Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Decision 2003/299/EC, the Community has undertaken to establish for each marketing year import tariff quotas at a zero rate of duty for wheat and meslin and maize originating in the Slovak Republic.
(2) To ensure that imports of wheat and maize covered by these tariff quotas are orderly and not speculative, they should be made subject to the issue of import licences. The licences should be issued, within the quantities set, at the request of the interested parties, subject, where appropriate, to the fixing of a reduction coefficient in respect of the quantities applied for.
(3) To ensure the proper management of these quotas, deadlines for the lodging of licence applications should be laid down and the information to be included in the applications and licences should be specified.
(4) To take account of delivery conditions, the import licences should be valid from the day of their issue until the end of the month following that in which they are issued.
(5) With a view to the sound management of the quotas, provision should be made to derogate from Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 of 9 June 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products(2), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 325/2003(3), as regards the transferable nature of the licences and the tolerance relating to the quantities released into free circulation.
(6) To ensure sound management of the quotas, the security on the import licences should be set at a relatively high level, by way of derogation from Article 10 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 of 23 May 1995 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 498/2003(5).

3.

(2003/299/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133, in conjunction with Article 300(2), first subparagraph, first sentence thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The Europe Agreement establishing an Association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Slovak Republic, of the other part(1) (hereinafter referred to as "the Europe Agreement"), provides for certain reciprocal trade concessions for certain agricultural products.
(2) Article 21(5) of the Europe Agreement provides that the Community and the Slovak Republic are to examine product by product and on an orderly and reciprocal basis the possibilities of granting each other further concessions.
(3) The first improvements to the preferential arrangements of the Europe Agreement were provided for in the Protocol adjusting trade aspects of the Europe Agreement to take account of the accession of the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden to the European Union and the outcome of the Uruguay Round negotiations on agriculture, including improvements to the existing preferential arrangements, approved by Decision 98/638/EC(2).
(4) Improvements to the preferential arrangements were also provided for as a result of negotiations to liberalise agricultural trade concluded in 2000. On the Community side, these were implemented from 1 July 2000 by Regulation (EC) No 2434/2000 of 17 October 2000 establishing certain concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products and providing for an adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure, of certain agricultural concessions provided for in the Europe Agreement with the Slovak Republic(3). This second adjustment of the preferential arrangements has not yet been incorporated in the Europe Agreement in the form of an Additional Protocol.
(5) Negotiations for further improvements to the preferential arrangements of the Europe Agreement were concluded on 3 May 2000 and on 25 June 2002.
(6) The new Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement adjusting the trade aspects of the Europe Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Slovak Republic, of the other part (hereinafter referred to as "the Protocol") should be approved with a view to consolidating all concessions in agricultural trade between the two sides, including the results of the negotiations concluded in 2000 and 2002.
(7) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code(4) has codified the management rules for tariff quotas designed to be used following the chronological order of dates of customs declarations. Certain tariff quotas under this Decision should therefore be administered in accordance with those rules.
(8) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Decision should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission(5).
(9) As a result of the aforementioned negotiations, Regulation (EC) No 2434/2000 has effectively lost its substance and should therefore be repealed,
The Protocol adjusting the trade aspects of the Europe Agreement establishing an Association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Slovak Republic, of the other part, to take account of the outcome of negotiations between the parties on new mutual agricultural concessions, is hereby approved on behalf of the Community.
The President of the Council is hereby authorised to designate the person empowered to sign the Protocol on behalf of the Community and give the notification of approval provided for in Article 3 of the Protocol.
1. Upon this Decision taking effect, the arrangements provided for in the Annexes of the Protocol attached to this Decision shall replace those referred to in Annexes XI and XII as referred to in Article 21(2) and (4), as amended, of the Europe Agreement establishing an Association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Slovak Republic, of the other part.
2. The Commission shall adopt rules for the application of the Protocol in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 6(2).
1. The order numbers as attributed to the tariff quotas in the Annex to this Decision may be changed by the Commission in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 6(2). Tariff quotas with an order number above 09.5100 shall be administered by the Commission in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
2. Quantities of goods subject to tariff quotas and released for free circulation as from 1 July 2002 under the concessions provided for in Annex A(b) to Regulation (EC) No 2434/2000 shall be fully counted against the quantities provided for in the fourth column in Annex A(b) to the attached Protocol, except for quantities for which import licences were issued before 1 July 2002.
Entitlement to the benefits from the Community tariff quota for wine referred to in Annex to this Decision and in Annex C of the protocol shall be subject to the presentation of a VI 1 document or a V I 2 extract in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 883/2001 of 24 April 2001 laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 as regards trade with third countries in products in the wine sector(6).
1. The Commission shall be assisted by the Committee for Cereals instituted by Article 23 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(7) or, where appropriate, by the committee instituted by the relevant provisions of the other regulations on the common organisation of agricultural markets.

authorising methods for grading pig carcases in Spain
(notified under document number C(2008) 8477)
(Only the Spanish text is authentic)
(2009/11/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 of 13 November 1984 determining the Community scale for grading pig carcases (1), and in particular Article 5(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under Article 2(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84, the grading of pig carcases is to be determined by estimating the lean meat content by means of statistically proven assessment methods based on the physical measurement of one or more anatomical parts of the pig carcase. The authorisation of grading methods is subject to compliance with a maximum tolerance for statistical error in assessment. This tolerance is defined in Article 3(2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85 of 24 October 1985 laying down detailed rules for the application of the Community scale for grading pig carcases (2).
(2) Commission Decision 88/479/EEC (3) authorises four methods (DEST, FOM, HGP and Autofom) for grading pig carcases in Spain.
(3) Due to technical adaptations, Spain has asked the Commission to authorise the update of two methods (FOM and Autofom), the utilisation of two new methods (Ultrafom 300 and VCS2000) and the repeal of two methods (HGP and DEST), and has presented the results of its dissection trials in the second part of the protocol provided for in Article 3(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85.
(4) Examination of this request has revealed that the conditions for authorising these grading methods are fulfilled.
(5) In accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 Member States may be authorised to provide for a presentation of pig carcases different from the one specified in that Article where commercial practice or technical requirements warrant such a derogation. In Spain, commercial practice may require also the removal of the forefeet from the pig carcases, in addition to the removal of the tongue, bristles, hooves, genital organs, fare flat, kidneys and diaphragm as required by Article 2(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84.
(6) No modification of the apparatus or grading methods may be authorised except by means of a new Commission Decision adopted in the light of experience gained. For this reason, the present authorisation may be revoked.
(7) For the sake of clarity, Decision 88/479/EEC should be repealed and replaced by a new Decision.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
The use of the following methods is hereby authorised for grading pig carcases pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 in Spain:
(a) the apparatus termed ‘Fat-O-Meater (FOM)’ and assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 1 of the Annex;
(b) the apparatus termed ‘Fully automatic ultrasonic carcase grading (Autofom)’ and assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 2 of the Annex;
(c) the apparatus termed ‘Ultrafom 300’ and assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 3 of the Annex;
(d) the apparatus termed ‘Automatic vision system (VCS2000)’ and assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 4 of the Annex.
By way of derogation from Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84, pig carcases may be presented also without forefeet before being weighed and graded. In this case, in order to establish quotations for pig carcases on a comparable basis, the recorded hot weight shall be increased by 0,840 kilograms.
Modifications of the apparatus or the assessment methods shall not be authorised.
Decision 88/479/EEC is repealed.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 of 23 July 1984 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Articles 9, 10 and 11 thereof,
After consultations within the Advisory Committee as provided for by the above Regulation,
Whereas:
A. Procedure
(1) In March 1983 the Commission received a complaint lodged by the European Federation of Chemical Manufacturers Associations on behalf of producers of copper sulphate whose collective output constitutes practically all Community production of the product in question. The complaint contained evidence of dumping and of material injury resulting therefrom, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a proceeding. The Commission accordingly announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (2), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of copper sulphate falling within subheading ex 28.38 A II of the Common Customs Tariff, corresponding to NIMEXE code ex 28.38-27, originating in Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland and Spain and commenced an investigation.
(2) The Commission officially so advised the exporters and importers known to be concerned, the representatives of Spain and the complainants and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing.
All the known producers and exporters and some importers made their views known in writing. All exporters concerned have requested and have been granted hearings.
(3) The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed to be necessary for the purposes of a preliminary determination and carried out investigations at the premises of the following:
- EEC producers:
- La Cornubia SA, Bordeaux, France,
- McKechnie Chemicals Ltd, UK-Widnes,
- Manica Spa, Rovereto, Italy;
- Exporters to EEC:
- Industrias Quimicas del VallĂŠs SA, Mollet, Spain;
- EEC importers:
- Kloeckner Chemie en Mineralen BV, Arnhem, Netherlands.
The Commission requested and received detailed written submissions from all complainant Community producers, all exporters and some importers and verified the information therein to the extent considered necessary.
The investigation of dumping covered the period April 1983 to March 1984.
B. Normal value
(4) Normal value was provisionally determined for Spanish exports on the basis of the domestic prices of the Spanish producer who exported to the EEC, the Commission being satisfied that these prices were representative and covered all costs of production.
(5) In order to establish whether the imports from Bulgaria, Hungary and Poland were dumped, the Commission had to take account of the fact that these countries do not have market-economies and the Commission therefore had to base its determinations on the normal value in a market-economy country. In this connection, the
complainants had suggested the Spanish market. Certain objections were made to this suggestion alleging that there was little or no competition in the Spanish market, resulting particularly from the fact that it was heavily protected and that domestic Spanish prices could, accordingly, be artificially high and thus inappropriate for the purposes of establishing normal value.
(6) While no proposal was made as to another analogue country, it was suggested that Spanish export prices to third countries might be more appropriate for establishing normal value. The Commission is, however, satisfied that in Spain there is sufficient internal competition between the two existing producers and that price levels are in a reasonable proportion to production costs. As regards Spanish export prices to third countries, the Commission was not satisfied that these prices were not at dumped levels since both domestic prices in Spain and export prices to the Community seemed to be at higher levels than these export prices.
The Commission therefore concluded that it would be appropriate and not unreasonable to determine normal value on the basis of Spanish domestic prices.
C. Export price
(7) Export prices were determined on the basis of the prices actually paid or payable for the products sold for export to the Community.
D. Comparison
(8) In comparing normal value with export prices, the Commission took account, where appropriate, of differences affecting price comparability. In particular, account was taken of differences in quality, purity and copper content, sufficient evidence of which was supplied by the Hungarian and Polish exporters.
Allowance was also made for the incidence of cumulative domestic indirect taxes on sales in the Spanish market and for the incidence of Spanish customs duty levied on imported copper and refunded when copper sulphate is exported, satisfactory evidence of both having been provided.
In all comparisons, account was taken of differences in conditions and terms of payment and adjustment was made, where appropriate, to allow comparison of export prices with a normal value at the same level of trade.
E. Margins
(9) The above preliminary examination of the facts shows the existence of dumping in respect of imports of copper sulphate originating in Bulgaria, Hungary and Poland, the margin of dumping being equal to the amount by which the normal value as established exceeds the price for export to the Community.
These margins vary according to the exporter concerned, the weighted average margin for each of the exporters investigated being as follows:
Bulgaria 39 %
Hungary 19 %
Poland 18 %
Imports to the Community of copper sulphate originating in Spain were found not to have been dumped.
F. Injury
(10) With regard to the injury caused by the dumped imports, the evidence available to the Commission shows that imports into the Community from Bulgaria, Hungary and Poland of copper sulphate increased from 396 tonnes in 1980, to 735 tonnes in 1981, to 1 512 tonnes in 1982 and to 3 941 tonnes in 1983 with a consequent increase in market share held by these exporting countries from less than 1 % to 9 % in the same period.
These volumes should be considered in the light of the effect of anti-dumping measures concerning imports of copper sulphate to the Community from Yugoslavia and from both Czechoslovakia and the USSR imposed in March and October 1983 respectively. Dumped imports of copper sulphate from Bulgaria, Hungary and Poland have effectively replaced dumped imports from Yugoslavia and particularly those from Czechoslovakia and the USSR, volumes of which dropped significantly following the imposition of anti-dumping measures.
In addition, the resale prices of the imports under consideration undercut the prices of the Community producers during the investigation period by 10 % to 28 %. These resale prices were lower than those required to cover the costs of Community producers and provide a reasonable profit.
(11) The consequent impact on the Community industry concerned has been a fall in production from 36 000 tonnes to an estimated 34 000 tonnes from the 1982/83 season (August to July) to that of 1983/84; production thus remains at approximately the same level as for 1981/82 when the Yugoslav, Czech and USSR dumped imports first had a significant impact. Prior to 1981/82, Community production figures had exceeded 50 000 tonnes yearly. The consequent low capacity utilization which, for the complainant companies, was on average about 40 % for the period under consideration has led to a maintenance of high unit costs resulting in significant losses on sales in the EEC market which account for almost 90 % of the complainant companies' total sales of copper sulphate. Indeed, one complainant company has ceased production of copper sulphate since October 1983 as a direct result of the impact of the dumped imports.
(12) The Commission has considered whether injury has been caused by other factors such as a reduction in the complainants' sales to third countries or the stagnation of demand within the Community. Although the volume of Community producers' sales in third countries has fallen during the period under consideration, these sales constitute only a relatively small proportion of the complainants' total sales of copper sulphate. Consumption in the Community has risen by some 11 % since 1981/82 but it has been established that this increase has not been reflected in the Community producers' figures for sales of copper sulphate in the EEC. Thus, the substantial increase in dumped imports from the three countries concerned and the prices at which they are offered for sale in the Community led the Commission to determine that the effects of the dumped imports of copper sulphate originating in Bulgaria, Hungary and Poland, taken in isolation, have to be considered as constituting material injury to the Community industry concerned.
G. Community interest
(13) In view of the serious difficulties facing the Community industry the Commission has come to the conclusion that it is in the Community's interest that action be taken. In order to prevent further injury being caused during the remainder of the proceeding, this action should take the form of a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of copper sulphate from Poland.
H. Rate of duty
(14) Having regard to the extent of injury caused, the rate of such duty should correspond to the margin of dumping provisionally estimated.
I. Undertakings and termination
(15) The Bulgarian and Hungarian exporters concerned, having been informed of the main findings of the preliminary investigation, offered undertakings concerning their exports of copper sulphate to the Community.
Having regard to the extent of the injury caused the effect of the said undertakings will be to eliminate the margins of dumping provisionally estimated.
(16) In these circumstances, the undertakings offered are considered acceptable and the investigation may, as it concerns Bulgaria and Hungary, be terminated without imposition of anti-dumping duties.
In view of the finding of an absence of dumping regarding imports of copper sulphate originating in Spain, the proceeding, as it concerns that country, may be terminated without imposition of anti-dumping measures.
No objection to this course was raised in the Advisory Committee.
(17) A period should be fixed within which the parties concerned may make their views known and request a hearing.
1. A provisional anti-dumping duty is hereby imposed on imports of copper sulphate falling within subheading ex 28.38 A II of the Common Customs Tariff, corresponding to NIMEXE code 28.38-27 and originating in Poland.
2. The rate of the duty shall be equal to 18 % of the price per tonne net, free-at-Community-frontier, before duty.
The free-at-Community-frontier prices shall be net if the conditions of sale provide for payment within 30 days from the date of shipment; they shall be increased or reduced by 1 % for each increase or decrease of one month in the period for payment.
3. The provisions in force concerning customs duties shall apply.
4. The release for free circulation in the Community of the products referred to in paragraph 1 shall be subject to the provision of a security, equivalent to the amount of the provisional duty. Article 2
The undertakings given by Chimimport, Sofia and Chemolimex, Budapest in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning copper sulphate originating in Bulgaria and Hungary are hereby accepted.
The anti-dumping investigation concerning imports of copper sulphate originating in Bulgaria and Hungary is hereby terminated.
The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of copper sulphate originating in Spain is hereby terminated.
Without prejudice to Article 7 (4) (b) and (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84, the parties concerned may make known their views and apply to be heard orally by the Commission within one month of the entry into force of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
Subject to Articles 11, 12 and 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84, Article 1 of this Regulation shall apply for a period of four months, unless the Council adopts definitive measures before the expiry of that period.

of 10 October 2006
fixing the export refunds on poultrymeat
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in poultrymeat (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 8(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 8(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1) of that Regulation and prices for those products on the Community market may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Given the present situation on the market in poultrymeat, export refunds should therefore be fixed in accordance with the rules and criteria provided for in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75.
(3) Article 8(3), second subparagraph of Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund according to destination.
(4) Refunds should be granted only on products that are allowed to move freely in the Community and that bear the identification mark as 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 negotiations within the framework of the Europe Agreements between the European Community and Romania and Bulgaria aim in particular to liberalise trade in products covered by the common organisation of the market concerned. For these two countries export refunds should therefore be abolished.
(6) The Management Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
1. Export refunds as provided for in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 shall be granted on the products and for the amounts set out in the Annex to this Regulation subject to the condition provided for in paragraph 2 of this Article.
2. The products eligible for a refund under paragraph 1 must meet the relevant requirements of Regulations (EC) No 852/2004 and (EC) No 853/2004, notably preparation in an approved establishment and compliance with the identification marking requirements laid down in Annex II, Section I to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 11 October 2006.

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 3 April 1981, Italy 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 "Perkin Elmer Scanning Auger Microprobe, model 590, with accessories", to be used for surface analysis, 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 25 September 1981 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is an analyzer ; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the sensitivity of the chemical analysis and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research ; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities ; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, however, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of scientific value equivalent to the said apparatus, capable of being used for the same purposes, are currently being manufactured in the Community ; whereas this applies, in particular, to the apparatus "MA 500 Augerlab" manufactured by VG Scientific Ltd, The Birches Industrial Estate, Imberhome Lane, East Grinstead, Sussex, United Kingdom,
The apparatus described as "Perkin Elmer Scanning Auger Microprobe, model 590, with accessories" which is the subject of an application by Italy of 3 April 1981 may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2026/97 of 6 October 1997 on protection against subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Community(1) (hereinafter referred to as "the basic Regulation"), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1973/2002(2), and in particular Article 20 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE
(1) By Regulation (EC) No 1601/1999(3), the Council imposed a definitive countervailing duty on imports of stainless steel wire having a diameter of less than 1 mm (hereinafter referred to as "the product concerned") falling within CN code ex 7223 00 19 originating in India. The measures took the form of ad valorem duties of between 0 % and 42,9 % on individual exporters, with a residual duty of 44,4 %.
B. CURRENT PROCEDURE
1. Request for review
(2) Subsequent to the imposition of definitive measures, the Commission received a request for the initiation of an accelerated review of Regulation (EC) No 1601/1999, pursuant to Article 20 of the basic Regulation, from one Indian producer, Garg Sales Co. PVT Ltd (the applicant). The company concerned claimed that it was not related to any other exporters of the product concerned in India. Furthermore, it claimed that it had not exported the product concerned during the original period of investigation (1 April 1997 to 31 March 1998), but had exported the product concerned to the Community after that period. On the basis of the above, it requested that an individual duty rate be established for it.
2. Initiation of an accelerated review
(3) The Commission examined the evidence submitted by the applicant and considered it sufficient to justify the initiation of a review in accordance with the provisions of Article 20 of the basic Regulation. After consultation of the Advisory Committee and after the Community industry concerned had been given the opportunity to comment, the Commission initiated, by a notice in the Official Journal of the European Communities(4), an accelerated review of Regulation (EC) No 1601/1999 with regard to the company concerned and commenced its investigation.
3. Non cooperation by the exporting producer
(4) In order to obtain the information it deemed necessary for its investigation, the Commission sent a questionnaire to the applicant. However, the Commission did not receive any reply to the questionnaire within the deadline set for that purpose. Neither did the applicant request an extension of that deadline. The Commission informed the applicant that in these circumstances it was intended to proceed with the termination of the review investigation without examining further its request for establishing an individual duty rate. The applicant was given a period of 10 days to comment. No comments from the applicant were received on the disclosure of the Commission's intention to terminate the review investigation.
(5) Consequently, it must be concluded that Garg Sales Co. PVT Ltd has failed to cooperate in the investigation by not replying to the questionnaire sent by the Commission. The accelerated review should therefore be terminated,
The accelerated review of Council Regulation (EC) No 1601/1999 concerning imports of stainless steel wire with a diameter of less than 1 mm originating in India is hereby terminated. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas:
(1) Article 3(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 603/95 fix the amounts of aid to be paid to processors for dehydrated fodder and sun-dried fodder produced during the 1999/2000 marketing year up to the maximum guaranteed quantities laid down in Article 4(1) and (3) of that Regulation.
(2) The information forwarded to the Commission by the Member States under the second indent of Article 15(a) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 785/95 of 6 April 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 603/95 on the common organisation of the market in dried fodder(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 676/1999(4), indicates that the maximum guaranteed quantity for dehydrated fodder has been exceeded, and that the maximum guaranteed quantity for sun-dried fodder has not been exceeded.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 of 15 June 1992 concerning specific measures for the Canary Islands with regard to certain agricultural products (1), and in particular Article 4 (4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85 of 11 June 1985 on the value of the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2205/90 (3), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Whereas in application of Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 it is necessary to determine, for the 1992/93 marketing year, the quantities of breeding rabbits originating in the Community which may receive aid with a view to developing the production potential of the Canary Islands;
Whereas the amount of the aid referred to above for the supply to the Canaries of breeding rabbits originating in the rest of the Community must also be fixed; whereas this aid must reflect, in particular, the costs of supply from the world market, conditions due to the geographical situation of the Canaries and current prices for exports of the animals concerned to non-member countries;
Whereas the common detailed rules for implementation of the specific arrangements for the supply of certain agricultural products to the Canary Islands were laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 1695/92 (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2132/92 (5); whereas complementary implementing rules should be laid down, reflecting current commercial practices in the rabbit sector, in particular regarding the duration of the validity of aid certificates and the amount of the securities ensuring compliance with their obligations by operators;
Whereas Article 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 1695/92 stipulates that the amount of the aid is that in force on the day the application for the aid certificate is lodged; whereas, therefore, provision should be made for the conversion rate to be used for payment of the aid and for the lodging of a security for the certificate, to be the agricultural conversion rate in force on the day on which the application for a certificate is lodged;
Whereas with a view to efficiently managing the supply arrangements, it is necessary to provide for a time limit for applications for certificates and a period for their issue;
Whereas in application of Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92, the supply arrangements are applicable from 1 July 1992; whereas it is necessary to provide for early application of the detailed implementing rules;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in conformity with the opinion of the Management Committee for Eggs and Poultrymeat,
The aid provided for in Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1601/91 for the supply to the Canary Islands of breeding rabbits originating in the Community and the number of rabbits for which it may be given are determined in the Annex.
Spain shall designate the competent authority for:
(a) the issue of the aid certificate provided for in Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1695/92;
(b) the payment of the aid to the operators concerned.
The provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 1695/92 shall apply.
1. Application for certificates shall be presented to the competent authority during the first five working days of each month. An application for a certificate shall be valid only if:
(a) it does not exceed the maximum quantity of animals available for each sub-group of animals published by Spain prior to the start of the period for the presentation of applications;
(b) before the expiry of the period provided for the presentation of applications for certificates, proof has been provided that the interested party has lodged a security of ECU 5 per rabbit.
2. Certificates shall be delivered by the 10th working day of each month at the latest.
The duration of validity of the aid certificates shall expire on the last day of the second month following that of their delivery.
The payment of aid provided for in Article 1 shall be made for the quantities actually supplied.
The rate to be applied for conversion into national currency of the amount of the aid and the amount of the guarantee for the certificate shall be the agricultural conversion rate in force on the day on which the application for the aid certificate is submitted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 109l(4), third sentence thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Central Bank,
(1) Whereas according to Council Regulation (EC) No 974/98 of 3 May 1998 on the introduction of the euro (1), the euro will be substituted as from 1 January 1999 for the currency of each participating Member State at the conversion rate;
(2) Whereas the Community will have competence for monetary and exchange rate matters in the Member States adopting the euro as from that date;
(3) Whereas the euro will be substituted for the French franc on 1 January 1999;

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DIRECTIVE 2011/53/EU
of 20 April 2011
amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC to include dazomet as active substance and amending Commission Decision 2008/934/EC
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 (2) and (EC) No 1490/2002 (3) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the second and third stages of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and establish a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list included dazomet.
(2) In accordance with Article 11e of Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002 the notifier withdrew its support of the inclusion of that active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC within 2 months from receipt of the draft assessment report. Consequently, Commission Decision 2008/934/EC of 5 December 2008 concerning the non-inclusion of certain active substances in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing these substances (4) was adopted on the non-inclusion of dazomet.
(3) Pursuant to Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the original notifier (hereinafter ‘the applicant’) submitted a new application requesting the accelerated procedure to be applied, as provided for in Articles 14 to 19 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 of 17 January 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included into its Annex I (5).
(4) The application was submitted to Belgium, which had been designated rapporteur Member State by Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002. The time period for the accelerated procedure was respected. The specification of the active substance and the supported uses are the same as were the subject of Decision 2008/934/EC. That application also complies with the remaining substantive and procedural requirements of Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008.
(5) Belgium evaluated the additional data submitted by the applicant and prepared an additional report. It communicated that report to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) and to the Commission on 10 December 2009. The Authority communicated the additional report to the other Member States and the applicant for comments and forwarded the comments it had received to the Commission. In accordance with Article 20(1) of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 and at the request of the Commission, the Authority presented its conclusion on dazomet to the Commission on 30 September 2010 (6). The draft assessment report, the additional 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 finalised on 11 March 2011 in the format of the Commission review report for dazomet.
(6) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing dazomet may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which have been examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include dazomet in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing this active substance can be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.
(7) Without prejudice to that conclusion, it is appropriate to obtain further information on certain specific points. Article 6(1) of Directive 91/414/EC provides that inclusion of a substance in Annex I may be subject to conditions. Therefore, it is appropriate to require that the applicant submit further information to confirm the potential groundwater contamination by methyl isothiocyanate, the assessment of the long range atmospheric transport potential of methyl isothiocyanate and related environmental risks, the acute risk to insectivorous birds and the long term risk to birds and mammals.
(8) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the inclusion.
(9) Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Directive 91/414/EEC as a consequence of including an active substance in Annex I, Member States should be allowed a period of 6 months after inclusion to review existing authorisations of plant protection products containing dazomet to ensure that the requirements laid down by Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular in its Article 13 and the relevant conditions set out in Annex I, are satisfied. Member States should vary, replace or withdraw, as appropriate, existing authorisations, in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. By derogation from the above deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC.
(10) The experience gained from previous 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 (7) 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.
(11) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(12) Decision 2008/934/EC provides for the non-inclusion of dazomet and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing that substance by 31 December 2011. It is necessary to delete the line concerning dazomet in the Annex to that Decision.
(13) It is therefore appropriate to amend Decision 2008/934/EC accordingly.
(14) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
The line concerning dazomet in the Annex to Decision 2008/934/EC is deleted.
Member States shall adopt and publish by 30 November 2011 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 December 2011.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
1. Member States shall in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing dazomet as an active substance by 30 November 2011.
By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to that Directive relating to dazomet are met, with the exception of those identified in Part B of the entry concerning that active substance, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive in accordance with the conditions of Article 13 of that Directive.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing dazomet as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by 31 May 2011 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to that Directive and taking into account Part B of the entry in Annex I to that Directive concerning dazomet. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 4(1)(b), (c), (d) and (e) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
Following that determination Member States shall:
(a) in the case of a product containing dazomet as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 May 2015 at the latest; or
(b) in the case of a product containing dazomet as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 May 2015 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective Directive or Directives which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, whichever is the latest.
This Directive shall enter into force on 1 June 2011.

Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 75 of the Financial Regulation and Article 90(1) of the Implementing Rules, the commitment of expenditure from the Union budget shall be preceded by a financing decision setting out the essential elements of the action involving expenditure and adopted by the institution or the authorities to which powers have been delegated by the institution.
(2) Decision 2009/470/EC lays down the procedures governing the financial contribution from the Union towards specific veterinary measures, including emergency measures. With a view to helping to eradicate bluetongue as rapidly as possible the Union should contribute financially to eligible expenditure borne by the Member States. The second indent of Article 3(6) of that Decision lays down rules on the percentage that must be applied to the costs incurred by the Member States.
(3) Commission Regulation (EC) No 349/2005 (2) lays down rules on the Community financing of emergency measures and of the campaign to combat certain animal diseases under Council Decision 90/424/EEC. Article 3 of that Regulation lays down rules on the expenditure eligible for Union financial support.
(4) Commission Decision 2008/655/EC (3) as modified by Decision 2009/19/EC (4) granted a financial contribution by the Union towards emergency measures to combat bluetongue in Luxembourg in 2007 and 2008.
(5) On 27 March 2009, Luxembourg submitted an official request for reimbursement as set out in Article 7(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 349/2005. The Commission’s observations, method of calculating the eligible expenditure and final conclusions were communicated to Luxembourg in a letter dated 30 March 2011.
(6) The payment of the financial contribution from the Union must be subject to the condition that the planned activities were actually implemented and that the authorities provided all the necessary information within the set deadlines.
(7) The Luxembourgish authorities have fully complied with their technical and administrative obligations as set out in Article 3(4) of Decision 2009/470/EC and Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 349/2005.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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 161(3), Article 164(2)(b) and Article 170 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 619/2008 (2) lays down rules for the tender procedure concerning export refunds for natural butter in blocks falling under the code ex ex 0405 10 19 9700, butter oil in containers falling under the code ex ex 0405 90 10 9000 and skimmed milk powder falling under code ex ex 0402 10 19 9000.

of 8 May 1984
laying down general rules for the system of production aid for processed fruit and vegetables
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 of 14 March 1977 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 988/84 (2), and in particular Articles 3a (3), 3c (4) and 4 (7) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 3a of Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 specifies, in the case of currants, that producers must undertake not to deliver to the processing industry a specified percentage of the quantities covered by the contract; whereas this percentage must be such as to ensure that the products delivered by the producer are of suitable quality; whereas, in the case of dried grapes, payment of the aid is conditional on non-processing by the industry of a percentage of these quantities to be determined; whereas these percentages must be such as to ensure that the products intended for consumption are of suitable quality;
Whereas certain products eligible for aid are in direct competition with one another; whereas the production aid should not affect that competitive situation; whereas this aid should be calculated for the main products concerned, and the aid for the other products should be derived from the aid thus calculated;
Whereas Article 3b (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 provides that the minimum price to be paid to the producer for dried grapes and dried figs shall be increased during the marketing year; whereas, as a result, the price of the raw material to be taken into consideration in calculating the aid should be determined;
Whereas Article 3c of the said Regulation specifies that the third-country price shall be taken into consideration in calculating the aid; whereas this price may be ascertained from both the prices of imports into the Community and prices recorded on the world market;
Whereas that Article also specifies that the third-country price must be reduced to the price at the raw material stage; whereas, for this purpose, account should be taken, in particular, of the present situation with regard to processing costs in the Community and, to the extent to which they are available, in third countries; whereas, where a minimum import price is applicable, it must be borne in mind, when assessing the present situation, that this price is identical in all Member States;
Whereas changes in processing costs may only be taken into consideration at subsequent fixings in case of necessity; whereas such a situation arises when the sale of products is likely to encounter difficulties;
Whereas the price of the Community products on the market may be found to provide additional information for calculation of the aid; whereas provision should therefore be made for the possibility of taking this into account;
Whereas, where the volume of imports is low, the third-country prices in question are considered not to be representative; whereas the volume of imports is considered to be low if they remain below 10 % of consumption;
Whereas, where the third-country price is not representative, a price should be used which is calculated on the basis of the trend of prices and the sales possibilities on the Community market;
Whereas the aid is calculated for the raw material; whereas, however, the aid must be granted for the net-weight finished product; whereas the ratio between the two can be fixed on the basis of average yields recorded in the Community;
Whereas the storage agencies must purchase quantities of dried grapes and dried figs at the end of the marketing year; whereas these products must be sold in such a way that the normal commercial market will not be disturbed; whereas it should therefore be specified that the terms of sale are to be laid down at Community level,
1. For currants, the percentage referred to in Article 3a (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 shall be 5 %.
2. The percentage referred to in Article 3d (2) shall be as follows:
(a) for currants: 15 %,
(b) for other dried grapes: 8 %.
1. In respect of products derived from tomatoes, the production aid shall be calculated for:
(a) tomato concentrates falling within subheading 20.02 C of the Common Customs Tariff;
(b) whole peeled tomatoes obtained from the San Marzano variety falling within subheading 20.02 C of the Common Customs Tariff;
(c) whole peeled tomatoes obtained from the Roma or similar varieties falling within subheading 20.02 C of the Common Customs Tariff;
(d) tomato juices falling within heading No 20.07 of the Common Customs Tariff.
2. Production aid for:
- tomato flakes falling within subheading 07.04 B of the Common Customs Tariff, and
- tomato juice, including passata, falling within subheading 20.02 C of the Common Customs Tariff
shall, without prejudice to the measures adopted pursuant to Article 3 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 516/77, be derived from aid calculated for tomato concentrate, taking into consideration in particular the dry-weight content of the products.
3. Production aid for:
- peeled tomatoes, whole or non-whole, preserved by freezing, falling within subheading 07.02 B of the Common Customs Tariff, and
- non-whole peeled tomatoes falling within subheading 20.02 C of the Common Customs Tariff,
shall, without prejudice to the measures adopted pursuant to Article 3 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 516/77, be derived from the aid calculated for whole peeled tomatoes obtained from the Roma or similar varieties, taking into consideration, in particular, the commercial characteristics of the products.
4. The production aid for dried grapes shall be calculated for dried grapes other than currants. The production aid for currants shall, without prejudice to the measures adopted pursuant to Article 3 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 be derived from that aid.
1. The provisions of this Article shall apply for the purposes of Article 3c (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 516/77.
2. The raw material minimum price to be adopted for dried grapes and dried figs shall be the minimum price to be paid to the producer at the start of the marketing year, increased by the average of the monthly increases provided for by Article 3 (b) (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 516/77.
3. The third-country price shall be determined in particular from:
(a) free-at-frontier prices on importation into the Community;
(b) prices ruling in international trade.
4. When the aid is first fixed, the adjustment on a flat-rate basis of the third-country price to reduce it to the price at the raw material stage shall be made on the basis of:
(a) processing costs in the Community, established for the 1983/84 marketing year. However, if the rate of inflation in 1983 is found to exceed 5 %, the processing costs may be adjusted by an amount determined on the basis of market prospects, which can, as a maximum, be equal to the rate of inflation;
(b) where relevant, processing costs in third countries.
For the products for which a minimum import price is applicable, account shall also be taken of the respective situations of the main production and consumer markets.
5. On the occasion of subsequent fixings, the adjustment in the aid to take account of changes in processing costs shall be made by the amount necessary to ensure competitiveness with products from third countries or appropriate sale on the Community market.
6. The aid shall be adjusted as specified in the third indent of Article 3c (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 in cases where a significant difference is found between the price of Community products and that of imports from third countries. Article 4
1. For the purposes of the first indent of Article 3c (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 516/77, the third-country price shall be considered not to be representative when the volume of Community imports during the calendar year preceding the year in which the aid is fixed is less than 10 % of consumption in the Community during that calendar year.
2. For the calculation of the price referred to in Article 3c (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 516/77, the Community market price to be used shall be determined from:
- the price recorded for intra-Community trade,
- trade prices to the extent to which they are available within the Community.
The coefficients referred to in Article 3c (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 shall be calculated on the basis of the quantities of raw material used and of the net-weight finished products obtained in the Community during the 1983/84 marketing year. They shall be adjusted, if necessary, in line with any later changes.
1. The sale of dried grapes and dried figs purchased by the storage agencies and the terms of such sale shall be decided upon in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 20 of Regulation (EEC) No 516/77, taking account of the need not to upset the balance of the market.
2. Where special measures, as referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 4 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 516/77, are introduced, special terms may be laid down to guarantee that the terms of sale are respected.
In such cases, a special security may be required as a guarantee that the commitments entered into will be discharged which shall be forfeit in whole or in part if they are not or are only partially discharged.
3. Sales shall be either by tender or at prices fixed in advance.
Tenders shall not be considered unless a security is lodged.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply in respect of each product from the beginning of the 1984/85 marketing year.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organization of the market in rice(3), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 411/2002(4), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provide that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of those Regulations and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provides that when refunds are being fixed account must be taken of the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of cereals, rice and broken rice on the Community market on the one hand and prices for cereals, rice, broken rice and cereal products on the world market on the other. The same Articles provide that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the markets in cereals and rice and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports, and the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market.
(3) Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1518/95(5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2993/95(6), on the import and export system for products processed from cereals and from rice defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the refund on these products is being calculated.
(4) The refund to be granted in respect of certain processed products should be graduated on the basis of the ash, crude fibre, tegument, protein, fat and starch content of the individual product concerned, this content being a particularly good indicator of the quantity of basic product actually incorporated in the processed product.
(5) There is no need at present to fix an export refund for manioc, other tropical roots and tubers or flours obtained therefrom, given the economic aspect of potential exports and in particular the nature and origin of these products. For certain products processed from cereals, the insignificance of Community participation in world trade makes it unnecessary to fix an export refund at the present time.
(6) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.
(7) The refund must be fixed once a month. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(8) Certain processed maize products may undergo a heat treatment following which a refund might be granted that does not correspond to the quality of the product; whereas it should therefore be specified that on these products, containing pregelatinized starch, no export refund is to be granted.
(9) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and in Article 1(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 laying down Community procedures for the establishment of residue limits of pharmacologically active substances in foodstuffs of animal origin, repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 and amending Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 of the European Parliament and the Council (1), and in particular Article 14 in conjunction with Article 17 thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Medicines Agency formulated by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use,
Whereas:
(1) The maximum residue limit (‘MRL’) for pharmacologically active substances intended for use in the Union in veterinary medicinal products for food-producing animals or in biocidal products used in animal husbandry are established in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 470/2009.
(2) Pharmacologically active substances and their classification regarding MRLs in foodstuffs of animal origin are set out in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 (2).
(3) Tulathromycin is currently included in Table 1 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 as an allowed substance, for bovine and porcine species, applicable to fat (skin and fat for porcine species), liver and kidney.
(4) An application for the modification of the existing entry for tulathromycin has been submitted to the European Medicines Agency.
(5) The CVMP recommended the modification of the current Acceptable Daily Intake for tulathromycin, as well as the establishment of a provisional MRL for bovine and porcine species as the analytical method for monitoring residues in bovine and porcine species is not sufficiently validated for the MRLs proposed. The incomplete scientific data on the validation of the analytical method does not constitute a hazard to human health.
(6) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 the European Medicines Agency is to consider using MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in a particular foodstuff for another foodstuff derived from the same species, or MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in one or more species for other species.
(7) The Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use concluded that the extrapolation to other food producing species cannot be supported for this substance.
(8) Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 should therefore be amended to include the provisional MRLs for tulathromycin in respect of bovine and porcine species, applicable to muscle, skin and fat, liver and kidney. The provisional MRLs set out in that Table for bovine and porcine species should expire on 1 January 2015.
(9) Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(10) It is appropriate to provide for a reasonable period of time for the stakeholders concerned to take measures that may be required to comply with the newly set MRL.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,
The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 17 February 2015.

| COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 28 July 1982 relating to the organization by the Member States of surveys on the earnings of permanent and seasonal workers employed in agriculture (82/606/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 213 thereof,
Having regard to the draft Directive submitted by the Commission,
Whereas, in order to carry out the tasks assigned to it under the Treaty, in particular those set out in Articles 2, 39, 117, 118, 119 and 122 thereof, the Commission needs to know the situation and trends in earnings in the Member States;
Whereas such statistical data as do exist within the Member States on the earnings of agricultural workers do not at present permit valid comparisons to be made ; whereas it is, consequently, necessary to conduct a specific Community survey based on uniform definitions and characteristics;
Whereas the Commission needs regular, comprehensive data on earnings ; whereas it is therefore necessary to include all categories of agricultural workers of both sexes in the surveys;
Whereas, however, since the number of agricultural workers in certain categories is relatively insignificant in several Member States, it is desirable to adopt a selective approach;
Whereas provision should be made for an exception for the Federal Republic of Germany as regards agricultural workers receiving benefits in kind, in view of the insignificance of the number of such workers in the Federal Republic of Germany for the purposes of this Directive;
Whereas it is possible and also more economical to carry out such surveys by random sampling ; whereas, in order to obtain results of uniform accuracy, it is necessary to provide for a fixed margin of error of observation, which should be as low as possible;
Whereas it is necessary to define the arrangements for granting a Community financial contribution until 1986 to Member States for the purpose of conducting the surveys,
1. Member States shall undertake in 1984, and every two years thereafter, a survey of the actual earnings of permanent full-time and/or seasonal male and female workers employed in agriculture. The categories of workers to be covered by this survey in each Member State are set out in Annex I.
2. Member States may, however, carry out the survey for the first time in 1982.
3. Furthermore, Member States may in agreement with the Commission, include in the survey permanent part-time workers, having regard to their relative importance.
4. Definitions of the various categories of workers referred to in paragraphs 1 to 3 are given in Annex II.
The survey shall be conducted on the basis of statistical data relating to the months of September, October or November in the case of permanent workers, and to months designated by the Commission, in cooperation with the national statistical authorities of the Member States, in the case of seasonal workers.
The survey shall, within the terms laid down in Article 1, cover all holdings which employ permanent and/or seasonal workers and which engage in activities specified and defined under Class 01 of the General Nomenclature of Economic Activities in the European Communities (NACE), with the exception of holdings the activities of which consist exclusively or mainly in creating and maintaining gardens and parks, in hunting or in activities ancillary to agriculture.
The survey shall be carried out by random sampling. Member States shall take all appropriate measures, in particular with regard to the sample base, to maintain or, if necessary, to improve the quality of the survey results.
The survey shall consist of the collection, in respect of each of the workers concerned, of all data relating to gross earnings in cash for the month or months referred to in Article 2, the nature of the work performed, the basis on which earnings are calculated and the number of hours remunerated, sex, age and levels of qualification and, with the exception of the Federal Republic of Germany, relating to the existence of benefits in kind.
The Commission shall, in collaboration with the Member States, determine the technical details of the survey and the arrangements for transmitting the results to the Commission.
Member States shall receive, in respect of the surveys carried out up to 1986 inclusive, a flat rate sum for each holding surveyed. This sum shall be charged against appropriations allocated for this purpose in the general budget of the European Communities.
The Council shall review this Directive for the first time before the end of 1990 and every six years thereafter on the basis of a report from the Commission containing an assessment of the experience gained from carrying out the surveys.
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions needed in order to comply with this Directive by 30 June 1984 at the latest. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 of 23 November 1998 concerning the collection of statistical information by the European Central Bank (1), and in particular Articles 5(1) and 6(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 of the European Central Bank of 22 November 2001 concerning the consolidated balance sheet of the monetary financial institutions sector (ECB/2001/13) (2) requires monetary financial institutions (MFIs) to report quarterly statistical data broken down by country and currency. It needs to be amended to take into account the accession of new Member States to the European Union.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 (ECB/2001/13) also imposes an obligation to report quarterly data on positions vis-à-vis counterparties resident in the territories of Member States that have adopted the euro. It needs to be amended to take into account the adoption of the euro by further Member States.
(3) National central banks (NCBs) should be allowed to grant, on a non-discriminatory basis, derogations from the reporting requirements to individual electronic money institutions in certain situations. In cases where electronic money institutions fulfil certain conditions, the underlying purpose behind collecting statistical data under Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 (ECB/2001/13) can be met without imposing statistical requirements on such institutions. The European Central Bank (ECB) aims to ensure a level playing field by monitoring the granting of such derogations.
(4) The conditions under which shares issued by MFIs should be classified as deposits instead of as capital and reserves need to be clarified,
Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 (ECB/2001/13) is amended as follows:
1. in Article 1, the following paragraph is added:
2. in Article 2, the following paragraph 4 is added:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/402/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of cereal seed (1), and in particular Article 11(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Directive 74/268/EEC of 2 May 1974 laying down special conditions concerning the presence of Avena fatua in fodder plant and cereal seed (2) has been substantially amended (3). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Directive should be codified.
(2) Directive 66/402/EEC has laid down tolerances in respect of the presence of Avena fatua in cereal seed.
(3) Those tolerances appear too high with regard to certain requirements. Consequently, Directive 66/402/EEC, provides for an additional marking in the case of seed complying with special conditions concerning the presence of Avena fatua.
(4) The special conditions laid down in that connection are such as to satisfy such requirements while also taking account of the possibilities for the production and control of seed.
(5) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture, and Forestry.
(6) This Directive should be without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time-limits for transposition into national law of the Directives set out in Annex I, Part B,
Member States shall issue on request the official certificate provided for in Article 11 of Directive 66/402/EEC;
(a) if the crop is free of Avena fatua at the time of the field inspection officially carried out in conformity with the provisions of Annex I to that Directive and if a sample of a least 1 kg, drawn in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 of that Directive, is free of Avena fatua at the time of official examination; or
(b) if a sample of at least 3 kg, drawn in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 of that Directive, is free of Avena fatua at the time of official examination.
Member States may prescribe that the official certificate is issued only in one of the two cases provided for in Article 1.
Directive 74/268/EEC, as amended by the Directive listed in Annex I, Part A, is repealed, without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time-limits for transposition into national law of the Directives set out in Annex I, Part B.
References to the repealed Directive shall be construed as references to this Directive and shall be read in accordance with the correlation table in Annex II.

opening, allocating and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for deep-frozen fillets and minced blocks of Alaska pollack (Theragra chalcogramma) falling within subheadings ex 03.01 B I n) 2 and ex 03.01 B II b) 14 of the Common Customs Tariff
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Whereas Community supplies of deep-frozen fillets and minced blocks of Alaska pollack (Theragra chalcogramma) currently depend on imports from third countries; whereas it is in the Community's interest to suspend totally the Common Customs Tariff duty for the product in question, within the Community tariff quota of an appropriate volume for a relatively limited period; whereas in order not to call into question the development prospects of this production in the Community while ensuring an adequate supply to satisfy user industries, it is advisable to open this tariff quota for the product concerned for the period until 28 February 1986, free of duty, and to fix the volume thereof at 4 500 tonnes;
Whereas, in particular, equal and continuous access to the quota should be ensured for all Community importers and the rate of duty for the tariff quota should be applied consistently to all imports until the quota is exhausted; whereas, in the light of these principles, arrangements for the utilization of the tariff quota based on an allocation among Member States would seem to be consistent with the Community nature of the quota; whereas, to correspond as closely as possible to the actual trend in the market in the product in question, allocation of the quota should be in proportion to the requirements of the Member States as calculated by reference to statistics of imports from third countries during a representative reference period and to the economic outlook for the quota period in question;
Whereas in the case in point there are no statistical data broken down by quality of products in question; whereas the quota is an autonomous Community tariff quota intended to cover import needs arising in the Community, the quota volume may be allocated on the basis of the temporary import needs from third countries expressed by each of the Member States; whereas these arrangements for allocation will equally ensure the uniform application of the Common Customs Tariff;
Whereas, to take account of possible import trends for the product concerned, the quota volume should be divided into two instalments, the first being allocated between certain Member States and the second held as a reserve to meet subsequent requirements of Member States which have used up their initial shares and any additional requirements which might arise in the other Member States; whereas, to give importers of the Member States some degree of certainty, the first instalment of the tariff quota should be fixed at a relatively high level, which in this case could be 4 250 tonnes;
Whereas initial shares may be used up at different rates; whereas, to avoid disruption of supplies on this account, it should be provided that any Member State which has almost used up its initial share should draw an additional share from the reserve; whereas, each time its additional share is almost used up, a Member State should draw a further share, and so on as many times as the reserve allows; whereas the initial and additional shares be valid until the end of the quota period; whereas this form of administration requires close collaboration between the Member States and the Commission, which latter must be in a position to keep account of the extent to which the quotas have been used up and to inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any measure concerning the administration of the shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
1. From the date on which this Regulation enters into force until 28 February 1986, the Common Customs Tariff duty for deep-frozen fillets and minced blocks of Alaska pollack (Theragra chaclogramma), falling within subheadings ex 03.01 B II b) 14 and ex 03.01 B I n) 2 shall be totally suspended within the limit of a Community tariff quota of 4 500 tonnes.
2. Within the limits of this tariff quota, the Hellenic Republic shall apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions in the 1979 Act of Accession. Article 2
1. A first instalment of 4 250 tonnes of this Community tariff quota shall be allocated among certain Member States; the shares, which shall be valid until 28 February 1986, shall amount to the following quantities:
1.2 // // (tonnes) // Germany // 1 800 // France // 1 450 // United Kingdom // 1 000
2. The second instalment of 250 tonnes shall constitute the reserve.
3. If an importer gives notification of an imminent importation of the product in question in a Member State and requests the benefit of the quota, the Member States concerned shall inform the Commission and draw an amount corresponding to these requirements to the extent that the available balance of the reserve permits this.
1. If a Member State has used 90 % or more of its initial share as fixed in Article 2 (1), it shall forthwith, by notifying the Commission, draw a second share, to the extent that the reserve so permits, equal to 5 % of its initial share rounded up as necessary to the next whole number.
2. If a Member State, after exhausting its initial share, has used 90 % or more of the second share drawn by it, that Member State shall forthwith, in the manner and to the extent provided in paragraph 1, draw a third share equal to 2,5 % of its initial share rounded up as necessary to the next whole number.
3. If a Member State, after exhausting its second share has used 90 % or more of the third share drawn by it, that Member State shall, in the manner and to the extent provided in paragraph 1, draw a fourth share equal to the third.
This process shall apply until the reserve is used up.
4. By way of derogation from paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, a Member State may draw shares lower than those specified in those paragraphs if there are grounds for believing that those specified may not be used in full. Any Member State applying this paragraph shall inform the Commission of its grounds for so doing.
Additional shares drawn pursuant to Article 3 shall be valid until 28 February 1986.
The Commission shall keep an account of the shares opened by the Member States pursuant to Articles 2 and 3 and shall, as soon as the notification reaches it, inform each Member State of the extent to which the reserve has been used up.
It shall ensure that the drawing which exhausts the reserve does not exceed the balance available and to this end shall notify the amount of that balance to the Member State making the last drawing.
1. Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that additional shares drawn pursuant to Article 3 are opened in such a way that imports may be charged without interruption against their aggregate shares of the Community tariff quota.
2. Member States shall ensure that importers of the product in question have free access to the shares allotted to them.
3. Member States shall charge imports of the product in question against their shares as the product is entered with the customs authorities for free circulation.
4. The extent to which Member States have used up their shares shall be determined on the basis of imports charged against them under the conditions set out in paragraph 3.
At the Commission's request, the Member States shall inform it of imports actually charged against their shares.
The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 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 3699/93 of 21 December 1993 laying down the criteria and arrangements regarding Community structural assistance in the fisheries and aquaculture sector and the processing and marketing of its products (1) as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 25/97 (2), and in particular Articles 5 and 6 thereof,
Having regard to Council Decision 97/413/EC of 26 June 1997 concerning the objectives and detailed rules for restructuring the Community fisheries sector for the period from 1 January 1997 to 31 December 2001 with a view to achieving a balance on a sustainable basis between resources and their exploitation (3) and in particular Article 9(1) thereof,
Whereas Decision 97/413/EC was adopted pursuant to the provisions of Article 11 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 of 20 December 1992 establishing a Community system for fisheries and aquaculture (4), as amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden;
Whereas Italy, hereinafter referred to as 'the Member State`, on 30 June 1997, in accordance with Article 6(1) of Decision 97/413/EC, submitted to the Commission a fishing effort limitation programme for the period from 1 January 1997 to 31 December 2001, and has supplemented this programme by further information at later dates; whereas Article 9(1) of Decision 97/413/EC provides that the Commission shall adopt the multiannual guidance programmes (MAGP) for the fishing fleets of individual Member States no later than 30 November 1997;
Whereas Article 6(2) of Decision 97/413/EC provides that capacity reductions shall be ensured by the establishment in each Member State of a permanent regime to control the renewal of the fleet, which will determine, segment by segment, the ratio of entries/exits of vessels; whereas the programmes submitted by Member States either contain no information on this issue whatsoever or are unsatisfactory; whereas Member States should therefore communicate the necessary information to the Commission at a later stage;
Whereas Article 7(1) of Decision 97/413/EC provides that the starting point for the objectives fixed for the fishing fleets for 31 December 2001 shall be the fleet objectives fixed by the previous programme for 31 December 1996;
Whereas the objectives fixed by the previous programme should be adjusted in cases where this is justified by new information supplied by the Member State concerned;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 7(2) of Decision 97/413/EC, the particular situation of the fleet of each Member State concerned must be taken into account in fixing the objectives applicable to that fleet;
Whereas Decision 97/413/EC, and in particular Article 9(1) thereof, requires the fixing of annual intermediate targets; whereas since a large part of the first year of the period covered by the programmes will have elapsed at the time of the adoption of the present Decision it is not appropriate to set an intermediate objective for 1997;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 9(1) of Decision 97/413/EC, the Commission shall adopt the detailed rules for the implementation of that Decision; whereas it is useful to clarify certain concepts;
Whereas the starting point for calculating the intermediate and final fleet objectives under MAGP IV are the fleet objectives fixed by the previous programmes for 31 December 1996 (MAGP III); whereas the tonnage objectives set by MAGP III were expressed in gross registered tonnes (GRT), but the MAGP IV objectives must be expressed in units of gross tonnes (GT); whereas not all Member States have submitted GT values for all fishing vessels of the fleet concerned notwithstanding their obligation to measure or estimate the GT of all vessels in their fleet, and to transmit this information to the Commission;
Whereas, in those circumstances, the Commission must, using a practical approach, estimate the missing GT values in order to provisionally determine that Member State's MAGP IV intermediate and final objectives on the basis of those estimates;
Whereas however the Commission cannot accept any claims by Member States that fishing effort and/or capacity has been reduced in as far as they relate to vessels for which the Member State concerned has not fulfilled its obligation to transmit at GT value or estimate to the Commission, since the exact amount of that reduction is not verifiable;
Whereas, in the absence of the required GT tonnage values measured or estimated in accordance with the provisions of Council Regulation (EC) No 2930/86 of 22 September 1986 defining the characteristics of fishing vessels (5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 3259/94 (6) and implemented by Commission Decision 95/84/EC (7), the Commission will be unable to verify the percentage changes in the fleet capacity or fishing effort represented by changes in the capacity or activity of individual vessels, or by vessel entries or exits to and from the fleet; whereas the Commission will therefore have to assess whether the fishing effort reductions applied to vessels for which the required GT values are available have been sufficient to be almost certain that a Member State has reached its MAGP IV objectives;
Whereas, since the starting point for the MAGP IV objectives are the final MAGP III objectives, a Member State cannot be deemed to have reached either intermediate or final MAGP IV objectives until it has fulfilled its obligations under MAGP III, and in particular the obligation to reach at least 55 % of the MAGP III obligations by reductions in capacity,
Whereas the segmentation of the fleet must take into account the segmentation adopted by the previous programme;
Whereas in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 109/94 of 19 January 1994 concerning the Community register of fishing vessels (8), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 493/96 (9), each Member State must communicate all changes to the situation of the fishing fleet and the evolution of fishing effort by fishery;
Whereas the calculation of the objectives of the programme is based on information supplied by the Member State; whereas it may be necessary to revise the objectives if this information is later found to have been inaccurate;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,
The multiannual guidance programme for the fishing fleet of Italy for the period 1 January 1997 to 31 December 2001, as forwarded on 30 June 1997 and subsequently supplemented, is hereby approved, subject to the conditions laid down in this Decision and the Annex thereto.
The Member State shall ensure that any reductions in capacity or fishing effort that are required to meet the final objectives of the programme are achieved progressively. To this end intermediate objectives are set such that at least one quarter of the reductions are achieved by 31 December 1998, half of the reductions are achieved by 31 December 1999 and three-quarters of the reductions are achieved by 31 December 2000.
In order to ensure that the final and intermediate objectives of the programme will be met, the Member State shall communicate to the Commission for approval the regime of entries/exits of vessels referred to in Article 6(2) of Decision 97/413/EC.
1. The following units shall be used to measure whether the final and intermediate MAGP IV objectives have been met:
(i) the capacity of a vessel is measured both in terms of its tonnage expressed in gross tonnes (GT) and in terms of its power measured in kW according to the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 2930/86;
(ii) the fishing activity of a vessel is measured in days at sea in accordance with Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 109/94;
(iii) in accordance with Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 109/94 the fishing effort of a vessel is measured both as tonnage effort, defined as the product of its activity and its tonnage expressed in GT, and as power effort, defined as the product of its activity and its power expressed in kW.
2. Active and passive gears correspond to the lists of towed and static gears respectively in Annex I, Table 2 to Regulation (EC) No 109/94, with the exception of purse seines which are considered to be active gears for the purposes of the present Decision.
3. Fleet segments and, if applicable, fisheries are defined as shown in the Annex and in accordance with point 1 of the additional provisions thereof.
1. Until such time as a Member State has fulfilled its obligations pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 2930/86 to submit a measured or duly estimated GT value of a vessel, for the purposes of MAGP IV, the GT of that vessel shall be estimated by the Commission as being equivalent to the tonnage of that vessel expressed in GRT.
2. Any fishing effort reduction, including capacity reductions, claimed by a Member State shall not be taken into account by the Commission unless the Member State has fulfilled its obligation pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 2930/86 to furnish the Commission with the GT value or estimate of the vessel concerned.
3. If a Member State has not transmitted all the values or estimates of GT required pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 2930/86 necessary in order to determine whether that Member State has reached an intermediate or final objective, the Commission will assess whether the information on tonnage that has been supplied to it is nevertheless sufficient to assume that the Member State concerned has reached that objective. If the Commission concludes that this is the case, it shall consider that the conditions for granting modernisation and construction aid laid down in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 3699/93 have been fulfilled.
As long as a Member State has not fulfilled its global final obligations under MAGP III, and notably the obligation to achieve at least 55 % of the reduction objectives under MAGP III by capacity reductions, it shall be deemed not to have fulfilled its global intermediate and/or final obligations under MAGP IV.
In order to monitor and control the implementation of the programme, the Member States shall communicate all changes to the situation of the fishing fleet and the evolution of fishing effort by fishery according to the procedures laid down in Regulation (EC) No 109/94.
The annual communication from the Commission to the Council and to the European Parliament on the progress of the MAGP IV provided for in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 3699/93, shall be based on the information contained in the fishing vessel register of the Community and may incorporate additional information contained in the reports communicated by the Member States in accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 3699/93.
The objectives of the programme are indicated in the Annex. These objectives may be revised by the Commission, pursuant to the procedure laid down in Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92, whenever information gathered in order to calculate the objectives, notably concerning the composition of the catches by segment or by fishery, the starting levels of effort and the GT values or estimates, is found to have been inaccurate.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Italy.
It shall enter into force from 1 January 1997. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(8) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13(8) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides that the export refund applicable to cereals on the day on which an application for an export licence is made must be applied on request to exports to be effected during the period of validity of the export licence. In this case, a corrective amount may be applied to the refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down certain detailed rules under Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 on the granting of export refunds on cereals and the cereals and the measures to be taken in the event of disturbance on the market for cereals (2), allows for the fixing of a corrective amount for the products listed in Article 1(1)(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92. That corrective amount must be calculated taking account of the factors referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95.
(3) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the corrective amount according to destination.
(4) The corrective amount must be fixed at the same time as the refund and according to the same procedure; it may be altered in the period between fixings.
(5) It follows from applying the provisions set out above that the corrective amount must be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The corrective amount referred to in Article 1(1)(a), (b) and (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 which is applicable to export refunds fixed in advance except for malt shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.

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 19 of the Protocol laying down the conditions and procedures for the implementation of the second stage of the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Cyprus and adapting certain provisions thereof (1) stipulates that certain types of concentrated grape juice falling within code 2009 60 51, 2009 60 71, ex 2009 60 90 or ex 2204 30 91 of the combined Nomenclature and originating in Cyprus shall be imported into the Community at reduced rates of duty within the limits of an annual Community tariff quota of 3 000 tonnes; whereas, under the said Article 19, this volume is subject to an annual increase of 5 % from the entry into force of the Protocol, and will therefore be 3 150 tonnes in 1988; whereas, within the limits of the tariff quota, the duty applicable is to be abolished progressively according to the same timetable and under the same conditions as laid down in Articles 5 and 16 of the said Protocol; whereas, however, the Protocol to the Association Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Cyprus consequent on the accession of the Kingdom of Spain and of the Portuguese Republic to the Community (2) stipulates that from the date of its entry into force, the Kingdom of Spain will apply a duty reducing the gap between the rates of basic duty and of prefrential duty, whereas the Portuguese Republic will postpone implementation of the preferential arrangements for the products in question until the start of the second stage;
Whereas the Community tariff quota should therefore be opened for the period from 1 March to 31 December 1988;
Whereas equal and continuous access to the quota should be ensured for all Community importers and the rates laid down for the quota should be applied consistently to all imports of the product in question into all the Member States until the quota is exhausted; whereas, however, the quota should not in this case be allocated among the Member States, without prejudice to the drawing against the quota volume of such quantities as they may need, under conditions and according to the procedure laid down in Article 1 (2); whereas this method of administration 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 and inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any operation concerning the administration of the quota shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
1. From 1 March to 31 December 1988 the customs duty applicable to imports into the Community, with the exception of Portugal, of the following products originating in Cyprus shall be suspended at the level indicated and within the limits of a Community tariff quota as shown below:
1.2.3.4.5 // // // // // // Onder No // CN code // Description // Volume of quota (tonnes) // Rate of duty (%) // // // // // // // // // // // // 2009 // Fruit juices (including grape must) and vegetable juices, unfermented and not containing added spirit, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter: // // // // // Grape juice (including grape must): // // // // // Of a density not exceeding 1,33 g/cm3 at 20 °C // // // // // Of a value exceeding 18 ECU per 100 kg net weight: // // // 09.1421 // 2009 60 51 // Concentrated Of a value not exceeding 18 ECU per 100 kg net weight: With an added sugar content exceeding 30 % by weight: // 3 150 // 25,4 + ads from 1 March to 31 December // // 2009 60 71 // Concentrated // // // // ex 2009 60 90 // Other // // // // // Concentrated, within the meaning of additional note 6 (combined nomenclature) to Chapter 20 // // // // 2204 // Wine of fresh grapes, including fortified wines; grape must other than that of code 2009: // // // // // Other grape must: // // // // // Other: // // // // ex 2204 30 91 // Of a density of 1,33 g/cm3 or less at 20 °C and of an actual alcoholic strength by volume not exceeding 1 % vol: // // // // // Concentrated, within the meaning of additional note 6 (combined nomenclature) to Chapter 20 // // // // // // //
Within the limits of this tariff quota the Kingdom of Spain shall apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Protocol to the Association Agreement betwen the European Economic Community and the Republic of Cyprus consequent on the accession of the Kingdom of Spain and of the Portuguese Republic to the Community.
2. If an importer gives notification of imminent imports of the products in question into a Member State and applies to take advantage of the quota, the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission and draw an amount corresponding to its requirements to the extent that the available balance of the 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) enable imports to be charged without interruption against their accumulated shares of the Community quota.
2. Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the product concerned have free access to the quota for such time 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 with the customs authorities 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 cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.
This Regulation shall entre into force on 1 March 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 |

Having regard to the request submitted by the Federal Republic of Germany,
Whereas in the Federal Republic of Germany the production of seed of Quercus pedunculata and Quercus sessiliflora satisfying the requirements laid down in Directive 71/161/EEC was insufficient in 1986 and is not adequate to supply the Federal Republic of Germany's needs;
Whereas it has not been possible to cover those needs satisfactorily at this stage by the use of seed from other Member States, or even from non-member countries, satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive;
Whereas, by Decision 87/163/EEC (3), the Commission authorized the Federal Republic of Germany to permit, until 28 February 1987, the marketing on its territory of a maximum of 20 000 kilograms of seed of Quercus pedunculata Ehrh and 40 000 kilograms of seed of Quercus sessiliflora Sal. subject to less stringent requirements;
Whereas, at 28 February 1987, the Federal Republic of Germany had been unable to make full use of this authorization but is expected to do so by 30 April 1988;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to amend the expiry date of the said authorization;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
Decision 87/163/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Article 1, ´28 February 1987' is replaced by ´30 April 1988'.

amending Regulation (EC) No 1673/2000, as regards the processing aid for flax and hemp grown for fibre, and Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003, as regards hemp eligible for the single payment scheme
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 37(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas:
(1) Article 15(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1673/2000 of 27 July 2000 on the common organisation of the markets in flax and hemp grown for fibre (2) requires the Commission to present a report to the European Parliament and the Council on processing aid, if necessary accompanied by proposals. On the basis of that report, it is appropriate for the current system to remain in force up to and including the marketing year 2007/2008.
(2) The processing aid for short flax fibre and hemp fibre containing not more than 7,5 % impurities and shives applies until the 2005/2006 marketing year. Nevertheless, in view of the favourable trends on the market for this kind of fibre under the current aid scheme and in order to contribute to consolidating innovative products and their market outlets, application of this aid should be extended until the 2007/2008 marketing year.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 1673/2000 provides for an increase in the level of processing aid for long flax fibre from the 2006/2007 marketing year onwards. Since the processing aid for short fibres is maintained until the 2007/2008 marketing year, the processing aid for long flax fibre should be limited to the present level until the 2007/2008 marketing year.
(4) In order to promote the production of high-quality short flax and hemp fibres, the aid is granted to fibres containing a maximum of 7,5 % of impurities and shives. However, Member States may derogate from this limit and grant processing aid for short flax fibre containing a percentage of impurities and shives of between 7,5 % and 15 % and for hemp fibre containing a percentage of impurities and shives of between 7,5 % and 25 %. Since this possibility is open only until the 2005/2006 marketing year, it is necessary to give Member States the possibility to derogate from that limit for two more marketing years.
(5) In order to continue to ensure reasonable production levels in each Member State, it is necessary to extend the period in which the national guaranteed quantities apply.
(6) Additional aid has been supporting the continuation of traditional production of flax in certain regions of the Netherlands, Belgium and France. It is necessary to extend this transitional aid until the 2007/2008 marketing year, in order to continue enabling gradual adaptation of farm structures to the new market conditions.
(7) The Commission should submit a report to the European Parliament and the Council in sufficient time before the beginning of the 2008/2009 marketing year in order to assess whether the present system needs to be adapted or should continue.
(8) Article 52 of 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 (3) provides that only hemp grown for fibre is eligible for the single payment scheme established under Title III of that Regulation. It is appropriate to make the cultivation of hemp for other industrial uses also eligible.
(9) Taking account of the yearly management of direct payments, it is appropriate that the modifications to the eligibility conditions of the single payment scheme apply from 1 January 2007.
(10) Regulations (EC) No 1673/2000 and (EC) No 1782/2003 should be amended accordingly,
Regulation (EC) No 1673/2000 is hereby amended as follows:
1. in Article 2, paragraph 3 shall be replaced by the following:
(a) for long flax fibre:
— EUR 100 for the 2001/2002 marketing year,
— EUR 160 for the 2002/2003 to 2007/2008 marketing years,
— EUR 200 from the 2008/2009 marketing year onwards,
(b) for short flax fibre and hemp fibre containing not more than 7,5 % impurities and shives: EUR 90 for the 2001/2002 to 2007/2008 marketing years.
— for short flax fibre containing a percentage of impurities and shives of between 7,5 % and 15 %,
— for hemp fibre containing a percentage of impurities and shives of between 7,5 % and 25 %.
2. in Article 3(2), the second subparagraph shall be replaced by the following:
3. in the first paragraph of Article 4, ‘2005/2006’ shall be replaced by ‘2007/2008’;
4. Article 12 shall be deleted;
5. the following paragraph shall be added to Article 15:
Article 52 of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 shall be replaced by the following:
‘Article 52
Production of hemp
1. In case of production of hemp, the varieties used shall have a tetrahydrocannabinol content not exceeding 0,2 %. Member States shall establish a system for verifying the tetrahydrocannabinol content of the crops grown on at least 30 % of the areas on hemp. However, if a Member State introduces a system of prior approval for such cultivation, the minimum shall be 20 %.
2. In accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 144(2), the granting of payments shall be made subject to the use of certified seeds of certain varieties.’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply as of the date of entry into force, with the exception of Article 2 which shall apply from 1 January 2007.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas, pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 3831/90, customs duties on certain products originating in each of the countries of territories listed in Annex III are totally suspended and the products as such are, as a general rule, subject to statistical surveillance every three months on the reference base referred to in Article 8;
Whereas, as provided for in Article 8, where the increase of preferential imports of these products, originating in one or more beneficiary country, causes or threatens to cause economic difficulties in the Community or in a region of the Community, the levying of customs duties may be reintroduced, once the Commission has had an appropriate exchange of information with the Member States; whereas for this purpose the reference base to be considered is equal, as a general rule, to 6,615 % of the total importations into the Community, originating from third countries in 1988;
Whereas, in the case of the products of the combined nomenclature code and origin indicated in the table below, the reference base is fixed at the levels indicated in that table:

Whereas that reference base was reached on 30 April 1994 by charges of imports into the Community of the products in question originating in Brazil; whereas the exchange of information organized by the Commission has demonstrated that continuance of the preference threatens to cause economic difficulties in a region of the Community; whereas, therefore, customs duties must be reintroduced for the products in question,
As from 28 June 1994, the levying of customs duties, suspended from 1 January 1994 to 30 June 1994 in pursuance of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3831/90 shall be reintroduced on imports into the Community of the products indicated in the table below:

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1641/2006
of 6 November 2006
establishing a prohibition of fishing for cod in ICES zone IIa (EC waters) and IV by vessels flying the flag of Sweden
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the common fisheries policy (1), and in particular Article 26(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to common fisheries policy (2), and in particular Article 21(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 51/2006 of 22 December 2005 fixing for 2006 the fishing opportunities and associated conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks applicable in Community waters and for Community vessels, in waters where catch limitations are required (3), lays down quotas for 2006.
(2) According to the information received by the Commission, catches of the stock referred to in the Annex to this Regulation by vessels flying the flag of or registered in the Member State referred to therein have exhausted the quota allocated for 2006.
(3) It is therefore necessary to prohibit fishing for that stock and its retention on board, transhipment and landing,
Quota exhaustion
The fishing quota allocated to the Member State referred to in the Annex to this Regulation for the stock referred to therein for 2006 shall be deemed to be exhausted from the date set out in that Annex.
Prohibitions
Fishing for the stock referred to in the Annex to this Regulation by vessels flying the flag of or registered in the Member State referred to therein shall be prohibited from the date set out in that Annex. It shall be prohibited to retain on board, tranship or land such stock caught by those vessels after that date.

REGULATION (EC) No 1523/2007 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 11 December 2007
banning the placing on the market and the import to, or export from, the Community of cat and dog fur, and products containing such fur
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 95 and 133 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),
Whereas:
(1) In the perception of EU citizens, cats and dogs are considered to be pet animals and therefore it is not acceptable to use their fur or products containing such fur. Evidence exists of the presence in the Community of non-labelled fur from cats and dogs and of products containing such fur. As a consequence, consumers have become concerned about the possibility that they could buy cat and dog fur, and products containing such fur. On 18 December 2003 (3), the European Parliament adopted a declaration expressing its concerns about the trade in such fur and products and requesting that it be ended so as to restore the confidence of EU consumers and retailers. During its meetings of 17 November 2003 and 30 May 2005, the Agriculture and Fisheries Council also highlighted the need to adopt rules on the trade in cat and dog fur, and products containing such fur as soon as possible.
(2) It is appropriate to clarify that only fur of species of domestic cats and dogs should be covered by this Regulation. However, as it is scientifically impossible to differentiate fur of domestic cats from fur of other non-domestic cat subspecies, a definition of cat as ‘felis silvestris’, which includes also non-domestic cat subspecies, should be adopted in this Regulation.
(3) In response to consumer concern, several Member States have adopted legislation aiming at preventing the production and marketing of fur from cats and dogs.
(4) There are differences between Member States' provisions governing the trade, import, production and labelling of fur and fur products, with the aim of preventing cat and dog fur from being put on the market or otherwise used for commercial purposes. Whilst some Member States have adopted a total ban on the production of fur from cats and dogs by banning the rearing or the slaughter of such animals for fur production purposes, others have adopted restrictions on the production or import of fur and products containing such fur. In some Member States, labelling requirements have been introduced. Citizens' increasing awareness of the issue is likely to prompt more Member States to adopt further restrictive measures at national level.
(5) As a result, certain EU fur traders introduced a voluntary code of conduct to refrain from trading in cat and dog fur, and products containing such fur. However, this code has proved insufficient to prevent the importation and sale of cat and dog fur, particularly where fur traders deal in fur whose species of origin is not indicated and not easily recognizable, or purchase products containing such fur and are confronted with the risk either that the products in question cannot legally be traded in one or more of the Member States or that trade in one or more Member States is subject to additional requirements aimed at preventing the use of cat and dog fur.
(6) The differences between national measures as regards cat and dog fur constitute barriers to the fur trade in general. Those measures impede the smooth operation of the internal market, since the existence of diverse legal requirements hamper fur production in general and make it more difficult for fur legally imported to, or produced in, the Community to circulate freely within the Community. The diverse legal requirements across the Member States lead to additional burdens and costs for fur traders.
(7) Moreover, the public is confused by the diversity of legal requirements in the Member States, which itself creates an impediment to trade.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation should therefore harmonise the rules across the Member States as regards banning the sale, offer for sale and distribution of cat and dog fur, and products containing such fur, and thereby prevent the disturbance of the internal market for all other similar products.
(9) To eliminate the present fragmentation of the internal market there is a need for harmonisation where the most effective and proportionate instrument to counter the barriers to trade resulting from diverging national requirements would be a ban on the placing on the market and on the import to, or export from, the Community of cat and dog fur, and products containing such fur.
(10) A labelling requirement would not be suitable to achieve the same result since it would disproportionately burden the garment industry, including traders who specialise in faux fur, and would also be disproportionately costly in cases where fur represents only a tiny part of the product.
(11) There is no tradition of rearing cats and dogs for fur production purposes in the Community, although instances of manufacturing cat and dog fur have been noted. It appears in fact that the vast majority of cat and dog fur products in the Community originate from third countries. Thus, in order to be more effective, the ban on intra-Community trade should be accompanied by a ban on imports of the same products into the Community. Such an import ban would also respond to concerns expressed by consumers as to the possible introduction into the Community of fur from cats and dogs, especially since there are indications that those animals may be kept and slaughtered inhumanely.
(12) A ban on exports should also ensure that cat and dog fur, and products containing such fur are not produced in the Community for export.
(13) However, it is appropriate to provide for the possibility of limited derogations from the general ban on the placing on the market and on the import to or export from the Community of cat and dog fur, and products containing such fur. Such is the case in relation to cat and dog fur imported and placed on the market for educational or taxidermy purposes.
(14) Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) lays down animal and public health rules for the placing on the market and the import or export of animal by-products, including cat and dog fur. It is therefore appropriate to clarify the scope of this Regulation, which should be the only act to apply to the placing on the market and the import or export of cat and dog fur at all stages of production, including raw fur. However, this Regulation should not affect the obligations under Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 concerning the disposal of cat and dog fur for public health reasons.
(15) Measures for the ban of the use of cats and dogs for fur production should be enforced uniformly across the Community. However, the techniques currently used to identify cat and dog fur, such as DNA testing, microscopy and MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry, vary from one Member State to another. It is appropriate for information regarding such techniques to be made available to the Commission, so that enforcement bodies are kept abreast of innovations in this field and so that the possibilities for prescribing a uniform technique can be assessed.
(16) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (5).
(17) In particular, the Commission should be empowered to establish analytical methods to identify the species of origin of fur and exceptionally to adopt measures which derogate from the prohibitions laid down in this Regulation. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of this Regulation, inter alia, by supplementing it with new non-essential elements, they must be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.
(18) Member States should lay down rules on penalties applicable to infringements of the provisions of this Regulation and ensure that they are implemented. Those penalties should be effective, proportionate and dissuasive. In particular, Member States which seize consignments of cat and dog fur following the application of this Regulation should adopt laws allowing the confiscation and destruction of such consignments and the suspension or revocation of the import or export licences granted to the traders concerned. Member States should be encouraged to apply criminal sanctions where this is possible under their national law.
(19) Since the objective of this Regulation, namely the elimination of obstacles to the functioning of the internal market by harmonising at Community level national bans concerning the trade in cat and dog fur, and products containing such fur, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve that objective,
Objective
The purpose of this Regulation is to ban the placing on the market and the import to, or export from, the Community of cat and dog fur, and products containing such fur in order to eliminate obstacles to the functioning of the internal market and to restore consumer confidence in the fact that the fur products which consumers buy do not contain cat and dog fur.
Definitions
For the purpose of this Regulation, the following definitions shall apply:
1. ‘cat’ shall mean an animal of the species felis silvestris;
2. ‘dog’ shall mean an animal of the subspecies canis lupus familiaris;
3. ‘placing on the market’ shall mean the holding of cat and/or dog fur or a product containing such fur for the purpose of sale, which includes offer for sale, sale and distribution;
4. ‘import’ shall mean the release for free circulation within the meaning of Article 79 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (6), with the exception of imports of a non-commercial nature within the meaning of Article 45(2)(b) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 918/83 of 28 March 1983 setting up a Community system of reliefs from customs duty (7);
5. ‘export’ shall mean an export procedure allowing Community goods to leave the customs territory of the Community within the meaning of Article 161 of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92.
Prohibitions
The placing on the market and the import to, or export from, the Community of cat and dog fur, and products containing such fur shall be prohibited.
Derogations
By way of derogation from Article 3, the Commission may exceptionally adopt measures allowing the placing on the market or the import or export of cat and dog fur or products containing such fur for educational or taxidermy purposes.
Those measures, designed to amend non-essential elements of this Regulation and stipulating the conditions under which such derogations shall apply, shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 6(2).
Methods for identifying the species of origin of fur
Member States shall inform the Commission of the analytical methods they use to identify the species of origin of fur by 31 December 2008, and subsequently whenever required in the light of new developments.
The Commission may adopt measures establishing analytical methods to be used to identify the species of origin of fur. Those measures, designed to amend non-essential elements of this Regulation by supplementing it with new elements, shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 6(2) and included in an annex to this Regulation.

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 of 20 December 1992 establishing a Community system for fisheries and aquaculture (1), and in particular Article 8(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1627/94 of 27 June 1994 laying down general provisions concerning special fishing permits (2), and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Community has signed the United Nations' Convention on the Law of the Sea, which contains principles and rules relating to the conservation and management of the living resources within the exclusive economic zones of the coastal States and on the high seas;
Whereas the Convention on Future Multilateral Cooperation in the North West Atlantic Fisheries, hereinafter referred to as the NAFO Convention, was approved by the Council in Regulation (EEC) No 3179/78 (3) and entered into force on 1 January 1979; whereas the Regulatory Area as defined consists of that part of the Convention Area which lies beyond the areas in which coastal States exercise fisheries jurisdiction;
Whereas the NAFO Convention establishes a suitable framework for the rational conservation and management of the fishery resources of the Regulatory Area with a view to achieving the optimum utilization thereof; whereas, to this end, the Contracting Parties undertake to carry out joint measures;
Whereas the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization, hereafter referred to as NAFO, held its Annual Meeting from 15 to 19 September 1997 and, on that occasion, adopted recommendations for conservation and management measures in the Regulatory Area for 1998; whereas it is appropriate that these recommendations be implemented by the Community;
Whereas, in the light of the available scientific advice, the catches of certain species in certain parts of the Regulatory Area should be limited; whereas, in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92, it falls to the Council to establish the total allowable catches (TACs) by stock or group of stocks, the share available for the Community and the specific conditions under which catches must be made and to allocate the share available to the Community among the Member States;
Whereas, in order to ensure the conservation of fishery resources and their balanced exploitation, technical conservation measures must be defined, inter alia, for mesh sizes, the level of by-catches, authorized fish sizes and processed length equivalents;
Whereas in order to ensure sound management of the shrimp stock in NAFO area 3M, a system of fishing effort control should be maintained;
Whereas in order to ensure the conservation of the Greenland halibut stock, provisions should be made for the communication of effort plans for this fishery;

Whereas, within NAFO, the relevant TAC and quotas have been established on an annual basis and may not be exceeded and, therefore, they may not be subject to the provisions of Council Regulation (EC) No 847/96 of 6 May 1996 introducing additional conditions for year-to-year management of TACs and quotas (5);
Whereas, for imperative reasons of common interest, this Regulation shall apply from 1 January 1998,
Scope
1. Community vessels operating in the Regulatory Area and retaining on board fish from resources of that area shall do so in furtherance of the objectives and principles of the NAFO Convention.
2. With a view to ensuring through the joint action of the Contracting Parties the rational conservation and management of the fishery resources of the Regulatory Area for the purpose of achieving the optimum utilization thereof, this Regulation lays down:
- limits on catches;
- technical conservation measures;
- international control measures;
- provisions relating to the processing and transmission of certain scientific and statistical data.
Community participation
Member States shall forward to the Commission a list of all vessels registered in their ports or flying their flag which intend to take part in the fishing activities in the Regulatory Area not later than 20 January 1998 or, thereafter, at least 30 days before the intended commencement of such activity. The information forwarded shall include:
(a) name of vessel;
(b) official registration number of the vessel assigned by the competent national authorities;
(c) home port of the vessel;
(d) name of owner or charterer of the vessel;
(e) a declaration that the master has been provided with a copy of the regulations in force in the Regulatory Area;
(f) the principal species fished by the vessel in the Regulatory Area;
(g) the sub-areas where the vessel may be expected to fish.
Limits on catches
Catches in 1998 of the species set out in Annex I hereto by fishing vessels registered in the ports of Member States or flying their flag shall be limited, within the divisions of the Regulatory Area referred to in that Annex, to the quotas set out therein.
Management measures for shrimp
Fishing in 1998 for shrimp (Pandalus borealis) in division 3M of the Regulatory Area shall be subject to the limitations and conditions set out in Annex II.
Greenland halibut fishery
Member States shall inform the Commission of the fishing plan for their vessels fishing for Greenland halibut in the Regulatory Area not later than 20 January 1998 or, thereafter, at least 30 days before the intended commencement of such activity. The fishing plan shall identify, inter alia, the vessel or vessels which will engage in this fishery. The fishing plan shall represent the total fishing effort to be deployed with respect to this fishery in relation to the extent of the fishing opportunities available to the Member State making the notification.
Member States shall, no later than 31 December 1998, report to the Commission on the implementation of their fishing plans, including the number of vessels actually engaged in this fishery and the total number of days fished.
Redfish fishery
Member States shall report to the Commission every second Tuesday before 12 noon for the fortnight ending at 12 midnight on the previous Sunday the quantities of redfish caught by their vessels in division 3M of the Regulatory Area.
Technical measures
1. Mesh sizes
The use of trawl net having in any section thereof net meshes of dimensions less than 130 mm shall be prohibited for direct fishing of the species referred to in Annex III hereto. This mesh size shall be reduced to 60 mm for direct fishing of short-finned squid.
Vessels fishing for shrimp (Pandalus borealis) shall use nets with a minimum mesh size of 40 mm.
2. Attachments to nets
The use of any means or device other than those described in this paragraph which obstructs the meshes of a net or which diminishes their size shall be prohibited.
Canvas, netting or any other material may be attached to the underside of the cod-end in order to reduce or prevent damage.
Devices may be attached to the upper side of the cod-end provided that they do not obstruct the meshes of the cod-end. The use of top-side chafers shall be limited to those mentioned in Annex IV hereto.
Vessels fishing for shrimp (Pandalus borealis) shall use sorting grids or grates with a maximum spacing between bars of 22 mm.
3. By-catches
By-catches of the species listed in Annex I for which no quotas have been fixed by the Community for a part of the Regulatory Area and taken in that part when fishing directly for:
- one or more of the species listed in Annex I, or
- one or more of species other than those listed in Annex I,
may not exceed for each species on board 2 500 kg or 10 % by weight of all fish on board, whichever is the greater. However, in a part of the Regulatory Area where direct fishing of certain species is banned, by-catches of each of the species listed in Annex I may not exceed 1 250 kg or 5 % respectively.
For vessels fishing for shrimp (Pandalus borealis), in the event that total by-catches of all species listed in Annex I, in any haul exceed 5 % by weight, vessels shall immediately change fishing area (minimum 5-nautical-miles) in order to seek to avoid further by-catches of this species.
4. Minimum size of fish
Fish from the Regulatory Area which do not have the size required as set out in Annex V may not be processed, retained on board, transhipped, landed, transported, stored, sold, displayed or offered for sale, but shall be returned immediately to the sea. Where the quantity of caught fish not having the required size exceeds in certain fishing waters 10 % of the total quantity, the vessel must move away to a distance of at least 5-nautical-miles before continuing fishing. Any processed fish of a species for which a minimum fish size is set out in Annex V that is below a length equivalent set out in Annex VI, shall be deemed to originate from fish that is below the minimum fish size.
Control measures
1. In addition to complying with Articles 6, 8, 11 and 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93, masters of vessels shall enter in the logbook the information listed in Annex VII hereto.
In complying with Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93, Member States shall also inform the Commission of catches of species not subject to quota.
2. When fishing directly for one or more of the species listed in Annex III, vessels may not carry nets the mesh size of which is smaller than that laid down in Article 7(1). However, vessels fishing in the course of the same voyage in areas other than the Regulatory Area may keep such nets on board provided that these nets are securely lashed and stowed and are not available for immediate use, that is to say:
(a) nets shall be unshackled from their boards and their hauling or trawling cables and ropes;
(b) nets carried on or above the deck must be lashed securely to a part of the superstructure.
3. The masters of fishing vessels flying the flag of a Member State or registered in one of its ports shall, in respect of catches of the species listed in Annex I, keep:
(a) a logbook stating, by species and by processed product, the aggregate output; or
(b) a storage plan, by species, of products processed, indicating where they are located in the hold.
4. The captains of Community vessels, fishing for redfish in zone 3M, shall notify every second Monday to the competent authorities of the Member State, whose flag the vessel is flying or in which the vessel is registered, the quantities of redfish caught in zone 3M in the two-week period ending at 24.00 hrs the previous Sunday.
Masters of vessels must provide the necessary assistance to enable the quantities declared in the logbook and the processed products stored on board to be verified.

Whereas:
(1) By Commission Decision 2009/11/EC (2), the use of four methods for grading pig carcasses in Spain was authorised.
(2) Spain has stated that due to new technological developments and the development of new versions of two devices authorised in Spain it is necessary to calibrate those new devices in order to obtain new formulas for their use in Spain.
(3) In a significant group of slaughterhouses in Spain the number of slaughters does not exceed 500 pigs per week on yearly average basis. A method for pig carcass classification appropriate to their slaughter capacity is therefore needed.
(4) Spain has requested the Commission to authorise three new methods for grading pig carcasses on its territory and has presented a detailed description of the dissection trial, indicating the principles on which those methods are based, the results of its dissection trial and the equations used for assessing the percentage of lean meat in the protocol provided for in Article 23(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1249/2008 of 10 December 2008 laying down detailed rules on the implementation of the Community scales for the classification of beef, pig and sheep carcasses and the reporting of prices thereof (3).
(5) Examination of that request has revealed that the conditions for authorising those grading methods are fulfilled. Those grading methods should therefore be authorised in Spain.
(6) Decision 2009/11/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) Modifications of the apparatus or grading methods should not be allowed, unless they are explicitly authorised by Commission Implementing Decision.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of the Agricultural Markets,
Decision 2009/11/EC is amended as follows:
(1) Article 1 is replaced by the following:
(a) the “Fat-O-Meat’er (FOM)” apparatus and the assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 1 of the Annex;

of 4 December 2007
suspending the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1420/2007 on imports of silico-manganese originating in the People’s Republic of China and Kazakhstan
(2007/789/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (the basic Regulation), and in particular Article 14(4) thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) The Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1420/2007 (2), imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of silico-manganese (including ferro-silico-manganese) (SiMn) originating in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and Kazakhstan, falling within CN codes 7202 30 00 and ex 8111 00 11 (TARIC code 8111001110) (the product concerned). The rate of the anti-dumping duty is 8,2 % and 6,5 % for the product originating in the PRC and Kazakhstan respectively.
(2) Information on a change of market conditions, which occurred after the original investigation period, indicated in Regulation (EC) No 1420/2007, and which might justify the suspension of the measures imposed, in accordance with Article 14(4) of the basic Regulation, was obtained by the Commission. Consequently, the Commission examined whether such suspension was warranted.
B. GROUNDS
(3) Article 14(4) of the basic Regulation provides that, in the Community interest, anti-dumping measures may be suspended on the grounds that market conditions have temporarily changed to an extent that injury would be unlikely to resume as a result of such suspension, provided that the Community industry has been given an opportunity to comment and these comments have been taken into account. Article 14(4) further specifies that the anti-dumping measures concerned may be reinstated at any time if the reason for suspension is no longer applicable.
(4) Since the original investigation period, an increase in world prices for SiMn was observed, indicating a change of the market situation and conditions. In view of this, the Commission has carried out a further investigation to assess the recent evolution of volumes and prices of the product concerned for the period between 1 July 2006 and 30 September 2007 and their impact on the injury suffered by the Community industry as well as the overall Community interest.
(5) On the basis of the information gathered, it was established that market prices of SiMn on the Community market have increased after the original investigation period until the third quarter of year 2007 by around 69 %, i.e. from an average EUR 622/MT in the third quarter of year 2006 to an average EUR 1 051/MT in the third quarter of year 2007. In particular, a significant increase of around 42 % was to be observed between the second and the third quarter of year 2007. These trends can also be found in other major markets across the world as well as for imports of SiMn into the Community.
(6) SiMn is a key raw material used for the production of steel. The price increase described above can be attributed to the temporary supply shortages combined with a higher demand for SiMn due to increased demand for steel worldwide. Evidence from previous sudden price increases such as the one that occurred in year 2004 shows that such demand-supply imbalances in this market are of temporary nature. Prices tend to return to their long-term levels once the spare capacities for SiMn are fully utilised.
(7) Between the original investigation period and the period from 1 October 2006 to 30 September 2007 the market share of imports of SiMn originating in the PRC and Kazakhstan decreased by 0,6 percentage points to 9,8 % of the overall Community consumption. EC consumption has increased by 20 %.
(8) With regard to the Community industry, it is to be noted that since the original investigation period, the situation of the Community industry has improved. Between the original investigation period and the period from 1 October 2006 to 30 September 2007, the sales and production volumes have increased by 15 % and 19 % respectively. However, the market share of the Community industry decreased by 1,1 percentage points to 23,8 %. The profit situation improved significantly and the profitability of the Community industry reached 42 % in the third quarter of year 2007, thus substantially surpassing even the 5 % profit level established as appropriate by the original investigation.
(9) As indicated in recitals 157 to 163 of Regulation (EC) No 1420/2007, the imposition of measures in question was expected to have some negative, although limited, effects for users in the form of cost increases arising out of the possible need to arrange new or alternative supplies. Considering the temporary change in market conditions and that consequently the Community industry is currently not suffering injury, any negative effect on users could be removed by suspending the measures. Consequently, it can be concluded that the suspension is in the overall Community interest.
(10) Given the temporary change in market conditions, and in particular the high level of prices of SiMn existing on the Community market, which is far higher than the injurious price level found in the original investigation, together with the alleged demand-supply imbalance of the product concerned, it is considered that the injury linked to the imports of the product concerned originating in the PRC and Kazakhstan is unlikely to resume as a result of the suspension. It is therefore proposed to suspend for nine months the measures in force in accordance with Article 14(4) of the basic Regulation.
C. CONSULTATION OF COMMUNITY INDUSTRY
(11) Pursuant to Article 14(4) of the basic Regulation, the Commission has informed the Community industry of its intention to suspend the anti-dumping measures in question. The Community industry has been given an opportunity to comment and did not oppose the suspension of the anti-dumping measures.
D. CONCLUSION
(12) The Commission therefore considers that all requirements for suspending the anti-dumping duty imposed on the product concerned are met, in accordance with Article 14(4) of the basic Regulation. Consequently, the anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1420/2007 should be suspended for a period of nine months.
(13) The Commission will monitor the development of imports and the prices of the product concerned. Should a situation arise at any time in which increased volumes at dumped prices of the product concerned from the PRC and Kazakhstan resume and consequently cause injury to the Community industry, the Commission will take the necessary steps to reinstate the anti-dumping duty, taking into account the substantive rules that govern an injury assessment. An interim review pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation might be initiated, if appropriate,
The definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1420/2007 on imports of silico-manganese (including ferro-silico-manganese), originating in the People’s Republic of China and Kazakhstan, falling within CN codes 7202 30 00 and ex 8111 00 11 (TARIC code 8111001110) is hereby suspended for a period of nine months.
This Decision shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), and in particular Article 3(3) and 3a(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Decision 90/424/EEC lays down the procedures governing the Community’s financial contribution towards specific veterinary measures, including emergency measures. Decision 90/424/EEC, as amended by Decision 2006/53/EC (2), provides for a Community financial contribution to Member States to cover certain costs involved in taking measures to eradicate avian influenza.
(2) Outbreaks of avian influenza occurred in Germany in 2006. The emergence of that disease represents a serious risk to the Community’s livestock population. Under Article 3a(2) of Decision 90/424/EEC, Germany took measures to combat those outbreaks.
(3) The payment of a Community financial contribution must be made subject to the condition that the planned measures were actually implemented and that the competent authorities provided all the necessary information to the Commission within certain deadlines.
(4) Commission Regulation (EC) No 349/2005 of 28 February 2005 laying down rules on the Community financing of emergency measures and of the campaign to combat certain animal diseases under Council Decision 90/424/EEC (3), following the amendment of Decision 90/424/EEC by Decision 2006/53/EC, no longer covers avian influenza. It is therefore necessary to expressly provide in the present Decision that the granting of a financial contribution to Germany is subject to compliance with certain rules laid down in Regulation (EC) No 349/2005.
(5) Article 3a(3) of Decision 90/424/EEC provides that the Community financial contribution is to be 50 % of the eligible costs incurred by the Member State.
(6) Germany has fully complied with its technical and administrative obligations as set out in Articles 3(3) and 3a(2) of Decision 90/424/EEC. Germany has forwarded to the Commission information on the costs incurred in the framework of this outbreak on 14 March 2006 and thereafter continued to provide all necessary information on costs of compensation and operational expenditure.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Financial contribution from the Community
1. A financial contribution from the Community may be granted to Germany towards the costs incurred by that Member State in taking the measures referred to in Article 3a(2) of Decision 90/424/EEC to combat avian influenza in 2006.
The financial contribution shall be 50 % of the costs incurred that are eligible for Community funding.

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 443/2004(3) set the delivery obligations for cane sugar to be imported under the ACP Protocol and the Agreement with India for the 2003/2004 delivery period.
(2) The United Kingdom has submitted an application to transfer delivery obligations between the 2003/2004 and 2004/2005 delivery periods for Zimbabwe in order to correct an administrative error made when the import licence applications for that country were encoded. That error resulted in licences being actually issued for 6858,11 tonnes more than the delivery obligation fixed for Zimbabwe for the 2003/2004 delivery period.
(3) Since transferring 6858,11 tonnes from Zimbabwe's delivery obligation for 2004/2005 to its obligation for 2003/2004 will not disturb the supply arrangement referred to in Article 39 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, the delivery obligation set for Zimbabwe for the 2003/2004 delivery period should be amended.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,

Having regard to the request submitted by the French Republic,
Whereas in France the production of maize seed of certain varieties satisfying the requirements of Directive 66/402/EEC has been insufficient in 1991 and therefore is not adequate to meet that country's needs;
Whereas it is not possible to cover this demand satisfactorily with seed from other Member States, or from third countries, satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive;
Whereas France should therefore be authorized to permit for a period expiring on 31 May 1992, the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species of varieties not included in the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species, nor in that Member State's national catalogue of varieties, nor in other Member States' national catalogues of varieties;
Whereas, moreover, other Member States,which are able to supply France with such seed not satisfying the requirements of the said Directive should be authorized to permit the marketing of such seed provided it is intended for France;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
The French Republic is authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 31 May 1992, the marketing in its territory of a maximum of 210 tonnes of maize seed (Zea Mays L.) of varieties 'Waxy` having an FAO index not superior to 550 which are not included in the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species, nor in that Member State's national catalogue of varieties nor in other Member States' national catalogues of varieties.
The official label shall state: 'Intended exclusively for France`.
The other Member States are hereby authorized to permit, subject to the conditions laid down in Article 1, the marketing in their territory of a maximum of 210 tonnes of maize seed of the said varieties provided that it is intended exclusively for France.

(3) It is appropriate to allow the Member States to extend the period of validity of import authorisations for two periods of three months rather than one period.
(4) The provisions of the double-checking system for products subject to surveillance should contain the same possibilities of extending the periods of validity of import authorisations as those concerning the double-checking system for administering quantitative limits.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26 June 1964 on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine(1), and in particular Article 6(2)(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2000/330/EC of 18 April 2000 approving tests for the detection of antibodies against bovine brucellosis within the framework of Council Directive 64/432/EEC(2) has been substantially amended(3). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Decision should be codified.
(2) Bovine animals intended for intra-Community trade must, with regard to bovine brucellosis, come from a holding officially free of bovine brucellosis and, in addition, be tested within 30 days of dispatch by use of either a serum-agglutination test or any other test approved by the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health procedure following the adoption of the relevant protocols.
(3) In accordance with Article 16 of Directive 64/432/EEC, the Commission, in accordance with the procedures of Article 17 and on the basis of the opinion of the Scientific Committee on Veterinary Measures relating to Public Health, is to update and if necessary amend Annexes B, C and D (Chapter II) to adapt them to scientific developments.
(4) The Commission has received the final report of the Scientific Committee on Animal Health and Animal Welfare on the modification of the technical Annexes to Directive 64/432/EEC to take account of scientific developments regarding tuberculosis, brucellosis and enzootic bovine leucosis(4).
(5) In that report the Scientific Committee recommended the preferential use of ELISA tests, the complement fixation test and the buffered brucella antigen tests for the detection of antibodies against bovine brucellosis, carried out, inter alia, on samples of blood taken from individual bovine animals. The recommended procedures are in line with the internationally recognised standards set out by the Manual of standards for diagnostic tests and vaccines, third edition, 1996, of the Office International des Epizooties (OIE).
(6) In August 2001 the OIE published the fourth edition 2000 of the said manual, including certain modifications in the description of tests for brucellosis.
(7) It was therefore necessary to amend Annex C to Directive 64/432/EEC so as to lay down test procedures applicable for surveillance and trade purposes within the Community which reflect as much as possible the OIE standards but take also into account the advice of the Scientific Committee and of the national reference laboratories in the Member States cooperating within the framework of the European Union network of national reference laboratories for brucellosis.
(8) It appears appropriate to recognise for certification purposes the brucellosis test results produced by use of ELISA tests, the complement fixation test and the buffered brucella antigen tests, if the tests were carried out in accordance with the approved protocols on samples of blood taken from individually identified bovine animals within the 30 days prior to certification of the tested animals for intra-Community trade.
(9) Therefore, pending the update of the technical Annex D (Chapter II) in accordance with Article 16 of Directive 64/432/EEC, the ELISA tests, as specified in the report of the Scientific Committee, and the complement fixation test and the buffered brucella antigen tests, as specified in Annex C to that Directive, should be approved for brucellosis testing for certification purposes as provided for in Article 6(2)(b) and the animal health certificate in Annex F, model 1.
(10) 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 complement fixation test, the buffered brucella antigen tests and the ELISA tests carried out in accordance with the provisions in Annex C to Directive 64/432/EEC are hereby approved for certification purposes.
Where, for the purposes referred to in Article 6(2)(b) of Directive 64/432/EEC, a test referred to in Article 1 of this Decision is used, the test shall be specified in the column "Test" of the tables in point 3, second indent, and in point 5 of Section A in Annex F, Model 1 (health certificate) to Directive 64/432/EEC.

Having regard to a joint proposal from the European Commission and the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1599/96 (2), and in particular Article 8 (5) thereof,
Whereas Article 8 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that the storage costs for sugar and syrups shall be reimbursed at a flat rate by the Member States;
Whereas Article 6 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1358/77 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3042/78 (4), provides that the amount of the levy for Community sugar shall be calculated by dividing the total estimated reimbursement by the estimated quantity of sugar which will be marketed during the sugar marketing year in question; whereas the total estimated reimbursement is to be increased or decreased, as the case may be, by the amounts carried forward from previous marketing years;
Whereas Article 8 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that the monthly reimbursement amount shall be fixed by the Council simultaneously with the derived intervention prices; whereas that amount of reimbursement envisaged for 1998/1999 should be used for the purpose of calculating the amounts of the levy;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 1358/77, the quantity in store to be taken into account for the reimbursement of any one month's storage costs is equal to the arithmetic mean of the quantities held in store in the beginning and at the end of the month in question; whereas, for the 1998/1999 marketing year, the quantities of Community sugar in store each month may be estimated by reference to estimated stocks at the beginning of the marketing year, estimated monthly production and the quantities likely to be marketed for domestic consumption or exported during the same month; whereas total average monthly stocks during the 1998/1999 marketing year can be estimated at approximately 97 million tonnes of sugar expressed as white sugar; whereas the total reimbursement for Community sugar can thus be estimated at approximately ECU 370 million for the 1998/1999 marketing year; whereas the balance of previous sugar marketing years can be estimated at a positive amount of ECU 84 million; whereas the detailed rules for the application of the system of offsetting storage costs for sugar provide that the levy is to be fixed per 100 kilograms of white sugar; whereas the quantity of Community sugar which will be marketed during the 1998/1999 marketing year for home consumption or for export may be estimated at approximately 14 million tonnes of sugar expressed as white sugar; whereas the amount of the levy for Community sugar should therefore be ECU 2,00 per 100 kilograms of white sugar;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
For the 1998/1999 marketing year, the amount of the levy referred to under the second subparagraph of Article 8 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 is hereby fixed at ECU 2,00 per 100 kilograms of white sugar.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 1998.
