Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.
(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of the preparation set out in the Annex to this Regulation. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) The application concerns authorisation of the preparation selenomethionine produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-3399 as a feed additive for all species, to be classified in the additive category ‘nutritional additives’.
(4) The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinion of 5 March 2009 (2) that selenium enriched yeast, mainly selenomethionine, from Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-3399 does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment and the use of that preparation can be considered as a source of bio-available selenium and fulfils the criteria of a nutritional additive for all species. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verifies the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5) The assessment of that preparation shows that the conditions for authorisation, provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised, as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘nutritional additives’ and to the functional group ‘compounds of trace elements’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

| Council Decision
of 23 October 2000
extending the period of application of Decision 82/530/EEC authorising the United Kingdom to permit the Isle of Man authorities to apply a system of special import licences to sheepmeat and beef and veal
(2000/665/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Protocol 3 to the 1972 Act of Accession, and in particular Article 1(2) and the second subparagraph of Article 5 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Community rules concerning trade with third countries in agricultural products subject to a common organisation of the market apply to the Isle of Man in accordance with Article 1(2) of Protocol 3 to the Act of Accession and with Council Regulation (EEC) No 706/73 of 12 March 1973 concerning the Community arrangements applicable to the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man for trade in agricultural products(1).
(2) Livestock production is a traditional activity in the Isle of Man and plays a central part in the Island's agriculture.
(3) Before the introduction of the common organisation of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat within the Community, the Isle of Man, as part of its local market organisation, applied certain mechanisms to control imports of sheepmeat into the Island in order to ensure that the need to supply the requirements of the trade could be met whilst avoiding distortions in the pattern of sheep production and, indirectly, in cattle production on the Island and in its own agricultural support system.
(4) In the context of the trade arrangements with certain third countries pursuant to the common organisation of the market applicable to the Isle of Man, subject to the Community provisions which governed the relationship between the Island and the Community, it was desirable to permit the Island authorities to apply certain measures in order to protect its own production and the working of its own agricultural support system.
(5) Therefore, Council Decision 82/530/EEC(2) authorised the United Kingdom to permit the Isle of Man Government to apply a system of special licences for imports of sheepmeat and beef and veal originating in third countries and in Member States of the Community, without prejudice to the measures concerning trade with third countries provided for by Council Regulations (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal(3) and (EC) No 2467/98 of 3 November 1998 on the common organisation of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat(4). This authorisation was granted for a period ending on 31 December 2000.
(6) Under the Agreement on Agriculture concluded in the framework of the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations(5), the Community replaced the special trade arrangements with third countries on imports of products in the sheep and beef sector by a system of quotas. However, it is desirable in the light of experience gained during the application of Decision 82/530/EEC to extend the system of special import licences for a further period with the possibility of further reviewing the situation before the end of that period and without prejudice to the international obligations of the Community. Article 2 of Decision 82/530/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly,
Article 2 of Decision 82/530/EEC is hereby replaced by the following:
"Article 2
This Decision shall apply until 31 December 2005.
Before 1 July 2005 the Commission shall present to the Council a report on the application of the system, together with any proposals for the retention of, or amendment to, this Decision."

(2) In the light of the tenders received in response to each individual invitation to tender a minimum selling price shall be fixed or a decision shall be taken to make no award, in accordance with Article 24a of Regulation (EC) No 2771/1999.
(3) In the light of the tenders received, a minimum selling price should be fixed.

of 12 March 2001
concerning a set of actions relating to the trans-European network for the collection, production and dissemination of statistics on the trading of goods within the Community and between the Community and non-member countries (Edicom)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 285 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty(2),
Whereas:
(1) The actions implemented pursuant to Council Decision 96/715/EC of 9 December 1996 on inter-administration telematic networks for statistics relating to the trading of goods between Member States (Edicom)(3) have made it possible to improve considerably the quality of intra-Community statistics.
(2) Statistics for foreign trade and for trade within the Community are entering a new phase of development, characterised by growing and increasingly demanding user need for information.
(3) It is necessary to meet the urgent need of the Economic and Monetary Union by the rapid provision of reliable and accurate macroeconomic statistics.
(4) The modernisation of the trans-European network for the collection, production and dissemination of statistics on the trading of goods within the Community and between the Community and non-member countries should be a driving force in the development of these statistics.
(5) Council Regulation (EEC) No 3330/91 of 7 November 1991 on the statistics relating to the trading of goods between Member States(4) (Intrastat) and Council Regulation (EC) No 1172/95 of 22 May 1995 on the statistics relating to the trading of goods by the Community and its Member States with non-member countries(5) provide for increased use of automatic processing and electronic data transmission.
(6) Simplification of the Intrastat system was a pilot project in the SLIM ("Simpler Legislation for the Internal Market") initiative launched in 1996; the measures for reducing the workload on statistical information providers, in particular SMEs, which have been approved by the European Parliament and the Council, should be continued.
(7) The objectives of this Decision are adequate and compatible with those of Decisions No 1719/1999/EC(6) and No 1720/1999/EC(7) of the European Parliament and the Council on trans-European networks for the electronic interchange of data between administrations (IDA); account should also be taken of IDA decisions, in particular Article 11 of Decision No 1719/1999/EC, in implementing this Decision.
(8) An ex-ante evaluation has been performed in accordance with the financial management rules, in order to focus the programme on the need for effectiveness in achieving the objectives and to incorporate budgetary constraints from the design phase of the programme onwards.
(9) Since the objectives of the proposed action, namely the development and modernisation of the trans-European network for the collection, processing and dissemination of intra- and extra-Community trade statistics, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore, by reason of their scale, be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Decision does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives.
(10) Council Regulation (EC) No 322/97 of 17 February 1997 on Community statistics(8) provides the regulatory framework for the provisions of this Decision, particularly those relating to access to administrative data sources, statistical confidentiality and the principle of cost-effectiveness.
(11) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Decision should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission(9).
(12) This Decision establishes a financial framework for the entire duration of the programme which is to be the principal point of reference for the budgetary authority, 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(10),
Field of application and general objectives

2. The general objectives are as follows:
(a) to encourage the organisation of the network referred to in paragraph 1 in the most modern, rational and effective manner possible and to adopt measures necessary for improving and harmonising the methods used, in order to produce statistics which:
- are more reliable and less expensive for the information providers and administrations, and become available more quickly;
- better satisfy the existing and future expectations of users;
(b) further to develop existing computer tools for the collection, production, transmission and dissemination of statistical data, taking into account the latest technological advances and seeking to optimise cost-effectiveness.
Actions
1. To achieve the objectives referred to in Article 1, a set of actions (known as the "Edicom" programme) shall be implemented for:
(a) the development of the network referred to in Article 1(1) in order to:

- produce statistical information that is relevant and appropriate to the new needs of users within the framework of Economic and Monetary Union and the changing international economic environment;
- incorporate statistics on the trading of goods more effectively into the general statistical system at Community and international level and adapt them to changes in the administrative environment;
- improve the service offered to administrations, suppliers and users of information, by providing them with all the available statistics and metadata relating to the trading of goods;
(b) the development and promotion of tools for collecting information on the trading of goods, by taking into account the latest technological advances in order to improve the functions available to information providers.
The specific conditions in which these actions are implemented are set out in Annex I. The indicative breakdown for the entire period is set out in percentages in Annex II.

The evaluation reports shall be available on request to the Member States.
2. By the end of December 2003, the Commission shall submit to the European Parliament and the Council a mid-term report of the activities financed under the new programme so as to enable, if appropriate, a review of the actions implemented under this Decision to be carried out.
At the end of the period of five years referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 7, the Commission shall submit to the European Parliament and the Council a report on the implementation of this Decision, accompanied, if appropriate, by proposals for new actions.
This report shall seek to assess, in the light of the expenditure incurred by the Community, the benefits of the actions accruing to the Community, the Member States and providers and users of statistical information, to identify areas for potential improvement and to verify synergy with other Community activities, particularly in the field of trans-European telecommunications networks and technological development programmes.
3. The Commission shall take any other measure necessary to verify that the financed actions are carried out properly and in compliance with the provisions of this Decision.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas Council Directive 66/403/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of seed potatoes (3), as last amended by Directive 87/374/EEC (4), provides that in principle, with effect from certain dates, Member States may no longer determine for themselves the equivalence of seed potatoes harvested in third countries with seed potatoes harvested within the Community and complying with that Directive;
Whereas, however, since work to establish Community equivalence for all the third countries concerned had not been completed, Article 15 (2a) of that Directive permitted Member States to extend to 31 March 1987 the period of validity of equivalence which they had already determined in respect of certain countries not covered by the Community equivalences;
Whereas the said work is still incomplete and the said final date should be replaced by a later date;
Whereas the present text of Article 15 (2a) of the Directive 66/403/EEC may lead to uncertainty and should therefore be simplified,
In Article 15 (2a) of Directive 66/403/EEC:
(a) in the first sentence, '31 March 1987' is replaced by '31 March 1988' and 'before 1 July 1975' deleted;
(b) the second sentence is deleted.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2108/70 (3) of 20 October 1970 determining the Community scale for grading pig carcases, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2507/74 (4), and in particular Article 1 (2) thereof;
Whereas Article 1 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2108/70 provides that Member States which so request may, in view of the characteristics of their pigmeat production, be authorized to disregard grades relating to weights of less than 60 kg and to limit the number of weight grades in commercial grades E I, II and III, provided a certain thickness of back fat is not exceeded, by putting into a single grade pig carcases of 80 kg and more in commercial grade E and of 90 kg and more in commercial grades I, II and III ; whereas the following requests have been received: - from Denmark, Germany and Ireland for authorization to disregard the weight grade 35 kg or more but less than 50 kg, and from Belgium, France, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, to disregard the weight grades from 35 kg or more to less than 60 kg,
- from Belgium, Denmark, Germany, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom to limit the weight grades in respect of carcases in commercial grades E I, II and III of over 80 and 90 kg respectively;
Whereas those requests were motivated by the fact that in the Member States concerned pig carcases in the commercial grades referred to above represent a very small share of the market or are not marketed at all ; whereas authorization should therefore be granted;
Whereas this Decision incorporates the authorization contained in the Commission Decision of 13 January 1972 (5) on the limitation in certain Member States of the weight grades in the Community grading scale determined by Regulation (EEC) No 2108/70 ; whereas that Decision should therefore be repealed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the Opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
For the purposes of applying the Community scale for grading pig carcases shown in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2108/70: (a) the Kingdom of Denmark, the Federal Republic of Germany and Ireland are hereby authorized to disregard the weight grade "35 kg or more but less than 50 kg";
(b) the Kingdom of Belgium, the French Republic, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and the Kingdom of the Netherlands are hereby authorized to disregard the weight grades for carcases weighing less than 60 kg;
(c) the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of Denmark, the Federal Republic of Germany, the French Republic, Ireland, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland are hereby authorized: (1)OJ No 117, 19.6.1967, p. 2283/67.

(5)OJ No L 26, 31.1.1972, p. 24. - to replace the weight grades for pig carcases of 90 kg and more in commercial grades I, II and III by a single weight grade comprising pig carcases of 90 kg and more of which the thickness of the back fat does not exceed:
in grade I : 35 mm,
in grade II : 40 mm,
in grade III : 45 mm;
- to replace the weight grades for pig carcases of 80 kg and more in commercial grade E (extra) by a single category comprising pig carcases of which the thickness of the back fat does not exceed 25 mm.
The Commission Decision of 13 January 1972 is hereby repealed.

of 16 June 1986
opening, allocating and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for apricot pulp falling within subheading ex 20.06 B II c) 1 aa) of the Common Customs Tariff and originating in Turkey
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Annex to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3721/84 of 18 December 1984 on imports into the Community of certain agricultural products originating in Turkey (1) provides for the opening by the Community of an annual Community tariff quota of 90 tonnes at a rate of 2,3 % for apricot pulp falling within subheading ex 20.06 B II c) 1 aa) of the Common Customs Tariff and originating in Turkey; whereas such a quota has been opened for the period up to 30 June 1986 by Regulation (EEC) No 1528/85 (2); whereas the tariff quota in question should therefore be opened for the abovementioned volume for the period 1 July 1986 to 30 June 1987;
Whereas, since a Protocol as provided for in Article 118 (1) of the 1979 Act of Accession and in Articles 179 and 366 of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal does not exist, the Community adopted the measures envisaged respectively in Article 119 and in Articles 180 and 367 of those Acts, in Regulations (EEC) No 3555/80 (3) and (EEC) No 449/86 (4), determining the arrangements to be applied to imports into Greece and Spain and Portugal respectively, originating in particular in Turkey; whereas the quota concerned will, therefore, apply to the Community of Nine;
Whereas it is necessary, in particular, to ensure to all Community importers equal and uninterrupted access to the rate laid down for that quota to all imports of the products concerned into all Member States until the quota has been used up; whereas, however, since the quota is to cover requirements which cannot be determined with sufficient accuracy, it should not be allocated among the Member States, without prejudice to the drawing against the quota volume of such quantities as they may need, under the conditions and according to a procedure to be determined; whereas this method of management requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must in particular be able to monitor the rate at which the quota is used up and inform the Member States thereof;
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within, and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, all transactions concerning the administration of shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
1. From 1 July 1986 to 30 June 1987, a Community tariff quota of 90 tonnes shall be opened in the Community of Nine for apricot pulp falling within subheading ex 20.06 B II c) 1 aa) of the Common Customs Tariff and originating in Turkey.
2. Within the limits of this tariff quota, the Common Customs Tariff duty applicable to these products shall be suspended at a rate of 2,3 %.
3. If an importer notifies an imminent importation of the product in question in a Member State and requests the benefit of the quota, the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission and draw an amount corresponding to its requirements to the extent that the available balance of the reserve so permits.
4. The shares drawn pursuant to paragraph 3 shall be valid until the end of the quota period.
1. Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that their drawings pursuant to Article 1 (3) are carried out in such a way that imports may be charged without interruption against their accumulated shares of the Community quota.
2. Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the product concerned have access to the quota for such time as the residual balance of the quota volume so permits.
3. Member States shall charge imports of the product concerned against their drawings as and when the goods are entered for free circulation.
4. The extent to which the quota has been used up shall be determined on the basis of the imports charged in accordance with paragraph 3.
At the request of the Commission, Member States shall inform it of imports of the product concerned actually charged against the quota.
Member States and the Commission shall collaborate closely in order to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 1986.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

(2) The close monitoring performed in the poultry flocks has not shown any virus circulation since the last recorded case of low pathogenic avian influenza in March 2001.
(3) The Italian authorities have informed the Commission and the Member States that all vaccinations came to an end on 16 May 2002.
(4) In connection to the phasing out of the vaccination, the restrictive measures for live vaccinated poultry and hatching eggs should be modified, and be lifted for table eggs and poultrymeat originating from vaccinated poultry.
(5) However, the monitoring of vaccinated flocks should be continued including the use of the serological test (iIFA-Test), which had been approved by Commission Decision 2001/847/EC.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
1. No live poultry that has been vaccinated against avian influenza or hatching eggs, day-old chicks and any other progeny derived from such poultry shall be dispatched from Italy.
2. Animal health certificates accompanying consignments of live birds and hatching eggs from Italy shall include the words: "The animal health conditions of this consignment are in accordance with Decision 2002/552/EC".
In the area described in Annex I the monitoring of vaccinated poultry flocks shall be carried out as laid down in Annex II to this Decision. It shall be continued for six months after the date on which vaccination against avian influenza ended.
Italy shall present a final report on the results of the vaccination campaign and the monitoring programme by 31 December 2002.
This Decision shall apply from the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Whereas Article 1 (3) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 259/93 excludes from the scope of application of the Regulation shipments of waste destined for recovery only and listed in Annex II thereto, except as provided for by, inter alia, Article 17 (1), (2) and (3);
Whereas in accordance with Article 17 (1) the Commission has notified to every country to which the OECD Council Decision of 30 March 1992 on the control of transfrontier movements of wastes destined for recovery operations does not apply the list of waste included in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 259/93, and has requested confirmation that such waste is not subject to control in the country of destination or has asked that such country indicate where such waste should be subject to the control procedures which apply to waste listed in Annex III or IV to the Regulation, or to the procedure laid down in Article 15 thereof;
Whereas certain countries have indicated that such waste should be subject to one of those control procedures;

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3589/82 of 23 December 1982 on common rules for imports of certain textile products originating in third countries (1), and in particular Article 11 thereof,
Whereas Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 3589/82 lays down the conditions under which quantitative limits may be established; whereas imports into France and the United Kingdom of shirts (category 8) originating in Bangladesh have exceeded the level referred to in paragraph 3 of the said Article;
Whereas, in accordance with paragraph 5 of the said Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 3589/82, Bangladesh was notified on 17 December 1984 of a request for consultations;
Whereas, pending a mutually satisfactory solution, imports of products of category 8 from Bangladesh into France and the United Kingdom were submitted to a provisional quantitative restriction for the period 17 December 1984 to 16 March 1985 by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3670/84 (2);
Whereas the consultations opened with Bangladesh did not lead to a definitive conclusion in regard to the problems involved;
Whereas, in these circumstances, it is appropriate to make imports of products of category 8 from Bangladesh into France and the United Kingdom subject to quantitative limits for the period 17 December 1984 to 31 July 1985; whereas a decision on limits for the rest of 1985 and for 1986 will be taken later having regard to the final outcome of the consultations;
Whereas paragraph 13 of the said Article 11 provides for compliance with the quantitative limits to be ensured by means of a double-checking system in accordance with Annex VI to Regulation (EEC) No 3589/82;
Whereas the products in question exported from Bangladesh into France and the United Kingdom between 17 December 1984 and the date of entry into force of this Regulation must be set off against the quantitative limits laid down in the Annex;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textiles Committee,
Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 2, imports into France and the United Kingdom of the category of products originating in Bangladesh specified in the Annex hereto shall be subject to the quantitative limits set out in that Annex.
1. Products as referred to in Article 1, shipped from Bangladesh to France and the United Kingdom before the date of entry into force of Regulation (EEC) No 3670/84 and not yet released for free circulation, shall be so released subject to the presentation of a bill of lading or other transport document proving that shipment actually took place before that date.
2. Imports of products shipped from Bangladesh to France and the United Kingdom from the date of entry into force of Regulation (EEC) No 3670/84 shall remain subject to the double-checking system described in Annex VI to Regulation (EEC) No 3589/82.
3. In applying the provisions of paragraph 2, all quantities of products shipped from Bangladesh to France and the United Kingdom from 17 December 1984 and released for free circulation shall be deducted from the quantitative limits laid down in the Annex. These quantitative limits shall not, however, prevent the importation of products covered by it, but shipped from Bangladesh before the entry into force of Regulation (EEC) No 3670/84.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the second day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply until 31 July 1985.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 1 of 27 June 1968 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products, and in particular Articles 14 (7) and 35 thereof;
Whereas Article 44 (7) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 provides that methods of determining free-at-frontier prices should be laid down ; whereas pursuant to Article 14 (4) of that Regulation a free-at-Community-frontier price is determined for each pilot product on the basis of the most favourable purchasing opportunities in international trade for the products of the related group, with the exception of assimilated products the levy on which is not equal to the levy on the related pilot product;
Whereas to this end the Commission must take account of all information obtained direct or through Member States ; whereas, so that free-at-frontier prices may be representative, certain information must be excluded from the calculation if it relates only to small quantities or unrepresentative prices;
Whereas, for reasons of comparison, free-at-frontier prices must be determined for products with the same characteristics as those for which the threshold prices are fixed, namely products of good marketable quality ; whereas, therefore, the prices of products which do not come up to these standards must be adjusted;
Whereas, in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 14 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68, in the determination of free-at-frontier prices account must be taken of any differences between the product for which a price in recorded and the pilot product, in so far as they affect the marketing of the product in question ; whereas such differences relate, in particular, to the composition, quality, maturity and presentation of the products ; whereas differences of composition should be taken into account by reference to the price situation of the raw material in international trade ; whereas the other characteristics may be assessed in accordance with the value attributed to them in the Community;
Whereas information on prices may not be available for certain products ; whereas the free-at-frontier price should then be determined by means of a formula;
Whereas to prevent the Community market being disturbed by sudden substantial alterations in levies which do not reflect real movements of the market price there should be provision whereby the Commission, in certain circumstances, may exceptionally and for a limited period maintain a free-at-frontier price unchanged;
Whereas levies should be fixed at regular intervals bearing in mind the importance of price stability to trade and of the need to take account of price trends in international trade ; whereas, in general, a fortnightly fixing serves these ends;
Whereas application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 823/68 2 of 28 June 1968 determining groups of products and the special provisions for calculating levies on milk and milk products requires certain clarifications;
Whereas the system set up by Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 will apply from 29 July 1968 ; whereas for levies on products containing sugar the component representing the amount of added sugar must be 1OJ No L 148, 28.6.1968, p. 13. 2OJ No L 151, 30.6.1968, p. 3.
calculated on the basis of the levies applicable to white sugar during the first twenty days of the month preceding that during which the levy on the milk product applies ; whereas the system set up for sugar has only been applied since 1 July 1968 ; whereas, therefore, transitional provisions are needed for the first fixing of levies;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products;
1. A free-at-frontier price shall be determined by the Commission for each pilot product.
2. These prices shall be determined for products of good marketable quality.
Free-at-frontier prices shall be determined on the basis of the most favourable purchasing opportunities in international trade in the products listed in Article 1 (a) 2 and (b) to (g) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68, with the exception of assimilated products the levy on which is not equal to the levy on the related pilot product.
When recording the most favourable purchasing opportunities in international trade, account shall be taken of all information on: 1. free-at-frontier prices ruling in the Community for products imported from third countries:
2. prices on the markets of third countries, known to the Commission either direct or through Member States.
When recording the most favourable purchasing opportunities in international trade, account shall not be taken of information: 1. relating to a small quantity unrepresentative of trade in the product in question;
2. in respect of which price trends in general or other information available to it lead the Commission to believe that the price in question is unrepresentative of the real trend of the market.
1. Prices referred to in Article 3 which do not apply (a) free-at-Community-frontier,
(b) to products of good marketable quality, shall be adjusted.
2. Prices referred to in Article 3 which apply to an assimilated product the levy on which is equal to the levy on the related pilot product shall be adjusted by taking account, in particular, of differences of (a) composition,
(b) maturity,
(c) quality,
(d) presentation,
between the assimilated product and the related pilot product.
Adjustments relating to composition shall be calculated by multiplying the difference between the milk component content of the pilot product and that of the assimilated product in question by the value attributed in international trade to a unit of weight of the milk component in question.
Other adjustments shall be calculated with reference to the difference between the value attributed on the Community market to each of the relevant characteristics of the pilot product and the value attributed on that market to the corresponding characteristic of the assimilated product in question.
When information on prices is not available the free-at-frontier price may be determined exceptionally on the basis of: 1. the value of the raw materials contained in the pilot product in question calculated on the basis of the prices of milk products for which prices are available,
2. average processing costs,

A free-at-frontier price may exceptionally be maintained unchanged for a limited period when: 1. the price for a given quality or origin which served as a basis for determining the previous free-at-frontier price has not come to the knowledge of the Commission in time for determining the next free-at-frontier price, and
2. the prices available, which the Commission does not regard as sufficiently representative of the real trend of the market, would entail sudden, substantial alterations in the free-at-frontier price.
1. Levies shall be fixed every fortnight. They shall, however, be altered in the intervening period if necessary.

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), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2), and in particular Article 27(5) thereof,

| 13.3.2009 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 68/3
DIRECTIVE 2009/14/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 11 March 2009
amending Directive 94/19/EC on deposit-guarantee schemes as regards the coverage level and the payout delay
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 47(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Central Bank (1),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),
Whereas:
(1) The Council agreed on 7 October 2008 that it is a priority to restore confidence and proper functioning of the financial sector. It undertook to take all necessary measures to protect the deposits of individual savers and welcomed the intention of the Commission to bring forward urgently an appropriate proposal to promote convergence of deposit-guarantee schemes.
(2) Directive 94/19/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) already provides for basic coverage for depositors. However, the ongoing financial turmoil necessitates an improvement of that coverage.
(3) The current minimum coverage level provided for in Directive 94/19/EC is set at EUR 20 000 with the option for Member States to determine higher coverage. However, this has proved not to be adequate for a large number of deposits in the Community. In order to maintain depositor confidence and attain greater stability on the financial markets, the minimum coverage level should therefore be increased to EUR 50 000. By 31 December 2010, coverage for the aggregate deposits of each depositor should be set at EUR 100 000, unless a Commission impact assessment, submitted to the European Parliament and the Council by 31 December 2009, concludes that such an increase and such harmonisation are inappropriate and are not financially viable for all Member States in order to ensure consumer protection and financial stability in the Community and to avoid distortions of competition between Member States. In the event that the impact assessment reveals that such an increase and such harmonisation are inappropriate, the Commission should submit appropriate proposals to the European Parliament and the Council.
(4) The same coverage level should apply to all depositors regardless of whether a Member State’s currency is the euro or not. Member States outside the euro area should have the possibility to round off the amounts resulting from the conversion without compromising the equivalent protection of depositors.
(5) A report to be submitted to the European Parliament and to the Council by the Commission should analyse all related issues such as set-offs and counterclaims, the determination of contributions to schemes, the scope of products and depositors covered, the effectiveness of cross-border cooperation between deposit-guarantee schemes and the link between deposit-guarantee schemes and alternative means for reimbursing depositors, such as emergency payout mechanisms. For the purpose of that report, Member States should collect the relevant data and submit them to the Commission on request.
(6) Some Member States have established deposit-guarantee schemes under Directive 94/19/EC which provide full coverage for certain kinds of long-term deposits, such as claims on pensions. It is necessary to respect the rights and expectations of the depositors in such schemes.
(7) Some Member States have established or plan to establish deposit-guarantee schemes under Directive 94/19/EC which provide full coverage for certain temporarily increased account balances. The Commission should assess, by 31 December 2009, whether full coverage for certain temporarily increased account balances should be maintained or introduced.
(8) The functioning of systems which protect the credit institution itself and, in particular, ensure its liquidity and solvency, thus guaranteeing protection for depositors at least equivalent to that provided by a deposit-guarantee scheme, and voluntary systems of depositors compensation which are not introduced or officially recognised by a Member State should not be affected by this Directive.
(9) Member States should encourage deposit-guarantee schemes to consider entering into agreements or improving existing agreements concerning their respective obligations.
(10) The payout delay of three months currently provided for, which can be extended to nine months, runs counter to the need to maintain depositor confidence and does not meet their needs. The payout delay should therefore be reduced to a period of 20 working days. That period should be extended only under exceptional circumstances and after approval by the competent authorities. Two years after the entry into force of this Directive the Commission should submit to the European Parliament and to the Council a report on the effectiveness and delays of the payout procedures assessing whether a further reduction of the delay to 10 working days would be appropriate.
(11) Furthermore, in cases where the payout is triggered by a determination of the competent authorities, the decision period of 21 days currently provided for should be reduced to five working days in order not to impede rapid payout. The competent authorities should, however, first be satisfied that a credit institution has failed to repay deposits which are due and payable. That assessment should be subject to the judicial or administrative procedures of the Member States.
(12) Deposits may be considered unavailable once early intervention or reorganisation measures have been unsuccessful. This should not prevent competent authorities from making further restructuring efforts during the payout delay.
(13) Member States should aim at ensuring the continuity of banking services and access to liquidity of banks, in particular in periods of financial turmoil. For this purpose, Member States are encouraged to make arrangements as soon as possible for ensuring emergency payouts of appropriate amounts upon the application of the affected depositor, within no more than three days of such application. Since the reduction of the current payout delay of three months will have a positive impact on depositor confidence and the proper functioning of the financial markets, Member States and their deposit-guarantee schemes should ensure that the payout delay is as short as possible.
(14) Directive 94/19/EC provides the possibility for Member States to limit coverage to a specified percentage. That option has been demonstrated to undermine depositor confidence and should thus be discontinued.
(15) The measures necessary for the implementation of Directive 94/19/EC should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (4).
(16) In particular, the Commission should be empowered to adjust the coverage level according to inflation in the European Union on the basis of changes in the harmonised index of consumer prices published by the Commission. Since that measure is of general scope and is designed to amend non-essential elements of Directive 94/19/EC, it must be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.
(17) Since the objectives of this Directive, namely the harmonisation of coverage levels and of payout delays, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States because of the multitude of different rules existing in the legal systems of the various Member States and can therefore be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives.
(18) Directive 94/19/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(19) In accordance with point 34 of the Interinstitutional Agreement on better law-making (5), Member States are encouraged to draw up, for themselves and in the interest of the Community, their own tables illustrating, as far as possible, the correlation between this Directive and the transposition measures and to make them public,

Whereas:
(1) The import duties in the cereals sector are fixed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 766/2003(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.

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1206/90 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2202/90 (4), lays down general rules for the system of production aid for processed fruit and vegetables;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86, the minimum price to be paid to producers is to be determined on the basis of, firstly, the minimum price applying during the previous marketing year, secondly, the movement of basic prices in the fruit and vegetables sector, and thirdly, the need to ensure the normal marketing of fresh products for the various uses, including supply of the processing industry;
Whereas Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 lays down the criteria for fixing the amount of production aid; whereas account must, in particular, be taken of the aid fixed for the previous marketing year adjusted to take account of changes in the minimum price to be paid to producers and the difference between the cost of the raw material in the Community and in the major competing third countries;
Whereas a system of monetary adjustment was applied to the amount of the aid of the previous marketing years, on the one hand to correct the impact of the differences existing between the agricultural conversion rate and the average of the market exchange rate during a given period and on the other hand to ensure normal competition with third countries, that, owing to measures taken as regards agri-monetary policy, it is appropriate to suspend application of it;
Whereas the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
For the 1995/96 marketing year:
(a) the minimum price referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 to be paid to producers for peaches;
and (b) the production aid referred to in Article 5 of the same Regulation for peaches in syrup and/or natural fruit juice,
shall be as set out in the Annex.
Where processing takes place outside the Member State in which the produce was grown, such Member State shall furnish proof to the Member State paying the production aid that the minimum price payable to the producer has been paid.

(Text with EEA relevance)
(2005/693/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC (1), and in particular Article 18(1) and (6) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (2), and in particular Article 22(1) and (5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Avian influenza is an infectious viral disease in poultry and birds, causing mortality and disturbances which can quickly take epizootic proportions liable to present a serious threat to animal and public health and to reduce sharply the profitability of poultry farming.
(2) Commission Decision 2000/666/EC of 16 October 2000 laying down the animal health requirements and the veterinary certification for the import of birds, other than poultry and the conditions for quarantine (3) provides that Member States are to authorise the import of birds from the third countries listed as members of the Office International des Epizootics (OIE). Russia is a member of the OIE and accordingly Member States are to accept imports of birds, other than poultry, from Russia under that Decision.
(3) Under Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 October 2002 laying down health rules concerning animal by-products not intended for human consumption (4), the importation of unprocessed feathers and parts of feathers originating in Russia is authorised.
(4) Commission Decision 2004/122/EC of 6 February 2004 concerning certain protection measures in relation to avian influenza in several third countries (5) suspends certain imports of poultry and poultry products from affected third countries.
(5) On 24 July 2005 Russia notified the OIE of an outbreak of avian influenza in poultry. Accordingly, Decision 2004/122/EC was amended to take account of those outbreaks by suspending imports of unprocessed feathers and birds other than poultry from that third country into the Community.
(6) Decision 2004/122/EC was repealed and, with regard to the affected third countries, other than Russia, replaced by Commission Decision 2005/692/EC concerning certain protection measures in relation to avian influenza in several third countries (6). It is therefore appropriate to lay down specific rules for the importation of certain birds and poultry products from Russia in a separate act.
(7) Taking into account the potential serious consequences related to the specific avian influenza virus strain (H5N1) involved, which is the same as that confirmed in a number of Asian countries, the importation of certain birds from Russia should be suspended as a precautionary measure. In view of the current disease situation in Russia imports of unprocessed feathers and parts of feathers originating in Russia should also be suspended.
(8) Russia has now provided further information indicating that the outbreak has been contained in the regions (Federal districts) located to the east of the Ural Mountains and can therefore be regionalised for imports of unprocessed feathers. Imports of birds other than poultry should still be suspended from the whole of Russia.
(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,
1. Member States shall suspend the importation from Russia of live birds other than poultry as defined in Article 1, third indent, of Decision 2000/666/EC, including birds accompanying their owners (pet birds).
2. Member States shall suspend the importation from Russia of unprocessed feathers and parts of feathers from the regions listed in Annex I.
3. Member States shall authorise the importation of unprocessed feathers and parts of feathers from those regions in Russia not listed in Annex I, provided that they are accompanied by a health certificate in accordance with the model set out in Annex II.
4. Member States shall ensure that, for the importation of processed feathers or parts of feathers from Russia, a commercial document stating that the processed feathers or parts thereof have been treated with a steam current or by some other method ensuring that no pathogens are transmitted accompany the consignment.
However, that commercial documents shall not be required for processed decorative feathers, processed feathers carried by travellers for their private use or consignments of processed feathers sent to private individuals for non-industrial purposes.
The Member States shall amend the measures they apply to imports so as to bring them into compliance with this Decision and they shall give immediate appropriate publicity to the measures adopted. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 93/81/EEC (2),
Whereas the authorities of the Federal Republic of Germany lodged a request, consolidated by the request of 14 December 1995, for approval, by the Commission, of an exemption pursuant to Article 8 (2) (c) of Directive 70/156/EEC; whereas this request was accompanied by a report containing the information required by the abovementioned Article 8; whereas this request concerns one type of gas discharge light source to be installed in one type of headlamp intended for use in motor vehicles;
Whereas the information submitted by the authorities of the Federal Republic of Germany shows that the technology and principle embodied in these new types of gas discharge light source and headlamp do not meet the requirements of Community regulations; whereas, however, the description of the tests, the results thereof and the action taken in order to ensure road safety are satisfactory and ensure a level of safety equivalent to that of the lamps and headlamps covered by the requirements of the Directives in force and, in particular, of Council Directive 76/761/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to motor-vehicle headlamps which function as main-beam and/or dipped-beam headlamps and to incandescent electric filament lamps for such headlamps (3);
Whereas these new types of gas discharge light source and headlamp meet the requirements of Regulations adopted by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe; whereas, this being the case, it is therefore justified to allow vehicles equipped with headlamps fitted with the lamps covered by the request for exemption to benefit immediately from the granting of EEC type approval on condition that the vehicles are equipped with an automatic beam levelling system, a headlamp cleaning system and a system guaranteeing a permanent dipped beam;
Whereas the Community Directive concerned will be amended in order to enable discharge lamps embodying this new technology and headlamps equipped with such lamps to be placed on the market;
Whereas the measure provided for by this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the adaptation to technical progress of the Directives for the removal of technical barriers to trade in the motor vehicles sector, as set up by Directive 70/156/EEC,
The Commission hereby approves the request lodged by the Federal Republic of Germany, consolidated by the request of 14 December 1995, pursuant to Article 8 (2) (c) of Directive 70/156/EEC, for an exemption concerning one type of gas discharge light source to be installed in one type of headlamp intended to be fitted to motor vehicles.
This request is granted on condition that such vehicles are equipped with an automatic beam levelling system, a headlamp cleaning system and a system guaranteeing a permanent dipped beam.

| COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 703/96 of 18 April 1996 initiating an investigation concerning the circumvention of anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2474/93 on imports of bicycles originating in the People's Republic of China by assembly operations in the European Community
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), and in particular Articles 13 and 14 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. REQUEST
(1) The Commission has received a request pursuant to Article 13 (3) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (hereinafter 'the Basic Regulation`) to investigate the alleged circumvention of the anti-dumping duties imposed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2474/93 of 8 September 1993 (2) on imports of bicycles originating in the People's Republic of China by imports of parts originating in that country which are subsequently used in the assembly of bicycles in the Community; to make the imports of these parts subject to registration by the customs authorities pursuant to Article 14 (5) of the Basic Regulation and to extend where justified the above anti-dumping duties to the latter imports.
B. APPLICANT
(2) The request has been lodged by the European Bicycle Manufacturers' Association on 7 March 1996, on behalf of the Community industry.
C. PRODUCT
(3) The products through which the alleged circumvention is taking place are bicycle parts and accessories originating in the People's Republic of China which are used in the assembly of bicycles in the European Community. These products are currently classifiable within the CN codes ranging from 8714 91 10 to 8714 99 90. These codes are given for information only and have no binding effect on the classification of the product.
D. REGISTRATION
(4) In view of the great variety and large number of bicycle parts, registration of imports should be limited to the main parts used in bicycle assembly operations, namely bicycle frames, forks, rims and hubs falling within CN codes 8714 91 10, 8714 91 30, 8714 92 10 and 8714 93 10 respectively.
E. EVIDENCE
(5) The request contains sufficient evidence to satisfy the requirements of Article 13 (1) of the Basic Regulation that the anti-dumping duties on imports of bicycles originating in the People's Republic of China are being circumvented by imports of bicycle parts originating in that country used in assembly operations in the Community.
(6) The evidence is as follows:
(a) Since the initiation of the original anti-dumping investigation on 12 October 1991 a clear change has taken place in the pattern of trade between the country concerned and Community. Between 1992 and 1995 imports of bicycles from the People's Republic of China into three Member States which represent the major part of the trade concerned in the Community have decreased by more than 96 %, whereas corresponding imports of bicycle frames in the same period have increased by more than 200 %.
This change in the pattern of trade is alleged to stem from an increase in the assembly operations in the Community for which there is insufficient due cause or economic justification, apart from the existence of the anti-dumping duties. The most obvious cause of the abovementioned change in the pattern of trade is that imports of bicycle parts are not required to pay the 30,6 % anti-dumping duty imposed on imports of assembled bicycles originating in the People's Republic of China.
(b) Furthermore, the request contains evidence which shows that the prices at which the bicycles assembled from Chinese parts are being sold in the Community are lower than the non-dumped level of the export price established in the original investigation for the bicycles assembled in the People's Republic of China.
(c) Finally, the applicant claims that the alleged circumvention is severely undermining the remedial effects of the existing anti-dumping duties in terms of the prices of the assembled like product. This is preventing the Community industry from achieving a reasonable profit which would allow it to recover from the injurious effects of dumping and to redress its unsatisfactory financial situation.
F. PROCEDURE
(7) In the light of the evidence contained in the request, the Commission has concluded that sufficient evidence exists to justify the initiation of an investigation under Article 13 (3) of the Basic Regulation, and to make imports of the bicycle parts mentioned in recital (4) above subject to registration in accordance with Article 14 (5) of the said Regulation.
(i) Questionnaires
(8) In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send questionnaires to the bicycle assemblers in the Community named in the request. Information, as appropriate, may be sought from Community producers.
(9) Other interested parties which can show that they are likely to be affected by the outcome of the investigation, should ask for a copy of the questionnaire as soon as possible, as they are also subject to the time limit set out in this Regulation. Any request for questionnaires must be made in writing to the address mentioned below, and should indicate the name, address, telephone and fax numbers of the requesting party.
The authorities of the People's Republic of China will be notified of the initiation of the investigation and provided with a copy of the request.
(ii) Certificates of non-circumvention
(10) In accordance with Article 13 (4) of the Basic Regulation, certificates exempting the imports of the product concerned from registration or measures may be granted when the importation does not constitute circumvention.
The Commission will consider applications for such certificates on the basis of a thorough appraisal of the merits of such applications.
G. TIME LIMIT
(11) In the interest of sound administration, a period should be fixed within which interested parties, provided they can show that they are likely to be affected by the results of the investigation, may make their views known in writing. A period should also be fixed within which interested parties may make a written request for a hearing and show that there are particular reasons why they should be heard.
Furthermore, it should be stated that in cases in which any interested party refuses access to, or otherwise does not provide necessary information within the time limit, or significantly impedes the investigation, provisional or final findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of the Basic Regulation, on the basis of the facts available,
An investigation pursuant to Article 13 (2) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of imports of bicycle parts falling within the CN codes ranging from 8714 91 10 to 8714 99 90 originating in the People's Republic of China and used in bicycle assembly operations in the Community is hereby initiated.
The customs authorities are hereby directed, pursuant to Article 14 (5) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, to take the appropriate steps to register the imports of bicycle frames, forks, rims and hubs falling within CN codes 8714 91 10, 8714 91 30, 8714 92 10 and 8714 93 10 respectively, in order to ensure that, should the anti-dumping duties applicable to imports of bicycles originating in the People's Republic of China be extended to the former imports, they may be collected from the date of such registration.
Registration shall expire nine months following the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
Imports shall not be subject to registration where they are accompanied by a customs certificate issued in accordance with Article 13 (4) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96.
Interested parties must, if their representations are to be taken into account during the investigation, make themselves known, present their views in writing, submit information and apply to be heard by the Commission within 37 days from the date of transmission of this Regulation to the authorities of the People's Repubic of China. The transmission of this Regulation to the authorities of the People's Republic of China shall be deemed to have taken place on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

(notified under document C(2013) 8638)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 on industrial emissions (integrated pollution prevention and control) (1), and in particular Article 32(5), second subparagraph thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 32(5) first subparagraph of Directive 2010/75/EU, Ireland submitted to the Commission its transitional national plan (TNP) on 31 December 2012 (2).
(2) During its assessment of the completeness of the TNP, the Commission found some inconsistencies between the list of plants included in the TNP and those reported by Ireland in its emission inventory under Directive 2001/80/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), as well as missing information for one plant, all of which hampered the assessment of the TNP data.
(3) By letter of 3 June 2013 (4), the Commission requested the Irish authorities to provide clarification about any inconsistencies between the TNP and the inventory under Directive 2001/80/EC, as well as a clarification concerning one combustion plant.
(4) Ireland submitted additional information to the Commission by letter of 10 July 2013 concerning, inter alia, the removal of one plant from the TNP (5).
(5) After further assessment of the TNP and the additional information provided, the Commission sent a second letter on 4 September 2013 (6) in which it requested for clarification of the date on which the first permit was granted for several plants, and on the correct application of the aggregation rules defined in Article 29 of the IED. The Commission also requested a revision of the calculation of the contribution to the TNP ceilings for multi-fuel fired plants.
(6) By e-mail of 23 September 2013 (7) Ireland provided the requested additional information and clarifications, in conformity with Commission Implementing Decision 2012/115/EU (8).
(7) The TNP has therefore been assessed by the Commission in accordance with Article 32(1), (3) and (4) of Directive 2010/75/EU and with Implementing Decision 2012/115/EU.
(8) In particular, the Commission has examined the consistency and correctness of the data, assumptions and calculations used for determining the contributions of each of the combustion plants covered by the TNP to the emission ceilings set out in the TNP, and has analysed whether it contains objectives and related targets, measures and timetables for reaching these objectives and a monitoring mechanism to assess future compliance.
(9) Further to the additional information submitted, the Commission found that the emission ceilings for the years 2016 and 2019 were calculated using the appropriate data and formulae and that the calculations were correct. Ireland has provided sufficient information regarding the measures that will be implemented in order to achieve the emission ceilings, the monitoring and the reporting to the Commission on the implementation of the TNP.
(10) The Commission is satisfied that the Irish authorities have taken into consideration the provisions listed in Article 32(1), (3) and (4) of Directive 2010/75/EU and in Implementing Decision 2012/115/EU.
(11) The implementation of the TNP should be without prejudice to other applicable national and Union law. In particular, when setting individual permit conditions for the combustion plants covered by the TNP, Ireland should ensure that compliance with the requirements set out in, inter alia, Directive 2010/75/EU, Directive 2008/50/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (9) and Directive 2001/81/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (10) is not jeopardised.
(12) Article 32(6) of Directive 2010/75/EU requires Ireland to inform the Commission of any subsequent changes to the TNP. The Commission should assess whether those changes comply with the provisions laid down in Article 32(1), (3) and (4) of Directive 2010/75/EU and in Implementing Decision 2012/115/EU.
1. On the basis of Article 32(1), (3) and (4) of Directive 2010/75/EU and of Implementing Decision 2012/115/EU, no objections are raised against the transitional national plan, which Ireland notified to the Commission on 31 December 2012 pursuant to Article 32(5) of Directive 2010/75/EU, as amended in accordance with the additional information sent on 10 July 2013 and 23 September 2013 (11).
2. The list of plants covered by the transitional national plan, the pollutants for which those plants are covered, and the applicable emission ceilings are laid down in the Annex.
3. The implementation of the transitional national plan by the Irish authorities shall not exempt Ireland from compliance with the provisions of Directive 2010/75/EU concerning the emissions from the individual combustion plants covered by the plan, and with other relevant bodies of the European Union environmental law.
The Commission shall assess if any subsequent changes to the transitional national plan, notified by Ireland in the future, comply with the provisions listed in Article 32(1), (3) and (4) of Directive 2010/75/EU and in Implementing Decision 2012/115/EU.

Whereas, pursuant to Article 7 (2) of the abovementioned Regulation, the Commission is to record any overrun in the Community maximum guaranteed area and is to determine the resulting reduction in the aid; whereas, on the basis of information received from the producer Member States, the Commission has recorded an overrun for the 1989/90 marketing year in the maximum guaranteed area determined by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2048/90 of 18 July 1990 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of aid in favour of small cotton producers (2); whereas that overrun should therefore be determined and, using the formula laid down in Article 9 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2048/90, the reduced aid for that marketing year should be determined as indicated below,
For the marketing year, the overrun in the Community maximum guaranteed area under cotton referred to in Article 7 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1152/90 shall be 773 hectares.
For the 1989/90 marketing year, the aid reduced pursuant to Article 7 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1152/90 shall be ECU 247,38 per hectare.

After consulting the Fund Committee,
Whereas by way of Decision 90/644/EEC (3) the Commission provisionally disallowed an amount of FF 446 472 537 relating to non-collection of the additional levy in the milk sector; whereas the Commission stated its readiness to re-examine this Decision provided France produced proof capable of removing the doubts regarding the correct application of the scheme in question; whereas this proof has now been provided both by on-the-spot checks and by a new study of the statistics available; whereas the amount specified during the 1988 clearance procedure can therefore be released;
Whereas, as regards export refunds granted on cereals and sugar, Decision 90/644/EEC disallowed the following amounts: DM 27 510 204 in the case of Germany; Fl 125 403 941 in the case of the Netherlands; FF 547 383 456 in the case of France and Dkr 45 027 353 in the case of Denmark; whereas the Commission, however, undertook to re-examine that Decision if the Member States concerned carried out a further check of the expenditure in question and supplied proof capable of removing the doubts regarding the justification for the removing declared; whereas the subsequent investigation of exporting firms in Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark did not reveal anomalies in the declaration; whereas the Community should therefore assume responsibility for the amounts specified in the case of Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands; whereas it is not possible to reach a similar decision in the case of France, given the delays in the carrying out of this supplementary investigation in that Member State,
The Annex to Decision 90/644/EEC is hereby replaced by the Annex to this Decision as regards Denmark, Germany, France and the Netherlands.
1. The following amounts are repaid to Member States in the framework of advances effected for the 1991 exercice:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 411/2002(2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 13(3) and (15) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, provides that when refunds are being fixed account must be taken of the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of rice and broken rice on the Community market on the one hand and prices for rice and broken rice on the world market on the other. The same Article provides that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the rice market and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports and the need to avoid disturbances of the Community market with limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(3) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1361/76(3) lays down the maximum percentage of broken rice allowed in rice for which an export refund is fixed and specifies the percentage by which that refund is to be reduced where the proportion of broken rice in the rice exported exceeds that maximum.
(4) Export possibilities exist for a quantity of 8800 tonnes of rice to certain destinations. The procedure laid down in Article 8(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1342/2003(4) should be used. Account should be taken of this when the refunds are fixed.
(5) Article 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the export refund on rice and broken rice is being calculated.
(6) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.
(7) A separate refund should be fixed for packaged long grain rice to accommodate current demand for the product on certain markets.
(8) The refund must be fixed at least once a month; whereas it may be altered in the intervening period.
(9) It follows from applying these rules and criteria to the present situation on the market in rice and in particular to quotations or prices for rice and broken rice within the Community and on the world market, that the refund should be fixed as set out in the Annex hereto.
(10) For the purposes of administering the volume restrictions resulting from Community commitments in the context of the WTO, the issue of export licences with advance fixing of the refund should be restricted.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 with the exception of those listed in paragraph 1(c) of that Article, exported in the natural state, shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
With the exception of the quantity of 8800 tonnes provided for in the Annex, the issue of export licences with advance fixing of the refund is suspended.

Whereas:
(1) The import duties in the cereals sector applicable from 1 January 2009 were fixed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1347/2008 (3).

| COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the arrangements for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden and by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 (2), and in particular Articles 10 (4), 11 (4), 13 (11) and 16 (2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 of 21 June 1976 on the common organization of the market in rice (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94, and in particular Articles 13 (4), 14 (16) and 17 thereof,
Whereas, depending on its composition, prepared animal fodder under CN code 2309 falls within the scope of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (4), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden and by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94; whereas, in the case of those products falling within the scope of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, import levies are replaced by import duties from 1 July 1995;
Whereas Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 requires submission of an import or export licence for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation, which include preparations of the types used for animal feed;
Whereas Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides for an export refund to be granted in respect of the goods listed in Annex A to that Regulation; whereas the main object of the refund is to compensate for the difference between the prices of the basic products in the Community and those on the world market; whereas general rules for the granting of that refund should be laid down;
Whereas, for the purpose of paying the refund, only those products, the quantities of which incorporated in the compound feedingstuff and their features are truly representative of the substance of the cereal-based feedingstuff in question, that is, cereals, cereal flour and unprepared products derived from the grinding and treatment of cereals should be taken into consideration, to the exclusion of other products whose inclusion in feedingstuffs of this type is complementary or marginal;
Whereas the amount of the refund relating to these various cereal products should take particular account of the difference between prices on the world market and those on the Community market for basic cereals, i.e. maize, wheat and barley;
Whereas adjustment of refunds fixed in advance should take account of the factors on which the refund was based; whereas that adjustment should take account, of the content in cereal products;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1913/69 of 29 September 1969 on the granting and advance fixing of export refunds on cereal-based compound feedingstuffs (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1707/94 (6), and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1619/93 of 25 June 1993 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 regarding the arrangements applicable to cereal-based feedingstuffs (7) should be repealed from 1 July 1995; whereas this Regulation takes over the provisions of those Regulations and adapts them to the present market situation and implementation of the agreements reached as part of the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations;
Whereas, since Article 5 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 891/89 (8), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1043/95, was incorporated into Article 4 (2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 of 23 May 1995 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice (9), that Regulation should be amended to permit the issue of licences in accordance with Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92;
Whereas the Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
1. Export refunds for products falling within CN codes 2309 10 11, 2309 10 13, 2309 10 31, 2309 10 33, 2309 10 51, 2309 10 53, 2309 90 31, 2309 90 33, 2309 90 41, 2309 90 43, 2309 90 51 and 2309 90 53 and listed in Annex A to Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, hereinafter referred to as 'cereal-based compound feedingstuffs`, shall be fixed in accordance with this Regulation.
2. Cereal-based compound feedingstuffs shall be classified under the CN codes in Annex I.
1. During a given month, the export refund which may be granted on cereal-based compound feedingstuffs shall be fixed per tonne of each cereal contained in the compound feedingstuffs, taking account of the following criteria:
(a) the average of the refunds granted during the previous month for the most commonly used basic cereals, adjusted on the basis of the increase for the current month;
(b) the average of the import duties for the most commonly used basic cereals;
(c) outlets and conditions of sale for the products in question on the world market;
(d) the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market;
(e) the economic aspects of the exports concerned.
2. The refunds shall be fixed at least once a month.
1. Where necessary, the refund shall be adjusted in accordance with Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 1162/95. The adjustment shall be made by increasing or decreasing the refund by the amount resulting from each of the adjustments referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 of Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 1162/95, per tonne of cereal product incorporated in the compound feedingstuff. Where necessary, the refund may also be adjusted in the light of the price of milk powder for the month of exportation.
A corrective factor for this product is fixed to take account of the amount of aid granted for milk powder for use in animal feed during the month of exportation.
2. For the purposes of the application of Article 13 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, the amount zero shall not be considered to be a refund and consequently the adjustment referred to in Article 12 (3) of Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 shall not apply.
1. The exporter shall notify the competent authorities no later than the point at which customs formalities are completed of the total composition of the cereal-based compound feedingstuff, specifying the percentage of each type of product incorporated by position in the nomenclature of agricultural products for export refunds and the exact quantity of maize and other cereals.
2. The Member States shall take all the steps required to ensure the accuracy of the declaration.
The Member States shall notify the Commission, each day before 3 p.m. (Brussels time), of the quantities of cereal-based compound feedingstufs in respect of which licences have been applied for.
This notification shall distinguish between applications with export refund or export tax and applications without refund.
The notification shall also state the maximum quantities of cereals incorporated in the compound feedingstuffs as shown on the applications for export licences.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86 of 22 December 1986 on common rules for imports of certain textile products originating in third countries (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 718/89 (2), and in particular Article 11 thereof,
Whereas Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86 lays down the conditions under which quantitative limits may be established; whereas imports into Spain of textile products of category 3 specified in the Annex hereto and originating in Pakistan exceeded the level referred to in paragraph 3 of the said Article 11;
Whereas, in accordance with paragraph 5 of the said Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86, Pakistan was notified on 20 December 1988 of a request for consultations; whereas, as a result of these consultations, it was agreed to make the textile products in question subject to quantitative limits for the years 1989 to 1991;
Whereas paragraph 13 of the said Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86 ensures that the quantitative limits are observed by means of a double-checking system in accordance with Annex VI to the said Regulation;
Whereas the products in question exported from Pakistan between 1 January 1989 and the date of entry into force of this Regulation must be set off against the quantitative limit for the year 1989;
Whereas this quantitative limit should not prevent the importance of products covered by it shipped from Pakistan to Spain before the date of entry into force of this Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textile Committee,
Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 2, imports into Spain of the category of products originating in Pakistan and specified in the Annex hereto shall be subject to the quantitative limits set out in that Annex.
1. Products as referred to in Article 1, shipped from Pakistan to Spain before the date of entry into force of this Regulation and not yet released for free circulation, shall be so released subject to the presentation of a bill of lading or other transport document proving that shipment actually took place before that date.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 97/69 (1) of 16 January 1969 on measures to be taken for uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff, as last amended by the Act (2) annexed to the Treaty on the accession of new Member States to the European Economic Community and the European Atomic Energy Community, signed at Brussels on 22 January 1972, and in particular Article 3 thereof;
Whereas provision must be made to ensure uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff as regards classification of cherries which are provisionally preserved in a mixture of water and ethyl alcohol for use, inter alia, in the manufacture of chocolate products;
Whereas heading No 08.11 of the Common Customs Tariff annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 (3) of 28 June 1968, as last amended by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1615/74 (4) of 25 June 1974, covers "fruit provisionally preserved (for example, by sulphur dioxide gas, in brine, in sulphur water or in other preservative solutions), but unsuitable in that state for immediate consumption";
Whereas the "Explanatory Notes" to the Brussels Nomenclature make it clear that the abovementioned heading No 08.11 applies to fruit which has been treated solely to ensure its provisional preservation during transport or storage prior- to use, provided that it remains unsuitable for immediate consumption in that state ; whereas, consequently, this heading excludes fruit which has been treated in a way which does not make it unsuitable for immediate consumption;
Whereas cherries put up in a mixture of water and ethyl alcohol, with an alcoholic strength sufficient for preservation of the fruit for a limited period, are not thereby rendered unsuitable for immediate consumption ; whereas cherries thus treated cannot fall within heading No 08.11;
Whereas, on the other hand, subheading 2006 B I of the Common Customs Tariff applies to fruit otherwise prepared or preserved, containing added spirit, suitable for immediate consumption;
Whereas it follows that the cherries referred to above must fall within subheading 20.06 B I of the Common Customs Tariff;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Committee on Common Customs Tariff Nomenclature,
Cherries put up in a mixture of water and ethyl alcohol shall be classified as fruit suitable for immediate consumption in the following subheading of the Common Customs Tariff:

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular Article 151 in conjunction with Annex XV, Title VII(E)(4) thereof, and to the amendments to the Treaties on which the European Union is founded,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concerning additives in feedingstuffs (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 98/19/EC (2), and in particular Article 11(3) thereof,
Whereas Sweden was authorised under Annex XV to the Act of Accession to maintain its legislation in force before accession until 31 December 1998 with regard to the prohibition of the use in feedingstuffs of additives belonging to the groups of growth promoters; whereas on 10 April 1997 and 2 February 1998 it submitted applications for adjustments in respect of carbadox and olaquindox, accompanied by detailed scientific reasoning; whereas the Commission is required to take a decision on the adjustment applications submitted by Sweden not later than 31 December 1998;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 11 of Directive 70/524/EEC, a Member State which, as a result of new information or of a reassessment of existing information made since the provisions in question wee adopted, has detailed grounds for establishing that the use of one of the additives listed in the Directive constitutes a danger to animal or human health or the environment may temporarily suspend the authorisation to use that additive;
Whereas the Kingdom of the Netherlands prohibited the use on its territory of carbadox in feedingstuffs on 6 September 1997; whereas it communicated the detailed grounds for that decision to the other Member States and the Commission on 18 July 1997;
Whereas by virtue of Article 3a(b) of Directive 70/524/EEC authorisation of a substance is not to be given if, in view of its conditions of use, it has an adverse effect on human or animal health;
Whereas the Commission has consulted the Scientific Committee on Animal Nutrition (SCAN) on whether, based on the information given to the Commission, use of the quinoxaline-N-dioxides carbadox and olaquindox presented a risk to consumers, to operators or to the animal itself;
Whereas, having studied the information supplied to the Commission, SCAN noted in its opinion issued on 10 July 1998 that it was maintaining its previous opinions on the acceptability of the quinoxaline-N-dioxides carbadox and olaquindox, within their previously defined conditions of use;
Whereas, however, SCAN has acknowledged that neither of these two substances has had an ideal safety profile in laboratory animal tests and that it is unlikely that other additives with such genotoxic properties will be developed in future;
Whereas SCAN acknowledged that carbadox was genotoxic and carcinogenic for rodents and that olaquindox was genotoxic and tumorigenic for rodents;
Whereas SCAN notes, and the Commission for its part fully agrees, that the possible exposure of workers is undoubtedly a risk, since they are exposed to the parent molecules; whereas individuals changing air filter mats in feed plants are at special genotoxic or carcinogenic risk following possible exposure through the skin or by inhalation; whereas the possibility of absorbing the parent substance by individuals exposed to the additives in the factory or on farm exists;
Whereas SCAN is aware that many conditions must be met before these substances can be safely used; whereas SCAN would like to know if these conditions are met in practice; whereas SCAN recommends in particular that exposure to carbadox and olaquindox in the workplace be re-evaluated and that epidemiological studies of the health status of additive-exposed workers be carried out;
Whereas the Commission, for its part, believes that it is not possible to set a threshold for a genotoxic additive below which it presents no risk to the consumer, since even a small quantity of residues of the additive can provoke a tumour-inducing mutation; whereas a time limit for withdrawal that will ensure consumer safety cannot therefore be fixed;
Whereas the Commission believes that precise description of the composition of the preparations and recommendations to wear masks and protective clothing are not sufficient to guarantee the protection of operators at plant or farm level; whereas cases have indeed been reported to the Commission of livestock farmers who, lacking protection, have been exposed through inhalation or skin contact to the genotoxic and potentially carcinogenic parent substances;
Whereas, in view of their possible adverse effect on human health, the authorisations for the growth promoters carbadox and olaquindox should be withdrawn;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Feedingstuffs,
The entries in Annex B to Directive 70/524/EEC for the following growth promoters are deleted:
'- Carbadox,
- Olaquindox`.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall apply from 1 January 1999.
However, in case a Member State has not banned conforming to the Community law at the date of the entering into force of this Regulation one or more of the growth promoters referred to in Article 1 of this Regulation, this or these growth promoters remain authorised in this Member State until 31 August 1999.

Whereas a realignment of central rates under the European Monetary System has occured with effect from 7 April 1986;
Whereas the greatest revaluation against the ECU is 4,679 %, whereas the correcting factor should be adjusted accordingly;
Whereas the mesaures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the relevant Management Committees,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2253/88 (2), and in particular Article 42 (6) thereof,
Whereas the measures implemented to support the wine market have not fully produced the results expected; whereas, in particular, the representative prices for table wine of types A I, A II, A III, R I and R II have remained lower than the respective activating prices; whereas, therefore, the first condition laid down in Article 42 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 for the adoption of additional measures applicable to holders of long-term storage contracts is satisfied; whereas the second condition, namely that the representative price should remain lower than the activating price for three consecutive weeks, is likely to be fulfilled for table wine of types A I, A II, A III, R I and R II during the reference period;
Whereas, in view of the market situation, distillation as provided for in Article 42 (2) should be opened for a quantity enabling at the same time stocks to be reduced and sound conditions to be restored on the market, both of which are vital for proper management; whereas, to the same end, the storage of the wine in question as provided for in that Article should be permitted for a period of four months;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2721/88 (3) lays down detailed rules for the application of voluntary distillation as provided for in Articles 38, 41 and 42 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2720/88 (4) fixes the prices and the aid applicable to distillation as provided for in Article 42 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 for the 1988/89 wine year;
Whereas storage contracts must be concluded in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1059/83 of 29 April 1983 on storage contracts for table wine, grape must, concentrated grape must and rectified concentrated grape must (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3949/86 (6); whereas, in order to be able to take account of changes in the market situation, provision should be made for the possibility of terminating contracts;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
1. The additional measures provided for in Article 42 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 shall apply for the 1988/89 wine year.
2. Holders of long-term storage contracts for the 1987/88 wine year for table wine of types A I, A II, A III, R I and R II may, in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 2721/88:
(a) undertake distillation of a quantity of table wine covered by a contract of up to 7 % of the total quantity of table wine which they produced in the 1987/88 wine year;
(b) conclude one or more storage contracts for a period of four months under the conditions laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 1059/83 for all or part of the quantity of table wine covered by a contract exceeding 7 % of the total quantity of table wine which they produced during the 1987/88 wine year.
1. Contracts as referred to in Article 1 (2) (b) shall be concluded not later than 15 January 1989.
If a holder of a long-term storage contract decides to take advantage of the possibility laid down in Article 1 (2) (b) in respect of all the wine covered by a long-term storage contract, the intervention agency may extend the old contract for the new period by altering the relevant wording.
2. In the case of storage contracts as referred to in Article 1 (2) (b), the amount of the aid shall be that laid down for long-term storage contracts for the 1987/88 wine year.
3. Storage contracts as referred to in Article 1 (2) (b) shall be terminated at the request of the producers concerned.
In that case:
- the storage aid shall remain payable for the period during which the wine was placed under such a contract,
- wine covered by the contract may not be distilled as provided for in Article 1 (2) (a).
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

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 the introductory phrase and Article 10(d) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1082/2003 of 23 June 2003 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the minimum level of controls to be carried out in the framework of the system for the identification and registration of bovine animals (2) lays down minimum requirements for such controls.
(2) Experience gained following the implementation of the on-the-spot inspection laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1082/2003 as reported in the annual reports and the implementation of the on-the-spot check in ovine and caprine animals laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1505/2006 (3) supports a reduction in the percentage of holdings to be inspected each year and on the animals to be checked. As a general rule, all animals on a holding should be covered by the checks. However, for holdings with more than 20 animals the competent authority should be permitted to restrict the checks to an appropriate representative sample of the animals.
(3) In addition, Regulation (EC) No 1082/2003 provides that Member States are to submit an annual report to the Commission, in accordance with the model set out in Annex I thereto, giving details of the implementation of those controls.
(4) The collection of the data for the annual report should be adequate and proportionate to the objectives pursued. For the sake of a more targeted and proportionate reporting, certain requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1082/2003, as well as the model set out in Annex I thereto, should be simplified to better provide with the relevant information of the implementation of the controls.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 1082/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Agricultural Funds,
Regulation (EC) No 1082/2003 is amended as follows:
(1) in Article 2, paragraphs 1 and 2 are replaced by the following:
(2) Article 3 is replaced by the following:
(3) in Article 5(1), point (b) is replaced by the following:
‘(b) the number of holdings that have been checked;’;
(4) Annex I is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation. Article 10 of that Regulation provides for the re-evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2).
(2) The preparation of Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415 was authorised without a time limit in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as a feed additive for use on calves by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1288/2004 (3), for sows by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1200/2005 (4), for piglets by Commission Regulation (EC) No 252/2006 (5), for pigs for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 943/2005 (6), and for cats and dogs by Commission Regulation (EC) No 102/2009 (7). That preparation was subsequently entered in the Register of feed additives as an existing product, in accordance with Article 10(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) The preparation was also authorised for 10 years for chickens for fattening by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 361/2011 (8).
(4) In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 of that Regulation, an application was submitted for the re-evaluation of preparation of Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415 as a feed additive for calves, cats and dogs and, in accordance with Article 7 of that Regulation, for a new use for kids, requesting that additive to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinions of 29 January 2013 (9) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415 does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that its use increases final body weight and/or daily weight gain in calves for rearing and fattening and that can be extrapolated to kids for rearing and fattening. It also recognised that the preparation has a beneficial effect in dogs by increasing the intestinal or serum concentration of IgA. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(6) Since small but significant effects on faecal quality were observed in cats, it was considered sufficient to confirm the efficacy in this species.
(7) The assessment of the preparation of Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415 shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that additive should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(8) As a consequence of the granting of a new authorisation under Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, Regulation (EC) No 102/2009 should be repealed and Regulation (EC) No 1288/2004 should be amended accordingly.
(9) Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of authorisation, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the authorisation.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Authorisation
The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional groups ‘gut flora stabilisers’ and ‘other zootechnical additives’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Repeal of Regulation (EC) No 102/2009
Regulation (EC) No 102/2009 is repealed.
Amendment to Regulation (EC) No 1288/2004
In Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1288/2004 the entry on E 1705, Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415 is deleted.
Transitional measures
The preparation specified in Annex as far as its use for calves is concerned, and feed containing that preparation, which are produced and labelled before 19 May 2014 in accordance with the rules applicable before 19 November 2013 may continue to be placed on the market and used until the existing stocks are exhausted.
The preparation specified in Annex as far as its use for cats and dogs is concerned, and feed containing that preparation, which are produced and labelled before 19 November 2015 in accordance with the rules applicable before 19 November 2013 may continue to be placed on the market and used until the existing stocks are exhausted.

(4) It is appropriate, by analogy, to bring the Sisnet Financial Regulation into line with the Community Financial Regulation, whilst simplifying the internal procedures within the Council Secretariat, in particular by abolishing the role of the financial controller and where appropriate replacing his functions by those of the internal auditor established by Article 85 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002.
(5) Current procedures should also be made smoother and more appropriate to actual practice, for instance by adapting deadlines in respect of calls for funds and payments, and updating some provisions in the current procedural or legislative frameworks.
(6) The Sisnet Financial Regulation was amended by Council Decision 2007/155/EC (5) and Council Decision 2008/319/EC in order to allow Switzerland to participate in the Sisnet budget. Switzerland should also be allowed to participate in possible future activities of the Advisory Committee.
(7) The proposed amendments have no financial impact on the Member States’ contributions to the Sisnet budget,

Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), and in particular Articles 3(3) and 3a(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Avian influenza is an infectious viral disease of poultry and other captive birds with a severe impact on the profitability of poultry farming causing disturbance to intra-community trade and export to third countries.

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation. Article 10(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 10(1) to (4) thereof sets out specific provisions for the evaluation of products used in the Union as silage additives at the date that Regulation became applicable.
(2) In accordance with Article 10(1)(b) and Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, the micro-organisms Lactobacillus plantarum (NCIMB 41028) and Lactobacillus plantarum (NCIMB 30148) were entered in the Community Register of Feed Additives as existing products belonging to the functional group of silage additives, for all animal species.
(3) In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 thereof, applications were submitted for the authorisation of the micro-organisms Lactobacillus plantarum (NCIMB 41028) and Lactobacillus plantarum (NCIMB 30148) as feed additives for all animal species, requesting those additives to be classified in the category ‘technological additives’ and in the functional group ‘silage additives’. Those applications were accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(4) The applications concern the authorisation of the micro-organisms Lactobacillus plantarum (NCIMB 41028) and Lactobacillus plantarum (NCIMB 30148) as feed additives for all animal species, to be classified in the additive category ‘technological additives’.
(5) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 13 December 2011 (2) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the micro-organisms Lactobacillus plantarum (NCIMB 41028) and Lactobacillus plantarum (NCIMB 30148) do not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that these micro-organisms have the potential to improve the production of silage from all forages by increasing the preservation of dry matter and reducing the loss of protein. The Authority also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additives in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(6) The assessment of the micro-organisms Lactobacillus plantarum (NCIMB 41028) and Lactobacillus plantarum (NCIMB 30148) shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of those micro-organisms should be authorised as specified in the Annexes to this Regulation.
(7) Since modifications to the conditions of authorisation of the micro-organisms Lactobacillus plantarum (NCIMB 41028) and Lactobacillus plantarum (NCIMB 30148) are introduced and as there are no direct immediate effects on safety, a reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before authorisation in order to allow the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the authorisation. In addition, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for the disposal of existing stocks of those micro-organisms and of feed containing them.
(8) It is disproportionately complex for operators to adapt repeatedly and from one day to the other labels of feed containing different additives which have been successively authorised according to the procedure laid down in Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 and for which new labelling rules are to be complied with. It is therefore appropriate to reduce the administrative burden on the operators by providing a period of time allowing a smooth conversion of labelling.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The micro-organism specified in Annex I, belonging to the additive category ‘technological additives’ and to the functional group ‘silage additives’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
The micro-organism specified in Annex II, belonging to the additive category ‘technological additives’ and to the functional group ‘silage additives’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Labelling requirements
Feed containing the micro-organisms referred to in Article 1 and in Article 2 shall be labelled in accordance with this Regulation at the latest by 19 May 2013.
However, feed containing the micro-organisms referred to in Article 1 and in Article 2 which has been labelled in accordance with the previous conditions of authorisation before 19 May 2013 may continue to be placed on the market until stocks are exhausted.
Transitional measures
Existing stocks of the micro-organisms referred to in Article 1 and in Article 2 and of feed containing them at the date of entry into force of this Regulation may continue to be placed on the market and used under the previous conditions of authorisation until they are exhausted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 19 November 2012.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3311/92 of 9 November 1992 on special measures for farmers affected by the 1991/92 drought in Portugal
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 42 and 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas Portugal suffered a severe drought between autumn 1991 and spring 1992 resulting, on the one hand, in cereals harvest losses which may be almost total in certain regions, and, on the other, in particularly high additional costs for the feeding of cattle, sheep, goats and horses in certain regions; whereas, in order to mitigate the resulting loss of income to the producers concerned, special aid schemes should be provided for; whereas detailed rules for such schemes should be laid down;
Whereas the spring drought has a smaller effect on late-harvest cereals, such as maize and sorghum; whereas the aid should accordingly be restricted to winter cereals; whereas durum wheat already benefits from large amounts of aid per hectare independent of output; whereas the aid should therefore be restricted to common wheat, barley, rye and triticale;
Whereas, in the case of cereals, the aid should be restricted to producers with low productivity; whereas aid payable to such producers should be determined on the basis of their production losses and the production costs for the various cereals;
Whereas, in the case of stockfarmers, provision should be made for special aid for producers holding suckler cows, ewes and she-goats, and for small milk producers in the regions affected; whereas the aid should be limited to an amount sufficient to compensate expenditure on the purchase of fodder supplements during the period when, in normal years, there is sufficient grass growth to supply the basic feed needs of the animals concerned;
Whereas, as regards compensation to stockfarmers for additional costs, a list of regions should be drawn up according to the severity of the drought therein, on the basis of the shortage of rainfall compared with normal levels and the effects of exceptionally high temperatures; whereas the maximum aid authorized should be limited in accordance with the severity of the drought and on the basis of the animal species concerned;
Whereas, in order to allow rapid payment of the aid, the Community suckler cow, ewe and she-goat premiums granted for the 1991 marketing year should be taken as the individual reference figure; whereas, however, provision should be made for new producers who did not submit an application for the 1991 marketing year;
Whereas the economic consequences of the drought could slow down the integration of Portuguese agriculture into the common organization of the markets; whereas, in order to support Portuguese efforts to overcome the difficulties, the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF), guarantee section, should make a financial contribution to the aid in question not exceeding the appropriations entered for the purpose in the general budget of the European Communities;
Whereas the Portuguese Republic should be authorized to grant aid from the national budget for producers holding horses in the regions most severely affected by the drought,
TITLE I Measures to assist cereals producers
1. The Portuguese Republic is hereby authorized to grant special aid to producers of common wheat, barley, rye and triticale particularly affected by the severe drought which prevailed in Portugal during the period from autumn 1991 to spring 1992.
2. Cereals producers who obtained an average per hectare of less than 1 000 kg of common wheat, 850 kg of barley and triticale and 650 kg of rye on their holdings in 1992 shall be considered to be particularly affected.
Farmers who submitted a crop declaration under the special aid scheme provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 3653/90 of 11 December 1990 introducing transitional measures governing the common organization of the market in cereals and rice in Portugal (3) and, in duly substantiated cases, other farmers who can prove that their cereals crops have been affected shall be eligible for the aid.
1. The aid per hectare shall not exceed:
- ECU 215/hectare for common wheat,
- ECU 165/hectare for barley and triticale, and
- ECU 120/hectare for rye.
2. The aid must be granted in such a way that producers particularly affected who have obtained an output per cereal of less than the quantities specified in Article 1 (2) shall be entitled to part thereof. In that case, the amounts stated in the foregoing paragraph shall be reduced in proportion to the difference between the actual yield obtained and the figures specified in Article 1 (2).
Where necessary, the detailed rules for giving effect to this Title, in particular those relating to controls, shall be laid down in accordance with the procedure set out in Article 26 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (4).
TITLE II Measures to assist stockfarmers
The Portuguese Republic is hereby authorized to grant special aid to producers holding suckler cows, dairy cows, ewes and she-goats in regions affected by the severe drought which prevailed in Portugal during the period from autumn 1991 to spring 1992 who undertake to keep the herd or flock until at least 31 December 1992.
For the purposes of this Regulation:
- the particularly affected regions shall be as listed in Annex I,
- the very severely affected regions shall be as listed in Annex II,
- the severely affected regions shall be as listed in Annex III.
Where Article 5 applies, aid may be granted to producers holding suckler cows who received, for 1991, the suckler cow premium introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 1357/80 (5). When the number of suckler cows held at 1 September 1992:
- is equal to the number for which the premium was granted for 1991, the aid may be granted for no more than that number of animals,
- is less than the number of animals for which the premium was granted for 1991, the aid shall be granted for that lower number,
- is greater than the number of animals for which the premium was granted for 1991, the aid shall be granted for that higher number, provided that the animals were already held at 1 January 1992 and subject to appropriate checks by the competent authorities.
Aid may also be paid to producers holding suckler cows as referred to in Article 5 who did not receive the suckler cow premium for the 1991 marketing year but who can prove to the satisfaction of the competent authorities that they actually held suckler cows likely to have been eligible under Regulation (EEC) No 1357/80 at least for the period 1 January to 1 September 1992. The aid may be granted for no more than that number of suckler cows.
Where Article 5 applies, aid may be granted to producers delivering or directly selling milk or milk products whose individual reference quantities as referred to in Article 5 (c) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (6) are not more than 60 000 kg. The aid shall be granted only to producers within the particularly affected regions or very severely affected regions referred to in the first and second indents of the second paragraph of Article 5 who can prove to the satisfaction of the competent authorities that they actually held dairy cows at least for the period 1 January to 1 September 1992. The aid may be granted for no more than that number of dairy cows. The number of dairy cows eligible for calculation of the aid shall not in any case exceed 17.
Whereas Article 5 applies, aid may be granted to producers holding ewes or she-goats who received the premium referred to in Article 5 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 of 25 September 1989 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (7) for the 1992 marketing year. The aid may be granted for no more than the number of eligible ewes or she-goats, subject to an appropriate check by the competent authorities.
1. The aid shall not exceed:
(a) in particularly affected regions, ECU 145 per suckler cow, ECU 14,5 per ewe and ECU 14,5 per she-goat;
(b) in very severely affected regions, ECU 110 per suckler cow, ECU 11 per ewe and ECU 11 per she-goat;
(c) in severely affected regions, the amounts mentioned in (b), less 32 %;
(d) in particularly or very severely affected regions, ECU 75 per dairy cow.
2. If the animals were not present for the whole of the period 1 January to 1 May 1992 in the regions referred to in Article 5, the maximum amounts set out in the foregoing paragraph shall be reduced in proportion to the time during which they were present.
0
Where necessary, the Commission may lay down detailed rules to give effect to this Title in accordance with the procedure set out in Article 27 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (8) in the case of suckler cows, Article 30 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 in the case of dairy cows and Article 30 of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 in the case of ewes or she-goats.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1710/95 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1616/98 (4), lays down transitional measures, valid until 30 June 1999, concerning the special arrangements on importation of bran, sharps and other residues of the sifting, milling or other working of certain cereals originating in Algeria, Morocco or Egypt, in preparation for implementation of the Agreement on agriculture concluded in the context of the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations;
Whereas, in accordance with the Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Arab Republic of Egypt (5), the variable component of the import levy on bran, sharps and other residues of the sifting, milling or other working of cereals under subheading 23.02A of the Common Customs Tariff is reduced provided Egypt levies a charge on exports; whereas that subheading includes, in addition to CN codes 2302 30 10 to 2302 40 90, CN codes 2302 10 10, 2302 10 90, 2302 20 10 and 2302 20 90; whereas, by mistake, those codes are not referred to in Regulation (EC) No 1710/95; whereas that Regulation should, therefore, be amended;

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 of 13 February 1993 on the common organization of the market in bananas (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 (2), and in particular Article 12 (6) and Article 14 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 796/95 (4), lays down detailed rules for applying Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 as regards the aid scheme to compensate for loss of income from marketing in the banana sector;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93, the compensatory aid is calculated on the basis of the difference between the flat-rate reference income and the average production income from bananas produced and marketed in the Community in a given year; whereas supplementary aid is granted in one or more producer regions where average income from production is significantly lower than the average Community income;
Whereas prices for bananas produced and marketed in the Community in 1996 were such that the average price for delivery to the first port of unloading in the rest of the Community, less the average costs of transport and delivery fob, is less than the flat-rate reference income fixed in Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93; whereas the compensatory aid for 1996 should be fixed accordingly;
Whereas the annual average production income from marketing bananas produced in Guadeloupe and Portugal proved significantly lower than the Community average in 1996; whereas supplementary aid should accordingly be granted in those two producer regions;
Whereas, furthermore, the unit amounts of advances and the corresponding security depend on the rate of aid fixed for the preceding year pursuant to Article 4 (2) and (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93;
Whereas the aid for 1996 is relatively high and prices for Community bananas are currently increasing; whereas, from the economic viewpoint, the unit amount of advances should not be set at a high level which could prove exorbitant when the aid for the year is determined; whereas the rate of advances applying in 1996 appears justified;
Whereas, since all the data required were not available, the compensatory aid for 1996 could not be determined earlier; whereas provision should be made for payment of the balance of the aid within two months of the date of publication of this Regulation; whereas, given the above, the Regulation should enter into force on the day following its publication;
Whereas the Management Committee for Bananas has not issued an opinion within the time limit laid down by its Chairperson,
1. The compensatory aid provided for in Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 for bananas covered by CN code ex 0803, excluding plantains, produced and marketed fresh in the Community in 1996 shall be ECU 29,05 per 100 kg.
2. The aid fixed in paragraph 1 shall be increased by ECU 3,78 per 100 kg for bananas produced in the producer regions of Portugal and by ECU 5,86 per 100 kg for bananas produced in Guadeloupe.
3. Notwithstanding Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93, advances for bananas marketed from January to October 1997 shall be ECU 19,03 per 100 kg. The corresponding security shall be ECU 9,51 per 100 kg.
Notwithstanding Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93, the competent authorities of the Member States shall pay the balance of the compensatory aid in respect of 1996 within two months of the entry into force of this Regulation.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Having regard to the draft Regulation presented by the Commission,
Whereas Community supplies of deep-frozen fillets and minced blocks of Alaska pollack (Theragra chalcogramma) and of certain species of hake currently depend on imports from third countries; whereas it is in the Community's interest to suspend partially the Common Customs Tariff duty for the products in question, within Community tariff quotas of an appropriate volume; whereas, in order not to jeopardize the development prospects of this production in the Community and to ensure an adequate supply to satisfy user industries, it is advisable to open these quotas for the period until 31 December 1987, at a duty rate of 8 %, and to fix the volume thereof at 15 000 and 20 000 tonnes, respectively;
Whereas, in particular, equal and continuous access to the quotas should be ensured for all Community importers and the rate of duty for the tariff quotas should be applied consistently to all imports until the quotas are exhausted; whereas, in the light of these principles, arrangements for the utilization of the tariff quotas based on an allocation among Member States would seem to be consistent with the Community nature of the quotas; whereas, to correspond as closely as possible to the actual trend in the market in the products in question, allocation of the quotas should be in proportion to the requirements of the Member States as calculated by reference to statistics of imports from third countries during a representative reference period and to the economic outlook for the quota period in question;
Whereas, in the case in point, there are no statistical data broken down by quality of products in question; whereas the quotas are autonomous Community tariff quotas intended to cover import needs arising in the Community, and so the quota volumes may be allocated on the basis of the temporary requirements as regards imports from third countries expressed by each of the Member States; whereas these arrangements for allocation will also ensure the uniform application of the Common Customs Tariff;
Whereas, to take account of possible import trends for the products concerned, the quota volumes should be divided into two instalments, the first being allocated among certain Member States and the second held as a reserve to meet subsequent requirements of Member States which have used up their initial shares and any additional requirements which might arise in the other Member States; whereas, to give importers of the Member States some degree of certainty, the first instalment of the Community tariff quotas should be set at a relatively high level, which in this case could be 80 % of the quota volumes;
Whereas initial shares may be used up at different rates; whereas, to avoid disruption of supplies on this account, it should be provided that any Member State which has almost used up one of its initial shares should draw an additional share from the corresponding reserve; whereas, each time its additional share is almost used up, a Member State should draw a further share, and so on as many times as the reserve allows; whereas the initial and additional shares must be valid until the end of the quota period; whereas this form of administration requires close collaboration between the Member States and the Commission, and the latter must be in a position to keep account of the extent to which the quotas have been used up and to inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any measure concerning the administration of the shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
1. Until 31 December 1987 the Common Customs Tariff duties for the products listed below shall be suspended at the levels and within the limits of the Community tariff quotas indicated for each product:
1.2.3.4.5 // // // // // // Order No // CCT heading No // Description // Amount of tariff quota (tonnes) // Rate of duty (%) // // // // // // // // // // // // 03.01 // Fish, fresh (live or dead), chilled or frozen: // // // // // B.

Fillets: // // // // // b) Frozen: // // // // // ex 9. of hake (Merluccius spp.) (except for species of Merluccius merluccius, Merluccius bilinearis and Merluccius carpensis) intended for processing (1) // // // // // // //
(1) A check shall be made by applying the relevant Community provisions to ensure that the products are used for the specific purpose indicated.
2. Within the limits of these tariff quotas, the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic shall apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions in the Act of Accession.
3. Imports of the products in question shall not be covered by the quotas referred to in paragraph 1 unless the free-at-frontier price, which is determined by the Member States in accordance with Article 21 of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81, is at least equal to the reference price fixed, or to be fixed, by the Community for the products under consideration or the categories of the products concerned.
1. The Community tariff quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be divided into two instalments.
2. A first instalment, of 12 000 tonnes and 16 000 tonnes respectively, shall be allocated among certain Member States; the shares, which, subject to Article 5, shall be valid until 31 December 1987, shall be as follows:
1.2.3 // // // // // Order No 09.2722 // Order No 09.2724 // // // // Benelux // 554 // 640 // Germany // 4 800 // 5 547 // Spain // - // 2 133 // France // 4 800 // 5 547 // United Kingdom // 1 846 // 2 133 // // //
3. The second instalment, of 3 000 tonnes and 4 000 tonnes respectively, shall constitute the reserve.
4. If an importer notifies the imminent import of the products in question into a Member State which does not participate in the initial allocation and requests that the imports be covered by the quota, the Member State concerned shall, by notifying the Commission, draw an amount corresponding to its requirements to the extent that the available balance of the reserve so permits.
1. If a Member State has used 90 % or more of its initial share as fixed in Article 2 (2), or of that share minus any portion returned to the reserve pursuant to Article 5, it shall forthwith, by notifying the Commission, draw a second share, to the extent that the reserve so permits, equal to 10 % of its initial share, rounded up, as necessary to the next whole number.
2. If a Member State, after exhausting its initial share, has used 90 % or more of the second share drawn by it, that Member State shall forthwith, in the manner and to the extent provided in paragraph 1, draw a third share equal to 5 % of its initial share, rounded up, as necessary to the next whole number.
3. If a Member State, after exhausting its second share, has used 90 % or more of the third share drawn by it, that Member State shall, in the manner and to the extent provided in paragraph 1, draw a fourth share equal to the third.
This process shall apply until the reserve is used up.
4. By way of derogation from paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, a Member State may draw shares lower than those specified in those paragraphs if there are grounds for believing that those specified may not be used in full. Any Member State applying this paragraph shall inform the Commission of its grounds for so doing.
Additional shares drawn pursuant to Article 3 shall be valid until 31 December 1987.
Member States shall, not later than 1 October 1987, return to the reserve the unused portion of their initial share which, on 15 September 1987, is in excess of 20 % of the initial volume. They may return a greater portion if there are grounds for believing that it may not be used in full.
Member States shall, not later than 1 October 1987, notify the Commission of the total quantities of the product in question imported up to and including 15 September 1987 and charged against the Community tariff quota, and also of any portion of their initial shares returned to the reserve.
The Commission shall keep an account of the shares opened by the Member States pursuant to Articles 2 and 3 and shall, as soon as the information reaches it, notify each Member State of the extent to which the reserve has been used up.
It shall, not later than 5 October 1987, inform the Member States of the amount still in reserve, following any return of shares pursuant to Article 5.
It shall ensure that the drawing which exhausts the reserve does not exceed the balance available, and to this end shall notify the amount of that balance to the Member State making the last drawing.
1. Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that additional shares drawn pursuant to Article 3 are opened in such a way that imports may be charged without interruption against their accumulated shares of the Community tariff quota.
2. Member States shall ensure that importers of the product in question have free access to the shares allotted to them.
3. Member States shall charge imports of the product in question against their shares as the product is entered with the customs authorities for free circulation.
4. The extent to which a Member State has used up its share shall be determined on the basis of the imports charged in accordance with paragraph 3.
Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular Article 83 thereof,
Having given the Empresa Nacional del Uranio, SA (Spain) the opportunity to express its point of view on the objections raised by the Commission,
Whereas:
I. THE FACTS
This Decision concerns the undeclared export of nuclear material from Spain to the United States of America by Empresa Nacional del Uranio, SA, hereinafter referred to as 'Enusa`, during the month of February 1997.
Enusa is the operator of a nuclear fuel fabrication plant, 'Fรกbrica de Elementos Combustibles de Juzbado`, located in Juzbado, Salamanca (Spain). The nuclear material required for this industrial activity is purchased in the form of uranium dioxide powder which is transported from its suppliers to Juzbado in drums which, after having been emptied, are shipped back to the supplier. A regular supplier of this uranium dioxide is, among others, General Electric in Wilmington, North Carolina (USA), hereinafter referred to as 'GE`.
Following a letter of 19 March 1997 from Enusa to the Euratom Safeguards Directorate of the Commission to which was attached a report made by Enusa relating to the incident which is the subject of this Decision, and the hearing held in Luxembourg in the offices of the Commission on 16 April 1997, the following facts were established and are agreed between Enusa and the Commission:
- during December 1996, six drums containing 13 kilograms of natural uranium, 65 826 grams of uranium enriched to 3,95 %, and 3 675 grams of uranium enriched to 4,4 % needed to be stored on the premises of the installation. The selected storage area was the same hall as that in which Enusa routinely stored full drums received from their uranium dioxide suppliers, and where also such drums are collected after being emptied for shipping back to the original supplier,
- since this storage area was located outside the controlled area, the six drums needed packaging, which was done in a way very similar to the way empty drums are conditioned for shipments as well: the same type of transport containers (three in total) were used for that purpose,
- according to internal procedures, these three full transport containers should have been properly labelled and sealed in order to indicate clearly that they contained nuclear material and were not empty. Also, the transfer to that storage area should have been registered in the plant computer. In this case however, seals were correctly applied but no labels were attached on the transport containers and also the transfer to that storage area was not booked in,
- as a result, the three full transport containers stood in the same room as the empty containers, and this was also the room from where shipments of empty containers were organized. The three abovementioned full containers could therefore only be distinguished from the empty one by the existence of a tiny seal; otherwise the outward appearance was identical,
- during this time a control of the physical existence of articles containing nuclear material was carried out in accordance with internal control procedures. This control revealed that the six drums in question were missing from the process area. Thereupon the employee in charge deleted all six items from the inventory list, an action for which he had the appropriate access rights. He did not report his findings any further,
- when a routine return shipment of 150 containers with empty drums to GE was prepared on 20 January 1997, it passed unnoticed that three of these containers were not empty. The internal procedures required a radiological check of each container but this measurement action of the operator did not reveal the presence of any nuclear material. It was not noticed that the phenomenon of sealed containers without labels was a procedurally incorrect situation, and the seal number on the seals were not checked or reported,
- the three filled containers were shipped together with the empty ones to GE on 5 February 1997.
- following receipt of them, on 7 March 1997 GE noticed that some of the containers were not empty and notified Enusa of its findings. Enusa started an immediate investigation; a first result confirmed the existence of a shipment error,
- on 8 March 1997 Enusa notified the Safeguards Directorate of the Commission of the occurrence,
- on 19 March 1997 Enusa submitted to the Safeguards Directorate of the Commission a special report as provided for by Article 4 (2) of the Particular Safeguards Provisions.
II. LEGAL ASSESSMENT
A. The legal provisions
By virtue of its activities, Enusa is an undertaking falling within the terms of Article 196 (b) of the Treaty. It is therefore subject to the provisions of Chapter 7, Title II, of the Treaty; to Commission Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76 of 19 October 1976 concerning the application of the provisions on Euratom safeguards (1), as last amended by Regulation (Euratom) No 2130/93 (2); and to the Commission Decision of 23 March 1995 laying down the Particular Safeguards Provisions for this undertaking.
Under Article 77 of the Treaty, the Commission must satisfy itself that, in the territories of the Member States:
(a) ores, source materials and special fissile materials are not diverted from their intended uses as declared by the users;
(b) the provisions relating to supply and any particular safeguarding obligations assumed by the Community under an agreement concluded with a third State or an international organization are complied with.
In addition, the Commission also requires, in accordance with Article 79 of the Treaty, that operating records be kept and produced in order to permit accounting for ores, source materials and special fissile materials used or produced. The same requirement applies in the case of the transport of source materials and special fissile materials.
Under Article 10 of Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76, the undertaking must keep accounting records which show, amongst other information, all inventory changes for each material balance area, so as to permit a determination of the book inventory at any time.
Thus, for all inventory changes, the accounting records must show, in respect of each batch of nuclear material, material identification, batch data and source data. These records must account separately for uranium, thorium and plutonium in each batch of nuclear material. Moreover for each inventory change, the date of the inventory change and, when appropriate, the dispatching material balance area and the receiving material balance area or the recipient, must be indicated.
Article 11 of Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76 lays down that, for each material balance area, the operating records shall include, amongst other information, those operating data which are used to establish changes in the quantities and composition of the nuclear material.
Finally, for export activities, Article 24 of Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76 lays down that:
(a) persons and undertakings must give advance notification to the Commission of each export of source or special fissile materials. However, advance notification is required only:
(i) where the consignment exceeds one effective kilogram (3);
(ii) where the Particular Safeguards Provisions so specify, in the case of installations habitually transferring large total quantities of materials to the same State, even though no single consignment exceeds one effective kilogram;
(b) such notification must be given after the conclusion of the contractual arrangements leading to the transfer and in any case in time to reach the Commission eight working days before the material is to be prepared for shipment;
(c) such notification must be given in accordance with the form set out in Annex V to the said Regulation.
As regards the conditions under which advance notification is required for entry and exit operations, the Particular Safeguards Provisions for Enusa established by the Decision of 23 March 1995 lay down that advance notification is also required for exports of less than one effective kilogram.
In addition to this notification, and to allow cross-checks to be carried out, Article 32 of Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76 lays down that any person or undertaking engaged, within the territories of the Member States, in carrying or temporarily storing source or special fissile materials during shipment may accept them, or hand them over only against a duly signed and dated receipt. This must state the names of the parties handing over and receiving the materials and the quantities carried, together with the nature, form and compositions of the materials.
B. The infringements established
Following an examination of the facts acknowledged by Enusa, it has been established that the undeclared export of nuclear material to the United States led to the following infringements being committed:
1. breach of the provisions on the recording of inventory changes laid down in Article 10 (a) of Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76;
2. breach of the provisions on operating records laid down in Article 11 (a) of that Regulation, particularly as regards those operating data which are used to establish changes in the quantities and composition of the nuclear material;
3. failure to give advance notification of export as laid down in Article 24 of that Regulation, in conjunction with code 1.3.2 of the Particular Safeguards Provisions.
Lastly, there has also been a breach of Article 32 of the Regulation. Since it was not notified by Enusa of the quantity, nature and composition of the nuclear material, the carrier was not able to issue the acceptance receipt by means of which verification is possible.
C. The sanction to be applied
Under the terms of Article 83 (1) of the Treaty, in the event of an infringement on the part of persons or undertakings of the obligations imposed on them, the Commission may impose sanctions on such persons or undertakings.
These sanctions are in order of severity:
(a) a warning;
(b) the withdrawal of special benefits such as financial or technical assistance;
(c) the placing of the undertaking for a period not exceeding four months under the administration of a person or board appointed by common accord of the Commission and the State having jurisdiction over the undertaking;
(d) total or partial withdrawal of source materials or special fissile materials.
Given that the determining criterion for application of this Article is the seriousness of the infringement committed, it is first necessary to carry out both an objective and a subjective analysis of the nature of the offences.
From an objective point of view, it appears that the provisions breached are essential elements of Community legislation in the field of safeguards, and that observance of them is essential if the aim set out in Article 77 of the Treaty is to be attained.
Moreover, the facts established made it impossible for the Commission to carry out the task assigned to it in Article 2 (e) of the Treaty, namely to 'make certain, by appropriate supervision, that nuclear materials are not diverted to purposes other than those for which they are intended`.
It should be noted here that the Commission attaches particular importance to the control of exports of nuclear materials, especially in cases where they could be enriched to levels where it would be of strategic value.
From a subjective point of view, it seems that there was no ulterior motive behind the actions and that these should not be seen as a form of diversion. Also, the inspectors of the Commission established that the facts occurred primarily as a result of non-compliance with internal working procedures due to human error of individual employees of Enusa. These working procedures can be improved further. However, it is observed that had they been followed correctly, the facts could not have occurred.
Moreover, there have been no problems of substance since the Commission started applying safeguards in the installation in 1986. At each annual inventory verification of materials held, only minimal differences between the physical inventory and the book inventory were determined. The operator consistently showed an attitude of attention and awareness of matters concerning the safeguards.
In assessing both the objective and the objective factors set out above the Commission considers that the infringement committed by Enusa is such that a sanction is warranted.
Given the circumstances, in particular that there are no special benefits to Enusa such as financial or technical assistance, the Commission is of the view that the appropriate sanction to impose is that laid down in Article 83 (1) (a) of the Treaty.
Finally, the warning of the Commission should set out the action to be taken by Enusa to preclude events of this nature in the future, all the more so since Enusa carries out such container transfer operations on a regular basis, and intends to continue doing so.
To this end Enusa shall provide the Commission within three months following this warning with a report on the actions it has undertaken in the following fields:
1. the procedures of personnel training;
2. the definition of access rights in the computer system used for nuclear materials accountancy;
3. the internal provisions that influence how to make the proper distinction between empty and full containers;
4. the procedures and practical tools used for physical verifications of incoming/outgoing material;
5. the documentation and proper application of any modifications and improvements on points 1 to 4.
Moreover, the Commission's inspectors should be enabled to verify their implementation by one or more inspections of the situation of all five abovementioned points so that they may drawn up an assessment report,
Empresa Nacional del Uranio, SA has infringed Article 79 of the Euratom Treaty as implemented by Articles 10, 11 and 24 of Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76 and in code 3.1.2. of the Commission Decision of 23 March 1995 on Particular Safeguards Provisions, through:
(a) its failure to give advance notification of an export;
(b) its breach of the regulations on recording inventory changes;
(c) its breach of the regulations applicable to those operating data which are used to establish changes in the quantities and composition of the nuclear material.
1. The Commission issues a warning to Empresa Nacional del Uranio, SA.
2. The warning is imposed with the requirement that the infringements listed in Article 1 be rectified so that they do not recur during future operations.
3. Based on the report referred to in Article 3 and its own verifications the Commission will assess the compliance of Empresa Nacional del Uranio, SA with the requirement set out in paragraph 2.
4. If Empresa Nacional del Uranio, SA does not provide the Commission with the report referred to in Article 3 (1) or if any of the infringements listed in Article 1 are not rectified, the Commission will consider imposing a further sanction.
1. Empresa Nacional del Uranio, SA shall provide the Commission within three months of the date of notification of this Decision with an implementation report describing the measures taken to rectify the infringements listed in Article 1, and this in the following fields:
(a) the procedures of personnel training;
(b) the definition of access rights in the computer system used for nuclear materials accountancy;
(c) the internal provisions that influence how to make the proper distinction between empty and full containers;
(d) the procedures and practical tools used for physical verifications of incoming/outgoing material;
(e) the documentation and proper application of any modifications and improvements on points (a) to (d).
2. Following receipt of the report, the Commission's inspectors will verify the implementation of points (a) to (e) mentioned in paragraph 1 in Empresa Nactional del Uranio, SA. The Commission's assessment referred to in Article 2 (3) will be based on these verifications.
3. Empresa Nacional del Uranio, SA will grant the Commission's inspectors, in addition to their rights set out in the Treaty, access to all documents, offices and staff, in order to ensure that the verification as mentioned in paragraph 2 can be completed.

(7) For reasons of simplification and logistic efficiency, Member States should be allowed to waive the requirement to mark the contract number on each unit stored where the contracts number is entered in the stores register.
(8) For reasons of administrative efficiency and simplification, taking into account the particular situation for skimmed milk powder storage, the checks provided for in Article 36(6) of Regulation (EC) No 826/2008 should be carried out in respect of at least one half of the contracts. Consequently, a derogation from that Article should be provided for.
(9) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EU) No 1370/2013 the aid for private storage fixed in advance should be based on storage costs and/or other relevant market elements. It is appropriate to set an aid for fixed storage costs for entry and exit of the products concerned and an aid per day of storage for costs for storage and financing.
(10) In accordance with Article 35(3) of Regulation (EC) No 826/2008 and in order to closely follow the use of the measure it is appropriate to specify the deadline for submitting the notifications provided for in Article 35(1)(a) of that Regulation.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty(3),
Whereas:
(1) Council Directive 70/220/EEC of 20 March 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States on measures to be taken against air pollution by emissions from motor vehicles(4), is one of the separate directives under the type-approval procedure laid down by Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers(5).

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 731/2008
of 28 July 2008
derogating from Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 as regards the additional security required for the import of high-quality common wheat
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 143(b) thereof, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 5(1), first subparagraph, point (b) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 of 28 June 1996 on rules of application (cereal sector import duties) for Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 (2), lays down the principle of a specific security for imports of high-quality common wheat, in addition to that required under Commission Regulation (EC) No 1342/2003 of 28 July 2003 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice (3). This additional security of EUR 95 per tonne is justified by the different customs duties on imports in force for different categories of common wheat depending on whether the wheat is of high quality or low and medium quality.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 608/2008 suspended customs duties on imports of certain cereals for the 2008/09 marketing year (4), which ends on 30 June 2009, while allowing them to be reintroduced before that date should the market situation so warrant.
(3) The temporary suspension of customs duties in respect of imports carried out on the basis of import licences issued from 1 July 2008, in accordance with Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 608/2008, has meant the temporary removal of the specific circumstances justifying the establishment of a system of specific securities additional to those inherent in import licences. In view of those new conditions applicable to imports of common wheat since the entry into force of Regulation (EC) No 608/2008, the additional security of EUR 95 per tonne as provided for in the second subparagraph of Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 can no longer be justified until such time as customs duties on imports are reinstated.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 should therefore be derogated from and this Regulation should apply on the same date as that established for the suspension of custom duties (i.e. 1 July 2008), to avoid operators having to lodge the additional security.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
By way of derogation from Article 5(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1249/96, the additional security referred to in the said provision shall not be required during the period of suspension of customs duties on imports of common wheat as established by Regulation (EC) No 608/2008.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 July 2008.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 1009/67/EEC of 18 December 1967 on the common organization of the market in sugar (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2485/69 (2), and in particular Article 5 (3) thereof,
Whereas Article 5 (1) of Regulation 1009/67/EEC requires sugar manufacturers buying beet suitable for processing into sugar and intended for processing into sugar within the maximum quota to pay at least the minimum price adjusted by price increases or reductions to allow for deviations from the standard quality;
Whereas the quality, and hence the value, of sugar beet largely depends on sugar content;
Whereas the most appropriate method of establishing the value of beet of a quality differing from the standard quality is to establish a scale of price increases and reductions expressed as a percentage of the minimum price;
Whereas experience acquired by those concerned over a very long period has shown that they should be allowed to include in their contracts or agreements within the trade a definition of beet suitable for processing into sugar ; whereas a Community scale could be laid down for beet regarded throughout the Community as suitable for processing into sugar ; whereas further reductions should be specified where this definition refers to a sugar content below the lowest sugar content on the Community scale ; whereas there should be provision for this definition being drawn up by the Member States where the contracting parties fail to agree on a definition;
Whereas, largely because of climatic conditions, the industrial value of beet grown in Italy differs significantly from that of beet grown in the north of the Community ; whereas, long before the common organization of the market in sugar came into operation, this situation had led to the introduction in that Member State of a specific method of payment ; whereas this method of payment could be retained for the 1968/69 and 1969/70 marketing years ; whereas the Community system of payment for beet must however be applied in Italy as from the 1970/71 marketing year ; whereas the Community system should however take account of the abovementioned difference in the industrial value of the beet;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
1. The minimum price referred to in Article 5 (1) of Regulation No 1009/67/EEC shall, for each 0.10 % of sucrose content, be: (a) increased by not less than: - 0.9 % for contents exceeding 16 % but not exceeding 18 %,
- 0.7 % for contents exceeding 18 % but not exceeding 19 %,
- 0.5 % for contents exceeding 19 % but not exceeding 20 %;
(b) reduced by not more than: - 0.9 % for contents falling below 16 % but not below 15.5 %, (1)OJ No 308, 18.12.1967, p. 1. (2)OJ No L 314, 15.12.1969, p. 6.
- 1 % for contents falling below 15.5 % but not below 14.5 %.
The price for beet with a sucrose content in excess of 20 % shall not be less than the minimum price adjusted for beet with a 20 % sucrose content.
2. In Italy the percentage increases and reductions specified in paragraph 1 (a) and (b) shall be multiplied by a coefficient of 0.75.
1. Contracts, and agreements within the trade within the meaning of Article 6 of Regulation No 1009/67/EEC, may provide for larger increases and smaller reductions than those specified in Article 1. Contracts, and such agreements within the trade, may provide for further increases for sucrose contents above 20 % and for further reductions for sucrose contents below 14.5 %.
2. The contracts and agreements referred to in paragraph 1 may, in the case of beet with a sucrose content below 14.5 %, define beet suitable for processing into sugar, if such contracts and agreements provide for further reductions for sucrose contents below 14.5 % but above the minimum sucrose content specified in that definition.
3. If the definition referred to in paragraph 2 is not included in the contracts and agreements, the Member State concerned may lay down that definition. In that case it shall, at the same time, fix the further reductions referred to in that paragraph.
This Regulation shall apply from the 1970/71 marketing year.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 520/94 of 7 March 1994 establishing a Community procedure for administering quantitative quotas (1), and in particular Article 2 (4) and (5) and Article 10 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 747/94 of 30 March 1994 establishing administration procedures for quantitative quotas on certain products originating in the People's Republic of China (2), and in particular the first indent of Article 1 and the second and third indents of Article 7 (2) thereof,
Whereas the Member States have, in accordance with Article 7 (2) of Regulation (EC) No 747/94, notified the Commission of the import licence applications received for that portion of the abovementioned quotas set aside for non-traditional importers, giving the date and exact time of receipt of each application;
Whereas examination of the applications has shown that those for some products can be met to the predetermined maximum quantity prescribed in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 747/94; whereas, where quota portions have not been exhausted, the Community balance should be specified along with the date from which applicants may, subject to the conditions laid down in Article 12 (3) of Regulation (EC) No 520/94, submit a new licence application;
Whereas owing to the simultaneous receipt of applications substantially exceeding the quota portion to be allocated and to certain implementing problems encountered by the national authorities, however, it has proved impossible to apply the method laid down in Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94 for certain other products;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 2 (4) of Regulation (EC) No 520/94 and with a view to ensuring the optimal use of quotas, an alternative method should be devised whereby each quota portion is allocated in proportion to the number of applications notified to the Commission; whereas this method would however not allow the allocation of economically significant quantities of the products covered by CN code 8527 29; whereas that portion of the quota should therefore be redistributed later in accordance with Article 2 (5) of Regulation (EC) No 520/94;
Whereas the Committee set up under Regulation (EC) No 520/94 has expressed no opinion on the measures contained in this Regulation;
1. The Commission confirms and notifies the Member States that the import licence applications concerning the products listed in Annex I to this Regulation can be met to the predetermined maximum quantities laid down in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 747/94. Any available Community balance is shown for the products covered by the abovementioned Annex I.
2. Within the limits of the available Community balance, importers who have received a licence under paragraph 1 above and can prove that they have actually imported the total quantity of goods for which the licence was issued shall be authorized to submit another licence application to the competent national authorities as from 10 a.m. Brussels time on 15 July.
In accordance with Article 12 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 520/94, this procedure shall apply to the importers in question until the quota is exhausted. The competent national authorities shall notify the Commission as from 15 July at 10 a. m. Brussels time of the applications received in chronological order of receipt.
The Commission shall examine and confirm applications in accordance with the second and third indents of Article 7 (2) of Regulation (EC) No 747/94.
All import licence applications concerning products covered by Annex II to this Regulation shall be met to the quantities specified in that Annex.
Where the implementation of the above Articles would lead to the allocation of a quantity or values in excess of that applied vor, the quantity or value allocated shall be limited to that requested.
