COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 449/2010
of 25 May 2010
amending Council Regulation (EC) No 747/2001 as regards tariff quotas of the Union for certain agricultural and processed agricultural products originating in Egypt and repealing Regulations (EC) No 2276/2003, (EC) No 955/2005, (EC) No 1002/2007 and (EC) No 1455/2007
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 747/2001 of 9 April 2001 providing for the management of Community tariff quotas and of reference quantities for products eligible for preferences by virtue of agreements with certain Mediterranean countries and repealing Regulations (EC) No 1981/94 and (EC) No 934/95 (1) and in particular Article 5(1)(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In 2008 an Agreement has been concluded in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the Arab Republic of Egypt concerning reciprocal liberalisation measures on agricultural products, processed agricultural products and fish and fishery products, the replacement of Protocols 1 and 2 and their annexes and amendments to the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Arab Republic of Egypt, of the other part, hereinafter ‘the Agreement’, which has been approved by Council Decision 2010/240/EC (2).
(2) The Agreement provides for new tariff quotas for agricultural and processed agricultural products originating in Egypt. It provides also for changes to existing tariff quotas for those products which are laid down in Regulation (EC) No 747/2001, Commission Regulation (EC) No 2276/2003 of 22 December 2003 opening tariff quotas and laying down the duties applicable within these tariff quotas for imports into the European Community of certain processed agricultural products originating in Egypt (3), Commission Regulation (EC) No 955/2005 of 23 June 2005 opening a Community import quota for rice originating in Egypt (4), Commission Regulation (EC) No 1002/2007 of 29 August 2007 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 2184/96 concerning imports into the Community of rice originating in and coming from Egypt (5) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1455/2007 of 10 December 2007 opening certain Community import quotas for rice originating in Egypt (6).
(3) It is necessary to implement the new tariff quotas and the changes to the existing tariff quotas provided for in the Agreement. For reasons of clarity, it is appropriate to bring together all tariff quotas for agricultural and processed agricultural products originating in Egypt in one single legislative act.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 747/2001 should therefore be amended accordingly and Regulations (EC) No 2276/2003, (EC) No 955/2005, (EC) No 1002/2007 and (EC) No 1455/2007 should therefore be repealed.
(5) Import licences issued under Regulation (EC) No 955/2005 and Regulation (EC) No 1002/2007 are valid from their date of issue until the end of the following month. Where the validity period of import licences issued under those Regulations before the entry into force of this Regulation expires after the date of repeal of those Regulations, importers could not comply with their obligations related to import licences. Member States should therefore be permitted in such cases to derogate from Commission Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 of 23 April 2008 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (7), and to release the security lodged by importers. In the interest of clarity it should also be provided that import licences issued after the entry into force of this Regulation under Regulation (EC) No 955/2005 and Regulation (EC) No 1002/2007 are to be valid only until the date of repeal of those Regulations.
(6) For the purpose of calculating the tariff quotas for the first year of application, it should be provided, in accordance with the Agreement, that the volumes of the tariff quotas for which the quota period starts before the date of entry into force of the Agreement, should be reduced by a proportion relating to that part of the period which has elapsed before that date.
(7) Since the Agreement enters into force on 1 June 2010, this Regulation should apply from that date. However, in the interest of legal certainty, provisions concerning the validity of licences issued before that date should apply immediately.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 747/2001 is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
Regulations (EC) No 2276/2003, (EC) No 955/2005, (EC) No 1002/2007 and (EC) No 1455/2007 are repealed.
1. The validity of import licences issued with an expiry date after 31 May 2010 under Regulation (EC) No 955/2005 and Regulation (EC) No 1002/2007 before the entry into force of this Regulation shall expire on 31 May 2010.
By derogation from Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 376/2008, until 30 June 2010 the titular holder of the import licences referred to in the first subparagraph may return the unused import licences to the competent authorities of the Member States concerned which shall release the security for the quantities not used.
2. By derogation from Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 955/2005 and Article 3(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1002/2007, the validity period of import licences issued under those Regulations after the entry into force of this Regulation shall not extend after 31 May 2010.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 June 2010 with the exception of Article 3 which shall apply from the date of the entry into force of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2635/97 (2), and in particular Article 21(3) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 61/98 of 19 December 1997 allocating, for 1998, catch quotas between Member States for vessels fishing in the zone of the Russian Federation (3), provides for cod quotas for 1998;
Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantitative limitations on catches of stocks subject to quotas, it is necessary for the Commission to fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated;
Whereas, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of cod in the waters of ICES division III d (Russian waters) by vessels flying the flag of Sweden or registered in Sweden have reached the quota allocated for 1998; whereas Sweden has prohibited fishing for this stock as from 23 January 1998; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,
Catches of cod in the waters of ICES division III d (Russian waters) by vessels flying the flag of Sweden or registered in Sweden are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated to Sweden for 1998.
Fishing for cod in the waters of ICES division III d (Russian waters) by vessels flying the flag of Sweden or registered in Sweden is prohibited, as well as the retention on board, the transhipment and the landing of such stock captured by the above mentioned vessels after the date of application of this Regulation.

2000/409/EC: Council Decision of 19 June 2000 on the signing and conclusion of Agreed Minutes between the European Community and the Government of the Republic of Korea relating to the world shipbuilding market
|
Council Decision
of 19 June 2000
on the signing and conclusion of Agreed Minutes between the European Community and the Government of the Republic of Korea relating to the world shipbuilding market
(2000/409/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 in conjunction with the first sentence of Article 300(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The world shipbuilding industry is experiencing severe problems due mainly to overcapacity. Unlike the Community industry, which carried out a programme of restructuring and capacity cuts throughout the 1990s, Korean shipyards substantially increased their capacity from 1993 onwards.
(2) A study of Korean contracts carried out for the Commission by an independent consultant showed that Korean shipyards were pricing well below cost. Such practices have enabled the Korean industry to increase its market share substantially, in particular at the expense of the Community industry, which is currently experiencing severe difficulties. With world prices extremely low, the Community industry saw its market share decline from 25 % in 1998 to 17 % in 1999.
(3) On 9 November 1999 and on 18 May 2000 the Council, examining the first and the second reports on the situation in world shipbuilding presented by the Commission under Article 12 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1540/98 of 29 June 1998 establishing new rules on aid to shipbuilding(1), noted that the sector was facing a critical situation worldwide and expressed its serious concern at such practices which were severely damaging to the interests of shipyards within the Community. In their Conclusions, the industry ministers called on the Commission to pursue its efforts to establish a level playing field for the sector by immediately engaging the Republic of Korea in constructive consultations with a view to halting the unfair competition.
(4) As instructed, the Commission accordingly held several rounds of intensive consultations with the Korean Government and negotiated draft Agreed Minutes. Once the Agreed Minutes are signed they will commit the Korean Government to refrain from any direct or indirect intervention to underwrite loss-making Korean shipyards, to apply internationally accepted financial and accounting principles and to ensure that Korean shipyards set prices that reflect market conditions. The Agreed Minutes also provide ad hoc consultation machinery to deal promptly with any issue raised by either of the parties.
(5) The Agreed Minutes should be approved,
The Agreed Minutes between the European Community and the Government of the Republic of Korea relating to the world shipbuilding market are hereby approved.
The text of the Agreed Minutes is attached to this Decision.
The President of the Council is hereby authorised to designate the person empowered to sign the Agreed Minutes in order to bind the Community.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from third countries (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85 (2), and in particular Articles 4 (1) and 18 (1) thereof,
Whereas a list of establishments in Uruguay, approved for the purpose of importing fresh meat into the Community, was drawn up initially by Commission Decision which was amended and published by Decision 81/92/EEC (3), as last amended by Decision 86/147/EEC (4);
Whereas a routine inspection under Article 5 of Directive 72/462/EEC and Article 3 (1) of Commission Decision 86/474/EEC of 11 September 1986 concerning the on-the-spot inspections to be carried out in respect of the importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from non-member countries (5) has revealed that the level of hygiene of one establishment has altered since the last inspection;
Whereas the list of establishments should therefore be amended;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
The Annex to Decision 81/92/EEC is hereby replaced by the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

(84/248/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 77/93/EEC of 21 December 1976 on protective measures against the introduction into the Member States of organisms harmful to plants or plant products (1), as last amended by Directive 81/7/EEC (2), and in particular Article 18 (2) thereof,
Whereas under Article 11 (1) of Directive 77/93/EEC, plants, plant products or other objects are not subject, at the time of their introduction into the territory of a Member State from another Member State, to prohibitions or restrictions relating to plant health measures, except where provided for in that Directive;
Whereas, under Article 18 (2) of the abovementioned Directive, the Member States may be authorized to adopt, when introducing into their territory plants or plant products, special plant health provisions in so far as such measures are also laid down for home-grown production;
Whereas the Federal Republic of Germany by the Verordnung zur Bekaempfung von Viruskrankheiten im Obstbau of 26 July 1978 (Bundesgesetzblatt, part I, p. 1120), as amended by Verordnung of 22 November 1979 (Bundesgesetzblatt, part I, p. 1948) has introduced special plant health measures for the marketing of certain fruit plants intended for planting;
Whereas those measures seem appropriate to control certain harmful organisms, known to occur in the Federal Republic, at the lowest possible level and to prevent their spread;
Whereas they can be effective only where they are not restricted to home-grown production;
Whereas the Federal Republic of Germany should therefore be authorized to apply the measures also to products introduced into its territory from other Member States;
Whereas this authorization is without prejudice to a possible future Community certification scheme for fruit-plant propagating material, and should therefore be limited in time, subject to possible extension, should the Community certification scheme not yet be defined at the time of expiry of the authorization;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
1. The Federal Republic of Germany is hereby authorized to apply, from 1 October 1984, the provisions of the Verordnung zur Bekaempfung von Viruskrankheiten im Obstbau and in accordance with the Annex to this Decision also to plants introduced into its territory from another Member State.
2. Compliance with the provisions referred to in paragraph 1 shall be established at the request of the German authorities, through the presentation, by the consignee, of either an official document issued in the consignor Member State or a document issued by the producer of the material, certifying that the material derives from material found free of the harmful organisms listed in the Annex to this Decision.
3. Specific checks for compliance with the provisions referred to in paragraph 1 shall not take place at the time of introduction of the material into the Federal Republic of Germany.
The authorization granted in Article 1 shall expire on 31 December 1986.
This Decision is addressed to the Federal Republic of Germany.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/426/EEC of 26 June 1990 on animal health conditions governing the movement and import from third countries of equidae (1), and in particular Article 5 (5) thereof,
Whereas the Commission, by Decision 90/552/EEC (2) determined the limits of the territory infected with African horse sickness;
Whereas certain parts of the territory of Spain and Portugal are no longer, pursuant to Article 5 (2) (a) and (b) of Directive 90/426/EEC, to be considered as infected with African horse sickness;

The Annex to Decision 90/552/EEC is hereby replaced by the following:

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 78(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2076/2002 (2) listed delta-endotoxin of Bacillus thuringiensis in its Annex I setting out active substances which are not included as active substance in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC (3). That listing was due to the fact that a commitment to further prepare the necessary dossier for that active substance had not been notified.
(2) The Commission realised that listing delta-endotoxin of Bacillus thuringiensis in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2076/2002 could give rise to confusion in view of the fact that Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (4) lists several strains of Bacillus thuringiensis as approved active substances.
(3) Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2076/2002 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Amendment to Regulation (EC) No 2076/2002
In Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2076/2002 the entry ‘delta-endotoxin of Bacillus thuringiensis’ is deleted.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 608/82 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 27 April 1983, Italy requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'LSI - Vascular Diagnostic Computer', ordered on 11 January 1982 and intended to be used for the analysis of the different parameters that can vary in the course of vascular disease, in particular the pulse volume curve and the perfusion volume of the limb, and determination of the perfusion pressure on any arterial segment, should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 23 September 1983 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a computer; whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,
The apparatus described as 'LSI - Vascular Diagnostic Computer', which is the subject of an application by Italy of 27 April 1983, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 569/86 of 25 February 1986 laying down general rules for the application of the supplementary mechanism applicable to trade (1), and in particular Article 7 (1) thereof,
Whereas Article 249 of the Act of Accession provides that olive oil and oilcake are to be subject to the supplementary trade mechanism (STM); whereas Article 251 of the same Act provides that an estimate is to drawn up at the start of each marketing year on the basis of production and consumption estimates for olive oil and oilcake in Portugal; whereas, however, as regards oilcake, reference should be made to the calendar year; whereas the target ceilings fixed are based on these estimates;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1634/86 (2), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3507/86 (3), laid down detailed rules for the application of the supplementary trade mechanism to olive oil and oilcake imported into Portugal and the target ceilings in Portugal for the period 1 March to 31 December 1986;
Whereas the amount of the securities provided for on issue of the STM import licences should be reduced;
Whereas the target ceilings for 1987 in the case of oil-cake and for the 1986/87 marketing year in the case of olive oil should be fixed;

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 499/96 of 19 March 1996 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for certain fishery products and live horses originating in Iceland (1), Community tariff quotas were opened for such fishery products and live horses.
(2) Participation of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia (hereinafter the Acceding States) in the European Economic Area was agreed by means of the EEA Enlargement Agreement, signed between the Community and its Member States, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway and the Acceding States on 14 October 2003.
(3) Pending the completion of the procedures required for the adoption of the EEA Enlargement Agreement, an Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters was agreed, which provides for a provisional application of the EEA Enlargement Agreement. That Agreement has been approved by Decision 2004/368/EC (2).
(4) The EEA Enlargement Agreement provides for an additional Protocol to the EC-Iceland Free Trade Agreement of 1972, which provides for a new Community tariff quota for a fishery product. That tariff quota should be opened.
(5) The conventional duty of the Common Customs Tariff for that fishery product during the period 15 February to 15 June of each year is ‘free’, and usage of the abovementioned tariff quota is therefore unnecessary during that period.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 499/96 should be amended accordingly.
(7) Since the EEA Enlargement Agreement has taken effect from 1 May 2004, this Regulation should be applicable from the same date and should enter into force without delay,
Regulation (EC) No 499/96 is amended as follows:
1. in Article 1 the following paragraph 4 shall be added:
2. the Annex shall be amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
For 2004, the annual volume of the tariff quota with order number 09.0792 shall be reduced in proportion to the part of the quota period in whole weeks which has elapsed before the date given in the second paragraph of Article 3.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 May 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 9 April 1986
on transitional measures regarding the supplementary trade mechanism (STM)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Articles 90 (1) and 257 (1) thereof,
Whereas in accordance with Article 5 (3) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 574/86 of 28 February 1986 laying down detailed rules for the application of the supplementary trade mechanism (1), the STM licence is applicable to products under T2 ES arrangements;
Whereas Article 18 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 409/86 of 20 February 1986 on the methods of administrative cooperation to safeguard during the transitional period the free movement between the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985 on the one hand and Spain and Portugal on the other and between those two new Member States (2) specifies that goods in respect of which an AE 1 movement certificate or AE 2 form has been issued must benefit from the same arrangements as goods imported under a T2 ES or T2L ES document;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 410/86 of 24 February 1986 on transitional measures to be adopted, on account of the accession of Spain and Portugal, in respect of trade in agricultural products (3) provides, in Article 3 in particular, that products exported from Spain by 28 February and imported into the Community of Ten after that date in respect of an AE 1 movement certificate or AE 2 form are subject to the arrangements applicable to trade between the Community of Ten and Spain on 28 February 1986;
Whereas the provisions referred to above have resulted in differing interpretations as regards the supplementary trade mechanism for products of the wine sector exported before accession and stored in other Member States; whereas some of the provisions referred to above should be amended with a view to making them clearer; whereas, moreover, the Community rules should be applied in a uniform manner in order to make the products referred to above subject to the presentation of an STM licence when they are released for consumption in a Member State;
Whereas, moreover, experience has shown that the issue of STM licences for products of the wine sector gives rise to certain problems; whereas measures should be taken to prevent interference with trade; whereas, accordingly, importer Member States should, temporarily, also be authorized to issue STM licences, while the other Community rules concerning such licences would continue to apply;
Whereas the Management Committee for Wine has not delivered an opinion within the time-limit set by its Chairman,
1. STM import licences issued on or before 19 March 1986 may be used for the purpose of releasing for consumption in a Member State products of the wine sector which meet the requirements laid down in Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 409/86. Such licences shall be regarded as STM licences.
2. In the case of products of the wine sector meeting the conditions laid down in Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 409/86, the STM licence may be issued by the importing Member State, provided the application for the licence is lodged not later than 30 May 1986.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas a refund nomenclature was established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 88/90 (4);
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 28/90 (5), specifies new criteria for the classification of products falling within CN code 3505 10 50, which take effect from 1 March 1990; whereas it is therefore necessary to foresee certain provisions to preclude export refunds from being granted in cases where the product in question has either previously benefited from a production refund under Council Regulation (EEC) No 1009/86 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2779/89 (7), or has been imported from third countries under CN code 3505 10 50 prior to the implementation of the new criteria;

(notified under document number C(2006) 5)
(Only the French text is authentic)
(2006/15/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 of 14 July 1992 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular Article 7(5)(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92, the request from France to register the name Choucroute d’Alsace has been published in the Official Journal of the European Union
(2).
(2) Germany has objected to the registration in accordance with Article 7(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92. Its statement of objection covers non-compliance with the conditions laid down in Article 2 of that Regulation, the possible threat to the existence of a product which was legally on the market for at least five years preceding the date of the publication provided for in Article 6(2) and the generic nature of the name for which registration has been requested.
(3) Since the statement of objection was deemed admissible within the meaning of Article 7(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92, the Commission, by letter of 12 November 2004, requested France and Germany to seek agreement between themselves in accordance with their internal procedures, pursuant to Article 7(5) of that Regulation. However, no agreement was reached between those Member States within a period of three months, as a consequence of which the Commission must take a decision.
(4) As regards non-compliance with the conditions laid down in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92, the statement of objection challenges the claim that the choucroute possesses a specific quality due to factors allegedly peculiar to Alsace, namely the maturity of the cabbage, which is attributed to the climate and the characteristics of the soil in Alsace, the natural fermentation method and the know-how of the small family firms. The types of soil are described in the application for registration as deep, rich and well-drained. The semi-continental climate of the production area is marked by high temperatures in summer and sunny days alternating with cool nights in late autumn. However, such climate and soil conditions prevail in other regions where cabbages are grown and they are not, therefore, specific according to Article 2(2)(b). As regards the fermentation process, the specifications contain no elements which allow it to be described as ‘natural’ or to attribute it to the Alsace region alone. The specific quality or a particular characteristic of choucroute cannot, therefore, be based on such elements.
(5) As regards the reputation of the name Choucroute d’Alsace, the elements of proof contained in the application for registration basically refer to choucroute garnie (choucroute cooked and served with meat). Those elements thus refer to a cooked dish, which is a product falling outside the scope of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92. As regards the reputation of raw choucroute, the specifications and the proof provided do not make it possible to establish a specific reputation for choucroute that is independent of the reputation attributed to it as a cooked dish served with meat.
(6) In the light of those elements, the name does not meet the conditions laid down in Article 2(2)(b) of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92. Consequently, it is not necessary to examine whether the name Choucroute d’Alsace has a generic character in accordance with the criteria laid down in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92.
(7) The name Choucroute d’Alsace should not therefore be entered in the ‘Register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications’.
(8) The measure provided for in this Regulation is in accordance with the opinion of the Regulatory Committee on the Protection of Geographical Indications and Designations of Origin for Agricultural Products and Foodstuffs,
The name Choucroute d’Alsace shall not be entered in the ‘Register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications’ provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92.
This Decision is addressed to the French Republic.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1695/2005 (2) has opened a standing invitation to tender for the export of 1 500 000 tonnes of common wheat held by the French intervention agency.
(2) The invitations to tender made since this invitation to tender was opened have almost completely exhausted the quantities made available to the economic operators. In view of the strong demand recorded in recent weeks and the market situation, new quantities should be made available and the French intervention agency should be authorised to increase by 200 000 tonnes the quantity put out to tender for export.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 1695/2005 should be amended accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1695/2005 is hereby replaced by the following:
‘Article 2
The invitation to tender shall cover a maximum of 1 700 000 tonnes of common wheat for export to third countries with the exception of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Liechtenstein, Romania, Serbia and Montenegro (3) and Switzerland.

90/32/EEC: Commission Decision of 10 January 1990 altering the adjustment aid to the Portuguese refining industry for raw sugar imported from third countries at a reduced levy for the 1989/90 marketing year into Portugal (Only the Portuguese text is authentic)

COMMISSION DECISION
of 10 January 1990
altering the adjustment aid to the Portuguese refining industry for raw sugar imported from third countries at a reduced levy for the 1989/90 marketing year into Portugal
(Only the Portuguese text is authentic)
(90/32/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1069/89 (2), and in particular the seventh indent of Article 9 (6) thereof,
Whereas Article 9 (4) (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that, during the 1988/89 to 1990/91 marketing years, adjustment aid is to be granted as an intervention measure to the refining industry for raw sugar imported into Portugal at a reduced levy pursuant to Article 303 of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal and refined into white sugar in Portugal; whereas that aid amounts to ECU 0,08 per 100 kilograms of sugar expressed as white sugar for quantities of such sugar thus imported and refined in Portugal; whereas the quantities of raw sugar imported at a reduced levy are those refered to in the first paragraph of Article 303 of the Act of Accession as well as the quantities lacking referred to in the third paragraph of that Article, the import of which at a reduced levy is authorized for the marketing year under consideration;
Whereas the third subparagraph of Article 9 (4) (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that the abovementioned adjustment aid may be altered for a given marketing year, in the light in particular of the amount of the storage levy fixed for that year; whereas although sugar imported into Portugal at a reduced levy is not subject to the storage levy, in view of the quantities of such sugar refined that levy is a determining factor for the prices as a whole on the market for white sugar and therefore for the margin of the Portuguese refineries;
Whereas the amount of the storage levy for the 1989/90 marketing year was fixed by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1701/89 (3) at ECU 3,00 per 100 kilograms of white sugar; whereas that amount represents a reduction of ECU 0,50 per 100 kilograms of white sugar by comparison with that applicable for the 1988/89 marketing year;
Whereas, on the basis of data available to the Commission, it transpires that the reduction in that levy was actually passed on from 1 July 1989, resulting in a corresponding effect on the margins of the Portuguese refining industries, jeopardizing the balance sought through the granting of the aids in question and therefore the objectives pursued; whereas a corresponding alteration in the adjustment aid therefore appears necessary; whereas account should in addition be taken of the alteration in the aid in question that has already been made for the 1988/89 marketing year in order to neutralize the effect of successive storage levy reductions on the refining margin for the 1989/90 marketing year;
Whereas the Management Committee for Sugar has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The adjustment aid provided for in the second subparagraph of Article 9 (4) (c) pf Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 shall be increased to ECU 1,08 per 100 kilograms of sugar expressed as white sugar for the 1989/90 marketing year.
This Decision is addressed to the Portuguese Republic.

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 716/97 (2), and in particular Articles 6, 7 and 8 thereof,
Whereas, 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;
Whereas 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;
Whereas, 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);
Whereas, 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; whereas, 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;
Whereas, 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;
Whereas, moxidectin should be inserted into Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
Whereas isoxsuprine and praziquantel should be inserted into Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
Whereas a period of 60 days 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 Directive 93/40/EEC (4), to take account of the provisions of this Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,

Council Decision of 18 January 1993 concerning a Community loan in favour of the Italian Republic
|
COUNCIL DECISION of 18 January 1993 concerning a Community loan in favour of the Italian Republic
(93/67/EEC)THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1969/88 of 24 June 1988 establishing a single facility providing medium-term financial assistance for Member States' balances of payments (1), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, submitted after consultation of the Monetary Committee,
Whereas the Italian Republic has applied for medium-term financial assistance to support its balance of payments and its economic programme of adjustment and reform;
Whereas the total amount outstanding under previous loans granted to the Member States is within the ceiling specified in Regulation (EEC) No 1969/88;
Whereas in addition to the immediate problems in the balance of payments arising from the substantial capital outflows which occurred during the recent period of currency turbulence, the consequent reduction in official reserves and increase in short-term indebtedness, the Italian economy exhibits serious structural imbalances, in particular in the public finance domain, affecting the stability of its external position; whereas a balance of payments loan disbursed in tranches if justified while measures of consolidation and adjustment are undertaken; whereas the proceeds of the loan will be used to strenghten the Italian official reserves;
Whereas it is the intention of the Italian Government to re-enter the exchange rate mechanism (ERM) of the European Monetary System; whereas making such an ERM re-entry sustainable requires the implementation of a programme which will achieve further progress in reducing inflation and an improvement in the structure of the public finances; whereas such objectives of improved convergence with the best-performing Community economies will only be met by a substantial reduction in public sector deficits leading to a declining trend in the public debt/GDP ratio, by reforms of the organisation of the public sector, by a tight monetary policy and by a firm exchange rate policy;
Whereas the Italian Government is pursuing a three-year programme of budgetary adjustment aimed at substantially reducing deficits so that the public debt ratio is first stabilized and then put on a downward trend, and has presented this programme on which its application for a loan is based; whereas the Italian Government will implement fully its programme of budgetary adjustment and reform over a three-year period from 1993 to 1995 so as to achieve the targets and introduce the specific measures indicated in its programme agreed as follows:
1. The budgetary targets for 1993, 1994 and 1995 are set in order to achieve the stabilization of the public debt ratio by 1995. On the basis of a projected GDP growth of 1,5 % in 1993, 2,4 % in 1994 and 2,6 % in 1995 they are:
- for 1993, Lit 150 trillion for the State sector borrowing requirement, with a surplus for the State sector borrowing requirement net of interest payments (the primary surplus) of Lit 50 trillion,
- for 1994, Lit 125 trillion for the State sector borrowing requirement, with a primary surplus of Lit 77 trillion,
- for 1995, Lit 85 trillion for the State sector borrowing requirement, with a primary surplus of Lit 115 trillion.
2. If the burden of interest payments in 1994 and 1995 is foreseen to exceed that projected at present by the Italian authorities (Lit 202 trillion in 1994 and Lit 200 trillion in 1995), the targets for the primary surplus will be revised upwards by the time detailed budget proposals for these years are announced, in order to ensure respect of the targets for the total borrowing requirement and to stabilize the gross public debt/GDP ratio by 1995. Thereafter the primary surplus will be maintained at a sufficiently high level to ensure further reductions in the total deficit and a downward trend in the debt ratio.
3. The deficit targets are set in absolute amounts as stated above; on the basis of the latest macro-economic projections made by the Italian authorities they represent:
- for the State sector borrowing requirement, 9,3 % of GDP in 1993, 7,3 % in 1994 and 4,7 % in 1995,
- for the primary surplus, 3,1 % of GDP in 1993, 4,5 % in 1994 and 6,4 % in 1995;
The corresponding development of the State sector gross debt/GDP ratio is 110,6 % at end 1993, 112,5 % at end 1994 and 112,4 % at end 1995.
4. The programme of privatization of State-owned assets to be pursued by the Italian authorities is intended to provide net proceeds to the State sector accounts of Lit 7 trillion in 1993, Lit 15 trillion in 1994 and Lit 12 trillion in 1995. Within the framework of legislation already passed, the Italian Government will publish a list of public sector enterprises and other State-owned assets to be privatized together with an indicative timetable for these sales. Any State sector privatization receipts in excess of those currently planned will be used to increase the State sector primary surplus and hence to reduce the debt ratio, and will not be used to substitute for other necessary adjustments of expenditure and revenue.
5. Within the framework of the enabling legislation already enacted, the Italian Government will continue implementation of detailed measures of structural reform in the areas of: (1) health care, with the aim of reducing inefficiencies and containing expenditure, also by rendering the regional level of government fully responsible for expenditure overruns incurred in the operations of the decentralized National Health Service; (2) civil service, in order to improve the control on expenditure for compensation of employees and the efficiency and productivity of public administration, also by having recourse to extended mobility of personnel and increasing managerial responsibility; (3) pensions, with the objective of stabilizing pension expenditure relative to GDP, also by raising the retirement age, harmonizing pension schemes and limiting indexation to the protection of purchasing power; (4) local finance, in order to decrease the dependence of local authorities on transfers from the central government, also by introducing new forms of local taxation;
Whereas it is also the intention of the Italian authorities to continue the pursuit of policies in the monetary sphere and in the field of incomes conducive to reducing the rate of inflation, in particular:
- geared to the primary objective of containing inflationary pressures, the growth of M2 in 1993 will be in the range of 5 to 7 %, which is consistent with the 1993 projections for nominal GDP growth. In conjunction with this objective, the Banca d'Italia will closely monitor the growth rate of domestic credit consistent with the objectives for the rate of inflation and expansion of M2. In 1994 and 1995, monetary targets and out-turns should continue to be in line with the decline in inflation projected in the Italian Government's budgetary adjustment three-year programme. It is the intention of the Italian Government to introduce legislation designed to abolish the legal possibility of monetary financing by the end of 1993, anticipating the objective of Article 104 of the Treaty on European Union,
- the Italian Government will seek to secure wage moderation throughout the economy by building on the July 1992 agreement between the Government, the trade unions and the industrial employers' association on the reform of the wage-setting mechanism and by maintaining the planned wage restraint in the public sector;
Whereas it is agreed that in the implementation of this Decision the Italian authorities will consult closely with the Commission and will make available all the necessary information for a full and effective monitoring of the agreed programme of adjustment; whereas, in accordance with this Decision, developments in the Italian economy and in Italian economic policy will be reviewed twice a year in the framework of multilateral surveillance or more frequently if warranted,
The Community shall grant the Italian Republic under Regulation (EEC) No 1969/88 a loan of ECU 8 000 million or the equivalent amount in other currencies.
The loan shall be made available to the Italian Republic in four instalments. The average life of each instalment shall not exceed six years and therefore the average life of the loan shall not exceed six years. The first two instalments shall be made as follows:
- the first instalment amounting to ECU 2 000 million of the equivalent in other currencies not earlier than 1 February 1993,
- the second instalment amounting to ECU 2 000 million or the equivalent amount in other currencies to be released not earlier than 31 July 1993, and in any case after the Commission, in consultation with the Council and in the light of an examination made in collaboration with the Monetary Committee of the progress in the execution of the programme, is satisfied that any additional measures which may be necessary have already been taken and that the budgetary targets of the programme for 1993, after taking into account weaker economic growth or higher interest rates than projected, are likely to be achieved.
The third and fourth instalments shall be made as follows:
- before 30 September 1993, the Italian Government, in collaboration with the Commission, will reassess the budgetary targets for 1994 so as to achieve the key objectives of the medium-term programme and in the light of actual and prospective macroeconomic developments. The third instalment amounting to ECU 2 000 million or the equivalent amount in other currencies will be released not earlier than 1 February 1994 and in any case only after the Commission, in consultation with the Council and in the light of an examination made in collaboration with the Monetary Committee, is satisfied that the measures necessary to achieve the budgetary targets set for 1994 have been implemented,
- before 30 September 1994, the Italian Government, in collaboration with the Commission, will reassess the budgetary targets for 1995 so as to achieve the key objectives of the medium-term programme and in the light of actual and prospective macroeconomic developments. The fourth instalment amounting to ECU 2 000 million or the equivalent amount in other currencies will be released not earlier than 1 February 1995 and in any case only after the Commission, in consultation with the Council and in the light of an examination made in collaboration with the Monetary Committee, is satisfied that the measures necessary to achieve the budgetary targets set for 1995 have been implemented.
1. The loan shall be granted on the basis of the decision taken by the Italian Republic to implement the budgetary adjustment and reform programme which it has presented, the objectives of which are set out in the recitals to this Decision.
2. The Commission, in collaboration with the Monetary Committee, shall examine at regular intervals the evolution of the economic situation of Italy and the execution of the budgetary adjustment and reform programme, as implemented. These examinations will continue until the loan is fully repaid.
This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 315/93 of 8 February 1993 laying down Community procedures for contaminants in food (1), and in particular Article 2(3) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EU) No 1258/2011 of 2 December 2011 amending Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 as regards maximum levels for nitrates in foodstuffs (2), and in particular Article 1(3) thereof,

COMMISSION DECISION of 1 April 1997 concerning the tonnage objectives of the multiannual guidance programmes for the Community fishing fleets for the period 1992 to 1996 (97/259/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3699/93 of 21 December 1993 laying down the criteria and arrangements regarding Community structural assistance in the fisheries and aquaculture sector and the processing and marketing of its products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 25/97 (2), and in particular Article 6 (5) and (6) thereof,
Whereas in the application of the provisions of Article 11 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 the Council adopted Decision 94/15/EC (3) relating to the objectives and detailed rules for restructuring the Community fisheries sector over the period 1 January 1994 to 31 December 1996 with a view to achieving a lasting balance between the resources and their exploitation;
Whereas Commission Decisions 92/588/EEC to 92/598/EEC inclusive (4) established multiannual guidance programmes fixing capacity objectives in gross registered tonnes (GRT) for the fishing fleets of the Member States for the period 1992 to 1996 and Council Regulation (EEC) No 2930/86 (5) required Member States to measure part of their fleet in units of gross tonnes (GT) before 18 July 1994;
Whereas the use of the formulae described in Article 1 (3) of Commission Decisions 95/238/EC to 95/248/EC (6) to convert the objectives of the programmes to units of GT could result in certain Member States being penalized for having begun the measurement of vessels in their fleets in units of GT prior to 1992 with a view to fulfilling with their obligations under Regulation (EEC) No 2930/86;
Whereas for some Member States the definition of the GRT referred to in their multiannual guidance programmes was based on national units of tonnage;
Whereas the tonnage of any vessel not measured in the units that were used to define the objectives of the programme must be estimated in this unit with the sole purpose of calculating on a consistent basis the situation of each segment of the fleets of the Member States with respect to the final objectives of their multiannual guidance programmes for the period 1992 to 1996;
Whereas the formulae used to estimate missing tonnage values should be based on the data available in the fishing vessel register of the Community with regard to those vessels in each Member State that have been measured in both GT and in the units that were used to define the objectives of the programme; whereas these formulae may differ between Member States in consequence of differences in the composition of the fleets;
Whereas for Sweden and Finland the objectives of the multiannual guidance programmes are expressed in GT and for Germany, Greece, Spain, France and Portugal, values of GRT have been declared to the fishing vessel register of the Community for all vessels in their fleets, and therefore no formulae to estimate GRT are required for these Member States;
Whereas the data on the fishing fleet are gathered according to the procedures laid down by Commission Regulation (EC) No 109/94 (7) as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 493/96 (8);
Whereas the measures provided for in the present Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,
For the purposes of the present Decision 'GRT` is defined according to the Oslo Convention of 10 June 1947 or according to national units of tonnage, depending on the definition used to formulate the objectives of the multiannual guidance programme of the Member State concerned for the period 1992 to 1996.
The results of the multiannual guidance programmes of each Member State will be assessed by comparing the tonnage objectives in GRT for 31 December 1996 set by these programmes for each segment of the fleet with the situation in GRT, as defined in Article 1, of the vessels in each segment of the fleet as at 31 December 1996.
1. The GRT, as defined in Article 1, of vessels for which this measurement has not at the time of the adoption of the present Decision been declared to the fishing vessel register of the Community according to the procedures of Regulation (EC) No 109/94 will be estimated using the formulae specified in the Annex to the present Decision. These estimates are considered to be definitive for the purpose of assessing the results of the multiannual guidance programmes for the period 1992 to 1996.
2. Using the data in the fishing vessel register of the Community, the estimated GRT values in each segment of the fleet will be calculated by the Commission and transmitted to the Member States concerned within one month of the adoption of this Decision so that the provisions of Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 3699/93, in particular paragraph 1 thereof, can be applied.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 235/86 (3), amended by Regulation (EEC) No 4087/86 (4) extended until 31 December 1987 Community surveillance of imports of video tape recorders originating in South Korea;
Whereas the reasons which were the basis for Regulation (EEC) No 235/86 are essentially still valid and consequently the surveillance regime should be extended to these products,
In Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 235/86 the date '31 December 1987' is replaced by 31 December 1988'.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the common fisheries policy(1), and in particular Article 7(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Immediate threats to the conservation of the aggregations of deep-water corals known as the Darwin Mounds gave rise to the adoption of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1475/2003 of 20 August 2003 on the protection of deep-water coral reefs from the effects of trawling in an area north-west of Scotland(2), on the basis of the emergency procedures provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 states that the emergency measures are to last no more than six months and that the Commission may take a new decision to extend them for an additional period of no more than six months.
(3) In order to provide for permanent protection of the habitat concerned, the Commission has submitted a proposal for a Council Regulation amending Regulation (EC) No 850/98(3) as regards the protection of deep-water coral reefs from the effects of trawling in an area north-west of Scotland(4).
(4) That Regulation might not be adopted before the expiry date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1475/2003. Meanwhile, the risks for the conservation of the Darwin Mounds persist.
(5) It is therefore appropriate to extend for six months the emergency measures provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1475/2003,
The application of Regulation (EC) No 1475/2003 shall be extended until 22 August 2004.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(notified under document number C(2004) 4181)
(Only the French, Dutch and Portuguese texts are authentic)
(2004/772/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1) (hereinafter ‘the Directive’), and in particular Article 23 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to the Directive, a financial contribution from the Community may be granted to Member States to cover expenditure relating directly to the necessary measures which have been taken or are planned to be taken for the purpose of combating harmful organisms introduced from third countries or from other areas in the Community, in order to eradicate or, if that is not possible, to contain them.
(2) Belgium and Portugal have each established a programme of actions to eradicate organisms harmful to plants introduced in their territories. These programmes specify the objectives to be achieved, the measures carried out, their duration and their cost. They have applied for the allocation of a Community financial contribution to these programmes within the time limit set out in the Directive and in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 1040/2002 of 14 June 2002 establishing detailed rules for the implementation of the provisions relating to the allocation of a financial contribution from the Community for plant-health control and repealing Regulation (EC) No 2051/97 (2) (hereinafter ‘the Regulation’).
(3) The expenditure which Belgium and Portugal have incurred, and which is taken into account in this Decision, relates directly to the matters specified in Article 23(2)(a) and (b) of the Directive.
(4) The technical information provided for by Belgium and Portugal has enabled the Commission to analyse the situation accurately and comprehensively; the information has also been considered by the Standing Committee on Plant Health. The Commission has concluded that the conditions for the granting of a financial contribution in Article 23 of the Directive have been met.
(5) Accordingly, it is appropriate to provide a Community financial contribution to cover the expenditure on these programmes.
(6) The Community financial contribution may cover up to 50 % of eligible expenditure. Excluding the programme for which degression has to be applied in accordance with the third subparagraph of Article 23(5) of the Directive, the Community financial contribution for the purposes of this Decision should be 50 %.
(7) The programme notified by Portugal has already been the subject of Community contributions under Commission Decisions 2001/811/EC (3), 2002/889/EC (4) and 2003/787/EC (5). An extension of the period in which eradication measures have to take place, as foreseen in the third subparagraph of Article 23(5) of the Directive, has been granted to this existing programme, as the examination of the situation has lead to the conclusion that the objective of these eradication measures is likely to be achieved within a reasonable period. The Community financial contribution for this programme, has been progressively reduced in accordance with the third subparagraph of Article 23(5).
(8) The contribution referred to in Article 2 of this Decision is without prejudice to further actions taken or to be taken and necessary for the achievement of the objective of eradication or control of the relevant harmful organisms.
(9) The present Decision is without prejudice to the outcome of the verification by the Commission under Article 24 of the Directive on whether the introduction of the relevant harmful organism has been caused by inadequate examinations or inspections and the consequences of such verification.
(10) In accordance with Article 3(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 (6), veterinary and plant health measures undertaken in accordance with Community rules shall be financed under the Guarantee section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund. Financial control of these measures comes under Articles 8 and 9 of the above Regulation, without prejudice to the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1040/2002 and paragraphs 8 and 9 of Article 23 of the Directive.
(11) The measures provided in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
The allocation of a Community financial contribution for 2004 to cover expenditure incurred by Belgium and Portugal relating directly to necessary measures as specified in Article 23(2) of Directive 2000/29/EC and taken for the purpose of combating the organisms concerned by the eradication programmes listed in the Annex to this Decision, is hereby approved.
1. The total amount of the financial contribution referred to in Article 1 is EUR 576 549.
2. The maximum amounts of the Community financial contribution for each eradication programme and for each year of implementation of the eradication programme shall be as indicated in the Annex to this Decision.
3. The resulting maximum Community financial contribution for the concerned Member States shall be as follows:
— EUR 210 485 to Belgium
— EUR 366 064 to Portugal.
Subject to the verifications by the Commission under Article 24 of Directive 2000/29/EC, the Community financial contribution as set out in the Annex shall be paid only when:
(a) evidence of the measures taken has been given to the Commission through appropriate documentation, in accordance with the provisions laid down in the Regulation, in particular Article 1(2) and Article 2 thereof;
(b) a request for payment of the Community financial contribution has been submitted by the Member State concerned to the Commission, in accordance with the provisions laid down in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1040/2002.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Belgium and the Portuguese Republic.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 608/82 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 16 September 1982, the Federal Republic of Germany requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'PAR - Oma 2 System', ordered on 6 December 1979 and intended to be used for surface- and spectro-photometry in respect of the spherical star clusters of neighbouring galaxies, should be considered to be a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 1 March 1983, within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements, to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a multichannel analyzer;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the precision in the spectral field of the action, and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of equivalent scientific value capable of use for the same purpose is not currently manufactured in the Community; whereas, therefore, duty-free admission of this apparatus is justified,
The apparatus described as 'PAR - Oma 2 System', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 16 September 1982, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 61(c) and Article 67 in conjunction with Article 300(2), first subparagraph, and Article 300(3), second subparagraph, thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the assent of the European Parliament,
Whereas:
(1) The Protocol of 12 February 2004 (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Protocol’) amending the Convention of 29 July 1960 on Third-Party Liability in the Field of Nuclear Energy, as amended by the Additional Protocol of 28 January 1964 and by the Protocol of 16 November 1982 (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Paris Convention’) contains provisions which affect the rules laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 of 22 December 2000 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters (1). This is a field in which the Community has exclusive competence.
(2) By Decision 2003/882/EC (2) the Council authorised the Member States which are Contracting Parties to the Paris Convention to sign the Protocol in the interest of the Community.
(3) By Decision 2004/294/EC (3) the Council authorised the same Member States to ratify the Protocol in the interest of the Community or to accede to it. According to Article 2 of that Decision, the Member States were to take the necessary steps to deposit simultaneously their instruments of ratification of the Protocol, or of accession to it, if possible before 31 December 2006.
(4) Decision 2004/294/EC was addressed to those Member States which were part of the Community on 8 March 2004, with the exception of Austria, Denmark, Ireland and Luxembourg, as is clear from the combined application of Article 1(3) and Article 4 of that Decision.
(5) The Republic of Slovenia is a Contracting Party to the Paris Convention and signed the Protocol on its own behalf on 12 February 2004. Since Decision 2004/294/EC was addressed only to certain Member States, the Republic of Slovenia could not upon its accession to the European Union on 1 May 2004 be considered an addressee thereof by virtue of Article 53 of the Act of Accession of 2003.
(6) The United Kingdom and Ireland are bound by Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 and are therefore taking part in the adoption of this Decision.
(7) In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of the Protocol on the position of Denmark annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Denmark does not take part in the adoption of this Decision and is not be bound by it or subject to its application.
(8) The ratification by the Republic of Slovenia of the Protocol is without prejudice to the position of the Member States of the Community which are not Contracting Parties to the Paris Convention,
Without prejudice to the Community’s powers, the Republic of Slovenia shall ratify, in the interest of the Community, the Protocol amending the Paris Convention.
Such ratification shall be without prejudice to the position of those Member States of the Community which are not Contracting Parties to the Paris Convention.
The Republic of Slovenia shall take the necessary steps to deposit its instrument of ratification of the Protocol, if possible simultaneously with the Member States addressed by Decision 2004/294/EC.
When ratifying the Protocol, the Republic of Slovenia shall inform the Secretary-General of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development in writing that ratification has taken place in accordance with this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Slovenia.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 of 28 June 1996 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards import duties in the cereals sector(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 597/2002(4), and in particular Article 2(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The import duties in the cereals sector are fixed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2392/2002(5).
(2) Article 2(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 provides that if during the period of application, the average import duty calculated differs by EUR 5 per tonne from the duty fixed, a corresponding adjustment is to be made. Such a difference has arisen. It is therefore necessary to adjust the import duties fixed in Regulation (EC) No 2392/2002.

Whereas Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 (3); as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2996/90 (4), lays down the period of validity of import licences;
Whereas for a certain period a sharp increase has been noted in imports of live calves from third countries; whereas such imports could disturb the Community market; whereas it is therefore necessary to ensure more frequent monitoring of the foreseeable trend of imports of such animals by limiting the period of validity of import licences to 30 days and by introducing weekly notification of the quantities for which licences have been issued;

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3569/83 of 16 December 1983 applying generalized tariff preferences for 1984 in respect of certain industrial products originating in developing countries (1), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 1 of that Regulation, duties on the products listed in Annex B originating in each of the countries or territories listed in Annex C shall be totally suspended and the products as such shall, as a general rule, be subject to statistical surveillance every three months on the individual ceiling referred to in Article 12; whereas, as provided for in Article 12, where the increase of preferential imports of these products, originating in one or more beneficiary countries, causes, or threatens to cause, economic difficulties in the Community or in a region of the Community, the levying of customs duties may be re-established once the Commission has had an appropriate exchange of information with the Member States; whereas for this purpose the individual ceiling to be considered shall be, as a general rule, 150 % of the highest maximum amount valid for 1980;
Whereas, in the case of isopropylamine and its salts, falling within subheading 29.22 A ex III, the individual ceiling is fixed at 104 300 ECU; whereas, on 12 September 1984, imports of these products into the Community, originating in Romania, reached the individual ceiling in question after being charged there-against; whereas the exchange of information organized by the Commission has demonstrated that continuance of the preference threatens to cause economic difficulties in a region of the Community;
Whereas, therefore, customs duties in respect of the products in question must be re-established against Romania,
As from 18 September 1984, the levying of customs duties, suspended pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3569/83, shall be re-established on imports into the Community of the following products originating in Romania:

90/462/EEC: Commission Decision of 6 August 1990 concerning applications for refund of anti-dumping duties collected on the import of vinyl acetate monomer originating in the United States of America (Guzman, SA)
|
COMMISSION DECISION of 6 August 1990 concerning applications for refund of anti-dumping duties collected on the import of vinyl acetate monomer originating in the United States of America (Guzman, SA) (90/462/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 16 thereof,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1)
By Regulation (EEC) No 2357/87 (2), the Council amended Regulation (EEC) No 1282/81, imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of vinyl acetate monomer originating in the United States
of America (3). Anti-dumping duty of 5,9 % was
applied to the American company US Industrial Chemicals Co., later to become Quantum Chemical Corporation, to which the 5,9 % duty was declared
to be applicable by Council Regulation (EEC)
No 2166/89 (4).
(2)
Since June 1988 Guzman, SA, Valencia, Spain, has been submitting periodic applications for refund of anti-dumping duties paid on the purchase of vinyl acetate monomer exported by the American company Quantum Chemical Corporation and sold by its subsidiary Quantum Chemical Europe BV, a Dutch company.
The Commission, with the agreement of the applicant, decided to treat the applications as recurring applications within the meaning of
point 1.4 of the Commission notice concerning the reimbursement of anti-dumping duties (hereinafter referred to as 'the notice' (5). Accordingly, the
applicant has submitted successive applications, within the three-month time limit set out under
Article 16
(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88. The information required to assess the merits of the applications has been provided at six-monthly intervals.
(3)
In November 1988 the Commission received a request lodged by Quantum Chemical Corporation, a US producer/exporter, for a review of the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports of vinyl acetate monomer originating in the United States of America. On 25 April 1989 the Commission opened the review proceeding covering the period October 1988 to March 1989 inclusive (6). In accordance with point 1.5 of the notice, it was decided that the proceeding regarding the application for reimbursement would
be suspended until termination of the review. However, the applicant continued to submit periodic applications. Council Regulation (EEC) No 490/90 repealed Regulation (EEC) No 2357/87 and terminated the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of vinyl acetate monomer originating in
the United States (7). Thus, since 2 March 1990, anti-dumping duty can no longer be imposed on imports of vinyl acetate monomer.
(4)
So as not to delay the decision on refunds, it was decided to process immediately the applications concerning imports made up to March 1989. These applications were examined during the review and are covered by this Decision. Recurring applications submitted after this date, or which might still be submitted, covering periods up to 1 March 1990 - when the duty ceased to be applicable - will be covered by a further Decision.
(5)
The total amount of refunds requested was Pta (. . .) (8), which represents all the duty paid during the reference period in question.
(6)
The applicant was informed of the results of this examination and had the opportunity to submit its comments.
(7)
Pursuant to Article 16 (2) of Regulation (EEC)
No 2423/88, the Commission informed the Member States and gave its opinion on the applications' admissibility and merits. No Member State raised any objection.
B. ARGUMENT OF THE APPLICANT
(8)
The applicant argued that the imports in question were not dumped.
C. ADMISSIBILITY
(9)
The applicant submitted its first request for refund on 1 June 1988 in respect of duties determined in December 1987 and March 1988. Pursuant to Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, applications for refund of anti-dumping duties are admissible if they are submitted within three months of the date on which the anti-dumping duties were duly determined. The first application by Guzman, SA is, therefore, inadmissible only in part and should be rejected in so far as it relates to duties determined in December 1987, in respect of which the amount of Pta (. . .) should be deducted from the total amount of refund requested.
The remaining recurring applications are admissible in that they were lodged in conformity with the relevant provisions of the Community's anti-dumping legislation, in particular with regard to time limits.
D. MERITS OF THE CLAIM
(10)
All the applications examined, covering the period March 1988 to March 1989, are well founded. Indeed, the applicant, in accordance with the provisions of Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, supplied evidence that the actual dumping margin had been eliminated by the time the imports
in question were made. The Commission was able
to verify all the information supplied and found that the dumping margin was nil. This development was due to substantial modifications in export prices resulting from significant changes in market conditions worldwide for the product imported.
Accordingly, the applications for refund of anti-dumping duties submitted by Guzman, SA for the period March 1988 to March 1989 inclusive should be granted in full.
E. AMOUNT TO BE REIMBURSED
(11)
A total of Pta (. . .) is therefore to be reimbursed to Guzman, SA,
The application for refund of anti-dumping duties submitted by Guzman, SA, Valencia, Spain, on 1 June 1988 is inadmissible in part and is hereby rejected in respect of an amount totalling Pta (. . .).
The applications for refund of anti-dumping duties submitted by Guzman, SA, Valencia, Spain, covering the period March 1988 to March 1989 inclusive are hereby granted for Pta (. . .).
The amount in Spanish pesetas set out in Article 2 shall be refunded by the Spanish authorities.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Spain and Guzman, SA, Valencia, Spain.

(1) Upon a request by Ireland, the Council granted financial assistance to it by means of Implementing Decision 2011/77/EU (2) in support of a strong economic and financial reform programme aiming at restoring confidence, enabling the economy to return to sustainable growth, and safeguarding financial stability in Ireland, the euro area and the Union.
(2) In line with Article 3(9) of Implementing Decision 2011/77/EU, the European Commission, together with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and in liaison with the European Central Bank (ECB), has conducted the eighth review of the Irish authorities’ progress on the implementation of the agreed measures as well as of the effectiveness and economic and social impact of those measures.
(3) Significant progress has been made towards the programme’s bank deleveraging objectives. Specifically, two domestic banks have either already met or are well on their way towards meeting the 122,5 % loan-to-deposit ratio (LDR) target, originally envisaged to be met by the end of 2013. The remaining domestic bank has completed some non-core asset disposals and its programme deleveraging requirements will be reassessed following a decision on its restructuring plan by the European Commission.
(4) In view of that significant progress, a modification of the programme’s monitoring framework for banks’ deleveraging towards nominal non-core asset disposal targets and advanced monitoring designed to ensure that banks improve their net stable funding ratios (NSFRs) and their liquidity coverage ratios (LCRs) would contribute to avoiding any undue distortion in banks’ deposit pricing and prepare banks for compliance with Basel III liquidity requirements.
(5) In light of those developments and considerations, Implementing Decision 2011/77/EU should be amended,
Article 3 of Implementing Decision 2011/77/EU is amended as follows:
(1) in paragraph 8, point (c) is replaced by the following:
‘(c) the deleveraging of the domestic banks towards the nominal targets for non-core asset disposals and amortisation established under the 2011 PLAR, unless otherwise agreed with the European Commission in the context of ongoing assessments of banks’ restructuring plans, and the monitoring of banks’ progress towards the relevant Basel III liquidity and net-stable-funding ratio requirements in line with the advanced monitoring framework agreed under the programme;’;
(2) paragraph 10 is replaced by the following:
(a) complete bank stress tests, aligned to the European Banking Authority (EBA) exercise, building on the outcomes from PCAR 2011 and the Financial Measures Programme 2012. The stress test shall be rigorous and continue to be based on robust loan-loss forecasts and a high level of transparency. The publication of the results shall be aligned with the timing of the next EBA exercise.
(b) deleverage the domestic banks towards the end-2013 nominal targets for non-core asset disposals and amortisation established under the 2011 PLAR, unless otherwise agreed with the European Commission in the context of ongoing assessments of banks’ restructuring plans, and monitor banks’ progress towards the relevant Basel III liquidity and net-stable-funding ratio requirements in line with the advanced monitoring framework agreed under the programme.’.
This Decision is addressed to Ireland.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 2357/2002
of 27 December 2002
on the management of textile quotas for the year 2003 of Council Regulation (EC) No 517/94 on common rules for imports of textile products from certain third countries not covered by bilateral agreements, protocols or other arrangements, or by other specific Community import rules
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 517/94 of 7 March 1994 on common rules for imports of textile products from certain third countries not covered by bilateral agreements, protocols or other arrangements, or by other specific Community import rules,(1) as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1309/2002(2), and in particular Article 17(3) and (6) and Article 21(2) and (3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 517/94 established quantitative restrictions on imports of certain textile products originating in certain third countries to be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
(2) Under that Regulation, it is possible, in certain circumstances, to use other allocation methods, to divide quotas into tranches or to set aside part of a specific quantitative limit exclusively for applications which are backed up by proof of the results of previous imports.
(3) Rules for management of the quotas established for 2003 should be adopted before the quota year begins so that the continuity of trade flows is not affected unduly.
(4) The measures adopted in previous years, such as those in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2538/2001 establishing rules for the management and distribution of textiles quotas established for the year 2002 under Council Regulation (EC) No 517/94(3), proved to be satisfactory and it is therefore appropriate to adopt similar rules for 2003.
(5) In order to satisfy the greatest possible number of operators it is therefore appropriate to make the "first come, first served" allocation method more flexible by placing a ceiling on the quantities which can be allocated to each operator by that method.
(6) To guarantee a degree of continuity in trade and efficient quota administration, operators should be allowed to make their initial import authorisation application for 2003 equivalent to the quantity which they imported in 2002.
(7) To achieve optimum use of the quantities, an operator who has used at least 50 % of the amount already authorised should be permitted to apply for a further amount provided quantities are available in the quotas.
(8) For the sake of sound administration, import authorisations should be valid for nine months from the date of issue but until the end of the year at the latest. Member States should issue licences only after being notified by the Commission that quantities are available and only if an operator can prove the existence of a contract and certify (except where specifically provided otherwise) that he/she has not already been allocated a Community import authorisation under this Regulation for the categories and countries concerned. The competent national authorities should, however, be authorised, in response to importers' applications, to extend by three months and up to 31 March 2004 licences of which at least 50 % has been used by the application date.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textile Committee,
The purpose of this Regulation is to lay down rules concerning the management of quantitative quotas for imports of certain textiles products set out in Annexes IIIB and IV to Regulation (EC) No 517/94 for the year 2003.
The quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be allocated on a "first come, first served" basis according to the chronological order of receipt by the Commission of Member States' notifications of applications from individual operators, for amounts not exceeding the maximum quantities per operator set out in the Annex.
These maximum quantities shall not, however, apply to operators able to prove to the competent national authorities when making their first application for 2003 that they imported, for given categories, given third countries and under import licences granted to them for 2002, more than the maximum quantities specified for each category.
In the case of such operators, the competent authorities may authorise imports of no more than the quantities imported in 2002 for given third countries and given categories, provided that enough quota is available.
Any importer who has used 50 % or more of the amount allocated to him under this Regulation may make a further application, in respect of the same category and country of origin, for amounts not exceeding the maximum quantities laid down in the Annex.
1. The competent national authorities may notify the Commission of the amounts of requests for import authorisations from 10.00 on 3 January 2003, Brussels time.
2. The competent national authorities shall issue authorisations only after being notified by the Commission that quantities are available in accordance with Article 17(2) of Regulation (EC) No 517/94.
They shall issue authorisations only if an operator:
(a) proves the existence of a contract relating to the provision of the goods; and
(b) certifies in writing that, in respect of the categories and countries concerned:
(i) he/she has not already been allocated an authorisation under this Regulation; or
(ii) he/she has been allocated an authorisation under this Regulation but has used up at least 50 % of it.
3. Import authorisations shall be valid for nine months from the date of issue, but until 31 December 2003 at the latest.
The competent national authorities may, however, at the importer's request, grant a three-month extension for authorisations which are at least 50 % used up at the time of the request.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(2004/288/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2003/85/EC of 29 September 2003 on Community measures for the control of foot-and-mouth disease repealing Directive 85/511/EEC and Decision 89/531/EEC and 91/665/EEC and amending Directive 92/46/EEC(1), and in particular Article 83(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Council Decision 91/666/EEC of 11 December 1991 establishing Community reserves of foot-and-mouth disease vaccines(2), stocks of antigens for the express formulation into vaccines against foot-and-mouth disease have been established.
(2) Pending the completion of their own arrangements for reserves of foot-and-mouth disease virus antigens, Australia and New Zealand have requested temporary assistance from the Community in case emergency vaccination would be introduced to control a possible foot-and-mouth disease outbreak.
(3) The competent authorities of Australia and New Zealand have provided information on their risk assessment and estimates of the quantities and subtypes of antigens required within the framework of their contingency plans.
(4) Following the assessment of the request made by the authorities of Australia and New Zealand and taking into account the capacity and availability of the quantities and subtypes of antigens stored in the Community antigen reserves, it appears that the requested assistance could be provided without unnecessarily compromising the Community contingency arrangements.
(5) Australia and New Zealand should be granted temporary access to the Community antigen reserves subject to certain conditions.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Australia and New Zealand are granted temporary access to the Community reserves of antigens for the formulation of vaccines against foot-and-mouth disease under the following conditions:
1. access shall be granted until 31 December 2004, in the form of drawing rights for each of the two countries concerned for a maximum of 500000 vaccine equivalent cattle doses and in any case for both countries together not more than 50 % of the existing stocks of each of the antigens in the Community reserves;
2. depending on the specification in the written request by the competent authorities of Australia or New Zealand, the Commission shall immediately arrange for the urgent or immediate formulation of the appropriate antigens and the production, bottling, labelling and delivery of the vaccines under the terms of existing contracts concluded between itself and the manufacturer;
3. the Commission shall make arrangements so as to ensure that in the event referred to in paragraph 2 the costs for the following actions are born in appropriate proportions by the competent authorities of Australia or New Zealand, whoever has requested the formulation into vaccines of antigens stored in the Community reserves:
(a) the transfer of antigens from the place of storage to the establishment of the manufacturer;
(b) the formulation and production of vaccines, including any additional testing that might prove necessary;
(c) the bottling and labelling of the vaccines and their transport to the indicated place of delivery;
(d) the replacement without delay of any used quantity of antigen by antigens of at least the same quality and origin.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 43, in conjunction with the first subparagraph of Article 228 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas the Convention on fishing and conservation of the living resources in the Baltic Sea and the Belts, signed in Gdansk on 13 September 1973, was amended by the Protocol to the Conference of the representatives of the State Parties to the Convention, signed in Warsaw on 11 November 1982;

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 July 2000 establishing a system for the identification and registration of bovine animals and regarding the labelling of beef and beef products and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 820/97 (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 6(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 (the Regulation) provides that a bovine animal shall be identified and issued with a passport to accompany them when they are moved.
(2) Article 6(3) of the Regulation provides that Member States, which have a computerised database which the Commission deems to be fully operational, may determine that a passport is to be issued only for animals intended for intra-Union trade and that those animals shall be accompanied by their passports only when they are moved from the territory of the Member State concerned to the territory of another Member State.
(3) Lithuania has presented the Commission a request for the recognition of the operational character of its bovine database. This database forms the basis of the Lithuanian system for the identification and registration of bovine animals.
(4) Lithuania submitted the necessary information which in particular confirms that its bovine database is compatible with Article 5 of the Regulation: (i) the delays in notification of events are highlighted in the database and thus the deadlines for notifications of animal movements set in the Regulation are respected; (ii) that passports of animals moved outside of Lithuania are subsequently surrendered to the competent authority on arrival; (iii) there is an interface between the national bovine database and the national Agriculture Payment Scheme database as well as with the national Veterinary Information Management System to facilitate reconciliation controls and the exchange of useful data; and (iv) guidelines are reinforced so that ear tags are issued and distributed in a correct manner and this information is available to the database.
(5) The Commission examined this information and considers it adequate to recognise the operational character of the database.
(6) In view of the above, it is appropriate to recognise the Lithuanian database for bovine animals as fully operational from 1 July 2011,
The Lithuanian database for bovine animals is recognised as fully operational from 1 July 2011.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Lithuania.

authorising Spain to extend for three years the application of a temporary measure excluding from compensatory aid marketed produce of new banana plantations planted on or after 1 June 2002
(notified under document number C(2005) 1605)
(Only the Spanish text is authentic)
(2005/410/EC)
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 organisation of the market in bananas (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 12(9) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under Article 12(9) of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 a Member State may be authorised to introduce a temporary measure whereby no compensatory aid is paid for marketed produce of new banana plantations when, in the Member State’s view, there is a risk to the sustainable development of the production areas, with particular reference to conservation of the environment, and protection of the soil and the characteristic features of the countryside.
(2) By Decision 2002/414/EC (2), the Commission authorised Spain to introduce a temporary measure excluding from compensatory aid marketed produce of new banana plantations planted on or after 1 June 2002 for a period of three years.
(3) On 15 April 2005, Spain requested the Commission to authorise it to extend, for a further three years, the measure excluding the Canary Islands from compensatory aid for marketed produce of new banana plantations planted on or after 1 June 2002. The reason given for this request is the need to consolidate the positive effects of the application of the measure implemented in June 2002, and in particular to discourage the development of new plantations outside traditional production areas, in order to protect the environment, particularly as regards the use of water resources, soil stability and the socioeconomic balance, and conservation of the characteristic features of the countryside.
(4) Examination of Spain’s request to extend the measure excluding produce from compensatory aid for a period of three years shows that it complies with the aim and the provisions of Article 12(9) of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93. This request should therefore be accepted.
(5) The measure provided for in this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Bananas,
Spain’s request to the Commission to extend, for a further three-year period, the measure excluding the produce of new banana plantations planted on or after 1 June 2002 from the compensatory aid referred to in Article 12(9) of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93, authorised by Decision 2002/414/EC, is hereby accepted.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Spain.

COMMISSION DECISION of 30 July 1997 on the clearance of the accounts of certain Member States' expenditure financed by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF), Guarantee Section, for the 1996 financial year (97/609/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1287/95 (2), and in particular Article 5 (2) (b) thereof,
After consulting the Fund Committee,
Whereas:
pursuant to Article 5 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70, the Commission, on the basis of the annual accounts submitted by the Member States, accompanied by the information required for clearance and a certificate regarding the veracity, completeness, and accuracy of the accounts transmitted, and reports drawn up by the certifying bodies, clears the accounts of the paying agencies referred to in Article 4 (1) of that Regulation;
with regard to Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 296/96 of 16 February 1996 on data to be forwarded by the Member States and the monthly booking of expenditure financed under the Guarantee Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2776/88 (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1391/97 (4), account is taken for the 1996 financial year of expenditure incurred by the Member States between 16 October 1995 and 15 October 1996;
the time limits granted to the Member States for the submission to the Commission of the documents referred to in Article 5 (1) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 and in Article 4 (1), (3) and (4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1663/95 of 7 July 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 regarding the procedure for the clearance of accounts of the EAGGF Guarantee Section (5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 896/97 (6), have expired;
the Commission has checked the information submitted and communicated to the Member States the results of its verifications with the necessary amendments;
under the first subparagraph of Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 1663/95, the accounts clearance decision referred to in Article 5 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 must determine, without prejudice to decisions taken subsequently in accordance with paragraph 2 (c) of that Article, the amount of expenditure effected in each Member State during the financial year in question recognized as being chargeable to the EAGGF Guarantee Section, on the basis of the accounts referred to in Article 5 (1) (b) of the abovementioned Regulation and the reductions and suspensions of advances for the financial year concerned, including the reductions referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 4 (3) of Regulation (EC) No 296/96; pursuant to Article 102 of the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 (7), as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom, ECSC) No 2335/95 (8), the outcome of the clearance decision, that is to say, any discrepancy which may occur between the total expenditure booked to the accounts for a financial year pursuant to Articles 100 and 101 and the total expenditure taken into consideration by the Commission in this Decision, is to be booked, under a single Article, as additional expenditure or a reduction in expenditure;
the accounts of certain paying agencies of the Member States concerning expenditure financed by the EAGGF Guarantee Section for the 1996 financial year which could not be cleared by Commission Decision 97/316/EC (9) were disjoined from that Decision; for these paying agencies, the annual accounts and the accompanying documents now permit the Commission to take a decision on the veracity, completeness, and accuracy of the accounts submitted; in the light of the verifications made, some of the accounts submitted do not totally fulfil those conditions; the expenditure concerned cannot therefore be recognized as chargeable to the EAGGF Guarantee Section; Annex I lists the amounts cleared for each paying agency;
the reductions and suspensions of advances for the 1996 financial year and the reductions referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 4 (3) of Regulation (EC) No 296/96 have already been taken into account in Decision 97/316/EC and therefore not the subject of this Decision; this Decision does not affect the validity, in particular, of the amounts recoverable from or payable to each Member State as set out in Annex III to Decision 97/316/EC;
the second subparagraph of Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 1663/95 lays down that the amounts which are recoverable from, or payable to, each Member State in accordance with Annex II to this Decision are to be deducted from, or added to, advances against expenditure from the second month following that in which the accounts clearance decision is taken;
in accordance with the final subparagraph of Article 5 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 and Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 1663/95, this Decision, adopted on the basis of accounting information, does not prejudice decisions taken subsequently by the Commission excluding from Community financing expenditure not effected in accordance with Community rules,
The accounts of the paying agencies of the Member States concerning expenditure financed by the EAGGF Guarantee Section in respect of the 1996 financial year cleared by this Decision are as shown in Annex I.
The amounts which are recoverable from, or payable to, each Member State in accordance with the present clearance of accounts are set out in Annex II to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Regulation (EC) No 1484/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council
of 27 June 2001
amending Council Regulation (EEC) No 3528/86 on the protection of the Community's forests against atmospheric pollution
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 175(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(2),
Having consulted the Committee of the Regions,
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty(3),
Whereas:
(1) The period of application of Regulation (EEC) No 3528/86(4) expired on 31 December 1996. The said Regulation was amended by Regulation (EC) No 307/97(5). In its judgment of 25 February 1999 in Joined Cases C-164/97 and C-165/97(6) the Court of Justice of the European Communities annulled Council Regulation (EC) No 307/97 but preserved its legal effects pending the adoption of a new Regulation which replaces the Regulation annulled. In order to guarantee legal certainty, the validity of the measures taken in application of the annulled Regulation should be ensured.
(2) Forests play an essential part in maintaining fundamental ecological balances, particularly as regards the soil, water resources, climate, fauna and flora. Those ecological balances are indispensable for sustainable agriculture and the management of rural areas.
(3) The importance of forests in the ecosystems of the Member States of the Community should be taken into account.
(4) The conservation of the forest ecosystems reflects economic, ecological and social concerns and contributes, in particular, towards safeguarding the social function of those working in agriculture and in rural areas.
(5) The Community and the Member States committed themselves at international level at the three pan-European Ministerial Conferences on the Protection of Forests in Europe, held in Strasbourg in 1990, in Helsinki in 1993 and in Lisbon in 1998, to continuous surveillance of forest damage. The Community scheme provided for by Regulation (EEC) No 3528/86 contributes to the fulfilment of this commitment.
(6) Results from the systematic survey network show obvious trends in spatial and temporal distribution of forest damage over the entire area of the Community.
(7) Plots for the intensive and continuous monitoring of forest ecosystems have been set up by the Member States. A continuation of this monitoring activity over a longer period will improve understanding of the causal relationship between changes in forest ecosystems and the factors influencing them.
(8) Damage caused to forests by various factors, especially atmospheric pollution and certain unfavourable meteorological factors, hampers the development of sustainable agricultural activity and the management of rural areas.
(9) The protection of forests against atmospheric pollution and other unfavourable meteorological factors therefore contributes directly to the achievement of the aims set out in Article 33(1)(b) of the Treaty.
(10) Consequently the scheme provided for by Regulation (EEC) No 3528/86 should be continued and its duration extended for five years, its period of application thereby being extended to 15 years as from 1 January 1987.
(11) The measures necessary for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 3528/86 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(7).
(12) This Regulation establishes for the entire duration of the measure a financial framework which is to be the principal point of reference, within the meaning of point 33 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 6 May 1999 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and improvement of the budgetary procedure(8), for the budgetary authority under the annual budgetary procedure.
(13) Regulation (EEC) No 3528/86 should accordingly be amended,
Regulation (EEC) No 3528/86 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Articles 7, 8 and 9 shall be replaced by Articles 7 and 8 as follows: "Article 7
1. The Commission shall be assisted by the Standing Forestry Committee (hereinafter referred to as 'the Committee').
2. Where reference is made to this paragraph, Articles 3 and 7 of Decision 1999/468/EC shall apply, having regard to the provisions of Article 8 thereof.

The period provided for in Article 5(6) of Decision 1999/468/EC shall be set at three months.
4. The Committee shall adopt its rules of procedure.
1. The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation relating to the matters referred to below shall be adopted in accordance with the advisory procedure referred to in Article 7(2):
(a) the periodic reports referred to in Article 3;
(b) the experiments and projects referred to in Article 4, before any Commission decision on their financing;
(c) the development of the coordination and monitoring activities referred to in Article 5;
(d) the establishment of a programme for the synoptic processing of information on knowledge of atmospheric pollution in woodland and its effects.
In accordance with the same procedure the Committee may examine any other question within the scope of this Regulation.
2. The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation relating to the matters referred to below shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure referred to in Article 7(3):
(a) the detailed rules for the implementation of Article 2 and in particular those relating to the gathering, type, comparability and transmission of the data collected;
(b) the detailed rules for implementing Article 3;
(c) the detailed rules and criteria for implementing Article 4."
2. Article 11 shall be replaced by the following: "Article 11
1. The scheme shall run for 15 years from 1 January 1987.
2. The financial allocation for the implementation of the scheme shall be EUR 35,1 million for the period 1997 to 2001.
Annual appropriations shall be authorised by the budgetary authority within the limits of the financial perspective.
3. Before expiry of the period referred to in paragraph 1, the Commission shall submit to the European Parliament and to the Council a report on the application of this Regulation and a proposal for revision covering in particular the ecological, economic and social aspects (qualitative assessment) and the results of a cost-benefit analysis (quantitative assessment)."
3. In Article 2(3), Article 3(2) and Article 4(4) the words "procedure provided for in Article 7" or "procedure laid down in Article 7" shall be replaced by "procedure provided for in Article 7(3)".
4. In Article 4a(3) the words "procedure laid down in Article 8" shall be replaced by "procedure laid down in Article 7(2).".
Any reference to a measure taken in application of Regulation (EC) No 307/97 shall be taken as a reference to a measure taken in application of this Regulation from the day of the latter's entry into force.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that 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.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 of 18 December 1986 on Community measures to improve and adapt structures in the fisheries and aquaculture sector (1), and in particular Article 32 (1) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 163/89 (2) provides for the establishment of a register of Community fishing vessels with the assistance of the Member States;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 163/89 requires the Member States to provide any information concerning their fishing fleets which may be necessary for establishing the register of Community fishing vessels;

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3093/94 of 15 December 1994 on substances that deplete the ozone layer (1), and in particular to Articles 4(8) and 7(2) thereof,
Whereas Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3093/94 states that without prejudice to Article 4(8) and unless the substances are intended for destruction by a technology approved by the Parties, for feedstock use in the manufacture of other chemicals or for quarantine and pre-shipment, the release for free circulation in the Community of controlled substances imported from third countries shall be subject to quantitative limits;
Whereas the quantitative limits for the release into free circulation in the Community of controlled substances are set out in Annex II and Article 4(8) of Regulation (EC) No 3093/94; whereas these limits may be modified pursuant to Article 7(3);
Whereas any modification of these quantitative limits may not lead to Community consumption of controlled substances exceeding the quantitative limits established according to the Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the ozone layer;
Whereas Article 4(8) of Regulation (EC) No 3093/94 defines the total calculated level of hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) which producers and importers may place on the market or use for their own account in the period 1 January to 31 December 1995 and in each 12-month period thereafter; whereas this corresponds to a quantity of 8 079 ODP tonnes;
Whereas the Commission is required, under Article 4(8), in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 16, to assign a quota to each producer or importer when the total quantity of HCFCs which producers and importers place on the market or use for their own account reaches 80% of the quantitative limit established or at the latest on 1 January 2000, whichever comes first;
Whereas the 80% threshold has been reached in the year 1997; whereas it is likely that this will also be the case in 1998 making it necessary to assign placing on the market quotas for HCFCs for 1998;
Whereas the Commission is required under Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 3093/94 to allocate quotas for controlled substances to undertakings each year in accordance with the procedure set out in Article 16;
Whereas the Commission has published a notice to importers in the European Community of controlled substances that deplete the ozone layer (2) and has thereby received applications for import quotas;
Whereas the applications for import quotas of the chlorofluorocarbons 11, 12, 113, 114 and 115 and halons exceed the import quotas available under Article 7(2); therefore the Commission cannot satisfy the applications;
Whereas some of the applications from the producers of ODS in the Community have been made for specific contingency purposes of possible breakdown of production, technical failure and non-availability of the substances in the Community; whereas requests by a producer to import under a contingency quota can only be considered following interruption to normal supply and non-availability of the substances within the Community;
Whereas the allocation of individual quotas to producers and importers is based on the principles of continuity, equality and proportionality; whereas, in establishing quotas, the Commission has been guided by the need to reduce further the production, import and use of substances which damage the ozone layer while interfering in the market as little as possible;
Whereas it is appropriate to retain part of the total HCFC placing on the market quota for allocation to importers in the Community who are not engaged in the production of HCFCs; whereas, in 1996, the level of imports by non-producers reached about 3% of the total quota available; whereas the 1997 level is likely to be similar; whereas it is therefore appropriate in 1998 to retain 4% of the total quota for allocation to importers who are not engaged in the production of HCFCs; whereas this corresponds to a quantity of 323 ODP tonnes;
Whereas the HCFC placing on the market quota for each producer in the Community in 1998 shall reflect the market share which that producer reached in 1996, calculated in ODP tonnes; whereas it is appropriate to take 1996 as a base-year, which is the latest year for which data are available, in order to reflect most closely recent market activity by each producer; whereas it is considered appropriate to allocate the total available HCFC quantity of 7 756 ODP tonnes between producers without leaving a reserve;
Whereas for methyl bromide the import quotas are allocated to the primary importers, considered by the Commission to be the importers who deal directly by way of invoicing with the producers outside the Community; whereas a reserve of 100,5 ODP tonnes of methyl bromide is retained for allocation during 1998 in accordance with the Article 16 procedure;
Whereas import licences shall be issued by the Commission in accordance with Article 6 of the aforesaid Regulation, after verification of compliance by the importer with Articles 7, 8 and 12;
Whereas the release for free circulation in the Community of chlorofluorocarbons 11, 12, 113, 114 and 115, other fully halogenated chlorofluorocarbons, halons, carbon tetrachloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane and hydrobromofluorocarbons imported from any State not party is prohibited in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 3093/94;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the committee established by Article 16 of the same Regulation,
1. The quantity of chlorofluorocarbons 11, 12, 113, 114 and 115 subject to Regulation (EC) No 3093/94 which may be released for free circulation in the European Community in 1998 from sources outside the Community shall be 0 ODP weighted tonnes.

Whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research ; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities ; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus ; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus,
The apparatus described as "TSI-LDA Burst Processor, System 1980" is not considered to be a scientific apparatus.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 1997 concerning novel foods and novel food ingredients (1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 19 August 2004 the company Unilever Deutschland GmbH made a request to the competent authorities of Germany to place allanblackia seed oil for use in yellow fat and cream based spreads on the market as a novel food ingredient.
(2) On 3 April 2006 the competent food assessment body of Germany issued its initial assessment report. In that report it came to the conclusion that allanblackia seed oil is safe for human consumption.
(3) The Commission forwarded the initial assessment report to all Member States on 8 June 2006.
(4) Within the 60-day period laid down in Article 6(4) of Regulation (EC) No 258/97 reasoned objections to the marketing of the product were raised in accordance with that provision.
(5) Therefore the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) was consulted on 7 February 2007.
(6) On 25 October 2007 EFSA adopted the ‘Opinion of the Scientific Panel on dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies on a request from the Commission related to the safety of allanblackia seed oil for use in yellow fat and cream based spreads’.
(7) In the opinion the panel came to the conclusion that refined allanblackia seed oil is safe for human consumption under the specified conditions of use.
(8) On the basis of the scientific assessment, it is established that refined allanblackia seed oil complies with the criteria laid down in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 258/97.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Refined allanblackia seed oil as specified in the Annex may be placed on the market in the Community as a novel food ingredient for use in yellow fat spreads and cream based spreads.
The designation of the novel food ingredient authorised by this Decision on the labelling of the foodstuff containing it shall be ‘allanblackia seed oil’.
This Decision is addressed to Unilever Deutschland GmbH, Dammtorwall 15, D-20355 Hamburg.

setting the export refunds for nuts (shelled almonds, hazelnuts in shell, shelled hazelnuts and walnuts in shell) using system A1
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 35(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001 (2) sets detailed rules covering export refunds on fruit and vegetables.
(2) Under Article 35(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 refunds can be granted on products exported by the Community, to the extent necessary to enable economically significant quantities to be exported and within the limits ensuing from agreements concluded in line with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(3) In line with Article 35(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 care should be taken to ensure that trade flows already engendered by the granting of refunds are not disturbed. For that reason and given the seasonal nature of fruit and vegetable exports quantities should be set product by product using the agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (3). In setting quantities account must be taken of perishability.
(4) Article 35(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 stipulates that when refunds are set account is to be taken of the existing situation and outlook for prices and availability of fruit and vegetables on the Community market and for international trade prices, of marketing and transport costs and of the economic aspects of the exportation envisaged.
(5) Article 35(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 requires Community market prices to be determined using the prices that are most favourable from the point of view of exportation.
(6) The international trade situation or specific requirements of certain markets may necessitate differentiation of the refund on a given product by destination.
(7) Economically significant exports can at present be made of shelled almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts in shell.
(8) Since nuts have a relatively long storage life export refunds can be set at longer intervals.
(9) In order to permit the best possible use of available resources the export refunds should, given the structure of exportation from the Community, be set using system A1.
(10) The negotiations within the framework of the Europe Agreements between the European Community and Romania and Bulgaria aim in particular to liberalise trade in products covered by the common organisation of the market concerned. For these two countries export refunds should therefore be abolished.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
1. Export refund rates for nuts, the period for lodging licence applications and the quantities permitted are stipulated in the Annex hereto.
2. Licences for food aid purposes issued as indicated in Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 (4) shall not be counted against the quantities indicated in the Annex hereto.
3. Without prejudice to Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001, the type A1 licences shall be valid for three months.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 24 June 2006.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 616/2007 of 4 June 2007 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for poultrymeat originating in Brazil, Thailand and other third countries (3), and in particular Article 5(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 616/2007 opened tariff quotas for imports of products in the poultrymeat sector.
(2) The applications for import licences lodged during the first seven days of January 2008 for the subperiod 1 April to 30 June 2008 relate, for some quotas, to quantities exceeding those available. The extent to which licences may be issued should therefore be determined and an allocation coefficient laid down to be applied to the quantities applied for,
The quantities for which import licence applications have been lodged pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 616/2007 for the subperiod 1 April to 30 June 2008 shall be multiplied by the allocation coefficients set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 802/2005
of 26 May 2005
fixing the export refunds on white sugar and raw sugar exported in its unaltered state
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that when refunds on white and raw sugar, undenatured and exported in its unaltered state, are being fixed account must be taken of the situation on the Community and world markets in sugar and in particular of the price and cost factors set out in Article 28 of that Regulation. The same Article provides that the economic aspect of the proposed exports should also be taken into account.
(3) The refund on raw sugar must be fixed in respect of the standard quality. The latter is defined in Annex I, point II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Furthermore, this refund should be fixed in accordance with Article 28(4) of that Regulation. Candy sugar is defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector (2). The refund thus calculated for sugar containing added flavouring or colouring matter must apply to their sucrose content and, accordingly, be fixed per 1 % of the said content.
(4) In special cases, the amount of the refund may be fixed by other legal instruments.
(5) The refund must be fixed every two weeks. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(6) The first subparagraph of Article 27(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that refunds on the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation may vary according to destination, where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The significant and rapid increase in preferential imports of sugar from the western Balkan countries since the start of 2001 and in exports of sugar to those countries from the Community seems to be highly artificial.
(8) To prevent any abuse through the re-import into the Community of sugar products in receipt of an export refund, no refund should be set for all the countries of the western Balkans for the products covered by this Regulation.
(9) In view of the above and of the present situation on the market in sugar, and in particular of the quotations or prices for sugar within the Community and on the world market, refunds should be set at the appropriate amounts.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, undenatured and exported in the natural state, are hereby fixed to the amounts shown in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 27 May 2005.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas, according to the information provided by the Member States, the intervention measures taken within the Community for 1992/93 concerned 1 776 951 tonnes in the case of oranges; whereas the Commission has established therefore that the intervention thresholds for this marketing year have been exceeded by 597 551 tonnes in the case of oranges;
Whereas in consequence of the above the basic and the buying-in prices for oranges for the 1993/94 marketing year fixed by Regulation (EEC) No 1289/93 must be reduced by 15 %; whereas this reduction is to be added to that resulting from the monetary realignments of the 1992/93 marketing year; whereas the total reduction amounts to 15,88 %;

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), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1638/98(2), and in particular Article 5(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 5(4) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC grants the Member States the possibility of allocating part of their national guaranteed quantities and of their olive oil production aid to support for table olives on conditions to be approved by the Commission in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 38 of the said Regulation;
(2) France has presented a request in respect of the 1999/2000 marketing year and detailed rules should be laid down for the granting of the aid;
(3) provision should be made for the aid to be granted to growers of processed table olives from olive groves in France and the conditions governing the granting of the aid should be specified;
(4) the processing period should be defined as running from 1 September 1999 to 31 August 2000. Olives which have undergone initial treatment in brine lasting at least 15 days and have been removed from the brine definitively or failing that have undergone treatment making them fit for human consumption should be deemed to be processed olives;
(5) the weight of processed table olives for which aid is payable and the equivalence between processed table olives and olive oil should be determined for the purposes of calculating the unit aid for table olives and of administering the national guaranteed quantities;
(6) undertakings processing table olives must be approved in accordance with conditions to be determined. Account should be taken of the fact that processing undertakings located within the area covered by a registered designation of origin must maintain stock records, irrespective of the type of olives processed;
(7) provisions should be laid down for checks on aid for table olives. Those provisions must in particular cover crop declarations by table olive growers, notifications by processors of the quantities of olives delivered by growers and leaving the processing chain, and the obligations on paying agencies regarding controls. Provision should be made for penalties on table olive growers where their declarations conflict with the results of checks;
(8) the information needed for calculating the aid to be granted to growers of processed table olives should be determined. An advance on the aid may be granted on certain conditions;
(9) France must notify the Commission of the national measures adopted for the purposes of applying this Decision and of the information used for calculating the advance on the aid and the definitive aid;
(10) the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for oils and fats,
For the 1999/2000 olive oil marketing year, France is authorised to grant aid for the production of table olives in accordance with this Decision.
1. Aid for the production of table olives shall be granted to growers of olives which come from olive groves in France and are sent to approved processing undertakings for processing into table olives.
2. For the 1999/2000 olive oil marketing year, aid shall be granted for table olives processed between 1 September 1999 and 31 August 2000.
3. Within the meaning of this Decision, "processed table olives" means olives that have undergone for at least 15 days initial treatment in brine and have been removed from the brine definitively or failing that have undergone treatment making them fit for human consumption.
1. For the purposes of calculating the unit aid for table olives and of administering the national guaranteed quantities of olive oil, 100 kg of processed table olives shall be deemed to be equivalent to 13 kg of olive oil eligible for production aid as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC.
2. The weight of processed table olives to be taken into consideration shall be the drained net weight of whole olives after processing, possibly bruised but not stoned.
1. Approval numbers shall be allocated to undertakings which:
- submit an application for approval by 31 October 1999, accompanied by the information referred to in paragraph 2 and the commitments referred to in paragraph 3,

(c) the quantities of table olives for which the process of preparation has been completed;
(d) the quantities of table olives leaving the undertaking, broken down by form of preparation and indicating the consignees,
- provide the grower as referred to in Article 2(1) and the competent body with the documents and the information referred to in Article 6 in accordance with the conditions laid down therein,
- submit to all checks provided for under this Decision.
4. Approval shall be refused or immediately withdrawn where undertakings:
- fail to comply or no longer comply with the conditions for approval, or
- are prosecuted by the competent authorities for irregularities in respect of the arrangements provided for in Regulation No 136/66/EEC, or
- have been penalised for an infringement to that Regulation within the past 24 months.
5. Before final approval is granted, an on-site inspection of the facilities shall be carried out in order to verify the information submitted by the undertaking.
For the purposes of granting the aid for the production of table olives, by 31 December 1999 growers shall lodge a crop attestation confirming that the declaration laid down for olive oil production aid also covers table olives or, as appropriate, a new declaration containing the same information as the crop declaration for olive oil but referring to table olives.
Where the information concerned has already been furnished by a crop declaration for olive oil and has not been subject to modification, the supplementary declaration shall simply indicate the references to the crop declaration and the parcels concerned.
The declarations concerning table olives shall be included in the alphanumeric database provided for in connection with the aid scheme for olive oil production.
1. During the month following delivery of the final consignment of olives and no later than 30 June 2000, approved undertakings shall issue growers as referred to in Article 2(1) with a certificate of delivery showing the net weight of olives entering the undertaking.
The certificate must be supported by all the documentation relating to the weight of the consignments of olives delivered.
2. Approved undertakings shall notify the competent body and the control agency:
(a) by the tenth day of each quarter, of:
- the quantities of olives received, sent for processing and processed within the meaning of Article 2(3) in the course of the previous quarter,
- the quantities of olives prepared and sent out, broken down by form of preparation, in the course of the previous quarter,
- the aggregate quantities referred to in the first two indents and the stock situation at the end of the previous quarter;
(b) before 1 July 2000, of the names of growers as referred to in Article 2(1) for the processing period referred to in Article 2(2) and of the quantities covered by certificates issued to them in accordance with paragraph 1;
(c) before 1 June 2001, of the total quantities delivered for the processing period referred to in Article 2(2) and of the corresponding total quantities processed.

Such applications shall be accompanied by certificates of delivery as referred to in Article 6(1).
Where applicable, applications may be accompanied by an application for an advance on the aid.
2. Applications lodged after the deadline shall incur a penalty consisting of a reduction of 1 % of the amount to which the grower would have been entitled had the application been lodged by the due date, for each working day of delay. Applications lodged more than 25 working days late shall be refused.
1. Before the definitive payment of the aid, the competent body shall carry out the controls required to check:
- the quantities of table olives covered by certificates of delivery,
- the quantities of table olives processed, broken down by grower.
Controls shall involve:
- several physical inspections of goods in stock and a check of the accounts of approved undertakings,
- stricter checks of aid applications from olive growers applying for aid for both table olives and olive oil.
2. France shall see that all the necessary controls are in place to ensure that:
- entitlement to table olive production aid is respected,
- olives entering an undertaking approved under this Decision are excluded from eligibility for olive oil production aid,
- no more than one aid application is lodged for the same olives.
3. Without prejudice to the penalties laid down by France, no aid shall be granted to growers as referred to in Article 2(1) whose declarations as provided for in Article 5 or whose aid applications in accordance with Article 7 proves to conflict with the results of checks. However, Article 15 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2366/98(3) shall apply mutatis mutandis.
1. Growers as referred to in Article 2(1) may receive an advance on the aid requested. The advance shall be equal to the unit amount referred to in Article 17a(1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84(4), multiplied by the quantity of olive oil equivalent, in accordance with Article 3(1) of this Decision, to the relevant quantity of table olives processed.
For the purposes of granting advances to growers, the quantity of table olives processed shall be determined by applying a provisional processing coefficient to the quantity appearing in the certificate of delivery, as confirmed by the other information notified to the competent body. That coefficient shall be established by the competent body on the basis of the data available on the approved undertaking concerned. However, the quantity of table olives taken into consideration may not exceed 90 % of the quantity of table olives delivered.
2. Advances on the aid shall be paid from 16 October 2000 to growers applying therefor in accordance with Article 7(1).
0
1. Without prejudice to the reductions provided for in Article 20d of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, the aid shall be equal to the unit amount referred to in Article 17a(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 multiplied by the quantity of olive oil equivalent, in accordance with Article 3(1) of this Decision, to the relevant quantity of table olives processed.
For the purposes of granting the aid to growers as referred to in Article 2(1), the quantity of table olives processed shall be determined by applying a processing coefficient for the undertaking concerned to the quantity appearing in the certificate of delivery, as confirmed by the other information notified to the competent body. That coefficient shall be equal to the ratio between the total quantity of table olives processed on the one hand, and the total quantity of table olives covered by certificates of delivery on the other hand, in respect of the olive oil marketing year concerned.
Where the quantity of processed olives corresponding to the aid as set out in the certificate of delivery cannot be established, the quantities of table olives processed for the growers concerned shall be calculated using the average coefficient for the other undertakings. However, without prejudice to any claims which the olive growers concerned might make against the undertaking, that quantity of processed olives may not exceed 75 % of the quantity shown in the certificate of delivery.
2. Once the controls referred to in Article 8 have been carried out, the aid or, where applicable, the balance of the aid shall be paid to the grower in full within 90 days of the Commission fixing the unit amount thereof.
1
France shall notify the Commission:
- without delay, of the national measures taken pursuant to this Decision,
- before 1 August 2000, of the quantities of olive oil equivalent to the estimated output of table olives processed and of the provisional processing coefficients for that estimate,
- before 16 June 2001, of the quantities of olive oil equivalent to the actual output of table olives processed and of the processing coefficients adopted.

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), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2026/97 of 6 October 1997 on protection against subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Community(2), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE
(1) On 31 August 1996, by means of two separate notices published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, the Commission announced the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding(3) and an anti-subsidy proceeding(4) in respect of imports of farmed Atlantic salmon (the product concerned) originating in Norway.
(2) These proceedings resulted in anti-dumping and countervailing duties being imposed in September 1997 by Council Regulations (EC) No 1890/97(5) and No 1891/97(6) in order to eliminate the injurious effects of dumping and subsidisation.
(3) In parallel to this, by Decision 97/634/EC of 26 September 1997 accepting undertakings offered in connection with the anti-dumping and anti-subsidy proceedings concerning imports of farmed Atlantic salmon originating in Norway(7), the Commission accepted undertakings from 190 Norwegian exporters and imports of the product concerned exported to the Community by these companies were exempted from the said anti-dumping and countervailing duties.
(4) The form of the duties was later reviewed and Regulations (EC) No 1890/97 and No 1891/97 were replaced by Regulation (EC) No 772/1999(8).
B. NEW EXPORTERS, CHANGES OF NAME AND VOLUNTARY WITHDRAWAL OF AN UNDERTAKING
(5) Three Norwegian companies, Vestmar AS, Gaia Seafood AS and Polar Quality AS claimed that they are "new exporters" within the meaning of Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 772/1999 in conjunction with Article 11(4) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 and Article 20 of Regulation (EC) No 2026/97 and have offered undertakings identical to those previously accepted from other Norwegian companies. Having investigated the matter, it was established that the applicants fulfilled the conditions for being considered as new exporters and, accordingly, the undertakings offered have been accepted by the Commission. The exemption to the anti-dumping and countervailing duties should therefore be extended to these companies.
(6) One Norwegian exporter, Arctic Group International, with an undertaking advised the Commission that the group of companies to which it belonged had been re-organised and that another company within the group, Arctic Group Maritime AS, was now responsible for exports to the Community. The company therefore requested that its name be changed on the list of companies from which undertakings are accepted in the Annex to Decision 97/634/EC and on the list of companies which benefit from an exemption to the anti-dumping and countervailing duties in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 772/1999.
(7) Another company, Fjord Seafood Midt-Norge AS, with an undertaking advised the Commission that its name had changed to Fjord Seafood Norway AS and, in, addition, that a company within the same group, Fjord Seafood Måløy, also with an undertaking, had merged with it. It was therefore requested that the new name of the company appear on the above mentioned lists and, as a separate undertaking was no longer appropriate, that the name of the related company, Fjord Seafood Måløy, be deleted.
(8) It is considered after verification that the requests are acceptable since the modifications do not entail any substantive changes which would affect the assessment of dumping or subsidisation, nor do they affect any of the considerations on which the acceptance of the undertakings was based. Consequently, the names of Arctic Group International and Fjord Seafood Midt-Norge AS should be changed to Arctic Group Maritime AS and Fjord Seafood Norway AS respectively on the list of companies from which undertakings are accepted in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 772/1999 and the name of Fjord Seafood Måløy AS deleted from that list.
(9) Another Norwegian company, Timar Seafood AS, advised the Commission that it wished to withdraw its undertaking. Accordingly, the name of this company should be deleted from the list of companies from which undertakings are accepted in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 772/1999.
C. AMENDMENT OF THE ANNEX TO REGULATION (EC) No 772/1999
(10) In view of all the above, the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 772/1999 which lists the companies exempted from the anti-dumping and countervailing duties should be amended accordingly,
The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 772/1999 shall be replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation.
1. (a) Definitive countervailing and anti-dumping duties are hereby imposed on imports of farmed (other than wild) Atlantic salmon falling within CN codes ex 0302 12 00 (TARIC codes: 0302 12 00 21, 0302 12 00 22, 0302 12 00 23 and 0302 12 00 29 ), ex 0303 22 00 (TARIC codes: 0303 22 00 21, 0303 22 00 22, 0303 22 00 23 and 0303 22 00 29 ), ex 0304 10 13 (TARIC codes: 0304 10 13 21 and 0304 10 13 29 ) and ex 0304 20 13 (TARIC codes: 0304 20 13 21 and 0304 20 13 29 ) originating in Norway and exported by Fjord Seafood Måløy AS and Timar Seafood AS.
(b) These duties shall not apply to wild Atlantic salmon (TARIC codes: 0302 12 00 11, 0304 10 13 11, 0303 22 00 11 and 0304 20 13 11 ). For the purpose of this Regulation, wild salmon shall be that in respect of which the competent authorities of the Member States of landing are satisfied, by means of all customs and transport documents to be provided by interested parties, that it was caught at sea.
2. (a) The rate of the countervailing duty applicable to the net free-at-Community frontier price, before duty, shall be 3,8 %.
(b) The rate of the anti-dumping duty applicable to the net free-at-Community frontier price, before duty, shall be EUR 0,32 per kilogram net product weight. However, if the free-at-Community-frontier price, including the countervailing and anti-dumping duties, is less than the relevant Minimum Price set out in paragraph 3, the anti-dumping duty to be collected shall be the difference between that Minimum Price and the free-at-Community-frontier price, including the countervailing duty.
3. For the purpose of paragraph 2, the following minimum prices shall apply per kilogram net product weight:

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from third countries (1), as last amended by Directive 83/91/EEC (2), and in particular Articles 4 (1), 17 and 18 (1) (a) and (b) thereof,
Whereas establishments in third countries cannot be authorized to export fresh meat to the Community unless they satisfy the general and special conditions laid down in Directive 72/462/EEC;
Whereas Iceland has forwarded, in accordance with Article 4 (3) of Directive 72/462/EEC, a list of establishments authorized to export to the Community;
Whereas Community on-the-spot visits have shown that the hygiene standards of three of these establishments are sufficient and they may therefore be entered on a first list, established according to Article 4 (1) of the said Directive, of establishments from which importation of fresh meat may be authorized;
Whereas the case of the other establishments proposed by Iceland has to be re-examined on the basis of additional information regarding their hygiene standards and their ability to adapt quickly to the Community legislation;
Whereas, in the meantime and so as to avoid any abrupt interruption of existing trade flows, these establishments may be authorized temporarily to continue their exports of fresh meat to those Member States prepared to accept them;
Whereas it will therefore be necessary to re-examine and, if necessary, amend this Decision in the light of measures taken to this end and improvements made;
Whereas the conditions of importation of fresh meat from establishments appearing on the list annexed to this Decision remain subject to the Community veterinary provisions laid down elsewhere and to the general provisions of the Treaty; whereas, in particular, importation from third countries and re-exportation to other Member States of certain categories of meat, such as meat weighing less than 3 kilograms, or meat containing residues of certain substances which are not yet covered by harmonized Community rules, remain subject to the health legislation of the importing Member State;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
1. The establishments in Iceland listed in the Annex are hereby approved for the import of fresh meat into the Community in accordance with the said Annex.
2. Imports from the establishments referred to in paragraph 1 shall remain subject to the Community veterinary provisions laid down elsewhere, and in particular those concerning health protection requirements.
1. Without prejudice to the provisions of paragraph 2, Member States shall prohibit imports of fresh meat coming from establishments other than those listed in the Annex.
2. Member States may continue to authorize, until 31 August 1984, imports of fresh meat coming from establishments which are not listed in the Annex but which have been officially approved and proposed by the Icelandic authorities as of 1 October 1983 pursuant to Article 4 (3) of Directive 72/462/EEC, unless a decision is taken to the contrary, in accordance with Article 4 (1) of the abovementioned Directive, before 1 September 1984.
The Commission shall forward the list of these establishments to the Member States.
This Decision shall apply from 1 February 1984.
This Decision shall be reviewed and if necessary amended before 1 December 1984.
