32002D0114 | 2002/114/EC: Council Decision of 21 January 2002 authorising the Government of Portugal to grant aid to Portuguese pig farmers who were beneficiaries of the measures granted in 1994 and 1998
| Council Decision
of 21 January 2002
authorising the Government of Portugal to grant aid to Portuguese pig farmers who were beneficiaries of the measures granted in 1994 and 1998
(2002/114/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 88(2) thereof,
Having regard to the request made by the Government of Portugal on 23 November 2001,
Whereas:
(1) The Portuguese pig sector is structurally in deficit and characterised by small farms with an average, in 1998, of 18 animals per farm (the Community average is 106), and 80 % of farms have fewer than 10 breeding pigs.
(2) In relation to the European Union, purchases from other Member States accounted for 40 % of the final value of production of the Portuguese pig sector in the period from 1994 to 2000, whereas sales reached only 4 % of that value. In particular, the figures show that purchases from other Member States increased by 30 % in 1995 and by 47 % in 1999 in comparison with preceding years, and that sales were negligible.
(3) In 1993, the Portuguese pig market witnessed a sharp drop in producer prices owing to an increase in supply, coinciding with the first year of the second stage of accession, which marked the start of full application of the common agricultural policy in this sector. This had a profound effect on the profitability of a large number of farms.
(4) In 1998, the Portuguese market was also affected by the difficulties in the European pig sector, which experienced its worst crisis of the last decade. The crisis was largely due to a combination of surplus production in the Union and the crisis on the Russian market, which accounted for 50 % of the Union's exports. Domestic prices registered sharp falls throughout the year, which once again adversely affected farmers' incomes.
(5) The Community measures adopted in response to that crisis (export refunds, aid for private storage and food aid for Russia) had little effect on the Portuguese market.
(6) In order to alleviate these two situations, which were affecting small farmers, who as a result were experiencing difficulties negotiating with credit institutions, the Portuguese government granted two aid measures, in 1994 and 1998.
(7) The aid granted in 1994, implemented by Decree-Law No 146/94, gave beneficiaries the possibility of renegotiating loans they had obtained from credit institutions to invest in the modernisation of premises, health protection and environmental protection.
(8) Furthermore, in 1998, faced with the severe crisis in the Community sector, the Portuguese authorities adopted emergency measures by Decree-Law No 4/99 to prevent cash-flow problems and successive bankruptcies by granting a moratorium on repayments of loans taken out with banks and interest rate subsidies in respect of such loans. This measure was limited to one year.
(9) The aid amounted to EUR 10 million for 1994 and EUR 6,3 million for 1998 and the total number of beneficiaries was 2116. As the pattern of trade shows, this aid did not have any particular effect on intra-Community trade and consequently did not cause any distortion of competition.
(10) With respect to the aid granted in 1994, at the Commission's request the Portuguese authorities submitted a letter, registered on 27 May 1997, containing the information the Commission had requested.
(11) With respect to the aid granted in 1998, the Portuguese authorities also submitted a letter to the Commission, registered on 21 December 1998, giving notification, in accordance with Article 88(3) of the Treaty, of the aid measures it had granted.
(12) In its decisions of 25 November 1999 and 4 October 2000, the Commission held that the measures in question were not compatible with the common market. Pursuant to those decisions, the Portuguese authorities initiated a procedure to recover the aid granted.
(13) However, refunding the aid granted threatens the economic viability of not a few beneficiaries and would have extremely damaging social effects in certain regions because 50 % of the pig herd is concentrated in less than 5 % of the territory.
(14) 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 aid by the Portuguese Government to the Portuguese pig sector involving the grant of aid to beneficiaries covered by the Commission Decisions of 25 November 1999 and 4 October 2000, totalling not more than EUR 16,3 million, equivalent to the amounts which those beneficiaries must reimburse under those Decisions, shall be considered compatible with the common market.
This Decision is addressed to the Portuguese Republic. | 0 | 0.2 | 0.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.2 | 0.2 | 0 |

31994D0133 | 94/133/EC: Commission Decision of 8 February 1994 concerning an application for the refund of anti-dumping duties collected on certain imports of certain polyester yarns (man-made staple fibres) originating in Indonesia (Ottoman Pacific Ltd) (Only the English text is authentic)
| COMMISSION DECISION of 8 February 1994 concerning an application for the refund of anti-dumping duties collected on certain imports of certain polyester yarns (man-made staple fibres) originating in Indonesia (Ottoman Pacific Ltd) (Only the English text is authentic) (94/133/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), and in particular Article 16 thereof,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE (1) On 31 March 1992 by Council Regulation (EEC) No 830/92 (2), a definitive anti-dumping duty of 11,9 % was imposed on imports of certain polyester yarns (man-made staple fibres) originating in Taiwan, Indonesia, India, the People's Republic of China and Turkey.
(2) Ottoman Pacific Ltd, 3 Hawksworth Street, Ilkley, UK-West Yorkshire LS29 9DU, importer of polyester yarns produced and exported by PT Indo Rama Synthetics, an Indonesian exporter (hereinafter referred to as 'the exporter'), subject to the anti-dumping duty of 11,9 %, claimed on 19 June 1992 a refund of anti-dumping duties paid in the period 3 October 1991 to 30 April 1992. In accordance with the Commission notice concerning the reimbursement of anti-dumping duties (3) (hereinafter referred to as 'the notice'), the Commission considered that as the refund request related to more than three consignments in a period of at least six months, it should be treated as a recurring application in the context of point I.4 of the notice.
The total refund claimed by Ottoman Pacific Ltd, for anti-dumping duties paid between 3 October 1991 and 30 April 1992, amounts to (£ . . .) (4).
(3) Following submissions by the applicant with regard to the margin of dumping during the above reference period, the Commission sought and verified all information deemed to be necessary for the purposes of a determination and carried out investigations at the premises of the exporter in Indonesia.
Subsequently, the applicant was informed of the preliminary results of this examination and given an opportunity to comment. Its observations were taken into account where considered necessary.
(4) The Commission informed the Member States and gave its opinion on the matter. No Member State disagreed with this opinion.
B. ARGUMENTS OF THE APPLICANT (5) The applicant based its claim on the allegation, supported by data concerning normal value and export prices to the Community, that the export prices from the exporter were such that dumping did not exist.
C. ADMISSIBILITY (6) The application is admissible since it was introduced in conformity with the relevant provisions of the Community's anti-dumping legislation, in particular that concerning time limits.
D. MERITS OF THE CLAIM (7) Pursuant to Article 16 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 and point II of the notice, the applicant showed, and the verifications carried out confirmed, that the export prices were, with the exception of a small number of transactions, not lower than the normal value for sales of the like product in Indonesia.
(8) Concerning the methodology applied in establishing the dumping margin, account had to be taken of the fact that the exporter concerned had not cooperated during the original anti-dumping proceeding. It was therefore necessary to determine the methodology in accordance with Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88.
(9) (a) Normal value
Where a particular product type exported to the Community was sold on the domestic market in the ordinary course of trade, and in sufficient quantities, normal value was established on the basis of the weighted average domestic price actually paid or payable for that product type.
Where a particular product type exported to the Community was not sold or was sold in insufficient quantities on the domestic market, normal value was constructed on the basis of the costs of production plus a reasonable profit margin. The selling general and administrative expenses included in the cost of production and the profit margins were calculated by reference to the expenses incurred and the profits realized on sales of other types of the like product on the domestic market, in accordance with Article 2 (3) (b) (ii) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88.
(b) Export price
All shipments of the product concerned during the reference period made by the exporter and released for free circulation in the Community were considered.
No importer in the Community of the product exported by the exporter was related to the latter. Export prices were thus established on the basis of the price paid or payable for the product sold for export to the Community.
(c) Comparison
Normal value and export prices were compared according to the provisions of Article 2 (9) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88.
(10) On this basis, it was found that the application was justified and that the actual dumping margin for the reference period was negligible (less than 0,1 %).
(11) Amount of the refund: since no actual dumping margin was found, the amounts to be refunded are (£ . . .), corresponding to the full amount of anti-dumping duty paid for those imports released for free circulation in the Community between 3 October 1991 and 30 April 1992,
The application for the refund of anti-dumping duties submitted by Ottoman Pacific Ltd for the period 3 October 1991 to 30 April 1992 is granted for the amount of (£ . . .).
The amount set out in Article 1 shall be refunded by the United Kingdom.
This Decision is addressed to the United Kingdom and Ottoman Pacific Ltd, 3 Hawksworth Street, Ilkley, UK-West Yorkshire LS29 9DU. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

of 1 March 2002
fixing the export refunds on beef and veal
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2345/2001(2), and in particular Article 33(12) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 234/79 of 5 February 1979 on the procedure for adjusting the Common Customs Tariff nomenclature used for agricultural products(3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3209/89(4), and in particular Article 2(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EEC) No 32/82(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 744/2000(6), Regulation (EEC) No 1964/82(7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2772/2000(8), and Regulation (EEC) No 2388/84(9), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3661/92(10), lay down the conditions for granting special export refunds on certain cuts of beef and veal and certain preserved beef and veal products.
(3) It follows from applying those rules and criteria to the foreseeable situation on the market in beef and veal that the refund should be as set out below.
(4) Given the current market situation in the Community and the possibilities of disposal in certain third countries in particular, export refunds should be granted, on the one hand, on bovine animals intended for slaughter of a live weight greater than 220 kilograms and less than 300 kilograms, and, on the other on adult bovine animals of a live weight of at least 300 kilograms.
(5) Export refunds should be granted for certain destinations on some fresh or chilled meat listed in the Annex under CN code 0201, on some frozen meat listed in the Annex under CN code 0202, on some meat or offal listed in the Annex under CN code 0206 and on some other prepared or preserved meat or offal listed in the Annex under CN code 1602 50 10.
(6) In view of the wide differences in products covered by CN codes 0201 20 90 97/00 and 0202 20 90 91/00 used for refund purposes, refunds should only be granted on cuts in which the weight of bone does not exceed one third.
(7) In the case of meat of bovine animals, boned or boneless, salted and dried, there are traditional trade flows to Switzerland. To allow this trade to continue, the refund should be set to cover the difference between prices on the Swiss market and export prices in the Member States.
(8) In the case of certain other cuts and preserves of meat or offal shown in the Annex under CN codes 1602 50 31 to 1602 50 80, the Community share of international trade may be maintained by granting a refund corresponding to that at present available.
(9) In the case of other beef and veal products, a refund need not be fixed since the Community's share of world trade is not significant.
(10) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87(11), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2556/2001(12), establishes the agricultural product nomenclature for the purposes of export refunds.
(11) In order to simplify customs export formalities for operators, the refunds on all frozen cuts should be brought into line with those on fresh or chilled cuts other than those from adult male bovine animals.
(12) Checks on products covered by CN code 1602 50 should be stepped up by making the granting of refunds on these products conditional on manufacture under the arrangements provided for in Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 565/80 of 4 March 1980 on the advance payment of export refunds in respect of agricultural products(13), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2026/83(14).
(13) Refunds on female animals should vary depending on their age in order to prevent abuses in the export of certain pure-bred breeding animals.
(14) Opportunities exist for the export to certain third countries of heifers other than those intended for slaughter, but to prevent any abuse control criteria should be laid down to ensure that these animals are not more than 36 months old.
(15) Under Article 6(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1964/82, the special refund is to be reduced if the quantity of boned meat to be exported amounts to less than 95 %, but not less than 85 %, of the total weight of cuts produced by boning.
(16) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
1. The list of products on which export refunds as referred to in Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 are granted and the amount thereof and the destinations shall be as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
2. The products must meet the relevant health marking requirements of:
- Chapter XI of Annex I to Council Directive 64/433/EEC(15),
- Chapter VI of Annex I to Council Directive 94/65/EC(16),
- Chapter VI of Annex B to Council Directive 77/99/EEC(17).
The grant of the refund for product code 0102 90 59 90/00 of the nomenclature for export refunds and for exports to the third country 075 listed in the Annex to this Regulation shall be subject to presentation, when the customs formalities for export are completed, of the original and one copy of the veterinary certificate signed by an official veterinarian certifying that these are heifers of an age of not more than 36 months. The original of the certificate shall be returned to the exporter and the copy, certified as being in accordance with the regulations by the customs authorities, shall be attached to the application for payment of the refund.
In the case referred to in the third subparagraph of Article 6(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1964/82 the rate of the refund on products falling within CN code 0201 30 00 91/00 shall be reduced by EUR 14,00/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 2 March 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.25 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 97/69 of 16 January 1969 on measures to be taken for uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2055/84 (2), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas provisions are needed in order to ensure the uniform application of the nomenclature contained in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 149/86 (3), with a view to the classification of a preparation of uncooked, minced but not finely homogenized bovine meat, characterized by the following analytical data:
Meat proteins (% of Nitrogen×6,25) 14,08 %
Fat 24,60 %
1.2.3 // Meat without fat // (% of Nitrogen×100) 3,55 // 63,40 %

Whereas subheading 16.02 B III b) ex 1 ex aa) (22) of the abovementioned nomenclature covers other preparations of bovine meat containing 80 % or more but less than 90 % of not finely homogenized meat excluding offal and fat, and whereas subheading 16.02 B III b) ex 1 ex aa) (33) covers the same preparations containing 60 % or more but less than 80 % of meat;
Whereas the preparation in question, which contains 63,4 % of meat without fat, cannot fall within subheading 16.02 B III b) ex 1 ex aa) (22); whereas this preparation has the characteristics of goods falling within subheading 16.02 B III b) ex 1 ex aa) (33) and must therefore be classified under that subheading;
Whereas, since the Committee on Common Customs Tariff Nomenclature has not delivered an opinion, the Commission has proposed to the Council the provisions to be adopted, under the procedure provided for in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 97/69;
Whereas, three months after the proposal was submitted to it, the Council has not acted and it is therefore appropriate for the Commission to adopt the proposed provisions under the aforementioned procedure in Regulation (EEC) No 97/69,

(1) Pursuant to Article 22 of Directive 2000/29/EC, Member States may receive a ‘plant health control’ financial contribution from the Union to cover expenditure relating directly to the necessary measures which have been taken or are planned to be taken for the purpose of combating harmful organisms introduced from third countries or from other areas in the Union, in order to eradicate or, if that is not possible, to contain them.
(2) Germany introduced three requests for financial contribution. The first one was introduced on 22 December 2009 and relates to the control measures of Anoplophora glabripennis in Baden-Württemberg, for measures executed in 2008 and 2009 to control an outbreak of the harmful organism detected at the border between France and Germany and notified by France in 2008. The second request, introduced on 22 December 2009, relates to the control measures of Saperda candida in Schleswig-Holstein for measures executed in 2008 and 2009 to control an outbreak detected in 2008. The third request, introduced on 28 April 2010, relates to the control measures of Diabrotica virgifera in Baden-Württemberg, for measures executed in 2009 to control outbreaks of the harmful organism detected in 2007 and 2009, the outbreaks in 2007 having already been the subject of a co-financing in 2008 and 2009.
(3) France introduced a request for financial contribution on 30 April 2010 relating to the control measures of Rhynchophorus ferrugineus for measures executed in 2009, executed or planned in 2010, and planned for 2011 to control outbreaks detected in 2009 and 2010. The request has been revised on 15 October 2010 on the basis of the comments received during its evaluation by the ad hoc Working Group of the Commission. Based on the technical information provided by France, there is no indication that the presence of Rhynchophorus ferrugineus in the areas proposed for a co-financing is due to natural spread from other infested areas in the region Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.
(4) Italy introduced two requests for financial contribution on 30 April 2010. The first request relates to the control measures of Anoplophora chinensis in Lazio, in the commune of Rome, for measures executed in 2009 and 2010 to control an outbreak detected in 2008. Measures executed in 2008 and 2009 have already been the subject of co-financing in 2009. The second request relates to the control measures of Anoplophora glabripennis in Lombardia, in the commune of Corbetta, for measures executed from 1 May until 31 December 2009 and in 2010 to control an outbreak detected in 2007. The measures executed in 2007, 2008 and until April 2009 have already been the subject of co-financing in 2009.
(5) Moreover, Italy introduced two other requests for financial contribution on 30 April 2010. The first one relates to the control measures of Anoplophora chinensis in Lombardia in the province of Brescia, commune of Gussago, for measures executed from 1 May until 31 December 2009 to control an outbreak detected in 2008. The second one relates to the control measures of Anoplophora glabripennis in Veneto in the province of Treviso, commune of Cornuda, for measures executed in 2009 and 2010 to control an outbreak detected in 2009. Both sets of measures consist of a variety of plant health actions, in the sense of Article 23(2)(a) and (b) of Directive 2000/29/EC. They also consist of prohibitions or restrictions in the sense of Article 23(2)(c) of that Directive, namely the replacement in 2009 and 2010 of destroyed deciduous trees by tree species which are not susceptible to the abovementioned harmful organisms.
(6) Cyprus introduced a request for financial contribution on 29 April 2010 relating to the control measures of Rhynchophorus ferrugineus for measures executed or planned in 2010 to control outbreaks detected in 2009 and 2010. The request has been revised on 15 October 2010 after the comments received during its evaluation by the ad hoc Working Group of the Commission. Based on the technical information provided by Cyprus, there is no indication that the presence of Rhynchophorus ferrugineus in the areas proposed for a co-financing is due to natural spread from other infested areas in Cyprus.
(7) Portugal introduced a request for financial contribution on 30 April 2010 relating to the control measures of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus for measures planned in 2010 to control outbreaks detected in 2008. The measures executed in 2008 and 2009 have already been the subject of co-financing in 2009.
(8) Spain introduced a request for financial contribution on 30 April 2010 relating to the control measures of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus for measures planned in 2010 for an outbreak detected in 2008. The measures executed in 2008 and 2009 have already been the subject of co-financing in 2009.
(9) Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Cyprus and Portugal have each established a programme of actions to eradicate or contain organisms harmful to plants introduced in their territories. These programmes specify the objectives to be achieved, the measures carried out, their duration and their cost.
(10) All the above measures consist of a variety of plant health measures, including destruction of contaminated trees or crops, application of plant protection products, sanitation techniques, inspections and testings carried out officially or upon official request to monitor the presence or extent of contamination by the respective harmful organisms, and replacement of destroyed trees, in the sense of Article 23(2)(a), (b) and (c) of Directive 2000/29/EC.
(11) Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Cyprus and Portugal have applied for the allocation of a Union financial contribution to these programmes in accordance with the requirements laid down in Article 23 of Directive 2000/29/EC, in particular paragraphs 1 and 4 thereof, and in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 1040/2002 of 14 June 2002 establishing detailed rules for the implementation of the provisions relating to the allocation of a financial contribution from the Union for plant-health control and repealing Regulation (EC) No 2051/97 (2).
(12) The technical information provided by Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Cyprus and Portugal has enabled the Commission to analyse the situation accurately and comprehensively. The Commission has concluded that the conditions for the granting of a Union financial contribution, as laid down in particular in Article 23 of Directive 2000/29/EC, have been met. Accordingly, it is appropriate to provide a Union financial contribution to cover the expenditure on those programmes.
(13) In accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 23(5) of Directive 2000/29/EC, the Union financial contribution may cover up to 50 % of eligible expenditure for measures that have been taken within a period of not more than 2 years after the date of detection of the appearance or that are planned for that period. However, in accordance with the third subparagraph of that Article, that period may be extended if it has been established that the objective of the measures will be achieved within a reasonable additional period, in which case the rate of the Union financial contribution shall be digressive over the years concerned. Having regard to the conclusions of the Working Group on evaluation of solidarity dossiers, it is appropriate to extend the 2-year period for the programmes concerned, while reducing the rate of the Union financial contributions for these measures to 45 % of eligible expenditure for the third year and to 40 % for the fourth year of these programmes.
(14) The Union financial contribution up to 45 % of eligible expenditure should therefore apply to the following programmes: Italy, Lombardia, Anoplophora chinensis (2010); Italy, Lazio, Anoplophora chinensis (2010); Italy, Lombardia, Anoplophora glabripennis (2009); Portugal, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (2010); and Spain, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (2010), as the measures concerned have already been the subject of a Union financial contribution under Commission Decision 2009/996/EU (3) for the first 2 years of their implementation. The same level of contribution should apply to the third year (2009) of the programme presented by Germany in Baden-Württemberg for Diabrotica virgifera in the rural districts of Ortenaukreis and Bodenseekreis, which measures have been the subject of a Union financial contribution under Commission Decision 2009/147/EC (4) and Decision 2009/996/EU.
(15) Moreover, a Union contribution up to 40 % should therefore apply to the fourth year (2010) of the programme presented by Italy for Lombardia for Anoplophora glabripennis, which measures have been the subject of a Union financial contribution under Decision 2009/996/EU for the first 3 years of their implementation.
(16) In accordance with Article 24 of Directive 2000/29/EC the Commission should determine whether the introduction of the relevant harmful organism has been caused by inadequate examinations, inspections or controls, with a view to possibly adopting the measures required by the findings from its verification.
(17) In accordance with Article 3(2)(a) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 of 21 June 2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (5), plant-health measures are financed from the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund. For the purpose of financial control of these measures, Articles 9, 36 and 37 of the above Regulation should apply.
(18) In accordance with Article 75 of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (6) and Article 90(1) of Commission Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2342/2002 of 23 December 2002 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (7), the commitment of expenditure from the Union budget shall be preceded by a financing decision adopted by the institution to which powers have been delegated, setting out the essential elements of the action involving the expenditure.
(19) The present decision constitutes a financing decision for the expenditure provided in the co-financing requests presented by Member States.
(20) The measures provided in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
The allocation of a Union financial contribution for 2010 to cover expenditure incurred by Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Cyprus and Portugal relating to necessary measures as specified in Article 23(2)(a), (b) and (c) of Directive 2000/29/EC and taken for the purpose of combating the organisms concerned by the eradication programmes listed in the Annex, is hereby approved.
The total amount of the Union financial contribution referred to in Article 1 is EUR 7 342 161. The maximum amounts of the Union financial contribution for each of the programmes shall be as indicated in the Annex.
The Union financial contribution as set out in the Annex shall be paid on the following conditions:
(a) evidence of the measures taken has been submitted by the Member State concerned in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1040/2002;
(b) a request for payment has been submitted by the Member State concerned to the Commission, in accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1040/2002.
The payment of the financial contribution is without prejudice to the verifications by the Commission under Article 24 of Directive 2000/29/EC.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1442/88 of 24 May 1988 on the granting, for the 1988/89 to 1995/96 wine years, of permanent abandonment premiums in respect of wine-growing areas (1), and in particular Article 12 (1) thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 11a of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2729/88 of 31 August 1988 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 1442/88 on the granting, for the 1988/89 to 1995/96 wine years, of permanent abandonment premiums in respect of wine-growing areas (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 678/89 (3), Italy lodged an amendment before 1 October 1989 to the request for certain areas to be excluded from the scope of the measures provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 1442/88 from the 1990/91 wine year; whereas that amendment falls within the categories justified in the previous request resulting in a Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1328/89 (4) authorizing Italy not to apply the measures provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 1442/88 in certain areas; whereas a new request relates to certain areas which have qualified for restructuring premiums; whereas that request complies with the criteria laid down in Article 12 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1442/88; whereas the corrected wine-growing potential of those areas as a whole is less than 10 % of Italian national wine-growing potential;

| 21.5.2010 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 125/44
COUNCIL DECISION
of 19 January 2010
on the existence of an excessive deficit in Portugal
(2010/288/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and, in particular, Article 126(6) in conjunction with Articles 126(13) and 136 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the observations made by Portugal,
Whereas:
(1) According to Article 126(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Member States shall avoid excessive government deficits.
(2) The Stability and Growth Pact is based on the objective of sound government finances as a means of strengthening the conditions for price stability and for strong sustainable growth conducive to employment creation.
(3) The excessive deficit procedure (EDP) under Article 126 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, as clarified by Council Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 of 7 July 1997 on speeding up and clarifying the implementation of the excessive deficit procedure (1) (which is part of the Stability and Growth Pact), provides for a decision on the existence of an excessive deficit. Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 also establishes provisions for the implementation of Article 104 of the Treaty establishing the European Community — which has become Article 126 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. The Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure annexed to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union sets out further provisions relating to the implementation of the EDP. Council Regulation (EC) No 479/2009 (2) lays down detailed rules and definitions for the application of the provisions of that Protocol.
(4) The 2005 reform of the Stability and Growth Pact sought to strengthen its effectiveness and economic underpinnings as well as to safeguard the sustainability of the public finances in the long run. It aimed at ensuring that, in particular, the economic and budgetary background was taken into account fully in all steps in the EDP. In this way, the Stability and Growth Pact provides the framework supporting government policies for a prompt return to sound budgetary positions taking account of the economic situation.
(5) Article 104(5) of the Treaty establishing the European Community, which has become Article 126(5) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, required the Commission to address an opinion to the Council if the Commission considered that an excessive deficit in a Member State existed or might occur. Having taken into account its report in accordance with Article 104(3) of the Treaty establishing the European Community, which has become Article 126(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Financial Committee in accordance with Article 104(4) of the Treaty establishing the European Community, which has become Article 126(4) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, the Commission concluded that an excessive deficit existed in Portugal. The Commission therefore addressed such an opinion to the Council in respect of Portugal on 11 November 2009 (3).
(6) Article 126(6) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union states that the Council should consider any observations which the Member State concerned may wish to make before deciding, after an overall assessment, whether an excessive deficit exists. In the case of Portugal, this overall assessment leads to the conclusions set out in this Decision.
(7) According to data notified by the Portuguese authorities in October 2009, the general government deficit in Portugal is planned to reach 5,9 % of GDP in 2009, thus exceeding and not close to the 3 % of GDP reference value. The planned excess over the reference value can be qualified as exceptional within the meaning of the Treaty and the Stability and Growth Pact. In particular, it results, among other things, from a severe economic downturn in 2009 in the sense of the Treaty and the Stability and Growth Pact. For the years 2009 and 2010, the Commission services’ autumn 2009 forecast foresees that annual GDP would contract by 2,9 % and grow by 0,3 % respectively. Furthermore, the planned excess over the reference value cannot be considered temporary, since according to the Commission services’ autumn 2009 forecast, taking into account the measures already adopted in the current year, the general government headline deficit will increase to 8 % of GDP in 2010. In 2010 and 2011, despite the discontinuation of most of the measures of extraordinary nature linked to the crisis in 2009, no improvement in the fiscal position is expected due to the continued recessionary environment, the working of automatic stabilisers and a marked growth in interest expenditure. The deficit criterion in the Treaty is not fulfilled.
(8) According to data notified by the Portuguese authorities in October 2009, the general government gross debt (which has been above the 60 % of GDP reference value since 2005) is planned to stand at 74,5 % of GDP in 2009. According to the Commission services’ autumn 2009 forecast, the general government debt-to-GDP ratio is projected to significantly increase by 18 percentage points over the forecast period from 66,3 % in 2008 to 91,1 % in 2011. The debt ratio cannot be considered as diminishing sufficiently and approaching the reference value at a satisfactory pace within the meaning of the Treaty and the Stability and Growth Pact. The debt criterion in the Treaty is not fulfilled.
(9) According to Article 2(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1467/97, ‘relevant factors’ can only be taken into account in the steps leading to the Council Decision on the existence of an excessive deficit in accordance with Article 126(6) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union if the double condition — that the deficit remains close to the reference value and that its excess over the reference value is temporary — is fully met. In the case of Portugal, this double condition is not met. Therefore, relevant factors are not taken into account in the steps leading to this Decision,
From an overall assessment it follows that an excessive deficit exists in Portugal.
This Decision is addressed to the Portuguese Republic. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

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) the basic price should be fixed in accordance with the criteria laid down in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98;
(2) when the basic price for sheep carcases is fixed, account should be taken of the objectives of the common agricultural policy; the main objectives of the common agricultural policy are, in particular, to guarantee a fair standard of living for the farming community and to ensure that supplies are available and that they reach consumers at reasonable prices; these factors result in the price for the 2000 marketing year being fixed at the level laid down in this Regulation;
(3) the weekly seasonally adjusted amounts applicable to the basic price should be fixed in the light of experience gained during the 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998 marketing years concerning private storage,
For the 2000 marketing year, the basic price for sheepmeat is hereby fixed at EUR 504,07/100 kg carcase weight.
The basic price referred to in Article 1 is hereby seasonally adjusted in accordance with the table set out in the Annex.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1832/85 (3) introduced into Regulation (EEC) No 2036/82 (4) the concept of identification and the procedures and time limits for that operation; whereas those provisions far-reachingly amend the existing procedures, which justifies the authorization laid down in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1832/85 for the Commission to adopt the transitional measures required; whereas, however, some operators have proved incapable of complying with the new rules during the term of validity of the transitional measures laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1836/85 (5); whereas the Commission should therefore be authorized to extend the period initially laid down in order to provide a fair solution to the operators' problems of adapting, during 1986 and 1987, to the rules laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 1832/85 once it has been sufficiently established that the operators concerned have been the subject of verification procedures enabling the eligibility of the quantities of peas and field beans in question for the aid to be ensured,
The transitional measures adopted pursuant to Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1832/85 may be extended in accordance with the procedure referred to in that Article.

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (1),
Whereas:
(1) It is necessary to clarify the rules on transit through international areas of airports to ensure legal certainty and transparency.
(2) Third-country nationals subject to the airport transit visa requirement pursuant to Article 3(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 810/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 establishing a Community Code on Visas (Visa Code) (2), who hold a valid visa issued by a Member State, Canada, Japan or the United States of America or who hold a valid residence permit issued by a Member State, Andorra, Canada, Japan, San Marino or the United States of America, are exempt from the airport transit visa requirement. It should be clarified that this exemption also applies to holders of valid visas or residence permits issued by Member States which did not take part in the adoption of Regulation (EC) No 810/2009 and by the Member States which do not yet apply the provisions of the Schengen acquis in full.
(3) As regards third-country nationals holding a valid visa, the exemption should apply when they travel to the issuing country or to any other third country and when they return from the issuing country after having used the visa.
(4) Since the objective of this Regulation, namely to clarify the rules on transit through international areas of airports, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective.
(5) As regards Iceland and Norway, this Regulation constitutes a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement concluded by the Council of the European Union and the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway concerning the latters’ association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis

(5) which fall within the area referred to in Article 1, point B of Decision 1999/437/EC read in conjunction with Article 3 of Council Decision 2008/146/EC (6).
(7) As regards Liechtenstein, this Regulation constitutes a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Protocol between the European Union, the European Community, the Swiss Confederation and the Principality of Liechtenstein on the accession of the Principality of Liechtenstein to the Agreement between the European Union, the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on the Swiss Confederation’s association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis

COUNCIL DECISION 2003/276/CFSP
of 14 April 2003
concerning the implementation of Joint Action 2002/589/CFSP with a view to a European Union contribution to the destruction of ammunition for small arms and light weapons in Albania
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to Joint Action 2002/589/CFSP of 12 July 2002 on the European Union's contribution to combating the destabilising accumulation and spread of small arms and light weapons and repealing Joint Action 1999/34/CFSP (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof, in conjunction with the second indent of Article 23(2) of the Treaty on European Union,
Whereas:
(1) In Common Position 97/357/CFSP of 2 June 1997 on Albania (2) the European Union expressed its intention to help Albania to promote the democratic process, the return to political stability and internal security. The excessive and uncontrolled accumulation and spread of small arms and light weapons (SALW) and their ammunition poses a threat to peace and security and reduces the prospects for sustainable development; this is acutely the case in Albania.
(2) In pursuing the objectives set out in Article 1 of Joint Action 2002/589/CFSP, the European Union envisages operating within the relevant international fora and in a regional context, as appropriate, to render assistance through international organisations, programmes and agencies as well as regional arrangements.
(3) The Albanian Ministry of Defence has identified a large amount of SALW ammunition, surplus to their requirements or recovered from the public. Much of the ammunition is incorrectly packaged and stored in inappropriate locations and conditions.
(4) The NATO Maintenance and Supply Agency (NAMSA), under the terms of the Partnership for Peace Trust Fund, is managing a project aimed at the consolidation and demilitarisation of surplus SALW ammunition, amounting to a total of 11 665 tonnes, during a period of four years.
(5) The Commission has agreed to be entrusted with the implementation of this Decision.
(6) The European Union therefore intends to offer financial assistance to the NAMSA project in accordance with Title II of Joint Action 2002/589/CFSP.
(7) The Commission will ensure an adequate visibility of the contribution of the EU to the project, including by appropriate measures taken by NAMSA,
1. The European Union shall contribute to the destruction of surplus SALW ammunition in Albania.
2. For this purpose, the European Union shall provide financial support to the NAMSA project aimed at the consolidation and demilitarisation of surplus SALW ammunition.
3. The Commission shall be entrusted with the implementation of this Decision. To that end, the Commission shall conclude a financing agreement with NAMSA on the conditions for use of the European Union contribution, which will take the form of a grant. Amongst other things, this grant will be used to cover, over a period of 12 months, salaries, travel expenses, supplies and equipment necessary for the destruction of surplus SALW ammunition in Albania. The financing agreement will stipulate that NAMSA shall ensure visibility of the European Union contribution to the project, appropriate to its size.
1. The financial reference amount for the purpose referred to in Article 1 shall be EUR 820 000.
2. The management of the expenditure financed by the amount specified in paragraph 1 shall be subject to the Community procedures and rules applicable to the general budget of the European Union.
The Commission shall submit regular reports on the implementation of this Decision to the relevant Council bodies, in accordance with Article 9(1) of the Joint Action 2002/589/CFSP. This information will in particular be based on regular reports to be provided by NAMSA under its contractual relationship with the Commission, as stipulated in Article 1.
1. This Decision shall take effect on the date of its adoption. It shall expire twelve months after the financing agreement between the Commission and NAMSA has been concluded.
2. This Decision shall be reviewed ten months after the date of its adoption.
This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

DECISION No 377/2013/EU OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 24 April 2013
derogating temporarily from Directive 2003/87/EC establishing a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community
(Text with EEA relevance)
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 192(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
After consulting the Committee of the Regions,
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),
Whereas:
(1) The aviation sector has a strong international character. A global approach to addressing the rapidly growing emissions from international aviation would therefore be the preferred and most effective way of reducing aviation emissions.
(2) The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) requires all parties to formulate and implement national and, where appropriate, regional programmes containing measures to mitigate climate change.
(3) The Union is committed to reducing its CO2 emissions, including emissions from aviation. All sectors of the economy should contribute to achieving those emission reductions.
(4) The negotiation of all Union aviation agreements with third countries should be aimed at safeguarding the Union’s flexibility to take action in respect of environmental issues, including with regard to measures to mitigate the impact of aviation on climate change.
(5) Progress has been made in the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) towards the adoption, at the 38th session of the ICAO Assembly which will be held from 24 September to 4 October 2013, of a global framework for emissions reduction policy which facilitates the application of market-based measures to emissions from international aviation, and on the development of a global market-based measure (MBM). Such a framework could make a significant contribution to the reduction of national, regional and global CO2 emissions.
(6) In order to facilitate this progress and provide momentum, it is desirable to defer the enforcement of requirements arising prior to the 38th session of the ICAO Assembly and relating to flights to and from aerodromes in countries outside the Union that are not members of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), dependencies and territories of States in the European Economic Area (EEA) or countries having signed a Treaty of Accession with the Union. Action should therefore not be taken against aircraft operators in respect of the requirements resulting from Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) for the reporting of verified emissions for the calendar years 2010, 2011 and 2012 and for the corresponding surrender of allowances for 2012 from flights to and from such aerodromes. Aircraft operators who wish to continue to comply with those requirements should be able to do so.
(7) In order to avoid distortions of competition, the derogation provided for by this Decision should only apply in respect of aircraft operators that have either not received or have returned all free allowances which have been issued in respect of such activities occurring in 2012. For the same reason, those allowances should not be taken into account for the purposes of calculating entitlements to use international credits within the framework of Directive 2003/87/EC.
(8) 2012 aviation allowances that are not issued to such aircraft operators or are returned should be taken out of circulation by cancellation. The number of aviation allowances that are auctioned should be adjusted as a result of the implementation of this Decision, in order to ensure compliance with Article 3d(1) of Directive 2003/87/EC.
(9) The derogation provided for by this Decision should not affect the environmental integrity and the overarching objective of the Union’s climate change legislation, nor should it result in distortions of competition. Accordingly, and so as to preserve the overarching objective of Directive 2003/87/EC, which forms part of the legal framework for the Union to achieve its independent commitment to reduce its emissions to 20 % below 1990 levels by 2020, that Directive should continue to apply to flights from, or arriving in, aerodromes in the territory of a Member State, to or from aerodromes in certain closely connected or associated areas or countries outside the Union.
(10) The derogation provided for by this Decision relates only to 2012 aviation emissions. The ICAO High Level Group on International Aviation and Climate Change (HGCC) was established to provide guidance on the development of a framework for MBMs, to evaluate the feasibility of options for a global MBM and to identify a set of technological and operational measures. This derogation is provided by the Union to facilitate an agreement at the 38th session of the ICAO Assembly on a realistic timetable for the development of a global MBM beyond the 38th session of the ICAO Assembly and on a framework for facilitating the comprehensive application of national and regional MBMs to international aviation, pending the application of the global MBM. On this basis, with a view to facilitating the optimal interaction between any such outcome and the scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Union, further steps could be considered. In this respect, the Commission should, when assessing the need for further action, also take into account the possible impact on intra-European air traffic with a view to avoiding any distortions of competition.
(11) The Commission should provide a full report to the European Parliament and to the Council on the progress made at the 38th session of the ICAO Assembly and swiftly propose measures in line with the results, as appropriate.
(12) It is essential to ensure legal certainty for aircraft operators and national authorities in view of the surrender deadline of 30 April 2013 as referred to in Directive 2003/87/EC. Accordingly, this Decision should apply from the date of its adoption,
By way of derogation from Article 16 of Directive 2003/87/EC, Member States shall take no action against aircraft operators in respect of the requirements set out in Article 12(2a) and Article 14(3) of that Directive for the calendar years 2010, 2011 and 2012 in respect of activity to and from aerodromes in countries outside the Union that are not members of EFTA, dependencies and territories of States in the EEA or countries having signed a Treaty of Accession with the Union, where such aircraft operators have not been issued free allowances for such activity in respect of 2012 or, if they have been issued such allowances, have returned, by the thirtieth day following the entry into force of this Decision, to Member States for cancellation a number of 2012 aviation allowances corresponding to the share of verified tonne-kilometres of such activity in the reference year 2010.
1. Member States shall cancel all 2012 aviation allowances that have either not been issued or, if issued, have been returned to them, in respect of flights to and from the aerodromes referred to in Article 1.
2. In respect of the cancellation referred to in paragraph 1, Member States shall auction a reduced number of 2012 aviation allowances. That reduction shall be proportional to the lower number of total aviation allowances in circulation. To the extent that the reduced number of those allowances has not been auctioned prior to 1 May 2013, Member States shall adjust accordingly the number of aviation allowances to be auctioned in 2013.
Aviation allowances cancelled pursuant to Article 2 shall not be taken into account for the purposes of calculating entitlements to use international credits within the framework of Directive 2003/87/EC.
The Commission shall issue the guidance necessary for the implementation of this Decision.
The Commission shall regularly inform the European Parliament and the Council on the progress of ICAO negotiations and shall provide a full report to them on the results achieved at the 38th session of the ICAO Assembly.
This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 24 April 2013.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 130a thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 594/91 of 4 March 1991 on substances that deplete the ozone layer (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3952/92 (2),
Whereas, because of concern for the ozone layer, the Commission has decided to phase out certain controlled substances earlier than stated in the Montreal Protocol, commencing on 1 January 1995;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 594/91, as amended states the Commission shall determine any essential uses which may be permitted in the Community after 31 December 1994 and any quantities of controlled substances which may be produced, placed on the market or used for their own account by producers for these purposes;
Whereas those essential uses have to be decided for chlorofluorocarbons, in accordance with Articles 10 (2) and 11 (2), halons, in accordance with Articles 10 (3) and 11 (3) and carbon tetrachloride, in accordance with Articles 10 (4) and 11 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 594/91;
Whereas the criteria applied to assessing essential uses are in line with Decision IV/25 of the Fourth Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol and are:
(a) that a use of a controlled substance should qualify as 'essential' only if:
(i) it is necessary for the health, safety or is critical for the functioning of society (encompassing cultural and intellectual aspects); and
(ii) there are no available technically and economically feasible alternatives or substitutes that are acceptable from the standpoint of enviroment and health;
(b) that production and consumption, if any, of a controlled substance for essential uses should be permitted only if:
(i) all economically feasible steps have been taken to minimize the essential use and associated emission of the controlled substance; and
(ii) the controlled substance is not available in sufficient quantity and quality from existing stocks of banked or recycled controlled substances, also bearing in mind the developing countries' need for controlled substances;
Whereas after receiving a certain number of applications from Member States, the Commission, assisted by the management committee established pursuant to Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 594/91, retained only those limited applications which were considered to meet the essential use criteria in line with the abovementioned Montreal Protocol Decision IV/25;
Whereas the identified essential uses fall into four categories, notably: medical uses, solvent uses, laboratory uses and other uses; whereas the quantitatively most important essential use is the medical use of MDIs for the Treatment of asthma and other chronic obstructive diseases, as endorsed by the UNEP Technology and Economic Assessment Panel (TEAP) in their March 1994 recommendations to the Parties of the Montreal Protocol;
Whereas this Decision has been taken according to the committee procedure set out in Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 594/91, as amended;
Whereas the list of essential uses and the quantities of the controlled substances are hereby given in Annex for the informantion of producer and user industries;
Whereas the quantities of each controlled substance to be produced by each producer shall be presented in a Commission decision at a later stage,
1. The agreed essential uses and the total quantities of chlorofluorocarbons, halons and carbon tetrachloride to be placed on the market or used for their own account by producers in 1995 are presented in the Annex.
2. This Decision shall apply as follows:

| Commission Regulation (EC) No 2068/2002
of 21 November 2002
fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for molasses in the sugar sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sugar(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 of 23 June 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for imports of molasses in the sugar sector and amending Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(3), and in particular Article 1(2) and Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 stipulates that the cif import price for molasses, hereinafter referred to as the "representative price", should be set in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(4). That price should be fixed for the standard quality defined in Article 1 of the above Regulation.
(2) The representative price for molasses is calculated at the frontier crossing point into the Community, in this case Amsterdam; that price must be based on the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market established on the basis of the quotations or prices on that market adjusted for any deviations from the standard quality. The standard quality for molasses is defined in Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(3) When the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market are being established, account must be taken of all available information on offers on the world market, on the prices recorded on important third-country markets and on sales concluded in international trade of which the Commission is aware, either directly or through the Member States. Under Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68, the Commission may for this purpose take an average of several prices as a basis, provided that this average is representative of actual market trends.
(4) The information must be disregarded if the goods concerned are not of sound and fair marketable quality or if the price quoted in the offer relates only to a small quantity that is not representative of the market. Offer prices which can be regarded as not representative of actual market trends must also be disregarded.
(5) If information on molasses of the standard quality is to be comparable, prices must, depending on the quality of the molasses offered, be increased or reduced in the light of the results achieved by applying Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(6) A representative price may be left unchanged by way of exception for a limited period if the offer price which served as a basis for the previous calculation of the representative price is not available to the Commission and if the offer prices which are available and which appear not to be sufficiently representative of actual market trends would entail sudden and considerable changes in the representative price.
(7) Where there is a difference between the trigger price for the product in question and the representative price, additional import duties should be fixed under the conditions set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95. Should the import duties be suspended pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95, specific amounts for these duties should be fixed.
(8) Application of these provisions will have the effect of fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for the products in question as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The representative prices and the additional duties applying to imports of the products referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 are fixed in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 22 November 2002.

Whereas:
(1) The competent authorities of Belgium submitted a request on 18 October 2000, accompanied by appropriate documentation, which was further updated, for the recognition of the system of surveillance networks for bovine holdings implemented in that Member State.
(2) Following a Commission veterinary inspection mission in Belgium and in the light of the situation concerning animal health in this country, the system of surveillance networks for bovine holdings implemented in Belgium has been audited by Commission experts as fully operational, and it is proposed that it should therefore be formally approved.
(3) In order to allow Member States to adapt the rules they apply with regard to trade in bovine animals it appears appropriate to specify the date as of which the recognition shall take effect.
(4) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The system of surveillance networks for bovine holdings provided for under Article 14 of Directive 64/432/EEC implemented by Belgium is hereby recognised as fully operational as of 1 July 2002.

(3) The international community, basing itself upon Resolution 1244(1999), has set up an international security presence (KFOR) and an interim civil administration - the United Nations Interim Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK).
(4) UNMIK consists of four components (Pillars) and the European Union has taken the lead role(2) for the fourth Pillar responsible for economic reconstruction.
(5) UNMIK has taken steps to involve the main political parties and ethnic communities of Kosovo in its activities and is continuing to do so.
(6) UNMIK, and particularly Pillar IV thereof, has achieved substantial progress in setting up an institutional, legal and policy framework conducive to the creation of a sound economy based on market principles. It has provided for a functioning banking and payments system and promoted the development of the private sector. UNMIK has also made progress in developing the revenue base and keeping expenditure under control.
(7) UNMIK established a Central Fiscal Authority providing for transparent and accountable procedures to manage the Kosovo budget.
(8) On the basis of estimates from UNMIK presented in agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Kosovo requires external support to further progress in establishing a sound market economy and a civil administration. It is estimated that exceptional external financial assistance of some EUR 90 million would be needed until the end of 2001.
(9) UNMIK has presented a request for exceptional financial assistance. The international community considers that the provision of external budgetary support, fairly shared among donors, is essential to help cover the residual financing needs identified under the budget prepared for Kosovo by UNMIK.
(10) Kosovo is not in a position to borrow either domestically or on the international financial market and it is not eligible for membership of the international financial institutions and may therefore not benefit from financial assistance associated with their programmes.
(11) Although economic activity has resumed with considerable speed after the conflict, Kosovo is at a low level of economic development and its GDP per capita is estimated to be one of the lowest in the region and in Europe.
(12) Kosovo's current low level of economic development is the result of long-term neglect as well as conflict-related damages which cannot be overcome quickly but require reliable support over a significant period of time so as to establish sustainable institutions and to achieve durable economic growth.
(13) The Community has found it an appropriate measure to help ease Kosovo's financial constraints in the exceptionally difficult circumstances and has already, under Council Decision 2000/140/EC(3) provided for financial assistance in the form of straight grants in 2000 amounting to EUR 35 million.
(14) Financial assistance from the Community, in liaison with other donors, in the form of straight grants to be made available to UNMIK in support of the Kosovo people continues to be the appropriate measure.
(15) Without prejudice to the powers of the budgetary authority, the financial assistance will be part of the envelope of aid envisaged for Kosovo, and therefore subject to the funds being available in the general budget.
(16) The exceptional financial assistance should be managed by the Commission in consultation with the Economic and Financial Committee.
(17) The Treaty does not provide, for the adoption of this Decision, powers other than those of Article 308,
1. In addition to the financial assistance already decided upon by the Council in its Decision 2000/140/EC on 14 February 2000, the Community shall make available to UNMIK, in conjunction with the contributions of the other donors, exceptional financial assistance in the form of straight grants of up to EUR 30 million, with a view to alleviating the financial situation in Kosovo, facilitating the establishment and continuation of essential administrative functions and supporting the development of a sound economic framework.
2. This assistance shall be managed by the Commission in close consultation with the Economic and Financial Committee and in a manner consistent with agreements or understandings reached between the IMF and UNMIK or any other internationally recognised authorities of Kosovo.
1. The Commission is empowered to agree with UNMIK, after consultation with the Economic and Financial Committee, the economic conditions attached to this assistance. These conditions shall be consistent with any agreement referred to in Article 1(2).
2. The Commission shall verify at regular intervals, in consultation with the Economic and Financial Committee and in liaison with the IMF and the World Bank, that economic policies in Kosovo respect the objectives and economic policy conditions of this assistance.
1. The assistance shall be made available to UNMIK in at least two instalments. Subject to the provisions of Article 2, the first instalment shall be released on the basis of a Memorandum of Understanding between UNMIK and the Community.
2. Subject to the provisions of Article 2, the second and any possible further instalment shall be released on the basis of a successful completion of the economic conditions referred to in Article 2(1) and not before three months after the release of the previous instalment.
3. The funds shall be made available to UNMIK through the Central Fiscal Authority exclusively in support of Kosovo's budgetary needs.
All related costs incurred by the Community in concluding and carrying out the operation under this Decision shall be borne by UNMIK if appropriate.
The Commission shall address to the European Parliament and to the Council an annual report, which will include an evaluation on the implementation of this Decision. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 |

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1119/88
of 25 April 1988
opening and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for onions, fresh or chilled, originating in Egypt (1988)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 1 of the Additional Protocol to the Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Arab Republic of Egypt (1) provides, for the period 1 February to 15 May, for a Community tariff quota to be opened for the importation into the Community of 10 000 tonnes of onions, fresh or chilled, falling within CN codes ex 0703 10 11 and ex 0703 10 19 and originating in Egypt; whereas, within the limits of this tariff quota, the customs duty shall progressively be abolished over the same periods and in accordance with the same timetables as those laid down in Articles 75 and 268 of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal; whereas, for 1988, the quota duty shall be equal to 72,7 % of the duty applicable;
Whereas, to take into account the fact that Egypt benefits in the period 1 February to 30 April from a customs duty less than that in Spain and Portugal, this tariff quota should be opened for the period 1 to 15 May; whereas, taking into account the seasonal nature of the imports of these products, the volume of this quota should be fixed at the level of the traditional average imports in this period, that is to say 2 500 tonnes;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2573/87 of 11 August 1987 laying down the arrangements for trade between Spain and Portugal on the one hand and Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia and Turkey on the other (2) lays down that two Member States will postpone implementation of the preferential arrangements for the products in question until 31 December 1989 and 31 December 1990 respectively; whereas, consequently, the above tariff quotas apply only to the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985;
Whereas it is in particular necessary to ensure to all Community importers equal and uninterrupted access to the abovementioned quota and uninterrupted application of the rates laid down for this quota to all imports of the products concerned into all Member States until the quota has been used up; whereas, in the present case, it seems advisable not to allocate this quota among the Member States without prejudice to the drawing against the quota volume of such quantities as they may need, under the conditions and according to the procedure specified in Article 1 (2); whereas this method of management requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must, in particular, be able to monitor the rate at which the quota is used up and inform the Member States thereof;
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, all transactions concerning the administration of shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any of its members,
1. The customs duty applicable to imports into the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 of the following products, originating in Egypt, shall be suspended at the level indicated and within the limits of a Community tariff quota as shown below:
1.2.3.4.5 // // // // // // Order No // CN code // Description // Amount of quota (in tonnes) // Quota duty (%) // // // // // // // // // // // // 0703 // Onions, shallots, garlic, leeks and other alliaceous vegetables, fresh or chilled // // // // 0703 10 // Onions and shallots: // // // // // Onions // // // 09.1703 // ex 0703 10 11 // Seed From 1 to 15 May 1988 // 2 500 // 8,7 // // ex 1987, p. 1.
2. If an importer notifies an imminent importation of the product in question in a Member State and requests the benefit of the quota, the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission and draw an amount corresponding to these requirements to the extent that the available balance of the reserve so permits.
3. The shares drawn pursuant to paragraph 2 shall be valid until the end of the quota period.
1. Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that their drawings pursuant to Article 1 (2) are carried out in such a way that imports may be charged without interruption against their accumulated shares of the Community quota.
2. Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the said goods have access to the quota so long as the residual balance of the quota volume so permits.
3. Member States shall charge imports of the said goods against their drawings as and when the goods are entered for free circulation.
4. The extent to which the quota has been used up shall be determined on the basis of the imports charged in accordance with paragraph 3.
At the request of the Commission, Member States shall inform it of imports actually charged against the quota.
The Member States and the Commission shall collaborate closely in order to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 May 1988.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 July 2002 on the application of international accounting standards (1), and in particular Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Commission Regulation (EC) No 1126/2008 (2) certain international standards and interpretations that were in existence at 15 October 2008 were adopted.
(2) On 15 November 2009, the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) published amendments to IFRIC Interpretation 14 Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement, hereinafter ‘amendments to IFRIC 14’. The aim of the amendments to IFRIC 14 is to remove an unintended consequence of IFRIC 14 in cases where an entity subject to a minimum funding requirement makes an early payment of contributions where under certain circumstances the entity making such a prepayment would be required to recognise an expense. In the case where a defined benefit plan is subject to a minimum funding requirement the amendment to IFRIC 14 prescribes to treat this prepayment, like any other prepayment, as an asset.
(3) The consultation with the Technical Expert Group (TEG) of the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) confirms that amendments to IFRIC 14 meets the technical criteria for adoption set out in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002. In accordance with Commission Decision 2006/505/EC of 14 July 2006 setting up a Standards Advice Review Group to advise the Commission on the objectivity and neutrality of the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group's (EFRAG’s) opinions (3), the Standards Advice Review Group considered EFRAG's opinion on endorsement and advised the Commission that it is well-balanced and objective.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 1126/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Accounting Regulatory Committee,
In the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1126/2008 International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee's (IFRIC) Interpretation 14 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
Each company shall apply the amendments to IFRIC 14, as set out in the Annex to this Regulation, at the latest, as from the commencement date of its first financial year starting after 31 December 2010.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

| COMMISSION DECISION of 13 March 1992 derogating from High Authority recommendation No 1/64 concerning an increase in the protective duty on iron and steel products at the external frontiers of the Community (152th derogation) (92/190/ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular the third paragraph of Article 71 thereof,
Having regard to High Authority recommendation No 1/64 of 15 January 1964 to the Governments of the Member States concerning an increase in the protective duty on iron and steel products at the external frontiers of the Community (1), as last amended by recommendation 88/27/ECSC (2), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas certain iron and steel products indispensable to the manufacture of certain goods and having very special physical and chemical characteristics are not produced in the Community, or produced in insufficient quantities; whereas for a number of years insufficiency has been overcome by duty-free tariff quotas; whereas Community producers are still not in a position to comply with the present quality requirements put forward by the users; whereas duty-free quotas at a level securing the supply of users is consequently required;
Whereas import of these products on preferential terms is not injurious to iron and steel undertakings in the Community which produce directly competing products;
Whereas neither this suspension of duties nor these tariff quotas are likely to jeopardize the objectives of recommendation No 1/64, but will help to maintain existing trade flows between Member States and non-member countries;
Whereas these are special cases in the commercial policy field justifying the authorization of derogations pursuant to Article 3 of recommendation No 1/64;
Whereas provision should be made pursuant to the third paragraph of Article 71 of the ECSC Treaty to ensure that the quotas granted will be used solely to supply the needs of industries in the importing countries and that re-export in the unaltered state to other Member States of the imported iron and steel products will be prevented;
Whereas the Governments of the Member States have been consulted on the tariff quotas set out below,
1. Member States are hereby authorized to derogate from the obligations arising pursuant to Article 1 of High Authority recommendation No 1/64 to the extent necessary to suspend at the levels indicated the customs duties on the products set out below, within tariff quotas of the amounts indicated for the Member States concerned:

typical maximum value figure 2 beyond two-thirds of the radius to the core.
The values indicated are valid for any type of inclusion.
1. Member States accorded quotas pursuant to Article 1 shall ensure, in liaison with the Commission, that such quotas are apportioned among third countries on a non-discriminatory basis.
2. They shall take all necessary steps to preclude the possibility of iron and steel products imported under the said tariff quotas being re-consigned to other Member States in the unaltered state.
3. Community provisions on the matter shall apply for the purpose of verifying that the products in question are used for the particular purpose prescribed.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
It shall apply from 1 January 1992 until 31 December 1992. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1808/95 of 24 July 1995 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas bound in GATT for certain industrial, agricultural and fisheries products and establishing the detailed provisions for amending these quotas (1), and in particular Articles 9 and 10 thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 1808/95 opens Community tariff quotas in respect of a number of agricultural, industrial and fisheries products under GATT;
Whereas following the accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden the Community entered into negotiations under Article XXIV (6) of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT); whereas under Council Regulation (EC) No 3093/95 (2), and in particular Article 4 (3) thereof, the Community undertook to open reduced or zero-duty Community tariff quotas for a number of fisheries products and to increase the volume of the quota for plywood, with effect from 1 January 1996; whereas it is accordingly necessary to amend Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1808/95 by inserting the products mentioned in the Annex to this Regulation and changing the volume for Order No 09.0013 to that specified in the Annex to this Regulation;
Whereas it is necessary to ensure that all Community importers have equal and continuous access to the said quotas and that the rates of duty laid down for the quotas are applied consistently to all imports of the products in question into all Member States until the quotas are exhausted;
Whereas it is the responsibility of the Community to open tariff quotas giving effect to its international obligations; whereas in the interests of the efficient common administration of such quotas, however, the Member States may be authorized to draw from the quota volumes the quantities necessary to cover actual imports; whereas this method of administration does nevertheless require close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission, which must be able to monitor the rate at which the quotas are used up and inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
1. The tariff quotas listed in the Annex to this Regulation under Order Nos 09.0045, 09.0046, 09.0047 and 09.0048 shall be added to Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1808/95.
2. The tariff quota under Order Nos 09.0013 in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1808/95 shall be replaced by the quota in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/493/EEC of 22 July 1991 laying down the health conditions for the production and the placing on the market of fishery products(1), as last amended by the Directive 97/79/EC(2), and in particular Article 11 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) A Commission expert has conducted an inspection visit to Namibia to verify the conditions under which fishery products are produced, stored and dispatched to the Community.
(2) The provisions of legislation of Namibia on health inspection and monitoring of fishery products may be considered equivalent to those laid down in Directive 91/493/EEC.
(3) In Namibia the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) is capable of effectively verifying the application of the laws in force.
(4) By an Agreement between the Republic of Namibia and the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS), the SABS is appointed as technical body and the MTI has, under its final responsibility, transferred to the SABS the inspection and monitoring of the establishments and vessels and the issuance of the health certificates.
(5) The procedure for obtaining the health certificate referred to in Article 11(4)(a) of Directive 91/493/EEC must also cover the definition of a model certificate, the minimum requirements regarding the language(s) in which it must be drafted and the grade of the person empowered to sign it.
(6) Pursuant to Article 11(4)(b) of Directive 91/493/EEC, a mark should be affixed to packages of fishery products giving the name of the third country and the approval/registration number of the establishment, factory vessel, cold store or freezer vessel of origin.
(7) Pursuant to article 11(4)(c) of Directive 91/493/EEC a list of approved establishments, factory vessels, or cold stores must be drawn up, and a list of freezer vessels equipped in accordance with points 1 to 7 of Annex II to the Directive 92/48/EEC(3) must be also drawn up. These lists must be drawn up on the basis of a communication from the MTI to the Commission. It is therefore for the MTI to ensure compliance with the provisions laid down to that end in Article 11(4) of Directive 91/493/EEC.
(8) The MTI has provided official assurances regarding compliance with the rules set out in Chapter V of the Annex to Directive 91/493/EEC and regarding the fulfilment of requirements equivalent to those laid down by that Directive.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
1. The Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) shall be the competent authority in Namibia for verifying the compliance of fishery and aquaculture products with the requirements of Directive 91/493/EEC.
2. The South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) shall be the technical body, empowered by the MTI, for inspection and certification of the compliance of fishery and aquaculture products with the requirements of Directive 91/493/EC.
Fishery and aquaculture products originating in Namibia must meet the following conditions:
1. each consignment must be accompanied by a numbered original health certificate, duly completed, signed, dated and comprising a single sheet in accordance with the model in Annex A hereto;
2. the products must come from approved establishments, factory vessels, cold stores or registered freezer vessels listed in Annex B hereto;
3. except in the case of frozen fishery products in bulk and intended for the manufacture of preserved foods, all packages must bear the word "NAMIBIA" and the approval/registration number of the establishment, factory vessel, cold store or freezer vessel of origin in indelible letters.
1. Certificates as referred to in Article 2(1) must be drawn up in at least one official language of the Member State where the checks are carried out.
2. Certificates must bear the name, capacity and signature of the representative of the SABS and the latter's official stamp in a colour different from that of other endorsements.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2161/2004
of 16 December 2004
fixing the rates of the refunds applicable to certain cereal and rice products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 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(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provide that the difference between quotations of prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of each of those Regulations and the prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common implementing rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (3), specifies the products for which a rate of refund should be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 as appropriate.
(3) In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question must be fixed for each month.
(4) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(5) Taking into account the settlement between the European Community and the United States of America on Community exports of pasta products to the United States, approved by Council Decision 87/482/EEC (4), it is necessary to differentiate the refund on goods falling within CN codes 1902 11 00 and 1902 19 according to their destination.
(6) Pursuant to Article 4(3) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, a reduced rate of export refund has to be fixed, taking account of the amount of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93 (5), for the basic product in question, used during the assumed period of manufacture of the goods.
(7) Spirituous beverages are considered less sensitive to the price of the cereals used in their manufacture. However, Protocol 19 to the Act of Accession of the United Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark provides that the necessary measures must be decided to facilitate the use of Community cereals in the manufacture of spirituous beverages obtained from cereals. Accordingly, it is necessary to adapt the refund rate applying to cereals exported in the form of spirituous beverages.
(8) In accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 1676/2004 of 24 September 2004 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Bulgaria and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Bulgaria (6) with the effect from 1 October 2004, processed agricultural products not listed in Annex I to the Treaty which are exported to Bulgaria are not eligible for the export refunds.
(9) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 and in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003, exported in the form of goods listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 respectively, are fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
By way of derogation from Article 1 and with effect from 1 October 2004, the rates set out in the Annex shall not be applicable to goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty when exported to Bulgaria.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 17 December 2004.

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 1 July 1983, Denmark 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 'MTS - Servo Hydraulic Wavemaker System consisting of: Waveboard Assembly, Waveboard Steel Reaction Frame, Wiper Seal Liner Subsystem, Waveboard Bearing Assemblies, Seal System, Static Actuators with Hydraulic Cushion, Dynamic Actuators, Analog Control System, Hydraulic Distribution System, Drain Water System', ordered on 6 March 1981 and intended to be used for the study of the bulb-shaped stem in waves, the stability of ships in waves and the power of waves, 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 15 December 1983 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a control system; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the great precision at the production of waves, 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, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of equivalent scientific value capable of use for the same purpose is not currently manufactured in the Community; whereas, therefore, duty-free admission of this apparatus is justified,
The apparatus described as 'MTS - Servo Hydraulic Wavemaker System consisting of: Waveboard Assembly, Waveboard Steel Reaction Frame, Wiper Seal Liner Subsystem, Waveboard Bearing Assemblies, Seal System, Static Actuators with Hydraulic Cushion, Dynamic Actuators, Analog Control System, Hydraulic Distribution System, Drain Water System', which is the subject of an application by Denmark of 1 July 1983, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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 the preparation set out in the Annex to this Regulation. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of that Regulation.
(3) The application concerns authorisation of the substance monensin sodium (Coxidin) as a feed additive for chickens for fattening and turkeys, to be classified in the additive category ‘occidiostats and histomonostats’.
(4) The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinion of 20 October 2005 that monensin sodium (Coxidin) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment (2). The Authority further concluded that monensin sodium (Coxidin) does not present any other risk which would, in accordance with Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, exclude authorisation. According to that opinion, the use of that product may be effectively used to prevent coccidiosis. This opinion also verified the report on the method of analysis of that feed additive in feed submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. The Authority concluded that it was necessary to establish maximum residue limits (MRLs). However, it was unable to propose MRLs since the applicant had not provided the data required. After receiving those data the Authority adopted an opinion proposing provisional MRLs on 21 November 2006 (3). It may be necessary to review the MRLs set out in the Annex to this Regulation in the light of the results of a future evaluation of the active substance concerned by the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products.
(5) The assessment of that preparation shows that the conditions for authorisation, provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised, as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The substance, specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘coccidiostats and histomonostats’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 2001/33/EC of 19 December 2000 on the signing of an Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and Ukraine concerning the extension and amendment of the Agreement between the European Economic Community and Ukraine on trade in textile products initialled on 5 May 1993, as last amended by the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters initialled on 15 October 1999 and authorising its provisional application(1), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Agreement between the European Community and Ukraine on trade on textile products(2), as last amended by an agreement between the parties implemented by Commission Regulation (EC) No 475/2002(3), stipulates in Article 2(1) that at the latest six weeks before the end of every Agreement year the Commission and Ukraine shall hold consultations on the necessity of maintaining the categories listed in Annex III to the Agreement under double checking, with a view to the possible suspension of categories from double-checking.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 14 June 2007
setting up the High Level Group on the Competitiveness of the Chemicals Industry in the European Union
(2007/418/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Whereas:
(1) Article 157(1) of the Treaty assigned the Community and the Member States the task of ensuring that the conditions necessary for the competitiveness of the Community’s industry exist. Article 157(2) in particular calls upon the Member States to consult each other in liaison with the Commission and, where necessary, to coordinate their actions. The Commission may take any useful initiative to promote such coordination.
(2) In its Communication ‘Implementing the Community Lisbon Programme: a policy framework to strengthen EU manufacturing — Towards a more integrated approach for industrial policy’ (1), the Commission announced the intention to set up a High Level Group concerned with the competitiveness of the European chemicals industry.
(3) It is therefore necessary to set up a group of experts in the field of competitiveness of the EU chemicals industry and to define its tasks and structure.
(4) The primary task of the group should be to conduct economic and statistical analysis of the factors determining the rapid structural changes in the chemicals sector, as well as other factors that influence the competitive position of the European chemicals industry. Based on this analysis the group should formulate a set of sector-specific policy recommendations with a view to enhancing the competitiveness of the chemicals industry in accordance with the objective of sustainable development. Given that Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) concerning REACH enters into force only on 1 June 2007 and its main operational provisions will apply only 12 months later, it would not be appropriate that matters directly related to REACH should be examined.
(5) The group should be composed of representatives of the Commission, the Member States, the European Parliament and relevant stakeholders notably from the chemicals industry and downstream users, as well as civil society, to be drawn, inter alia, from representatives of consumers, trade unions, non-governmental organisations and research/academia.
(6) Rules on disclosure of information by members of the group should be provided for, without prejudice to the Commission’s rules on security as set out in the Annex to Commission Decision 2001/844/EC, ECSC, Euratom (3).
(7) Personal data relating to members of the group should be processed in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (4).
(8) It is appropriate to fix a period for the application of this Decision. The Commission will in due time consider the advisability of an extension,

Whereas, by virtue of Article 28 of Protocol 3 concerning the definition of the concept of originating products and methods of administrative cooperation, which forms an integral part of the above Agreement, the Joint Committee has adopted Decision N° 1/89 amending Protocol 3;
Whereas the Joint Declaration annexed to Decision N° 1/88 of the EEC-Norway Joint Committee implemented in the Community by Regulation (EEC) N° 1958/88 (1) provides, under certain conditions, for a review of the changes made to the rules of origin following the introduction of the Harmonized System; whereas, by virtue of that Joint Declaration, the Joint Committee must take a decision within a period of three months of a request being made to it by either of the parties to the Agreement;

Whereas for the purposes of the Decisions to be taken by the Joint Committee, a common position has to be reached by the Community; whereas it is then necessary to make these Decisions applicable in the Community;
Whereas this decision-making process makes it impossible to comply with the three-month time limit laid down in the Joint Declaration; whereas the procedure should therefore be speeded up and the Community's common position should be adopted by the Commission according to the procedure set out in Article 14 of Council Regulation (EEC) N° 802/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common definition of the concept of

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2), and in particular Article 7(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, production refunds may be granted on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) and (f) of that Regulation, on syrups listed in Article 1(1)(d) thereof and on chemically pure fructose covered by CN code 1702 50 00 as an intermediate product, that are in one of the situations referred to in Article 23(2) of the Treaty and are used in the manufacture of certain products of the chemical industry.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards granting the production refund on certain sugar products used in the chemical industry(3) lays down the rules for determining the production refunds and specifies the chemical products the basic products used in the manufacture of which attract a production refund. Articles 5, 6 and 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provide that the production refund applying to raw sugar, sucrose syrups and unprocessed isoglucose is to be derived from the refund fixed for white sugar in accordance with a method of calculation specific to each basic product.
(3) Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provides that the production refund on white sugar is to be fixed at monthly intervals commencing on the first day of each month. It may be adjusted in the intervening period where there is a significant change in the prices for sugar on the Community and/or world markets. The application of those provisions results in the production refund fixed in Article 1 of this Regulation for the period shown.
(4) As a result of the amendment to the definition of white sugar and raw sugar in Article 1(2)(a) and (b) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, flavoured or coloured sugars or sugars containing any other added substances are no longer deemed to meet those definitions and should thus be regarded as "other sugar". However, in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001, they attract the production refund as basic products. A method should accordingly be laid down for calculating the production refund on these products by reference to their sucrose content.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The production refund on white sugar referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 shall be equal to 45,510 EUR/100 kg net.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 November 2003.

fixing the export refunds on poultrymeat
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 164(2) and Article 170, in conjunction with Article 4, thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 162(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products referred to in Part XX of Annex I to that Regulation and prices in the Union for those products may be covered by an export refund.
(2) In view of the current situation on the market in poultrymeat, export refunds should be fixed in accordance with the rules and criteria provided for in Articles 162, 163, 164, 167 and 169 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
(3) Article 164(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that refunds may vary according to destination, especially where the world market situation, the specific requirements of certain markets, or obligations resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty make this necessary.
(4) Refunds should be granted only on products which are authorised to move freely in the Union and bear the identification mark provided for in Article 5(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (2). Those products should also comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (3).
(5) The currently applicable refunds have been fixed by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 360/2013 (4). Since new refunds should be fixed, that Regulation should therefore be repealed.
(6) In order to prevent divergence with the current market situation, to prevent market speculation and to ensure efficient management this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(7) The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chair,

approving the active substance Candida oleophila strain O, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market, and amending the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
(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 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 13(2) and Article 78(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, Council Directive 91/414/EEC (2) is to apply, with respect to the procedure and the conditions for approval, to active substances for which a decision has been adopted in accordance with Article 6(3) of that Directive before 14 June 2011. For Candida oleophila strain O the conditions of Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are fulfilled by Commission Decision 2007/380/EC (3).
(2) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the United Kingdom received on 12 July 2006 an application from Bionext sprl for the inclusion of the active substance Candida oleophila strain O in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Decision 2007/380/EC confirmed that the dossier was ‘complete’ in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(3) For that active substance, the effects on human and animal health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant. The designated rapporteur Member State submitted a draft assessment report on 15 November 2011.
(4) The draft assessment report was reviewed by the Member States and the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’). The Authority presented to the Commission its conclusion on the review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance Candida oleophila strain O (4) on 24 October 2012. The draft assessment report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and the draft assessment report was finalised on 15 March 2013 in the format of the Commission review report for Candida oleophila strain O.
(5) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing Candida oleophila strain O may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) and Article 5(3) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve Candida oleophila strain O.
(6) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before approval in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the approval.
(7) Without prejudice to the obligations provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as a consequence of approval, taking into account the specific situation created by the transition from Directive 91/414/EEC to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the following should, however, apply. Member States should be allowed a period of six months after approval to review authorisations of plant protection products containing Candida oleophila strain O. Member States should, as appropriate, vary, replace or withdraw authorisations. By way of derogation from that deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the update of the complete Annex III dossier, as set out in Directive 91/414/EEC, of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles.
(8) The experience gained from inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8 (2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (5) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the Directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I to that Directive or the Regulations approving active substances.
(9) In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 of 25 May 2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the list of approved active substances (6) should be amended accordingly.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Approval of active substance
The active substance Candida oleophila strain O, as specified in Annex I, is approved subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Re-evaluation of plant protection products
1. Member States shall in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing Candida oleophila strain O as an active substance by 31 March 2014.
By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to this Regulation are met, with the exception of those identified in the column on specific provisions of that Annex, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to Directive 91/414/EEC in accordance with the conditions of Article 13(1) to (4) of that Directive and Article 62 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing Candida oleophila strain O as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances, all of which were listed in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 by 30 September 2013 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles, as referred to in Article 29(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to Directive 91/414/EEC and taking into account the column on specific provisions of Annex I to this Regulation. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
Following that determination Member States shall:
(a) in the case of a product containing Candida oleophila strain O as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 March 2015 at the latest; or
(b) in the case of a product containing Candida oleophila strain O as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 March 2015 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective act or acts which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC or approved that substance or those substances, whichever is the latest.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2894/94 of 28 November 1994 concerning arrangements for implementing the Agreement on the European Economic Area (1), and in particular Article 1(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The Agreement on the European Economic Area (2) (‘the EEA Agreement’) entered into force on 1 January 1994.
(2) Pursuant to Article 98 of the EEA Agreement, the EEA Joint Committee may decide to amend, inter alia, Protocol 31 thereto.
(3) Protocol 31 to the EEA Agreement contains provisions and arrangements concerning cooperation in specific fields outside the four freedoms.
(4) It is appropriate to extend the cooperation of the Contracting Parties to the EEA Agreement to include cooperation concerning the free movement of workers, the coordination of social security systems and measures for migrants, including migrants from third countries.
(5) Protocol 31 to the EEA Agreement should therefore be amended accordingly in order to allow for this extended cooperation to take place from 1 January 2014.
(6) The position of the Union within the EEA Joint Committee should be based on the attached draft Decision,
The position to be adopted, on behalf of the European Union, within the EEA Joint Committee on the proposed amendment to Protocol 31 to the EEA Agreement, on cooperation in specific fields outside the four freedoms shall be based on the draft Decision of the EEA Joint Committee attached to this Decision.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 170 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (2) establishes an agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds on the basis of the Combined Nomenclature.
(2) The refund nomenclature provides for cheeses to be eligible for an export refund if they meet minimum requirements as regards milk dry matter and milk fat. A particular type of cheese produced in some new Member States meets those necessary requirements but does not benefit from a refund since it is not covered by the present classification system of the export refund nomenclature. Given the importance of the particular cheese for the dairy industry, it is appropriate to add the product codes enabling that cheese to be classified under the export refund nomenclature.
(3) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1187/2009 of 27 November 2009 laying down special detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as regards export licences and export refunds for milk and milk products (3) has repealed Regulation (EC) No 1282/2006 of 17 august 2006 laying down special detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards export licences and export refunds for milk and milk products (4). The references made in footnotes 4 and 14 of Sector 9 of Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 should therefore be updated.
(4) Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

(3) It must be ensured that, when such adjustment is to be made, the barley malt exported during the first three months of the marketing year was in stock at the end of the preceding marketing year or was made from barley in stock at that time; whereas the quantities of barley and malt in stock at the end of the marketing year in question must therefore be ascertained. The competent authorities of each Member State should be responsible for ascertaining such quantities and for taking all necessary steps to ensure compliance with the Community provisions concerning the adjustment of export refunds on malt exported during the period under consideration.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Cereal Management Committee,

2. For the purpose of determining the day of export, the relevant date shall be that on which customs formalities as referred to in Article 24(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 (4) are completed.
1. To qualify for the adjustment of the export refund on barley malt under Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 the exporter must:
(a) if the malt was made from barley in stock at the end of the marketing year, supply the competent authority of the Member State responsible for paying the refund with documents certifying:

Such declaration shall at least include the items specified in Annex I hereto.
2. If the conditions laid down in paragraph 1 have been fulfilled and on application by the interested party, the competent authority shall issue one or more certificates stating that the products exported were actually in stock at the end of the previous marketing year and therefore qualify for the adjustment of the refund in accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003.
Certificates may be issued only in respect of a quantity not exceeding that declared in accordance with paragraph 1. At the request of the party concerned, a previously issued certificate may be exchanged for two or more certificates in respect of part quantities.
1. The competent authority of each Member State shall:
(a) carry out the necessary checks of stocks and of their movements within its territory;
(b) adopt all necessary additional measures to take account of the special conditions within its territory and in particular of the periods during which stocks and their movements are to be subject to checks.
2. Member States shall send to the Commission not later than 31 December of the year in question a written report on the operation of this Regulation, indicating the quantities of barley and malt in stock at the end of the marketing year and the quantities of malt exported under this Regulation.
3. In each Member State the competent authority shall be the intervention agency or such other body as the Member State shall designate.
Regulation (EEC) No 1680/78 is repealed.
References to the repealed Regulation shall be construed as references to this Regulation and shall be read in accordance with the correlation table in Annex III.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC (1), and in particular Article 18(7) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (2), and in particular Article 22(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2000/666/EC of 16 October 2000 laying down the animal health requirements and the veterinary certification for the import of birds, other than poultry and the conditions for quarantine (3) provides that Member States are to authorise the import of birds from third countries listed as members of the Office International des Epizooties (OIE) and that those birds are to be subjected to quarantine and testing upon entry into the Community.
(2) The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) has confirmed an outbreak of avian influenza on its territory. North Korea is a member of the OIE and accordingly Member States are to accept imports of such birds from that country under Decision 2000/666/EC. Taking into account the potential serious consequences related to the specific avian influenza virus strain involved in the rest of Asia, the importation of those birds from North Korea should be suspended as a precautionary measure.
(3) Under Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 October 2002 laying down health rules concerning animal by-products not intended for human consumption (4), the importation of unprocessed feathers and parts of feathers originating in North Korea is authorised. In view of the current disease situation in North Korea those imports should be suspended.
(4) Commission Decision 2004/122/EC of 6 February 2004 concerning certain protection measures in relation to avian influenza in several Asian countries (5) was adopted in response to outbreaks of avian influenza in several Asian countries. Article 4 of that Decision provides that Member States are to suspend the importation from certain third countries of unprocessed feathers and parts of feathers and live birds other than poultry, as defined in Decision 2000/666/EC. In the interests of animal and public health, North Korea should be added to the third countries referred to in Article 4 of Decision 2004/122/EC.
(5) Decision 2004/122/EC should be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee of the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Article 4(1) of Decision 2004/122/EC is replaced by the following text:
‘1. Member States shall suspend the importation from Cambodia, China including Hong Kong, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, North Korea, Pakistan, Thailand and Vietnam of:
— unprocessed feathers and parts of feathers, and
— “live birds other than poultry” as defined in Decision 2000/666/EC, including birds accompanying their owners (pet birds).’
The Member States shall amend the measures they apply to imports so as to bring them into compliance with this Decision and they shall give immediate appropriate publicity to the measures adopted. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
31982D0584 | 82/584/EEC: Commission Decision of 6 August 1982 establishing that the apparatus described as 'Summagraphics - Digitalizer, model ID-17' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
| COMMISSION DECISION
of 6 August 1982
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Summagraphics - Digitalizer, model ID-17' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(82/584/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1), as 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 16 February 1982, the Federal Republic of Germany 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 'Summagraphics - Digitalizer, model ID-17', ordered on 18 March 1980 and to be used for the study of the magnetic characteristics of solids at low temperatures, 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 8 June 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 numeric converter; whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,
The apparatus described as 'Summagraphics - Digitalizer, model ID-17', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 16 February 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

(2) Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1759/98(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1144/1999(6), opened a standing invitation to tender for the export of 889230 tonnes of barley held by the United Kingdom intervention agency; whereas the United Kingdom informed the Commission of the intention of its intervention agency to increase by 202300 tonnes the quantity for which a standing invitation to tender for export has been opened; whereas the total quantity of barley held by the United Kingdom intervention agency for which a standing invitation to tender for export has been opened should be increased to 1091530 tonnes;
(3) Whereas this increase in the quantity put out to tender makes it necessary to alter the list of regions and quantities in store; whereas Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1759/98 must therefore be amended;

Applications for access
1. Applications for access to Agency documents which are not publicly available shall be made in written form, and shall be sent to the Agency by electronic mail ([email protected]), by post (European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, Documentation, Gran Via, 33, E-48009 Bilbao) or by fax ((34) 944 79 43 83). The Agency shall answer initial and confirmatory access applications within 15 working days from the date of registration of the application. In the case of complex or bulky applications, the deadline may be extended by 15 working days. Reasons must be given for any extension of the deadline and it must be notified to the applicant beforehand.

6. If the Agency intends to give access to a document against the explicit opinion of the author, it shall inform the author of its intention to disclose the document after a ten-working day period and shall draw his/her attention to the remedies available to him/her to oppose disclosure.
Exercise of the right of access
1. Documents shall be sent by mail, fax or, if available, by e-mail. If documents are voluminous or difficult to handle, the applicant may be invited to consult the documents on the spot. This consultation shall be free.

(notified under document C(2011) 770)
(Only the Italian and Romanian texts are authentic)
(2011/105/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 of 21 June 2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (1), and in particular Articles 30 and 32(8) thereof,
After consulting the Committee on the Agricultural Funds,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decisions 2010/258/EU (2) and 2010/730/EU (3) cleared, for the 2009 financial year, the accounts of all the paying agencies except for the Italian paying agencies ‘AGEA’ and ‘ARBEA’, and the Romanian paying agency ‘PIAA’.
(2) Following the transmission of new information and after additional checks, the Commission can now take a decision on the integrality, accuracy and veracity of the accounts submitted by the Italian paying agencies ‘AGEA’ and ‘ARBEA’, and the Romanian paying agency ‘PIAA’.
(3) The first subparagraph of Article 10(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 885/2006 of 21 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 as regards the accreditation of paying agencies and other bodies and the clearance of the accounts of the EAGF and of the EAFRD (4) lays down that the amounts that are recoverable from, or payable to, each Member State, in accordance with the accounts clearance decision referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 10(1) of the said Regulation, shall be determined by deducting the monthly payments in respect of the financial year in question, i.e. 2009, from expenditure recognised for that year in accordance with paragraph 1. The Commission shall deduct that amount from or add it to the monthly payment relating to the expenditure effected in the second month following that in which the accounts clearance decision is taken.
(4) Pursuant to Article 32(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, 50 % of the financial consequences of non-recovery of irregularities shall be borne by the Member State concerned and 50 % by the EU budget if the recovery of those irregularities has not taken place within 4 years of the primary administrative or judicial finding, or within 8 years if the recovery is taken to the national courts. Article 32(3) of the said Regulation obliges Member States to submit to the Commission, together with the annual accounts, a summary report on the recovery procedures undertaken in response to irregularities. Detailed rules on the application of the Member States’ reporting obligation of the amounts to be recovered are laid down in Regulation (EC) No 885/2006. Annex III to the said Regulation provides the model table that had to be provided in 2010 by the Member States. On the basis of the tables completed by the Member States, the Commission should decide on the financial consequences of non-recovery of irregularities older than 4 or 8 years respectively. This decision is without prejudice to future conformity decisions pursuant to Article 32(8) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005.
(5) Pursuant to Article 32(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, Member States may decide not to pursue recovery. Such a decision may only be taken if the costs already and likely to be incurred total more than the amount to be recovered or if the recovery proves impossible owing to the insolvency, recorded and recognised under national law, of the debtor or the persons legally responsible for the irregularity. If that decision has been taken within 4 years of the primary administrative or judicial finding or within 8 years if the recovery is taken to the national courts, 100 % of the financial consequences of the non-recovery should be borne by the EU budget. In the summary report referred to in Article 32(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 the amounts for which the Member State decided not to pursue recovery and the grounds for the decision are shown. These amounts are not charged to the Member States concerned and are consequently to be borne by the EU budget. This decision is without prejudice to future conformity decisions pursuant to Article 32(8) of the said Regulation.
(6) In clearing the accounts of the paying agencies concerned, the Commission must take account of the amounts already withheld from the Member States concerned on the basis of Decisions 2010/258/EU and 2010/730/EU.
(7) In accordance with Article 30(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, this Decision does not prejudice decisions taken subsequently by the Commission excluding from EU financing expenditure not effected in accordance with EU rules,
The accounts of the Italian paying agencies ‘AGEA’ and ‘ARBEA’, and the Romanian paying agency ‘PIAA’ concerning expenditure financed by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF), in respect of the 2009 financial year, are hereby cleared.
The amounts which are recoverable from, or payable to, each Member State concerned pursuant to this Decision, including those resulting from the application of Article 32(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, are set out in the Annex.
This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic and Romania. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common implementing rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (3), specifies the products for which a rate of refund should be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 as appropriate.
(3) In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question must be fixed for each month.
(4) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(5) Taking into account the settlement between the European Community and the United States of America on Community exports of pasta products to the United States, approved by Council Decision 87/482/EEC (4), it is necessary to differentiate the refund on goods falling within CN codes 1902 11 00 and 1902 19 according to their destination.
(6) Pursuant to Article 4(3) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, a reduced rate of export refund has to be fixed, taking account of the amount of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93 (5), for the basic product in question, used during the assumed period of manufacture of the goods.
(7) Spirituous beverages are considered less sensitive to the price of the cereals used in their manufacture. However, Protocol 19 to the Act of Accession of the United Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark provides that the necessary measures must be decided to facilitate the use of Community cereals in the manufacture of spirituous beverages obtained from cereals. Accordingly, it is necessary to adapt the refund rate applying to cereals exported in the form of spirituous beverages.
(8) In accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 1676/2004 of 24 September 2004 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Bulgaria and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Bulgaria (6) with the effect from 1 October 2004, processed agricultural products not listed in Annex I to the Treaty which are exported to Bulgaria are not eligible for the export refunds.
(9) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 and in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003, exported in the form of goods listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 respectively, are fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
By way of derogation from Article 1 and with effect from 1 October 2004, the rates set out in the Annex shall not be applicable to goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty when exported to Bulgaria.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 26 November 2004.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the recommendation from the Commission,
Whereas, under the voluntary restraint Agreement concluded with the European Economic Community on mutton, lamb and goatmeat (1). New Zealand undertook, in an Exchange of Letters (2), to limit the amount of its exports to certain Community markets considered to be sensitive areas; whereas, however, this undertaking provides that the quantities for 1987 and 1988 be fixed by 1 August 1986;
Whereas the Commission has conducted negotiations to that end with New Zealand and whereas these negotiations resulted in the initialling of an Exchange of Letters with that country,
1. The second Exchange of Letters complementing the Agreement between the European Economic Community and New Zealand on trade in mutton, lamb and goatmeat and comprising an understanding relevant to the first subparagraph of clause 2 of that Agreement is hereby approved on behalf of the Community.
2. The text of the Exchange of Letters is attached to this Decision.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 of 29 September 2003 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers and amending Regulations (EEC) No 2019/93, (EC) No 1452/2001, (EC) No 1453/2001, (EC) No 1454/2001, (EC) 1868/94, (EC) No 1251/1999, (EC) No 1254/1999, (EC) No 1673/2000, (EEC) No 2358/71 and (EC) No 2529/2001 (1), and in particular point (iii) of the first indent of the second paragraph of Article 110 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1973/2004 of 29 October 2004 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 as regards the support schemes provided for in Titles IV and IVa of that Regulation and the use of land set aside for the production of raw materials (2), provides, inter alia, for the conditions for the area payments for flax grown for fibre.
(2) According to Article 56(1)(b)(i) of Regulation (EC) No 1973/2004, the use of seed varieties listed in Annex V to that Regulation is a condition for receiving area payments for flax grown for fibre. However, in the framework for coupled payments established by Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003, this eligibility condition is not justified because the amount per hectare for coupled payments for flax and for other arable crops is the same. In the decoupled system there is no provision which refers to the variety list for flax. With a view to simplification, it is therefore appropriate to repeal this condition.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 1973/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) Since Regulation (EC) No 1973/2004 applies to aid applications relating to marketing years starting from 1 January 2005, this Regulation should apply from that date.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Direct Payments,
Regulation (EC) No 1973/2004 is amended as follows:
1. in Article 56(1)(b), point (i) is deleted;
2. Annex V is deleted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply to aid applications relating to marketing years starting from 1 January 2005.
