COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1219/2004
of 30 June 2004
fixing the production refund for olive oil used in the manufacture of certain preserved foods
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats (1), and in particular Article 20a thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 20a of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides for the granting of a production refund for olive oil used in the preserving industry. Pursuant to paragraph 6 of that Article, and without prejudice to paragraph 3 thereof, the Commission shall fix this refund every two months.
(2) By virtue of Article 20a(2) of the abovementioned Regulation, the production refund must be fixed on the basis of the gap between prices on the world market and on the Community market, taking account of the import charge applicable to olive oil falling within CN subheading 1509 90 00 and the factors used for fixing the export refunds for those olive oils during the reference period. It is appropriate to take as a reference period the two-month period preceding the beginning of the term of validity of the production refund.
(3) The application of the above criteria results in the refund being fixed as shown below,
For the months of July and August 2004, the amount of the production refund referred to in Article 20a(2) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC shall be EUR 44,00/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Articles 63(3) and 64(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 63(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999, to the extent necessary to enable the products listed in Article 1(2)(a) and (b) of that Regulation to be exported on the basis of the prices for those products on the world market and within the limits of the Agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty, the difference between those prices and the prices in the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Under Article 64(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999, the amounts and destinations for refunds are to be fixed periodically taking account of the existing situation and likely trends with regard to the prices and availability of the products concerned on the Community market and the world market prices for those products.
(3) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2805/95 (2) should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) The Management Committee for Wine has not delivered an opinion within the time-limit set by its Chairman,
The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2805/95 is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 14 September 2005.

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2261/88 of 19 July 1988 amending Regulation (EEC) No 2169/81 laying down the general rules for the system of aid for cotton
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular paragraph 9 of Protocol 4 on cotton, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 4006/87 (1),
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (2),
Whereas Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 2169/81 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2276/87 (4), provides that the aid to be paid is to be that applying on the day when the application for aid is made; whereas the amount of the aid must be calculated taking account of the guide price fixed for the marketing year during which the cotton to which the application relates is harvested;
Whereas Article 2 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1964/87 of 2 July 1987 adjusting the system of aid for cotton introduced by Protocol 4 annexed to the Act of Accession of Greece (5) provides that where the maximum guaranteed quantity is exceeded, the aid is to be reduced by the impact on the guide price of a coefficient to be established; whereas that coefficient is fixed pursuant to Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2169/81;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2276/87 amends inter alia Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2169/81; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2169/81 should therefore be adapted accordingly,
Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 2169/81 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:
´2. The amount of the aid to be paid shall be the amount applicable on the day when the application for aid is made. However, the amount of the aid applicable on the day when the application is made shall be adjusted on the basis of the difference between the guide price applying on that day and that applying on the day when the cotton is placed under control.' 2. In the first subparagraph of paragraph 3, ´Without prejudice to Article 8 (1)' is deleted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |
32001L0113 | Council Directive 2001/113/EC of 20 December 2001 relating to fruit jams, jellies and marmalades and sweetened chestnut purée intended for human consumption
| 12.1.2002 EN Official Journal of the European Communities L 10/67
COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 2001/113/EC
of 20 December 2001
relating to fruit jams, jellies and marmalades and sweetened chestnut purée intended for human consumption
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas:
(1) Certain vertical Directives relating to foodstuffs should be simplified in order to take account only of the essential requirements to be met by the products they cover so that those products may move freely within the internal market, in accordance with the conclusions of the European Council meeting in Edinburgh on 11 and 12 December 1992, as confirmed by those of the European Council meeting in Brussels on 10 and 11 December 1993.
(2) Council Directive 79/693/EEC of 24 July 1979 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to fruit jams, jellies and marmalades and chestnut purée (4) was justified by the fact that differences between national laws relating to the products concerned could result in conditions of unfair competition likely to mislead consumers, and thereby have a direct effect on the establishment and functioning of the common market.
(3) Directive 79/693/EEC was consequently designed to lay down definitions and common rules governing composition, manufacturing specifications and labelling of the products concerned, so as to ensure their free movement within the Community.
(4) Directive 79/693/EEC should be brought into line with general Community legislation on foodstuffs, and in particular legislation on labelling, colouring agents, sweeteners and other authorised additives and, for the sake of clarity, should be recast in order to make the rules on the conditions for the production and marketing of fruit jams, jellies and marmalades and sweetened chestnut purée intended for human consumption more accessible.
(5) The general food-labelling rules laid down in Directive 2000/13/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) should apply subject to certain conditions.
(6) In order to take account of existing national traditions in the making of fruit jams, jellies and marmalades and sweetened chestnut purée, it is necessary to maintain existing national regulations authorising the marketing of such products with a reduced sugar content.
(7) In accordance with the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality established by Article 5 of the Treaty, the objective of laying down common definitions and rules for the products concerned and bringing the provisions into line with general Community legislation on foodstuffs cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore, by reason of the nature of this Directive, be better achieved by the Community. This Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve the said objective.
(8) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Directive should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (6).
(9) To avoid creating new barriers to free movement, Member States should refrain from adopting, for the products in question, national provisions not provided for by this Directive,
This Directive shall apply to the products defined in Annex I.
It shall not apply to products intended for the manufacture of fine bakery wares, pastries or biscuits.
Directive 2000/13/EC shall apply to the products defined in Annex I hereto, subject to the following conditions:
1. The product names listed in Annex I shall apply only to the products referred to therein and shall be used in trade to designate them.
2. The product names shall be supplemented by an indication of the fruit or fruits used, in descending order of weight of the raw materials used. However, for products manufactured from three or more fruits, the indication of the fruits used may be replaced by the words ‘mixed fruit’ or a similar wording, or by the number of fruits used.
3. The labelling shall indicate the fruit content by including the words ‘prepared with … g of fruit per 100 g’ of the finished product, after deduction of the weight of water used in preparing the aqueous extracts, if appropriate.
4. The labelling shall indicate the total sugar content by the words ‘total sugar content … g per 100 g’, the figure indicated representing the value determined by refractometer at 20 °C for the finished product, subject to a tolerance of ± 3 refractometric degrees.
5. The particulars referred to in point 3 and the first subparagraph of point 4 shall appear in the same visual field as the product name and in clearly visible characters.
6. Where the residual content of sulphur dioxide is more than 10 mg/kg, its presence shall be indicated on the list of ingredients by way of derogation from Article 6(4) of Directive 2000/13/EC.
For the products defined in Annex I, Member States shall not adopt national provisions not provided for by this Directive.
Without prejudice to Directive 89/107/EEC (8) or to provisions adopted in order to give it effect, only the ingredients listed in Annex II hereto and raw materials which comply with Annex III hereto may be used in the manufacture of the products defined in Annex I hereto.
The measures necessary for the implementation of this Directive relating to the matters referred to below shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure referred to in Article 6(2):
— bringing this Directive into line with general Community legislation on foodstuffs,
— adaptations to technical progress.
1. The Commission shall be assisted by the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Committee’) set up by Article 1 of Decision 69/414/EEC (9).
2. Where reference is made to this paragraph, Articles 5 and 7 of Decision 1999/468/EC shall apply.
The period laid down in Article 5(6) of Decision 1999/468/EC shall be set at three months.
3. The Committee shall adopt its rules of procedure.
Directive 79/693/EEC is hereby repealed with effect from 12 July 2003.
References to the repealed Directive shall be construed as references to this Directive.
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive before 12 July 2003. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
The measures shall be applied so as to:
— authorise the marketing of the products defined in Annex I if they comply with the definitions and rules laid down in this Directive, with effect from 12 July 2003,
— prohibit the marketing of products which do not comply with this Directive, with effect from 12 July 2004.
However, the marketing of products which fail to conform to this Directive but which were labelled before 12 July 2004 in accordance with Directive 79/693/EEC shall be permitted until stocks run out.
When Member States adopt these measures, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference at the time of their official publication. The methods of making such reference shall be adopted by Member States.
This Directive shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1095/2001 lays down the number of young male bovine animals which may be imported on special terms during the period from 1 July 2001 to 30 June 2002. The quantities applied for exceed the quantities available under Article 2(1)(c) of that Regulation. Therefore, the quantities applied for should be reduced on a proportional basis in accordance with Article 4(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1095/2001,
All applications for import rights made in Member States other than Italy and Greece pursuant to Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1095/2001 are hereby met to the extent of 2,532 % of the quantity requested.

Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93 establishes the conditions for granting the production refund. The basis for the calculation is established in Article 3 of the said Regulation.

of 24 July 2008
amending Regulation (EC) No 1911/2006 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of solutions of urea and ammonium nitrate originating in Algeria, Belarus, Russia and Ukraine following an expiry review pursuant to Article 11(2) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (the basic Regulation), and in particular Articles 8 and 9 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) By Regulation (EC) No 1995/2000 (2), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of solutions of urea and ammonium nitrate (UAN) originating, inter alia, in Russia. Following an expiry review initiated in September 2005, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1911/2006 (3), renewed for five years these measures at their current level.
(2) On 19 December 2006, the Commission announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union
(4), the initiation of a partial interim review concerning imports into the Community of UAN originating, inter alia, in Russia upon the request of Open Joint Stock Company Novomoskovskiy Azot and Open Joint Stock Company Nevinnomyssky Azot, two exporting producers from Russia, belonging to the Open Joint Stock Company ‘Mineral and Chemical Company EuroChem’. These two companies, due to their relationship, are treated as one legal entity (the exporting producer) for the purpose of the present Regulation. The definitive findings and conclusions of the partial interim review are set out in Council Regulation (EC) No 238/2008 (5) by which the review was terminated without amending the anti-dumping measures in force.
B. UNDERTAKING
(3) During the interim review the exporting producer expressed an interest in offering a price undertaking but failed to submit a duly substantiated offer within the deadline as set out in Article 8(2) of the basic Regulation. However as stated in recitals (57) and (58) of the abovementioned Council Regulation, the Council considered that the exporting producer should exceptionally be allowed to complete its undertaking offer within 10 calendar days from entry into force of that Regulation due to the complexity of several issues, namely (1) the volatility of the price of the product concerned which would require some form of indexation of minimum prices, while at the same time the volatility is not sufficiently explained by the key cost driver; and (2) the particular market situation for the product concerned. Subsequent to the publication of Regulation (EC) No 238/2008 and within the deadline as set out in that Regulation the exporting producer submitted an acceptable price undertaking with Article 8(1) of the basic Regulation.
(4) The Commission by Decision 2008/649/EC (6) accepted the undertaking offer. The Council recognises that the undertaking offer eliminates the injurious effect of dumping and limits to a sufficient degree the risk of circumvention.
(5) To further enable the Commission and the customs authorities to effectively monitor the compliance of the exporting producer with the undertaking, when the request for release for free circulation is presented to the relevant customs authority, exemption from the anti-dumping duty is to be conditional on (i) the presentation of an undertaking invoice, which is a commercial invoice containing at least the elements listed and the declaration stipulated in the Annex; (ii) the fact that imported goods are manufactured, shipped and invoiced directly by the exporting producer to the first independent customer in the Community; and (iii) the fact that the goods declared and presented to customs correspond precisely to the description on the undertaking invoice. Where the above conditions are not met the appropriate anti-dumping duty shall be incurred at the time of acceptance of the declaration for release into free circulation.
(6) Whenever the Commission withdraws, pursuant to Article 8(9) of the basic Regulation, its acceptance of an undertaking following a breach by referring to particular transactions and declares the relevant undertaking invoices as invalid, a customs debt shall be incurred at the time of acceptance of the declaration for release into free circulation of these transactions.
(7) Importers should be aware that a customs debt may be incurred, as a normal trade risk, at the time of acceptance of the declaration for release into free circulation as described in recitals (5) and (6) even if an undertaking offered by the manufacturer from whom they were buying, directly or indirectly, had been accepted by the Commission.
(8) Pursuant to Article 14(7) of the basic Regulation, customs authorities should inform the Commission immediately whenever indications of a violation of the undertaking are found.
(9) For the reasons stated in the Commission Decision, the undertaking offered by the exporting producer is therefore considered acceptable by the Commission and the exporting producer concerned has been informed of the essential facts, considerations and obligations upon which acceptance is based.
(10) In the event of a breach or withdrawal of the undertaking or in case of withdrawal of acceptance of the undertaking by the Commission the anti-dumping duty which has been imposed by the Council in accordance with Article 9(4) shall automatically apply by means of Article 8(9) of the basic Regulation,
Regulation (EC) No 1911/2006 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Paragraph 4 in Article 1 shall be replaced by the following:
2. The following Article shall be added after Article 2:
— they are manufactured, shipped and invoiced directly by the said producer to the first independent customer in the Community, and
— such imports are accompanied by an undertaking invoice which is a commercial invoice containing at least the elements and the declaration stipulated in Annex of this Regulation, and
— the goods declared and presented to customs correspond precisely to the description on the undertaking invoice.
— whenever it is established, in respect of imports described in paragraph 1, that one or more of the conditions listed in that paragraph are not fulfilled, or
— when the Commission withdraws its acceptance of the undertaking pursuant to Article 8(9) of the basic Regulation in a Regulation or Decision which refers to particular transactions and declares the relevant undertaking invoices as invalid.
3. The Annex shall be replaced by the following:
1. The TARIC additional code under which the goods on the invoice may be customs cleared at Community borders (as specified in the appropriate Regulation or Decision).
2. The exact description of the goods, including:
— CN code,
— the nitrogen (N) content of the product (in percentages),
— quantity (to be given in tonnes).
3. The description of the terms of the sale, including:
— price per tonne,
— the applicable payment terms,
— the applicable delivery terms,
— total discounts and rebates.
4. The name of the unrelated importer to which the invoice is issued directly by the company.
5. The name of the official of the company that has issued the undertaking invoice and the following signed declaration:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Protocol 4 on cotton, annexed to the Act of Accession of Greece, 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 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to the historical relationship between the price recorded for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton. That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying the cotton aid scheme (3). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling 20,530 EUR/100 kg.

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2296/92 specifies raw materials which may be grown on set-aside land when destined for use in the manufacture of certain permissible end products whereas, for reasons of clarity, it is appropriate to indicate that only certain varieties of rapeseed shall be considered as being eligible raw materials;
Whereas it is necessary to prohibit the cultivation of lavender, lavandin and sage on set-aside land in order to avoid disturbance of the traditional market for these products;
Whereas, in order to ensure respect for legitimate expectations it is necessary to permit the cultivation of all types of rapeseed and lavender, lavandin and sage on set aside land between the date of applicability of Regulation (EEC) No 2296/92 and the entering into force of this Regulation;

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 of 26 June 1990 laying down a Community procedure for the establishment of maximum residue limits of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 750/2001(2), and in particular Articles 6, 7 and 8 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90, maximum residue limits must be established progressively for all pharmacologically active substances which are used within the Community in veterinary medicinal products intended for administration to food-producing animals.
(2) Maximum residue limits should be established only after the examination within the Committee for Veterinary Medicinal Products of all the relevant information concerning the safety of residues of the substance concerned for the consumer of foodstuffs of animal origin and the impact of residues on the industrial processing of foodstuffs.
(3) In establishing maximum residue limits for residues of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin, it is necessary to specify the animal species in which residues may be present, the levels which may be present in each of the relevant meat tissues obtained from the treated animal (target tissue) and the nature of the residue which is relevant for the monitoring of residues (marker residue).
(4) For the control of residues, as provided for in appropriate Community legislation, maximum residue limits should usually be established for the target tissues of liver or kidney. However, the liver and kidney are frequently removed from carcasses moving in international trade, and maximum residue limits should therefore also always be established for muscle or fat tissues.
(5) In the case of veterinary medicinal products intended for use in laying birds, lactating animals or honey bees, maximum residue limits must also be established for eggs, milk or honey.
(6) Cefoperazone, cyhalothrin, lincomycin, nafcillin, netobimin, phoxim, tiamulin and cyfluthrin should be inserted into Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90.
(7) "Linear alkyl benzene sulphonic acids with alkyl chain lengths ranging from C9 to C13, containing less than 2,5 % of chains longer than C13" should be inserted into Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90.
(8) In order to allow for the completion of scientific studies, the duration of the validity of the provisional maximum residue limits previously defined in Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 should be extended for cefacetrile, oxolinic acid and permethrin.
(9) An adequate period should be allowed before the entry into force of this Regulation in order to allow Member States to make any adjustment which may be necessary to the authorisations to place the veterinary medicinal products concerned on the market which have been granted in accordance with Council Directive 81/851/EEC(3), as last amended by Commission Directive 2000/37/EC(4), to take account of the provisions of this Regulation.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,
Annexes I, II and III to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 are hereby amended as set out in the Annex hereto.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 732/2008 of 22 July 2008 applying a scheme of generalised tariff preferences for the period from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2011 and amending Regulations (EC) No 552/97, (EC) No 1933/2006 and Commission Regulations (EC) No 1100/2006 and (EC) No 964/2007 (1), and in particular Article 11(8) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Republic of Cape Verde (hereinafter referred to as Cape Verde) is a beneficiary of the special arrangement for least-developed countries (also known as the Everything but Arms scheme, EBA) under the Union’s scheme of generalised tariff preferences.
(2) Article 11(8) of Regulation (EC) No 732/2008 provides for the withdrawal of a country from the special arrangement for least-developed countries, when that country is excluded by the United Nations from the list of the least developed countries. This Article also provides for the establishment of a transitional period of at least three years before the removal takes effect.
(3) Cape Verde was excluded by the United Nations from the list of least-developed countries, with effect from 1 January 2008 (2).
(4) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1547/2007 (3) provides for Cape Verde’s removal from the list of beneficiaries of the special arrangement for least developed countries with effect from 1 January 2011 after the expiry of a three-year transitional period.
(5) The transitional period granted under Regulation (EC) No 1547/2007, coming in a time of economic crisis, was marked by declining trade volumes that hampered Cape Verde’s economic diversification efforts. Hence, this transitional period has not allowed the time necessary for Cape Verde to overcome the over-reliance on one key export sector and thus alleviate potential adverse effects of the removal from the EBA scheme. That period should therefore be extended until 1 January 2012.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Generalised Preferences Committee,
Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1547/2007 is replaced by the following:
‘Article 1
The Republic of Cape Verde shall be removed from the list of beneficiaries of the special arrangement for the least-developed countries in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 732/2008, with effect from 1 January 2012.’

TITLE I
REGIONAL CUMULATION AND ALLOCATION OF ORIGIN
Purpose and scope
1. Three separate but identical systems of regional cumulation are hereby set up by way of derogation from certain of the provisions of the basic Regulation.
2. Regional cumulation shall apply to three separate regional groups of countries:
(a) the ASEAN;
(b) the CACM;
(c) the Andean Group.
3. The expression 'regional group' shall be taken to mean the ASEAN or, the CACM or the Andean Group as appropriate.
Regional cumulation
1. For the purposes of determining whether a producta manufactured in a country of a regional group originates therein within the meaning of Article 1 of the basic Regulation, products originating in any of the other countries of that regional group and used in further manufacture shall be treated as if they originated in the country of further manufacture.
The country of origin of the final product shall be determined in accordance with Article 3 of this Regulation.
2. Article 6 (1) (b) of the basic Regulation shall not apply to products originating in any of the countries of the regional group when they pass through the territory of any of the other countries of the regional group whether or not further working or processing takes place there.
Allocation of origin
1. Products having originating status by virtue of Article 2 of this Regulation shall have the origin of the country of the regional group where the last working or processing was carried out provided that:
- the value added there, as defined in paragraph 3 of this Article, is greater than the highest customs value of the products used originating in any one of the other countries of the regional group,
- the working or processing carried out there exceeds that set out in Article 3 (3) of the basic Regulation and in the case of textile products, also those operations referred to in Annex II.
2. In all other cases products shall have the origin of the country of the regional group which accounts for the highest customs value of the originating products used coming from the other countries of the regional group.
3. 'Value added' shall be taken to be the ex-works price minus the customs value of each of the products incorporated which originated in another country of the regional group.
TITLE II
ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS
Proof of originating status
1. Proof of the originating status of products exported from a country of a regional group to another country of the same group to be used in further working or processing, or to be re-exported where no further working or processing takes place, shall be established by a certificate of origin Form A issued or a Form APR made out in the first country.
2. Proof of originating status, acquired or retained under the terms of this Regulation, of products exported from a country of a regional group to the Community shall be established by a certificate of origin Form A issued or a Form APR made out in that country on the basis of a certificate of origin Form A issued or a Form APR made out in accordance with paragraph 1.
3. The country of origin shall be marked in box 12 of the certificate of origin Form A or box 8 of Form APR, that country being:
- in the case of products exported without further working or processing, the country of manufacture,
- in the case of products exported after further working or processing, the country of origin as determined in accordance with Article 3.
Verification procedures
Articles 13 and 27 of the basic Regulation shall apply as between the countries of the same regional group for the purposes of subsequent verification of certificates of origin Form A issued or Form APR made out in accordance with Article 4 (1) of this Regulation. Article 6
Conditions for the application of regional cumulation
1. This Regulation shall apply only where:
(a) the rules regulating trade in the context of regional cumulation, as between the countries of the regional group, are identical to those laid down in the basic Regulation subject to the adaptations laid down in this Regulation;
(b) each country of the regional group has undertaken to comply or ensure compliance with the terms of this Regulation and to provide the administrative cooperation necessary both to the Community and to the other countries of the regional group in order to ensure the correct issue of certificates of origin Form A and the verification of certificates of origin Form A and Form APR.
This undertaking shall be transmitted to the Commission through the Secretariat of the regional group.
The Secretariats are as follows:
- the ASEAN General Secretariat,
- the Permanent Secretariat of the Central American Common Market,
- the Junta del Acuerdo de Cartagena;
as appropriate.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Commission has undertaken, within the framework of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), to open an annual Community tariff quota at a rate of duty of 4 % without a levy for a total of 1 500 tonnes of frozen thin skirt of bovine animals falling within CN code 0206 29 91;
Whereas it is planned, pursuant to the agreements reached during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations, due to apply from 1 July 1995, to maintain that quota under the 'current access' arrangements; whereas, therefore, at this stage the quota should only be opened for the first half of 1995 and for the quantity corresponding to that period of the year, that is 50 % of the 1 500 tonnes available for 1995; whereas a quota for the remaining quantity will be opened after the entry into force of and in accordance with the provisions on the application of the abovementioned agreements;
Whereas there should be a guarantee in particular of equal and continuing access by all interested traders within the Community to the said quota and of uninterrupted application of the rate laid down for that quota to all imports of the products in question until the quota is exhausted;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 27 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), the Commission must adopt detailed rules for the application of this Regulation,
1. A Community tariff quota for frozen thin skirt of bovine animals falling within CN code 0206 29 91 amounting to a total of 750 tonnes, is hereby opened for the first half of 1995.
2. The common customs tariff duty applicable to the quota mentioned in paragraph 1 shall be 4 % and the levy shall be nil.
The Commission shall adopt detailed rules for the applications of this Regulation in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 27 of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68, and in particular:
(a) provisions to guarantee the nature of the products, their provenance and origin;
(b) provisions concerning recognition of the document enabling the guarantee referred to in (a) to be verified; and
(c) conditions governing the issue and term of validity of import licences.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 January 1995.

| COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 93/74/EEC of 13 September 1993 on feedingstuffs intended for particular nutritional purposes
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas feedingstuffs intended for particular nutritional purposes are playing an increasing role in the diet of pet animals; whereas such products are also used in the rearing of productive livestock;
Whereas, in some Member States, feedingstuffs covered by this Directive are already marketed in such a way as to draw the attention of users to their particular composition;
Whereas a common definition should be laid down for the products concerned; whereas that definition must provide that products presented as intended to meet certain specific nutritional needs must have a specific composition and/or be manufactured using special methods; whereas it is essential to establish the principle that such feedingstuffs must be clearly distinguished, in their characteristics and purpose, from both ordinary feedingstufffs and medicated feedingstuffs;
Whereas the composition and preparation of feedingsuffs intended for particular nutritional purposes must be specially designed to meet the particular nutritional needs of categories of pets or productive livestock whose process of assimilation, absorption or metabolism could briefly be impaired or is temporarily or irreversibly impaired;
Whereas, when rules are being laid down for the marketing of feedingstuffs intended for particular nutritional purposes, care should be taken to ensure that such feedingstuffs have a beneficial effect on the animals which ingest them; whereas feedingstuffs must therefore always be of merchantable quality; whereas they must neither present a hazard for animal or human health or for the environment nor be marketed in a manner liable to mislead;
Whereas this Directive applies without prejudice to other Community provisions on feedingstuffs, and particularly the rules applicable to compound feedingstuffs;
Whereas the user of feedingstuffs intended for particular nutritional purposes needs to be provided with accurate and meaningful information;
Whereas in order to distinguish between the feedingstuffs meeting the criteria laid down in this Directive and other feedingstuffs, a single qualifying expression, 'dietetic', must accompany the description of the feedingstuff;
Whereas, as in the case of ordinary feedingstuffs, at least the levels of analytical constituents having a direct effect on the quality of the feedingstuff should be declared; whereas provision should be made for the declaration of certain additional analytical constituents which give the feedingstuff its dietetic properties;
Whereas all producers of feedingstuffs intended for particular nutritional purposes must have the option of indicating on the label certain particulars useful to the user;
Whereas it is not necessary for the supply of feedingstuffs intended for particular nutritional purposes to be subject to presentation of a veterinary prescription since these products contain no medicinal substances within the meaning of Council Directive 65/65/EEC of 26 January 1965 on the approximation of provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action relating to proprietary medicinal products (4), but, to ensure the appropriate use of feedingstuffs with a very specific character, the user should be warned that it is desirable to seek a specialist's opinion before using them;
Whereas, however, for feedingstuffs designed to satisfy the nutritional requirements of animals with irreversibly impaired processes of assimilation, absorption or metabolism or which are in a pathological state requiring medical supervision, the possibility should be provided of laying down additional labelling rules which provide that a recommendation shall be given to the user to request the prior opinion of a veterinarian instead of the general recommendation to consult a specialist;
Whereas a positive list should also be drawn up at Community level of the intended uses of animal feedingstuffs for particular nutritional purposes, indicating their precise use, essential nutritional characteristics, compulsory or optional declarations and special labelling requirements; whereas, bearing in mind the importance of this list for the implementation of this Directive, such list should be adopted in good time;
Whereas the marketing of feedingstuffs intended for particular nutritional purposes which satisfy the requirements of this Directive must not be subject to any restriction on grounds of content, methods of manufacture, presentation or labelling;
Whereas, in cases where a product presents a hazard to animal or human health or the environment, provision should be made for any Member State to request that the Commission take the appropriate measures, on justified grounds;
Whereas, for cases where the Council empowers the Commission to apply the rules laid down in respect of feedingstuffs intended for particular nutritional purposes, a procedure should be provided for close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission in the Standing Committee on Feedingstuffs set up by Council Decision 70/372/EEC (5);
Whereas effective inspection of feedingstuffs intended for particular nutritional purposes must be ensured; whereas in certain circumstances the usual means at the disposal of the inspection services amy be insufficient to allow verification that a feedingstuff actually possesses the particular nutritional properties attributed to it; whereas it should therefore be provided that, where necessary, the person responsible for marketing the product should assist the inspection service in its duties,
1. This Directive concerns feedingstuffs intended for particular nutritional purposes.
2. Member Statets shall prescribe that feedingstuffs intended for particular nutritional purposes may be marketed only if they:
- fulfil the conditions referred to in Article 3,
- are labelled in accordance with the provisions laid down in Article 5,
- their intended uses are included in the list drawn up pursuant to Article 6 and they fulfil the other provisions laid down in that list.
For the purposes of this Directive, the following definitions shall apply:
(a) 'feedingstuffs' shall mean products of vegetable or animal origin in their natural state, fresh or preserved, and products derived from the industrial processing thereof, and organic or inorganic substances, used singly or in mixtures, whether or not containing additives, for oral animal feeding;
(b) 'compound feedingstuffs' shall mean mixtures of products of vegetable or animal origin in their natural state, fresh or preserved, and products derived from the industrial processing thereof, or of organic or inorganic substances, whether or not containing additives, for oral animal feeding in the form of complete feedingstuffs or complementary feedingstuffs;
(c) 'feedingstuffs intended for particular nutritional purposes' shall mean compound feedingstuffs which, by virtue of their particular composition or method of manufacture, can be clearly distinguished from both ordinary feedingstuffs and the products defined in Council Directive 90/167/EEC of 26 March 1990 laying down the conditions governing the preparation, placing on the market and use of medicated feedingstuffs in the Community (6), and are presented as intended to meet specific nutritional requirements;
(d) 'particular nutritional purpose' shall mean the purpose of satisfying the specific nutritional needs of certain pets or productive livestock whose process of assimilation, absorption or metabolism could be temporarily impaired or is temporarily or irreversibly impaired and are therefore able to derive benefit from ingestion of feedingstuffs appropriate to their condition.
The Member States shall require that the nature of composition of the feedingstuffs referred to in Article 1 (1) shall be such that the products are appropriate for their intended particular nutritional purpose.
This Directive shall apply, subject to the specific provisions laid down therein, without prejudice to the Community provisions on:
(a) compound feedingstuffs;
(b) additives used in feedingstuffs;
(c) undesirable substances and products in animal nutrition;
(d) certain products used in animal nutrition.
In addition to the labelling provisions in Article 5 of Directive 79/373/EEC of 2 April 1979 on the marketing of compound feedingstuffs (7) the Member States shall require that:
1. the following additional indications appear in the space provided for the purpose on the packaging, on the container or on the label of the feedingstuffs referred to in Article 1 (1):
(a) the qualifying expression 'dietetic' together with the description of the feedingstuff;
(b) the precise use, i.e. the particular nutritional purpose;
(c) the indication of the essential nutritional characteristics of the feedingstuffs;
(d) the declarations prescribed in column 4 in the Annex concerning the particular nutritional purpose;
(e) the recommended length of time for use of the feedingstuff.
The indications referred to in points (a) to (e) must comply with the content of the list of intended uses in the Annex and the general provisions to be laid down in accordance with Article 6 (b);
2. indications other than those referred to in paragraph 1 may be supplied in the space provided for the purpose, in so far as they are covered by Article 6 (a);
3. without prejudice to Article 5e of Directive 79/373/EEC, the labelling of feedingstuffs as referred to in Article 1 (1) may make reference to a specific pathological condition in so far as that condition corresponds to the nutritional purpose laid down in the list of uses drawn up in accordance with Article 6 (a);
4. the label or the directions for use of the feedingstuffs referred to in Article 1 (1) must bear the indication 'It is recommended that a specialist's opinion be sought before use.'
It may, however, be provided in the list of intended uses in the Annex that this declaration shall be replaced for specific dietetic feedingstuffs with a recommendation to request the prior opinion of a veterinarian;
5. the provisions of Article 5c (5) of Directive 79/373/EEC shall also apply to the feedingstuffs referred to in Article 1 (1) and intended for animals other than pets;
6. the labelling of the feedingstuffs referred to in Article 1 (1) may also highlight the presence or the low level of one or more analytical constituents which are essential for the description of the feedingstuff. In such cases, the minimum or maximum level of the analytical constituents expressed as percentage weight of the feedingstuff must be clearly indicated in the list of declared analytical constituents;
7. the qualifying expression 'dietitic' shall be reserved solely for feedingstuffs as referred to in Article 1 (1).

Whereas:

(8) The IPARD Programme was last amended on 26 November 2010 by Commission Decision C(2010) 8462.
(9) Pursuant to Article 21 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 718/2007 the beneficiary country has to designate bodies and authorities responsible for implementation of the IPARD Programme: the Competent Accrediting Officer, the National Authorising Officer, the National Fund, the Managing Authority, the IPARD Agency and the Audit Authority.

(15) On 28 May 2010, the National Authorising Officer notified the European Commission of accreditation of the operating structure in charge of the management and implementation of IPA Component V — Rural Development for submeasure 202/1 ‘Acquisition of skills’, measures 302 ‘Diversification and development of rural economic activities’ and 501 ‘Technical assistance’, in accordance with Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 718/2007.
(16) On 21 December 2010, the National Authorising Officer notified the European Commission of withdrawing accreditation of the Operating Structure in charge of the management and implementation of IPA Component V — Rural Development for submeasure 201/1.
(17) On 16 March 2009, the Croatian Authorities submitted to the Commission the list of eligible expenditure for measures 101, 103 and 301 in conformity with Article 32(3) of the Sectoral Agreement. The Commission approved this list on 8 April 2009.
(18) On 29 October 2010, the Croatian Authorities submitted to the Commission the last modified list of eligible expenditure for measure 302 in conformity with Article 32(3) of the Sectoral Agreement. The Commission approved this list on 10 November 2010.
(19) On 24 November 2009, the Croatian Authorities submitted to the Commission the list of eligible expenditure for measure 501 in conformity with Article 32(3) of the Sectoral Agreement. The Commission approved this list on 29 March 2010.
(20) The Paying Agency for Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural Development acting as the IPARD Agency, and the Directorate for Rural Development, Sapard/IPARD Programme Managing Authority, acting as the Managing Authority, will be responsible for implementing the three measures accredited by National Authorising Officer: 301 ‘Improvement and development of rural infrastructure’, 302 ‘Diversification and development of rural economic activities’ and 501 ‘Technical assistance’ as defined in the Programme; in addition to the two measures conferred in 2009, out of seven from the IPARD Programme.
(21) In order to take into account the requirements of Article 19(1) of the Framework Agreement the expenditure pursuant to this Decision shall be eligible for Community co-finance only if not paid earlier than the date of conferral decision, with the exception of measure 501 ‘Technical assistance’ referred to Article 19(2) of the Framework Agreement and the general costs referred to in Article 172(3c) of Regulation (EC) No 718/2007. Expenditure shall be eligible if it is in accordance with the principles of sound financial management and, in particular, of economy and cost-effectiveness.
(22) Regulation (EC) No 718/2007 provides that the ex ante approval requirement may be waived according to its Article 18(2) on the basis of a case-by-case analysis of effective functioning of the management and control system concerned and provides for detailed rules for the carrying out of the said analysis.
(23) Pursuant to Articles 14 and 18 of Regulation (EC) No 718/2007, the accreditations referred to in Articles 11, 12 and 13 of Regulation (EC) No 718/2007 have been reviewed; and the procedures and structures of the bodies and authorities concerned, as set out in the application submitted by the National Authorising Officer, have been examined, including by on-the-spot verifications.
(24) The verifications carried out by the Commission for measure 301 ‘Improvement and development of rural infrastructure’ and measure 302 ‘Diversification and development of rural economic activities’ are based on a system that is operational, but not yet operating, with regard to all relevant elements.
(25) Although the Audit Authority is not itself part of this Decision, its level of readiness to operate as a functionally independent audit body by the time of submission to the Commission of the accreditation package for the conferral of management has been evaluated by on-the-spot verifications.
(26) Croatia's compliance with the requirements of Article 56(2) of the Financial Regulation and Articles 11, 12 and 13 of Regulation (EC) No 718/2007 has been assessed by on-the-spot verifications.
(27) The assessment has shown that Croatia complies with the requirements for measures 301 and 302. However, the Paying Agency for Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural Development, acting as the IPARD Agency, has not yet implemented properly the accreditation criteria for the functions it is due to perform in the framework of the implementation of measure 501.
(28) It is therefore appropriate to waive according to Article 18(2) of Regulation (EC) No 718/2007 the ex ante approval requirements referred to in Article 165 of the Financial Regulation and to confer on the National Authorising Officer, on the National Fund, on the IPARD Agency and on the Managing Authority, the management powers relating to the measures 301 and 302 of the Programme for Croatia on a decentralised basis,
1. The management of assistance provided for under IPA — Component V as regards Agriculture and Rural Development is conferred on the concerned bodies under the conditions laid down in this Decision.
2.

This Decision shall apply on the basis of the following structures, bodies and authorities designated by the Republic of Croatia for the management of measures 301 and 302 of the Programme provided for under IPA — Component V:
(a) the National Authorising Officer;
(b) the National Fund;
(c) the Operating Structure for IPA — Component V:
— the Managing Authority,
— the IPARD Agency.
1. The management powers are conferred on the structures, bodies and authorities as specified in Article 2 of this Decision.
2. The national authorities shall carry out further verifications with regard to the structures, bodies and authorities set out in Article 2 of this Decision, in order to ensure that the management and control system operates satisfactorily. Verifications shall be carried out before the submission of the first declaration of expenditure requesting the reimbursement related to measures stated in Article 1(2) above.
1. Expenditure paid earlier than the date of this Decision shall in no case be eligible with the exception of general costs referred to in Article 172(3c) of Regulation (EC) No 718/2007.
2. Expenditure shall be eligible if it is in accordance with the principles of sound financial management and, in particular, of economy and cost-effectiveness.
1. Without prejudice to any decisions granting aid under the IPARD Programme to individual beneficiaries, the rules for eligibility of expenditure for measure 301 proposed by Croatia by letter No ‘Class: NP 018-04/09-01/106, Ref. number: 525-12-3-0472/09-2’ of 16 March 2009 and registered in the Commission on 26 March 2009 under No 8151 shall apply.
2. Without prejudice to any decisions granting aid under the IPARD Programme to individual beneficiaries, the rules for eligibility of expenditure for measure 302 proposed by Croatia by letter No ‘Class: NP 011-02/09-01/72, Ref. number: 525-12-3-0473/10-30’ of 19 October 2010 and registered in the Commission on 29 October 2010 under No 761752 shall apply.
1. The Commission shall monitor compliance with the requirements for the conferral of management powers as laid down in Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 718/2007.
2. At any time during the implementation of this Decision, should the Commission consider that the obligations of the Republic of Croatia under this Decision are no longer met, the Commission may decide to withdraw or suspend the conferral of management powers on the basis of Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 718/2007.
3. The Republic of Croatia as laid down in article 19 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 718/2007 shall ensure:
— investigation and effective treatment of suspected cases of fraud and irregularities and shall ensure the functioning of a control and reporting mechanism equivalent to that referred to in the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1828/2006,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, in Decision 95/514/EC (5) it has been determined for a limited period that field inspections carried out in certain third countries on seed-producing crops of certain species satisfies the conditions laid down in Directives 66/400/EEC, 66/401/EEC, 66/402/EEC and 69/208/EEC; whereas in Decision 95/514/EC it has also been determined that seed of certain species produced in certain third countries was equivalent to corresponding seed produced in the Community;
Whereas Decision 95/514/EC expired on 31 December 1997; whereas a new decision is therefore necessary;
Whereas in Decision 95/514/EC, reference to the OECD schemes for the varietal certification of seed moving in international trade was made as one of the bases for Community equivalence;
Whereas in 1995 a system of alternative seed certification was included in these schemes as an experiment;
Whereas, the results of this experiment have not yet been evaluated;
Whereas, in these circumstances, it appears desirable to ensure continuation of the equivalence, but to limit it, under this Decision, to a further two years,
In Article 6 of Decision 95/514/EC '31 December 1997` shall be replaced by '31 December 1999`.

Whereas:
(1) The content of Decision ECB/2012/34 of 19 December 2012 on temporary changes to the rules relating to the eligibility of foreign currency denominated collateral (2) should be included in Guideline ECB/2012/18 of 2 August 2012 on additional temporary measures relating to Eurosystem refinancing operations and eligibility of collateral and amending Guideline ECB/2007/9 (3), the core legal act governing temporary measures relating to Eurosystem refinancing operations and eligibility of collateral.

Whereas, in view of their climatic conditions, the growing period for barley varieties predominantly produced in Finland and Sweden is much shorter; whereas the kernel size of six-row barley varieties is under 2,2 mm in those two countries; whereas the barley therefore does not meet the intervention requirements regarding kernel size; whereas the immediate application of the Community rules is accordingly likely to exclude considerable quantities of Finnish and Swedish barley from buying in, thereby provoking severe difficulties for producers in the two countries; whereas Finland and Sweden should accordingly be authorised temporarily to buy in barley of a kernel size of under 2,2 mm; whereas the acceptance of a lower kernel size should not lead to barley of inferior quality being bought in; whereas the barley in question should accordingly have a specific weight of at least 64 kg/hl;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 689/92 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2507/97 (6), lays down the conditions for the taking over of cereals for intervention and must accordingly be amended;

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100 thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Whereas pursuant to Articles 2 and 12 (2) of the Council Directive of 23 October 1962 1 on the approximation of the rules of the Member States concerning the colouring matters authorised for use in foodstuffs intended for human consumption, as last amended by the Council Directive of 24 October 1967 2, Member States must, not later than 31 December 1967, prohibit the use of certain colouring matters and in particular sulphonated orcein ; whereas this prohibition must take effect before the end of 1968;
Whereas it has not as yet been possible to terminate scientific research on sulphonated orcein and an additional period is required in order to complete this research;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to authorise the Member States concerned to suspend application of the prohibition on the use of that colouring matter so that, in the interim, all the information needed for its definitive assessment may be obtained;
The following sentence shall be added to Article 12 (2) of the Council Directive of 23 October 1962, as amended by Article 1 (4) of the Council Directive of 25 October 1965 3:
"However, in the case of sulphonated orcein, application of the amended rules may be deferred until 1 January 1972."

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89 of 29 May 1989 on the definitive uniform arrangements for the collection of own resources accruing from value added tax (1), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 2892/77 of 19 December 1977 implementing in respect of own resources accruing from value added tax the Decision of 21 April 1970 on the replacement of financial contributions from Member States by the Communities' own resources (2) ceased to be applicable on 31 December 1988; whereas the authorizations given under Article 13 thereof must be renewed from 1 January 1989 pursuant to Article 13 of Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89;
Whereas, under Article 28 (3) of the Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes - Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment (3), hereinafter called 'the Sixth Directive', as last amended by Directive 84/386/EEC (4), the Member States may continue to exempt or tax certain transactions; whereas these transactions must be taken into account for the determination of the VAT resources base;
Whereas Belgium is unable to make a precise calculation of the VAT own resources base for two categories of transactions listed in Annexes E and F to the Sixth Directive; whereas such calculation is likely to involve an unjustified administrative burden in relation to the effect of these transactions on Belgium's total VAT resources base; whereas Belgium should therefore be authorized not to take these transactions into account for the calculation of the VAT base;
Whereas Belgium is able to make a calculation using approximate estimates for six categories of transactions listed in Annexes E and F to the Sixth Directive; whereas it should therefore be authorized to calculate the VAT base using approximate estimates;
Whereas the Advisory Committee on Own Resources has approved the report recording the opinions of its members on this Decision,
For the purpose of calculating the VAT own resources base from 1 January 1989, Belgium is authorized, in accordance with the first indent of Article 6 (3) of Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89, not to take into account the following categories of transactions referred to in Annexes E and F to the Sixth Directive:
1. Transactions referred to in Article 13 (A) (1) (f) of the Sixth Directive other than those of groups of a medical or paramedical nature (Annex E, ex point 3);
2. Services supplied by authors, artists, performers, in so far as these are not services specified in Annex B to the Second Council Directive 67/228/EEC (5);
- services rendered to conference organizers by lecturers,
- services rendered to show and concert organizers, to publishers of records and other sound recording media and to makers of films and other image-recording media by actors conductors, musicians and other artists in the context of theatrical, choreographical, cinematographical or musical productions or circus, music-hall or artistic cabaret performances, and
- services rendered to organizers of sporting competitions or events by persons taking part in these competitions or events (Annex F, ex point 2).
For the purpose of calculating the VAT own resources base from 1 January 1989, Belgium is authorized to use approximate estimates in respect of the following categories of transactions referred to in Annexes E and F to the Sixth Directive:
1. The services of travel agents referred to in Article 26 of the Sixth Directive, and those of travel agents acting in the name and on account of the traveller, for journeys outside the Community (Annex E, point 15);
2. Services supplied by lawyers, notaries and bailiffs (for all activities), in so far as these are not services specified in Annex B to the Second Directive 67/228/EEC (Annex F, ex point 2);

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 of 13 February 1993 on the common organization of the market in bananas (1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 3518/93 (2), and in particular Article 12 (6) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93 of 9 July 1993 (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 526/94 (4), lays down detailed rules for applying Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 as regards the aid scheme to compensate for loss of income;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93, compensatory aid is to be calculated on the basis of the difference between the flat-rate reference income for bananas produced and marketed within the Community and the average production income obtained on the Community market during the year in question; whereas additional aid is granted in favour of a production region if the average production there is significantly lower than the Community average; whereas the compensatory aid and additional aid for 1993 must be calculated for the second six months of that year;
Whereas prices for bananas produced and marketed in the Community during the second half of 1993 were such that the average of the prices at the delivered at first port of unloading in the rest of the Community stage, less the average costs of transport and delivery fob, is less than the reference income fixed in Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93; whereas the compensatory aid for those six months should be fixed accordingly;
Whereas the average production income obtained from marketing bananas produced in Madeira was, given the very unfavourable production conditions, significantly lower than the Community average during the second half of 1993; whereas, therefore, additional aid should be granted in favour of that banana industry;
Whereas, moreover, advances and securities on quantities of bananas marketed during a given year depend on the amount of aid paid in respect of the preceding year pursuant to Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93;
Whereas, given the current trend in the price of bananas produced in the Community, the amount of the advance to be paid during 1994 should be the same as that paid during the second half of 1993;
Whereas this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication in order to be fully effective;
Whereas the Management Committee for Bananas has not delivered an opinion within the time limit laid down by its chairman,
1. The compensatory aid referred to in Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 for bananas covered by CN code ex 0803, excluding plantains, marketed fresh during the second half of 1993 shall be ECU 24,5 per 100 kg.
2. The amount of the aid referred to in paragraph 1 shall be increased by ECU 2,8 per 100 kg for bananas produced in the region of Madeira.
3. Notwithstanding Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93, the advance and security relating to Community bananas marketed during 1994 shall be ECU 13,4 per 100 kg and ECU 6,7 per 100 kg respectively.

Whereas Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 1784/77 authorizes the marketing without certificates until 31 March 1979 of hop powders and hop extracts manufactured before 1 August 1978 ; whereas it provides for the possibility of deferring that final date ; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 672/79 of 4 April 1979 (5) first deferred that date to 31 December 1979 ; whereas, in view of the persistence of surpluses on the market, the existence of stocks in certain Member States makes it necessary to make use once again of the possibility of deferring that date;

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 820/97 of 21 April 1997 establishing a system for the identification and registration of bovine animals and regarding the labelling of beef and beef products (1), and in particular Article 10 (d) thereof,
Whereas it is appropriate to define the minimum level of controls to be carried out in order to ensure proper implementation of the identification and registration system for bovine animals;
Whereas the competent authority of each Member State should carry out controls based on a risk analysis; whereas the risk analysis should take into account all relevant factors, including in particular public and animal health considerations;
Whereas in principle all the animals on a holding should be covered by the controls; whereas, however, where for practical reasons it is not possible to assemble the animals on the holding within 48 hours, the competent authority may provide for an appropriate sampling system;
Whereas the competent authority of each Member State should carry out on-the-spot inspections, which should in general be unannounced, as provided for by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3508/92 of 27 November 1992 establishing an integrated administration and control system for certain Community aid schemes (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 820/97;
Whereas Member States should make an annual report to the Commission giving details of the implementation of the controls;
Whereas the Commission should provide the Member States with a model of such a report;

The controls provided for in the system for the identification and registration of bovine animals shall at least comply with the minimum levels set out in Articles 2 to 5.
1. In each Member State the competent authority shall carry out on-the-spot inspections, which may be carried out in conjunction with any other inspections provided for by Community legislation. Those inspections shall each year cover at least 10 % of holdings situated in the territory of each Member State. That minimum rate of control shall be increased immediately where it is established that Community legislation regarding identification has not been complied with.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, where a Member State has in place a fully operational database in accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 820/97 which provides effective cross-checking facilities, a rate of 5 % may be envisaged.
3. The selection of holdings to be inspected by the competent authority shall be made on the basis of risk analysis.
4. The risk analysis for each holding shall take into account in particular the following:
(a) the number of animals on the holding, including details of all the animals present and animals identified on the holding;
(b) public and animal health considerations, and in particular the existence of previous outbreaks of disease;
(c) the amount of annual bovine premium claimed and/or paid to the holding, compared with the amount paid the previous year;
(d) significant changes in comparison with situations in previous years;
(e) results of checks conducted in earlier years, in particular:
- the proper keeping of the holding register, as provided for by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2629/97 on implementing rules for Regulation (EC) No 820/97 as regards eartags, holding registers and passports (3),
- the proper keeping of passports of the animals present in the holding, as provided for by Regulation (EC) No 2630/97;
(f) proper communication of the data to the competent authority;
(g) other criteria to be defined by the Member States.
5. Each inspection shall be subject of a report standardized at national level setting out the results of the controls and any unsatisfactory findings, the reason for the control and the persons present. The keeper or his representative shall be given the opportunity to sign the report and, as appropriate, to give his observations on its content.
1. The control shall cover all the animals on the holding for which identification is provided for by Regulation (EC) No 820/97.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, if for practical reasons it is not possible to assemble the animals on the holding within a period of 48 hours, the competent authority may provide for a sampling system provided that a reliable level of control is ensured.
On-the-spot checks shall in general be unannounced. Where advance warning is given, it shall be limited to the strict minimum necessary and as a general rules shall not exceed 48 hours.
1. Each Member State shall make an annual report to the Commission, before 1 July each year, commencing in 1999, giving details of the following:
(a) the number of holdings in the Member State concerned;
(b) the number of inspections made pursuant to Article 2;

of 2 October 2001
on the opening of a standing invitation to tender for the resale on the Community internal market of some 7850 tonnes of rice held by the Spanish intervention agency for use in animal feed
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1667/2000(2), and in particular Article 8(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 75/91 of 11 January 1991 laying down the procedures and conditions for the disposal of paddy rice held by intervention agencies(3) provides among other things that rice held by intervention agencies is to be sold by tendering procedure at prices that allow market disturbances to be avoided.
(2) Spain has intervention stocks of paddy rice from harvests prior to 1998 whose quality is in danger of deteriorating as a result of prolonged storage.
(3) Disposing of this rice on traditional markets inside the Community would inevitably trigger off, in the present production situation and when concessions for rice imports are being granted under international agreements, the placing of an equivalent quantity in intervention, which must be avoided.
(4) This rice could be disposed of in the animal feed sector, on special conditions.
(5) The undertakings given by tenderers are regarded as primary requirements 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(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1932/1999(5).
(6) In order to ensure that the rice is used for the purpose specified, provision should be made for special monitoring and for the successful tenderer to provide a security, the conditions for the release of which should be laid down.
(7) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3002/92(6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 770/96(7), lays down common detailed rules for verifying the use of products from intervention. Procedures should also be laid down to ensure the traceability of the products used for animal feed.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The Spanish intervention agency shall offer for sale by standing invitation to tender on the Community internal market some 7850 tonnes of rice as referred to in Annex I from the 1997 harvest, for use in preparations of a kind used in animal feeding (products falling within CN code 2309 ).
1. The sale provided for in Article 1 shall take place in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 75/91.
However, notwithstanding Article 5 of that Regulation:
(a) tenders shall be drawn up on the basis of the actual quality of the lot to which they apply;
(b) the minimum sale price shall be set at a level that does not disturb the market for cereals within the Community.
2. Tenderers shall give an undertaking:
(a) to use in animal feed, within three months of the date of the award of the contract, rice for which they are declared the successful tenderer, save in cases of force majeure;
(b) to carry out immediately, under the supervision of the competent authorities at a place determined by agreement with them, the treatments described in Annex II, designed to ensure verification of the use made of the rice and the traceability of the products;
(c) to bear the costs of the processing referred to in Annex II;
(d) to keep stock records so that checks may be made that they have respected their undertakings.
1. The Spanish intervention agency shall publish, at least eight days before the final day of the first period for the submission of tenders, a notice of invitation to tender.

(b) the places of storage and the name and address of the storer;
(c) particulars of the competent authorities responsible for monitoring the operation;
(d) the main physical and technological characteristics of the various lots established upon buying in by the intervention agency or during checks carried out subsequently.
3. The Spanish intervention agency shall take all additional steps necessary to enable the parties concerned to assess the quality of the rice put up for sale before submitting their tenders.
1. Tenders shall be valid only if they are accompanied by:
(a) evidence that the tenderer has lodged a security of EUR 15 per tonne;
(b) a written undertaking by the tenderer that the rice for which he is the successful tenderer will be processed into compound feed at his premises within three months of the date of the award of the contract;
(c) evidence that the tenderer is an animal feed manufacturer;
(d) a written undertaking by the tenderer to lodge a security for an amount equivalent to the difference between the intervention price for paddy rice applicable on the tender date plus EUR 15 and the price tendered per tonne of rice not later than two working days after the date of receipt of the notice of award of contract.
2. Once submitted, a tender may not be altered or withdrawn.
1. The closing date for the submission of tenders for the first partial invitation to tender shall be 17 October 2001 at 12.00 (Brussels time).
2. The closing dates for the submission of tenders for subsequent partial invitations to tender shall be each Wednesday at 12.00 (Brussels time), with the exception of Wednesday, 31 October 2001.

The intervention agency shall immediately notify all tenderers of the outcome of their participation in the tendering procedure.
Within three working days of the notification referred to in the first paragraph, it shall send notices of award of contract to successful tenderers by registered letter or written telecommunication.
Successful tenderers shall pay for the rice before it is removed, and at the latest within one month of the date of dispatch of the notice referred to in the second paragraph of Article 8. The risks and costs of storing rice that is not removed within the payment period shall be borne by the successful tenderers.
Following the expiry of the payment period, rice for which a contract is awarded and which is not removed shall be regarded for all purposes as having been removed from storage.
Where a successful tenderer fails to pay for the rice within the period referred to in the first paragraph, the contract shall be terminated by the intervention agency, where appropriate in respect of the quantity not paid for.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2480/95 (4), lays down, for the application of Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, measures to be taken where there is disturbance or the threat of disturbance on the Community market, and in particular the conditions of application of export taxes;

Whereas Council Decision No 90/233/EEC of 7 May 1990 (4) established the Tempus trans-European mobility scheme for university studies, hereinafter referred to as the 'Tempus scheme';
Whereas Article 11 of the said Decision provides that the Commission shall submit to the Council, before 31 December 1992, an interim evaluation of the results of the Tempus scheme as well as a proposal for the continuation or adaptation of the scheme beyond the initial pilot phase;

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 of 9 December 1996 on the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein(1), and in particular Article 19(2) thereof,
After consulting the Scientific Review Group,
Whereas:
(1) Article 4(6) of Regulation (EC) No 338/97 provides that the Commission may establish restrictions to the introduction of certain species into the Community in accordance with the conditions laid down in points (a) to (d) thereof.
(2) A list of species for which the introduction into the Community is suspended was last established in Commission Regulation (EC) No 349/2003 of 25 February 2003 suspending the introduction into the Community of specimens of certain species of wild fauna and flora(2).
(3) On the basis of recent information, the Scientific Review Group has concluded that the conservation status of certain species listed in Annexes A and B to Regulation (EC) No 338/97 will be seriously jeopardised if their introduction into the Community from certain countries of origin is not suspended.
(4) On the basis of further recent information, the Scientific Review Group has also concluded that the suspension of the introduction into the Community of the Lama guanicoe from Chile is no longer warranted by virtue of its conservation status.
(5) The countries of origin of the species subject to the new restrictions referred to in paragraph 3 have been consulted.
(6) Article 41 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1808/2001 of 30 August 2001, laying down detailed rules concerning the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 of the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein(3), contains provisions for the implementation by the Member States of the restrictions established by the Commission.
(7) Regulation (EC) No 349/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The necessity to avoid the disturbance of trade justifies that this Regulation enters into force on the third day following its publication.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Trade in Wild Fauna and Flora,
The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 349/2003 is replaced by the Annex to this Regulation

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds(1), and in particular Article 15(5) thereof,
After consultation of the Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions, the Committee pursuant to Article 147 of the Treaty, the Committee on Agricultural Structures and Rural Development and the Committee on Structures for Fisheries and Aquaculture,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 et seq. of Title II of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 lay down the procedure for preparing and implementing single programming documents.
(2) Article 15(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides that, after consultation with the partners referred to in Article 8 of the Regulation, the Member State may submit to the Commission a development plan which is treated as a draft single programming document, and which contains the information referred to in Article 16 of the Regulation.
(3) Under Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, on the basis of the regional development plan submitted by the Member State and within the partnership established in accordance with Article 8 of the Regulation, the Commission shall take a decision on the single programming document, in agreement with the Member State concerned and in accordance with the procedures laid down in Articles 48 to 51.
(4) The United Kingdom authorities submitted to the Commission on 15 November 1999 an acceptable draft single programming document for West Wales and the Valleys fulfilling the conditions for Objective 1 pursuant to Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. The draft contains the information listed in Article 16 of the Regulation, and in particular a description of the priorities selected and an indication of the financial contribution from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the European Social Fund (ESF), the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF), Guidance Section, and the Financial Instrument for Fisheries Guidance (FIFG), and the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the other financial instruments proposed for implementing the plan.
(5) The date of submission of the draft which was considered acceptable by the Commission constitutes the date from which expenditure under the plan is eligible. Under Article 30 of the Regulation, it is necessary to lay down the final date for the eligibility of expenditure.
(6) The rural development measures to be financed by the EAGGF are governed, in particular as regards their compatibility and consistency with common agricultural policy measures by Council Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999 of 17 May 1999 on support for rural development from the EAGGF and amending and repealing certain regulations(2).
(7) The single programming document has been drawn up in agreement with the Member State concerned and within the partnership.
(8) The Commission has satisfied itself that the single programming document is in accordance with the principle of additionality.
(9) Under Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Commission and the Member State are required to ensure, in a manner consistent with the principle of partnership, coordination between assistance from the Funds and from the EIB and other existing financial instruments.
(10) The EIB has been involved in drawing up the single programming document in accordance with the provisions of Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 and has declared itself prepared to contribute to its implementation in conformity with its statutory provisions.
(11) The financial contribution from the Community available over the entire period and its year-by-year breakdown are expressed in euro. The annual breakdown must be consistent with the relevant financial perspective. Under Article 7(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Community contribution has already been indexed at a rate of 2 % per year. Under Article 7(7) and Article 44(2) of the Regulation, the Community contribution may be reviewed at mid-term, and not later than 31 March 2004, to take account of the effective level of inflation and the allocation of the performance reserve.
(12) Provision must be made for adapting the financial allocations of the priorities of this single programming document within certain limits to actual requirements reflected by the pattern of implementation on the ground, in agreement with the Member State concerned.
The single programming document for Community structural assistance under Objective 1 in West Wales and the Valleys in the United Kingdom for the period 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2006 is hereby approved.
1. In accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the single programming document includes the following elements:
(a) the strategy and priorities for the joint action of the Community Structural Funds and the Member State; their specific quantified targets; the ex ante evaluation of the expected impact, including on the environmental situation, and the consistency of the priorities with the economic, social and regional policies and the employment strategy of the United Kingdom.
The priorities are as follows:
(i) expanding and developing the small and medium-sized enterprise base,
(ii) developing innovation and the knowledge based economy,
(iii) community economic regeneration,
(iv) developing people,
(v) rural development and the sustainable use of natural resources,
(vi) strategic infrastructure development,
(vii) use of technical assistance;
(b) a summary description of the measures planned to implement the priorities, including the information needed to check compliance with the State aid rules under Article 87 of the Treaty;
(c) the indicative financing plan specifying for each priority and each year the financial allocation envisaged for the contribution from each Fund and the total amounts of eligible public or equivalent expenditure and estimated private funding in the Member State. The total contribution from the Funds planned for each year for the single programming document is consistent with the relevant financial perspectives;
(d) the provisions for implementing the single programming document including designation of the managing authority, a description of the arrangements for managing the single programming document and the use to be made of global grants, a description of the systems for monitoring and evaluation, including the role of the Monitoring Committee and the arrangements for the participation of the partners in that Committee;
(e) the ex ante verification of compliance with additionality and information on the transparency of financial flows;
(f) information on the resources required for preparing, monitoring and evaluating the assistance.
2. The indicative financing plan puts the total cost of the priorities selected for the joint action by the Community and the Member State at EUR 3936584000 for the whole period and the financial contribution from the Structural Funds at EUR 1853431000.
The resulting requirement for national resources of EUR 1391722000 from the public sector and EUR 691431000 from the private sector can be partly met by Community loans from the EIB and other lending instruments.
1. The total assistance from the Structural Funds granted under the single programming document amounts to EUR 1853431000.
The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds for the various priorities included in the single programming document, is set out in the financing plan annexed to this Decision.
2.
>TABLE>
3. During implementation of the financing plan, the total cost or Community financing of a given priority can be adjusted in agreement with the Member State by up to 25 % of the total Community contribution to the single programming document throughout the programme period or by up to EUR 60 million, whichever is the greater, without altering the total Community contribution referred to in paragraph 1.
This Decision is without prejudice to the Commission's position on aid schemes falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty that are included in this assistance and which have not yet been approved by the Commission. Submission of the application for assistance, the programming complement or a request for payment by the Member State does not replace the notification required by Article 88(3) of the Treaty.
Community financing of State aid falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, requires prior approval by the Commission under Article 88 of the Treaty, except where the aid falls within the de minimis rule or is exempted under an exemption regulation adopted by the Commission under Council Regulation (EC) No 994/98 of 7 May 1998 on the application of Articles 87 and 88 to certain categories of horizontal aid(3). In the absence of such exemption or approval, aid is illegal and subject to the consequences set out in the procedural regulation for State aid, and its cofinancing would be treated as an irregularity within the meaning of Articles 38 and 39 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. Consequently, the Commission will not accept requests for interim and final payments under Article 32 of the Regulation for measures being cofinanced with new or altered aid, as defined in the procedural regulation for State aid, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, until such aid has been notified to and formally approved by the Commission.
By way of derogation from the preceding paragraphs, Articles 51 and 52 of Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999 shall apply in the context of rural development cofinanced by the EAGGF.
The date from which expenditure shall be eligible is 15 November 1999. The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure shall be 31 December 2008. This date is extended to 30 April 2009 for expenditure incurred by bodies granting assistance under Article 9(l) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.
This Decision is addressed to the United Kingdom. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3058/75 (2), and in particular Article 16 (6) thereof,
Whereas Articles 3 (3) and 4 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1957/69 of 30 September 1969 on additional detailed rules for granting export refunds on products subject to a single price system (3) fix the time limits during which products may remain under the systems laid down by Articles 2 and 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 441/69 of 4 March 1969 laying down additional general rules for granting export refunds on products subject to a single price system, exported unprocessed or in the form of certain goods not covered by Annex II to the Treaty (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1181/72 (5) ; whereas, pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1957/69, the time limits may be reduced in order to prevent difficulties arising on markets on account of the characteristics of the products or goods;
Whereas experience has shown that the time limits at present applied may cause difficulties in respect of the cereal products falling within Common Customs Tariff heading No 11.07 ; whereas, therefore, the time limits for these products should be reduced so that they correspond to the period of validity of the export licence which is outstanding on the date on which the products became subject to one of the systems of customs control instituted by Articles 2 and 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 441/69;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
For products falling within Common Customs Tariff heading Nos 10.01 A and 10.03 which are to be processed into products falling under Common Customs Tariff heading No 11.07, the first indent of the last subparagraph of Article 3 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1957/69 shall not apply.
However, where application of Article 3 (3) (a) would involve the products specified in the preceding subparagraph being subject to customs control for less than one month, that period shall be increased to one month.
1. By way of derogation from Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1957/69 the period therein referred to shall, in the case of products falling within Common Customs Tariff heading No 11.07, be reduced to the period of validity of the export licence which is outstanding on the date on which the products become subject to the customs control in question when such period of validity is less than six months.
2. Where the application of the preceding paragraph leads to a period under customs control of less than one month, such period shall be increased to one month.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
However, this Regulation shall not apply to products which, before its entry into force, were placed under one of the systems for advance payment of refunds instituted by Regulation (EEC) No 441/69.

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas Article 5c (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 (2), as introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 856/84 (3) fixes, for each Member State the total quantity of milk and milk equivalent delivered to undertakings treating or processing milk or other milk products in respect of the period 2 April 1984 to 31 March 1985 and the four subsequent 12-month periods; whereas the said quantity may not be exceeded;
Whereas the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 857/84 (4) specifies, for each Member State, the total quantity of direct sales of milk and milk equivalent in respect of those same periods; whereas that quantity may not be exceeded;
Whereas the fall in the production of farm butter in Belgium calls for a downward revision of the total quantity of direct sales and to an increase, of the same amount, in the total quantity of deliveries; whereas it is therefore necessary to correct, for Belgium, the amounts which correspond to the total quantities of deliveries, on the one hand, and of direct sales, on the other,
Article 5c of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 is hereby amended as follows:
1. In the second subparagraph of paragraph 3, '3 106' for Belgium is replaced by '3 131'.
2. In the third subparagraph of paragraph 3, '3 138' for Belgium is replaced by '3 163'.

of 28 February 2002

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sugar(1), and in particular Article 27(5)(a) and (15),
Whereas:
(1) Article 27(1) and (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1260/2001 provides that the differences between the prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a), (c), (d), (f), (g) and (h) of that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in the Annex to that Regulation. Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common implementing rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1563/2001(3), specifies the products for which a rate of refund should be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001.
(2) In accordance with Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question must be fixed for each month.
(3) Article 27(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 and Article 11 of the Agreement on Agriculture concluded under the Uruguay Round lay down that the export refund for a product contained in a good may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing.
(4) The refunds fixed under this Regulation may be fixed in advance as the market situation over the next few months cannot be established at the moment.
(5) 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 jeopardized 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.
(6) It is necessary to ensure continuity of strict management taking account of expenditure forecasts and funds available in the budget.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products appearing in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 and listed in Article 1(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, exported in the form of goods listed in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, are fixed as shown in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 March 2002.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 2001/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 March 2001 on the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms and repealing Council Directive 90/220/EEC (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 18(1) thereof,
After consulting the European Food Safety Authority,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Directive 2001/18/EC, the placing on the market of a product containing or consisting of a genetically modified organism or a combination of genetically modified organisms is subject to written consent being granted by the competent authority concerned, in accordance with the procedure laid down in that Directive.
(2) A notification concerning the placing on the market of genetically modified oilseed rape products (Brassica napus L., lines Ms8, Rf3 and Ms8xRf3) was submitted by Bayer BioScience nv to the competent authority of Belgium.
(3) The notification covered cultivation and import of the genetically modified oilseed rape products (Brassica napus L., lines Ms8, Rf3 and Ms8xRf3) for all uses as for any other oilseed rape including use as or in feed, but with the exception of uses as or in food, in the Community.
(4) In accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 14 of Directive 2001/18/EC, the competent authority of Belgium prepared an assessment report, which was submitted to the Commission and the competent authorities of other Member States; whereby the assessment report concluded that the genetically modified oilseed rape products (Brassica napus L., lines Ms8, Rf3 and Ms8xRf3) should be placed on the market for import and processing and for use as any other oilseed rape but not for the requested use of cultivation.
(5) The competent authorities of certain Member States raised objections to the placing on the market of the products.
(6) In view of the objections raised by the competent authority of Belgium and other Member States concerning cultivation of the genetically modified oilseed rape products (Brassica napus L., lines Ms8, Rf3 and Ms8xRf3), the opinion of EFSA is restricted to import and processing, including use in feed.
(7) The opinion adopted in September 2005 by the European Food Safety Authority, concluded that the genetically modified oilseed rape products (Brassica napus L., lines Ms8, Rf3 and Ms8xRf3) are as safe as conventional oilseed rape for humans and animals, and in the context of the intended uses, for the environment. The European Food Safety Authority also concluded that the monitoring plan provided in the notification was acceptable in view of the intended uses.
(8) An examination of each of the objections in the light of Directive 2001/18/EC, of the information submitted in the notification and of the opinion of the European Food Safety Authority, discloses no reason to believe that the placing on the market of the genetically modified oilseed rape products (Brassica napus L., lines Ms8, Rf3 and Ms8xRf3) will adversely affect human or animal health or the environment.
(9) Processed oil from genetically modified oilseed rape derived from (a) the Ms8 oilseed rape line and all conventional crosses, (b) the Rf3 oilseed rape line and all conventional crosses and (c) the hybrid combination Ms8xRf3 has been placed on the market in accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 1997 concerning novel foods and novel food ingredients (2). As a consequence, it is subject to the requirements provided for in Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on genetically modified food and feed (3) and may be placed on the market and used in accordance with the conditions mentioned in the Community register of genetically modified food and feed.
(10) Unique identifiers should be assigned to the genetically modified oilseed rape products (Brassica napus L., lines Ms8, Rf3 and Ms8xRf3) for the purposes of Regulation (EC) No 1830/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 concerning the traceability and labelling of genetically modified organisms and the traceability of food and feed products produced from genetically modified organisms and amending Directive 2001/18/EC (4) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 65/2004 of 14 January 2004 establishing a system for the development and assignment of unique identifiers for genetically modified organisms (5).
(11) Adventitious or technically unavoidable traces of genetically modified organisms in products are exempted from labelling and traceability requirements in accordance with thresholds established under Directive 2001/18/EC and Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.
(12) In the light of the opinion of the European Food Safety Authority, it is not necessary to establish specific conditions for the intended uses with regard to the handling or packaging of the products and the protection of particular ecosystems, environments or geographical areas.
(13) In the light of the opinion of the European Food Safety Authority, an appropriate management system should be in place to prevent grains of the genetically modified oilseed rape products (Brassica napus L., lines Ms8, Rf3 and Ms8xRf3) entering cultivation.
(14) Prior to the placing on the market of the products, the necessary measures to ensure its labelling and traceability at all stages of its placing on the market, including verification by appropriate validated detection methodology, should be applicable.
(15) The measures provided for in this Decision are not in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established under Article 30 of Directive 2001/18/EC and the Commission therefore submitted to the Council a proposal relating to these measures. Since on the expiry of the period laid down in Article 30(2) of Directive 2001/18/EC the Council had neither adopted the proposed measures nor indicated its opposition to them in accordance with Article 5(6) of Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (6) the measures should be adopted by the Commission,

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 309/84
of 6 February 1984
opening, allocating and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for certain spiced and salted herring falling within subheading ex 16.04 C II of the Common Customs Tariff
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Whereas the production of spiced and salted herring is currently insufficient in the Community to meet the requirements of the user industries in the Community; whereas, consequently, Community supplies of products of this type currently depend to a considerable extent on imports from third countries; whereas it is in the Community's interest to suspend partially the Common Customs Tariff duty for the products in question, within the Community tariff quota, of an appropriate volume for a relatively limited period; whereas, in order not to call into question the development prospects of this production in the Community while ensuring an adequate supply to satisfy user industries, it is advisable to limit the benefits of the tariff quota to products presented in immediate packings of a net capacity of 10 kilograms or more, with an average weight for four whole herring or six headless herring exceeding 1 kilogram, to open the quota for a period up to 31 March 1984, to fix the volume of this quota at 1 000 tonnes, corresponding to the needs for imports from third countries during that period, and to fix the quota duty at 10 %;
Whereas, in particular, equal and continuous access to the quota should be ensured for all Community importers and the rate of duty for the tariff quota should be applied consistently to all imports until the quota is exhausted; whereas, in the light of these principles, arrangements for the utilization of the tariff quota based on an allocation among Member States would seem to be consistent with the Community nature of the quota; whereas, to correspond as closely as possible to the actual trend in the market in the product in question, allocation of the quota should be in proportion to the requirements of the Member States as calculated by reference to statistics of imports from third countries during a representative reference period and to the economic outlook for the quota period in question;
Whereas, however, since the quota is an autonomous Community tariff quota intended to cover import needs arising in the Community, for experimental purposes, the quota volume may be allocated on the basis of the temporary import needs from third countries expressed by each of the Member States; whereas these arrangements for allocation will equally ensure the uniform application of the Common Customs Tariff;
Whereas, to take account of possible import trends for the product concerned, the quota volume should be divided into two instalments, the first being allocated between certain Member States and the second held as a reserve to meet subsequent requirements of Member States which have used up their initial shares and any additional requirements which might arise in the other Member States;
Whereas, to give importers of the Member States some degree of certainty, the first instalment of the tariff quota should be fixed at a relatively high level, which in this case could be 950 tonnes;
Whereas initial shares may be used up at different rates; whereas, to avoid disruption of supplies on this account, it should be provided that any Member State which has almost used up its initial share should draw an additional share from the reserve; whereas, each time its additional share is almost used up, a Member State should draw a further share, and so on as many times as the reserve allows; whereas the initial and additional shares should be valid until the end of the quota period; whereas this form of administration requires close collaboration between the Member States and the Commission, which latter must be in a position to keep account of the extent to which the quotas have been used up and to inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any measure concerning the administration of the shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
1. From the date of entry into force of this Regulation until 31 March 1984, the Common Customs Tariff duty for spiced and salted herring presented in immediate packings of a net capacity of 10 kilograms or more, with an average weight for four whole herring or six headless herring exceeding 1 kilogram, falling within subheading ex 16.04 C II, shall be suspended at a level of 10 % within the framework of a Community tariff quota of 1 000 tonnes.
2. Within the limits of this tariff quota, Greece shall apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions in the 1979 Act of Accession.
1. A first instalment of 950 tonnes of this Community tariff quota shall be allocated among certain Member States; the shares, which shall be valid until 31 March 1984, shall be as follows:
1.2 // // (tonnes) // Denmark // 660 // Germany // 220 // France // 20 // United Kingdom // 50
2. The second instalment of 50 tonnes shall constitute the reserve.
1. If a Member State has used 90 % or more of its initial share as fixed in Article 2 (1), it shall forthwith, by notifying the Commission, draw a second share, to the extent that the reserve so permits, equal to 5 % of its initial share rounded up as necessary to the next whole number.
2. If a Member State, after exhausting its initial share, has used 90 % or more of the second share drawn by it, that Member State shall forthwith, in the manner and to the extent provided in paragraph 1, draw a third share equal to 2,5 % of its initial share rounded up as necessary to the next whole number.
3. If a Member State, after exhausting its second share, has used 90 % or more of the third share drawn by it, that Member State shall, in the manner and to the extent provided in paragraph 1, draw a fourth share equal to the third.
This process shall apply until the reserve is used up.
4. By way of derogation from paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, a Member State may draw shares lower than those specified in those paragraphs if there are grounds for believing that those specified may not be used in full. Any Member State applying this paragraph shall inform the Commission of its grounds for so doing.
Additional shares drawn pursuant to Article 3 shall be valid until 31 March 1984.
The Commission shall keep an account of the shares opened by the Member States pursuant to Articles 2 and 3 and shall, as soon as the notifications reach it, inform each Member State of the extent to which the reserve has been used up.
It shall ensure that the drawing which exhausts the reserve does not exceed the balance available, and to this end shall notify the amount of that balance to the Member State making the last drawing.
1. Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that additional shares drawn pursuant to Article 3 are opened in such a way that imports may be charged without interruption against their aggregate shares of the Community tariff quota.
2. Member States shall ensure that importers of the product in question have free access to the shares allotted to them.
3. Member States shall charge imports of the product in question against their shares as the product is entered with the customs authorities for free circulation. 4. The extent to which Member States have used up their shares shall be determined on the basis of imports charged against them under the conditions set out in paragraph 3.
At the Commission's request, the Member States shall inform it of imports actually charged against their shares.
The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 laying down Community procedures for the establishment of residue limits of pharmacologically active substances in foodstuffs of animal origin, repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 and amending Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 of the European Parliament and the Council (1), and in particular Article 14 in conjunction with Article 17 thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Medicines Agency formulated by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use,
Whereas:
(1) The maximum residue limit (hereinafter ‘MRL’) for pharmacologically active substances intended for use in the Union in veterinary medicinal products for food-producing animals or in biocidal products used in animal husbandry is to be established in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 470/2009.
(2) Pharmacologically active substances and their classification regarding MRLs in foodstuffs of animal origin are set out in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 (2).
(3) An application for the establishment of maximum residue limits for cabergoline in bovine species has been submitted to the European Medicines Agency.
(4) The Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use recommended the establishment of a MRL for cabergoline for bovine species, applicable to fat, liver, kidney, muscle and milk.
(5) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 the European Medicines Agency is to consider using MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in a particular foodstuff for another foodstuff derived from the same species, or MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in one or more species for other species.
(6) The Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use concluded that the extrapolation to other food producing species cannot be supported for this substance.
(7) Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 should therefore be amended to include the substance cabergoline for bovine species.
(8) It is appropriate to provide for a reasonable period of time for the stakeholders concerned to take measures that may be required to comply with the newly set MRL.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,
The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 18 August 2014.

amending Regulation (EC) No 883/2001, Council Regulation (EC) No 1037/2001 and Regulation (EC) No 2303/2003 regarding the prolongation of certain derogations relating to wine certification, labelling and oenological processes
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine (1), and in particular Article 53 and Article 68(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Decision 2005/798/EC of 14 November 2005, concerning the conclusion of an Agreement in the form of an exchange of letters between the European Community and the United States of America on matters related to trade in wine (2), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 24(2), Article 26 and Article 27(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 883/2001 of 24 April 2001 laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 as regards trade with third countries in products in the wine sector (3), the simplified procedure as regards the requirements for drawing up and using the certificate and analysis report for imports of wines applies to wines imported from the United States of America until 31 December 2005.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2303/2003 of 29 December 2003 on specific labelling rules for wines imported from the United States of America (4) provides for certain temporary derogations as regards the labelling of wines, which also expire on 31 December 2005.
(3) Notwithstanding Article 45(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999, Council Regulation (EC) No 1037/2001 of 22 May 2001 authorising the offer and delivery for direct human consumption of certain imported wines which may have undergone oenological processes not provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 (5) authorises the import into the Community of wines originating in the United States of America which have undergone certain oenological processes not provided for in the Community rules. That authorisation also expires on 31 December 2005 in respect of the oenological processes referred to in point 1(b) of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1037/2001.
(4) Following negotiations, an Agreement between the European Community and the United States of America on trade in wine has been initialled by the two Parties on 14 September 2005. Articles 4 and 9 of the Agreement will continue to treat wines originating in the United States in the same way as in Regulations (EC) No 883/2001, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 2303/2003. However, in accordance with Article 17(2) of that Agreement, Articles 4 and 9 will apply only from the first day of the second month following receipt of the written notice referred to in Article 6(3) of the Agreement. It was therefore necessary to negotiate a separate Agreement in the form of an exchange of letters between the European Community and the United States of America on matters related to trade in wine (6) covering the period from 31 December 2005 to the date of application of Articles 4 and 9 of the Agreement on trade in wine.
(5) In order to avoid any disruption of trade, provisions to implement the Agreement in the form of an exchange of letters should be adopted and in particular the three derogations provided for in Regulations (EC) No 883/2001, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 2303/2003 should remain in force until the date of application of Articles 4 and 9 of the Agreement on trade in wine but no later than three years from the date of entry into force of the Agreement in the form of an exchange of letters.
(6) Regulations (EC) No 883/2001, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 2303/2003 should be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
In Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 883/2001, paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:
‘2. Article 24(2) and Article 26 shall apply until the date of application of Articles 4 and 9 of the Agreement between the European Community and the United States of America on trade in wine but no later than three years from the date of entry into force of the Agreement in the form of an exchange of letters between the European Community and the United States of America on matters related to trade in wine (7).

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1427/97 (2), and in particular Article 76 thereof,
Whereas, by Council Regulation (EC) No 3281/94 of 19 December 1994 applying a four year scheme of generalized tariff preferences (1995 to 1998) in respect of certain industrial products originating in developing countries (3), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 998/97 (4), the Community gave such preferences to Bangladesh;
Whereas Articles 67 to 97 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 establish the definition of the concept of originating products to be used for the purposes of generalized tariff preferences; whereas Article 76 of that Regulation provides, however, for derogations to those provisions in favour of least-developed GSP-beneficiary countries which submit an appropriate request to that effect to the Community;
Whereas the Government of Bangladesh has applied for such a derogation in respect of certain textile products; whereas at the Community's request Bangladesh has provided the requisite additional economic information;
Whereas the request submitted by Bangladesh satisfies the requirements of Article 76; whereas in particular the introduction of quantitative conditions (on an annual basis) reflecting the Community market's capacity to absorb the Bangladeshi products, Bangladesh's export capacity and actual recorded trade flows, is such as to prevent injury to the corresponding branches of Community industry;
Whereas in order to encourage regional cooperation among beneficiary countries it is desirable to provide that the raw materials to be used in Bangladesh in pursuance of this derogation should originate in countries belonging to the Association of South-East Asian Nations (Asean) (except Myanmar), the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (Saarc) or the Lomé Convention;
Whereas provision should be made for the transfer of quantities between product categories in accordance with and up to the limits in Annex VIII to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 of 12 October 1993 on common rules for imports of certain textile products from third countries (5), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1445/97 (6);
Whereas the derogation may not in any case apply beyond 31 December 1998, when the current scheme of generalized tariff preferences for industrial products expires;
Whereas, as the result of undertakings entered into with the Bangladesh authorities, the provisions should be made applicable as from 15 October 1997;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
1. By way of derogation from Articles 67 to 97 to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, products listed in the Annex to this Regulation which are manufactured in Bangladesh from woven fabric (woven items) or yarn (knitted items) imported into that country and originating in a country belonging to the Association of South-East Asian Nations (Asean) (except Myanmar), the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (Saarc) or the Lomé Convention shall be deemed to originate in Bangladesh in accordance with the arrangements set out below.
2. For the purposes of paragraph 1, products shall be regarded as originating in Asean or Saarc when they are obtained in these countries according to the rules of origin provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, or as originating in the beneficiary countries of the Lomé Convention when they are obtained in those countries according to the rules of origin provided in Protocol 1 to the Fourth ACP-EEC Convention (7).
3. The competent authorities of Bangladesh shall undertake to take all of the necessary measures to ensure compliance with the provisions of paragraph 2.
The derogation provided for in Article 1 shall apply to products, imported into the Community from Bangladesh during the period 15 October 1997 to 31 December 1998, up to the annual quantities listed in the Annex against each product.
The quantities referred to in the Annex shall be managed by the Commission, which shall take any appropriate administrative measures to ensure that they are managed efficiently.
Where an importer presents a declaration for release for free circulation in a Member State, applying to take advantage of the provisions of this Regulation, and the declaration is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall notify the Commission and draw an amount corresponding to its requirements.
Requests for drawings indicating the date on which the declarations were accepted, shall be sent to the Commission without delay.
Drawings shall be granted by the Commission by reference to the date on which the customs authorities of the Member State concerned accepted the declaration for release for free circulation, to the extent that the available balance so permits.
If a Member State does not use the amount drawn it shall return it as soon as possible to the corresponding quantity.
If the amounts requested are greater than the available balance of the quantity in question, the balance shall be allocated among applicants, pro rata. The Commission shall inform the Member States of the drawings made.
Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the products in question have equal and continuous access to the quantities for as long as the balance of the relevant quantity so permits.
Quantities may be transferred in accordance with the provisions and up to the limits set out in Annex VIII to Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93, in the version as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2231/96 (8).
The following shall be entered in box 4 of certificates of origin Form A issued pursuant to this Regulation:
'Derogation - Regulation (EC) No 2260/97`.
In case of doubt, the Member States may demand a copy of the document certifying the origin of the materials used in Bangladesh under this derogation. Such a demand may be made at the time of entry into free circulation of the goods benefiting from this Regulation, or within the framework of the administrative cooperation for which provision is made in Article 94 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 15 October 1997.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1299/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on specific provisions for the support from the European Regional Development Fund to the European territorial cooperation goal (1), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
After consulting the Coordination Committee for the European Structural and Investment Funds established by Article 150(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 laying down common provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund, the Cohesion Fund, the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and laying down general provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund, the Cohesion Fund and the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 (2),
Whereas:
(1) Article 4(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1299/2013 sets out the global resources available for the European territorial cooperation goal and its distribution among cross-border cooperation, transnational cooperation and interregional cooperation.
(2) Pursuant to Article 4(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1299/2013, the Commission communicated to each Member State its share of the global amounts for cross-border and transnational cooperation broken down by year in accordance with criteria and methodology set out in that Article.
(3) Pursuant to Article 4(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1299/2013, based on the amounts communicated each Member State informed the Commission whether and how it has used the transfer option provided for in Article 5 of that Regulation and the resulting distribution of funds among the cross-border and transnational programmes in which the Member State participates.
(4) Pursuant to Article 4(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1299/2013, the contribution from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) to cross-border and sea-basin programmes under the European Neighbourhood Instrument (ENI) within the scope of Regulation (EU) No 232/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) and the Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA II) within the scope of Regulation (EU) No 231/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) should be established by the Commission and the Member States concerned. As the amounts concerning the contribution from the ERDF to cross-border and sea-basin programmes under ENI are not yet agreed, this Decision sets out the amounts for IPA II only.
(5) Article 4(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1299/2013 provides that the Commission should adopt a decision setting out the list of all cooperation programmes and indicating the global amount of the total ERDF support for each programme.
(6) It is therefore necessary to set up the list of cooperation programmes and to indicate the global amount of the total ERDF support for each programme,
The list of cross-border cooperation programmes and the global amount of the total European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) support for each programme shall be as set out in Annex I.
The list of transnational cooperation programmes and the global amount of the total ERDF support for each programme shall be as set out in Annex II.
The list of interregional cooperation programmes and the global amount of the total ERDF support for each programme shall be as set out in Annex III.
The contribution from the ERDF to the cross-border programmes under the Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA II) within the scope of Regulation (EU) No 231/2014 for each Member State shall be as set out in Annex IV.
