The refunds must be fixed taking account of restrictions under agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

| 14.6.2007 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 154/23
DECISION No 623/2007/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 23 May 2007
amending Directive 2002/2/EC amending Council Directive 79/373/EEC on the circulation of compound feedingstuffs
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 152(4)(b) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Having consulted the Committee of the Regions,
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),
Whereas:
(1) Article 1(1)(b) of Directive 2002/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), amended Council Directive 79/373/EEC of 2 April 1979 on the circulation of compound feedingstuffs (4). That provision added a point to Article 5(1) of Directive 79/373/EEC, requiring manufacturers of compound animal feedingstuffs to indicate, at the customer's request, the exact composition of a feedingstuff.
(2) The Court of Justice of the European Communities, in its judgment of 6 December 2005 in Joined Cases C-453/03, C-11/04, C-12/04 and C-194/04 (5), declared Article 1(1)(b) of Directive 2002/2/EC invalid, in the light of the principle of proportionality.
(3) Article 233 of the Treaty requires the institutions whose act has been declared void to take the necessary measures to comply with the judgment of the Court of Justice.
(4) The objective of ensuring feed safety is achieved, inter alia, through implementation of the provisions of Regulations (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6) and (EC) No 183/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council (7).
(5) A number of court rulings in the Member States have led to Directive 2002/2/EC being implemented differently and unevenly and various cases relating to it are currently pending before the respective national courts.
(6) The European Parliament and the Council are not at present making more far-reaching amendments to the basic legal act, since the Commission has promised, as part of a simplification programme, to draw up by mid-2007 proposals to overhaul feed legislation. They anticipate that the issue of the so-called ‘open declaration’ of ingredients will be fully reviewed in this context, and expect new proposals from the Commission taking account of both the interest of farmers in being provided with precise, detailed information on the feed materials contained in feedingstuffs and the interest of the industry in ensuring that business secrets are adequately protected.
(7) The second subparagraph of Article 12 of Directive 79/373/EEC, inserted by Article 1(5) of Directive 2002/2/EC, provides for an obligation on manufacturers of compound feedingstuffs to make available to the authorities responsible for carrying out official inspections, on request, any document concerning the composition of feedingstuffs intended to be put into circulation which enables the accuracy of the information given by the labelling to be verified.
(8) Directive 2002/2/EC should therefore be amended,
Directive 2002/2/EC is amended as follows:
1. Article 1(1)(b) shall be deleted;
2. in Article 1(6), the text of Article 15a of Directive 79/373/EEC shall be replaced by the following:
This Decision shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1287/95(2), and in particular Article 5(2) thereof,
After consulting the Committee of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund,
Whereas:
(1) Before the Commission determines a financial correction within the framework of a decision on the clearance of accounts, the Member State must be able, if it wishes, to seek recourse to the conciliation procedure established by Decision 94/442/EC of 1 July 1994 setting up a conciliation procedure in the context of the clearance of the accounts of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) Guarantee Section(3). In that case it is necessary that the Commission should examine, prior to its decision, the report drawn up by the conciliation body. The time limits laid down for that procedure had not expired, for all the eligible corrections, on the date of adoption of Commission Decision 2000/197/EC amending Decision 1999/187/EC on the clearance of the accounts presented by the Member States in respect of the expenditure for 1995 of the Guarantee Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF)(4), which has amended Decision 1999/187/EC of 3 February 1999 on the clearance of the accounts presented by the Member States in respect of the expenditure for 1995 of the Guarantee Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF)(5). Decisions 1999/596/EC and 2000/197/EC did not cover the corresponding amounts of expenditure declared by the Member States concerned in respect of 1995. The conciliation procedure has been completed for all of the financial corrections concerned. As a result, the expenditure relating thereto should be cleared by this Decision.
(2) Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 provides that the financial consequences arising from irregularities or negligence are not to be borne by the Community if they are the result of irregularities or negligence attributable to administrative authorities or other bodies of the Member States. Some of those financial consequences which cannot be borne by the Community budget should be included within the scope of this Decision.
(3) This Decision is without prejudice to any financial consequences which may be determined in any subsequent clearance of accounts in respect of State aid or infringements for which the procedures initiated under Articles 88 and 226 of the Treaty are now in progress or were terminated after 15 May 2000.
(4) This Decision is without prejudice to any financial consequences drawn by the Commission, during a subsequent accounts clearance procedure, from current investigations under way at the time of this Decision, from irregularities within the meaning of Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 or from judgments of the Court of Justice in cases pending on 15 May 2000 and relating to matters covered by this Decision,
The sections of the Annex to Decision 1999/187/EC relating to Belgium are replaced by the Annex to this Decision.
The additional amount of BEF 50763827 arising under point 3 of the Annex and chargeable by virtue of this Decision are to be taken into account as part of the expenditure referred to in Article 4(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 296/96 for the month of July 2000.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 of 28 December 1992 on the value of the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 150/95 (2), and in particular Article 6(2a) and Article 12 thereof,
Whereas Article 13(3) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1068/93 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1482/96 (4), provides that where the agricultural conversion rate is fixed in advance, the relevant certificate is only valid in a single Member State; whereas the limitation on the validity of certificates fixing the agricultural conversion rate in advance to the territory of a single Member State constitutes a derogation from the general rule whereby certificates are valid and can be used throughout the Community; whereas that limitation on the validity of certificates to a single Member State was introduced to prevent risks of speculation following the fixing in advance of the agricultural conversion rate;
Whereas it transpires that the objective can be achieved by less restrictive measures than those laid down by the arrangements in force; whereas the limitation of the validity of certificates fixing the agricultural conversion rate in advance to the territory of a single Member State should therefore be lifted and provision should be made at the same time for suitable measures to prevent speculation;
Whereas Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 1068/93 lays down the indications to be entered in certificate applications and in certificates relating to the limitation of the validity of certificates fixing the agricultural conversion rate in advance; whereas those indications should be deleted;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinions of the Management Committees concerned,
Regulation (EEC) No 1068/93 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 13(3) is replaced by the following:
'3. During the term of validity of advance fixing of the agricultural conversion rate and in order to qualify for the rate fixed in advance, certificates must be used in the Member State specified by the applicant at the time the application for advance fixing of the agricultural conversion rate is submitted.
Where certificates are used in the Member State other than that specified on the certificate by the applicant, the agricultural conversion rate to be applied shall be:
- the lowest rate applied in the Member State of utilisation of the certificate from the date of advance fixing of the rate until the date of utilisation of the certificate, less 5 %, where an amount to be granted to the operators is concerned,
- the highest rate applied in the Member State of utilisation of the certificate from the date of advance fixing of the rate until the date of utilisation of the certificate, plus 5 %, where an amount to be paid by the operator is concerned.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
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 1101/95 (2), and in particular Articles 28 (8) and 28a (5) thereof,
Whereas Article 7 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1443/82 of 8 June 1982 laying down detailed rules for the application of the quota system in the sugar sector (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 392/94 (4), provides that the basic production levy and the B levy together with, if required, the coefficient referred to in Article 28a (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 for sugar, isoglucose and inulin syrup are to be fixed before 15 October in respect of the preceding marketing year;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 2201/94 (5) increased, for the 1994/95 marketing year, the maximum amount referred to in the first indent of Article 28 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 to 37,5 % of the intervention price for white sugar;
Whereas the estimated total loss recorded in accordance with Article 28 (1) and (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 necessitates the retention, in respect of the amounts of the production levies applicable for the 1994/95 marketing year, of the maximum amounts referred to in Article 28 of the said Regulation adjusted, where applicable, by Regulation (EC) No 2201/94;
Whereas Article 28a (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that an additional levy is to be charged to manufacturers when the total loss recorded pursuant to Article 28 (1) and (2) of the said Regulation is not fully covered by the receipts from the production levies; whereas the total uncovered loss for the 1994/95 marketing year amounts to ECU 41 375 582, whereas the coefficient referred to in Article 28a (2) of the said Regulation should consequently be fixed at 0,05614 which represents for the Community as a whole the ratio between the total loss recorded for the 1994/95 marketing year pursuant to Article 28 (1) and (2) of the said Regulation and the receipts from the basic production levy and the B levy for that marketing year, the ratio being reduced by 1;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The production levies in the sugar sector for the 1994/95 marketing year are hereby fixed as follows:
(a) ECU 1,2638 per 100 kilograms of white sugar as the basic production levy on A sugar and B sugar;
(b) ECU 23,6963 per 100 kilograms of white sugar as the B levy on B sugar;
(c) ECU 0,5330 per 100 kilograms of dry matter as the basic production levy on A isoglucose and B isoglucose;
(d) ECU 9,9425 per 100 kilograms of dry matter as the B levy on B isoglucose;

31991D0311 | 91/311/EEC: Council Decision of 24 June 1991 providing medium-term financial assistance for Bulgaria
| COUNCIL DECISION of 24 June 1991 providing medium-term financial assistance for Bulgaria (91/311/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 235 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1), submitted following consultation with the Monetary Committee,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas Bulgaria is undertaking fundamental political and economic reforms and has decided to adopt a market economy model;
Whereas the said reforms are already under implementation and their financial support from the Community will strengthen mutual confidence and bring Bulgaria closer to the Community;
Whereas, following the changes in the international environment, the Bulgarian economy is in deep recession and facing external shocks which might sharply deteriorate its balance of payments and weaken its precarious reserve position; whereas a particularly heavy external debt burden makes the Bulgarian economy even more exposed to the said external shocks;
Whereas the Bulgarian authorities have requested financial assistance from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Group of 24 industrial countries and the Community; whereas, over and above the estimated financing which could be provided by the IMF and the World Bank, a financial gap of some ECU 580 million remains to be covered in 1991, in order to prevent a further erosion of Bulgaria's reserve position and avoid an additional degree of import compression, which could seriously jeopardize the achievement of the policy objectives underlying the Government's reform effort;
Whereas the success of the reform process in Bulgaria will depend crucially on the solution of the acute debt problem which faces the country; whereas the grant to Bulgaria of medium-term financial assistance should be conditional upon the adoption by the Paris Club of a rescheduling arrangement on Bulgaria's official debt and the adoption by Bulgaria's commercial bank creditors of a deferral arrangement on debt servicing payments;
Whereas the Commission, as coordinator of assistance from the Group of 24 industrial countries, has invited them and other third countries to provide medium-term financial assistance to Bulgaria;
Whereas the grant by the Community of a medium-term loan to Bulgaria is an appropriate measure to support that country's balance of payments and strengthen its reserve position;
Whereas the question of the risks associated with guarantees from the general budget of the European Communities will be examined in the context of the renewal in 1992 of the Interinstitutional Agreement on budgetary discipline and improvement of the budgetary procedure;
Whereas the Community loan should be managed by the Commission;
Whereas the Treaty does not provide, for the adoption of this Decision, powers other than those of Article 235,
1. The Community shall grant to Bulgaria a medium-term loan facility of a maximum amount of ECU 290 million in principal, with a maximum duration of seven years, with a view to ensuring a sustainable balance-of-payments situation and strengthening the reserve position.
2. To this end, the Commission is empowered to borrow, on behalf of the Community, the necessary resources that will be placed at the disposal of Bulgaria in the form of a loan.
3. This loan will be managed by the Commission in full consultation with the Monetary Committee and in a manner consistent with any Agreement reached between the IMF and Bulgaria.
1. The Commission is empowered to negotiate with the Bulgarian authorities, after consultation with the Monetary Committee, the economic policy conditions attached to the loan. These conditions shall be consistent with any agreements as referred to in Article 1 (3) and with arrangements made by the Group of 24.
2. The Commission shall verify at regular intervals, in collaboration with the Monetary Committee and in close coordination with the Group of 24 and the IMF, that the economic policy in Bulgaria is in accordance with the objectives of this loan and that its conditions are being fulfilled.
1. The loan shall be made available to Bulgaria in two instalments. The first instalment shall be released as soon as:
- a 'Stand-by Arrangement' has been concluded between Bulgaria and the IMF;
- a rescheduling agreement on official debt has been concluded between Bulgaria and its Paris Club creditors;
- a deferral of the commercial debt servicing payments has been concluded between Bulgaria and its commercial bank creditors, and progress has been made with a view to concluding a long-term rescheduling agreement for this debt.
2. The second instalment shall be released after a period of at least two quarters, subject to Article 2 (2).
3. The funds shall be paid to the National Bank of Bulgaria.
1. The borrowing and lending operations referred to in Article 1 shall be carried out using the same value date and must not involve the Community in the transformation of maturities, in any exchange or interest-rate risk, or in any other commercial risk.
2. The Commission shall take the necessary steps, if Bulgaria so decides, to include in the loan conditions, and also to exercise, an early repayment clause.
3. At the request of Bulgaria, and where circumstances permit an improvement in the interest rate on the loans, the Commission may refinance all or part of its initial borrowings or restructure the corresponding financial conditions. Refinancing or restructuring operations shall be carried out in accordance with the conditions set out in paragraph 1 and shall not have the effect of extending the average duration of the borrowing concerned or increasing the amount, expressed at the current exchange rate, of capital outstanding at the date of the refinancing or restructuring.
4. All related costs incurred by the Community in concluding and carrying out the operation under this Decision shall be borne by Bulgaria.
5. The Monetary Committee shall be kept informed of developments in the operations referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3 at least once a year.
At least once a year the Commission shall address to the European Parliament and to the Council a report, which will include an evaluation, on the implementation of this Decision. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

setting the export refunds for nuts (shelled almonds, hazelnuts in shell, shelled hazelnuts and walnuts in shell) using system A1
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 35(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001 (2) sets detailed rules covering export refunds on fruit and vegetables.
(2) Under Article 35(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 refunds can be granted on products exported by the Community, to the extent necessary to enable economically significant quantities to be exported and within the limits ensuing from agreements concluded in line with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(3) In line with Article 35(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 care should be taken to ensure that trade flows already engendered by the granting of refunds are not disturbed. For that reason and given the seasonal nature of fruit and vegetable exports quantities should be set product by product using the agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (3). In setting quantities account must be taken of perishability.
(4) Article 35(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 stipulates that when refunds are set account is to be taken of the existing situation and outlook for prices and availability of fruit and vegetables on the Community market and for international trade prices, of marketing and transport costs and of the economic aspects of the exportation envisaged.
(5) Article 35(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 requires Community market prices to be determined using the prices that are most favourable from the point of view of exportation.
(6) The international trade situation or specific requirements of certain markets may necessitate differentiation of the refund on a given product by destination.
(7) Economically significant exports can at present be made of shelled almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts in shell.
(8) Since nuts have a relatively long storage life export refunds can be set at longer intervals.
(9) In order to permit the best possible use of available resources the export refunds should, given the structure of exportation from the Community, be set using system A1.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
1. Export refund rates for nuts, the period for lodging licence applications and the quantities permitted are stipulated in the Annex hereto.
2. Licences for food aid purposes issued as indicated in Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 (4) shall not be counted against the quantities indicated in the Annex hereto.
3. Without prejudice to Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001, the type A1 licences shall be valid for three months.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 24 June 2007.
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 Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC(1), and in particular Article 18(6) and (7) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries(2), and in particular Article 22(1) and (6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Avian influenza is a highly contagious viral disease in poultry and birds, which can quickly take epizootic proportions liable to present a serious threat to animal and public health and to reduce sharply the profitability of poultry farming.
(2) There is a risk that the disease agent might be introduced via international trade in live poultry and poultry products.
(3) On 23 February 2004 the United States of America have confirmed one outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza in a poultry flock in the State of Texas (Gonzales County), which has been detected as positive during surveillance carried out on 17 February 2004.
(4) This detected avian influenza virus strain is of subtype H5N2 and therefore different from the strain currently causing the epidemic in Asia. Current knowledge suggests that the risk for public health in relation to this subtype is inferior to the risk of the strain circulating in Asia, which is an H5N1 virus subtype.
(5) However, in view of the animal health risk of disease introduction into the Community, imports of live poultry, ratites, farmed and wild feathered game birds and hatching eggs of these species and of fresh meat of poultry, ratites, wild and farmed feathered game, meat preparations and meat products consisting of, or containing meat of those species, obtained from birds slaughtered after 27 January 2004, and imports of eggs for human consumption, have been suspended from the United States of America as of 25 February 2004 by Commission Decisions 2004/187/EC(3), 2004/256/EC(4), and by Decision 2004/274/EC(5) of 23 March 2004.
(6) Commission Decision 94/984/EC of 20 December 1994 laying down animal health conditions and veterinary certificates for the importation of fresh poultrymeat from certain third countries(6), Commission Decision 96/482/EC of 12 July 1996 laying down animal health conditions and veterinary certificates for the importation of poultry and hatching eggs other than ratites and eggs thereof from third countries including animal health measures to be applied after such importation(7), Commission Decision 2000/585/EC drawing up a list from which Member States authorise imports of rabbit meat and certain wild and farmed game meat, and laying down the animal and public health and the veterinary certification conditions for such imports(8), Commission Decision 2000/609/EC of 29 September 2000 laying down animal and public health conditions and veterinary certification for imports of farmed ratite meat(9) and Commission Decision 2001/751/EC of 16 October 2001 laying down animal health conditions and veterinary certification for imports of live ratites and hatching eggs thereof from third countries including animal health measures to be applied after such importation, amending Commission Decision 95/233/EC drawing up a list of third countries from which the Member States authorise imports of live poultry and hatching eggs and amending Commission Decision 96/659/EC on protective measures in relation to Crimean Congo haemorrhagic fever(10) respectively require that the veterinary authorities of the United States of America, before dispatching live poultry and hatching eggs, live ratites and hatching eggs, fresh meat of poultry, ratites, farmed and wild feathered game certify that the United States of America are free from avian influenza. The veterinary authorities of the United States of America had therefore to suspend all certification following that outbreak.
(7) The certificates for meat products and meat preparations consisting of or containing poultry meat are laid down in Commission Decision 97/221/EC of 28 February 1997 laying down the animal health conditions and model veterinary certificates in respect of imports of meat products from third countries and revoking Decision 91/449/EEC(11) and Commission Decision 2000/572/EC of 8 September 2000 laying down animal and public health conditions and veterinary certification for imports of minced meat and meat preparations from third countries and repealing Decision 97/29/EC(12) and make reference to the animal health requirements set out in Decision 94/984/EC for fresh poultrymeat.
(8) Commission Decision 97/222/EC(13), lays down the list of third countries from which Member States may authorise the importation of meat products, and establishes treatment regimes in order to prevent the risk of disease transmission via such products. The treatment that must be applied to the product depends on the health status of the country of origin, in relation to the species the meat is obtained from; in order to avoid an unnecessary burden on trade, imports of poultrymeat products originating in the United States of America treated to a temperature of at least 70 °Celsius throughout the product should continue to be authorised.
(9) Sanitary control measures applicable to raw material for the manufacture of animal feedingstuffs and pharmaceutical or technical products allow the exclusion from the scope of this Decision of channelled imports of such products.
(10) The United States of America have signed an Agreement with the European Community on sanitary measures to protect public and animal health in trade in live animals and animal products(14).
(11) The United States of America have communicated additional information on the epidemiological situation and the control measures taken to confine the disease, with a view to obtain the implementation by the Community of regionalisation measures in accordance with the provisions in the Veterinary Agreement; in the light of this information, Community measures can be reduced to Texas, only.
(12) Decision 2004/274/EC should be repealed.
(13) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee of the Food Chain and Animal Health,
1. Member States shall only authorise the importation from the United States of America of live poultry and hatching eggs thereof, live ratites and hatching eggs thereof, fresh meat of poultry, ratites, farmed and wild feathered game, meat products and meat preparations consisting of or containing meat of any of those species and of eggs for human consumption, if they originate in, or come from, the region of the United States of America as described in the Annex.

(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 as regards the arrangements for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice (2) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the amount of such refunds.
(3) That calculation must also take account of the cereal products content. In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of ‘cereal products’, namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for ‘other cereals’, these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.
(4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.
(5) The current situation on the cereals market and, in particular, the supply prospects mean that the export refunds should be abolished.
(6) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 April 2005.

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The additive narasin (Monteban, Monteban G 100), belonging to the group of coccidiostats and other medicinal substances, was authorised under certain conditions in accordance with Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2). Commission Regulation (EC) No 1464/2004 (3) authorised that additive for 10 years for use for chickens for fattening, linking the authorisation to the person responsible for putting that additive into circulation. That additive was notified as an existing product on the basis of Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. Since all the information required under that provision was submitted, that additive was entered into the Community Register of Feed Additives.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the possibility to modify the authorisation of an additive further to a request from the authorisation holder and an opinion of the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’).
(3) In its opinion adopted on 27 July 2004, the Authority proposed to establish a maximum residue limit (MRL) of 50 μg/kg for all wet tissues in chickens for fattening. Consequently a withdrawal time of one day before the slaughter was considered sufficient. It may be necessary to review the maximum residue limit mentioned in the Annex of this Regulation in light of the results of any evaluation by the European Medicines Agency concerning the active substance.
(4) The holder of the authorisation of the additive narasin (Monteban, Monteban G 100) proposed changing the terms of the authorisation by submitting an application to the Commission requesting to introduce MRL as evaluated by the Authority.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 1464/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

Whereas, by letter dated 11 February 1981, Denmark has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "ESL-Interactive digital image manipulation system, IDIMS III", to be used for research into glaciology, geology, biology, oceanography and in particular for analyzing the digital, multi-channel data recorded by experimental satellites or telemetering aircrafts, should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 26 May 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 image analyzer;
Whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research ; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus, whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,
The apparatus described as "ESL-Interactive digital image manipulation system, IDIMS III", which is the subject of an application by Denmark of 11 February 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Whereas the forward estimate drawn up for the 1985/86 wine year indicates that the amounts of table wine available at the beginning of the wine year exceeds by more than four months' supply those normally used up over the year; whereas the conditions for authorization of long-term storage contracts specified in Article 7 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 are therefore met;
Whereas the forward estimate indicates the existence of surpluses for all types of table wine and for table wines which stand in close economic relationship to those types of table wine; whereas it should therefore be made possible for long-term contracts to be concluded for those types of table wine; whereas it is necessary for the same reasons to open this possibility for grape must, concentrated grape must and rectified concentrated grape must;
Whereas Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 provides that only producers fulfilling the obligations laid down in Article 39 and, where appropriate, Articles 40 and 41 of that Regulation during a reference period to be determined may qualify for the intervention measures; whereas that period must therefore be specified;
Whereas the first subparagraph of Article 6 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1059/83 on storage contracts for table wine, grape must, concentrated grape must and rectified concentrated grape must (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2850/85 (4), specifies that table wines eligible for long-term storage contracts shall be classified into two categories on the basis of their characteristics with regard to quality; whereas minimum quality characteristics commensurate with the quality of the 1985 harvest should be fixed for each category;
Whereas it is necessary, for the purposes of possible implementation of Article 12a of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79, to know the maximum quantity of table wine subject to storage contract which may be distilled as provided for in the said Article; whereas producers should therefore be requried to provide intervention agencies with the necessary information, which they are then to pass on to the Commission;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
1. During the period 16 December 1985 to 15 February 1986 private long-term storage contracts may be concluded, in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 1059/83, for:
- all types of table wine and for table wines in close economic relationship to such table wine, provided that the conditions of Article 6 of that Regulation are met, and
- grape must, concentrated grape must and rectified concentrated grape must.
2. In accordance with Article 6 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79, producers who were subject to the obligations referred to in Articles 39, 40 or 41 of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 during the 1984/85 wine year shall not be entitled to benefit from the measures provided for in this Regulation unless they provide evidence that they have complied with their obligations during the reference periods laid down in Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2461/84 (5), Article 13 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2462/84 (6) and Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 147/85 (7).
The minimum quality conditions that must be met for the two categories of wine referred to in Article 6 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1059/83 are set out in the Annexes to this Regulation.
1. Producers who, within the limits specified in the first indent of the first subparagraph of Article 5 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1059/83, wish to conclude a long-term storage contract for a table wine shall, when submitting the application for conclusion of a contract, advise the intervention agency of the total quantity of table wine they have produced during the current wine year.
For this purpose the producer shall submit a copy of the production declaration(s) drawn up pursuant to Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2102/84 (1).
2. The Member States shall communicate to the Commission, not later than 10 May 1986, the maximum quantity of table wine subject to long-term storage contract which may be distilled as provided for in Article 12a (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1141/97 (2), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2406/97 (3), lays down detailed rules as regards the labelling of beef and beef products;
Whereas in view of the fact of practical problems with the implementation of the labelling scheme in Member States and, in particular, that very few third countries have transmitted complete notifications to the Commission and are therefore not able to label their beef within the Community, it is opportune to prolong the transitional period; whereas the present transitional period ends on 31 March 1998 and therefore it is necessary to make the present Regulation applicable from 1 April 1998;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 288/82 of 5 February 1982 on common rules for imports (1), amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1243/86 (2), and in particular Article 10 (1) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulations (EEC) No 1765/82 (3) and (EEC) No 1766/82 of 30 June 1982 establishing common rules for imports from State-trading countries and from the People's Republic of China (4), and in particular Articles 10 (3) and 10 (4) thereof, respectively,
Consultations having been held within the committees set up under Article 5 of the said Regulations,
Whereas, by Decision 78/560/EEC (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2854/79 (6), the Commission established retrospective control of imports of footwear into the Community; whereas, by Regulation (EEC) No 4089/86 (7), the period of validity of that Decision was extended to 31 December 1987;
Whereas the reasons which originally led the Commission to take such action, that is to say the considerable pressure exercised by imports into the Community of footwear and the resultant threat of injury to the Community producers of like or directly competing products, continue to apply;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to prolong this retrospective control,
The period of validity of Decision 78/560/EEC is hereby extended to 31 December 1988.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

(93/476/ECSC)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular the third paragraph of Article 71 thereof,
Having regard to High Authority recommendation No 1/64 of 15 January 1964 to the Governments of the Member States concerning an increase in the protective duty on iron and steel products at the external frontiers of the Community (1), as last amended by recommendation 88/27/ECSC (2), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas certain iron and steel products indispensable to the manufacture of certain goods and having very special physical and chemical characteristics are not produced in the Community, or produced in insufficient quantities; whereas for a number of years insufficiency has been overcome by duty-free tariff quotas; whereas Community producers are still not in a position to comply with the present quality requirements put forward by the users; whereas duty-free quotas at a level securing the supply of users is consequently required;
Whereas import of these products on preferential terms is not injurious to iron and steel undertakings in the Community which produce directly competing products;
Whereas neither this suspension of duties nor this tariff quota is likely to jeopardize the objectives of recommendation No 1/64, but will help to maintain existing trade flows between Member States and non-member countries;
Whereas these are special cases in the commercial policy field justifying the authorization of derogations pursuant to Article 3 of recommendation No 1/64;
Whereas it is necessary to make sure that the tariff quota granted will have no other function than meeting the specific needs of certain transforming industries - the applicant ones in the Member State concerned - excluding any other firms in any other Member State;
Whereas the Governments of the Member States have been consulted on the tariff quota set out below,
1. Member States are hereby authorized to derogate from the obligations arising pursuant to Article 1 of High Authority recommendation No 1/64 to the extent necessary to suspend at the levels indicated the customs duties on the products set out below, within tariff quota of the amounts indicated for the Member States concerned:
/* Tables: see OJ */
(a) decarburization:
depth of decarburization measured without defects:
- wire rod as under (a) and (b): 0,05 mm maximum,
- wire rod as under (c): 0,07 mm maximum;
(b) surface condition:
maximum depth of defects (tears, fissures or folds) measured perpendicular to the surface: 0,05 mm.
(c) non-metallic inclusions:
examination to be carried out in accordance with the AFNOR standard (ref. A 04/106) of July 1972 and with Stahl-Eisen-Blatt 1570/71,
typical maximum value figure 1 from the surface to two-thirds of the radius,
typical maximum value figure 2 beyond two-thirds of the radius to the core.
The values indicated are valid for any type of inclusion.
1. Member States accorded quotas pursuant to Article 1 shall ensure, in liaison with the Commission, that such quotas are apportioned among third countries on a non-discriminatory basis.
2. Community provisions on the matter shall apply for the purpose of verifying that the products in question are used for the particular purpose prescribed.

of 30 November 2001

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), and in particular Article 7(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, production refunds may be granted on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) and (f) of that Regulation, on syrups listed in Article 1(1)(d) thereof and on chemically pure fructose covered by CN code 1702 50 00 as an intermediate product, that are in one of the situations referred to in Article 23(2) of the Treaty and are used in the manufacture of certain products of the chemical industry.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards granting the production refund on certain sugar products used in the chemical industry(2) lays down the rules for determining the production refunds and specifies the chemical products the basic products used in the manufacture of which attract a production refund. Articles 5, 6 and 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provide that the production refund applying to raw sugar, sucrose syrups and unprocessed isoglucose is to be derived from the refund fixed for white sugar in accordance with a method of calculation specific to each basic product.
(3) Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provides that the production refund on white sugar is to be fixed at monthly intervals commencing on the first day of each month. It may be adjusted in the intervening period where there is a significant change in the prices for sugar on the Community and/or world markets. The application of those provisions results in the production refund fixed in Article 1 of this Regulation for the period shown.
(4) As a result of the amendment to the definition of white sugar and raw sugar in Article 1(2)(a) and (b) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, flavoured or coloured sugars or sugars containing any other added substances are no longer deemed to meet those definitions and should thus be regarded as "other sugar". However, in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001, they attract the production refund as basic products. A method should accordingly be laid down for calculating the production refund on these products by reference to their sucrose content.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The production refund on white sugar referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 shall be equal to EUR 36,225/100 kg net.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 December 2001.

(1) Whereas some regions in Germany and Austria were affected by exceptional floods in May 1999; whereas because of these floods it was no longer economically viable for a large number of producers in those regions to sow seeds; whereas such a situation is likely to lead to the producers affected suffering a major loss of income on their farms, including compensatory payments;
(2) Whereas, in order to relieve the situation of the producers concerned, exceptional provision should be made for the 1999/2000 marketing year allowing amendments to be made to areas declared as set aside;
(3) Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Fund Committee,
Notwithstanding Article 4(2)(a) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3887/92(3), "area" aid applications in respect of the 1999/2000 marketing year submitted before 15 May 1999 in the regions listed in the Annex, may be amended by withdrawing areas declared as being "arable crops" and adding them to the set-aside areas, provided that the areas in question have effectively been out of production, from 15 January 1999.
Amendment declarations shall be submitted no later than 15 July 1999.

Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 50 of the Act of Accession of Croatia, where acts of the institutions adopted prior to accession require adaptation by reason of accession, and the necessary adaptations have not been provided for in that Act of Accession or its Annexes, the Council, acting by qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, shall, to this end, adopt the necessary acts, if the original act was not adopted by the Commission.
(2) The Final Act of the Conference which drew up the Treaty of Accession of Croatia indicated that the High Contracting Parties had reached political agreement on a set of adaptations to acts adopted by the institutions required by reason of accession and invited the Council and the Commission to adopt these adaptations before accession, completed and updated where necessary to take account of the evolution of Union law.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 171/83 of 25 January 1983 laying down certain technical measures for the conservation of fishery resources (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2664/84 (2), and in particular Article 21 thereof,
Whereas Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 171/83 provides for the possibility of using one or more representative samples as the basis for determining the percentage of by-catches;
Whereas it is appropriate to define the meaning of 'representative sample';
Whereas it is necessary to define the terms 'small-mesh species', 'large-mesh species' and 'small-meshed nets';
Whereas it is appropriate to define a method of sampling to be used for determining the percentage of the by-catches of the species listed in Annex V to Regulation (EEC) No 171/83 in those regions for which an entry has been made in that Annex or of cuttlefish as provided for in the first subparagraph of Article 8 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 171/83;
Whereas it is necessary to define the inspection procedure for the purpose of enforcement;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Resources,
Representative sample
For the purpose of determining the percentage of the by-catches in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 8 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 171/83, fish samples taken as described in this Regulation shall be deemed to be representative of all fish either on board or on board after sorting or in the hold or on landing within the meaning of Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 171/83.
Definition of groups of species and nets
For the purpose of this Regulation:
- 'small-mesh species' shall mean those species listed in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 171/83 for the region concerned,
- 'large-mesh species' shall mean all species except those listed in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 171/83 for the region concerned,
- 'small-meshed nets' shall mean all nets not complying with Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 171/83.
Estimation of weights of fish on board
If the vessel has both large-mesh species and small-mesh species on board, the representative of the competent authorities of the Member State, hereinafter called 'the inspector', shall determine the weight of each group of species on board necessary to calculate the percentage of the by-catch, including any species listed in Annex V to Regulation (EEC) No 171/83 which were caught with small-meshed nets and which have been sorted. In determining the weights the inspector shall take into account the information from any record of fishing operations (logbook) maintained in accordance with Article 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2057/82 (3) and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2807/83 (4).
Selection of samples
1. The samples shall be taken and the inspection procedure carried out by the inspector.
2. The captain or his representative shall have the right to be present during the sampling.
3. The samples shall be taken from all parts of the catch comprising small-mesh species and, if present, large-mesh species which are mixed with them.
4. They shall be taken in such a manner that at least one sample is taken from each hold or sub-division of the hold to which access can be gained and which contains small-mesh species and, if present, large-mesh species mixed with them, or from the fish on deck before or after sorting in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 171/83.
5. In so far as possible, when taking the samples, the inspector shall take them in proportion to his estimate of the weight of fish in each hold or subdivision of the hold or on deck.
6. Where possible samples from different levels within the hold or subdivision of the hold shall be taken.
7. Where sampling is carried out on discharge, samples shall be taken at intervals during discharge.
8. The samples shall be sorted into species or groups of species. After sorting, the total weight of each species or group of species shall be determined.
Inspection procedure
1. The initial sampling shall be carried out at sea if technically possible.
2. The captain may require that the sampling be repeated in port either before or during discharge.
The inspector may require that the sampling be repeated in port before discharge and, if the captain decides to discharge the catch, again during discharge.
3. If the captain or the inspector has required that sampling be carried out on discharging the catch, the port chosen by the inspector must have facilities for unloading and processing the catch, subject to any limitations imposed by prevailing conditions which, in the judgement of the inspector, prevent this.
4. The vessel may either be escorted into port or its hold may be sealed and the captain required to take his vessel into a port specified by the inspector. In the latter case, the inspector shall notify the appropriate control authorities in that port of the name, the registration number and where available the radio call sign of the vessel and its estimated time of arrival. The captain of the vessel shall report to the control authorities immediately on arrival. The seals may be broken only by an inspector.
5. The entire inspection procedure shall be carried out by the inspectors of the same Member State unless that Member State agrees to transfer the control procedures to the competent authorities of another Member State.
6. If the provisions of paragraph 5 are used to permit the transfer of control procedures from one Member State to another, the hold shall be sealed and the provisions of paragraph 4 to vessels whose holds have been sealed shall apply.
Relative validity of inspection
1. The result of the calculation of the percentage of the by-catch obtained from sampling in port shall prevail over that obtained from sampling at sea.
2. The result of the calculation of the percentage of the by-catch obtained from sampling during discharge shall prevail over that obtained from sampling at sea or in port without discharging.
Minimum sample sizes
1. For sampling at sea, the total weight of the samples selected to Article 4 shall not be less than 100 kilograms.
2. For sampling in port, the total weight of the samples selected pursuant to Article 4 shall be not less than 100 kilograms or one part in 2 000 of the weight of the small-mesh species and, if present, large-mesh species mixed with them, whichever is the greater.

Whereas:
(1) Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provides that the rates of duty in the Common Customs Tariff are to be charged on import of the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation. However, in the case of the products referred to in paragraph 2 of that Article, the import duty is to be equal to the intervention price valid for such products on importation and increased by a certain percentage according to whether it is husked or milled rice, minus the cif import price provided that duty does not exceed the rate of the Common Customs Tariff duties.
(2) Pursuant to Article 12(3) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, the cif import prices are calculated on the basis of the representative prices for the product in question on the world market or on the Community import market for the product.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 lays down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 as regards import duties in the rice sector.
(4) The import duties are applicable until new duties are fixed and enter into force. They also remain in force in cases where no quotation is available from the source referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 during the two weeks preceding the next periodical fixing.
(5) In order to allow the import duty system to function normally, the market rates recorded during a reference period should be used for calculating the duties.
(6) Application of the second subparagraph of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 results in an adjustment of the import duties that have been fixed as from 27 May 2004 by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1025/2004 (3) as set out in the Annexes to this Regulation,
The import duties in the rice sector referred to in Article 11(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 shall be adjusted in compliance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 and fixed in Annex I to this Regulation on the basis of the information given in Annex II.

of 26 May 1987
opening, allocating and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for ferro-phosphorus falling within subheading ex 28.55 A 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 the production of ferro-phosphorus containing 15 % or more by weight of phosphorus, is currently insufficient in the Community to meet the requirements of the user industries in the Community; whereas, consequently, Community supplies of products of this type currently depend to a considerable extent on imports from third countries; whereas it is in the Community's interest to suspend totally the Common Customs Tariff duty for the products 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 limit the benefits of the tariff quota to products used for the manufacture of refined phosphoric iron or steel, to open this quota free of duty for the period 1 July to 31 December 1987 and to fix the volume at 13 000 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, however, since the quota is an autonomous Community tariff quota intended to cover import needs arising in the Community, for experimental purposes, 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 products concerned, the quota volume should be divided into two instalments, the first being allocated between the Member States and the second held as a reserve to meet subsequent requirements of Member States which have used up their initial shares; 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 10 430 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 should be valid until the end of the quota period; whereas this form of administration requires close collaboration between the Member States and the Commission, and the Commission must, in particular, 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 1 July to 31 December 1987, the Common Customs Tariff duty for import of the following products shall be suspended at the level and within the limit of the Community tariff quota indicated opposite them:
1.2.3.4.5 // // // // // // Order No // CCT heading No // Description // Quota volume (tonnes) // Quota duty (%) // // // // // // 09.2718 // ex 28.55 // Phosphides, whether or not chemically defined: // // // // // A. Of iron (ferro-phosphorus) containing 15 % or more by weight of phosphorus, intended for the manufacture of refined phosphoric iron or steel // 13 000 // 0 // // // // //
2. Within the limits of this tariff quota, the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic shall apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions in the 1985 Act of Accession.
3. Control of the use of the products for the particular purpose laid down shall be carried out by applying the relevant Community provisions.
1. A first instalment of 10 430 tonnes of this Community tariff quota shall be allocated among the Member States; the shares, which shall be valid until 31 December 1987, shall be as follows:
1.2 // // (tonnes) // Benelux // 4 935 // France // 1 280 // Germany // 2 565 // Portugal // 170 // Spain // 200 // United Kingdom // 1 280
2. The second instalment of 2 570 tonnes, shall constitute the reserve.
3. If an importer notifies an imminent importation of the product in question in a Member State which does not take part in the initial allocation and requests the benefit 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 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 10 % 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 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 31 December 1987.
Member States shall, not later than 1 November 1987, return to the reserve the unused portion of their initial share which, on 15 October 1987, is in excess of 20 % of the initial volume. They may return a greater portion if there are grounds for believing that it may not be used in full.
Member States shall, not later than 1 November 1987, notify the Commission of the total quantities of the product in question imported up to and including 15 October 1987 and charged against the Community tariff quotas and of any portion of their initial shares returned to the reserve.
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 notifications reach it, inform each Member State of the extent to which the reserve has been used up.
It shall, not later than 5 November 1987 inform the Member States of the amount still in reserve, following any return of shares pursuant to Article 5.
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. Article 7
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.
When so requested by the Commission, Member States shall inform it of imports actually charged against their shares.
Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1554/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down the general rules for the system of aid for cotton and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2169/81 (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1584/96 (4), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1554/95 provides that actual production in each marketing year is to be determined each year, account being taken in particular of the quantities for which aid has been requested; whereas application of this criterion results in actual production, in respect of the 1996/97 marketing year, being established at the level set out hereafter;
Whereas Article 2 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1964/87 provides that if actual production determined for Greece and Spain exceeds the guaranteed maximum quantity the guide price is to be reduced in each Member State where production exceeds its guaranteed national quantity; whereas the calculation of the said reduction varies depending on whether the guaranteed national quantity is exceeded both in Spain and Greece or only in one of those Member States; whereas, in the case under consideration, the overrun occurs both in Greece and in Spain; whereas, therefore, under the rules laid down in Article 6 (a) of Regulation (EC) No 1554/95, actual production in excess of the guaranteed national quantity is to be calculated in each Member State as a percentage of the guaranteed national quantity of that Member State, and the guide price is to be reduced by a percentage equal to half the percentage excess;
Whereas Article 2 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1964/87 provides for an increase in aid, if certain conditions are fulfilled, in each Member State where actual production exceeds its guaranteed national quantity; whereas the aforementioned conditions are not fulfilled for the 1996/97 marketing year;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Flax and Hemp,
1. For the 1996/97 marketing year, actual production of unginned cotton is fixed at 1 227 871 tonnes, of which 927 650 tonnes for Greece and 300 221 tonnes for Spain.
2. The amount by which the guide price is to be reduced for the 1996/97 marketing year is fixed at:

- ECU 10,949/100 kg for Spain.

REGULATION (EC) No 2888/2000 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 18 December 2000
on the distribution of permits for heavy goods vehicles travelling in Switzerland
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community and, in particular, Article 71 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
After consulting the Committee of the Regions,
Acting in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 251 of the Treaty (3),
Whereas:
(1) The Swiss Federal Council decided, on 1 November 2000, to allow heavy goods vehicles of up to 34 tonnes to travel on its territory from 1 January 2001 and to open up the quotas, from the same date, for vehicles the actual total laden weight of which is more than 34 tonnes but not more than 40 tonnes and for empty and light goods vehicles. That decision accompanied the introduction of the RPLP (heavy traffic levy) on the Swiss network.
(2) That decision is an autonomous measure taken by the Swiss Confederation and, as a result, it cannot be deemed to be a provisional application of the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on the carriage of goods and passengers by rail and road signed on 21 June 1999. The conclusion of that Agreement by the Community calls for the simultaneous entry into force of the seven agreements signed on the same date with the Swiss Confederation.
(3) It is necessary to establish on a lasting basis rules governing the distribution and management of the permits made available to the Community as from 1 January 2001.
(4) For practical and organisational reasons, the Commission should be entrusted with the task of distributing the permits to Member States.
(5) To that end, an allocation method should be established. Thereafter, Member States should share out the permits allocated to them among transport undertakings with reference to objective criteria.
(6) In order to ensure the optimal use of permits, all unallocated permits should be returned to the Commission for redistribution.
(7) The allocation of permits should be based on criteria that take full account of existing freight transport flows and genuine transport needs across the Alpine region.
(8) It may prove necessary to revise the allocation of permits on the basis of genuine traffic flows, while taking account of relevant items of the method described in Annex III. In carrying out such revision, the Commission should be assisted by a Committee.
(9) 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 (4),
This Regulation lays down the rules for the distribution of permits allocated to the Community by Switzerland allowing heavy goods vehicles of up to 34 tonnes to travel on its territory as from 1 January 2001, opening up, from the same date, the quotas for vehicles the actual total laden weight of which is more than 34 tonnes but not more than 40 tonnes and for empty and light goods vehicles and introducing the RPLP (heavy traffic levy) on the Swiss network.
For the purposes of this Regulation:
1. ‘full-weight’ permit shall mean a permit to travel on Swiss territory granted for goods vehicles the actual total laden weight of which is more than 34 tonnes but not more than 40 tonnes;
2. ‘empty’ permit shall mean a permit to travel on Swiss territory granted for goods vehicles that are empty or are transporting light loads.
1. The Commission shall allocate permits in accordance with paragraphs 2, 3 and 4.
2. The ‘full-weight’ permits shall be distributed in accordance with Annex I.
3. The ‘empty’ permits shall be distributed in accordance with Annex II.
4. The permits for each year shall be distributed before 15 August of the preceding year.
Member States shall distribute permits amongst the undertakings established in their territory according to objective and non-discriminatory criteria.
Before 15 September each year, Member States shall transfer to the Commission those permits which have not been allocated to undertakings.
In accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 7, the Commission shall allocate those permits to one or more Member States in such a way as to ensure an optimal use thereof.
When the Commission makes its proposal for adjustment, it shall take as a basis actual traffic flows during 2001, while seeing to it that equal account is taken of criteria relating to bilateral traffic operations and transit traffic operations. Should the recalculation result in an allocation for any Member State which differs substantially from that set out in Annexes I and II, any amendments necessary to adapt Annexes I and II shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 7.
1. The Commission shall be assisted by a committee.
2. Where reference is made to this Article, Articles 5 and 7 of Decision 1999/468/EC shall apply, having regard to the provisions of Article 8 thereof.
The period laid down in Article 5(6) of Decision 1999/468/EC shall be set at three months.
3. The Committee shall adopt its rules of procedure.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1884/94 (6), and in particular Article 15 (2) thereof,
Whereas the Association Agreements between the European Economic Community and the European Coal and Steel Community, of the one part, and the Republic of Hungary and the Republic of Poland, of the other part, entered into force on 1 January 1994; whereas, pending the entry into force of the Association Agreement concluded with the former Czech and Slovak Federal Republic, the Community has decided to apply with effect from 1 March 1992 an interim agreement concluded with the aforesaid country, hereinafter referred to as the 'Interim Agreement';
Whereas the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic was dissolved with effect from 1 January 1993; whereas, as successor States to the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic, the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic will continue to assume all obligations arising from all agreements between the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic and the European Communities, and in particular from the Interim Agreement; whereas the said Interim Agreement was amended by Additional Protocols and by Supplementary Protocols concluded with the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic;
Whereas, in view of the trade concessions provided for in the abovementioned Agreements with respect to agricultural products, a Community tariff quota for imports of bovine animals weighing between 160 and 300 kilograms originating in and coming from Poland, Hungary, the Slovak Republic or the Czech Republic at a reduced 25 % levy should be opened for 1995;
Whereas the Uruguay Round Agreements are due to apply from 1 July 1995; whereas the detailed rules for the application of this quota should be laid down and it should be opened until that date;
Whereas half the reference quantity for 1995 laid down in the Association Agreements amounts to 138 600 head; whereas the estimate of young male bovine animals intended for fattening has been set at 99 000 for the first half of 1995; whereas the quota for the first half of 1995 amounts to 39 600 as a result;
Whereas limiting the system in question to the first half of 1995 results in a shortened time limit for imports; whereas this time limit should therefore be extended by one month as a transitional measure;
Whereas, while recalling the provisions of the Interim Agreements intended to guarantee the origin of the product, the management of the system should be ensured through import licences; whereas, with that in mind, it would be appropriate to define, in particular, the detailed rules for submission of applications, as well as the information which must be included on the applications and licences, notwithstanding certain provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 of 16 November 1988 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2746/94 (8), and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 of 4 September 1980 on special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences in the beef and veal sector (9), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1084/94 (10); whereas provision should also be made for the licences to be issued after a delay for consideration and, where necessary, with the application of a single percentage reduction;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
1. A tariff quota for imports of live bovine animals falling within CN codes 0102 90 41 or 0102 90 49 originating in and coming from Poland, Hungary, the Slovak Republic or the Czech Republic is hereby opened for the first half of 1995.
The total volume of the quota shall be 39 600 head.
2. The reduced import levy applicable to animals under this quota shall be 25 % of the full levy applicable on the date of acceptance of the declaration of release for free circulation.
In order to qualify for the quota referred to in Article 1:
(a) applicants for import licences must be natural or legal persons who, at the time applications are submitted, must prove to the satisfaction of the competent authorities of the Member State concerned that they have imported and/or exported during 1994 at least 50 animals falling within CN code 0102 90 and originating in or intended for countries which are considered by their authorities third countries on 31 December 1994; applicants must be entered in the official register of a Member State;
(b) licence applications may be presented only in the Member State in which the applicant is registered;
(c) licence applications shall relate to a number equal to or greater than 50 head and relate to a quantity not exceeding 10 % of the quantity available.
Where applications for import licences exceed this quantity, they shall only be considered within the limits of the said quantity;
(d) Sections 7 and 8 of licence applications and licences shall show the countries referred to in Article 1 (1); licences shall carry with them an obligation to import from one or more of the countries indicated;
(e) Section 20 of licence applications and licences shall show one of the following:

setting up the Electricity Coordination Group
2012/C 353/02
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Whereas:
(1) Article 194(1) of the Treaty establishes the objectives of ensuring the functioning of the energy market and the security of energy supply in the Union, the promotion of energy efficiency, energy saving, the development of new and renewable forms of energy and the interconnection of energy networks in a spirit of solidarity.
(2) Directive 2005/89/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 January 2006 concerning measures to safeguard security of electricity supply and infrastructure investment (1) requires Member States to ensure a high level of security of electricity supply and to take into account possibilities for cross-border cooperation for this purpose. It is the Commission's responsibility to monitor and review its application.
(3) Directive 2009/72/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 concerning common rules for the internal market in electricity and repealing Directive 2003/54/EC (2) provides for detailed rules on the internal electricity market. These rules aim, inter alia, at the further developing cross-border interconnections and ensuring a high standard of security of electricity supply.
(4) Directive 2009/72/EC entrusts regulatory authorities with the task to monitor compliance with network security and reliability rules and investments in generation capacity in relation to security of supply. In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 713/2009 (3), the Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators shall assist the regulatory authorities, where necessary coordinate their action and monitor the execution of the tasks of the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (‘ENTSO-E’).
(5) Directive 2009/72/EC furthermore provides that transmission system operators shall be responsible for ensuring a secure, reliable and efficient electricity system, while Regulation (EC) No 714/2009 (4) entrusts ENTSO-E with the task to adopt tools to ensure coordination of network operation in normal and emergency conditions and to produce regularly a European generation adequacy outlook.
(6) Under Directive 2009/72/EC Member States, as well as the regulatory authorities, are obliged to cooperate with each other and with the Commission for the purpose of integrating their national markets, as a first step towards the creation of a fully liberalised internal market. The Commission monitors the implementation of the provisions of Directive 2009/72/EC (5).
(7) The increasing production of electricity from renewable energy sources leads to new challenges for the internal electricity market, notably with respect to grid stability and security of electricity supply. Increased coordination of policy measures related to the internal electricity market between Member States, other involved stakeholders and the Commission is crucial for the success of the integration of European electricity markets and the maintenance of a high standard of security of electric supply.
(8) The Commission has therefore launched several meetings of high-level representatives from competent Member State authorities, national energy regulators, ENTSO-E and the Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (‘the Agency’) to exchange views and feed into its policy thinking on electricity security of supply matters, including grid stability and generation adequacy. These first activities and the idea of an Electricity Coordination Group were discussed at the informal Energy Council in Wroclaw in September 2011 and in the meetings of the Transport, Telecommunications and Energy Council in November 2011 and February 2012 meeting.
(9) These meetings of high level representatives have proven to be very useful for the Commission and all involved stakeholders. They provided valuable insights into internal electricity market and security of supply issues and allowed to discuss different possible solutions to address the existing problems. They highlighted in particular the need to address the new challenges relating to integrated electricity markets on a European level.
(10) It is therefore appropriate to formalise this group of experts in the field of electricity and to define its tasks and its structure.
(11) The group should help to strengthen and intensify the cooperation and coordination between Member States and the Commission in the field of cross-border trade of electricity and security of supply issues, including generation adequacy and grid stability, and also to prepare potential new policy initiatives and react to potential supply crises.
(12) The Electricity Coordination Group should provide the Commission and its members with the necessary policy expertise for initiatives aimed at preserving and enhancing market integration and security of electricity supply.
(13) The Group should be composed of the Member States' competent authorities (ministry competent for electricity and national regulatory authority), of ENTSO-E and of the Agency. Rules on disclosure of information by members of the group should be laid down.
(14) Personal data relating to the members of the Group should be processed in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (6),

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 674/92 (2), and in particular Articles 12 (2) and 16 (6) thereof,
Whereas export licences for common wheat, barley and durum wheat were issued in January 1992 with refunds fixed in advance; whereas these licences are due to expire on 31 May 1992; whereas failure to export by that date leads to the forfeit of a security;
Whereas, because of considerable difficulties in exporting from French ports due to many days of dockers' strikes, exportation of the quantities concerned, in view of their size, cannot take place before the licences expire on 31 May 1992; whereas such exports are necessary in order to achieve the normal run-down of the cereals surplus;
Whereas intervention in the cereals sector is open until 31 May 1992; whereas failure to perform major contracts will entail additional intervention purchases at a time when intervention stocks have already reached a record level;
Whereas an extension of the validity of export licences for common wheat, barley and durum wheat due to expire on 31 May 1992 is therefore justified;
Whereas, in these circumstances, as an exceptional measure, the validity of licences should be extended by one month at the request of the exporter; whereas in order to prevent exporters from gaining undue advantage or being penalized in any way, exporters applying for an extension should be required to confirm the value of the refund at 31 May 1992 for the quantity in question, which value will remain unchanged until 30 June 1992, and to forego all rights to an adjustment;
Whereas export licences for barley were issued during February, March, April and May 1992 with refunds fixed in advance; whereas these licences are valid for the month of issue plus four months; whereas a negative correcting factor of ECU 30/tonne will be applied to the refunds fixed in advance for export in June 1992; whereas, for the reasons stated above, actual export could not take place normally before 1 June 1992; whereas the negative correcting factor makes it impossible to export in June; whereas the correcting factor applicable in June to exports of barley should therefore be cancelled;
Whereas the new harvest of barley, in particular in Spain, is available on the open market during June; whereas checks must be made to ensure that barley from the 1992 harvest is not exported under the conditions applying for the 1991/92 marketing year; whereas, in order to facilitate checks, application of the planned measure should be limited with regard to exports from Spain;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
At the request of the exporter, the duration of the validity of export licences for common wheat, barley and durum wheat issued in January 1992 with export refunds fixed in advance shall be extended until 30 June 1992. Requests for extension shall be admissible only if they are submitted not later than two working days following the publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Communities and if the exporter foregoes all rights, during the extension period, to adjustments to the refund as provided for in Article 16 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75.
At the request of the exporter, the negative correcting factor applicable to exports of barley for June 1992 shall be cancelled for export licences issued in February, March, April and May 1992.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas the classification of rice was amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3877/87 (4); whereas Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (5) was accordingly amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3174/88 (6); wheresas the CN codes in Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1219/89 (8), should therefore be updated;
Whereas Article 11a of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 lays down measures derogating from the levy arrangements provided for in Article 11 of that Regulation and in particular the collection of a levy on imports of milled rice, reduced to the amount for the protection of the industry is insufficient to ensure the competitiveness of the Réunion rice industry; whereas the arrangements for imports of milled rice into Réunion should be amended as regards the collection of the levy;
Whereas the subsidy arrangements provided for in Article 11 a (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 do not permit direct control of the trend in the amount of the subsidy on the basis of the prices or quotations on the Community market; whereas periodical fixing of the subsidy would permit the amount to be adapted more closely to the requirements of the Community market on the one hand and to the supply requirements of the Réunion market on the other hand,
Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 1 (1) is replaced by the following:
'1. The common organization of the market in rice shall comprise a price and trading system and shall cover the following products:
1.2 // // // CN code // Description // // // (a) 1006 10 21 1006 10 23 1006 10 25 1006 10 27 1006 10 92 1006 10 94 1006 10 96 1006 10 98 // Rice in the husk (paddy or rough) // 1006 20 // Husked (brown) rice // 1006 30 // Semi-milled or wholly milled rice, whether or not polished or glazed // // // (b) 1006 40 00 // Broken rice // // // (c) 1102 30 00 // Rice flour // 1103 14 00 // Groats and meal of rice // 1103 29 50 // Pellets of rice // 1104 19 91 // Flaked rice // 1108 19 10 // Rice 1989, p. 9.
2. Article 11a is replaced by the following:
'Article 11a
1. This Article shall apply to products intended to be consumed in the French overseas department of Réunion.
2. Notwithstanding Article 11 (1) (a), (b), (c), (d) and (i), no levy shall be charged on imports of products falling within CN codes 1006 10 (excluding 1006 10 10), 1006 20 and 1006 40 00 into the French overseas departments of Réunion.
3. Notwithstanding Article 11 (1) (e), (f), (g) and (h), the levy to be charged on imports of products falling within CN code 1006 30 into the French overseas department of Réunion shall be multiplied by a coefficient of 0,30.
4. A subsidy may be fixed for consignments to the French overseas department of Réunion of products falling within CN code 1006 (excluding code 1006 10 10) which come from the Member States and are in one of the situations referred to in Article 9 (2) of the Treaty.
That subsidy shall be fixed, taking into account the supply requirements of the Réunion market, on the basis of the difference between the prices or quotations of the relevant products on the world market and the prices or quotations of those products on the Community market, and, if necessary the price of those products delivered to Réunion Island.
The subsidy shall be granted on application by the party concerned. The subsidy may be fixed, where appropriate, by tendering procedure. This tender shall involve the subsidy amount.
The subsidy shall be fixed periodically in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 27. However, where the need arises, the Commission may, at the request of a Member State or on its own initiative, alter the subsidy in the interval.
5. The rules on the financing of the common agricultural policy shall apply to the subsidy provided for in paragraph 4.
6. The detailed rules for the application of this Article shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 27.'.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 August 1989.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1206/90 of 7 May 1990 laying down general rules for the system of production aid for processed fruit and vegetables (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2202/90 (4), and in particular Article 6 (2) thereof,
Whereas Article 6 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 626/85 of 12 March 1985 on the purchasing, selling and storage of unprocessed dried grapes and figs by storage agencies (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3601/90 (6), provides that products intended for specific uses are to be sold at prices fixed in advance or determined by an invitation to tender;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 913/89 of 10 April 1989 on the sale of unprocessed dried grapes by storage agencies for the manufacture of alcohol (7) provides for the possibility of unprocessed dried grapes being sold to the distillation industry at a price fixed in advance;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3698/91 (8) fixes the price of dried grapes sold to the distillation industry in order to prevent any disturbance of the Community market for alcohol and spirits and the processing security provided for in Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 913/89, account being taken of the difference between the normal market price for dried grapes and the selling price for distillation; whereas the deterioration in the quality of such dried grapes as a result of storage for a very lengthy period makes it necessary to reduce the prices and the security;
Whereas the measures provided from this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,
Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 3698/91 is hereby replaced by the following:
'Article 1

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/106/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction products (1), as amended by Directive 93/68/EEC (2), and in particular Article 13(4) thereof,
Whereas the Commission is required to select, as between the two procedures under Article 13(3) of Directive 89/106/EEC for attesting the conformity of a product, the 'least onerous possible procedure consistent with safety`; whereas this means that it is necessary to decide whether, for a given product or family of products, the existence of a factory-production control system under the responsibility of the manufacturer is a necessary and sufficient condition for an attestation of conformity, or whether, for reasons related to compliance with the criteria mentioned in Article 13(4), the intervention of an approved certification body is required;
Whereas Article 13(4) requires that the procedure thus determined must be indicated in the mandates and in the technical specifications; whereas, therefore, it is desirable to define the concept of products or family of products as used in the mandates and in the technical specifications;
Whereas the two procedures provided for in Article 13(3) are described in detail in Annex III to Directive 89/106/EEC; whereas it is necessary therefore to specify clearly the methods by which the two procedures must be implemented, by reference to Annex III, for each product or family of products, since Annex III gives preference to certain systems;
Whereas the procedure referred to in point (a) of Article 13(3) corresponds to the systems set out in the first possibility, without continuous surveillance, and the second and third possibilities of point (ii) of section 2 of Annex III, and the procedure referred to in point (b) of Article 13(3) corresponds to the systems set out in point (i) of section 2 of Annex III, and in the first possibility, with continuous surveillance, of point (ii) of section 2 of Annex III;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Construction,
The products and families of products set out in Annex I shall have their conformity attested by a procedure whereby the manufacturer has under its sole responsibility a factory-production control system ensuring that the product is in conformity with the relevant technical specifications.
The products set out in Annex II shall have their conformity attested by a procedure whereby, in addition to a factory-production control system operated by the manufacturer, an approved certification body is involved in assessment and surveillance of the production control or of the product itself.
The procedure for attesting conformity as set out in Annex III shall be indicated in mandates for harmonized standards.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 July 2002 on the application of international accounting standards (1), and in particular Article 3 (1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Commission Regulation (EC) No 1725/2003 (2) certain international standards and interpretations that were extant at 14 September 2002 were adopted, including interpretation of the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC) 12 Consolidation — Special purpose entities.
(2) On 17 December 2003 the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) published revised International Accounting Standard (IAS) 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IAS 39 establishes mainly basic principles for recognising and measuring financial assets and financial liabilities and was adopted by the European Commission by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2086/2004 (3) as of 19 November 2004, with the exception of certain provisions on the use of the full fair value option and on hedge accounting.
(3) On 17 December 2004, the IASB published amendment to IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement — Transition and Initial Recognition of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities as part of the IASB’s initiative to facilitate the changeover to IAS/IFRS for European companies, especially these registered with the American Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
(4) On 11 November 2004, the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) issued amendment to IFRIC Interpretation SIC 12 Scope of SIC 12: Consolidation — Special Purpose Entities. The Amendment deals with the current scope exclusion in SIC 12 for post-employment benefit plans and equity compensation plans (SIC-12.6). The purpose of the change in scope is to ensure consistency with the requirements of IAS 19 Employee benefits and to introduce consequential changes required by the recent adoption of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment
(4).
(5) The Commission has concluded that the amended standard and the amended interpretation meet the criteria set out in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002. The consultation with technical experts in the field also support that both amendments meet the technical criteria for adoption.
(6) The adoption of the amendments to IAS 39 implies, by way of consequence, amendments to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards in order to ensure consistency between international accounting standards.
(7) Regulation (EC) No 1725/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The amendments should exceptionally take effect for company’s financial year starting on or after 1 January 2005, i.e. from a point in time before the publication of this regulation. The retrospective application is exceptionally justified to facilitate for first time adopters the preparation of accounts in accordance with IAS/IFRS.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Accounting Regulatory Committee,
Annex to regulation (EC) No 1725/2003 is amended as follows:
1. The text of the Amendments to International Accounting Standard (IAS) 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement — Transition and Initial Recognition of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities is inserted as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
2. The text of the IFRIC Amendment to SIC 12 Scope of SIC 12; Consolidation — Special Purpose Entities is inserted as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
3. The adoption of the amendments to IAS 39 implies, by way of consequence, amendments to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards in order to ensure consistency between international accounting standards.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3528/86 of 17 November 1986 on the protection of the Community's forests against atmospheric pollution(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 307/97(2), and in particular Articles 2 and 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EEC) No 3528/86 provides for a financial contribution from the Community to measures under the Community scheme for the protection of forests against atmospheric pollution.
(2) Article 12 of that Regulation stipulates that the Community's contribution is to cover the periodic inventory of damage caused to forests, in particular by atmospheric pollution, the network of observation points for intensive and continuous monitoring of the forest ecosystems, experiments, and pilot and demonstration projects to improve the protection of forests against atmospheric pollution.
(3) In the interests of effectiveness and in order to simplify and rationalise procedures at national and Community level, the various measures for which Community financial assistance is requested should be brought together in an annual national programme for each Member State.
(4) Detailed rules should be adopted on how aid applications under the national programmes should be presented and the information they must contain in order to expedite examination thereof.
(5) A system of advance payments of Community assistance should be introduced to assist Member States in the proper financial management of their national programmes.
(6) The applications submitted to the Commission by the competent authority for the payment of advances and balances under the national programme must contain certain information to help establish the regularity of expenditure.
(7) The Commission must be informed that the measures are being implemented in accordance with the conditions and within the time limit laid down in the decision granting aid.
(8) The Member States must adopt the provisions necessary to ensure that effective checks are carried out on the implementation of measures under the national programmes.
(9) Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 3528/86 and Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2988/95 of 18 December 1995 on the protection of the European Communities' financial interests(3) require the Member States to ascertain the effective and regular nature of the operations financed by the Community and to recover sums lost as a result of irregularities or negligence. Such sums represent unjustified expenditure from the Community budget and must therefore be reimbursed to the Community.
(10) If the checks provided for in Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 3528/86 carried out by the Commission reveal an irregularity, the Member State must be able to express its opinion on the situation noted. Where the irregularity is confirmed and the sums concerned represent unjustified expenditure from the Community budget, they should be reimbursed to the Community.

The schedule shall give the description of each document and the provisions or measures under which it is drawn up and a brief description of the content of such documents;
- specimens of the forms on which beneficiaries are to submit their applications for payment. Such forms must include at least a summary of the expenditure incurred and a comparative table giving a qualitative and quantitative description of the measures provided for and those implemented;

1. From 1 July of the year following the date of notification of the Commission Decision on the financing of the programme, the competent authorities shall forward six-monthly statements of the payments made to beneficiaries, in accordance with Annex II and accompanied by a statement describing the state of progress of the work.

3. If analysis of the situation and any comments by the Member State result in the Commission confirming the irregularity, the Member State shall reimburse the amounts concerned.
Regulation (EEC) No 526/87, Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1696/87 and Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1091/94 are repealed.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 of 19 January 2009 establishing common rules for direct support schemes for farmers under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers, amending Regulations (EC) No 1290/2005, (EC) No 247/2006, (EC) No 378/2007 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 (1), and in particular Article 29(4)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 29(2) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 provides that payments under support schemes listed in Annex I to that Regulation are to be made within the period from 1 December to 30 June of the following calendar year. However, Article 29(4)(a) of that Regulation permits the Commission to provide for advances.
(2) In 2009, farmers are currently facing serious financial and cash flow difficulties as a result of low agricultural prices and high input costs. In order to help to alleviate these difficulties it is appropriate to allow for farmers to receive advance payments of up to 70 % of support schemes where the necessary verification of eligibility conditions under Article 29(3) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 may be carried out before such an advance payment. The support schemes concerned are: the dairy premium and additional payment and the arable crops area payment under Title IV, Chapters 7 and 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 (2), direct payments under measures established in the POSEI programmes provided for in Title III of Council Regulation (EC) No 247/2006 (3) and direct payments under measures established in the Aegean Islands programmes provided for in Chapter III of Council Regulation (EC) No 1405/2006 (4), the single payment scheme, the crop specific payment for rice, the protein crop premium, the sheep meat and goat meat premiums, the beef and veal payments and the single area payment scheme provided for in Title III, Title IV, Chapter 1, Sections 1, 3, 10 and 11 and Title V, Chapter 2, respectively of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009.
(3) In order to ensure that the payments will be accounted for under the 2010 budget year, they should be made from 16 October 2009. The necessary verification of eligibility conditions under Article 29(3) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 should nevertheless be carried out before payment of the advances in the interests of good financial management.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Direct Payments,
Member States may pay, from 16 October 2009, advances to farmers of up to 70 % of payments in respect of applications made in 2009, provided that the verification of the eligibility conditions pursuant to Article 20 of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 has been finalised, for:
(a) the dairy premium and additional payment and the arable crops area payment as referred to in Title IV, Chapters 7 and 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003;
(b) the direct payments under measures established in the POSEI programmes as referred to in Title III of Regulation (EC) No 247/2006;

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2111/92 of 13 July 1992 opening and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for rum, tafia and arrack originating in the overseas countries and territories (OCT) associated with the European Economic Community (1992/93)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 91/482/EEC of 25 July 1991 on the association of the overseas countries and territories with the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Annex V thereto,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Annex V to Decision 91/482/EEC provides that rum, tafia and arrack shall be imported into the Community free of customs duties within the limits of a Community tariff quota;
Whereas the Community established, by Decision 86/47/EEC (2), arrangements for trade between the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic of the one hand and the overseas countries and territories (OCT) on the other; whereas that Decision lays down special provisions concerning the quota duties to be applied by those two Member States on imports of products originating in the OCT;
Whereas the annual size of the quota is to be fixed using basic annual quantity, calculated in hectolitres of pure alcohol, equal to the amount of imports during the best of the past three years for which statistics are available and to which quantity a growth rate equal to 27 % is applied; whereas the quota period ranges from 1 July to 30 June;
Whereas Community statistics for these products and the trend for the years 1989 to 1991 show that the highest volume of imports into the Community of the products in question originating in the OCT, namely 1 126,49 hectolitres of pure alcohol, occurred in 1989, whereas, on that basis, the quota volume should therefore be fixed at 1 278,57 hectolitres of pure alcohol;
Whereas, by applying Article 2 (a) of Annex V to Decision 91/482/EEC the quota volume in question should, however, be increased to 15 000 hectolitres of pure alcohol;
Whereas it is in particular necessary to ensure for all Community importers equal and uninterrupted access to the abovementioned quota and uninterrupted application of the rates laid down for that quota to all imports of the products concerned into all Member States until the quota has been used up; whereas it is appropriate to take the necessary measures to ensure effective Community administration of this tariff quota while offering the Member States the opportunity to draw from the quota volume the necessary quantities corresponding to actual imports; whereas this method of administration requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission;
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 may be carried out by any one of its members,
1. From 1 July 1992 to 30 June 1993, the following products originating from the OCT shall be imported duty-free into the Community within the limit of the relevant Community tariff quota mentioned:
Order No CN code Description Quota volume
(in hl of pure
alcohol) Quota duty 09.1621 2208 40 10
2208 40 90
2208 90 11
2208 90 19 Rum, tafia and arrack 15 000 Free
2. The rules of origin applicable to the products referred to in paragraph I shall be those set out in Annex II to Decision 91/482/EEC.
3. Within the limit of this quota, the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic shall apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the 1985 Act of Accession and Decision 86/47/EEC.
The tariff quota referred to in Article 1 shall be administered by the Commission, which may take any appropriate measure with a view to ensuring the efficient administration thereof.
If an importer presents, in a Member State, declaration of entry into free circulation including a request for preferential benefit for a product covered by this Regulation, and if this declaration is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall draw, from the tariff quota, by means of notification to the Commission, a quantity corresponding to these needs.
The requests for drawing, with the indication of the date of acceptance of the said declaration, must be communicated to the Commission without delay.
The drawings are granted by the Commission on the basis of the date of acceptance of the declarations of entry into free circulation by the customs authorities of the Member State concerned, to the extent that the available balance so permits.
If a Member State does not use the quantities drawn, it shall return them as soon as possible ot the tariff quota.
If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the tariff quota, allocation shall be made on a pro rata basis with respect to the requests. Member States shall be informed by the Commission of drawings made.
Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the product concerned have equal and continuous access to the quota for such time at the residual balance of the quota volume so permits.
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 of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 July 1992. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in raw tobacco (1), and in particular Article 14a thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Specific measures to help tobacco growers to switch to other crops or other economic activities are financed by the Community Tobacco Fund, provided for by Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92.
(2) Community Tobacco Fund appropriations deriving from the deduction applied to the premium for raw tobacco for the 2005 harvest are available to finance conversion measures in 2006.
(3) Article 15(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2182/2002 (2) defines the beneficiaries of individual measures to promote a switch of production as tobacco producers whose quota has been irrevocably bought back under the buy-back programme provided for in Article 14(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92.
(4) The quota buy-back programme was abolished by Council Regulation (EC) No 1679/2005 of 6 October 2005 amending Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 on the common organisation of the market in raw tobacco from 22 October 2005. Consequently, participation in the buy-back programme can no longer be a criterion for eligibility for measures financed from the Community Tobacco Fund.
(5) Producers eligible for the production aid for tobacco provided for in Chapter 10c of Title IV 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), located in a region in which that Chapter is applied and who leave the sector and renounce their right to the aid, should be offered the possibility of benefiting from conversion measures.
(6) The provisions on calculating the total Community aid for conversion measures per producer holding a production quota for the 2005 harvest in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 2848/98 of 22 December 1998 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 as regards the premium scheme, production quotas and the specific aid to be granted to producer groups in the raw tobacco sector (4) should also be amended.
(7) To allow Member States sufficient time to draw up their projected financing plans for 2006 for conversion measures, the deadlines for notification of the plans to the Commission and, consequently, for the definitive allocation of resources among Member States should be extended.
(8) The provisions laying down the criteria on the basis of which the Commission fixes the indicative allocation between the Member States of financing under the Community Tobacco Fund and the provisions on penalties in the event of irregularities should also be amended.
(9) To give the Member States sufficient time to implement the projects, in particular general interest measures and studies provided for in Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 2182/2002 relating to crop trials lasting two years, they should be allowed the possibility of extending the two-year period initially specified by six months.
(10) Regulation (EC) No 2182/2002 should be amended accordingly.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Tobacco,
Regulation (EC) No 2182/2002 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 15(1) is replaced by the following:
2. Article 16(2) is replaced by the following:

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 911/2001(2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1148/2001 of 12 June 2001 on checks on conformity to the marketing standards applicable to fresh fruit and vegetables(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2379/2001(4), lays down the conditions under which the Commission may approve checking operations performed by certain third countries which so request prior to import into the Community, in compliance with the conditions laid down in Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1148/2001.
(2) The Swiss authorities have sent the Commission a request for the approval of checking operations performed by Qualiservice under the responsibility of the Office fédéral de l'agriculture. This states that that establishment has the necessary staff, equipment and facilities to carry out checks, that is uses methods equivalent to those referred to in Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1148/2001 and that the fresh fruit and vegetables exported from Switzerland to the Community must meet the Community marketing standards.
(3) The information sent by the Member States and in the possession of the Commission shows that, in the period 1997 to 2000, imports of fresh fruit and vegetables from Switzerland presented a relatively low incidence of non-conformity with the marketing standards.
(4) For a number of years the Swiss inspection bodies, and their supervisory authorities, have been regular participants in international efforts to agree trading standards for fruit and vegetables, such as the Working Party on Standardisation of Perishable Produce and Quality Development of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) and the OECD Scheme for the Application of International Standards for Fruit and Vegetables.
(5) Imports of fresh fruit and vegetables by Switzerland from the Community are not subject to a quality check prior to release for free circulation on the Swiss market.
(6) Annex 10 to the Agreement on Trade in Agricultural Products between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation stipulates that the controls performed under the responsibility of the Office fédéral de l'agriculture are to be recognised by the Community, including those on products originating in the Community and re-exported from Switzerland into the Community. The relevant provisions of that Agreement should be implemented before they become applicable and consequently a derogation should be granted from Regulation (EC) No 1148/2001 as regards the origin of eligible products.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
1. Checks on conformity to the marketing standards carried out by Switzerland on fresh fruit and vegetables from Switzerland shall be approved in accordance with the conditions laid down in Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1148/2001.
2. By derogation from Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1148/2001, paragraph 1 shall also apply to fruit and vegetables originating in the Community re-exported from Switzerland to the Community.
3. Paragraphs 1 and 2 shall not apply to citrus fruit.
The official correspondent in Switzerland, under whose responsibility the checking operations are performed, and the inspection bodies in charge of carrying out those checks, as referred to in Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1148/2001, are given in Annex I to this Regulation.
The certificates referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1148/2001, issued following the checks referred to in Article 1 of this Regulation, must be drawn up on forms in conformity with the model given in Annex II to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from the date of publication in the C series of the Official Journal of the European Communities of the notice referred to in Article 7(8) of Regulation (EC) No 1148/2001 relating to the establishment of administrative cooperation between the European Community and Switzerland.

| COMMISSION DECISION of 4 October 1996 establishing the list of products belonging to Classes A 'No contribution to fire` provided for in Decision 94/611/EC implementing Article 20 of Council Directive 89/106/EEC on construction products (Text with EEA relevance) (96/603/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/106/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction products (1), as amended by Directive 93/68/EEC (2),
Having regard to Commission Decision 94/611/EC of 9 September 1994 implementing Article 20 of Council Directive 89/106/EEC on construction products (3), and in particular Article 1 (1) thereof,
Whereas Article 3 (2) of Directive 89/106/EEC states that in order to take account of different levels of protection for the construction works that may prevail at national, regional or local levels, each essential requirement may give rise to the establishment of classes in the interpretative documents and the technical specifications;
Whereas point 4.2.1 of Interpretative Document No 2 'Safety in case of fire`, contained in the Communication of the Commission with regard to the interpretative documents of Council Directive 89/106/EEC (4), justifies the need for different levels of the Essential Requirement as a function of the type, use and location of the construction work, its layout, and the availability of the emergency facilities;
Whereas point 2.2 of Interpretative Document No 2 lists a number of interrelated measures for the satisfaction of the Essential Requirement 'Safety in case of fire` which, together, contribute to the definition of a fire-safety strategy that can be developed in different ways in Member States;
Whereas point 4.2.3.3 of Interpretative Document No 2 identifies one of the measures prevailing in Member States that consists in limiting the generation and spread of fire and smoke within the room of origin (or in a given area) by limiting the contribution of construction products to the full development of a fire;
Whereas the definition of classes of the Essential Requirement depends partially on the level of such limitation;
Whereas the level of limitation may be expressed only by different levels of product performance, in the products end-use conditions, in reaction to fire;
Whereas point 4.3.1.1 of Interpretative Document No 2 specifies that to enable the reaction-to-fire performance of products to be evaluated, a harmonized solution will be developed which may utilize full or bench-scale tests that are correlated to relevant real fire scenarios;
Whereas this solution lies in a system of classes which are not included in the interpretative document but which were adopted in Decision 94/611/EC;
Whereas in the system of classes contained in Decision 94/611/EC, the category 'No contribution to fire` was established with a view to covering products which do not need to be tested for their reaction to fire and which are referred to as Classes A in Tables 1 and 2 and, additionally, in Table 1 as 'list of non-combustible products`;
Whereas Article 20 (2) of Directive 89/106/EEC indicates the procedure to be followed for the adoption of the provisions necessary for the establishment of classes of requirements in so far as they are not included in the interpretative documents;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on construction,
The materials, and products made from them, that are listed in the Annex to this Decision, shall, on account of their low level of combustibility and subject to the conditions also set out in the Annex, be classified in Classes A ('No contribution to fire`) as provided for in Tables 1 and 2 of the Annex to Decision 94/611/EC.
For the purpose of this classification, no reaction-to-fire testing of those materials and products made from them shall be required.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

Whereas, in order to facilitate the transition between the Spanish national system of production aid existing prior to accession and the Community system, certain principles concerning the grant of production aid should be waived in respect of Spain for the 1986/87 marketing year, and, in particular, account should be taken of the fact that there are no producer organizations in Spain;
Whereas, in the case of Portugal, in order to facilitate the setting up and recognition of such organizations in time for the 1986/87 marketing year, provision should be made for transitional measures under which organizations which do not yet have the structure provided for in Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 (3) could obtain provisional recognition;
Whereas, on account of the difficulties encountered in lauching the Community system of production aid in the new Member States, the period laid down for lodging olive growers' crop declarations should be extended until 30 April 1987;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
In Spain, for the 1986/87 marketing year, for the purposes of the grant of production aid for olive oil:

Olive growers whose production is at least 100 kilograms shall be determined in accordance with Article 2 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84;
(b) where an olive grower has sold all or part of his production of olives, the quantity qualifying for aid shall be that obtained by applying the oil yield fixed pursuant to Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 to the quantity of olives produced as shown on the sales invoice or any other document of a similar nature.
In Portugal, for the 1986/87 marketing year, notwithstanding Article 4 (1) (a) and (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84, a producer organization may not be recognized under the said Regulation unless:
(a) it consists, in the case of organizations producing and increasing the market value of olives and olive oil, of at least 100 olive growers;
or
(b) it consists, in other cases, of at least 400 olive growers; should one or more organizations producing and increasing the market value of olives and olive oil be a member of the organization in question, the growers concerned shall be considered individually for the purposes of calculating the minimum number of growers required.
For the 1986/87 marketing year, the crop declarations referred to in Article 3 (1) and (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84, shall be lodged in Spain and in Portugal by 30 April 1987 at the latest.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 November 1986.

(3) Bluetongue appears on List A of the International office of Epizootics (IOE). Its spread would be a grave risk to the Community and could have an international impact on trade.
(4) For the sake of clarity and transparency, Community measures should be adopted to prevent the spread of the disease, particularly with regard to movements from the territory of the Autonomous Community of the Balearic Islands of animals of species susceptible to bluetongue and their sperm, ova and embryos. Such measures will take account of the measures already adopted by the spanish authorities.
(5) Pending a meeting of the Standing Veterinary Committee and in collaboration with the Member State concerned, the Commission should take provisional protective measures with regard to movements of live animals of susceptible species from the territory of the Autonomous Community of the Balearic Islands,
Spain hereby bans the movement from the territory of the Autonomous Community of the Balearic Islands animals of species susceptible to bluetongue and their sperm, ova und embryos.
