be decided upon for the attainment of the objectives mentioned in paragraph 1 of that Article in so far as they relate to the objectives set out in Article 39 (1) (a) of the Treaty; whereas these common measures may be financed by the Guidance Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, hereinafter referred to as 'the Fund', under Article 1 (3) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3509/80 (5);
Whereas action to restructure inshore fishing is necessary in order to promote the rational use of the available resources and the best use of production factors and to ensure an equitable standard of living for those who depend on fishing for their livelihood; whereas, for this purpose, the Commission proposed to the Council a common measure to restructure, modernize and develop the fishing industry and develop aquaculture (6); whereas this proposal has not yet been approved by the Council;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1852/78 of 25 July 1978 on an interim common measure for restructuring the inshore fishing industry (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2992/81 (8), has ensured the financing by the Fund, until 31 December 1981, of investment projects designed to develop inshore fishing or aquaculture; whereas this measure was intended, first and foremost, to help regions experiencing particular difficulties in developing production structures in the sectors in question;
Whereas, pending a decision on the structural measures to be implemented as a whole as part of a common fisheries policy, such a measure should be continued under the year 1982;
Whereas a contribution from the Fund in the form of a capital subsidy not exceeding 25 % of the total investment represents an appropriate participation in the realization thereof;
Whereas some regions of the Community find themselves at a disadvantage from the point of view of income and under-employment both in the fishing industry and elsewhere; whereas structural development measures in these regions should be strengthened;
Whereas time limits should be laid down for submission of aid applications to the Commission;
Whereas aid applications submitted for the first time under Regulation (EEC) No 1852/78 and not aided from the Fund for lack of available appropriations should be entertained under this Regulation;
Whereas, in order to ensure that beneficiaries observe the conditions laid down when aid is granted from the Fund, an effective control procedure should be provided for together with the possibility of suspending, reducing or discontinuing aid from the Fund,

32001D0792 | 2001/792/EC,Euratom: Council Decision of 23 October 2001 establishing a Community mechanism to facilitate reinforced cooperation in civil protection assistance interventions
| Council Decision
of 23 October 2001
establishing a Community mechanism to facilitate reinforced cooperation in civil protection assistance interventions
(2001/792/EC, Euratom)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 308 thereof, and to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular Article 203 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(3),
Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions(4),
Whereas:
(1) While action by the Community to implement the resolution of the Council and of the representatives of the Governments of the Member States, meeting within the Council, of 8 July 1991 on improving mutual aid between Member States in the event of natural or technological disaster(5) has helped protect people, the environment and property, the need is now to ensure even better protection in the event of natural, technological, radiological and environmental emergencies, including accidental marine pollution, occurring both inside and outside the European Union, and to strengthen the provisions of the resolution.
(2) The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE) Convention on the Transboundary Effects of Industrial Accidents, which contains provisions on matters such as prevention, emergency preparedness, public information and participation, industrial accident notification systems, response and mutual assistance, entered into force on 19 April 2000. The Convention was approved by the Community by Council Decision 98/685/EC(6).
(3) A mechanism to facilitate reinforced cooperation in civil protection assistance interventions could supplement the current Community action programme in the field of civil protection(7) by making support available in the event of major emergencies which may require urgent response action. It would facilitate the mobilisation of intervention teams, experts and other resources, as required, through a reinforced Community civil protection structure consisting of a monitoring and information centre and a common emergency communication and information system. It would also provide an opportunity for collecting validated emergency information, for disseminating that information to the Member States and for sharing lessons learnt from interventions.
(4) Such a mechanism would take due account of the relevant Community legislation and international commitments. This Decision should therefore not affect the reciprocal rights and obligations of the Member States under bilateral or multilateral treaties, which relate to the matters covered by this Decision.
(5) Prevention is of significant importance for the protection against natural, technological and environmental disasters and would require further action to be considered.
(6) In the event of a major emergency within the Community, or imminent threat thereof, which causes, or is capable of causing, transboundary effects or which may result in a call for assistance from one or more Member States, there is a need for relevant notification to be made as appropriate through an established reliable common emergency communication and information system.
(7) Preparatory measures need to be taken at Member State and Community level to enable assistance intervention teams in emergencies to be mobilised rapidly and coordinated with the requisite flexibility and to ensure, through a training programme, the effective response capability and complementarity of assessment and/or coordination teams, intervention teams and other resources, as appropriate. Other preparatory measures would include pooling of information related to necessary medical resources and stimulation of the use of new technologies.
(8) In accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, a Community mechanism would provide added value in supporting and supplementing national policies in the field of mutual civil protection assistance. If the preparedness of the requesting Member State is not sufficient for an adequate response to a major emergency in terms of available resources, that State would be able to supplement its preparedness by making an appeal to such a Community mechanism.
(9) A mechanism should make it possible to mobilise, and facilitate coordination of, assistance interventions in order to help ensure better protection primarily of people but also of the environment and property, including cultural heritage, thereby reducing loss of human life, injury, material damage, economic and environmental damage, and making achievement of the objectives of social cohesion and solidarity more tangible.
(10) The isolated and outermost regions and some other areas of the Community often have special characteristics and needs owing to their geography, terrain and social and economic circumstances. These have an adverse effect, hamper the deployment of assistance and intervention resources making it difficult to deliver aid and means of assistance, and create particular needs for assistance in the event of serious danger of major emergency. Such a Community mechanism would also allow better response to be made to these situations and needs.
(11) With respect to civil protection assistance intervention outside the Community, a mechanism could be made use of as a tool for facilitating and supporting actions undertaken, within their respective competences, by the Community and the Member States.
(12) Such a Community mechanism could, under conditions to be determined, also be a tool for facilitating and supporting crisis management referred to in Title V of the Treaty on European Union.
(13) Assistance interventions would either be conducted autonomously or as a contribution to an operation led by an international organisation, for which case the Community should develop its relations with the relevant global and regional international organisations.
(14) Participation in such a mechanism would be open to the candidate countries.
(15) There is a need to improve transparency and to consolidate and strengthen the various existing civil protection actions in continued pursuit of the objectives of the Treaty.
(16) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Decision should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission(8).
(17) The use of the same Committee for the present mechanism as for the existing Community action programme in the field of civil protection should ensure consistency and complementarity for the implementation of the mechanism.
(18) The Treaty establishing the European Community and the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community do not provide powers for adopting this Decision other than those of Articles 308 and 203, respectively,
1. A Community mechanism to facilitate reinforced cooperation between the Community and the Member States in civil protection assistance intervention in the event of major emergencies, or the imminent threat thereof, which may require urgent response action is hereby established (hereinafter "the mechanism").
2. The mechanism is intended to help ensure better protection, primarily of people but also of the environment and property, including cultural heritage, in the event of major emergencies, i.e. natural, technological, radiological or environmental accidents occurring inside or outside the Community, including accidental marine pollution, as provided for in Decision No 2850/2000/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2000 setting up a Community framework for cooperation in the field of accidental or deliberate marine pollution(9).
The mechanism does not affect obligations under existing relevant legislation of the European Community or the European Atomic Energy Community or existing international agreements.
The general purpose of the mechanism is to provide, on request, support in the event of such emergencies and to facilitate improved coordination of assistance intervention provided by the Member States and the Community, taking into account the special needs of the isolated, outermost and other regions or islands of the Community.
3. The mechanism consists of a series of elements and actions including:
- the identification of intervention teams and other intervention support available in Member States for assistance intervention in the event of emergencies,
- the setting-up and implementation of a training programme for intervention teams and other intervention support, and for experts for the assessment and/or coordination teams,
- workshops, seminars and pilot projects on major aspects of interventions,
- the establishment and, as needed, dispatch of assessment and/or coordination teams,
- the establishment and management of a monitoring and information centre,
- the establishment and management of a common emergency communication and information system,
- other support action, such as measures to facilitate transport of resources for assistance intervention.
1. In the event of a major emergency within the Community, or imminent threat thereof, which causes or is capable of causing transboundary effects or which may result in a call for assistance from one or more Member States, the Member State in which the emergency has occurred shall, without delay, notify:
(a) those Member States which may be affected by the emergency, unless this obligation of notification has already been addressed under relevant legislation of the European Community or the European Atomic Energy Community or existing international agreements, and
(b) the Commission, when a possible request for assistance through the monitoring and information centre can be anticipated, in order that the Commission may, as appropriate, inform the other Member States and activate its competent services.
2. Such notification shall, as appropriate, be made through the communication and information system.
To ensure their capability for effective intervention response in the event of a major emergency, Member States shall:
(a) within their competent services and, in particular, their civil protection services or other emergency services, identify in advance intervention teams which might be available for such intervention or could be established for intervening at very short notice, in order to be dispatched, generally within 12 hours following a request for assistance, taking into account that team composition should depend on the type of major emergency and on particular needs in that emergency;
(b) select experts who can be called on to serve on the site of an emergency in an assessment and/or coordination team;
(c) provide relevant general information on these teams and experts as well as on medical resources as laid down in Article 4(e) within six months of the adoption of this Decision, and promptly update this information when necessary;
(d) consider the possibility of also providing, as required, other intervention support which might be available from the competent services, such as specialised personnel and equipment to deal with a particular emergency, and of calling upon resources which may be provided by non-governmental organisations and other relevant entities;
(e) for the purposes of applying this Decision, appoint the competent authorities, designate the contact points and inform the Commission accordingly.
With a view to achieving the objectives and implementing the actions defined in Article 1, the Commission shall:
(a) establish and manage a monitoring and information centre accessible and able to react immediately 24 hours a day and serving the Member States and the Commission for the purposes of the mechanism;
(b) establish and manage a reliable common emergency communication and information system to enable communication and sharing of information between the monitoring and information centre and the contact points designated for that purpose by the Member States;
(c) establish the capability to mobilise and dispatch, as quickly as possible, small teams of experts responsible for:
- assessing the situation for the benefit of the Member States, the monitoring and information centre and the State requesting assistance,
- facilitating, when necessary, coordination of assistance operations on site and liaising, when necessary and appropriate, with the competent authorities of the State requesting assistance;
(d) set up a training programme, with a view to improving the coordination of civil protection assistance intervention by ensuring compatibility and complementarity between the intervention teams as laid down in Article 3(a) or as appropriate other intervention support as laid down in Article 3(b), and by improving the competence of experts for assessment. The programme should include joint courses and exercises and an exchange system whereby individuals may be seconded to teams in other Member States;
(e) pool information on the capabilities of the Member States for maintaining a production of serums and vaccines or other necessary medical resources and on the stocks which might be available for intervention in the event of a major emergency and compile this information in the information system;
(f) set up a programme of lessons learned from the interventions conducted within the framework of the mechanism and disseminate these lessons through the information system;
(g) stimulate and encourage the introduction and use for the purpose of the mechanism of new technologies, including systems for notification and alert, exchange of information, use of satellite technology and assistance to decision-making in the management of emergencies;
(h) take measures to facilitate transport of resources for assistance intervention and other support action.
1. Where an emergency occurs within the Community, a Member State may request assistance, which request should be as specific as possible:
(a) from the other Member States through the monitoring and information centre, in which case, upon receiving such a request the Commission shall, as appropriate and without delay:
- forward the request to the other Member States' contact points,
- facilitate the mobilisation of teams, experts and other intervention support,
- collect validated information on the emergency and disseminate it to the Member States, or
(b) directly from the other Member States.
2. Any Member State to which a request for assistance is addressed shall promptly determine whether it is in a position to render the assistance required, and inform the requesting Member State thereof, either through the monitoring and information centre or directly and then, depending on the circumstances, also the centre, indicating the scope and terms of any assistance it might render.
3. The requesting Member State shall be responsible for directing assistance interventions. The authorities of the requesting Member State shall lay down guidelines and, if necessary, define the limits of the tasks entrusted to the intervention teams, without giving details of their execution, which are to be left to the person in charge appointed by the Member State rendering assistance.
4. The requesting Member State may ask the teams to direct the intervention on its behalf in which case the teams provided by the Member States and the Community shall endeavour to coordinate their interventions.
5. The assessment and/or coordination team should facilitate coordination between intervention teams and, as necessary and appropriate, liaise with the competent authorities of the requesting Member State.
The provisions of Article 5 may also, upon request, be implemented in respect of interventions outside the Community. Such interventions may either be conducted as an autonomous assistance intervention or as a contribution to an intervention led by an international organisation.
The coordination of civil protection assistance interventions conducted within the framework of this mechanism outside the Community is ensured by the Member State entrusted with the Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
Participation in the mechanism shall be open to:
- the candidate countries of central and eastern Europe in accordance with the conditions established in the Europe Agreements, in their additional protocols, and in the decisions of the respective Association Councils,
- Cyprus, Malta and Turkey on the basis of bilateral agreements to be concluded with these countries.
1. The Commission shall implement the actions related to the mechanism in accordance with the procedures laid down in Article 9(2).
2. The Commission shall also in accordance with the procedures laid down in Article 9(3) establish common rules particularly on the following matters:
(a) resources available for assistance intervention, as laid down in Article 3;
(b) the monitoring and information centre, as laid down in Article 4(a);

(f) information on medical resources, as laid down in Article 4(e);
(g) the interventions inside the Community, on the basis of the resolution of 8 July 1991, as well as the interventions outside the Community as laid down in Article 6.
1. The Commission shall be assisted by the committee set up by Article 4(1) of Decision 1999/847/EC.
2. Where reference is made to this paragraph, Articles 4 and 7 of Decision 1999/468/EC shall apply.
The period laid down in Article 4(3) of Decision 1999/468/EC shall be set at three months.

31992R1910 | Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1910/92 of 10 July 1992 on a special intervention measure for durum wheat in Greece
| COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1910/92 of 10 July 1992 on a special intervention measure for durum wheat in Greece
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1738/92 (2), and in particular Article 8 (3) thereof,
Whereas production of durum wheat in Greece exceeds that country's requirements;
Whereas the possibility of that surplus being absorbed by the Community market is very slight;
Whereas the Greek market can be relieved by the export of part of this surplus quantity of durum wheat to non-member countries; whereas, in view of world market prices for durum wheat, export is possible only with the aid of a refund;
Whereas, however, the refund arrangements laid down in Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 apply to export from any Member State; whereas such arrangements, therefore, are not only unsuitable for solving the problem in question but may also favour the export of durum wheat from Member States where the market situation is completely different from that in Greece;
Whereas, in the absence of adequate measures, massive quantities of durum wheat may be expected to enter intervention storage in Greece, in accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75, the only possibility of disposal being in any case export to non-member countries; whereas, to avoid the abovementioned intervention, a special intervention measure intended to relieve the Greek market should be taken under Article 8 of the said Regulation; whereas, furthermore, such a measure should take the form of a direct export incentive, which would avoid the high cost to the Community budget of buying in and storing products which would in any case then have to be exported; whereas the granting of a refund, the amount of which would be determined by tendering and which would apply only to products produced in and exported from Greece, would be an appropriate measure for this purpose;
Whereas the purpose of the measure is such that refunds should be granted only on wheat of the quality required for acceptance for intevention in Greece, as defined in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 689/92 (3); whereas the competent agency must make certain that wheat exported is of this standard;
Whereas the nature and objectives of the said measures make it appropriate to apply in respect of it mutatis mutandis Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 and the Regulations adopted for the application thereof, in particular Council Regulation (EEC) No 2746/75 of 29 October 1975 laying down general rules for granting export refunds on cereals and criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (4) and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 279/75 of 4 February 1975 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of tendering for export refunds on cereals (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2788/86 (6);
Whereas, under the abovementioned Regulation (EEC) No 279/75, the commitments on the part of the tenderer include the obligation to lodge an application for an export licence; whereas compliance with this obligation may be ensured by requiring tenderers to lodge a tendering security of ECU 12 per tonne when they submit their tenders;
Whereas, in order to ensure equal treatment of all concerned, it is necessary to make provision for the licences issued to have an identical period of validity;
Whereas, in order to ensure the smooth operation of the export tendering procedure, it is appropriate to prescribe a minimum quantity to be tendered for and a time limit and form for the communication of tenders submitted to the competent authorities;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
1. A special intervention measure in the form of an export refund shall be applied in respect of 300 000 tonnes of durum wheat produced in and exported from Greece.
6
of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 and the provisions adopted for the application of that Article shall apply mutatis mutandis to the said refund.
2. The Greek intervention agency shall be responsible for implementing the measure referred to in paragraph 1.
1. Tenders shall be invited in order to determine the amount of the refund referred to in Article 1.
2. The invitation to tender shall relate to the quantity of durum wheat referred to in Article 1 (1) for export to the countries in zones I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII and VIII listed in Annex I to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1124/77 (7).
3. The invitation shall remain open until 16 December 1992. During the period of its validity weekly awards shall be made, for which the time limits for the submission of tenders shall be as prescribed in the notice of invitation to tender.
4. Tenders must be submitted to the Greek intervention agency named in the notice of invitation.
5. The tendering procedure shall take place in accordance with this Regulation and Regulation (EEC) No 279/75.
A tender shall be valid only if:
- it relates to not less than 1 000 tonnes,
- it is accompanied by:
- advance fixing of the Greek monetary compensatory amount valid on each closing date for the submission of tenders,
- the undertaking provided for in Article 2 (3) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 279/75 that the export licence will be applied for in Greece.
The security referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 279/75 shall be ECU 12 per tonne.
1. Notwithstanding Article 21 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 (8), export licences issued in accordance with Article 8 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 279/75 shall, for the purpose of determining their period of validity, be deemed to have been issued on the day on which the tender was submitted.
2. Export licences issued in connection with the invitation to tender pursuant to this Regulation shall be valid from their date of issue, as defined in paragraph 1, until the end of the fourth month following that of issue.
1. The Commission shall decide, under the procedure laid down in Article 26 of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75, either:
- to fix a maximum export refund, taking account in particular of the criteria laid down in Articles 2 and 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2746/75, or
- to make no award.
2. Where a maximum export refund is fixed, a contract shall be awarded to any tenderer whose tender indicates a rate of refund equal to or less than such maximum export refund.
3. A refund awarded shall not be paid unless the durum wheat exported is of at least intervention quality in Greece as defined in Regulation (EEC) No 689/92. The competent agency shall have an analysis made of the landed goods and shall hold at the Commission's disposal an additional sample from each consignment taken and sealed in the presence of the tenderer or his representative.
Sampling and analysis costs shall be met by the tenderer.
4. Where the quality does not correspond to that defined in paragraph 3, the refund shall be reduced by ECU 50 per tonne.
Tenders submitted must reach the Commission through the intermediary of the Greek intervention agency at the latest one and a half hours after expiry of the period for the weekly submission of tenders as specified in the notice of invitation to tender. They must be communicated in the form indicated in Annex I, to the telephone, telex or telefax numbers in Annex II.
If no tenders are received, the Greek intervention agency shall inform the Commission of this within the period indicated in the first paragraph.
The times fixed for the submission of tenders shall correspond to Belgian time.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 |

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), and in particular Article 47(8) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2734/2000 of 14 December 2000 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1627/89 on the buying-in of beef by invitation to tender and derogating from or amending Regulation (EC) No 562/2000 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 as regards the buying-in of beef(2), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 3/2001(3), introduces a number of amendments to or derogations from Commission Regulation (EC) No 562/2000(4) to address the exceptional situation on the market resulting from recent events relating to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE).
(2) In view of this exceptional market situation and to improve the effectiveness of the intervention measures provided for in Regulation (EC) No 2734/2000, Article 4(2)(g) of Regulation (EC) No 562/2000 should be derogated from as regards the maximum weight of carcases by not setting any weight limit for the two invitations to tender in February 2001 and by increasing the weight to 430 kg for the remaining invitations to tender in the first quarter of 2001, while still allowing the purchase of heavier animals but at a purchase price equal to the maximum authorised weight.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 2734/2000 should therefore be amended.
(4) Since products bought in can also be sold after 1 January 2002, when the system of compulsory labelling based on origin laid down by Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 July 2000 establishing a system for the identification and registration of bovine animals and regarding the labelling of beef and beef products and repealing Regulation (EC) No 820/97(5) will apply, the labels of products intended for intervention pursuant to contracts concluded on or after 12 February 2001 (i.e. with effect from the first invitation to tender in the month of February) should be required to include an indication of the country or countries of birth and fattening of the animals concerned, in accordance with Article 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000, together with the indications laid down in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1825/2000(6) laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000, as appropriate.
(5) Annex III of Regulation (EC) No 562/2000 sets out the provisions applying to carcases, half-carcases and quarters that can be bought in. With a view to falling into line with current commercial practice, the description of the half-carcase in that Annex should be amended by introducing some margin of tolerance in the description.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 562/2000 should be amended accordingly.
(7) In view of the way the situation is developing, this Regulation should enter into force immediately.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2734/2000 is replaced by the following:
"1. Notwithstanding Article 4(2)(g) of Regulation (EC) No 562/2000, the maximum carcase weight referred to in that Article shall be 430 kg. However:
- no maximum carcase limit shall apply to the two invitations to tender in February 2001,
- for the remaining invitations to tender in the first quarter of 2001, carcases of a weight greater than 430 kg may be bought in but the purchase price for them shall be that for this maximum weight."
Regulation (EC) No 562/2000 is amended as follows:
1. Article 4(3)(d) is replaced by the following:
"(d) labelled in accordance with the system introduced by European Parliament and Council Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000(7) and including, in the case of contracts concluded on or after 12 February 2001, the indications laid down in Article 13(5) of that Regulation."
2. Point 2(b) of Annex III is replaced by the following:
"(b) half-carcase: the product obtained by separating the carcase as referred to in (a) symmetrically through the middle of the cervical, dorsal, lumbar and sacral vertebrae and through the middle of the sternum and the ischiopubic symphysis. During carcase processing, the dorsal and lumbar vertebrae must not be seriously dislocated; associated muscles and tendons must not show any serious damage from saws or knives."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

2. Intervention purchasing shall be terminated if for a period of three weeks the market price established for each week has not been lower than the intervention price during the period.
Offers lodged before the decision to terminate intervention purchasing shall however remain valid.

Prices shall be corrected for standard quality.
2. If market prices recorded in more than one port are to be taken into account that to be used for the purposes of Article 1 shall be the arithmetical mean of the prices.
3. The Member States in which the ports indicated in Article 4 are located shall notify the Commission by Wednesday of each week at the latest of prices recorded in these ports since the previous Wednesday and of all factors entering into their formation.
4. The prices used shall be reduced by
- 3 ECU/tonne for the port of Southampton,

(5) A new Convention should be concluded with UNRWA so that the Community's aid can continue to be provided as part of a comprehensive programme offering a measure of continuity.
(6) The appropriate internal procedure should be established to ensure the proper functioning of the Convention. It is therefore necessary to delegate to the Commission the power to carry out modifications where the Convention provides for modifications to be adopted by simplified procedure (Exchange of Letters),

amending the Annexes to Council Directives 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642/EEC as regards the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues (bentazone and pyridate) in and on cereals, foodstuffs of animal origin and certain products of plant origin, including fruit and vegetables
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 86/362/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on cereals(1), as last amended by Commission Directive 2002/23/EC(2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 86/363/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on foodstuffs of animal origin(3), as last amended by Directive 2002/23/EC, and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/642/EEC of 27 November 1990 on fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on certain products of plant origin, including fruit and vegetables(4), as last amended by Directive 2002/23/EC, and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market(5), as last amended by Commission Directive 2002/37/EC(6), and in particular Article 4(1)(f) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The existing active substances bentazone and pyridate were included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by Commission Directives 2000/68/EC(7) and 2001/21/EC(8), for use as a herbicide on cereals, vegetables and forage.
(2) The inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of the active substances concerned was based on the assessment of the information submitted concerning the proposed uses. Information relating to these uses has been submitted by certain Member States in accordance with Article 4(1)(f) of Directive 91/414/EEC. The information available has been reviewed and is sufficient to allow certain maximum residue levels (MRLs) to be fixed.
(3) Where no Community MRL or provisional MRL exists, Member States are to establish a national provisional MRL in accordance with Article 4(1)(f) of Directive 91/414/EEC before plant protection products containing these active substances may be authorised.
(4) With respect to the inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of the active substances concerned, the related technical and scientific evaluations were finalised in the form of Commission review reports. The reports were finalised on 13 July 2000, in the case of bentazone and on 12 December 2000 in the case of pyridate. They fixed the acceptable daily intake (ADI) for bentazone at 0,1 mg/kg bw/day and for pyridate at 0,036 mg/kg bw/day. The lifetime exposure of consumers of food products treated with the active substances concerned has been assessed and evaluated in accordance with Community procedures. Account has also been taken of guidelines published by the World Health Organisation(9) and the opinion of the Scientific Committee for Plants(10) on the methodology employed. It is concluded that the MRLs proposed will not lead to those ADIs being exceeded.
(5) No acute toxic effects requiring the setting of an acute reference dose were noted during the evaluations and discussions preceding the inclusion of pyridate in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. The acute reference dose for bentazone was established at 0,25 mg/kg bw/day. According to the exposure assessment the MRLs proposed will not lead to an unacceptable acute exposure of consumers.
(6) In order to ensure that the consumer is adequately protected from exposure to residues in or on products, for which no authorisation has been granted, it is prudent to set provisional MRLs at the lower limit of analytical determination for all such products covered by Directives 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642/EEC.
(7) The setting at Community level of such provisional MRLs does not prevent the Member States from establishing provisional MRLs for bentazone and pyridate in accordance with Article 4(1)(f) of Directive 91/414/EEC and Annex VI thereto. It is considered that a period of four years is sufficient to permit most further uses of the active substances concerned. The provisional MRL should then become definitive.
(8) The Annexes to Directives 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9) The Commission notified this Directive in draft form to the World Trade Organisation and no comments have been received. The possibility of fixing import tolerance MRLs for specific pesticide/crop combinations will be examined by the Commission on the basis of the acceptable data submitted.
(10) This Directive is in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The following maximum pesticide residue levels are added to Part A of Annex II to Directive 86/362/EEC: ""
The following maximum pesticide residue levels are added to Part B of Annex II to Directive 86/363/EEC: ""
The maximum pesticide residue levels for bentazone and pyridate as shown in the Annex to this Directive are added to Annex II to Directive 90/642/EEC.
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 31 December 2002 at the latest. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
They shall apply these provisions with effect from 1 January 2003.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 727/2008
of 24 July 2008
terminating the new exporter review of Regulation (EC) No 130/2006 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of tartaric acid originating in the People’s Republic of China
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (the basic Regulation), and in particular Articles 11(4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
1. MEASURES IN FORCE
(1) By Regulation (EC) No 130/2006 (2), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of tartaric acid originating in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) (the original investigation). The measures in force consist of an ad valorem duty rate of 34,9 %, with the exception of several companies expressly mentioned which are subject to individual duty rates.
(2) By Regulation (EC) No 150/2008 (3), following an interim review pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation, the Council amended the scope of the measures.
2. CURRENT INVESTIGATION
2.1. Request for a review
(3) Subsequent to the imposition of the definitive anti-dumping measures, the Commission received a request for a ‘new exporter’ review pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation. The request was based on the claim that the exporting producer, Fuyang Genebest Chemical Industry Co Ltd. (the applicant):
— did not export tartaric acid before or during the investigation period of the original investigation,
— was not related to any of the exporting producers subject to the measures imposed by Regulation (EC) No 130/2006,
— had started to export tartaric acid to the Community after the end of the investigation period of the original investigation,
— operates under market economy conditions as defined in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation or alternatively claims individual treatment in conformity with Article 9(5) of the basic Regulation.
2.2. Initiation of a ‘new exporter’ review
(4) The Commission examined the prima facie evidence submitted by the applicant and considered it sufficient to justify the initiation of a review pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation. After consultation of the Advisory Committee and after the Community industry concerned had been given the opportunity to comment, the Commission initiated, by Regulation (EC) No 1406/2007 (4), a review of Regulation (EC) No 130/2006 with regard to the applicant.
(5) Pursuant to Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1406/2007, the anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 130/2006 on imports of tartaric acid produced by the applicant was repealed. Simultaneously, pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, customs authorities were directed to take appropriate steps to register the imports of tartaric acid produced by the applicant.
2.3. Product concerned
(6) The product concerned by the current review is tartaric acid, the same as in the original investigation, subject, however, to the limitation in scope introduced by Regulation (EC) No 150/2008.
2.4. Parties concerned
(7) The Commission officially advised the Community industry, the applicant and the representatives of the exporting country of the initiation of the review. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to be heard.
(8) The Commission sent a market economy treatment claim and a questionnaire to the applicant and received a reply within the deadlines set for this purpose.
(9) The Commission sought and verified all the information deemed necessary for its analysis and carried out a verification visit at the premises of the applicant.
2.5. Review investigation period
(10) The investigation of dumping covered the period from 1 April 2006 – 30 September 2007 (review investigation period or RIP).
3. RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION
3.1. Findings
(11) The questionnaire response indicated a number of export sales transactions which were identical to the information submitted in the application for the review and which were allegedly destined for the Community.
(12) The investigation showed that the applicant did not directly export the product concerned (defined in section 2.3 above) during the RIP. The export transactions were in fact made by an independent trader in the PRC, to which the applicant issued a domestic invoice. The applicant could only provide customs declaration forms which showed that the goods were exported from the PRC but which did not indicate the export destination. A further investigation was carried out at the premises of this trader in order to obtain and verify the necessary evidence of the alleged exports to the Community.
(13) The verification of the export documentation did not show that the goods had been released for free circulation in the Community. The goods were unloaded in two Community ports, but the invoices were addressed to a customer located in a third country outside the Community. The trader confirmed that the final destination of the goods was outside the Community, where the final customer was located.
(14) Eurostat import statistics of tartaric acid were also analysed. The analysis of the import statistics confirmed that the goods exported by the applicant were not released for free circulation within the Community.
3.2. Conclusion
(15) On the basis of the above findings, it was concluded that the applicant could not demonstrate that it met the criteria for being considered a new exporter within the meaning of Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation.
(16) The purpose of the present review was to determine the individual margin of dumping of the applicant, which was allegedly different from the current residual margin applicable to imports of the product concerned from the PRC. The request was mainly based on the allegation that the applicant had started to export tartaric acid to the Community after the end of the investigation period of the original investigation and that it had such exports to the Community during the RIP.
(17) The investigation concluded that, in the absence of exports to the Community during the RIP, the Commission could not establish that the applicant’s individual dumping margin was indeed different from the residual dumping margin established in the original investigation. Therefore, the request made by the applicant should be rejected and the new exporter review terminated. The residual anti-dumping duty found during the original investigation, i.e. 34,9 %, should consequently be maintained as far as the applicant is concerned.
4. RETROACTIVE LEVYING OF THE ANTI-DUMPING DUTY
(18) In the light of the above findings, the anti-dumping duty applicable to the applicant shall be levied retroactively on imports of the product concerned, which have been made subject to registration pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1406/2007.
5. FINAL PROVISIONS
(19) The applicant, the Community industry and the representatives of the exporting country were informed of the essential facts and considerations leading to the above conclusions and were given an opportunity to comment. No comments which were of a nature to change the above conclusions were received.
(20) This review does not affect the date on which the measures imposed by Regulation (EC) No 130/2006, as amended by Regulation (EC) No 150/2008, will expire pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation,
1. The new exporter review initiated by Regulation (EC) 1406/2007 is hereby terminated and the anti-dumping duty applicable, according to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 130/2006, as amended by Regulation (EC) No 150/2008, to ‘all other companies’ in the People’s Republic of China is hereby imposed on imports identified in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1406/2007.
2. The anti-dumping duty applicable, according to Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 130/2006, as amended by Regulation (EC) No 150/2008, to ‘all other companies’ in the People’s Republic of China is hereby levied with effect from 1 December 2007 on imports of tartaric acid which have been registered pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1406/2007.
3. The customs authorities are hereby directed to cease the registration carried out pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1406/2007.
4. Unless otherwise specified, the provisions in force concerning customs duties shall apply.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(2001/842/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine, ovine and caprine animals and swine, fresh meat or meat products from third countries(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1452/2001(2), and in particular Articles 15, 16(1), and 22 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The animal health conditions and veterinary certification for imports of fresh meat from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Paraguay and Uruguay are laid down by Commission Decision 93/402/EEC of 10 June 1993 concerning animal health conditions and veterinary certification for imports of fresh meat from South American countries(3), as last amended by Decision 2001/767/EC(4).
(2) Outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease were confirmed in the region of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil starting on 9 May 2001 and a program of vaccination of bovines against foot-and-mouth disease has been introduced.
(3) The Commission suspended the importation from the region of Rio Grande do Sul into the Community of all categories of fresh meat from those species susceptible to foot-and-mouth disease by Commission Decision 2001/410/EC(5) amending Decision 93/402/EEC with the effect of deleting the region in question from the list of Brazilian regions from which imports of such fresh meat are authorised.
(4) A Commission mission took place, from 22 to 26 October 2001, in order to examine the epidemiological situation regarding foot-and-mouth disease and the control measures in place.
(5) This examination showed that the competent veterinary authorities of Brazil have addressed the concerns identified during previous missions, and that the disease situation has now stabilised. It is therefore appropriate to lift the suspension of imports into the Community of de-boned fresh meat for human consumption, and of certain meat and offal for direct treatment for pet food, and to reintroduce to that effect the region of Rio Grande do Sul into the list of Annex I to Decision 93/402/EEC.
(6) Decision 2001/410/EC also provided for a clarification of the conditions applicable for Uruguay but this clarification is now consolidated by Decision 2001/767/EC and therefore Decision 2001/410/EC can be repealed in its entirety.
(7) Council Directive 93/119/EC(6) requires that the veterinary health certificate accompanying meat to be imported from third countries to the European Community must be supplemented by an attestation certifying that the animals have been slaughtered under conditions which offer guarantees of humane treatment at least equivalent to the relevant provisions of the Directive; it is opportune to introduce this certification requirement into the model health certificate itself at the time when other amendments to the model are required.
(8) It is also opportune to update the model veterinary certificates to require the container number and corresponding seal number to be included on the certificates and also to provide for an attestation on the protection of animals at the time of slaughter.
(9) Decision 93/402/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly and Decision 2001/410/EC should be repealed.
(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
Annexes I, II and III to Decision 93/402/EEC are replaced by the corresponding Annexes to this Decision.
Decision 2001/410/EC is hereby repealed.
This Decision shall apply from 1 December 2001 after being reviewed at the Standing Veterinary Committee scheduled for 20 to 21 November 2001.

Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1351/86 (2), and in particular the last subparagraph of Article 18 (1) thereof,
Whereas, under the last subparagraph of Article 18 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, producers' organizations may be authorized, in view of the characteristics of the market under consideration, to fix, under certain conditions, withdrawal prices above the levels referred to in Article 18 (1) (a) of that Regulation;
Whereas the market in tomatoes grown under glass has different characteristics from those of the market in open-grown tomatoes; whereas tomatoes grown under glass are mainly 'Extra' Class and Class I products, the prices for which are considerably higher than those for open-grown products;
Whereas, in order to provide more effective support for the market in tomatoes grown under glass, producers' organizations or associations of such organizations should be allowed to fix their withdrawal price at a level higher than the Community withdrawal price; whereas, in accordance with the last subparagraph of Article 18 (1), it appears that the maximum level of the withdrawal price for these products can justifiably be fixed by taking account of the trend in withdrawal prices for open grown tomatoes;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
For June 1987, producers' organizations or associations of such organizations may fix withdrawal prices, not exceeding the following maxima, in ECU per 100 kilograms net, for tomatoes grown under glass:
- June (11 to 20): 30,25
(21 to 30): 27,83
The producers' organizations shall supply the following information to the national authorities, who shall communicate it to the Commission:

Whereas:
(1) Article 12(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1019/2002(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1964/2002(4), stipulates that except for Articles 2, 3, 5 and 6, which are to apply from 1 November 2003, the Regulation is to apply from 1 November 2002, except in the case of products that were legally manufactured and labelled in the European Community or legally imported into the European Community and released for free circulation before 1 November 2003, which may be marketed until all stocks are used up.
(2) According to Article 5(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1019/2002, only the positive attributes listed in Annex XII to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2568/91 of 11 July 1991 on the characteristics of olive oil and olive-residue oil and on the relevant methods of analysis(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 796/2002(6), may be used. However, owing to the very small number of organoleptic attributes set out in the said Annex, operators are encountering difficulties in describing the organoleptic characteristics on the labels of their oil.
(3) As there is no objective method at present of verifying certain organoleptic characteristics that greatly enhance virgin olive oils as regards flavour, aroma and colour, such attributes cannot appear on the labels. Moreover, the positive organoleptic attributes listed in Annex XII to Regulation (EEC) No 2568/91 cannot cover the full range of olive varieties or tastes of virgin olive oils.
(4) In view of the fact that research into new organoleptic evaluation methods aimed at widening the range of positive attributes of virgin olive oils is still under way, and in order to give the bodies in charge of developing new more comprehensive methods sufficient time to establish such methods, the date on which Article 5(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1019/2002 is to apply should be postponed by one year.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 1019/2002 should be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1019/2002 is replaced by the following:
"2. It shall apply from 1 November 2002.

1 shall apply from 1 July 2002.
However, products which have been legally manufactured and labelled in the Community or legally imported into the Community and put into free circulation before 1 November 2003 may be marketed until all stocks are used up."

Definitions
For the purposes of this Regulation, the terms ‘institution’, ‘reserve requirement’, ‘maintenance period’, ‘reserve base’, and ‘participating Member State’ have the same meaning as in Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9).
Transitional provisions for institutions located in Cyprus or Malta
1. In derogation from Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9), a transitional maintenance period shall run from 1 January 2008 to 15 January 2008 for institutions located in Cyprus or Malta.
2. The reserve base of each institution located in Cyprus or Malta for the transitional maintenance period shall be defined in relation to elements of its balance sheet as at 31 October 2007. Institutions located in Cyprus or Malta shall report their reserve base to the Central Bank of Cyprus or the Central Bank of Malta respectively in accordance with the ECB’s reporting framework for monetary and financial statistics, as laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 (ECB/2001/13). Institutions located in Cyprus or Malta that benefit from the derogation under Article 2(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 (ECB/2001/13) shall calculate a reserve base for the transitional maintenance period on the basis of their balance sheet as at 30 September 2007.
3. In respect of the transitional maintenance period, either an institution located in Cyprus or Malta or its respective national central bank shall calculate such institution’s minimum reserves. The party that calculates the minimum reserves shall submit its calculation to the other party allowing sufficient time for the latter to verify it and submit revisions. The calculated minimum reserves, including any revisions thereof, if applicable, shall be confirmed by the two parties at the latest on 11 December 2007. If the notified party does not confirm the amount of minimum reserves by 11 December 2007, it shall be deemed to have acknowledged that the calculated amount applies for the transitional maintenance period.
4. Article 3(2) to (4) shall apply mutatis mutandis to institutions located in Cyprus so that these institutions may, for their initial maintenance periods, deduct from their reserve bases any liabilities owed to institutions in Cyprus or Malta, although at the time the minimum reserves are calculated such institutions will not appear on the list of institutions subject to reserve requirements in Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9).
(2) to (4) shall apply mutatis mutandis to institutions located in Malta so that these institutions may, for their initial maintenance periods, deduct from their reserve bases any liabilities owed to institutions in Cyprus or Malta, although at the time the minimum reserves are calculated such institutions will not appear on the list of institutions subject to reserve requirements in Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9).
Transitional provisions for institutions located in other participating Member States
1. The maintenance period applicable to institutions located in other participating Member States pursuant to Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9) shall remain unaffected by the existence of a transitional maintenance period for institutions located in Cyprus or Malta.
2. Institutions located in other participating Member States may decide to deduct from their reserve base for the maintenance periods from 12 December 2007 to 15 January 2008 and from 16 January to 12 February 2008 any liabilities owed to institutions located in Cyprus or Malta, even though at the time the minimum reserves are calculated such institutions will not appear on the list of institutions subject to reserve requirements in Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9).
3. Institutions located in other participating Member States that wish to deduct liabilities owed to institutions located in Cyprus or Malta shall, for the maintenance periods from 12 December 2007 to 15 January 2008 and from 16 January to 12 February 2008, calculate their minimum reserves on the basis of their balance sheet at 31 October and 30 November 2007 respectively and report a table in accordance with footnote 5 of Table 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 (ECB/2001/13) showing institutions located in Cyprus or Malta as already subject to the ECB’s minimum reserve system.
This shall be without prejudice to the obligation for institutions to report statistical information for the periods concerned in accordance with Table 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 (ECB/2001/13), still showing institutions located in Cyprus or Malta as being banks located in the ‘Rest of the world’.
The tables shall be reported in accordance with the time limits and procedures laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 (ECB/2001/13).
4. For the maintenance periods starting in December 2007, January and February 2008, institutions located in other participating Member States that benefit from the derogation under Article 2(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 (ECB/2001/13) and wish to deduct liabilities owed to institutions located in Cyprus or Malta, shall calculate their minimum reserves on the basis of their balance sheet as at 30 September 2007 and report a table in accordance with footnote 5 of Table 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 (ECB/2001/13) showing institutions located in Cyprus or Malta as already subject to the ECB’s minimum reserve system.

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.
(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of a preparation of Enterococcus faecium NBIMCC 8270, Lactobacillus acidophilus NBIMCC 8242, Lactobacillus helveticus NBIMCC 8269, Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. lactis NBIMCC 8250, Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus NBIMCC 8244, and Streptococcus thermophilus NBIMCC 8253. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) That application concerns the authorisation of a preparation of Enterococcus faecium NBIMCC 8270, Lactobacillus acidophilus NBIMCC 8242, Lactobacillus helveticus NBIMCC 8269, Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. lactis NBIMCC 8250, Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus NBIMCC 8244, and Streptococcus thermophilus NBIMCC 8253 as a feed additive for suckling piglets, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.
(4) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 12 March 2013 (2) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of Enterococcus faecium NBIMCC 8270, Lactobacillus acidophilus NBIMCC 8242, Lactobacillus helveticus NBIMCC 8269, Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. lactis NBIMCC 8250, Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus NBIMCC 8244, and Streptococcus thermophilus NBIMCC 8253 does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment. The Authority recognised that it has the potential to increase the body weight in suckling piglets. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5) The assessment of that preparation shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.

Whereas exceptional measures to support the market in pigmeat were adopted for the Netherlands by Commission Regulation (EC) No 413/97 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 771/97 (4), in response to the outbreak of classical swine fever in certain production regions in that country;
Whereas, owing to the persistence of classical swine fever in the Netherlands, the exceptional measures to support the market should be extended to cover very young piglets in order to reduce expenditure in the coming months and bring down the weight of animals delivered to the competent authorities;
Whereas the delivery of very young piglets means that the aid granted on young piglets and piglets can be stopped in a few weeks while that granted on pigs for fattening can be ended in a few months; whereas the competent Dutch authorities should be authorized to administer this programme and fix the dates and the areas concerned;

Whereas the exceptional measures should be extended to include the protection and surveillance zones around Soerendonk and Baarle-Nassau by replacing Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 413/97;
Whereas the swift and effective application of exceptional market support measures is one of the best ways of combating the spread of classical swine fever; whereas the application of this Regulation from 6 May 1997 is accordingly justified;

Whereas, for the purposes of applying Council Regulation (EC) No 1292/96 of 27 June 1996 on food-aid policy and food-aid management and special operations in support of food security (3), new general rules for the mobilisation of products to be supplied as Community food aid have been laid down by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2519/97 (4);
Whereas the aforementioned new rules imply the application of export refunds in the case of mobilisation in the Community; whereas, however, by way of derogation from Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3665/87 of 27 November 1987 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural products (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2114/97 (6), special rules should be laid down as regards certain aspects; whereas, in particular in order to ensure that the conditions of competition that applied in respect of the supply operation at the time of submission of tenders are not changed subsequent to the award of contracts as the result of the application of certain techniques for adjusting the export refunds according to the date of export, provision should be made to waive certain provisions applicable to trade in agricultural products and to grant an export refund that is fixed and published prior to the deadline for submission of tenders and that remains unaltered irrespective of the actual date of export;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1068/93 of 30 April 1993 on detailed rules for determining and applying the agricultural conversion rates (7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1482/96 (8), establishes the operative events for the agricultural conversion rates, in particular that applicable to the refunds;
Whereas, in order to ensure that the abovementioned rules are applied correctly, administrative provisions relating to export licences should be laid down by way of derogation from Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 of 16 November 1988 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (9), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1404/97 (10); whereas, for this purpose, the delivery guarantee lodged by the successful tenderer for the food aid operation to ensure he meets his obligations as regards the supply in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 2519/97 should be considered sufficient to also ensure compliance with the obligations resulting from the licences;
Whereas the supply operations carried out pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 2519/97 are considered as food aid within the meaning of Article 10(4) of the Agreement on Agriculture in the framework of the Uruguay Round; whereas these operations should be closely monitored by the Commission;
Whereas export refunds for Community food aid shall only be paid for quantities exported in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 3665/87 and taken over in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 2519/97;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2330/87 (11), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2226/89 (12), lays down detailed rules for the export of products supplied as Community food aid; whereas in order to make the necessary changes and for reasons of clarity and administrative efficiency Regulation (EEC) No 2330/87 should be replaced;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the relevant management committees,
Without prejudice to exceptional provisions adopted by the Commission for special operations, this Regulation shall apply to exports of products covered by the regulations on the common organisation of the markets listed in Article 1 of Regulations (EEC) No 3719/88 and (EEC) No 3665/87 where they are supplied as Community food aid pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1292/96 and mobilised in the Community in accordance with the general rules of Regulation (EC) No 2519/97.
1. By way of derogation from Article 3(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3665/87, the export refund to be paid shall be that applicable on the date specified in the tender notice issued by the Commission and laying down the special conditions under which the food-aid operation is to be carried out, hereinafter referred to as 'tender notice`.
2. In the case of supply ex works or free carrier and free at port of shipment, the time limit within which the products have to leave the customs territory of the Community, laid down in Articles 4(1) and 32(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3665/87, shall not apply.
3. By way of derogation from the provisions laying down a readjustment of amounts fixed in advance, the refund referred to in paragraph 1 shall not be subject to any adjustment or correction.
4. The refund shall be converted into national currency by applying the agricultural conversion rate on the day of acceptance of the export declaration. The conversion rate valid on the day of application for the licence may be fixed in advance in accordance with the provisions of Articles 13 to 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 1068/93.
1. By way of derogation from Article 2a(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3665/87, the payment of the refund shall be conditional upon the presentation of an export licence, comprising advance fixing of the refund referred to in Article 2(1), applied for to carry out the food-aid operation concerned.
The licence shall be valid only in respect of the export to be carried out in this context.
By way of derogation from Article 36 of Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88, the period of validity of the licence may be extended by the competent authority at the written and justified request of the successful tenderer (hereinafter referred to as 'the supplier`).
2. Applications for licences shall be accompanied by proof that the applicant is the supplier of the Community food aid. Such proof shall be provided by a copy of the communication sent to him by the Commission informing him that he is the supplier of the food aid in question and, if required by the issuing agency, a copy of the tender notice.
Licences shall only be issued if proof is provided that the delivery guarantee referred to in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 2519/97 has been lodged. The lodging of that guarantee shall be deemed to constitute the lodging of the licence security. By way of derogation from Title III Section 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88, it shall be released under the conditions laid down in Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 2519/97.
3. In the document used for the application for refund as referred to in Article 3(5) of Regulation (EEC) No 3665/87 and, in addition to the requirements of Article 14a of Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88, in section 20 of the application for licences and the export licence itself, one of the following entries shall be included:

of 13 December 2011
amending Regulation (EC) No 1889/2006 on establishing a financing instrument for the promotion of democracy and human rights worldwide
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 209(1) and Article 212 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure, in the light of the joint text approved by the Conciliation Committee on 31 October 2011 (1),
Whereas:
(1) A new framework for planning and delivering assistance was established in 2006 in order to make the Community’s external assistance more effective and transparent. It contains Council Regulation (EC) No 1085/2006 of 17 July 2006 establishing an Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA) (2), Regulation (EC) No 1638/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 2006 laying down general provisions establishing a European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (3), Council Regulation (EC) No 1934/2006 of 21 December 2006 establishing a financing instrument for cooperation with industrialised and other high-income countries and territories (4), Regulation (EC) No 1717/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 November 2006 establishing an Instrument for Stability (5), Council Regulation (Euratom) No 300/2007 of 19 February 2007 establishing an Instrument for Nuclear Safety Cooperation (6), Regulation (EC) No 1889/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council (7), and Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation (8).
(2) In implementing those Regulations inconsistencies have emerged regarding exceptions to the principle of non-eligibility for Union financing of costs related to taxes, duties and other charges. It is therefore proposed to amend the relevant provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1889/2006 in order to align it with the other instruments.
(3) This Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve the objective pursued, in accordance with Article 5(4) of the Treaty on European Union.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 1889/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Article 13(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1889/2006 is replaced by the following:
‘6. Union assistance shall not in principle be used for paying taxes, duties or charges in beneficiary countries.’.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(notified under document number C(2009) 4072)
(2009/504/EC, Euratom)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 2007/436/EC, Euratom of 7 June 2007 on the system of the European Communities’ own resources (1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000 of 22 May 2000 implementing Decision 2007/436/EC, Euratom on the system of the European Communities own resources (2) and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 6(4) and Article 17(3) and (5) thereof,
Having consulted the Advisory Committee on the Communities’ own resources, provided for in Article 20 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 97/245/EC, Euratom (3) laid down models for the statements of the Member States accounts for own resources to be sent to the Commission.
(2) Following the implementation in Community law of the agreements concluded during the Uruguay round there is no longer any material difference between agricultural duties and customs duties. Moreover, Decision 2007/436/EC, Euratom does not make this distinction. It is therefore appropriate to remove this distinction from the models contained in Annexes I and III to Decision 97/245/EC, Euratom.
(3) Further, Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (4) introduced, amongst other measures, a production charge to contribute to the financing of expenditure and a levy on the surplus amount to prevent the accumulation of surpluses. Moreover, under certain conditions, one-off amounts are to be paid for additional sugar quotas and for supplementary isoglucose quotas. As these levies are own resources, the models contained in Annexes I and III to Decision 97/245/EC, Euratom must therefore be adapted.
(4) Steps should also be taken to capitalise on the experience acquired by the Member States in producing the accounting statements provided for in Article 6(3)(a) and (b) of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000 and to improve the presentation of the forms drawn up in line with the models contained in Annexes I and III to Decision 97/245/EC, Euratom.
(5) Decision No 97/245/EC, Euratom lays down the detailed arrangements for the transmission of information and establishes a form for reporting, in the context of the annual report, cases of irrecoverability as referred to in Article 17(2) of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000.
(6) Given the experience acquired in the transmission of the relevant information it is necessary to take measures to ensure that all the facts necessary for the full examination of cases of irrecoverability reported by the Member States are provided to the Commission.
(7) The arrangements for the transmission of reports and efficient management of information should be adapted to the growing number of cases of irrecoverability by introducing a new electronic management and information system which should be used by the Member States to send their reports electronically in cases where amounts are declared or deemed irrecoverable.
(8) Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2028/2004 (5) introduced in Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000 a clear distinction between reporting cases where established entitlements are declared or deemed irrecoverable, referred to in the third subparagraph of Article 17(3) of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000, and the annual reports referred to in Article 17(5) of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000. It is therefore appropriate to replace the standard form to be used for the annual reports and to lay down a standard form for reporting cases of irrecoverability.
(9) A suitable length of time should also be allowed to produce the amended statements.
(10) Decision 97/245/EC, Euratom should therefore be amended accordingly,
Decision 97/245/EC, Euratom is amended as follows:
1. In Article 1(1), the part of the sentence ‘in Article 6(3)(a) and (b) of Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1552/89’ is replaced by ‘in Article 6(4), first subparagraph, points (a) and (b) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000 (6).
2. In Article 2(1), the part of the sentence ‘in Article 6(4) of Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1552/89’ is replaced by ‘in Article 6(5) of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000’.
3. Article 3 is replaced by the following:
4. Annex I is replaced by the text set out in Annex I to this Decision.
5. Annex III is replaced by the text set out in Annex II to this Decision.
6. Annex VI is replaced by the text set out in Annex III to this Decision.
7. Annex VII set out in Annex IV to this Decision is added.
The first statements to be produced using the models contained in Annexes I and III to Decision 97/245/EC, Euratom, as amended by this Decision, shall be the monthly statement for June 2009 and the quarterly statement for the second quarter of 2009.
The electronic management and information system and the model referred to in Article 3(2) and (3) respectively of Decision 97/245/EC, Euratom, as amended by this Decision, shall be used from the date communicated by the Commission to the Member States.
Until such communication Member States shall use the model set out in Annex VI to Decision 97/245/EC, Euratom as amended by Decision 2002/235/EC, Euratom (7).
This Decision is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 170/83 of 25 January 1983 establishing a Community system for the conservation and management of fishery resources (1), as amended by the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 11 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 170/83, the conservation measures necessary to achieve the aims set out in Article 1 of that Regulation are to be formulated in the light of the available scientific advice;
Whereas the Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources, hereinafter called 'the Convention', was approved by Decision 81/691/EEC (2); whereas it entered into force for the Community on 21 May 1982;
Whereas the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), established by the Convention, adopted, on the recommendation of its Scientific Committee, conservation measures for the waters off South Georgia, providing for a total allowable catch (TAC) of 26 000 tonnes of Champsocephalus gunnari for the 1990/91 fishing year and a TAC of 2 500 tonnes of Dissostichus eleginoides for the period beginning on 2 November 1990, a prohibition on directed fishing for Patagonotothen brevicauda guntheri, Notothenia gibberifrons, Chaenocephalus aceratus, Pseudochaenichthys georgianus and Notothenia squamifrons for the whole of the 1990/91 fishing year and for Champsocephalus gunnari from 1 April to 4 November 1991, a limitation of 500 tonnes on by-catches of Notothenia gibberifrons and a limitation of 300 tonnes on by-catches of Notothenia rossii, Chaenocephalus aceratus and Pseudochaenichthys georgianus, a restriction to 5 % of by-catches per haul of any one of those species and a catch reporting system for the 1990/91 fishing year;
Whereas these conservation measures were notified to the members of the CCAMLR on 7 November 1990; whereas, in the absence of objections to the measures, they became binding on 7 May 1991 under Article IX (6) of the Convention;
Whereas the members of the CCAMLR stated that they intended to apply these conservation measures on a provisional basis, without waiting until they became binding, in view of the fact that the TAC for Champsocephalus gunnari and the prohibition on directed fishing for Patagonotothen brevicauda guntheri, Notothenia gibberifrons, Chaenocephalus aceratus, Pseudochaenichthys georgianus and Notothenia squamifrons were fixed for the 1990/91 fishing year which began on 1 July 1990, and the TAC for Dissotichus eleginoides began on 2 November 1990;
Whereas, therefore, the necessary provisions should now be laid down to ensure that the conservation measures adopted by the CCAMLR are applied to Community fishermen;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 170/83, it is for the Council to establish the TAC per stock or group of stocks, the share available to the Community and the specific conditions under which catches have to be taken;
Whereas the fishing activities referred to in this Regulation are subject to the control measures provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2241/87 of 23 July 1987 establishing certain control measures for fishing activities (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3483/88 (4);
Whereas the TAC adopted by the CCAMLR for Champsocephalus gunnari covers the entire 1990/91 fishing year; whereas Member States should therefore also communicate to the Commission the catches taken by their vessels between 1 July 1990 and the date on which this Regulation enters into force;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2245/85 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1589/90 (6), should be amended accordingly,
Regulation (EEC) No 2245/85 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Articles 2, 2a and 2b shall be replaced by the following:

Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 3676/93 of 21 December 1993 fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1994 and certain conditions under which they may be fished (2), provides for cod quotas for 1994;
Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantitative limitations on catches of stocks subject to quotas, it is necessary for the Commission to fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated;
Whereas, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of cod in the waters of ICES division III a Kattegat by vessels flying the flag of Germany or registered in Germany have reached the quota allocated for 1994; whereas Germany has prohibited fishing for this stock as from 5 June 1994; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,
Catches of cod in the waters of ICES division III a Kattegat by vessels flying the flag of Germany or registered in Germany are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated to Germany for 1994.
Fishing for cod in the waters of ICES division III a Kattegat by vessels flying the flag of Germany or registered in Germany is prohibited, as well as the retention on board, the transhipment and the landing of such stock captured by the abovementioned vessels after the date of application of this Regulation.

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1428/76 of 21 June 1976 on rules for the advance fixing of levies on rice and broken rice
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 of 21 June 1976 on the common organization of the market in rice (1), and in particular Article 13 (4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the common threshold price is the Community market's sole protection ; whereas if imported goods were to enter this market at prices below the threshold price, the normal disposal of home-grown rice in accordance with the regionalization rules would be seriously threatened ; whereas, where the levy is fixed in advance, the premium provided for in Article 13 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 must therefore be fixed in such a way that products imported under this procedure enter the Community market under conditions which cannot disturb its balance;
Whereas, to this end, it is necessary that this premium should cover the difference between the cif price and the cif forward delivery price, where the latter is lower than the former, determined on the basis of offers reflecting the real trend on the future market;
Whereas there are exceptional cases in which special circumstances cause considerable price fluctuations on the market in rice ; whereas in order to prevent such fluctuations from adversely affecting the Community market in rice, provision should be made in such a case for fixing the premium at a higher level than that resulting from application of the usual rule so as to cover the difference between the cif price and the cif forward delivery price, or for suspending temporarily the advance fixing of the levy or for reducing the period for which it is possible to obtain advance fixing of the levy;
Whereas the levies on paddy rice and semi-milled rice are not calculated by comparing a threshold price and cif price for these products but are derived from the levies on husked rice and wholly milled rice, respectively, adjusted by a conversion rate;
Whereas, therefore, the adjustment, by reference to the threshold prices, of a levy fixed in advance for paddy rice or semi-milled rice is appropriate only if the conversion rates used for the calculation of the levy itself are applied ; whereas rules for the advance fixing of levies should therefore be laid down;
Whereas it is desirable, by means of the premium system, to induce the importer to respect the period indicated by him when applying for the advance fixing of a levy in accordance with Article 13 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 although allowance should be made for the fact that the conditions of purchase customary in the international rice trade and uncertainty about delivery time will often prevent the import from being effected during the month indicated on the import licence,
1. The amount of the premiums provided for in Article 13 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 shall be fixed in accordance with the criteria laid down in this Regulation.
2. A premium shall be fixed for the current month and a premium shall be fixed for each subsequent month until the licence expires.
The amount of the premiums, expressed in units of account per metric ton, shall be the same for the whole Community. (1)See page 1 of this Official Journal.
Where the cif price for husked rice, for wholly milled rice or for broken rice is higher than the cif forward delivery price for the same product, the amount of the premium shall, subject to the provisions of the following Articles, be equal: (a) for husked rice, wholly milled rice and broken rice, to the difference between those prices;
(b) for paddy rice, to the premium applicable to husked rice, adjusted by reference to the conversion rate determined in accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76;
(c) for semi-milled rice, to the premium applicable to wholly milled rice, adjusted by reference to the conversion rate determined in accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76.
1. The cif price for each product shall be that determined, in accordance with Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 on the day the scale of premiums is fixed.
2. The cif forward delivery price for each product shall be the cif price determined in accordance with Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76, but calculated on the basis of offers at North Sea ports, as follows: (a) in the case of imports to be effected during the month in which the licence was issued, that price shall be the cif forward delivery price ruling for shipment during that month;
(b) in the case of imports to be effected during the month following the month in which the licence was issued, that price shall be the cif forward delivery price ruling for shipment during the intended month of importation;
(c) in the case of imports to be effected during the remaining months of the period of validity of the licence, that price shall be the cif forward delivery price ruling for shipment during the month preceding the intended month of importation;
(d) if there are no forward offers for shipment during a given month, that price shall be the cif forward delivery price ruling for shipment during the last month for which a forward offer was made.
If the cif forward delivery price is equal to the cif price or lower by an amount not exceeding 0 725 unit of account per metric ton, the premium shall be zero units of account.
The amount of premium in force for a particular product and period shall be adjusted where application of the rules laid down in the preceding Articles entails a change in the amount of more than 0 725 unit of account per metric ton.
1. If, in view of prospective imports, serious difficulties threaten the Community market in the product in question, the amount of the premium may temporarily be fixed, except for the month during which the licence was issued, at a level higher than the level resulting from the preceding Articles.
2. The amount of the premium may not exceed the amount resulting from the preceding Articles by more than: (a) 0 750 unit of account per metric ton for the first month following that in which the licence was issued;
(b) 0 775 unit of account per metric ton for the second month;
(c) 1 725 units of account per metric ton for the third month.
The amount laid down in (c) shall be increased by 0 725 unit of account per metric ton for each subsequent month.
1. In exceptional cases where special circumstances cause considerable price fluctuations on the market in rice which could not be foreseen in the light of supply and demand on the world market, the premium may be fixed at a level higher than that resulting from the preceding Articles.
2. The premium shall not be increased by more than the difference, for each product, between the cif price and the last cif price before prices began to be affected by the special circumstances mentioned in paragraph 1.
In the cases mentioned in Article 7, the advance fixing of the levy in accordance with Article 13 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 may be suspended, or the period for which it is possible to obtain advance fixing of the levy may be reduced, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 27 of that Regulation.
Rules regarding the scale of premiums to be applied in exceptional cases may be adopted, as necessary, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 27 of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76.

1. Where an import levy on paddy rice or semi-milled rice is fixed in advance, the adjustment provided for in Article 13 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 shall be made on the basis of conversion rates determined pursuant to Article 19 (a) of that Regulation.
2. Detailed rules for the application of paragraph 1 shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 27 of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76.
