COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 379/2012
of 3 May 2012
refusing to authorise certain health claims made on foods, other than those referring to the reduction of disease risk and to children’s development and health
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 on nutrition and health claims made on foods (1), and in particular Article 18(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 health claims made on foods are prohibited unless they are authorised by the Commission in accordance with that Regulation and included in a list of permitted claims.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 also provides that applications for authorisations of health claims may be submitted by food business operators to the national competent authority of a Member State. The national competent authority is to forward valid applications to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), hereinafter referred to as ‘the Authority’.
(3) Following receipt of an application the Authority is to inform without delay the other Member States and the Commission thereof and to deliver an opinion on the health claim concerned.
(4) The Commission is to decide on the authorisation of health claims taking into account the opinion delivered by the Authority.
(5) Following an application from Valio Ltd, submitted pursuant to Article 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, the Authority was required to deliver an opinion on a health claim related to the effects of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) on maintenance of defence against pathogenic gastrointestinal micro-organisms (Question No EFSA-Q-2010-01028) (2). The claim proposed by the applicant was worded as follows: ‘Lactobacillus GG helps to maintain defence against intestinal pathogens’.
(6) On 1 June 2010, the Commission and the Member States received the scientific opinion from the Authority, which concluded that on the basis of the data presented, a cause and effect relationship had not been established between the consumption of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and the claimed effect. Accordingly, as the claim does not comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, it should not be authorised.
(7) Following an application from Gelita AG, submitted pursuant to Article 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, the Authority was required to deliver an opinion on a health claim related to the effects of collagen hydrolysate on maintenance of joints (Question No EFSA-Q-2011-00201) (3). The claim proposed by the applicant was worded as follows: ‘Characteristic collagen peptide mixture (collagen hydrolysate) having a beneficial physiological effect on the maintenance of joint health in physically active people’.
(8) On 20 July 2011, the Commission and the Member States received the scientific opinion from the Authority, which concluded that on the basis of the data presented, a cause and effect relationship had not been established between the consumption of collagen hydrolysate and the claimed effect. Accordingly, as the claim does not comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, it should not be authorised.
(9) The health claims subject to this Regulation are health claims as referred to in point (a) of Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 and may benefit from the transitional period laid down in Article 28(5) of that Regulation. As the Authority concluded that cause and effect relationships have not been established between the foods and the claimed effects, the claims do not comply with Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, and therefore they may not benefit from the transitional period provided for in that Article.
(10) In order to ensure that this Regulation is fully complied with, both food business operators and the national competent authorities should take the necessary actions to ensure that, at the latest six months following the entry into force of this Regulation, the health claims listed in its Annex are no longer used.
(11) The comments from the applicants and the members of the public received by the Commission pursuant to Article 16(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 have been considered when setting the measures provided for in this Regulation.
(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and neither the European Parliament nor the Council have opposed them,
1. The health claims listed in the Annex to this Regulation shall not be included in the Union list of permitted claims as provided for in Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006.
2. However, the health claims referred to in paragraph 1 used prior to the entry into force of this Regulation may continue to be used for a maximum period of six months after the entry into force of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.333333 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 285 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal by the Commission,
In accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 251 of the Treaty(1),
Whereas:
(1) Decision No 1445/2000/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2000 on the application of areal-survey and remote-sensing techniques to the agricultural statistics for 1999 to 2003(2) will lapse on 31 December 2003.
(2) The need to have adequate information on land use and on the condition of crops is especially felt in the context of new developments in the common agricultural policy and with a view to enlargement, particularly for the analysis of interactions between agriculture, the environment and rural areas.
(3) The Commission's report to the European Parliament and the Council on the implementation of these measures over the period from 1999 to 2003 shows that it would be useful to continue them for a further four years.
(4) The procedures for implementing the measures contained in Decision 1445/2000/EC should be continued and enhanced in the light of the experience gained and the results achieved.
(5) The remote-sensing activities requiring further research and development in the period 2004 to 2007 are covered by the Sixth Framework Programme in the field of research and development(3).
(6) This Decision lays down, for the entire duration of the programme, a financial framework constituting, for the budgetary authority, the principal point of reference within the meaning of point 33 of the Interinstitutional Agreement between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission of 6 May 1999(4) on budgetary discipline and improvement of the budgetary procedure, for the budgetary authority during the annual budgetary procedure,

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Decision 2009/470/EC of 25 May 2009 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), and in particular Article 14 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 75 of the Financial Regulation and Article 90(1) of the Implementing Rules, the commitment of expenditure from the Union budget shall be preceded by a financing decision setting out the essential elements of the action involving expenditure and adopted by the institution or the authorities to which powers have been delegated by the institution.
(2) Decision 2009/470/EC lays down the procedures governing the financial contribution from the Union towards specific veterinary measures, including emergency measures. With a view to helping to eradicate foot-and-mouth disease as rapidly as possible the Union should contribute financially to eligible expenditure borne by the Member States. Article 14(4) of that Decision lays down rules on the percentage that must be applied to the costs incurred by the Member States.
(3) Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 349/2005 of 28 February 2005 laying down rules on the Community financing of emergency measures and of the campaign to combat certain animal diseases under Council Decision 90/424/EEC (2) sets rules on the expenditure eligible for Union financial support.
(4) Commission Implementing Decision 2011/730/EU of 9 November 2011 on a financial contribution from the Union towards emergency measures to combat foot-and-mouth disease in Bulgaria in 2011 (3) granted a financial contribution by the Union towards emergency measures to combat foot-and-mouth disease in Bulgaria in 2011. An official request for reimbursement was submitted by Bulgaria on 9 December 2011 and 24 January 2012, as set out in Articles 7(1) and 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 349/2005.
(5) The payment of the financial contribution from the Union is to be subject to the condition that the planned activities were actually implemented and that the authorities provided all the necessary information within the set deadlines.
(6) Bulgaria has in accordance with Article 14(3) of Decision 2009/470/EC without delay informed the Commission and the other Member States of the measures applied in accordance with Union legislation on notification and eradication and the results thereof. The request for reimbursement was, as required in Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 349/2005, accompanied by a financial report, supporting documents, an epidemiological report on each holding where the animals have been slaughtered or destroyed and the results of respective audits.
(7) The Commission’s observations, method of calculating the eligible expenditure and final conclusions were communicated to Bulgaria on 19 June 2012. Bulgaria agreed by e-mail dated 20 June 2012.
(8) Consequently the total amount of the financial support from the Union to the eligible expenditure incurred in connection with the eradication of foot-and-mouth disease in Bulgaria in 2011 can now be fixed.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The financial contribution from the Union towards the expenditure associated with eradicating foot-and-mouth disease in Bulgaria in 2011 is fixed at EUR 463 583,37.

32007D0265 | 2007/265/EC: Commission Decision of 26 April 2007 amending Annex E to Council Directive 92/65/EEC to include additional health measures for the trade in live bees, and to update the health certificates models (notified under document number C(2007) 1811) (Text with EEA relevance )
| 1.5.2007 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 114/17
COMMISSION DECISION
of 26 April 2007
amending Annex E to Council Directive 92/65/EEC to include additional health measures for the trade in live bees, and to update the health certificates models
(notified under document number C(2007) 1811)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2007/265/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/65/EEC of 13 July 1992 laying down animal health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of animals, semen, ova and embryos not subject to animal health requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A (1) to Directive 90/425/EEC (1), and in particular Article 22 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The model certificate for intra-Community trade in live bees (Apis mellifera) is laid down in Part 2 of Annex E to Directive 92/65/EEC. In this health certificate, there are no animal health requirements as regards the small hive beetle (Aethina tumida) or the Tropilaelaps mite (Tropilaelaps spp.), as these infestations have never been recorded in the Community.
(2) However, to reflect the potential threat of these pests, their presence is now subject to a compulsory OIE (International Office of Epizootic Diseases) notification and protection measures on the importation of live bees from third countries have been laid down in Commission Decision 2003/881/EC (2).
(3) Despite these measures, should these pests be introduced into the Community, it is important that additional precautionary measures are in place to limit the spread of the disease throughout the Community. It is therefore opportune to review the certificate for intra-Community trade of live bees and bumble bees in order to introduce animal health requirements concerning the small hive beetle and the Tropilaelaps mite infestations.
(4) These requirements should be aimed at limiting the movements of live bees (Apis mellifera) and bumble bees (Bombus spp.) from infected areas. Taking into account the capacity of the small hive beetle and the Tropilaelaps mite to spread quickly, the area to consider under restriction in the case of an outbreak of this disease should be at least 100 kilometres around the infected premises.
(5) In addition, the Trade Control and Expert System (Traces), an integrated computerised veterinary system, was established in accordance with Commission Decision 2003/623/EC (3). For Traces to work as effectively as possible, the models for the certificates for intra-Community trade should be compatible with this electronic system.
(6) Therefore, the health certificates in Annex E to Directive 92/65/EEC should be amended in order to facilitate the operation of Traces, and the health certificate in Part 2 of Annex E should, in addition, be modified to include the additional health measures for the trade in live bees and bumble bees.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex E to Directive 92/65/EEC is replaced by the Annex to this Decision.
This decision shall apply from 1 May 2007.

Whereas their Agreement is reflected in the Agreement constituted in the form of an agreed minute, an exchange of letters, an exchange of notes and the Annexes thereto between the European Community and Canada on fisheries in the context of the NAFO Convention, which was signed on 20 April 1995;
Whereas it is in the Community's interest to approve the said Agreement,
The Agreement constituted in the form of an agreed minute, an exchange of letters, an exchange of notes and the Annexes thereto between the European Community and Canada on fisheries in the context of the NAFO Convention is approved.

| COMMISSION DECISION of 28 July 1981 on the list of establishments in the Federative Republic of Brazil approved for the purpose of importing fresh beef and veal and meat of domestic solipeds into the Community (81/713/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from third countries (1), and in particular Articles 4 (1) and 18 (1) (a) and (b) thereof,
Whereas establishments in non-member countries cannot be authorized to export fresh meat to the Community unless they satisfy the general and special conditions laid down in Directive 72/462/EEC;
Whereas the Federative Republic of Brazil has forwarded, in accordance with Article 4 (3) of Directive 72/462/EEC, a list of the establishments authorized to export to the Community;
Whereas Community on-the-spot inspections have shown that the hygiene standards of many of these establishments are sufficient and they may therefore be entered on a first list, established according to Article 4 (1) of the said Directive, of establishments from which importation of fresh meat may be authorized;
Whereas the case of the other establishments proposed by Brazil must be re-examined on the basis of additional information regarding their hygiene standards and their ability to adapt quickly to the Community legislation;
Whereas, in the meantime and so as to avoid any abrupt interruption of existing trade flows, these establishments may be authorized temporarily to continue their exports of fresh meat to those Member States prepared to accept them;
Whereas it will therefore be necessary to re-examine and, if necessary, amend this Decision in the light of measures taken to this end and improvements made;
Whereas it should be recalled that imports of fresh meat are also subject to other Community veterinary legislation, particularly as regards health protection requirements, including the special provisions for Denmark, Ireland and the United Kingdom;
Whereas the conditions of importation of fresh meat from establishments appearing on the list annexed to this Decision remain subject to provisions laid down elsewhere and to the general provisions of the Treaty ; whereas, in particular, the importation from non-member countries and the re-exportation to other Member States of certain categories of meat, such as meat weighing less than three kilograms or meat containing residues of certain substances which are not yet covered by harmonized Community rules, remain subject to the health legislation of the importing Member State;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
1. The establishments in the Federative Republic of Brazil listed in the Annex are hereby approved for the purposes of the importation of fresh beef and veal and meat of domestic solipeds into the Community.
2. Imports from those establishments shall remain subject to the Community veterinary provisions laid down elsewhere, and in particular those concerning health protection requirements.
1. Member States shall prohibit imports of the categories of fresh meat referred to in Article 1 (1) (1) OJ No L 302, 31.12.1972, p. 28. coming from establishments other than those listed in the Annex.
2. This prohibition, however, shall not apply until 1 May 1982 to establishments which are not listed in the Annex but which have been officially approved and proposed by the Brazilian authorities as of 1 July 1981 pursuant to Article 4 (3) of Directive 72/462/EEC, unless a decision is taken to the contrary, in accordance with Article 4 (1) of the abovementioned Directive, before 1 May 1982.
The Commission shall forward the list of these establishments to the Member States.
This Decision shall enter into force on 1 October 1981.
This Decision shall be reviewed and, if necessary, amended before 1 March 1982.

COUNCIL DECISION 2008/918/CFSP
of 8 December 2008
on the launch of a European Union military operation to contribute to the deterrence, prevention and repression of acts of piracy and armed robbery off the Somali coast (Atalanta)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 17(2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Joint Action 2008/851/CFSP of 10 November 2008 on a European Union military operation to contribute to the deterrence, prevention and repression of acts of piracy and armed robbery off the Somali coast (1) (ATALANTA), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In its Resolution 1814 (2008) on the situation in Somalia, adopted on 15 May 2008, the UN Security Council called on States and regional organisations, in close coordination with one another, to take action to protect shipping involved in the transport and delivery of humanitarian aid to Somalia and UN-authorised activities.
(2) In its Resolution 1816 (2008) on the situation in Somalia, adopted on 2 June 2008, the UN Security Council expressed its concern at the threat that acts of piracy and armed robbery against vessels pose to the delivery of humanitarian aid to Somalia, the safety of commercial maritime routes and international navigation. The UN Security Council encouraged, in particular, States interested in the use of commercial maritime routes off the coast of Somalia to increase and coordinate their efforts to deter acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea in cooperation with the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia (TFG).
(3) In its Resolution 1838 (2008) concerning the situation in Somalia, adopted on 7 October 2008, the UN Security Council commended the ongoing planning process towards a possible European Union naval operation, as well as other international or national initiatives taken with a view to implementing Resolutions 1814 (2008) and 1816 (2008), and urged all States that have the capacity to do so to cooperate with the TFG in the fight against piracy and armed robbery at sea, in conformity with the provisions of Resolution 1816 (2008). It also urged all States and regional organisations, in conformity with the provisions of Resolution 1814 (2008), to continue to take action to protect the World Food Programme maritime convoys, which is vital to bring humanitarian assistance to the Somali population.
(4) The Somali Transitional Federal Government informed the United Nations Secretary-General by letter dated 14 November 2008 of the offer made to it, in conformity with paragraph 7 of Resolution 1816 (2008).

| COMMISSION DECISION of 23 December 1992 on the AIMA national programme on aid to agricultural operators for the export of citrus fruit to the USSR and the east European countries (Only the Italian text is authentic)
(93/175/EEC)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 93 (2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1754/92 (2), and in particular Article 31 thereof,
After giving notice (3), in accordance with Article 93 (2) of the Treaty, to those concerned to submit their comments,
Whereas:
I 1. The Italian Permanent Representation to the European Communities notified the Commission by letter No 3857 of 3 April 1991, recorded as received on 18 April 1991, of the aid measures in question pursuant to Article 93 (3) of the EEC Treaty.
2. The aid measures in question were drawn up on the basis of the CIPE (Comitato Interministeriale per la Programmazione Economica) decision of 24 May 1990.
3. The aid measures provide for aid of Lit 150 per kilogram of citrus fruit exported in respect of a total quantity of 200 000 quintals.
The recipients are individual and associated agricultural operators.
The aid was introduced to facilitate the marketing of higher-quality citrus fruit in the east European countries and the USSR.
II 1. By letter No SG(91) D/12651 of 3 July 1991 the Commission notified the Italian Government that it had decided to initiate the procedure provided for in Article 93 (2) of the Treaty in respect of the aid.
2. By that letter the Commission informed the Italian authorities that it considered the aid to be operating aid, which it has consistently regarded as incompatible with the common market pursuant to Articles 92, 93 and 94 of the Treaty; such aid has the direct effect of artificially lowering cost prices and improving production conditions and market outlets for the producers concerned as compared with producers in other Member States not in receipt of comparable aid.
As the products concerned are the subject of intra-Community trade (see point V), the aid is consequently liable to distort competition and affect trade between the Member States; it meets the criteria in Article 92 (1) of the Treaty without being eligible under any of the exceptions set out in Article 92 (2) and (3) thereof.
The Commission also pointed out that the Community rules on the market organization for fruit and vegetables (Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72) form a complete and comprehensive system which precludes the possibility of Member States' taking further measures independently.
The aid in question consequently constitutes an infringement of the Community provisions.
3. Under the aforementioned procedure, the Commission gave notice to the Italian Government to submit its comments.
The Commission also gave notice to the other Member States and interested parties other than Member States to submit their comments.
III By letter of 5 August 1991 the Italian Government replied to the Commission's letter of formal notice and made the following observations:
(a) although the Commission's assertions cannot be disputed from a legal viewpoint, it should be emphasized that the measure covers a limited quantity (200 000 quintals) and a certain period only;
(b) the exceptional and temporary nature of the measure, which is intended to resolve a very difficult short-term situation on the market in Italy, should therefore be underlined;
(c) lastly, account must be taken of the highly limited funds (Lit 3 000 million) involved, which cannot therefore be considered liable to distort competition.
IV With regard to the arguments put forward by the Italian authorities, the following should be stressed.
To solve the difficulties on the market for citrus fruit, any measure necessary must be taken within the framework of the market organization with a view in particular to preventing even greater difficulties emerging as a result of unilateral national measures, which may shift problems arising in the regions benefiting from such measures to other citrus-producing regions where such support is not provided.
The difficulties on the market for citrus fruit are not new; a feature of this market is long-term structural surpluses of numerous products, which have not yet been disposed of despite the Community structural improvement programmes introduced for citrus fruit in Italy. The aim of the aid scheme in question is to promote the marketing of Italian citrus fruit; the result is thus to encourage production of the crops receiving aid. Such aid therefore tends to defeat the purpose of the structural measures laid down in the Community programmes to provide a lasting solution to such persistent difficulties observed in Italy.
The Commission does not consider that the measure in question can provide a solution to the socio-strucural difficulties of the citrus industry on account of the nature of the aid itself and the adverse effects it may have on measures to improve the industry.
The granting of the export aid in question encourages existing citrus plantations to be maintained and may possibly lead to a rise in production. It may even result in an increase in supply to the market and thus affect intra-Comunity trade.
The aid measure in question cannot be considered compatible with the common market as it is in conflict with the arrangements under the market organization for fruit and vegetables, which provide for a refund on exports to third countries (Article 30 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72).
The argument concerning the small size of the funds involved cannot be accepted. In accordance with the decisions of the Court of Justice of the European Communities, the relativelvy low level of aid does not of itself rule out the possibility that trade between Member States may be affected (judgments of 17 September 1980 in Case 730/79 Philip Morris v. Commission, [1980] ECR 2671; of 15 January 1986 in Case 52/84, Commission v. Belgium, [1986] ECR 89; of 10 July 1986 in Case 234/84, Belgium v. Commission, [1986] ECR 2263; of 11 November 1987 in Case 259/85, France v. Commission, [1987] ECR 4393; of 21 March 1990 in Case C-142/87, Belgium v. Commission, [1990] ECR I-959).
V During the 1990/91 marketing year, Italian citrus production amounted to 2 930 000 tonnes and that of the Community to approximately 8 965 000 tonnes. During the same period, Italian citrus fruit imports from other Member States totalled 48 000 tonnes and those from third countries 57 000 tonnes. Italian exports of such products to the other Member States amounted to 162 000 tonnes while exports to third countries were 170 000 tonnes.
The aid for exports amounting to 20 000 tonnes is accordingly likely to have a significant effect on trade.
VI 1. Articles 92, 93 and 94 of the Treaty apply to citrus-fruit production and trade pursuant to Article 31 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72.
The aid in question affords a special advantage directly to exporters and indirectly to citrus growers by providing them artificially with a financial contribution they could not have secured on the market normal conditions. It consequently has the effect of distorting competition between recipients and other operators not in receipt of that aid in Italy and the other Member States.
Aid of type can have the effect of encouraging producers to maintain or even increase citrus production.
The measure in question therefore meets the criteria laid down in Article 92 (1) of the Treaty, which states that such aid is incompatible in principle with the common market.
2. Furthermore, account should be taken of the fact that the aid relates to a product subject to a common organization for the market and that there are limits to the Member States' power to intervene in the operation of market organizations entailing a system of common prices, for which the Community has exclusive competence.
The common organizations of the market should be considered complete, comprehensive systems which preclude any power on the part of Member States to take supplementary market measures.
The grant of the aid in question is not in accordance with the conditions laid down under the market organization for fruit and vegetables, which do not permit the grant of national aid of this type.
The aid should therefore be deemed to infringe Community rules.
3. The exceptions to the principle of incompatibility with the common market provided for in Article 92 (2) do not apply to the aid in question. Those set out in Article 92 (3) refer to the objectives pursued in the interest of the Community and not only in that of particular sectors of the national economy. Such exceptions must be interpreted strictly.
They may in particular apply where the aid is necesary to achieve one of the objectives covered by those provisions. Where aid does not meet those conditions, to allow an exception to be made would be tantamount to permitting trade between Member States to be affected and distortion for competition which is not warranted having regard to the Community interest and at the same time allowing producers of certain Member States to enjoy undue benefits.
In the case in point, there is no evidence to suggest that the aid meets one of those objectives. The Italian Government has not provided and the Commission has not discovered any grounds allowing it to be established that the aid in question meets the conditions laid down for the application of an exception pursuant to Article 92 (3) of the Treaty.
The aid measure is not intended to promote the execution of an important project of comon European interest within the meaning of Article 92 (3) (b) since it runs counter ot the common interest by virtue of the effects it may have on trade.
Moreover, it is not intended to remedy serious disturbance in the economy of the Member States concerned within the meaning of that provision.
As regards the exceptions provided for in Article 92 (3) (a) and (c) in respect of aid to promote an facilitate the economic development of certain areas and of certain activities referred ot in (c), it should be noted that the measure cannot bring about a lasting improvement in the conditions affecting the sector of the economy benefiting therefrom since, once the aid ceases to be granted, the sector will relapse into the same structural situation existing prior to the introduction of the State aid.
The aid in question is an artificial inducement to exporters of the produced concerned to maintain or even increase exports and has adverse effects on measures to improve the industry concerned. Furthermore, the aid provides only a purely provisional guarantee that it will protect jobs in the undertakings concerned.
As a consequence, the aid must be regarded as operating aid for the undertakings concerned, a type of aid to which the Commission has always been opposed since it is not subject to conditions enabling one of the exceptions provided for in Article 92 (3) (a) and (c) to apply.
Furthermore, even if the agricultural products concerned could have benefited from exception pursuant to Article 92 (3), the fact that the aid in question constitutes an infringement of the common organization of the market concerned rules out the operation of such an exception.
4. The aid in question is therefore incompatible with the common market wihtin the meaning of Article 92 of the Treaty and cannot therefore be implemented,
The aid decided on by the CIPE (Comitato Interministeriale per la Programmazione Economica), provided for in the decision of 23 October 1990 taken by AIMA (Azienda di Stato per gli interventi nel Mercato Agricolo), and entailing the grant of aid for the export of citrus fruit to the USSR and the east European countries is compatible with the common market within the meaning of Article 92 of the EEC Treaty and may not be implemented.
Italy shall inform the Commission within two months of notification of his Decision of the measure it has taken to comply therewith.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Protocol 5 annexed to the Third ACP-EEC Convention, signed at LomĂŠ on 8 December 1984 (1), provides that products originating in the ACP States which fall within subheading 22.09 C I of the Common Customs Tariff shall, until the entry into force of a common organization of the market in spirits, be allowed into the Community free of customs duties under conditions such as to permit the development of traditional trade flows between the ACP States and the Community and between the Member States; whereas the Community shall fix each year the quantities which may be imported free of customs duties on the basis of the largest quantities imported annually from the ACP States into the Community in the past three years for which statistics are available, increased by an annual growth rate of 37 % on the market of the United Kingdom and 27 % on the other markets of the Community; whereas, however, the annual volume can in no case be less than 170 000 hectolitres of pure alcohol; whereas, on account of the inherent particularities of the rum market, the quota period ranges from 1 July to 30 June;
Whereas in default of the Protocols provided for in Articles 180 and 367 of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, the Community has established by Council Regulation (EEC) No 691/86 (2) the arrangements for trade between Spain and Portugal on the one hand and the ACP States on the other;
Whereas, having regard to the levels reached by imports of the products concerned into the Community and the Member States during the past three years for which statistics are available, the annual quota volume would amount to 159 444 hectolitres of pure alcohol; whereas this volume is less than the threshold established by Protocol No 5, the quota volume for the period 1 July 1986 to 30 June 1987 must be fixed at 170 000 hectolitres of pure alcohol;
Whereas, during the past three years for which statistics are available, the corresponding imports by each of the Member States represent the following percentages of the imports into the Community from the ACP States of the products concerned:

Whereas, in view of these factors, of market forecasts for the products in question and of the estimates submitted by certain Member States, quota shares may be fixed approximately at the following percentages:
Benelux: 5,35
Denmark: 1,75
Germany: 29,02
Greece: 0,03
Spain: 0,15
France: 1,62
Ireland: 1,83
Italy: 0,44
Portugal: 0,02
United Kingdom: 59,79
Whereas an arrangement for using the Community tariff quota, based on an allocation between the United Kingdom on the one hand and the other Member States on the other, would seem likely to reconcile the application of the growth rates provided for in Protocol 5 with the uninterrupted application of the duty-free entry arrangements in respect of the said quota to all imports of the products concerned into the Member States until the quota is exhausted; whereas in order to reflect as closely as possible actual market trends for the products concerned, allocation of the Community tariff quota among Member States should be made in accordance with the requirements of the Member States; whereas, in this case, the tariff quota should be allocated among the Member States on the basis of the largest quantities imported annually into each Member State during the past two years and taking into account the abovementioned growth rates;
Whereas measures should be laid down to ensure that Protocol 5 is implemented under conditions such as to permit the development of traditional trade flows between the ACP States and the Community, on the one hand, and between the Member States on the other;
Whereas owing to the special character of the products in question and their sensitivity on Community markets, exceptional provision should be made for a method of use based on a single division among Member States;
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 share allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
1. From 1 July 1986 to 30 June 1987 rum, arrack and tafia falling within subheading 22.09 C I of the Common Customs Tariff and originating in the ACP States shall be imported duty free into the Community within the limits of a Community tariff quota of 170 000 hectolitres of pure alcohol.
2. Within the limit of their shares, as indicated in Article 2, the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic shall apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions of the 1985 Act of Accession and of Regulation (EEC) No 691/86.
1. The tariff quota referred to in Article 1 shall be divided into two instalments. A first instalment of 101 650 hectolitres of pure alcohol shall be for United Kingdom consumption. A second instalment of 68 350 hectolitres of pure alcohol shall be allocated among the other Member States.
2. The shares of each of the Member States to which the second instalment is allocated shall consist of the following quantities:
1.2 // // (hectolitres of pure alcohol) // Benelux: // 9 100 // Denmark: // 2 970 // Germany: // 49 330 // Greece: // 50 // Spain: // 260 // France: // 2 750 // Ireland: // 3 110 // Italy: // 750 // Portugal: // 30
1. Member States shall manage the shares allocated to them in accordance with their own arrangements.
2. The extent to which the Member States have taken up their shares shall be determined on the basis of the imports of the products in question, originating in the ACP States, entered for customs clearance under declarations for free circulation.
1. Member States shall inform the Commission each month of imports actually charged against the tariff quota.
2. The United Kingdom shall take the steps necessary to ensure that the quantities imported from the ACP States under the conditions laid down in Articles 1 and 2 are restricted to those meeting its domestic consumption requirements.
3. The Commission shall regularly inform the Member States of the extent to which the tariff quota has been taken up.
4. Where necessary, consultations may be held at the request of a Member State or on the initiative of the Commission.
The Commission shall take all necessary measures, in close cooperation with the Member States, to ensure the implementation of this Regulation.
Council Regulation (EEC) No 1470/80 of 9 June 1980 on the safeguard measures provided for in the Second ACP-EEC Convention (1) shall apply to the products covered by this Regulation.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 31 August 2007
setting up the High Level Group of Independent Stakeholders on Administrative Burdens
(2007/623/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Whereas:
(1) On 24 January 2007 the Commission adopted the Communication entitled ‘Action Programme for Reducing Administrative Burdens in the European Union’ (1), in which it announced its intention to take a transparent approach towards implementing this Action Programme by involving stakeholders from all over the European Union and continuously benefiting from their input.
(2) The Action Programme was endorsed by the 2007 Spring European Council which underlined the goal of reducing administrative burdens by 25 % by 2012.
(3) The Commission is already consulting and cooperating on this topic with Member States' experts through the High Level Group of National Regulatory Experts on Better Regulation, but with a view to ensuring an equally effective interaction with the other stakeholders, whose input is indispensable for reaching the ambitious reduction target, and in accordance with the aforementioned Communication, the Commission may need to call upon the expertise of specialists in an advisory body.
(4) It is therefore necessary to set up a group of experts in the field of reduction of administrative burdens and to define its tasks and its structure.
(5) The group should advise the Commission with regard to the Action Programme, in particular on administrative burden reduction measures suggested by the consultants, through internet consultation and local workshops in the Member States.
(6) The group should be composed of high level independent stakeholders selected on the basis of their expertise in Better Regulation and/or the policy areas covered by the Action Programme. The Commission should ensure that the interests of small and large businesses, social partners, consumer and environmental organisations, including non-governmental organisations, are adequately represented.
(7) Rules on disclosure of information by members of the group should be provided for, without prejudice to the Commission’s rules on security as set out in the Annex to Commission Decision 2001/844/EC, ECSC, Euratom (2).
(8) Personal data relating to members of the group should be processed in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (3).
(9) It is appropriate to fix a period for the application of this Decision. The Commission will in due course consider the advisability of an extension,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4088/87 of 21 December 1987 fixing conditions for the application of preferential customs duties on imports of certain flowers originating in Cyprus, Israel, Jordan and Morocco and the West Bank and the Gaza Strip(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1300/97(2), and in particular Article 5(2)(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EEC) No 4088/87 lays down the conditions for applying a preferential duty on large-flowered roses, small-flowered roses, uniflorous (bloom) carnations and multiflorous (spray) carnations within the limit of tariff quotas opened annually for imports into the Community of fresh cut flowers.
(2) Council Regulation (EC) No 747/2001(3), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 209/2003(4), opens and provides for the administration of Community tariff quotas for cut flowers and flower buds, fresh, originating in Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, Malta, Morocco and the West Bank and the Gaza Strip respectively.
(3) Commission Regulation (EC) No 818/2003(5) fixes the Community producer and import prices for carnations and roses for the application of the import arrangements.
(4) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 700/88(6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2062/97(7), lays down the detailed rules for the application of the arrangements.
(5) On the basis of prices recorded pursuant to Regulations (EEC) No 4088/87 and (EEC) No 700/88, it must be concluded that the conditions laid down in Article 2(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 4088/87 for suspension of the preferential customs duty are met for small-flowered roses originating in Israel. The Common Customs Tariff duty should be re-established.
(6) The quota for the products in question covers the period 1 January to 31 December 2003. As a result, the suspension of the preferential duty and the reintroduction of the Common Customs Tariff duty apply up to the end of that period at the latest.
(7) In between meetings of the Management Committee for Live Plants and Floriculture Products, the Commission must adopt such measures,
For imports of small-flowered roses (CN code ex 0603 10 10 ) originating in Israel, the preferential customs duty fixed by Regulation (EC) No 747/2001 is hereby suspended and the Common Customs Tariff duty is hereby re-established.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EU) No 642/2010 of 20 July 2010 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 in respect of import duties in the cereals sector (2), and in particular Article 2(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 136(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 states that the import duty on products covered by CN codes 1001 19 00, 1001 11 00, ex 1001 91 20 (common wheat seed), ex 1001 99 00 (high quality common wheat other than for sowing), 1002 10 00, 1002 90 00, 1005 10 90, 1005 90 00, 1007 10 90 and 1007 90 00 is to be equal to the intervention price valid for such products on importation and increased by 55 %, minus the cif import price applicable to the consignment in question. However, that duty may not exceed the rate of duty in the Common Customs Tariff.
(2) Article 136(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 lays down that, in order to calculate the import duty referred to in paragraph 1 of that Article, representative cif import prices are to be established on a regular basis for the products in question.
(3) Under Article 2(2) of Regulation (EU) No 642/2010, the price to be used for the calculation of the import duty on products covered by CN codes 1001 19 00, 1001 11 00, ex 1001 91 20 (common wheat seed), ex 1001 99 00 (high quality common wheat other than for sowing), 1002 10 00, 1002 90 00, 1005 10 90, 1005 90 00, 1007 10 90 and 1007 90 00 is the daily cif representative import price determined as specified in Article 5 of that Regulation.
(4) Import duties should be fixed for the period from 1 December 2012 and should apply until new import duties are fixed and enter into force.
(5) Given the need to ensure that this measure applies as soon as possible after the updated data have been made available, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication,
From 1 December 2012, the import duties in the cereals sector referred to in Article 136(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall be those fixed in Annex I to this Regulation on the basis of the information contained in Annex II.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

of 9 November 2006
fixing the rates of the refunds applicable to certain cereal and rice products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in rice (2), and in particular Article 14(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provide that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of each of those Regulations and the prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 of 30 June 2005 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 as regards the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (3), specifies the products for which a rate of refund is to be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 as appropriate.
(3) In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question is to be fixed each month.
(4) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(5) Taking into account the settlement between the European Community and the United States of America on Community exports of pasta products to the United States, approved by Council Decision 87/482/EEC (4), it is necessary to differentiate the refund on goods falling within CN codes 1902 11 00 and 1902 19 according to their destination.
(6) Pursuant to Article 15(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, a reduced rate of export refund has to be fixed, taking account of the amount of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93 (5), for the basic product in question, used during the assumed period of manufacture of the goods.
(7) Spirituous beverages are considered less sensitive to the price of the cereals used in their manufacture. However, Protocol 19 of the Act of Accession of the United Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark provides that the necessary measures must be decided to facilitate the use of Community cereals in the manufacture of spirituous beverages obtained from cereals. Accordingly, it is necessary to adapt the refund rate applying to cereals exported in the form of spirituous beverages.
(8) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 and in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003, and exported in the form of goods listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 respectively, shall be fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 10 November 2006.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in rice (1), and in particular Article 10(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Articles 11a and 11c of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 lay down the mechanisms for calculating and periodically fixing the duties applicable to imports of husked rice falling within CN code 1006 20 and wholly milled rice and semi-milled rice falling within CN code 1006 30.
(2) In order to prevent the operation of those mechanisms being disrupted by improper import licence applications, Commission Regulation (EC) No 1342/2003 (2) should set the security for import licences for husked rice, wholly milled rice and semi-milled rice at a sufficiently high level.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 1342/2003 should therefore be amended.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
In Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 1342/2003, the following point (a)a is inserted:
‘(a)a EUR 30 per tonne, by way of derogation from point (a), for products falling within CN codes 1006 20 and 1006 30 in the case of import licences;’.

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 581/2004 of 26 March 2004 opening a standing invitation to tender for export refunds concerning certain types of butter (2) provides for a permanent tender.
(2) Pursuant to Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 580/2004 of 26 March 2004 establishing a tender procedure concerning export refunds for certain milk products (3) and following an examination of the tenders submitted in response to the invitation to tender, it is appropriate not to grant any refund for the tendering period ending on 14 June 2005.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3610/93 of 22 December 1993 relating to the continued import of New Zealand butter into the United Kingdom on special terms (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas detailed rules of application should be laid down in particular as regards verification of the origin and destination of the butter and the notifications to be provided by the United Kingdom; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3885/92 (2) must be repealed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,

3. The United Kingdom shall inform the Commission of the measures taken pursuant to paragraph 1 (b).
For the purposes of monitoring the maximum quantities referred to in Article 2 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 3610/93, account shall be taken of all the quantities in respect of which import declarations have been accepted during the period in question.
1. New Zealand butter imported into the United Kingdom pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 3610/93 shall, at all stages of marketing, bear a statement of its New Zealand origin.
2. However, where New Zealand butter is blended with Community butter which is intended for direct consumption, paragraph 1 shall apply only up to the stage of packing in small packages.
The United Kingdom shall inform the Commission of the steps taken to that end.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1697/79 of 24 July 1979 on the post-clearance recovery of import duties or export duties which have not been required of the person liable for payment on goods entered for a customs procedure involving the obligation to pay such duties (1), and in particular Article 10 (2) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1573/80 (2), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 946/83 (3), laid down provisions for the implementation of Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1697/79; whereas those provisions consist mainly or procedural rules specifying the circumstances in which the competent authorities of the Member States may decide for themselves whether or not to take action for post-clearance recovery and the circumstances in which such decision must be taken by the Commission; whereas a Commission decision is always required where the duties in question total ECU 2 000 or more;
Whereas experience has shown that in certain cases in which preferential tariff treatment has been granted when the limits within which such treatment could be granted have already been reached, failure by the competent authorities to require of the person liable for payment all or part of the amount of the import duties legally due on goods generally constitutes an error on their part which could not reasonably have been detected by the said liable person;
Whereas in such cases responsibility for taking a decision according to Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1697/79 may be transferred to the competent authorities of the Member States;
Whereas where the Commission has adopted a decision establishing that Article 5 (2) is applicable and where exceptional issues of fact or of law are involved which may arise again, it is advisable to provide for authorizing one or more Member States by that same decision to refrain from recovering the amount of duties in question in comparable cases without referring such cases to the Commission;
Whereas the Commission's decision-making procedure should be brought into line with that laid down in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3799/86 of 12 December 1986 laying down provisions for the implementation of Articles 4a, 6a, 11a and 13 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1430/79 on the repayment or remission of import or export duties (4);
Whereas it is desirable, for the sake of clarity, to set out in a new Commission Regulation all the provisions henceforth applicable for the practical implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1697/79 and, consequently, to repeal Regulation (EEC) No 1573/80;
Whereas it is appropriate to restrict the validity of the present Regulation to a period of two years in order to examine it in the light of experience;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Duty Free Arrangements,
This Regulation lays down provisions for the implementation of Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1697/79, hereinafter referred to as the 'basic Regulation'.
The competent authority of the Member State in which the error was committed or noticed and which resulted in insufficient duty being collected shall itself decide not to take action for the post-clearance recovery of the uncollected duties:
(a) in cases in which preferential tariff treatment has been applied in the context of a tariff quota or an allocated tariff ceiling when the limits laid down by that quota or tariff ceiling were reached at the time of acceptance of the customs declaration without that fact having, before the release for free circulation of the goods in question, been published in the Official Journal of the European Communities or, where such fact is not published, been made known in an appropriate manner in the Member State concerned, the person
liable having for his part acted in good faith and observed all the provisions laid down by the rules in force as far as his customs declaration is concerned;
(b) in cases in which it considers that the conditions laid down in Article 5 (2) of the basic Regulation are fulfilled and provided that the amount not collected from the person concerned in consequence of the same error and relating, where applicable, to a number of import or export operations, is less than ECU 2 000;
(c) in cases in which the Member State to which the said authority is subject has been so authorized in accordance with Article 8.
1. Each Member State shall send the Commission a list of the cases in which the provisions of Article 2 (a), (b) or (c) have been applied, giving a short summary of each case.
2. The list referred to in paragraph 1 shall be forwarded during the first and third quarters of each year for all cases where a decision not to recover was taken during the preceding half-year.
3. The Commission shall circulate the lists to all other Member States.
4. The lists shall be examined periodically by the Committee on Duty Free Arrangements.
Where, other than in the cases referred to in Article 2, the competent authority of the Member State in which the error was committed either considers that the conditions laid down in Article 5 (2) of the basic Regulation are fulfilled or is in doubt as to the precise scope of the criteria of that provision with regard to a particular case, that authority shall submit the case to the Commission, so that a decision may be taken in accordance with the procedure laid down in Articles 5 to 7. The relevant documents submitted to the Commission shall contain all the information required to enable a comprehensive examination of the case to be carried out.
As soon as it receives the relevant documents the Commission shall inform the Member State concerned accordingly.
Should it be found that the information supplied by the Member State is not sufficient to enable a decision to be taken on the case concerned in full knowledge of the facts, the Commission may request that additional information be supplied.
Within 15 days following receipt of the documents referred to in the first paragraph of Article 4 the Commission shall forward a copy thereof to the Member States.
Consideration of the case in question shall be included as soon as possible on the agenda of a meeting of the Committee on Duty Free Arrangements.
After consulting a group of experts composed of representatives of all Member States, meeting within the framework of the Committee on Duty Free Arrangements to consider the case in question, the Commission shall decide whether the circumstances under consideration are such that no action need to taken for recovery of the duties concerned, or that such is not the case.
Such decision shall be taken within six months of the date on which the documents referred to in the first paragraph of Article 4 are received by the Commission. Where the Commission has found it necessary to request additional information from the Member State in order that it may give a ruling, the period of six months shall be extended by a period equivalent to that between the date the Commission sent the request for additional information and the date it received that information.
The Member State concerned shall be notified of the decision referred to in Article 6 as soon as possible and in any event within 30 days of the expiry of the period specified in Article 6.
A copy of the decision shall be sent to the other Member States.
Where it is established by the decision referred to in Article 6 that the circumstances under consideration are such that no action need be taken for recovery of the duties concerned, the Commission may, under conditions which it shall determine, authorize one or more Member States to refrain from taking action for the recovery of duties in cases involving comparable issues of fact and of law.
In such a case, the decision referred to in Article 6 shall also be notified to each Member State so authorized.
If the Commission fails to take a decision within the period referred to in Article 6 or fails to notify a decision to the Member State concerned within the period in Article 7, the competent authorities of that Member State shall not recover the duties in question.

terminating the anti-dumping review concerning imports of personal fax machines originating in Japan and Singapore
(notified under document number C(1999) 2888)
(1999/607/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community(1) (hereafter referred to as "the basic Regulation"), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 905/98(2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
Measures in force
(1) By Regulation (EC) No 904/98(3) the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of personal fax machines, falling within CN code ex 8517 21 00 and originating, inter alia, in Japan and Singapore.
(2) The products concerned, as defined in Regulation (EC) No 904/98, are fax machines with a weight of five kilograms or less, with dimensions (width × depth × height) of the main body measuring 470 mm × 450 mm × 170 mm or less, with the exception of fax machines using ink-jet or laser or LED printing technology.
Review
(3) The Commission, after consultation, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities(4), decided on its own initiative, pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation, to initiate an interim review of the anti-dumping measures in force on imports of personal fax machines originating in Japan and Singapore.
(4) The decision to initiate the review followed a declaration made by the Commission and annexed to the Minutes of the Council session of 27 April 1998, whereby the Commission agreed to re-examine the existing anti-dumping measures concerning Japan and Singapore if the producers/exporters concerned "would submit sufficient evidence showing that the volume of the imports concerned into the Community is not such as to contribute substantially to the injury suffered by the Community industry". The reason for the declaration was that the investigation showed (respectively) zero or low levels of price undercutting for Japan and Singapore, and that the market shares of the two countries had to be assessed on the basis of estimates, due to the absence of sufficient cooperation.
(5) On the basis of the preliminary information received from certain producers in the countries concerned, the Commission considered that there were sufficient grounds to warrant the initiation of an exceptional early interim review of the existing measures concerning Japan and Singapore. The review has been limited to the issues of the import volumes and market shares of these two countries on the Community market.
Investigation
(6) The Commission officially advised the producers/exporters and the importers known to be concerned, as well as the representatives of Japan and Singapore, of the opening of the investigation and gave the parties concerned the opportunity to make their views known.
(7) The objective of the present review was to obtain an accurate estimate of the market share and export volumes of the two countries concerned. The Commission needed data from all producers/exporters of personal and business fax machines, in order to compare them with Eurostat results, which aggregate imports of business and personal faxes together. This comparison was the only possibility to determine more precisely the proportion of personal fax machines exported to the European Community.
(8) The Commission sent questionnaires to the producers/exporters that participated in the investigation which led to the existing measures, as well as to the producers/exporters of fax machines that provided the preliminary information on the basis of which this review was initiated.
(9) However, although the questionnaire for producers/exporters was already sent in a simplified version to these 29 producers of fax machines, only one producer submitted a reply, which was only partially complete.
(10) In view of the low level of cooperation and of the number of declarations issued by the companies concerned according to which they considered themselves to have no interest in providing any cooperation, the Commission, considering the exceptional nature of this review investigation, decided nevertheless to give a further opportunity to the companies to provide a minimum of data on exports concerning the year 1996 and a statement of their willingness to receive an on-the-spot verification.
This second attempt was equally unsuccessful. The majority of the producers did not provide the information requested and only one company accepted an on-the-spot verification visit.
(11) The limited information submitted by the interested parties in the course of the investigation is not such as to provide evidence for the Commission to depart from the findings of the original anti-dumping investigation regarding import volumes and market share for Japan and Singapore. Consequently, the conclusions drawn by the Council in the course of the original investigation remain valid and unchanged.
(12) Interested parties have been informed about the facts that led to the termination of the present investigation.
B. TERMINATION OF THE REVIEW
(13) In view of the circumstances set out above, the Commission concludes that the anti-dumping review should be terminated and the anti-dumping measures on imports of the product concerned originating in Japan and Singapore, as established by Regulation (EC) No 904/98, should remain in force,
The review of the anti-dumping measures concerning imports of personal fax machines, currently classifiable under CN code ex 8517 21 00 and originating in Japan and Singapore, is hereby terminated. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 of 21 June 2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (1), and in particular Article 12(2) and (3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Certain amounts available for the budget years 2007 to 2013 to the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) are set out in the Annex to Commission Decision 2006/410/EC of 24 May 2006 setting the amounts which, pursuant to Articles 10(2), 143d and 143e of Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003, Article 4(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 378/2007 and Article 23(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 are made available to the EAFRD and the amounts available for EAGF expenditure (2).

COMMISSION DECISION
of 23 November 2006
on harmonisation of the radio spectrum for radio frequency identification (RFID) devices operating in the ultra high frequency (UHF) band
(notified under document number C(2006) 5599)
(2006/804/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Decision No 676/2002/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on a regulatory framework for radio spectrum policy in the European Community (Radio Spectrum Decision) (1), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, a specific type of short-range devices, offers potentially significant economic and societal benefits in Europe. Different RFID applications are possible, such as automatic article identification, asset tracking, security and alarm systems, waste management, proximity sensors, anti-theft systems, location systems, data transfer to handheld devices and wireless control systems. The development of devices based on ultra high frequency (UHF) RFID in the EC will contribute to development of the information society and to promotion of innovation.
(2) Harmonised conditions and legal certainty for the availability of radio spectrum for UHF RFID devices are necessary to allow the identification of products incorporating UHF RFID or services relating to RFID to function throughout Europe. Ensuring a functioning internal market will assist the successful and rapid uptake of RFID technology by supporting economies of scale and cross-border use.
(3) The purpose of this Decision is limited to RFID systems in which the devices attached to the items to be identified have no autonomous source of energy for radio transmission and transmit solely by reusing the energy radiated onto them by reader devices. So their potential to cause interference to other spectrum users is typically limited. Therefore such devices can share frequency bands with other services which are, or are not, subject to authorisation, without causing harmful interference, and can co-exist with other short range devices. Their use should therefore not be subject to an individual authorisation pursuant to the Authorisation Directive 2002/20/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2). In addition, radio communications services, as defined in the International Telecommunications Union Radio Regulations, have priority over such RFID devices and are not required to ensure the protection of RFID devices against interference and RFID systems shall not cause interference to these radio communications services. Since no protection against interference can therefore be guaranteed to users of RFID devices, it is the responsibility of manufacturers of RFID devices to protect such devices against harmful interference from radio communications services as well as from other short range devices operating in accordance with the applicable Community or national regulations. Pursuant to Directive 1999/5/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual recognition of their conformity (3) (the R&TTE Directive) manufacturers should ensure, that RFID devices effectively use the radio frequency spectrum so as to avoid harmful interference to other short-range devices.
(4) On 11 March 2004 the Commission therefore issued a mandate (4) to the CEPT, pursuant to Article 4(2) of the Radio Spectrum Decision, to harmonise frequency use for short-range devices, including RFID devices. In response to that mandate, in its report (5) of 15 November 2004 the CEPT established the list of voluntary harmonisation measures which exist in the European Community for short-range devices and stated that a more binding commitment is required from Member States in order to ensure the legal stability of the frequency harmonisation achieved in the CEPT, in particular for the UHF spectrum used by RFIDs.
(5) The bands proposed by CEPT for harmonisation are covered for use by RFID by harmonised standard EN 302 208 adopted pursuant to Directive 1999/5/EC. This standard describes a listen-before-talk technique meant to provide appropriate mitigation levels to avoid harmful interference to other users in the band. The use of this standard or other relevant harmonised standards gives the presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the R&TTE Directive.
(6) Harmonisation under this Decision does not exclude the possibility for a Member State to apply, where justified, transitional periods or radio spectrum-sharing arrangements pursuant to Article 4(5) of the Radio Spectrum Decision.
(7) The use of spectrum is subject to the requirements of Community law for public health protection in particular Directive 2004/40/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (6) and Council Recommendation 1999/519/EC (7). Health protection for radio equipment is ensured by conformity of such equipment to the essential requirements pursuant to the R&TTE Directive.
(8) Due to rapid technological change, new UHF RFID and similar devices will emerge, which will require updates of spectrum harmonisation conditions, taking into account their economic benefits and the requirements of industry and users. Updates of this Decision will therefore be necessary to respond to new developments in the market and technology. If a review reveals the necessity to adapt the Decision, changes will be decided following the procedures specified in the Radio Spectrum Decision for the adoption of implementing measures. The updates could include transition periods to accommodate legacy situations.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Radio Spectrum Committee,
The purpose of this Decision is to harmonise the conditions for the availability and efficient use of radio spectrum for RFID devices operating in the ultra high frequency (UHF) band.
For the purpose of this Decision:
1. ‘RFID devices’ means devices for, inter alia, tracking and identification of items by the use of a radio system, consisting on the one hand of passive devices (tags) mounted on items and, on the other, of transmitter/receiver units (readers) which activate the tags and receive data back;
2. ‘non-interference, and non-protected basis’ means that no harmful interference may be caused to any radio communications service and that no claim may be made for protection of these devices against harmful interference originating from radio communications services.
1. Member States shall designate and make available, within six months after the entry into force of this Decision and on a non-exclusive, non-interference and non-protected basis, the frequency bands for RFID devices, subject to the specific conditions, as laid down in the Annex to this Decision.
2. Notwithstanding paragraph 1, Member States may request transitional periods and/or radio spectrum-sharing arrangements, pursuant to Article 4(5) of the Radio Spectrum Decision.
3. This Decision is without prejudice to the right of Member States to allow the use of the frequency bands under less restrictive conditions than specified in the Annex to this Decision.
Member States shall keep the use of the relevant bands under scrutiny and report their findings to the Commission to allow a timely review of the Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.166667 | 0 | 0 | 0.166667 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.166667 | 0.166667 |

of 29 July 2005
fixing the export refunds on cereal-based compound feedingstuffs
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 september 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(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.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organization of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 43(d) in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:

(2) An overall maximum amount of 345 539 tonnes of sugar held by the intervention agencies was available for resale. After the resale at the tenders held since 1 October 2008 a quantity of 34 081 tonnes of sugar remained unsold.

of 30 May 2006
opening and providing for the administration of an import tariff quota for young male bovine animals for fattening (1 July 2006 to 30 June 2007)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1), and in particular Article 32(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The WTO schedule CXL requires the Community to open an annual import tariff quota for 169 000 head of young male bovine animals for fattening. However, as a result of negotiations which led to the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the United States of America pursuant to Article XXIV:6 and Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994 (2), approved by Council Decision 2006/333/EC (3), the Community undertook to incorporate in its schedule for all Member States an adjustment of that import tariff quota.
(2) It is appropriate to lay down in the detailed rules for the management of this tariff quota that for the period from 1 July 2006 to 30 June 2007 the available quantity should be phased over the year in a suitable manner within the meaning of Article 32(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999.
(3) In view of the forthcoming entry into force of the Treaty of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the European Union, without prejudice to Article 39 of that Treaty, and in order to enable operators of those countries to benefit from this quota as of the date of their accession, the quota period should be divided into two sub-periods and the quantity available under this quota should be staggered over these periods, taking into account the traditional trade patterns between the Community and the supplier countries within this quota.
(4) In order to provide a more equal access to the quota while ensuring a commercially viable number of animals per application, each application of import licences should respect a minimum and a maximum number of heads.
(5) With a view to preventing speculation, the quantities available within the quota should be made accessible to operators able to show that they are genuinely engaged in import of a significant scale from third countries. In consideration of this and in order to ensure efficient management, the traders concerned should be required to have imported a minimum of 50 animals during the period from 1 May 2005 to 30 April 2006 given that a consignment of 50 animals may be considered to be a commercial viable consignment.
(6) To enable such criteria to be checked, applications should be presented in the Member State where the importer is entered in a VAT register.
(7) In order to prevent speculation, importers no longer involved in trade in live bovine animals at 1 January 2006 should be denied access to the quota and licences should not be transferable.
(8) Provision should be made for quantities for which licence applications may be requested to be allocated after a period of consideration and, where appropriate, once a uniform allocation coefficient has been applied.
(9) The arrangements should be managed using import licences. To this end, rules should be laid down on the submission of applications and the information to be given on applications and licences, where necessary by addition to or by way of derogation from certain provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 of 26 June 1995 on rules of application for import and export licences in the beef and veal sector and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 (4) and of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 of 9 June 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (5).
(10) Experience shows that a proper management of the quota also requires that the titular holder of the licence is a genuine importer. Therefore, such importer should actively participate in the purchase, transport and import of the animals concerned. Presentation of proof of those activities should thus also be a primary requirement with regard to the licence security, within the meaning of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2220/85 of 22 July 1985 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of securities for agricultural products (6).
(11) With a view to ensuring a strict statistical control of the animals imported under the quota, the tolerance referred to in Article 8(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 should not apply.
(12) The application of this tariff quota requires effective checks on the specific destination of the imported animals. The animals should therefore be fattened in the Member State which has issued the import licence.
(13) A security should be lodged to ensure that the animals are fattened for at least 120 days in designated production units. The amount of the security should cover the difference between the Common Customs Tariff duty and the reduced duty applicable on the date of release for free circulation of the animals in question.
(14) 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 24 070 young male bovine animals falling within CN code 0102 90 05, 0102 90 29 or 0102 90 49 and intended for fattening in the Community is hereby opened for the period from 1 July 2006 to 30 June 2007.
This tariff quota shall have the order number 09.4005.
2. The customs import duty applicable under the tariff quota referred to in paragraph 1 shall be 16 % ad valorem plus EUR 582 per tonne net.
The rate of duty provided for in the first subparagraph shall apply on condition that the imported animals are fattened for at least 120 days in the Member State which has issued the import licence.
3. The quantities referred to in paragraph 1 shall be staggered as follows:
(a) 12 035 live bovine animals for the period from 1 July 2006 to 31 December 2006;
(b) 12 035 live bovine animals for the period from 1 January 2007 to 30 June 2007.
4. If, during the period mentioned in paragraph 3(a), the quantity covered by licence applications submitted is less than the quantity available for that period, the remaining quantity of that period will be added to the quantity available for the period mentioned in paragraph 3(b).
1. To be eligible for the quota provided for in Article 1, applicants must be natural or legal persons and must prove to the satisfaction of the competent authorities of the Member State concerned, at the time they submit their applications for import licences, that they have imported at least 50 animals covered by CN code 0102 90 during the period from 1 May 2005 to 30 April 2006.
Subject to the entry into force of the Treaty of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania on 1 January 2007, operators in those countries may apply for import licences in relation to the quantity available for the second sub-period of this quota as referred to in Article 1(3)(b), provided they have imported at least 50 animals covered by CN code 0102 90 during the period from 1 May 2005 to 30 April 2006.
Applicants must be listed in a national VAT register.
2. Proof of import shall be furnished exclusively by means of the customs document of release for free circulation, duly endorsed by the customs authorities and containing a reference to the applicant concerned as being the consignee.
Member States may accept copies of the document referred to in the first subparagraph, duly certified by the competent authority. Where such copies are accepted, notification thereof shall be made in the communication from Member States referred to in Article 3(5) in respect of each applicant concerned.
3. Operators who at 1 January 2006 have ceased their activities in trade with third countries in the beef and veal sector shall not qualify for any application.
4. A company formed by the merger of companies each having reference imports complying with the minimum quantity referred to in paragraph 1 may use those reference imports as a basis for its application.
1. Applications for import licences may be submitted only in the Member State in which the applicant is registered for VAT purposes.
2. Applications for import licences per each period referred to in Article 1(3):
(a) must cover at least 50 animals;
(b) may not cover more than 5 % of the quantity available.
Where applications exceed the quantity referred to in point (b) of the first subparagraph, the excess shall be disregarded.
3. Applications for import licences for the period referred to in Article 1(3)(a) shall be submitted during the 10 working days following the publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Applications for import licences for the period as referred to in Article 1(3)(b) shall be submitted during the first 10 working days of that period.
4. Applicants may lodge no more than one application each per period referred to in Article 1(3). Where the same applicant lodges more than one application, all applications from that applicant shall be inadmissible.
5. After verification of the documents presented, Member States shall forward to the Commission, by the 5th working day following the end of the period for the submission of applications at the latest, the list of applicants and their addresses as well as the quantities applied for.
All notifications, including ‘nil’ returns, shall be forwarded by fax or e-mail using the model form in Annex I in cases where applications have actually been submitted.
1. Following the notification referred to in Article 3(5), the Commission shall decide as soon as possible to which extent the applications can be met.
2. If the quantities covered by applications as referred to in Article 3 exceed those available for the period in question, the Commission shall fix a single allocation coefficient to be applied to the quantities applied for.
Where application of the allocation coefficient provided for in the first subparagraph gives a figure of less than 50 head per application, the quantity available shall be awarded by the Member States concerned by drawing lots for import rights covering 50 head each. Where the remainder lot is less than 50 head it shall be considered a single lot.
3. Licences shall be issued as soon as possible subject to the Commission's decision regarding acceptance of the applications.
1. Import licences shall be issued on the name of the operator who submitted the application.
2. Licence applications and licences shall show the following:
(a) in box 8, the country of origin;
(b) in box 16, one or several of the following Combined Nomenclature code: 0102 90 05, 0102 90 29 or 0102 90 49;
(c) in box 20, the order number of the quota (09.4005) and one of the endorsements provided for in Annex II.
1. By way of derogation from Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000, import licences issued pursuant to this Regulation shall not be transferable and shall confer rights under the tariff quotas only if made out in the same name and address as the one entered as consignee in the customs declaration of release for free circulation accompanying them.
2. By way of derogation from Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 import licences shall be valid for 180 days from their actual day of issue within the meaning of Article 4(3) of this Regulation. No import licences shall be valid after 30 June 2007.
3. The security relating to the import licence shall be EUR 15 per head and shall be lodged by the applicant together with the licence application.
4. Licences issued shall be valid throughout the Community.
5. Pursuant to Article 50(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000, the full Common Customs Tariff duty applicable on the date of acceptance of the customs declaration for free circulation shall be collected in respect of all quantities imported in excess of those shown on the import licence.
6. By way of derogation from the provisions of Section 4 of Title III of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000, the security shall not be released until proof has been produced that the titular holder of the licence has been commercially and logistically responsible for the purchase, transport and clearance for free circulation of the animals concerned. Such proof shall at least consist of:
(a) the original commercial invoice or an authenticated copy made out in the name of the titular holder by the seller or his representative, both established in the third country of export, and proof of payment by the titular holder or the opening by the titular holder of an irrevocable documentary credit in favour of the seller;
(b) the bill of lading or, where applicable, the road or air transport document, drawn up in the name of the titular holder, for the animals concerned;
(c) proof that the goods have been declared for release for free circulation with the indication of the name and address of the titular holder as consignee.
1. At the time of import, the importer shall provide proof that he has:
(a) given a written undertaking to inform within one month the competent authority of the Member State of the farm or farms where the young bovine animals are to be fattened;

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),
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001 (2) lays down the detailed rules of application for export refunds on fruit and vegetables.
(2) Article 35(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides that, to the extent necessary for economically significant exports, the products exported by the Community may be covered by export refunds, within the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(3) Under Article 35(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, care must be taken to ensure that the trade flows previously brought about by the refund scheme are not disrupted. For this reason and because exports of fruit and vegetables are seasonal in nature, the quantities scheduled for each product should be fixed, based on the agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (3). These quantities must be allocated taking account of the perishability of the products concerned.
(4) Article 35(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides that refunds must be fixed in the light of the existing situation or outlook for fruit and vegetable prices on the Community market and supplies available on the one hand, and prices on the international market on the other hand. Account must also be taken of the transport and marketing costs and of the economic aspect of the exports planned.
(5) In accordance with Article 35(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, prices on the Community market are to be established in the light of the most favourable prices from the export standpoint.
(6) The international trade situation or the special requirements of certain markets may call for the refund on a given product to vary according to its destination.
(7) Tomatoes, oranges, table grapes and apples of classes Extra, I and II of the common quality standards can currently be exported in economically significant quantities.
(8) In order to ensure the best use of available resources and in view of the structure of Community exports, it is appropriate to fix the A1 and B export refunds.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
1. For system A1, the refund rates, the refund application period and the scheduled quantities for the products concerned are fixed in the Annex hereto.
For system B, the indicative refund rates, the licence application period and the scheduled quantities for the products concerned are fixed in the Annex hereto.

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), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 660/1999(2), and in particular Article 4a, Article 7, Article 9(5), Article 11 and Article 17(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 10(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 allows producers to deliver excess production amounting to up to 10 % of their quotas. Such a possibility may be severely restricted in the case of groups of varieties for which the guarantee threshold in respect of the following year is to be reduced. In order to ensure that the production quota system is applied with sufficient flexibility, in particular in the case of groups of varieties where a switch in crop is called for, it should be possible to draw in advance on unused quantities available in the national reserve in respect of the same harvest, notwithstanding the deadlines for the issuing of production quota statements and for concluding cultivation contracts laid down respectively in Articles 22(3) and 10(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2848/98(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 531/2000(4).
(2) Transfers of quotas must allow switches of crop to be made in line with market requirements for the various groups of varieties. Transfers must not affect quotas' economic viability and must therefore not involve any breakdown of quantities.
(3) Point C of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 2848/98 provides that producers are to receive nothing by way of the variable part of the premium on batches fetching between the minimum price and the minimum price plus 40 % for each group of varieties of the producer group. In order to prevent very low prices, albeit paid on very small quantities, from undermining the effectiveness of the variable premium system and impairing its efficacy as an incentive for improving quality, the Member States should be allowed to increase the minimum price by more than 40 %.
(4) In view of the amendments to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3887/92(5) introduced by Regulation (EC) No 2801/1999(6), Article 43 of Regulation (EC) No 2848/98 should be adapted.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Tobacco,
Regulation (EC) No 2848/98 is hereby amended as follows:
1. the following paragraph is added to Article 29:
"4. Where there is provision for a reduction in the threshold guarantee for a group of varieties in respect of the following harvest, the Commission may, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 23 of Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92, authorise interested Member States to bring forward the allocation of quantities of up to 10 % of the guarantee threshold for the same group of varieties and that are available in the national reserve for the group of varieties concerned pursuant to the second indent of the second subparagraph of paragraph 2.
Those quantities shall be allocated by the Member States, in accordance with the criteria applying for the allocation of the national reserve, in the form of additional production quotas for the same harvest as that during which those quantities remained unused.";
2. Article 33(1)(b) is replaced by the following:
"(b) the transferee already has a production quota for the group of varieties in question. The competent authority of the Member State may restrict that condition to cases where the transfer relates solely to part of the quantities entered in the production quota statement;"
3. the third and fourth indents of Article 43 are replaced by the following:
"- Article 7a for the inspection report,
- Article 7b for the on-the-spot check,";
4. in the last paragraph of point C of Annex V, "for the 1999 harvest" is deleted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Whereas:
(1) An invitation to tender for the export refund on rice was issued pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2281/2000(3).
(2) Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 584/75(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 299/95(5), allows the Commission to fix, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 and on the basis of the tenders submitted, a maximum export refund. In fixing this maximum, the criteria provided for in Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 must be taken into account. A contract is awarded to any tenderer whose tender is equal to or less than the maximum export refund.
(3) The application of the abovementioned criteria to the current market situation for the rice in question results in the maximum export refund being fixed at the amount specified in Article 1.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 170/83 of 25 January 1983 establishing a Community system for the conservation and management of fishery resources (1), as amended by the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal (2), and in particular Article 11 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas it is for the Community, pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 170/83, to determine the conditions subject to which these catch quotas may be used by Community fishermen;
Whereas, to ensure efficient management of the catch possibilities available, they should be allocated among the Member States as quotas in accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 170/83;
Whereas certain catch quotas between Member States for vessels fishing in Norwegian waters for 1989 were allocated by Regulation (EEC) No 4196/88 (3);
Whereas a catch quota of 10 570 tonnes of cod had been allocated to the Community in Norwegian waters north of 62°N for 1988; whereas the catches by certain Community vessels led to this allocation being exceeded;
Whereas the compliance with these catch limits constitutes a conservation measure aimed at ensuring the continuation of the fishing in the future and is also an international obligation by virtue of the Agreement on mutual fishing rights between the Community and Norway;
Whereas in these circumstances it is essential for the Community to compensate for the overfishing which has occurred; whereas this compensation should be effected, taking account of the principles contained in Article 11 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2241/87 of 23 July 1987 establishing certain control measures for fishing activities (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3483/88 (5), by reducing the share allocated for 1989 to the Member States whose fishermen were responsible for the overfishing;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to amend Regulation (EEC) No 4196/88,
In Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 4196/88, the figures relating to cod in ICES divisions I and II are hereby replaced by those set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

Whereas detailed rules for definition of lambs fattened as heavy carcases were adopted by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2814/90 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2583/95 (6);
Whereas, to harmonize the dates of premium application for producers benefiting from the derogation provided for in the second subparagraph of Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3901/89 with regard to lambs belonging to particular breeds in certain geographical areas, it is necessary to clarify the conditions under which producers may fatten their lambs before the beginning of the marketing year;
Whereas detailed rules for the application of the premium in favour of sheepmeat and goatmeat producers were adopted by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2700/93 (7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 279/94 (8), and in particular Article 2; whereas, in order to improve the management of the provisions governing the granting of the premium to ewes whose lambs are fattened as heavy carcases, it is necessary that the Commission receive information annually of the flock size and regional location of the number of ewes qualifying in the Member States; whereas, to this end, the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2770/93 should be adapted;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats,
In Article 2 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2814/90, the following subparagraph replaces the third subparagraph:

Having regard to Council Regulation No 79/65/EEC of 15 June 1965 setting up a network for the collection of accountancy data on the incomes and business operation of agricultural holdings in the European Economic Community (1), and particular Article 4(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Annex I to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1859/82 (2) fixes the number of returning holdings per division.
(2) Taking into account the changes in the Italian agricultural structures and the use of improved statistical methodologies for defining the number of holdings to be selected by region, type of farming and economic size class, the number of returning holdings per division in Italy should be adjusted so that the sample may better represent all the farm types present in the field of observation.
(3) Taking into account the changes in the Polish agricultural structures and the use of an increased number of types of farming used for stratification of the field of observation, the number of returning holdings per division in Poland should be adjusted so that the sample better represents all farm types present in the field of observation.
(4) Following the merging of the divisions ‘Entre Douro e Minho e Beira Litoral’ and ‘Trás-os-montes e Beira Interior’ into one division ‘Norte e Centro’ by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1469/2007 of 13 December 2007 amending the Annex to Council Regulation No 79/65/EEC as regards the list of divisions (3), the number of returning holdings per division in Portugal should be adjusted.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 33(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 33(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Given the present situation on the market in beef and veal, export refunds should therefore be fixed in accordance with the rules and criteria provided for in Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999.
(3) The second subparagraph of Article 33(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund according to destination.
(4) Refunds should be granted only on products that are allowed to move freely in the Community and that bear the health mark as provided for in Article 5(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (2). Those products should also comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (3), and of Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption (4).
(5) Pursuant to the third subparagraph of Article 6(2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1964/82 of 20 July 1982 laying down the conditions for granting special export refunds on certain cuts of boned meat of bovine animals (5), the special refund is to be reduced if the quantity of boned meat to be exported amounts to less than 95 %, but not less than 85 %, of the total weight of cuts produced by boning.
(6) Commission Regulation (EC) No 921/2006 (6) should therefore be repealed and replaced by a new Regulation.
(7) The Management Committee for Beef and Veal has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
1. Export refunds as provided for in Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 shall be granted on the products and for the amount set out in the Annex to this Regulation subject to the conditions provided for in paragraph 2 of this Article.
2. The products eligible for a refund under paragraph 1 must meet the relevant requirements of Regulations (EC) No 852/2004 and 853/2004, notably preparation in an approved establishment and compliance with the health marking requirements laid down in Annex I, Section I, Chapter III of Regulation (EC) No 854/2004.
In the case referred to in the third subparagraph of Article 6(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1964/82 the rate of the refund on products falling within product code 0201 30 00 9100 shall be reduced by 10 EUR/100 kg.

(notified under document number C(2006) 5276)
(Only the Italian version is authentic)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2006/941/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 88(2) thereof,
Having regard to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 62(1)(a) thereof,
Having called on interested parties to submit their comments pursuant to the provision(s) cited above (1),
Whereas:
(1) By letter dated 21 March 2005, Italy notified the Commission of the aid it intended to grant to AEM Torino for the stranded costs in the energy sector. The Commission asked supplementary information with letters dated 4 May 2005, 19 July 2005, and 14 November 2005. Italy provided the Commission with further information by letters dated 27 June 2005, 5 July 2005, 3 October 2005, 1st February 2006.
(2) By letter dated 4 April 2006, the Commission informed Italy that it had decided to initiate the procedure laid down in Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty in respect of the aid. Italy did not reply to the letter of the Commission and provided no observations in the procedure.
(3) The Commission decision to initiate the procedure was published in the Official Journal of the European Union
(2). The Commission called on interested parties to submit their comments.
(4) The Commission received no comments from AEM Torino. No other interested parties submitted observation either.
(5) The measure under assessment concerns the reimbursement that Italy intends to grant to AEM Torino for the stranded costs in the energy sector. AEM Torino is one of the so-called ‘aziende municipalizzate’ and is active, in particular, in the energy sector. The measure is based on a similar measure approved by the Commission on 1 December 2004 (3).
(6) The amount of the aid is EUR 16,338 million, to be given in the form of grants.
(7) Italy indicated its intention to submit an annual report on the implementation of the measure.
(8) Italy indicated that the measure under assessment cannot be cumulated with any other aid.
(9) On 5 June 2002, the Commission has taken a negative decision on State aid granted by Italy to public utilities owned by local public administrative bodies (hereinafter, ‘municipalizzate’) in the form of tax exemptions and subsidised loans to public utilities with a majority public capital holding (4) (State aid C 27/99, ex NN 69/98).
(10) The Commission decision declared such non-notified schemes unlawful and incompatible and imposed to the Italian State to recover any possible amount disbursed under those schemes (5).
(11) The recovery process has been very slow. Italy has adopted Law 18 April 2005, n. 62 whose article 27 provides for the recovery of the aid granted to the municipalizzate in application of the Commission decision. However, beneficiaries can be allowed to repay the aid in instalments, over a period of 24 months. Such provision has been enforced by a decision taken by the Agenzia delle Entrate on 1 June 2005.
(12) According to its own submissions in the pending Case T-297/02 ACEA v Commission, AEM Torino has benefited from the aid schemes assessed in the Commission Decision 2003/193/EC, both by benefiting from the tax exemptions in 1997, 1998 and 1999 and by receiving subsidised loans from the Cassa Depositi e Prestiti.
(13) Further, according to information provided by Italy, AEM Torino has submitted information, in the ordinary procedures of tax assessment and collection, pursuant to the decision of the Agenzia delle Entrate. AEM Torino should pay the ascertained amount of illegal aid within 60 days as from the communication of the result of the assessment that, according to the information sent by Italian authorities, should have been notified by the Agenzia delle Entrate not later than 11 January 2006. No information has been provided by Italy on the effective payment by AEM Torino in the deadlines indicated.
(14) According to the information sent by the Italian authorities in the present case, AEM Torino would not have benefited from loans granted by the Cassa Depositi e Prestiti.
(15) Since the Commission cannot control cumulation between the old illegal aid received in application of the Italian scheme for the municipalizzate and the new aid under examination, it has asked Italy to ensure that such effect was avoided by taking the commitment to pay the aid for the stranded costs only after the previous illegal aid had been paid back. Italy declined to do so.
(16) The Commission has found that the measure under assessment should be considered State aid.
(17) The Commission has then analysed the compatibility of the measure with State aid rules, in particular in light of the Commission Communication relating to the methodology for analysing State aid linked to stranded costs (6). It found that the methodology used for the calculation of the amount and the calculation itself did satisfy all the elements indicated in the Communication.
(18) However, in its judgement of 15 May 1997 (7), the Court of Justice has stated that ‘when the Commission examines the compatibility of a State aid with the common market it must take all the relevant factors into account, including, where appropriate, the circumstances already considered in a prior decision and the obligations which that decision may have imposed on a Member State’. According to the Court of Justice, a new aid may not be assessed as compatible with the common market as long as the old unlawful aid has not been repaid, since the cumulative effect of the aids may distort competition in the common market to a significant extent.
(19) Therefore, pursuant to the above case-law, the Commission assesses a new aid measure taking into account if the beneficiary of the new aid has fully repaid any previous aid that has to be recovered pursuant to a negative decision taken by the Commission.
(20) By applying the principle stated in the above judgement to the present case, the Commission realizes that: a) AEM Torino has benefited from a previous aid, notably the aid granted to the municipalizzate (see paragraphs 9 to 15 above), that has to be recovered pursuant to the Decision 2003/193/EC; and b) the Italian authorities have not complied yet with the recovery obligation contained in the Decision 2003/193/EC. It is true that this decision concerns a scheme, but it also orders recovery of illegal and incompatible aid paid out under that scheme. Moreover, AEM Torino has expressly admitted that it had benefited from that scheme and there are no reasons to believe that, in its particular case, the measures at stake do not constitute aid, or constitute existing aid, or have been declared compatible with the common market.
(21) After four years from the adoption of the Decision 2003/193/EC the Italian authorities still have to recover the illegal aids. They have informed the Commission that they are still in the process of fulfilling their recovery obligation by adopting and implementing the appropriate administrative measures.
(22) In particular Italy has indicated that AEM Torino has submitted a declaration to the Agenzia delle Entrate committing to pay the sums that the Agenzia will indicate. However, they have not been able to indicate:
— The amount that AEM Torino has to pay back in the recovery process;
— The conditions for the payment: Italy indicates that the company should pay back as of 11 March 2006, but failed to provide any assurance that the payment would be complete (including interests) and immediate (not using the 24 months delay foreseen in the Law 18 April 2005, n. 62).
(23) Further, it is unclear if AEM Torino has benefited from the subsidised loans granted by the Cassa Depositi e Prestiti which were declared illegal by the previous decision, and, in case it did, if it has reimbursed them.
(24) In conclusion, Italy has not clarified whether the previous aid that in all likelihood has been received by AEM Torino has been recovered yet. Based on the above mentioned information, it should be inferred that AEM Torino may have received and not yet reimbursed certain aid amounts granted under the scheme declared incompatible by the Decision 2003/193/EC.
(25) The Commission is unable to determine the amount of aid which AEM Torino had already received prior to the new aid under examination and which still has to be reimbursed and cannot assess the cumulative effect of both the ‘old’ and ‘new’ aid accruing to AEM Torino and its likely distortionary impact on the common market.
(26) The Commission, pursuant to the Deggendorf judgement, must take into account the circumstances already considered in a prior decision and the obligations which that decision may have imposed on a Member State and cannot decide upon the compatibility with the common market of a new aid as long as the old unlawful aid has not been repaid.
(27) Further, aid to reimbourse stranded costs cannot be cumulated with any other aid.
(28) Only a commitment to ensure that the payment of the new aid would follow after the full reimbursement of the previous aid would have avoided any risk of cumulative effect of the two aid measures and any distortion of competition, under the principle established by the Court in the Deggendorf judgement.
(29) Italy has been asked repeatedly to take such commitment but has refused to do so.
(30) Thus, the cumulative effect of the two aids was present but could not be fully assessed by the Commission. Therefore, at that stage, the notified aid could not be declared compatible with the common market.
(31) Neither Italy nor the beneficiary dispelled the doubts in the decision to open the procedure. Italy did not reply to the letter opening this procedure. AEM Torino neither submitted any information.
(32) The grounds on which the Commission opened the procedure have not been disputed. The measure constitutes an aid that can be declared compatible on the basis of the methodology for the stranded costs. However, because of the potential cumulation with a previous aid that the beneficiary has not reimbursed, the Commission cannot control the combined effect of the two aids.
(33) Italy has not provided any information that would allow the Commission to assess the potential cumulation. Furthermore, the recovery process has been particularly slow and difficult. Therefore, the Commission decided on 19 January 2005 to refer the matter to the Court of Justice under art. 88(2) of the EC Treaty, in order to ensure an immediate and effective execution of the Decision 2003/193/EC.
(34) On 1st June 2006, the Court ruled (8) that, by failing to take within the prescribed period all the measures necessary for repayment of the aid found to be unlawful and incompatible with the common market, Italy has failed to fulfil its obligations under that article.
(35) The Commission has to ensure that the granting of the new aid takes place only at a time when this risk of cumulation can be excluded, that is only after AEM Torino has fully reimbursed the illegal and incompatible aid received.
(36) As a consequence, the Commission has to follow closely that the condition mentioned above is fully respected.
(37) Consequently, Italy should be allowed to grant the new aid only after having submitted evidence to the Commission about the full recovery from AEM Torino.
(38) In light of the foregoing, the Commission confirms its assessment that the notified measure concerning aid for stranded costs that Italy intends to grant to AEM Torino is to be considered an aid which is compatible with the EC Treaty.
(39) However, the investigation has confirmed that the Commission is unable to control that the combined effect of the new aid and the previous illegal and incompatible aid brings about undue distortion of competition which could be contrary to the EC Treaty.
(40) Henceforth, acting on the basis of article 7 (4) of Regulation (EC) n. 659/1999 (9), the Commission concludes that the notified aid shall not be granted to the beneficiary before it will have reimbursed the previous illegal and incompatible aid.
(41) Finally, before granting the aid under assessment, Italy has to submit to the Commission evidence that the previous aid has been fully reimbursed by AEM Torino,
The aid which Italy is planning to implement for AEM Torino amounting to EUR 16,338 million for the stranded costs is compatible with the common market, subject to the conditions set out in Article 2.
The aid referred to in article 1 may not be granted before Italy has submitted evidence to the Commission that AEM Torino either has not benefited from previous aid granted under the ‘municipalizzate’ scheme declared illegal and incompatible by the Decision 2003/193/EC or that it has reimbursed with interests the previous aid received under the above-mentioned scheme.
Italy shall inform the Commission, within two months of notification of this Decision, of the measures taken to comply with it.

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) lays down the detailed rules of application for export refunds on fruit and vegetables.
(2) Article 35(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides that, to the extent necessary for economically significant exports, the products exported by the Community may be covered by export refunds, within the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(3) Under Article 35(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, care must be taken to ensure that the trade flows previously brought about by the refund scheme are not disrupted. For this reason and because exports of fruit and vegetables are seasonal in nature, the quantities scheduled for each product should be fixed, based on the agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (3). These quantities must be allocated taking account of the perishability of the products concerned.
(4) Article 35(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides that refunds must be fixed in the light of the existing situation and outlook for fruit and vegetable prices on the Community market and supplies available, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, prices on the international market. Account must also be taken of the transport and marketing costs and of the economic aspect of the exports planned.
(5) In accordance with Article 35(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, prices on the Community market are to be established in the light of the most favourable prices from the export standpoint.
(6) The international trade situation or the special requirements of certain markets may call for the refund on a given product to vary according to its destination.
(7) Tomatoes, oranges, lemons, table grapes and apples of classes Extra, I and II of the common quality standards can currently be exported in economically significant quantities.
(8) In order to ensure the best use of available resources and in view of the structure of Community exports, it is appropriate to proceed by an open invitation to tender and to set the indicative refund amount and the scheduled quantities for the period concerned.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
1. An invitation to tender for the allocation of A3 export licences is hereby opened. The products concerned, the tender submission period, the indicative refund rates and the scheduled quantities are laid down in the Annex hereto.
2. The licences issued in respect of food aid as referred to in Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 (4) shall not count against the eligible quantities in the Annex hereto.

(88/521/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 130Q (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
In cooperation with the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas, in adopting Decision 87/516/Euratom, EEC (4), as amended by Decision 88/193/EEC, Euratom (5), concerning the framework programme for Community activities in the field of research and technological development (1987 to 1991), the Council acknowledged the importance of activities relating to the environment, industrial safety, the science and technology of advanced materials, technical standards, measurement methods and reference materials;
Whereas the Joint Research Centre (JRC) as an integral component of the Community's R & D strategy defined in the framework programme must retain its institutional role of providing the Commission with neutral and independent scientific and technical support in the implementation of Community policies;
Whereas, whilst contributing to the general objective of strengthening the scientific and technological basis of European industry and encouraging it to become more competitive at international level, the JRC has as one of its tasks, in accordance with its terms of reference and on the basis of its technical expertise, to advise the Commission when laying down technical regulations and standards for the development and application of new technologies, on the environmental compatibility of such technologies and their possible negative effects on the quality of life;
Whereas, for the period covered by this Decision, the implementation of the specific research programmes will continue to be the JRC's predominant task, although the use of other forms of action will occupy an increasingly important part in the JRC's activity;
Whereas the JRC is in a position to contribute to the process of reducing the gap in technological development between the different parts of the Community and thereby to contribute to the strengthening of its economic and social cohesion;
Whereas it is therefore appropriate that the JRC should develop and strengthen its collaboration with research institutes in the Member States;
Whereas it is important to provide for the adequate dissemination of the results of the JRC's specific research programmes, whilst having due regard for the necessity to safeguard the Community's technological achievements and industrial property rights in respect of the results of research;
Whereas, in particular, the European Parliament and the Council should be kept well informed of the JRC's activities;
Whereas the role of the board of governors of the JRC will be strengthened by the Commission to enable the board to play a more effective part in the future organization of the Centre, its staff and financial management, and in the implementation of its research programmes;
Whereas the Scientific and Technical Research Committee (Crest) has expressed its opinion,
1. This Decision, which sets out the research activities of the Joint Research Centre (JRC) for the period 1988 to 1991, is hereby adopted with effect from 1 January 1988.
2. The research activities referred to in paragraph 1 are the implementation of the Community framework programme in research and technological development set out in Decision 87/516/Euratom, EEC, by means of specific research programmes and preparatory research.
3. The scientific and technical content of the specific research programmes referred to in paragraph 2 is outlined in Annex A.
The funds estimated as necessary for the execution of the activities referred to in Article 1 (2) amount to 251,7 million ECU, including expenditure on a staff of 690, reducing to 663 in 1991.
A breakdown of the amount of 251,7 million ECU between the various specific programmes to be executed is given in Annex A.
The Commission, assisted by the board of governors of the JRC, shall be responsible for carrying out this Decision and, to this end, shall call upon the services of the JRC.
The Commission shall decide on the terms of reference of the board of governors.
The Commission shall ensure, in cooperation with the board of governors, that periodic consultation be maintained with the relevant management and coordination advisory committees or equivalent committees with a view to ensuring coordination and consistency of approach between shared-cost actions and JRC activities in the same areas.
The research work implemented by the JRC pursuant to this Decision shall be evaluated by a panel of independent external experts set up by the Commission after consulting the board of governors.
The evaluation will cover the scientific, technical and economic results of research undertaken, its user-relevance, and its contribution to the overall objectives of Community research and development policy. The evaluation will also cover the impact of the administrative and financial restructuring of the JRC and of the new system for monitoring the special and general costs of the institutes. The evaluation will be carried out having regard to the programme objectives set out in Annex B to this Decision and in conformity with the provisions of Article 2 (2) of Decision 87/516/Euratom, EEC. The evaluation shall be submitted by the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council, together with the opinion of the board of governors of the JRC, at the end of 1989 and at the end or the period covered by this Decision.
The Commission shall each year before 31 March submit to the European Parliament and the Council a report on the implementation of this Decision. This report shall be accompanied by the observations of the board of governors. The board of governors may also submit through the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council a separate report on any aspect of the implementation of this Decision.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Government of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea on fishing off the coast of Equatorial Guinea (1), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Community and the Republic of Equatorial Guinea held negotiations to determine the amendments or additions to be made to the abovementioned Agreement on the expiry of the application period of the Protocol thereto;

of 19 August 2002
amending Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 laying down detailed rules for applying the cotton aid scheme
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Protocol 4 on cotton, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1050/2001(1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton(2), and in particular Article 19(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In order to ensure proper accounting of the respective quantities of unginned cotton involved, the concepts of production eligible for aid and of actual production as referred to in Article 16(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying the cotton aid scheme(3) should be defined.
(2) Article 17(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 authorises the Member States to restrict the areas eligible for aid based in particular on agro-environmental criteria. Should a Member State apply this provision, the quantities of cotton from areas exceeding the imposed limit can still be ginned and placed on the market but they cannot qualify for the Community aid scheme or be required to comply with the minimum price requirement.
(3) Article 15(4)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 provides for the transmission, no later than 15 May each year, of the information relating to the quantities for which aid has been approved. So as to have the most detailed possible information on the harvest coming to market, provision should also be made for the transmission of information on the quantities for which aid has not been approved.
(4) Article 13(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 states that the Member State should verify the accuracy of the declarations of areas by on-the-spot checks relating to not less than 5 % of the declarations. Article 9(2) of that Regulation provides for an adjustment in the declared areas if they differ from those found during the inspections. Having as precise information as is possible on the accuracy of the area declarations is an important element of the aid scheme's management, particularly as regards the measures taken under Article 17(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001. Provision should therefore be made for a time limit by which the on-the-spot checks of 5 % of the area declarations must be made, which makes it possible to verify effectively that national measures restricting the area under cotton have been complied with.
(5) With a view to managing the aid scheme soundly, Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 lists the information that must be submitted by the Member States to the Commission. Provision should also be made for notifying the measures taken under Article 14(1) and (2).

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1) and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation. Article 10 of that Regulation provides for the re-evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2).
(2) An enzyme preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 109.713) was provisionally authorised in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as a feed additive for use on chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1458/2005 (3). That additive was subsequently entered in the Community Register of feed additives as an existing product, in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 of that Regulation, an application was submitted for the re-evaluation of that additive and, in accordance with Article 7 of that Regulation, for a new use on ducks, requesting that additive to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(4) The use of that preparation was authorised for ten years by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1380/2007 (4) for turkeys for fattening.
(5) From the opinion of the European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) of 17 June 2009 (5) it results that the enzyme preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 109.713) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment. The Authority concluded that the use of that preparation is safe for chickens for fattening and ducks and can significantly improve their weight gain and/or feed to gain ratio. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(6) The assessment of that preparation shows that the conditions for authorisation, provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised, as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(7) As a consequence of the granting of a new authorisation under Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, the provisions on that preparation in Regulation (EC) No 1458/2005 should be deleted.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘digestibility enhancers’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
In Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1458/2005, the row concerning enzyme No 62, endo-1,4-beta-xylanase EC 3.2.1.8, is deleted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Whereas:
(1) Article 5 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the unit production aid must be reduced in each Member State where actual production exceeds the guaranteed national quantity referred to in paragraph 3 of that Article. In assessing the extent of the overrun in Spain, Greece, Portugal, France and Italy, account should be taken of the estimates for the production of table olives processed into olive oil, expressed as olive-oil equivalent using the relevant coefficients referred to in Commission Decisions 98/605/EC(5), 98/619/EC(6), 98/620/EC(7), 1999/715/EC(8) and 2000/227/EC(9).
(2) Article 17a of Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 provides that in order to determine the unit amount of the production aid for olive oil that can be paid in advance, the estimated production for the marketing year concerned should be determined. That amount must be fixed at a level that avoids any risk of unwarranted payment to olive growers. The amount also applies to table olives, expressed as olive oil equivalent.
(3) In order to establish the estimated production, Member States must forward to the Commission data for the olive oil and, where appropriate, table olive production estimates for each marketing year. The Commission may use other sources of information. On the basis of that data, the estimated production of olive oil and table olives, expressed as olive oil equivalent, should be fixed for each Member State at the levels indicated below.
(4) In determining the amount of the advance, account must be taken of the amount withheld for measures to improve the quality of olive oil provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No 1414/97(10).
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 60 and 301 thereof,
Having regard to Council Common Position 2004/137/CFSP of 10 February 2004 concerning restrictive measures against Liberia and repealing Common Position 2001/357/CFSP (1),
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) In its Resolution 1521 (2003) of 22 December 2003, the UN Security Council, acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations, and noting the changed circumstances in Liberia, in particular the departure of former President Charles Taylor and the formation of the National Transitional Government of Liberia, decided to modify certain of the restrictive measures imposed against Liberia by United Nations Security Council Resolutions 1343 (2001) of 7 March 2001 and 1478 (2003) of 6 May 2003.
(2) Common Position 2004/137/CFSP provides for the implementation of the measures set out in UN Security Council Resolution 1521 (2003), including a ban on technical assistance related to military activities and imports of rough diamonds from and of round logs and timber products originating in Liberia.
(3) Common Position 2004/137/CFSP also provides for a ban on services related to military activities, and on financial assistance related to military activities, which is not cited in UN Security Council Resolution 1521 (2003).
(4) Some of the measures provided for by Resolutions 1343 (2001) and 1478 (2003) were implemented by Council Regulation (EC) No 1030/2003 of 16 June 2003 concerning certain restrictive measures in respect of Liberia (2). The amendments to those measures fall within the scope of the Treaty and, therefore, in order to avoid any distortion of competition, Community legislation is necessary to implement the relevant decisions of the Security Council as far as the Community is concerned. For the purpose of this Regulation, the territory of the Community is deemed to encompass the territories of the Member States to which the Treaty is applicable, under the conditions laid down in that Treaty.
(5) For the sake of clarity, a single text containing all the relevant provisions as amended should be adopted, replacing Regulation (EC) No 1030/2003, which should be repealed.
(6) In order to ensure that the measures provided for in this Regulation are effective, this Regulation should enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union,
For the purposes of this Regulation, the following definition shall apply:
‘technical assistance’ means any technical support related to repairs, development, manufacture, assembly, testing, maintenance, or any other technical service, and may take forms such as instruction, advice, training, transmission of working knowledge or skills or consulting services.
