THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular the first alternative of Article 21(3) and Article 78(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Directive 2008/66/EC (2) included bifenox as active substance in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC (3).
(2) Active substances included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC are deemed to have been approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 and are listed in Part A of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (4).
(3) In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 21(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 Belgium submitted a request to the Commission to review the approval of bifenox in the light of new scientific and technical knowledge resulting from information submitted to that Member State by the notifier pursuant to Article 56(1) of that Regulation. That information concerned formation of nitrofen resulting from the application of bifenox.
(4) Belgium assessed the information submitted by the notifier. It submitted its assessment, in the form of an addendum to the draft assessment report, to the other Member States, the Commission and the European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter ‘the Authority’, on 21 March 2013.
(5) In the light of that information the Commission considered that there are indications that bifenox no longer satisfies the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
(6) The Commission invited the notifier to submit its comments.
(7) The Commission has come to the conclusion that, given the fact that under certain environmental conditions the use of bifenox has the potential to form nitrofen a risk for the environment cannot be excluded except by imposing further restrictions.
(8) It is confirmed that the active substance bifenox is to be deemed to have been approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. When assessing applications for authorisation of plant protection products, Member States should pay particular attention to the potential of bifenox to form nitrofen and impose restrictions as regards the conditions of use, where appropriate.
(9) The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(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,

Acting in accordance with Article 251 of the Treaty(3),
Whereas:
(1) The period of applications of the Community scheme referred to in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2158/92(4) expired on 31 December 2001.
(2) Under Article 10(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2158/92, the Commission is required to submit a revision proposal to the European Parliament and the Council before the end of the application period, covering in particular the ecological, economic and social aspects and the results of a cost-benefit analysis.
(3) Since preparation of the proposal is still under way, no proposal can be presented at this stage, and the European Parliament and the Council are consequently not in a position to adopt any new arrangements for continuing the Community scheme for the protection of forests against fire before it reaches the end of its application period.
(4) Continuation of the said Community scheme in 2002 therefore calls for a transitional measure extending its duration for a year.
(5) The financial allocation for the implementation of the said Community scheme, which constitutes the prime 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(5), fixed at EUR 49,4 million in Article 10(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2158/92 should be adjusted in line with the amount entered in the budget for 2002.
(6) Regulation (EEC) No 2158/92 should therefore be amended,
Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 2158/92 shall be replaced by the following: "Article 10
1. The scheme shall run for 11 years from 1 January 1992.
2. The financial allocation for the implementation of the scheme shall be EUR 59,9 million for the period 1997 to 2002.
Annual appropriations shall be authorised by the budgetary authority within the limits of the financial perspective.
3. Before 30 June 2002, the Commission shall submit to the European Parliament and to the Council a report on the application of this Regulation and a proposal for revision covering in particular the ecological, economic and social aspects (qualitative assessment) and the results of a cost-benefit analysis (quantitative assessment)."

of 20 August 2003
on the protection of deep-water coral reefs from the effects of trawling in an area north west of Scotland
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the Common Fisheries Policy(1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002, the common fisheries policy is to apply the precautionary approach in taking measures to minimise the impact of fishing activities on marine ecosystems.
(2) According to recent scientific reports, and in particular the reports of the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea, aggregations of deep-water corals (Lophelia pertusa) have been found and mapped in an area north west of Scotland falling within the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom. Those aggregations, known as the "Darwin Mounds", appear to be in good conservation status but show signs of damage due to bottom-trawling operations.
(3) Scientific reports show that such aggregations constitute habitats that host important and highly diverse biological communities. Those habitats are widely recognised as requiring priority protection. In particular, the Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North-East Atlantic (OSPAR Convention) has recently included deep-water coral reefs in a list of endangered habitats.
(4) Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora(2), as last amended by Directive 97/62/EC(3), includes reefs within the natural habitats of Community interest whose conservation requires the designation of special areas of conservation. The United Kingdom has formally expressed its intention to designate the Darwin Mounds as a special area of conservation with a view to protecting that type of habitat in fulfilment of its obligations under that Directive.
(5) The United Kingdom has called the attention of the Commission to the fact that some trawlers, in pursuing moving concentrations of deep-water fish, may concentrate in the area of the Darwin Mounds and inflict irremediable damage on these deep-water habitats.
(6) The United Kingdom has therefore requested that emergency measures be adopted under Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 to prohibit the use of bottom-trawls in the abovementioned coral aggregations. The United Kingdom has communicated its request to the other Member States, which have not sent any comment to the Commission within the deadline.
(7) In the light of the evidence provided by the United Kingdom, it must be concluded that the conservation of the habitat in question is under serious threat and that immediate action is required. Significant fishing activities using bottom-trawls would continue in the area concerned over the coming months, before any measures could be adopted by the Council; it is therefore appropriate immediately to prohibit with immediate effect the use of bottom-trawls in the abovementioned coral aggregations by way of the emergency measures under Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002,

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Articles 144(1) and 148, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Agreements in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Union and Brazil and between the European Union and Thailand, approved by Council Decision 2012/792/EU (2) provide for new quantities of processed poultry meat to be allocated to Brazil, Thailand and other third countries. It is therefore appropriate to amend Commission Regulation (EC) No 616/2007 (3) to take into account the new quantities.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 616/2007 provides for a specific management method for the tariff quotas based on the origin of the products concerned. The new quotas should be managed in the same way.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 616/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) The Agreements with Brazil and Thailand enter into force on 1 March 2013 while the quotas concerned are opened on an annual basis for the period from 1 July to 30 June. It is therefore appropriate to provide for derogations from certain provisions of Regulation (EC) No 616/2007 as to be amended by this Regulation. In particular, the annual quantity for the quota year 2012/2013 should be reduced on a pro rata basis. Furthermore, as it is not possible to lodge applications in advance for the new quotas to enter into force on 1 March 2013 a single quota period should apply from 1 March 2013 until 30 June 2013 and a derogation should be laid down to the normal application period provided in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 616/2007. The validity period of import licences should be amended accordingly.
(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,

of 13 April 2011
amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC to include diclofop as active substance and amending Commission Decision 2008/934/EC
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 (2) and (EC) No 1490/2002 (3) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the third stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and establish a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list included diclofop.
(2) In accordance with Article 11e of Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002 the notifier withdrew its support of the inclusion of that active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC within 2 months from receipt of the draft assessment report. Consequently, Commission Decision 2008/934/EC of 5 December 2008 concerning the non-inclusion of certain active substances in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing these substances (4) was adopted on the non-inclusion of diclofop.
(3) Pursuant to Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the original notifier (hereinafter the applicant) submitted a new application requesting the accelerated procedure to be applied, as provided for in Articles 14 to 19 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 of 17 January 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included into its Annex I (5).
(4) The application was submitted to France, which had been designated rapporteur Member State by Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002. The time period for the accelerated procedure was respected. The specification of the active substance and the supported uses are the same as were the subject of Decision 2008/934/EC. That application also complies with the remaining substantive and procedural requirements of Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008.
(5) France evaluated the additional data submitted by the applicant and prepared an additional report. It communicated that report to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter the Authority) and to the Commission on 11 August 2009. The Authority communicated the additional report to the other Member States and the applicant for comments and forwarded the comments it had received to the Commission. In accordance with Article 20(1) of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 and at the request of the Commission, the Authority presented its conclusion on diclofop (considered variant diclofop-methyl) to the Commission on 1 September 2010 (6). The draft assessment report, the additional report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 11 March 2011 in the format of the Commission review report for diclofop.
(6) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing diclofop may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which have been examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include diclofop in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing this active substance can be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.
(7) Without prejudice to that conclusion, it is appropriate to obtain further information on certain specific points. Article 6(1) of Directive 91/414/EC provides that inclusion of a substance in Annex I may be subject to conditions. Therefore, it is appropriate to require that the applicant submit further information confirming the results of the risk assessment on the basis of most recent scientific knowledge as regards a metabolism study on cereals. Moreover, it is appropriate to require the submission of confirmatory information on the possible environmental impact of the preferential degradation/conversion of the isomers.
(8) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the inclusion.
(9) Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Directive 91/414/EEC as a consequence of including an active substance in Annex I, Member States should be allowed a period of 6 months after inclusion to review existing authorisations of plant protection products containing diclofop to ensure that the requirements laid down by Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular in its Article 13 and the relevant conditions set out in Annex I, are satisfied. Member States should vary, replace or withdraw, as appropriate, existing authorisations, in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. By derogation from the above deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC.
(10) The experience gained from previous inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (7) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I.
(11) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(12) Decision 2008/934/EC provides for the non-inclusion of diclofop-methyl and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing that substance by 31 December 2011. It is necessary to delete the line concerning diclofop-methyl in the Annex to that Decision.
(13) It is therefore appropriate to amend Decision 2008/934/EC accordingly.
(14) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
The line concerning diclofop-methyl in the Annex to Decision 2008/934/EC is deleted.
Member States shall adopt and publish by 30 November 2011 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 December 2011.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
1. Member States shall in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing diclofop as an active substance by 30 November 2011. By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to that Directive relating to diclofop are met, with the exception of those identified in Part B of the entry concerning that active substance, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive in accordance with the conditions of Article 13 of that Directive.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing diclofop as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by 31 May 2011 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to that Directive and taking into account Part B of the entry in Annex I to that Directive concerning diclofop. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 4(1)(b), (c), (d) and (e) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
Following that determination Member States shall:
(a) in the case of a product containing diclofop as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 May 2015 at the latest; or
(b) in the case of a product containing diclofop as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 May 2015 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective Directive or Directives which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, whichever is the latest.
This Directive shall enter into force on 1 June 2011.

COUNCIL DECISION
of 30 November 2011
establishing the position to be taken by the European Union within the General Council of the World Trade Organization as regards requests for granting and/or extending certain WTO waivers
(2011/810/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 207(4), in conjunction with Article 218(9), thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Article IX of the Marrakesh Agreement establishing the World Trade Organization (WTO Agreement) sets out the procedures for the granting of waivers concerning the Multilateral Trade Agreements in Annex 1A or 1B or 1C to the WTO Agreement and their annexes.
(2) When waiver requests are made in the WTO, often a very limited time-frame is given for the final decision by the relevant WTO body on these requests, while prompt reaction from the WTO Members is required.
(3) It is in the interest of the Union that there be approved in an expeditious manner the requests for granting and/or extending the annual waivers relating to the introduction of the Harmonised Commodity Description and Coding System (so-called Harmonised System, HS) on 1 January 1988, and its first, second, third, fourth and fifth amendments, recommended by the Council of the World Customs Organization, respectively called ‘HS92 changes’ (entered into force on 1 January 1992), ‘HS96 changes’ (entered into force on 1 January 1996), ‘HS2002 changes’ (entered into force on 1 January 2002), ‘HS2007 changes’ (entered into force on 1 January 2007) and ‘HS2012 changes’ (will enter into force on 1 January 2012), as well as future HS amendments, which establish the obligation to introduce these changes to Members’ schedules of concessions (transposing schedules of tariff concessions into the HS nomenclature).
(4) The current waiver allowing Cape Verde to extend the period for the full implementation of Article VII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 (GATT 1994) and of the WTO Agreement on Customs Valuation will expire on 31 December 2011. Any extension of that waiver would be of minimal economic and trade importance to the Union.
(5) The current waiver relating to Canada’s trade preference programme CARIBCAN will expire on 31 December 2011. Any extension of that waiver would be of minimal economic and trade importance to the Union and would also be in line with the Union’s policy to support the economic development of developing countries through trade preferences.
(6) The current waiver allowing Cuba to derogate from paragraph 6 of Article XV GATT 1994 will expire on 31 December 2011. Any extension of that waiver would be of minimal economic and trade importance to the Union.
(7) The current waiver allowing countries participating in the Kimberley Process certification scheme to impose certain restrictions on the trade of so-called ‘blood diamonds’ will expire on 31 December 2011. Any extension of that waiver would be of minimal economic and trade importance to the Union while being of great relevance for its overall trade relations.
(8) It is appropriate, therefore, to establish the position to be taken by the Union within the WTO General Council concerning those waivers,
The position to be taken by the European Union within the General Council of the World Trade Organization is to support the following requests relating to the WTO waivers pursuant to paragraph 3 of Article IX of the WTO Agreement:
(a) requests for granting and/or extending the waivers relating to the introduction of the Harmonised Commodity Description and Coding System (HS) and its amendments from 1992 (‘HS92 changes’), 1996 (‘HS96 changes’), 2002 (‘HS2002 changes’), 2007 (‘HS2007 changes’) and 2012 (‘HS2012 changes’), as well as future HS amendments, which establish the obligation to introduce these changes to Members’ schedules of concessions;
(b) requests for extending the waiver allowing Cape Verde to extend the period for the full implementation of Article VII GATT 1994 and of the WTO Agreement on Customs Valuation;
(c) requests for extending the waiver allowing Canada to grant preferential treatment to selected developing countries (CARIBCAN programme);
(d) requests for extending the waiver allowing Cuba to derogate from paragraph 6 of Article XV GATT 1994;
(e) requests for extending the waiver relating to the Kimberley Process certification scheme.
The Commission shall inform the Council via the Trade Policy Committee sufficiently in advance of any meeting of the relevant WTO body at which a decision may be taken on a request covered by this Decision. Within 10 working days of the date where the Commission has informed the Trade Policy Committee, the Council may request that the procedure for the adoption of an individual Council decision on the waiver request in question be pursued.
This Decision shall enter into force on the day of its adoption. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0.25 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 234/68 1 of 27 February 1968 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in live trees and other plants, bulbs, roots and the like, cut flowers and ornamental foliage, and in particular Article 4 thereof;
Whereas Section VI "Packaging and Presentation" of Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 316/68 2 provides that a unit of presentation must consist of 5, 10 or a multiple of 10 pieces except for flowers normally sold singly or those normally sold by weight;
Whereas the application of this provision does not allow sellers of the products in question to satisfy in full the requirements of certain buyers who wish to have units of presentation at their disposal at fixed prices ; whereas, therefore, the quality standards should be adjusted to take account of new trade requirements;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Management Committee for Live Plants;
1. The following text shall be substituted for the text of Section VI A of Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 316/68:
"A unit of presentation (bunch, bouquet, box and the like) must consist of 5, 10 or a multiple of 10 pieces.
However this rule does not apply to: (a) flowers normally sold singly,
(b) flowers normally sold by weight,
(c) flowers for which seller and buyer agree expressly to derogate from the provisions concerning the number of flowers in a unit of presentation. This derogation is admissible solely for transactions outside wholesale markets on condition that - the goods are the subject of a direct sale, based on a fixed selling-price per unit of presentation, at wholesale level to a retailer or a person acting on behalf of a retailer,
- the goods are accompanied by a bill, delivery note or similar document showing the above-mentioned selling-price,
- the unit of presentation is in the packaging required by the buyer for the ultimate purchaser. This packaging must be such as to permit identification of the goods."
2. The following shall be added to Section VII of Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 316/68:
"F Presentation
If the number of flowers per unit of presentation does not correspond to the provisions of Section IV A, packages must be marked to show the exact composition of the units of presentation contained therein."

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 75 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas the establishment of a common transport policy involves, inter alia, laying down common rules applicable to access to the market in the international carriage of goods by road within the territory of the Community; whereas those rules must be laid down in such a way as to contribute to the attainment of the internal transport market;
Whereas these uniform arrangements for market access also involve introducing the freedom to provide services by eliminating all restrictions imposed on the provider of services because of his nationality or the fact that he is established in a Member State other than that in which the service is to be provided;
Whereas, as regards carriage from a Member State to a non-member country and vice versa, implementation of the freedom to provide services for the journey within the territory of the Member State of loading or unloading should be deferred until appropriate agreements with the non-member countries concerned have been concluded or amended, in order to guarantee compliance with the principle of non-discrimination and equality of conditions of competition between Community carriers;
Whereas, following the Judgment of the Court of Justice of 22 May 1985 in Case 13/83 (4) and the conclusions adopted on 28 and 29 June 1985 by the European Council on the Commission communication on the completion of the internal market, on 21 June 1988 the Council adopted Regulation (EEC) No 1841/88 (5) amending Regulation (EEC) No 3164/76 on access to the market in the international carriage of goods by road (6);
Whereas under Article 4a of Regulation (EEC) No 3164/76 inserted by Regulation (EEC) No 1841/88 from 1 January 1993, Community quotas, bilateral quotas between Member States and quotas for transit traffic to and from non-member countries will be abolished for the types of carriage referred to in that Article, and arrangements for access to a market without quantitative restrictions based on qualitative criteria which hauliers must meet will be introduced;
Whereas these qualitative criteria are laid down principally in Council Directive 74/561/EEC of 12 November 1974 on admission to the occupation of road haulage operator in national and international transport operations, as last amended by Council Directive 89/483/EEC of 21 June 1989 (7);
Whereas pursuant to Article 4b of Regulation (EEC) No 3164/76, as inserted by Regulation (EEC) No 1841/88, the Council must adopt the measures necessary for the implementation of the aforementioned Article 4a;
Whereas with regard to the rules for applying the access arrangements the international carriage of goods by road must be made conditional on the possession of a quota-free Community transport authorization;
Whereas at present, under the First Council Directive of 23 July 1962 on the establishment of common rules for certain types of carriage of goods by road between Member States (8), a certain number of types of carriage are exempt from any quota and carriage authorization system; whereas, within the framework of the new organization of the market introduced by this Regulation, a system of exemption from Community authorization and from any other carriage authorization must be maintained for some of those types of transport, because of their special nature;
Whereas the conditions governing the issue and withdrawal of authorizations and the types of carriage to which they apply, their periods of validity and the detailed rules for their use must be determined,
1. This Regulation shall apply to the international carriage of goods by road for hire or reward for journeys carried out within the territory of the Community.
2. In the event of carriage from a Member State to a non-member country and vice versa, this Regulation shall apply to that part of any journey carried out within the territory of the Member State of loading or unloading, after conclusion of the necessary agreement between the Community and the non-member country concerned.
3. Pending the conclusion of agreements between the Community and the non-member countries concerned, this Regulation shall not affect:
- provisions relating to the carriage referred to in paragraph 2 included in bilateral agreements concluded by Member States with those non-member countries. However, Member States shall endeavour to adapt those agreements to ensure compliance with the principle of non-discrimination between Community hauliers,
- provisions relating to the carriage referred to in paragraph 2 included in bilateral agreements concluded between Member States which either under bilateral authorizations or under liberalization arrangements, allow loading and unloading in a Member State by hauliers not established in that State.
For the purposes of this Regulation:
- 'vehicle' shall mean a motor vehicle registered in a Member State or a coupled combination of vehicles the motor vehicle of which at least is registered in a Member State and which are used exclusively for the carriage of goods,
- international carriage, shall mean:
- a journey undertaken by a vehicle the point of departure and the point of arrival of which are in two different Member States, with or without transit through one or more Member States or non-member countries;
- a journey undertaken by a vehicle from a Member State to a non-member country or vice versa, with or without transit through one or more Member States or non-member countries;
- a journey undertaken by a vehicle between non-member countries, with transit through the territory of one or more Member States;
- an unladen journey in conjunction with such carriage.
1. International carriage shall be carried out subject to Community authorization.
2. Community authorization shall be issued by a Member State, in accordance with Article 5 and 7, to any haulier carrying goods by road for hire or reward who:
- is established in a Member State, hereinafter referred to as the 'Member State of establishment' in accordance with the legislation of that Member State,
- is entitled in that Member State, in accordance with the legislation of the Community and of that State concerning admission to the occupation of road haulage operator to carry out the international carriage of goods by road.
The Community authorization referred to in Article 3 shall replace the document issued by the competent authorities of the Member State of establishment, where such a document exists, certifying that the haulier has been granted access to the market in the international carriage of goods by road.
For carriage falling within the scope of this Regulation it shall also replace both the Community authorizations and the bilateral authorizations exchanged between Member States which are necessary until this Regulation comes into force.
1. The Community authorization referred to in Article 3 shall be issued by the competent authorities of the Member State of establishment.
2. The Member States shall issue the holder with the original of the Community authorization, which shall be kept by the haulage undertaking, and the number of certified true copies corresponding to the number of vehicles at the disposal of the holder of the Community authorization, whether wholly owned or, for example, under hire purchase, hire or leasing contracts.
3. The Community authorization shall correspond to the model set out in of Annex I, which also lays down the conditions governing its use.
4. The Community authorization shall be made out in the haulier's name, he may not transfer it to any third party. A certified true copy shall be kept in the vehicle and must be produced whenever required by an authorized inspecting officer.
The Community authorization shall be issued for a renewable period of five years.
Whenever an application for a Community authorization is lodged, not more than five years after issue and subsequently at least every five years, the competent authorities of the Member State of establishment shall verify whether the haulier satisfies or still satisfies the conditions laid down in Article 3 (2).
1. If the conditions laid down in Article 3 (2) are not satisfied, the competent authorities of the Member State of establishment shall reject an application for the issue or renewal of a Community authorization, by means of a reasoned decision.
2. The competent authorities shall withdraw a Community authorization where the holder:
- no longer satisfies the conditions laid down in Article 3 (2),
- has supplied incorrect information in relation to the data required for the issue of a Community authorization.
3. In the event of serious infringements or repeated minor infringements of carriage regulations, the competent authorities of the Member State of establishment of the haulier who has committed such infringements may inter alia temporarily or partially suspend the certified true copies of the Community authorization.
These sanctions shall be determined having regard to the seriousness of the infringement committed by the holder of the Community authorization and having regard to the total number of certified copies that he holds in respect of international traffic.
The Member States shall guarantee that the applicant or the holder of a Community authorization is able to appeal against any decision by the competent authorities of the Member State of establishment to refuse or withdraw an authorization.
0
By 31 January each year Member States shall inform the Commission of the number of hauliers possessing Community authorizations on 31 December of the previous year and of the number of certified true copies corresponding to the vehicles in circulation at that date.
1
1. The Member States shall give each other mutual assistance in ensuring the application and monitoring of this Regulation.
2. Where the competent authorities of a Member State are aware of an infringement of this Regulation attributable to a haulier from another Member State, the Member State within the territory of which the infringement is established shall inform the competent authorities of the Member State in which the haulier is established and may ask the competent authorities of the Member State of establishment to impose sanctions in accordance with this Regulation.
3. In the event of a serious infringement or repeated minor infringements of carriage regulations, the competent authorities of the Member State in which the haulier is established shall examine the ways in which the sanctions provided for in Article 8 (3) are applied and shall communicate their decision to the competent authorities of the Member State in which the infringements were established.
2
The following shall be repealed:
- Council Regulation (EEC) No 3164/76,
- Article 4 of Council Directive 75/130/EEC of 17 February 1975 on the establishment of common rules for certain types of combined carriage of goods between Member States (9),

1. the title shall be replaced by: 'First Council Directive of 23 July 1962 on the establishment of common rules for certain types of carriage of goods by road';
2. Article 1 shall be replaced by:
'Article 1
1. Under the conditions laid down in paragraph 2, Member States shall liberalize the types of international carriage of goods by road for hire or reward and on own account listed in the Annex where such carriage is performed to or from or in transit through their territory.
2. The types of carriage and unladen journeys made in conjunction with the carriage listed in the Annex shall be exempted from Community authorization and from any carriage authorization';
3. Annex II shall be deleted and the text of Annex I shall be replaced by that appearing in Annex II to this Regulation.

of 29 June 2001

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sugar(1), and in particular Article 27(5)(a) and (15),
Whereas:
(1) Article 27(1) and (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1260/2001 provides that the differences between the prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a), (c), (d), (f), (g) and (h) of that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in the Annex to that Regulation. Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common implementing rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds(2), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2390/2000(3), specifies the products for which a rate of refund should be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001.
(2) In accordance with Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question must be fixed for each month.
(3) Article 27(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 and Article 11 of the Agreement on Agriculture concluded under the Uruguay Round lay down that the export refund for a product contained in a good may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing.
(4) The refunds fixed under this Regulation may be fixed in advance as the market situation over the next few months cannot be established at the moment.
(5) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardized by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(6) Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 does not provide for the compensation system for storage costs to be extended after 1 July 2001. This should therefore be taken into account when fixing the amounts of refunds, in particular with regard to the advance-fixing options.
(7) It is necessary to ensure continuity of strict management taking account of expenditure forecasts and funds available in the budget.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products appearing in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 and listed in Article 1(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, exported in the form of goods listed in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, are fixed as shown in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 2001.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 of 29 September 2003 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers and amending Regulations (EEC) No 2019/93, (EC) No 1452/2001, (EC) No 1453/2001, (EC) No 1454/2001, (EC) No 1868/94, (EC) No 1251/1999, (EC) No 1254/1999, (EC) No 1673/2000, (EEC) No 2358/71 and (EC) No 2529/2001 (1), and in particular Articles 64(2), 70(2), 143b(3), 143bc(1) and the second subparagraph of Article 143bc(2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 247/2006 of 30 January 2006 laying down specific measures for agriculture in the outermost regions of the Union (2), and in particular the second sentence of Article 20(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Annex VIII to Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 establishes, for each Member State, the national ceilings which cannot be exceeded by the reference amounts referred to in Chapter 2 of Title III of that Regulation.
(2) Pursuant to the first sentence of Article 20(3) of Regulation (EC) No 247/2006, Portugal decided to reduce the national ceiling of suckler cow premium rights for 2008 and subsequent years and to transfer the corresponding financial amount in order to strengthen the contribution made by the Community, in accordance with Article 23 of Regulation (EC) No 247/2006, to financing specific measures provided for under that Regulation. The national ceilings for Portugal for 2008 and for subsequent years, as set out in Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 should therefore be reduced by the amount to be added to the financial sums established in Article 23(2) of Regulation (EC) No 247/2006 for 2009 and subsequent budgetary years.
(3) For Member States implementing in 2008 the Single Payment Scheme provided for under Title III of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003, the budgetary ceilings for each of the payments referred to in Articles 66 to 69 of that Regulation should be established for 2008 under the conditions laid down in Section 2 of Chapter 5 of Title III of the Regulation.
(4) For Member States making use of the option provided for in Article 70 of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003, the budgetary ceilings applicable to the direct payments excluded from the Single Payment Scheme should be established for 2008.
(5) For the sake of clarity, the 2008 budgetary ceilings for the Single Payment Scheme should be published after the revised ceilings included in Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 have been deducted from the ceilings established for payments referred to in Articles 66 to 70 of that Regulation.
(6) For Member States implementing in 2008 the Single Area Payment Scheme provided for in Title IVa of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003, the annual financial envelopes for 2008 should be established in accordance with Article 143b(3) of that Regulation.
(7) For the sake of clarity, the maximum amount of funds available to Member States applying the Single Area Payment Scheme for granting separate sugar payments in 2008 under Article 143ba of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003, established on the basis of their notifications, should be published.
(8) For the sake of clarity, the maximum amount of funds available to Member States applying the Single Area Payment Scheme for granting separate fruit and vegetable payments in 2008 under Article 143bb of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003, established on the basis of their notifications, should be published.
(9) For Member States applying the Single Area Payment Scheme, the 2008 budgetary ceilings applicable to transitional payments for fruit and vegetables in accordance with Article 143bc(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003, should therefore be established, on the basis of their notifications.
(10) Regulations (EC) No 1782/2003 and (EC) No 247/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Direct Payments,
In Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003, the sums relating to Portugal for 2008 and subsequent years are replaced with the following figures:
‘2008 608 221
2009 608 751
2010 and subsequent years 608 447’.
The figures relating to the Azores and Madeira for the 2009 budgetary year and subsequent years contained in the table in Article 23(2) of Regulation (EC) No 247/2006 are replaced as follows:
‘2009 87,08
2010 and further 87,18’.
1. The budgetary ceilings for 2008 referred to in Articles 66 to 69 of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 are listed in Annex I to this Regulation.
2. The budgetary ceilings for 2008 referred to in Article 70(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 are listed in Annex II to this Regulation.
3. The budgetary ceilings for 2008 for the Single Payment Scheme referred to in Title III of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 are listed in Annex III to this Regulation.
4. The annual financial envelopes for 2008 referred to in Article 143b(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 are set out in Annex IV to this Regulation.

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 569/76 of 15 March 1976 laying down special measures for linseed (1), and in particular Article 2 (4) thereof,
Whereas the existing text of Articles 10 (a) and 11 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1799/76 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 156/79 (3), could lead to unequal treatment amongst those concerned in cases where flax was not gathered ; whereas, in order to avoid this risk, the said Articles should be amended accordingly;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 2 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1774/76 of 20 July 1976 on special measures for linseed (4), coefficients of equivalence for linseed were fixed in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 1799/76 ; whereas the quality of linseed delivered by the major producing third countries as well as the prices for both linseed and linseed oil, which served as the basis for fixing the current coefficients of equivalence, have changed considerably since the beginning of the 1979/80 marketing year ; whereas new coefficients of equivalence for linseed should therefore be fixed which take the new situation into account;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
Regulation (EEC) No 1799/76 is hereby amended as follows: 1. Article 10a is amended to read as follows:
"Article 10a
1. For fibre flax, there shall be fixed each year in respect of each of the areas referred to in Article 2a an indicative yield for retted but not deseeded flax and for flax otherwise than retted but not deseeded.
2. For the purposes of this Regulation, "retted but not deseeded flax" means fibre flax which: (a) after pulling has been spread out in the field for a period exceeding that required for drying ; and
(b) shows at least two of the following characteristics: - dark brown or black colouring,
- easily detachable seed capsules,
- easier freeing of fibres than in the case of flax which after pulling has only remained in the field for the period required for drying ; and
(c) has not been subjected to any deseeding process."
2. Article 11 (1) is amended to read as follows:
"1. Every grower of fibre flax shall, by the date fixed by the Member State concerned and not later than 31 October each year, submit a crop declaration. This declaration shall be submitted after deseeding or gathering of the flax, except where neither of these operations has been carried out by 15 October. In that case, the flax shall be regarded as flax retted but not deseeded within the meaning of Article 10 (a) (2)."
3. Article 11 (2) (b) is amended to read as follows:
"(b) particulars of the areas harvested, in hectares and ares, with separate figures for: - the areas harvested retted but not deseeded,
- the areas harvested otherwise than retted but not deseeded;".

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 6 and the second paragraph of Article 24 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 of 28 July 1993 laying down the procedures and conditions for the sale of cereals held by intervention agencies (2), cereals held by intervention agencies are to be sold by tendering procedure at prices preventing market disturbance.
(2) The Member States have intervention stocks of maize, common wheat, barley and rye. To meet market needs, these stocks of cereals should be made available on the Community market. To this end, standing invitations to tender should be opened for the resale on the Community market of cereals held by the intervention agencies of the Member States. Each of them should be considered to be a separate invitation to tender.
(3) Derogations should be made from the terms laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 as regards the level of the security required. This security should be set at a sufficiently high level.
(4) To take account of the situation on the Community market, provision should be made for the Commission to manage this invitation to tender. In addition, provision must be made for an award coefficient for tenders offering the minimum selling price.
(5) To permit the efficient administration of the system, the information required by the Commission should be sent by electronic mail. It is important for the notification by the intervention agencies to the Commission to maintain the anonymity of the tenderers.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The intervention agencies of the Member States listed in Annex I shall open standing invitations to tender for the sale on the Community market of cereals held by them. The maximum quantities of the different cereals covered by these invitations to tender are shown in Annex I.
The sales referred to in Article 1 shall be carried out under the terms laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93. However, notwithstanding the second subparagraph of Article 13(4) of that Regulation, the tender security shall be set at EUR 10 per tonne.
1. The closing date for the submission of tenders for the first partial invitation to tender shall be 13.00 (Brussels time) on 11 October 2006.
The closing dates for the submission of tenders for subsequent partial invitations to tender shall be each Wednesday at 13.00 (Brussels time), with the exception of 1 November 2006, 27 December 2006, 4 April 2007 and 16 May 2007, i.e. weeks when no invitation to tender shall be made.
The closing date for the submission of tenders for the last partial invitation to tender shall be 27 June 2007 at 13.00 (Brussels time).
2. Tenders must be lodged with the intervention agencies concerned at the addresses shown in Annex I.
Within four hours of the expiry of the deadline for the submission of tenders laid down in Article 4(1), the intervention agencies concerned shall notify the Commission of tenders received. If no tenders are received, the Member State shall notify the Commission within the same time limits. If the Member State does not send a communication to the Commission within the given deadlines, the Commission shall consider that no tender has been submitted in the Member State concerned.
The communications referred to in the first subparagraph shall be sent electronically, in accordance with the model in Annex II. A separate form for each type of cereal shall be sent to the Commission for each invitation to tender. The tenderers shall not be identified.
1. Under the procedure laid down in Article 25(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003, the Commission shall set the minimum selling price for each cereal or decide not to award any quantities.
2. If the fixing of a minimum price, in accordance with paragraph 1, would lead to an overrun on the maximum quantity available to a Member State, an award coefficient may be fixed at the same time for the quantities offered at the minimum price in order to comply with the maximum quantity available to that Member State.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular Articles 31 and 32 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, drawn up after obtaining the opinion of a group of persons appointed by the Scientific and Technical Committee from among scientific experts in the Member States,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community prescribes that the basic standards for the protection of the health of the general public and workers against the dangers arising from ionizing radiation, as provided for in particular in Article 30 thereof, must be laid down in order to enable each Member State, in accordance with Article 33, to lay down by legislation, regulation or administrative action the appropriate provisions to ensure compliance with the basic standards, to take the necessary measures with regard to teaching, education and vocational training and to lay down such provisions in harmony with the provisions applicable in this field in the other Member States;
Whereas on 2 February 1959 the Council adopted Directives laying down such basic standards (3), which were last amended by Directive 80/836/Euratom (4);
Whereas the advantage of some review of Annexes I and III to Directive 80/836/Euratom has become apparent in the light of the development of scientific knowledge concerning radiation protection;
Whereas the protection of the health of workers and the general public requires that any activity involving danger arising from ionizing radiation must be made subject to regulation;
Whereas the basic standards must be adapted to the conditions under which nuclear energy is used ; whereas these standards vary according to whether they are concerned with the individual safety of workers exposed to ionizing radiation or with the protection of the general public;
Whereas the values laid down in Annexes I and III to Directive 80/836/Euratom take account, only in part, of the latest scientific knowledge available;
Whereas in order to establish some of these values it was necessary provisionally to use values laid down previously in the 1959, 1962 and 1966 Directives for the maximum permissible concentration;
Whereas in 1980 it was not possible to carry out calculations for all radionuclides under consideration;
Whereas, in its opinion of 7 July 1983, the Economic and Social Committee considered it necessary to amend, in Articles 9 and 12 of Directive 80/836/Euratom, the annual dose limits for the lens of the eye, in line with the most recent recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection, a step which involves amending the original values in Annex III for krypton intake limits ; whereas these amendments should be adopted,
Directive 80/836/Euratom is hereby amended as follows: (1) OJ No C 127, 14.5.1984, p. 120. (2) OJ No C 286, 24.10.1983, p. 15. (3) OJ No 11, 20.2.1959, p. 221/59. (4) OJ No L 246, 17.9.1980, p. 1. 1. in Article 1 (b) (radiological, biological and medical terms), the term "dose effective" in the French text is replaced by the term "dose efficace";
2. Article 6 (a) is replaced by the following:
"(a) the various types of activity resulting in an exposure to ionizing radiation shall have been justified in advance by the advantages which they produce (1);
(1) Account being taken, for medical activities, of Council Directive 84/466/Euratom of 3 September 1984, laying down basic measures relating to the radiation protection of persons undergoing medical examination or treatment (OJ No L 265, 5.10.1984, p. 1)."; 3. Article 9 (a) is replaced by the following:
"(a) the effective dose limit mainly used to estimate internal exposure in practice (1) evaluated by the method set out in Annex II, Section E, shall be 50 mSv (5 rems) in a year ; the average dose in each of the organs or tissues involved shall not exceed 500 mSv (50 rems) in a year:
(1) This effective dose limit shall be taken into account in calculating the limits of annual intake set out in Annex III which enable the derived limits of concentration, including in air and water, to be determined."; 4. In Article 9 (b), the first indent is replaced by the following:
"- the dose limit for the lens of the eye shall be 150 mSv (15 rems) in a year,";
5. Article 12 (3) (a) is replaced by the following:
"(a) the effective dose limit mainly used to estimate internal exposure in practice (1), evaluated by the method set out in Annex II, Section E, shall be 5 mSv (0,5 rem) in a year ; the average dose in each of the organs or tissues involved shall not exceed 50 mSv (5 rems) in a year;
(1) This effective dose limit shall be taken into account in calculating the limits of annual intake set out in Annex III which enable the derived limits of concentration, including in air and water, to be determined."; 6. in Article 12 (3) (b), the first indent is replaced by the following:
"- the dose limit for the lens of the eye shall be 15 mSv (1,5 rems) in a year,";
7. Annex I is replaced by Annex I hereto;
8. in Annex II, Section E, first and second lines, the term "dose effective" in the French text is replaced by the term "dose efficace";
9. Annex III is replaced by Annex III hereto.
Member States shall take the measures necessary to comply with this Directive within 18 months of its publication.
Member States shall inform the Commission of the provisions which they have adopted pursuant to this Directive.

| Commission Regulation (EC) No 1070/2000
of 19 May 2000
laying down detailed rules governing the grant of private storage aid for Kefalotyri and Kasseri cheeses
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products(1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 permits the granting of private storage aid for sheep's milk cheeses requiring at least six months for maturing where a serious market imbalance could be eliminated or reduced by seasonal storage.
(2) The seasonal nature of Kefalotyri and Kasseri cheese production results in the building up of stocks which are difficult to sell and which risk causing a lowering of prices. Seasonal storage should therefore be introduced for the quantities to improve the situation and allow producers time to find outlets for their cheese.
(3) The detailed rules of this measure should determine the maximum quantity to benefit from it as well as the duration of the contracts in relation to the real requirements of the market and the keeping qualities of the cheeses in question. It is necessary to specify the terms of the storage contract so as to enable the identification of the cheese and to maintain checks on the stock in respect of which aid is granted. The aid should be fixed taking into account storage costs and the foreseeable trend of market prices.
(4) Experience shows that provisions on checks should be laid down, particularly as regards the documents to be submitted and checks to be made on the spot. Therefore, it should be provided that Member States require the costs of checks be fully or partly borne by the contractor.
(5) Article 1(1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1756/93 of 30 June 1993 fixing the operative events for the agricultural conversion rate applicable to milk and milk products(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 569/1999(3), fixes the conversion rate to be applied in the framework of private storage aid schemes in the milk products sector.
(6) It is appropriate to guaranteee the continuation of the storage operations in question.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
Aid shall be granted in respect of the private storage of 3200 tonnes of Kefalotyri and Kasseri cheeses made from Community-produced ewes' or goats' milk or a mixture of the two and satisfying the requirements of Articles 2 and 3.
1. The intervention agency shall conclude storage contracts only when the following conditions are met:
(a) the quantity of cheese to which the contract relates is not less than 2 tonnes;
(b) the cheese was manufactured at least 90 days before the date specified in the contract as being the date of commencement of storage, and after 30 November 1999;
(c) the cheese has undergone tests which show that it meets the condition laid down in (b) and that it is of first quality;
(d) the storer undertakes:
- not, during the term of the contract, to alter the composition of the batch which is the subject of the contract without authorisation from the intervention agency. If the condition concerning the minimum quantity fixed for each batch continues to be met, the intervention agency may authorise an alteration which is limited to the removal or replacement of cheeses which are found to have deteriorated to such an extent that they can no longer be stored.
In the event of release from store of certain quantities:
(i) if the aforesaid quantities are replaced with the authorisation of the intervention agency, the contract is deemed not to have undergone any alteration;
(ii) if the aforesaid quantities are not replaced, the contract is deemed to have been concluded ab initio for the quantity permanently retained.
Any supervisory costs arising from an alteration shall be met by the storer,
- to keep stock accounts and to inform the intervention agency each week of the quantity of cheese put into storage during the previous week, and of any planned withdrawals.
2. The storage contract shall be concluded:
(a) in writing, stating the date when storage covered by the contract begins; this may not be earlier than the day following that on which the operations connected with putting the batch of cheese covered by the contract into storage were completed;
(b) after completion by the operations connected with putting the batch of cheese covered by the contract into storage and at the latest 40 days after the date on which the storage covered by the contract begins.
1. Aid shall be granted only for cheese put into storage during the period 15 May to 30 November 2000.
2. No aid shall be granted in respect of storage under contract for less than 60 days.
3. The aid payable may not exceed an amount corresponding to 150 days' storage under contract terminating before 31 March 2001. By way of derogation from the first indent of Article 2(1)(d), when the period of 60 days specified in paragraph 2 has elapsed, the storer may remove all or part of the batch under contract. The minimum quantity that may be removed shall be 500 kilograms. The Member States may, however, increase this quantity to 2 tonnes.
The date of the start of operations to remove cheese covered by the contract shall not be included in the period of storage under contract.
1. The aid shall be as follows:
(a) EUR 100/t for the fixed costs;
(b) EUR 0,35/t per day of storage under contract for the warehousing costs;
(c) EUR 0,58/t per day of storage under contract for the financial costs.
2. Aid shall be paid not later than 90 days from the last day of storage under contract.
1. The Member States shall ensure that the conditions granting entitlement to payment of the aid are fulfilled.
2. The contractor shall make available to the national authorities responsible for verifying execution of the measure any documentation permitting in particular the following particulars of products placed in private storage to be verified:
(a) ownership at the time of entry into storage;
(b) the origin and date of manufacture of the cheeses;
(c) the date of entry into storage;
(d) presence in the store;

(b) the dates of entry into and removal from storage;
(c) the number of cheeses and their weight shown for each lot;
(d) the location of the products in the store.
4. Products stored must be easily identifiable and must be identified individually by contract. A special mark shall be affixed to cheeses covered by contract.
5. Without prejudice to Article 2(1)(d), on entry into storage, the competent bodies shall conduct checks in particular to ensure that products stored are eligible for the aid and to prevent any possibility of substitution of products during storage under contract.
6. The national authorities responsible for controls shall undertake:
(a) an unannounced check to see that the products are present in the store. The sample concerned must be representative and must correspond to at least 10 % of the overall quantity under contract for a private storage aid measure. Such checks must include, in addition to an examination of the accounts referred to in paragraph 3, a physical check of the weight and type of product and their identification. Such physical checks must relate to at least 5 % of the quantity subject to the unannounced check;
(b) a check to see that the products are present at the end of the storage period under contract.
7. Checks conducted pursuant to paragraphs 5 and 6 must be the subject of a report stating:
- the date of the check,
- its duration,
- the operations conducted.
The report on checks must be signed by the official responsible and countersigned by the contractor or, where applicable, by the store operator.
8. In the case of irregularities affecting at least 5 % of the quantities of products subject to the checks the latter shall be extended to a larger sample to be determined by the competent body.
The Member States shall notify such cases to the Commission within four weeks.
9. The Member States may provide that the costs of checks will be borne partly or fully by the contractor.
Member States shall communicate to the Commission before 15 January 2001:

| COMMISSION DECISION
of 21 December 1981
establishing that the apparatus described as 'PGT-energy dispersive X-ray analysis system, model XCEL' may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(82/68/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1027/79 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 10 June 1981, the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'PGT-energy dispersive X-ray analysis system, model XCEL', to be used for the analysis of material fractures in the microsector, should be considered to be a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 18 November 1981 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is an analysis system; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the precision of the quantitative analysis and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of equivalent scientific value capable of use for the same purpose is not currently manufactured in the Community; whereas, therefore, duty-free admission of this apparatus is justified,
The apparatus described as 'PGT-energy dispersive X-ray analysis system, model XCEL', which is the subject of an application by the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany of 10 June 1981, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Whereas Article 6 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 lays down that a reference price for each type of hybrid maize for sowing shall be fixed annually; whereas these reference prices are to be fixed on the basis of the free-at-frontier prices recorded during the past three marketing years, but excluding abnormally low prices; whereas, under Article 2 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1578/72 of 20 July 1972 laying down general rules for fixing reference prices and for determining free-at-frontier offer prices for hybrid maize for sowing (3), only prices of imports from non-member countries which are representative as regards quantity and quality are to be taken into account;
Whereas imports of the types of hybrid maize for sowing falling within subheading 10.05 A IV ('other') of the Common Customs Tariff cannot, given the very small quantity involved, be considered as representative; whereas, therefore, no reference price for those types of maize can be fixed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Seeds,

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1612/683 fixed the provisions governing freedom of movement for workers within the Community ; whereas, consequently, measures should be adopted for the abolition of restrictions which still exist concerning movement and residence within the Community, which conform to the rights and privileges accorded by the said Regulation to nationals of any Member State who move in order to pursue activities as employed persons and to members of their families;
Whereas the rules applicable to residence should, as far as possible, bring the position of workers from other Member States and members of their families into line with that of nationals;
Whereas the co-ordination of special measures relating to the movement and residence of foreign nationals, justified on grounds of public policy, public security of public health, is the subject of the Council Directive of 25 February 1964,4 adopted in application of Article 56 (2) of the Treaty;
Member States shall, acting as provided in this Directive, abolish restrictions on the movement and residence of nationals of the said States and of members of their families to whom Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 applies.

1. Member States shall allow the persons referred to in Article 1 to enter their territory simply on production of a valid identity card or passport.

1. Member States shall grant the right of residence in their territory to the persons referred to in 1 OJ No 268, 6.11.1967, p. 10. 2 OJ No 298, 7.12.1967, p. 10. 3 OJ No L 257, 19.10.1968, p. 2. 4 OJ No 56, 4.4.1964, p. 850/64. Article 1 who are able to produce the documents listed in paragraph 3.
2. As proof of the right of residence, a document entitled "Residence Permit for a National of a Member State of the EEC" shall be issued.

4. A member of the family who is not a national of a Member State shall be issued with a residence document which shall have the same validity as that issued to the worker on whom he is dependent.
Completion of the formalities for obtaining a residence permit shall not hinder the immediate beginning of employment under a contract concluded by the applicants.
1. The residence permit: (a) must be valid throughout the territory of the Member State which issued it;
(b) must be valid for at least five years from the date of issue and be automatically renewable.
2. Breaks in residence not exceeding six consecutive months and absence on military service shall not affect the validity of a residence permit.
3.

Subject to the provisions of Article 8 (1) (c), a temporary residence permit shall be issued also to a seasonal worker employed for a period of more than three months. The period of employment must be shown in the documents referred to in paragraph 4 (3) (b).
1. A valid residence permit may not be withdrawn from a worker solely on the grounds that he is no longer in employment, either because he is temporarily incapable of work as a result of illness or accident, or because he is involuntarily unemployed, this being duly confirmed by the competent employment office.
2. When the residence permit is renewed for the first time, the period of residence may be restricted, but not to less than twelve months, where the worker has been involuntarily unemployed in the Member State for more than twelve consecutive months.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Decision 2000/258/EC of 20 March 2000 designating a specific institute responsible for establishing the criteria necessary for standardising the serological tests to monitor the effectiveness of rabies vaccines (1), and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Decision 2000/258/EC designates the Agence française de sécurité sanitaire des aliments (AFSSA) in Nancy, France (integrated since 1 July 2010 into the Agence nationale de sécurité sanitaire de l’alimentation, de l’environnement et du travail, ANSES), as the specific institute responsible for establishing the criteria necessary for standardising the serological tests to monitor the effectiveness of rabies vaccines.
(2) That Decision provides that the ANSES is to document the appraisal of laboratories in third countries that have applied to carry out serological tests to monitor the effectiveness of rabies vaccines.
(3) By adopting Commission Implementing Decision 2012/304/EU of 11 June 2012 authorising laboratories in Croatia and in Mexico to carry out serological tests to monitor the effectiveness of rabies vaccines (2), the Commission authorised the laboratory for rabies and general virology of the Croatian Veterinary Institute to carry out serological tests to monitor the effectiveness of rabies vaccines in dogs, cats and ferrets.
(4) Following the unfavourable appraisal report established by the ANSES dated 3 September 2012, the authorisation granted to that laboratory has been withdrawn in accordance with Commission Decision 2010/436/EU of 9 August 2010 implementing Council Decision 2000/258/EC as regards proficiency tests for the purposes of maintaining authorisations of laboratories to carry out serological tests to monitor the effectiveness of rabies vaccines (3).
(5) The competent authority of Croatia has submitted an application for re-approval of the laboratory for rabies and general virology of the Croatian Veterinary Institute which is supported by a favourable appraisal report established for that laboratory by the ANSES dated 15 February 2013.
(6) The competent authority of Croatia has also officially informed the Commission that the name of the laboratory has changed.
(7) That laboratory should therefore be authorised to carry out serological tests to monitor the effectiveness of rabies vaccines in dogs, cats and ferrets.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
In accordance with Article 3(2) of Decision 2000/258/EC, the following laboratory is authorised to perform the serological tests to monitor the effectiveness of rabies vaccines in dogs, cats and ferrets:
Laboratory for rabies (Croatian National Reference Laboratory for Rabies) of Croatian Veterinary Institute

Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to the historical relationship between the price recorded for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton. That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001(3). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling EUR 22,530/100 kg.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in rice (1), and in particular Article 14(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Examination of the supply balance shows that exportable amounts of rice are currently held by producers. This situation could affect the normal development of producer prices during the 2004/2005 marketing year.
(2) In order to remedy this situation, it is appropriate to grant export refunds in respect of zones which may be supplied by the Community. The special situation of the rice market makes it necessary to limit the quantities of rice benefiting from refunds, and therefore to fix the amount of the export refund by tendering procedure.
(3) It should be stated that Commission Regulation (EEC) No 584/75 of 6 March 1975 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of tendering for export refunds on rice (2) applies to this tendering procedure.
(4) For the sake of sound management of the markets, the tendering procedure should be limited to certain zones listed in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2145/92 (3).
(5) Under Article 14 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2808/98 of 22 December 1998 laying down detailed rules for the application of the agrimonetary system for the euro in agriculture (4), amounts quoted in tenders submitted in response to invitations to tender organised under an instrument forming part of the common agricultural policy must be expressed in euro. Article 5(1) of that Regulation provides that in such cases the operative event for the agricultural exchange rate is the final day for the submission of tenders. Paragraphs 3 and 4 of that Article specify the operative events applicable to advances and securities.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
1. A tendering procedure opened for the refund on export as referred to in Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 for wholly milled and parboiled long-grain B rice falling within CN code 1006 30 67.
The tendering procedure shall be restricted to the following destinations:
(a) zones I to VI in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2145/ 92, except for Malta, Cyprus, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovenia, Romania and Turkey;
(b) zone VIII in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2145/92, except for Guyana, Madagascar, Suriname, the Netherlands Antilles, Aruba and the Turks and Caicos Islands.
2. The tendering procedure shall be open until 23 June 2005. During that period regular invitations to tender shall be issued and the date for submission of tenders shall be laid down in the notice of invitation to tender.
3. The tendering procedure shall take place in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 584/75 and this Regulation.
A tender shall be admissible only if it covers a quantity for export of at least 50 tonnes but not more than 3 000 tonnes.
The security referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 584/75 shall be EUR 30 per tonne.
1. As an exception to Article 23(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 (5), export licences issued under this tendering procedure shall, for the purposes of determining their period of validity, be considered as having been issued on the day the tender was submitted.
2. The licences shall be valid from their date of issue, within the meaning of paragraph 1, until the end of the fourth month following.
Tenders submitted must reach the Commission through the Member States not later than one and a half hours after expiry of the time limit for the submission of tenders as laid down in the notice of invitation to tender. They must be transmitted in accordance with the model given in the Annex.
If no tenders are lodged, Member States shall inform the Commission within the time limit referred to in the first paragraph.
1. On the basis of tenders submitted, the Commission shall decide in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 26(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003:
— either to fix a maximum export refund, taking account of the criteria laid down in Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003,
— or not to take any action on the tenders.
2. Where a maximum export refund is fixed, a contract shall be awarded to any tenderer whose tender specifies a rate of refund not exceeding such maximum export refund.
The closing date for the submission of tenders for the first regular invitation to tender shall be 16 December 2004 at 10.00 (Brussels time).
The final date for submission of tenders is hereby fixed at 23 June 2005.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Whereas:
(1) In August, September and October 2000 outbreaks of classical swine fever in the United Kingdom were declared by the veterinary authorities of the United Kingdom.
(2) In accordance with Article 9(1) of Directive 80/217/EEC protection and surveillance zones were immediately established around outbreak sites in Suffolk, Norfolk and Essex.
(3) The provisions for the use of a health mark on fresh meat are given in Council Directive 64/433/EEC of 26 June 1964 on health conditions for the production and marketing of fresh meat(2), as last amended by Directive 95/23/EEC(3).
(4) Following a request of the United Kingdom, by Decision 2000/543/EC(4) and Decision 2000/650/EC(5) the Commission adopted a specific solution concerning marking and use of pigmeat coming from pigs kept on holdings situated in one surveillance zone established in Norfolk and slaughtered, subject to a specific authorisation issued by the competent authority.
(5) The United Kingdom has submitted a further request for the adoption of a specific solution concerning marking and use of pigmeat coming from pigs kept on holdings situated in the surveillance zones established in Norfolk and Suffolk in relation to the outbreaks confirmed as at 4 October 2000.
(6) Decision 2000/650/EC should be amended in order that the provisions of this Decision are adopted in other surveillance zones, in accordance with the request of the United Kingdom.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
In Decision 2000/650/EC the words "originating from holdings situated in the surveillance zone established in Norfolk following the outbreak confirmed on 9 August 2000" are replaced by the words "originating from holdings situated in the surveillance zones established in Norfolk and Suffolk following the outbreaks confirmed as at 4 October 2000."

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 164(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 162(1)b of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the difference between prices in international trade for the products referred to in Article 1(1)(p) and listed in Part XVI of Annex I to that Regulation and prices within the Union may be covered by an export refund where these goods are exported in the form of goods listed in Part IV of Annex XX to that Regulation.
(2) Commission Regulation (EU) No 578/2010 of 29 June 2010 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1216/2009 as regards the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (2), specifies the products for which a rate of refund is to be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Part IV of Annex XX to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
(3) In accordance with Article 14(1) of Regulation (EU) No 578/2010, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question is to be fixed for a period of the same duration as that for which refunds are fixed for the same products exported unprocessed.
(4) Article 162(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 lays down that the export refund for a product contained in a good may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing.
(5) In the case of certain milk products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, there is a danger that, if high refund rates are fixed in advance, the commitments entered into in relation to those refunds may be jeopardised. In order to avert that danger, it is therefore necessary to take appropriate precautionary measures, but without precluding the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of specific refund rates for the advance fixing of refunds in respect of those products should enable those two objectives to be met.
(6) Article 15(2) of Regulation (EU) No 578/2010 provides that, when the rate of the refund is being fixed, account is to be taken, where appropriate, of aids or other measures having equivalent effect applicable in all Member States in accordance with the Regulation on the common organisation of the agricultural markets to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 578/2010 or to assimilated products.
(7) Article 100(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides for the payment of aid for Union-produced skimmed milk processed into casein if such milk and the casein manufactured from it fulfil certain conditions.
(8) The currently applicable refunds have been fixed by Commission Regulation (EU) No 52/2011 (3). Since new refunds should be fixed, that Regulation should therefore be repealed.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 578/2010 and in Part XVI of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, and exported in the form of goods listed in Part IV of Annex XX to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, shall be fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
Regulation (EU) No 52/2011 is hereby repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 21 April 2011.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.4 | 0.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.2 | 0 |

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (1), and in particular Article 7(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 of 21 June 2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (2), and in particular Articles 30 and 32(8) thereof,
After consulting the Committee on the Agricultural Funds,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decisions 2007/327/EC (3), 2008/394/EC (4) and 2010/61/EU (5) cleared, for the 2006 financial year, the accounts of all the paying agencies except for the Italian paying agency ‘ARBEA’.
(2) Following the transmission of new information and after additional checks, the Commission can now take a decision on the integrality, accuracy and veracity of the accounts submitted by the Italian paying agency ‘ARBEA’.
(3) The second subparagraph of Article 7(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1663/95 of 7 July 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 regarding the procedure for the clearance of the accounts of the EAGGF Guarantee Section (6) lays down that the amounts that are recoverable from, or payable to, each Member State, in accordance with the accounts clearance decision referred to in the first subparagraph, shall be determined by deducting advances paid during the financial year in question, i.e. 2006, from expenditure recognised for that year in accordance with the first subparagraph. Such amounts are to be deducted from, or added to advances against expenditure from the second month following that in which the accounts clearance decision is taken.
(4) Pursuant to Article 32(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, 50 % of the financial consequences of non-recovery of irregularities shall be borne by the Member State concerned and 50 % by the EU budget if the recovery of those irregularities has not taken place within 4 years of the primary administrative or judicial finding, or within 8 years if the recovery is taken to the national courts. Article 32(3) of the said Regulation obliges Member States to submit to the Commission, together with the annual accounts, a summary report on the recovery procedures undertaken in response to irregularities. Detailed rules on the application of the Member States’ reporting obligation of the amounts to be recovered are laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 885/2006 of 21 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 as regards the accreditation of paying agencies and other bodies and the clearance of the accounts of the EAGF and of the EAFRD (7). Annex III to the said Regulation provides the model tables 1 and 2 that had to be provided in 2007 by the Member States. On the basis of the tables completed by the Member States, the Commission should decide on the financial consequences of non-recovery of irregularities older than 4 or 8 years respectively. This decision is without prejudice to future conformity decisions pursuant to Article 32(8) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005.
(5) Pursuant to Article 32(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, Member States may decide not to pursue recovery. Such a decision may only be taken if the costs already and likely to be incurred total more than the amount to be recovered or if the recovery proves impossible owing to the insolvency, recorded and recognised under national law, of the debtor or the persons legally responsible for the irregularity. If that decision has been taken within 4 years of the primary administrative or judicial finding, or within 8 years if the recovery is taken to the national courts, 100 % of the financial consequences of the non-recovery should be borne by the EU budget. In the summary report referred to in Article 32(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 the amounts for which the Member State decided not to pursue recovery and the grounds for the decision are shown. These amounts are not charged to the Member States concerned and are consequently to be borne by the EU budget. This decision is without prejudice to future conformity decisions pursuant to Article 32(8) of the said Regulation.
(6) In clearing the accounts of the paying agencies concerned, the Commission must take account of the amounts already withheld from the Member States concerned on the basis of Decisions 2007/327/EC, 2008/394/EC and 2010/61/EU.
(7) In accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 and Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1663/95, this Decision does not prejudice decisions taken subsequently by the Commission excluding from EU financing expenditure not effected in accordance with EU rules,
The accounts of the Italian paying agency ‘ARBEA’ concerning expenditure financed by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF), Guarantee Section, in respect of the 2006 financial year, are hereby cleared.
The amounts which are recoverable from, or payable to, each Member State concerned pursuant to this Decision, including those resulting from the application of Article 32(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, are set out in the Annex.
This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

(2) By virtue of Article 20a(2) of the abovementioned Regulation, the production refund must be fixed on the basis of the gap between prices on the world market and on the Community market, taking account of the import charge applicable to olive oil falling within CN subheading 1509 90 00 and the factors used for fixing the export refunds for those olive oils during the reference period. It is appropriate to take as a reference period the two-month period preceding the beginning of the term of validity of the production refund.
(3) The application of the above criteria results in the refund being fixed as shown below,
For the months of January and February 2005, the amount of the production refund referred to in Article 20a(2) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC shall be 44,00 EUR/100 kg.

| COMMISSION DECISION of 14 January 1997 terminating the anti-dumping proceedings concerning imports of certain sections of iron or non-alloy steel originating in the Czech Republic and Hungary (97/35/ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community,
Having regard to Commission Decision No 2277/96/ECSC of 28 November 1996 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Coal and Steel Community (1), and in particular Article 23 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Decision No 2424/88/ECSC of 29 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Coal and Steel Community (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) In October 1994, the Commission received a complaint lodged by the European Confederation of Iron and Steel Industries (Eurofer) concerning imports of certain sections of iron or non-alloy steel originating in the Czech Republic and Hungary.
The complaint was lodged on behalf of producers of the product in question allegedly representing a major proportion of total steel-section output in the Community.
The complaint contained sufficient evidence of dumping of the imports concerned and of material injury resulting therefrom to justify the initiation of anti-dumping proceedings.
(2) After consultation, therefore, the Commission announced by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (3) the initiation of anti-dumping proceedings with regard to the imports referred to in the complaint and it commenced an investigation.
(3) The investigation period selected for the determination of dumping was from 1 January 1994 to 30 June 1995. In respect of injury, the investigation covered the period from 1 January 1991 to 30 June 1995.
(4) The Commission officially advised the exporters and importers known to be concerned, the representatives of the exporting countries and the complainant and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing.
(5) Because of the volume of information gathered and the complexity of the investigation, the proceeding exceeded the normal duration of one year as provided for in Article 7 (9) of Decision No 2424/88/ECSC.
B. THE PRODUCTS UNDER CONSIDERATION
(6) The products covered by the complaint and the notice of initiation of proceedings are certain U- or I-sections (ECSC) of iron or non-alloy steel, not further worked than hot-rolled, hot-drawn or extruded, of a height of 80 mm or more but not exceeding 300 mm. Those products are currently classifiable under CN codes 7216 31 11, 7216 31 19, ex 7216 31 91, ex 7216 31 99, 7216 32 11, 7216 32 19, ex 7216 32 91 and ex 7216 32 99.
C. WITHDRAWAL OF THE COMPLAINT AND TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDINGS
(7) In the course of the investigation, by a letter of 11 September 1996, the complainant Community producers withdrew the complaint concerning imports of certain sections of iron or non-alloy steel originating in the Czech Republic and Hungary.
(8) In those circumstances, the anti-dumping proceedings concerning imports of certain sections of iron or non-alloy steel originating in the Czech Republic and Hungary can be terminated without imposition of protective measures.
(9) The Advisory Committee has been consulted and has raised no objection.
(10) The interested parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which the Commission intended to terminate the proceedings and have been given the opportunity to comment,
The anti-dumping proceedings concerning imports of certain sections of iron or non-alloy steel originating in the Czech Republic and Hungary are hereby terminated. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

on interim measures applicable in the egg and poultrymeat sectors after the unification of Germany
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2684/90 of 17 September 1990 on interim measures applicable after the unification of Germany, in anticipation of the adoption of transitional measures by the Council either in cooperation with, or after consultation of, the European Parliament (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2684/90 provides, inter alia, that a decision may be taken on a provisional basis and for a limited period to supplement or adapt Community rules in agricultural policy to the extent strictly necessary to resolve problems resulting from the unification of Germany before the Council has been able to pronounce on the Commission's proposals on transitional measures and adjustments required as a result of the integration of the former German Democratic Republic into the Community; whereas such additions and adjustments should be consistent with the general economy and the principles of the common agricultural policy;
Whereas, given the difficulties that poultrymeat production in the former German Democratic Republic faces in adjusting to the market conditions in the Community, frozen and deep-frozen chickens, hens and cocks produced and marketed in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic should not, for an interim period following unification, be subject to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2967/76 of 23 November 1976 laying down common standards for the water content of frozen and deep-frozen chickens, hens and cocks (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3204/83 (3);
Whereas it is necessary, in order to ensure the stability of the Community market in eggs and poultrymeat, to guarantee the performance of agreements concluded by the former German Democratic Republic with third countries; whereas Germany should therefore be authorized to make up from national funds, the amount of the export refund for the products concerned;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are to apply subject to any changes resulting from the decisions taken by the Council on the proposals presented to it by the Commission on 21 August 1990;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs,
1. Germany is hereby authorized to allow, in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic, the production and marketing of frozen and deep-frozen chickens, hens and cocks whose extraneous water content absorbed during preparation exceeds the quantities referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2967/76.
2. Germany is hereby authorized to continue to pay from national funds the additional refund added to the amount fixed by Community rules on the exportation of eggs and poultrymeat which are the subject of agreements concluded by the former German Democratic Republic with third countries before 3 October 1990.

of 19 May 2006
implementing Directive 2004/36/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the collection and exchange of information on the safety of aircraft using Community airports and the management of the information system
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 2004/36/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004 on the safety of third-country aircraft using Community airports (1), and in particular Article 8(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2004/36/EC introduces a harmonised approach to the effective enforcement of international safety standards within the Community by harmonising the rules and procedures for ramp inspections of third-country aircraft landing at airports located in the Member States. It requires the Member States to proceed to ramp inspections of third-country aircraft suspected of non-compliance with international safety standards landing at any of its airports open to international air traffic following a harmonised procedure, and to participate to the collection and exchange of information on the ramp inspections carried out.
(2) The Community obligations of the Member States deriving from Directive 2004/36/EC may be to a large extent discharged through their participation in the Safety Assessment of Foreign Aircraft (SAFA) programme initiated in 1996 by the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC), which management has been delegated to the Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA). In particular, the JAA manages the SAFA database, facilitates the harmonised training of inspectors and personnel participating in the programme, and ensures the development of procedures and proposals for improving the programme and its tools and the reporting on the information gathered.
(3) It is necessary to improve the system of collection and exchange of information contained in Directive 2004/36/EC, by designating a single specialised expert body responsible for the management of the SAFA system in the Community.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 1592/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) establishes a European Aviation Safety Agency as a single specialised expert body responsible for assisting the Commission and taking the necessary measures within the powers conferred on it by that Regulation or other Community legislation.
(5) In the context of the current process of transition from the JAA system to the European Aviation Safety Agency, it is necessary to entrust that Agency with the tasks related to the SAFA programme conducted so far by the JAA. This transfer should contribute to strengthening the programme and ensuring its continuation.
(6) The continuation of the SAFA programme and an accurate exchange of information on the safety of aircraft using Community airports require that the Community SAFA system be filled with the largest possible amount of information, including the ramp inspection reports not required by Directive 2004/36/EC but which have been carried out in accordance with the procedure established under Annex II of Directive 2004/36/EC.
(7) It is necessary that the Community SAFA system ensures that the added value resulting from the operational and technical cooperation with international organisations will be maintained.
(8) The Community SAFA system should also be complemented with appropriate activities aimed at ensuring common standards for the performance of ramp inspections, such as the continuation of the manual for ramp inspections as well as the training activities developed by the JAA.
(9) It has been recognised that the involvement of third countries should continue to be pursued, in order to facilitate the improvement of civil aviation safety throughout Europe. Therefore, the participation of third countries in the Community SAFA system, according to the relevant agreements, should be encouraged and promoted to ensure a seamless transition.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the committee established by Article 12 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3922/1991 (3),
For the purpose of this Regulation, ‘Community SAFA system’ means the system set up in Directive 2004/36/EC and in this Regulation for the collection, exchange and analysis of information on the air safety of aircraft and of air operators.
1. The European Aviation Safety Agency shall manage and operate the tools and procedures necessary for the collection and exchange of:
1. the information established in Articles 3, 4 and 5 of Directive 2004/36/EC,
2. the information provided by third countries or international organisations with whom appropriate agreements have been concluded by the Community, or organisations with whom EASA has concluded appropriate arrangements in accordance with Article 18(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1592/2002.
2. The management shall include the following tasks:
1. collect data from the Member States relevant to the safety information on aircraft using Community airports;
2. develop, maintain and provide continuous updating of a centralised database containing:
(a) all the information which the Member States are obliged to collect and make available on the basis of Articles 3, 4 and 5 of Directive 2004/36/EC,
(b) any other relevant information concerning the air safety of aircraft and of air operators;
3. provide necessary changes and enhancements to the database application;
4. analyse the centralised database information and other relevant information concerning the safety of aircrafts and of air operators and, on that basis:
(a) advise the Commission and the competent authorities of the Member States on immediate actions or follow-up policy;
(b) report potential safety problems to the Commission and to the competent authorities of the Member States;
(c) propose co-ordinated actions to the Commission and to the competent authorities of the Member States when necessary on safety grounds and ensure co-ordination at the technical level of such actions;
5. liaise with other European institutions and bodies, international organisations and National Aviation Authorities on information exchange;
6. advise the Commission on the future development and strategy of the Community SAFA system.
1. Member States shall enter into the centralised database without delay:
1. the ramp inspection reports referred to in Article 4(4) of Directive 2004/36/EC,
2. the ramp inspection reports not required by Directive 2004/36/EC but which have been carried out in accordance with the procedure established under Annex II of Directive 2004/36/EC.
2. Member States shall communicate to the European Aviation Safety Agency any information useful for the application of the Directive 2004/36/EC and for the accomplishment by the European Aviation Safety Agency of the tasks assigned to it by this Regulation, including information covered by Article 3 of Directive 2004/36/EC.
The European Aviation Safety Agency shall:
1. submit to the Commission a proposal for a manual of ramp inspection procedures and, whenever necessary, for further development and update of the manual and of the Annexes to Directive 2004/36/EC;
2. develop training programmes and foster the organisation and implementation of training courses and workshops for inspectors to improve the understanding of the Community SAFA system with the aim of reaching a common standard in the performance of ramp inspections;
3. facilitate and co-ordinate an inspector exchange programme aimed at allowing inspectors to obtain practical experience and contributing to the harmonisation of procedures.
1. The European Aviation Safety Agency shall prepare yearly and forward to the Commission:
1. A report on the Community SAFA system, containing, at least, the following information:
(a) status of the progress of the system, including the achievements concerning the collection and exchange of information, the database, the manual of ramp inspections and the training actions;
(b) status of the inspections performed in the year;
(c) analysis of the inspection results with indication of the categories of findings;
(d) actions taken during the year; and
(e) Annexes containing lists of inspections sorted out by state of operation, aircraft type, operator and ratios per item.
2. A proposal for a public aggregated information report containing an analysis of all information received in accordance with Article 5 of Directive 2004/36/EC.
2. The Commission will, in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 10(5) of Directive 2004/36/EC, consult the Air Safety Committee regarding the report on the Community SAFA system referred to in the first subparagraph.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Articles 1 to 5 shall apply from the 1st of January 2007.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular the second alternative of Articles 21(3) and 78(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Directive 2007/25/EC (2) included glufosinate as active substance in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (3), under the condition that the Member States concerned ensure that the notifier at whose request glufosinate was included in that Annex provide further confirmatory information on the risk for mammals and non-target arthropods in apple orchards.
(2) Active substances included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC are deemed to be approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 and are listed in Part A of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 of 25 May 2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the list of approved active substances (4).
(3) The notifier submitted additional information taking the form of studies with a view to confirm the risk assessment for mammals and non-target arthropods in apple orchards to the rapporteur Member State Sweden within the time period provided for its submission.
(4) Sweden assessed the additional information submitted by the notifier. It submitted its assessment, in the form of an addendum to the draft assessment report, to the other Member States, the Commission and the European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter ‘the Authority’, on 9 March 2010.
(5) The Commission consulted the Authority which presented its opinion on the risk assessment of glufosinate on 8 March 2012 (5). The draft assessment report, the additional report and the opinion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 15 March 2013 in the format of the Commission review report for glufosinate.
(6) In the light of the additional information provided by the notifier, the Commission considered that the further confirmatory information required had not been provided and that a high risk for mammals and non-target arthropods could not be excluded except by imposing further restrictions.
(7) The Commission invited the notifier to submit its comments on the review report for glufosinate.
(8) It is confirmed that the active substance glufosinate is to be deemed to have been approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. In order to minimise the exposure of mammals and non-target arthropods, it is, however, appropriate to further restrict the uses of this active substance and to provide for specific risk mitigation measures for the protection of those species.
(9) Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(10) Member States should be provided with time to withdraw authorisations for plant protection products containing glufosinate.
(11) For plant protection products containing glufosinate, where Member States grant any period of grace in accordance with Article 46 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, this period should expire at the latest one year after the withdrawal of the authorisations.
(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Amendment to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
Transitional measures
Member States shall in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, where necessary amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing glufosinate as active substance by 13 November 2013.
Period of grace
Any period of grace granted by Member States in accordance with Article 46 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 shall be as short as possible and shall expire 12 months after withdrawal of the respective authorisation at the latest.
Entry into force
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 35(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001 (2) lays down the detailed rules of application for export refunds on fruit and vegetables.
(2) Article 35(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides that, to the extent necessary for economically significant exports, the products exported by the Community may be covered by export refunds, within the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(3) Pursuant to Article 35(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, care must be taken to ensure that the trade flows previously brought about by the refund scheme are not disrupted. For this reason and because exports of fruit and vegetables are seasonal in nature, the quantities scheduled for each product should be fixed, based on the agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (3). These quantities must be allocated taking account of the perishability of the products concerned.
(4) Article 35(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides that refunds must be fixed in the light of the existing situation and outlook for fruit and vegetable prices on the Community market and supplies available, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, prices on the international market. Account must also be taken of the transport and marketing costs and of the economic aspect of the exports planned.
(5) In accordance with Article 35(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, prices on the Community market are to be established in the light of the most favourable prices from the export standpoint.
(6) The international trade situation or the special requirements of certain markets may call for the refund on a given product to vary according to its destination.
(7) Tomatoes, oranges, lemons and apples of classes Extra, I and II of the common quality standards can currently be exported in economically significant quantities.
(8) In order to ensure the best use of available resources and in view of the structure of Community exports, it is appropriate to proceed by an open invitation to tender and to set the indicative refund amount and the scheduled quantities for the period concerned.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
1. An invitation to tender for the allocation of A3 export licences is hereby opened. The products concerned, the tender submission period, the indicative refund rates and the scheduled quantities are laid down in the Annex hereto.
2. The licences issued in respect of food aid as referred to in Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 (4) shall not count against the eligible quantities in the Annex hereto.
3. Notwithstanding Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001, the term of validity of the A3 licences shall be two months.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 March 2006.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

COUNCIL DECISION
of 26 November 2009
on the position to be taken by the European Community regarding the renegotiation of the Monetary Agreement with the Republic of San Marino
(2009/904/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 111(3) thereof,
Having regard to the recommendation from the Commission,
Having consulted the European Central Bank,
Whereas:
(1) The Community has the competence for monetary and exchange rate matters as of the date of the introduction of the euro.
(2) The Council is to determine the arrangements for the negotiation and conclusion of agreements concerning monetary or foreign exchange regime matter.
(3) The Italian Republic, on behalf of the Community, concluded on 29 November 2000 a Monetary Agreement with the Republic of San Marino.
(4) In its conclusions on 10 February 2009 the Council invited the Commission to review the functioning of the existing agreements and to consider possible increases in the ceilings for coin issuance.
(5) The Commission concluded in the Communication on the functioning of the Monetary Agreements with Monaco, San Marino and Vatican that the Monetary Agreement with the Republic of San Marino in its present form needs to be amended with a view to ensuring a more consistent approach in the relations between the Community and the countries having signed a monetary agreement.
(6) The Monetary Agreement with the Republic of San Marino should therefore be renegotiated as soon as possible so that the new regime enters into force on 1 January 2010, together with the new rules on the modalities of introduction of euro coins set by the Commission Recommendation of 19 December 2008 on common guidelines for the national side and the issuance of euro coins intended for circulation (1), endorsed by the Council in its conclusions of 10 February 2009,
The Italian Republic shall notify the Republic of San Marino of the need to amend the existing Monetary Agreement between the Italian Republic, on behalf of the European Community, and the Republic of San Marino (hereinafter ‘the Agreement’) at the earliest possible date and offer renegotiation on the relevant provisions of the Agreement.
The Community shall seek the following changes in the renegotiation of the Agreement with the Republic of San Marino:
(a) The Agreement shall be concluded between the Community and the Republic of San Marino. The text of the agreement shall be a codified text of the current agreement with the amendments.
(b) The Republic of San Marino shall undertake to adopt all appropriate measures, through direct transpositions or possibly equivalent actions:
— for the application of all relevant Community banking and financial legislation, in particular legislation relating to the activity and supervision of the institutions concerned;
— for the application of all relevant Community legislation on the prevention of money laundering, on the prevention of fraud and counterfeiting of cash and non-cash means of payment, on medals and tokens and on statistical reporting requirements.
(c) The method for determining the ceiling of issuance of San Marino euro coins shall be revised. The new ceiling shall be calculated using a method which will combine a fixed part aimed at avoiding excessive numismatic speculation on San Marino coins by satisfying the demand of the collector coin market and a variable part, calculated as the average per capita coin issuance of the Republic of Italy in the year n-1 multiplied by the number of inhabitants of the Republic of San Marino.
(d) A Joint Committee shall be established in order to monitor the progress in the implementation of the Agreement. It shall be composed of representatives of the Republic of San Marino, the Republic of Italy, the Commission and the ECB. It shall have the possibility to revise each year the fixed part with a view to taking into account inflation and the evolution of the collector market. It shall adopt decisions unanimously. The Joint Committee shall adopt its own rules of procedure.
(e) The euro coins of the Republic of San Marino shall be minted by the Instituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato. The Republic of San Marino shall however have the possibility to take another contractor among the European Union mints striking euro coins, with the agreement of the Joint Committee. The volume of coins issued by the Republic of San Marino shall be added to the volume of coins issued by the Republic of Italy for the purpose of the ECB approval of the total volume of the issuance.
(f) The Court of Justice of the European Communities shall be elected as the body in charge of settling disputes which may arise from the application of the Agreement.
The negotiations with the Republic of San Marino shall be conducted by the Italian Republic and the Commission on behalf of the Community. The Italian Republic and the Commission are empowered to initial the Agreement on behalf of the Community. The ECB shall be fully associated with the negotiations and its agreement shall be required on issues falling in its field of competence. The Italian Republic and the Commission shall submit the draft Agreement to the Economic and Financial Committee (EFC) for opinion.
Upon the initialling of the Agreement, the Commission shall be entitled to conclude the Agreement on behalf of the Community, unless the EFC or the ECB is of the opinion that the Agreement should be submitted to the Council.
This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic, the Commission and the ECB. | 0 | 0 | 0.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.4 | 0.2 |

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2009/151/EC
of 27 November 2009
amending Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council to include tolylfluanid as an active substance in Annex I thereto
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 16(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 of 4 December 2007 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC. That list includes tolylfluanid.
(2) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, tolylfluanid has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 8, wood preservatives, as defined in Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC.
(3) Finland was designated as Rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 24 April 2006 in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.
(4) The competent authority report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 15 May 2009, in an assessment report.
(5) It appears from the examinations made that biocidal products used as wood preservatives and containing tolylfluanid may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC. It is therefore appropriate to include tolylfluanid in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States authorisations for biocidal products used as wood preservatives and containing tolylfluanid can be granted, modified, or cancelled in accordance with Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC.
(6) However, unacceptable risks were identified for the in situ treatment of wood outdoors and for treated wood exposed to weathering. Therefore, products containing tolylfluanid and used as wood preservatives should not be authorised for those uses.
(7) In the light of the findings of the assessment report, it is appropriate to require that risk mitigation measures are applied at product authorisation level to products containing tolylfluanid and used as wood preservatives to ensure that risks are reduced to an acceptable level in accordance with Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC and Annex VI thereto. In particular, it is appropriate to require that products intended for industrial or professional use be used with appropriate protective equipment unless it can be demonstrated that risks for industrial or professional users can be reduced by other means. Appropriate measures should be taken to protect the soil and aquatic compartments since unacceptable risks to these compartments have been identified during the evaluation. Instructions should therefore be provided to indicate that treated timber must be stored after treatment under shelter and/or on impermeable hard standing and that any losses must be collected for reuse or disposal.
(8) It is important that the provisions of this Directive be applied simultaneously in all the Member States in order to ensure equal treatment of biocidal products on the market containing the active substance tolylfluanid and also to facilitate the proper operation of the biocidal products market in general.
(9) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed and to ensure that applicants who have prepared dossiers can benefit fully from the 10-year period of data protection, which, in accordance with Article 12(1)(c)(ii) of Directive 98/8/EC, starts from the date of inclusion.
(10) After inclusion, Member States should be allowed a reasonable period to implement Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC, and in particular, to grant, modify or cancel authorisations of biocidal products in product-type 8 containing tolylfluanid to ensure that they comply with Directive 98/8/EC.
(11) Directive 98/8/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(12) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,
Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.
1. Member States shall adopt and publish, by 30 September 2010 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 October 2011.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(2) It results from regular monitoring of the information providing the basis for the verification of the import prices in the poultrymeat and egg sectors and for egg albumin that the representative prices for imports of certain products should be amended taking into account variations of prices according to origin.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2641/84 of 17 September 1984 on the strengthening of the common commercial policy with regard in particular to protection against illicit commercial practices (1),
After consultation within the Advisory Committee in accordance with the abovementioned Regulation,
Whereas:
A. COMPLAINANT
(1) On 7 January 1991, the Commission received a complaint from the European Community Shipowners' Associations (ECSA, hereafter referred to as 'the complainant') on behalf of shipping lines representing about 90 % of all Community liner shipping companies transporting goods to and from Japan.
B. SUBJECT OF THE COMPLAINT
(2) The complaint alleged that in November 1989 a port charge or fee was introduced by the Japan Harbour Transportation Association (hereafter 'JHTA') on all cargoes moving through Japanese ports for the creation of a so-called 'Harbour Management Fund'. The alleged purpose of this Fund was to ensure a stable and regular supply of dock labour and to update and modernize the Japanese import distribution system. According to the complaint, the Japan Foreign Steamship Association (hereafter 'JFSA'), representing all non-Japanese shipping lines, had originally refused payment. However, as it was allegedly pointed out that refusal to sign an 'agreement' accepting the charge would create a substantial risk that the vessels of the refusing shipping lines would suffer serious difficulties when being loaded or unloaded in Japanese ports, in the end all shipping lines, including those from the Community, signed up to an 'agreement' covering the period from 1 October 1989 to 31 March 1990. Allegedly this 'agreement' was subsequently renewed for the period from 1 April 1990 to 31 March 1991.
(3) The complaint submitted that the charge for the Harbour Management Fund constituted an illicit commercial practice within the meaning of Article 2 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2641/84. Arguments presented were that in practice Community shipping lines were forced to make contributions to the Fund, that they had no real influence over the use of the money collected, that the purpose for which the money was actually used (i.e. the construction of inland distribution centres) represented no benefit to Community shipping lines, and that the charges were discriminatory in the sense that the charge for cabotage trade (reserved to Japanse shipping lines) was only one fourth approximately of the charge for imports and exports.
(4) According to the complaint, this illicit commercial practice should be attributed to Japan, because the Harbour Management Fund had been authorized and guided by the Japanse Ministry of Transport (MOT), and because JHTA itself operated under the guidance of MOT and had obtained through MOT's approval its powerful position as intermediary between dock labour trade unions and shipping lines, a position which easily lent itself to abuse if not properly supervised.
(5) The complaint further alleged that this illicit commercial practice caused injury to Community shipping lines in the order of US$ 4,5 million per year. The uncertainty which the creation of the Fund introduced in trading relations would also pose a threat of injury to EEC - Japan trade in general.
(6) The complaint concluded by urging the Community to take appropriate action to secure the early elimination of the Harbour Management Fund.
C. EXAMINATION PROCEDURE
(7) As the complaint contained sufficient evidence to justify initiating an examination procedure, and as initiating such a procedure was considered to be in the interest of the Community, the Commission, after consultation within the Advisory Committee in accordance with Article 6 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2641/84, announced the initiation of an examination procedure under the said Regulation into the matter of the Japanese Harbour Management Fund in a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (2).
(8) The Commission officially notified the complainant, the Japanese Government and parties directly concerned in Japan of the initiation of the examination procedure. It also gave the parties concerned the opportunity to make their views known in writing and request a hearing. No request for a hearing was received. No written submissions were made at this time.
(9) The Commission commenced the examination at Community level by sending questionnaires to Community shipowners known to be concerned. All addresses replied in a satisfactory manner. The information provided by the most important companies was verified on the spot.
(10) Simultaneously, the Commission commenced the examination on the Japanese side by requesting the information it deemed necessary from the Japanese Government and interested parties in Japan. This information was received only at a very late stage in the procedure, but the Commission nevertheless decided to take it into account.
(11) In accordance with Article 6 (9) of Regulation (EEC) No 2641/84, the Commission reported the findings of its examination to the Advisory Committee established under the said Regulation at the end of the seven months examination period. A non-confidential version of these findings was transmitted to the Japanese Government and the complainant.
(12) As the Japanese Government indicated that it was willing to cooperate with the Commission to quickly resolve the problem of the Harbour Management Fund, the Commission, after consultation within the Advisory Committee, decided to extend the examination procedure to permit the necessary consultations with the Japanese Government. A notice of this extension was published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (3).
(13) During the consultations with the Japanese Government, the Commission received formal assurances that the Harbour Management Fund will be discontinued after 31 March 1992, that it will not continue in a different guise, and that the views of foreign shipping lines regarding the utilization reintroduced of the money collected and not yet disbursed will be adequately reflected. This was later confirmed in writing. The Commission considers that these assurances are satisfactory and should, when duly implemented, result in the removal of the injury to Community shipping lines within the meaning of Article 1 (a) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2641/84.
(14) Under the circumstances described above, the Commission considers that it is in the interest of the Community and of an effective application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2641/84 to suspend the examination procedure. This suspension will be reviewed by the Commission when sufficient time has elapsed after the discontinuation of the Harbour Management Fund so as to give a reasonable guarantee that the scheme will not be reintroduced in a different form.
(15) The Commission has informed the complainant and the Japanese Government of its conclusions and the principal underlying facts and considerations,
The examination procedure concerning illicit commercial practices within the meaning of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2641/84 consisting of the imposition in Japan of a port charge or fee used for the creation of the Harbour Management Fund is herewith suspended until further notice. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

of 20 January 2011
fixing the rates of the refunds applicable to milk and milk products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 164(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 162(1)b of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the difference between prices in international trade for the products referred to in Article 1(1)(p) and listed in Part XVI of Annex I to that Regulation and prices within the Union may be covered by an export refund where these goods are exported in the form of goods listed in Part IV of Annex XX to that Regulation.
(2) Commission Regulation (EU) No 578/2010 of 29 June 2010 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1216/2009 as regards the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (2), specifies the products for which a rate of refund is to be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Part IV of Annex XX to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
(3) In accordance with Article 14(1) of Regulation (EU) No 578/2010, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question is to be fixed for a period of the same duration as that for which refunds are fixed for the same products exported unprocessed.
(4) Article 162(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 lays down that the export refund for a product contained in a good may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing.
(5) In the case of certain milk products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, there is a danger that, if high refund rates are fixed in advance, the commitments entered into in relation to those refunds may be jeopardised. In order to avert that danger, it is therefore necessary to take appropriate precautionary measures, but without precluding the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of specific refund rates for the advance fixing of refunds in respect of those products should enable those two objectives to be met.
(6) Article 15(2) of Regulation (EU) No 578/2010 provides that, when the rate of the refund is being fixed, account is to be taken, where appropriate, of aids or other measures having equivalent effect applicable in all Member States in accordance with the Regulation on the common organisation of the agricultural markets to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 578/2010 or to assimilated products.
(7) Article 100(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides for the payment of aid for Union-produced skimmed milk processed into casein if such milk and the casein manufactured from it fulfil certain conditions.
(8) The currently applicable refunds have been fixed by Commission Regulation (EU) No 953/2010 (3). Since new refunds should be fixed, that Regulation should therefore be repealed.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 578/2010 and in Part XVI of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, and exported in the form of goods listed in Part IV of Annex XX to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, shall be fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
Regulation (EU) No 953/2010 is hereby repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 21 January 2011.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.4 | 0.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.2 | 0 |

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (2), and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 3(1) and (2) of Protocol No 1 (3) to the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Tunisia, of the other part (4), opens a tariff quota at a zero rate of duty for imports of untreated olive oil falling within CN codes 1509 10 10 and 1509 10 90, wholly obtained in Tunisia and transported direct from that country to the European Union, up to the limit laid down for each year.
(2) Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1918/2006 of 20 December 2006 opening and providing for the administration of tariff quota for olive oil originating in Tunisia (5) lays down monthly quantitative limits for the issue of import licences.
(3) Import licence applications have been submitted to the competent authorities under Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1918/2006 in respect of a total quantity exceeding the limit laid down for the month of March in Article 2(2) of that Regulation.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Pending ratification by the Member States of the European Community and the ACP States of the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement signed in Cotonou on 23 June 2000, hereinafter referred to as the "Cotonou Agreement"(1), early application of this Agreement is provided for by Decision No 1/2000 of the ACP-EC Council of Ministers of 27 July 2000 regarding transitional measures valid from 2 August 2000 until the entry into force of the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement(2).
(2) In order to facilitate the transition to the new trading arrangements, and in particular the Economic Partnership Agreements, the non-reciprocal trade preferences applied under the Fourth ACP-EC Convention should be maintained during the preparatory period until 31 December 2007 for all ACP States, under the conditions defined in Annex V to the Cotonou Agreement.
(3) For agricultural products originating in the ACP States and listed in Annex I to the Treaty or subject to specific rules as a result of the implementation of the common agricultural policy, Article 1(a) of Annex V to the Cotonou Agreement provides for a more favourable treatment than that granted to third countries benefiting from the most-favoured-nation clause for the same products.
(4) In Declaration XXII to the Cotonou Agreement concerning agricultural products referred to in Article 1(a) of Annex V, the Community declared that it will take all the measures required to ensure that the corresponding agricultural regulations are adopted in good time.
(5) It should be specified that the advantages resulting from Annex V to the Cotonou Agreement are granted only to originating products within the meaning of its Protocol 1 concerning the definition of the concept of "originating products" and methods of administrative cooperation.
(6) For reasons of simplification and transparency, a complete list of the products concerned and the specific import provisions applicable to them should be contained in an Annex, with references to tariff quotas, tariff ceilings or reference quantities contained in a separate Annex.
(7) There have traditionally been trade flows from the ACP States to the French overseas departments and measures should therefore be maintained to encourage the import of certain products originating in the ACP States into the French overseas departments to cover local consumption requirements, including consumption following processing. Provisions should also be made for altering the arrangements governing access to the markets for products originating in the ACP States referred to in Annex V to the Cotonou Agreement, particularly in the light of the said departments' economic development requirements.
(8) Although the tariff advantages resulting from Annex V to the Cotonou Agreement are calculated on the basis of rates laid down in the Common Customs Tariff, and in accordance with the rules governing it, they should be calculated on the basis of the autonomous duty where, for the products concerned, that duty is lower than the conventional duty.
(9) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission(3).
(10) It should be stipulated that the rules on safeguard measures provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No 2285/2002 on the safeguard measures provided for in the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 3705/90(4) apply to the products covered by this Regulation.
(11) Since this Regulation is to replace Council Regulation (EC) No 1706/98 of 20 July 1998 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP States) and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 715/90(5), that Regulation should be repealed.
(12) As this Regulation implements international commitments, which the Community has already made, the Regulation enters into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities,
Scope
1. This Regulation shall apply to the import of products originating in the ACP States, parties to the Cotonou Agreement.
2. The rules of origin applicable to the products referred to in paragraph 1 shall be those in Protocol 1 of Annex V to the Cotonou Agreement.
3. Agricultural products originating in the ACP States shall be imported under the arrangements of Annex I to this Regulation, subject to the specific arrangements contained in Annex II.
Specific provisions regarding certain products in Annex I
1. For the purposes of the tariff ceilings and reference quantities referred to in Annex II the provisions of Article 308d of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code(6) shall apply.
2. If in the course of the calendar year the tariff ceiling, as provided for in Annex II, has been reached, the Commission may in accordance with the procedure in Article 7(2) adopt a Regulation re-establishing, until the end of the calendar year, the customs duties applicable to third countries in respect of imports of the products concerned. The duties applicable shall be reduced by 50 %.
3. If in the course of a calendar year imports of a product exceed the reference quantity, as referred to in Annex II, a decision may be taken by the Commission in accordance with the procedure in Article 7(2) to make the imports subject to a tariff ceiling equal to the reference quantity, having regard to the annual balance of trade in the product.
4. When reference is made to this Article, the duty reduction referred to in Annex I shall not be applied when the Community, in accordance with its Uruguay Round commitments, applies additional duties.
5. If an ACP State is not able to supply its annual allocation within quota 18, as provided for in Annex II, as a result of an actual or foreseeable decline of its exports due to a disaster such as drought, or cyclone or due to animal diseases and it does not wish to benefit from the possibility of delivery in the current or following calendar year, it may request, by 1 September of each calendar year at the latest, to reallocate the relevant quantities among the other States concerned, up to the limit of 52100 tonnes, expressed in boneless meat.
A decision on this request for reallocation shall be taken in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 6(2).
6. The tariff quotas Q9, Q10, Q13a, Q13b, Q14, Q15, Q16 and Q17 referred to in Annexes I and II shall be managed in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
7. Where, in the course of a year, imports into the Community of products falling within CN codes 0201, 0202, 0206 10 95, 0206 29 91, 1602 50 10 or 1602 90 61, originating in an ACP State exceed, during a year, a quantity equivalent to the quantity of imports into the Community during whichever year between 1969 and 1974 Community imports of products of that origin were highest, plus an annual growth rate of 7 %, exemption from customs duties on the products of that origin shall be partially or totally suspended.
French overseas departments
1. Subject to paragraphs 3 and 4, customs duties to products with CN codes 0102, 0102 90, 0102 90 05, 0102 90 21, 0102 90 29, 0102 90 41, 0102 90 49, 0102 90 51, 0102 90 59, 0102 90 61, 0102 90 69, 0102 90 71, 0102 90 79, 0201, 0202, 0206 10 95, 0206 29 91, 0709 90 60, 0712 90 19, 0714 10 91, 0714 90 11 and 1005 90 00 shall not be applied to imports into the French overseas departments of products originating in the ACP States or in the overseas countries and territories which are intended for use in the overseas departments and are released on the market there.
2. Customs duty shall not be applied to direct imports into the overseas department of Réunion of rice falling within CN code 1006, excluding rice for sowing falling within CN code 1006 10 10.
3. If imports into the French overseas departments of maize originating in the ACP States or in the overseas countries and territories exceed 25000 tonnes in a calendar year and are causing or are likely to cause serious disturbances on those markets, the Commission shall, at the request of a Member State or on its own initiative, take the necessary measures.
Any Member State may, within three working days of notification of the measure taken by the Commission, refer that measure to the Council.
The Council, acting by a qualified majority, may take a different decision within one month.
4. The exemption from customs duty for products from the French overseas departments falling within CN codes 0714 10 91 and 0714 90 11 shall apply within the limits of an annual quota of 2000 tonnes.
5. Within the limits of an annual quantity of 8000 tonnes, the customs duty fixed pursuant to Article 10(1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(7), shall not be applied to imports into the overseas department of Réunion of wheat bran falling within CN code 2302 30, originating in the ACP States.
Tariff preferences
The tariff preferences provided for by this Regulation shall be calculated on the basis of the rates of the autonomous duty where, for the products concerned that duty is lower than the conventional duty as laid down in the Common Customs Tariff.

The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 6(2) or where appropriate in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 7(2).
Committee procedure

| COUNCIL DECISION of 30 March 1995 authorizing the Federal Republic of Germany to conclude with the Republic of Poland an agreement containing measures derogating from Articles 2 and 3 of the Sixth Directive 77/388/EEC on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes (95/115/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes - Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment (1), and in particular Article 30 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 30 of Directive 77/388/EEC, the Council, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission, may authorize any Member State to conclude with a non-member country or an international organization, an agreement which may contain derogations from the said Directive;
Whereas, by letter officially received by the Secretary General of the Commission on 23 August 1994, the Federal Republic of Germany requested authorization to conclude with the Republic of Poland an agreement concerning the maintenance of frontier bridges linking German motorways to the main roads in Poland, which contains derogations from Articles 2 and 3 of Directive 77/388/EEC;
Whereas, the other Member States were informed on 23 September 1994 of the request for authorization presented by the Federal Republic of Germany;
Whereas in the absence of a special measure only the maintenance work carried out on German territory would be subject to German VAT, that carried out on Polish territory would be outside the scope of Directive 77/388/EEC; whereas, in addition, each importation of goods from Poland into Germany used for the maintenance of frontier bridges would be subject to German VAT;
Whereas the purpose of the derogations provided for in the said Agreement is to simplify the taxation rules for those responsible for carrying out the maintenance work on the frontier bridges;
Whereas the derogations will have only a negligible effect on the Community's own resources arising from VAT,
The Federal Republic of Germany is authorized to conclude with the Republic of Poland an agreement containing measures derogating from Directive 77/388/EEC, hereinafter referred to as 'the agreement`. These derogations are defined in Articles 2 and 3 of this Decision.
By way of derogation from Article 2 (2) of Directive 77/388/EEC, the importation of goods into Germany from Poland is not subject to VAT in so far as these goods are used, under the terms of the agreement, for the maintenance of the frontier bridges. However, the derogation shall not apply to imports of goods undertaken by a public authority.
By way of derogation from Article 3 of Directive 77/388/EEC, the frontier bridges of the Contracting States for which Germany has maintenance responsibility under the agreement shall be considered to be part of German territory as regards deliveries of goods and supplies of services for the maintenance of these bridges.
By way of derogation from Article 3 of Directive 77/388/EEC, the frontier bridges of the Contracting States for which Poland has maintenance responsibility under the agreement shall be considered to be part of Polish territory as regards deliveries of goods and supplies of services for the maintenance of these bridges.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26 June 1964 on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine (1), and in particular Articles 9(2) and 10(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 64/432/EEC lays down rules applicable to trade in the Union in bovine animals and swine. Article 9 of that Directive lays down criteria for the approval of compulsory national control programmes for certain contagious diseases, including Aujeszky’s disease. In addition, Article 10 of that Directive provides that where a Member State considers its territory or part thereof to be free of such diseases, including Aujeszky’s disease, it is to present appropriate supporting documentation to the Commission.
(2) Commission Decision 2008/185/EC of 21 February 2008 on additional guarantees in intra-Community trade of pigs relating to Aujeszky’s disease and criteria to provide information on this disease (2) lays down the additional guarantees for movements of pigs between Member States. Those guarantees are linked to the classification of Member States according to their Aujeszky’s disease status.
(3) Annex I to Decision 2008/185/EC lists Member States or regions thereof which are free of Aujeszky’s disease and where vaccination is prohibited. Annex II to that Decision lists Member States or regions thereof where approved national control programmes for the eradication of Aujeszky’s disease are in place.
(4) Ireland, Northern Ireland and the Italian province of Bolzano are currently listed in Annex II to Decision 2008/185/EC, as a Member State or region thereof where approved national control programmes for the eradication of Aujeszky’s disease have been implemented.
(5) Ireland, the United Kingdom as regards Northern Ireland and Italy as regards the province of Bolzano have now submitted documentation in support of their application to declare those Member States and the province of Bolzano free from Aujeszky’s disease.
(6) Following the evaluation of the supporting documentation submitted by Ireland, by the United Kingdom and by Italy, it is appropriate that Ireland, Northern Ireland and the province of Bolzano are no longer listed in Annex II to Decision 2008/185/EC, but instead be listed in Annex I thereto.
(7) Decision 2008/185/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

Whereas this programme, as modified by letter dated 16 December 1994, was approved by Commission Decision 95/32/EC (1); whereas that Decision was amended by Commission Decisions 95/209/EC (2), 95/416/EC (3) and 96/38/EC (4);
Whereas by letter dated 20 October 1995 Austria notified the Commission, pursuant to Article 143 of the Act of Accession, of a request for Commission authorization to further amend that programme; whereas that request was the subject of amendments by letters dated 5 December 1995 and 10 January 1996;
Whereas the request involves aid for various herbal, medicinal plants, and other minor plants, products not included in Decision 95/32/EC; whereas that Decision, in its Article 3, refers to possible further decisions for products not covered by it; whereas the requests for aid for all products are in accordance with the provisions of the Act of Accession, and in particular Article 138 thereof; whereas the form of the aid on the basis of area reflects principles of the reformed common agricultural policy and so may be deemed to be appropriate,

Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 97/296/EC of 22 April 1997 drawing up the list of third countries from which the import of fishery products is authorised for human consumption(2) lists the countries and territories from which imports of fishery products for human consumption is authorised.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2009/103/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September 2009 relating to insurance against civil liability in respect of the use of motor vehicles, and the enforcement of the obligation to insure against such liability (1), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 30 May 2002 the Agreement between the national insurers’ bureaux of the Member States of the European Economic Area and other Associate States, hereinafter ‘the Agreement’, was concluded. Under the terms of the Agreement each national bureau guaranteed the settlement of claims, in accordance with the provisions of national law on compulsory insurance, in respect of accidents occurring in its territory, caused by vehicles normally based in the territory of another Member State or in the territory of Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Iceland, Norway, Slovakia, Slovenia or Switzerland, whether or not such vehicles are insured.
(2) Commission Decision 2003/564/EC of 28 July 2003 on the application of Council Directive 72/166/EEC, relating to checks on insurance against civil liability in respect of the use of motor vehicles (2) provided that from 1 August 2003 Member States were to refrain from making checks on insurance against civil liability in respect of vehicles which are normally based in the territory of another Member State or in the territory of Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Iceland, Norway, Slovakia, Slovenia or Switzerland.
(3) The Agreement was extended, by Addendum No 1 thereto, to include the bureaux of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta and Poland. Commission Decision 2004/332/EC of 2 April 2004 on the application of Council Directive 72/166/EEC with regard to checks on insurance against civil liability in respect of the use of motor vehicles (3) provided that from 30 April 2004 Member States were to refrain from making checks on insurance against civil liability in respect of vehicles which are normally based in the territory of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta or Poland.
(4) The Agreement was extended, by Addendum No 2 thereto, to include the bureau of Andorra. Commission Decision 2005/849/EC of 29 November 2005 on the application of Council Directive 72/166/EEC with regard to checks on insurance against civil liability in respect of the use of motor vehicles (4) provided that from 1 January 2006 Member States were to refrain from making checks on insurance against civil liability in respect of vehicles which are normally based in the territory of Andorra.
(5) The Agreement was extended, by Addendum No 3 thereto, to include the bureaux of Bulgaria and Romania. Commission Decision 2007/482/EC of 9 July 2007 on the application of Council Directive 72/166/EEC with regard to checks on insurance against civil liability in respect of the use of motor vehicles (5) provided that from 1 August 2007 Member States were to refrain from making checks on insurance against civil liability in respect of vehicles which are normally based in the territory of Bulgaria or Romania. On 29 May 2008, the national insurers’ bureaux consolidated the Agreement integrating the Addenda Nos 1-3.
(6) On 26 May 2011 the national insurers’ bureaux of the Member States and those of Andorra, Croatia, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland signed Addendum No 1 to the consolidated Agreement by which the Agreement was extended to include the national insurers’ bureau of Serbia. The Addendum provides for the practical arrangements to abolish insurance checks in respect of vehicles normally based in the territory of Serbia and which are subject to the Agreement.
(7) Therefore, all the conditions for the removal of checks on motor insurance against civil liability in accordance with Directive 2009/103/EC in respect of vehicles normally based in the territory of Serbia are fulfilled,
As from 1 January 2012, Member States shall refrain from making checks on insurance against civil liability in respect of vehicles which are normally based in the territory of Serbia and which are subject to Addendum No 1 to the Agreement between the national insurers’ bureaux of the Member States of the European Economic Area and other Associate States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 88(2) thereof,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular Article 141 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 25 October 1999, Finland notified the Commission, pursuant in particular to Article 143 of the Act of Accession and Article 88 of the EC Treaty, a national aid programme implementing in particular Article 141 and comprising other related measures for regions A and B and the Archipelago of regions A and B.
(2) On 6 December 1999, Finland submitted an amended version of the programme.
(3) On 30 July 1996, following an earlier Finnish notification, the Commission adopted Decision 97/428/EC(1) approving a Finnish aid programme implementing in particular Article 141 of the Act concerning the conditions of accession of the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden and other related measures,
(4) Under the amended version of the notification submitted by Finland, certain aid measures previously authorised by the Commission in Decision 97/428/EC are discontinued, other authorised aids are maintained, the duration of certain aids is extended to the end of 2003 and certain new aids are introduced to apply from 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2003.
(5) In Article 1(a) of Decision 97/428/EC, the Commission, acting pursuant to Article 141 of the Act of Accession, approved from 1 January 1997 to 31 December 2001 a national aid for farmers with a development plan for investments in primary production (on-farm agriculture and horticultural activities) that do not entail an increase of the total production capacity of the sector existing on the date of adoption of that Decision (30 July 1996), amounting at most to 50 % of the total cost of investments in the pigmeat, poultrymeat and eggs sectors and to 75 % of that same cost in other sectors, subject to compliance with the individual maximum limits laid down by Commission Decision C(96) 733 of 19 April 1996. Article 1 (b) of Decision 97/428/EC also authorises aid to be granted for up to five years as an income support where there is a change of production.
(6) Finland has requested the Commission to extend the authorisation of this aid for investments in primary production to 31 December 2003.
(7) The data sent by Finland pursuant to Article 3 of Decision 97/428/EC indicates that this aid for investments in primary production helps, through structural improvements, to maintain and improve existing production patterns; the request to extend the duration of this aid should be accepted for this reason.
(8) In Article 2 of Decision 97/428/EC, the Commission has authorised certain aid measures for an indefinite duration in accordance with Article 88 of the Treaty.
(9) In its notification, Finland has indicated that it intends to discontinue some of these measures, but to maintain the aid for the development of quality systems referred to in Article 2(d) of Decision 97/428/EC and the additional aids referred to in Article 2(e) of that Decision.
(10) There is no reason to review the previous assessment of the Commission that these aids can be considered compatible with the common market. These aids therefore continue to be authorised in accordance with Decision 97/428/EC.
(11) In its notification of 25 October 1999, Finland also asked the Commission to approve, under Article 141 of the Act of Accession, from 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2003, certain direct payments to producers in the animal husbandry, milk and horticultural production sectors.
(12) In accordance with Article 141 of the Act of Accession, the Commission may authorise Finland to grant national aids to producers so as to facilitate their full integration into the common agricultural policy where there are serious difficulties resulting from accession which remain after full utilisation of the provisions of Articles 138, 139, 140 and 142 and of the other measures resulting from the rules existing in the Community.
(13) In accordance with Article 137(3) of the Act of Accession, the period during which aid under Articles 138, 139 and 140 may be granted expired on 31 December 1999.
(14) Article 142 of the Act of Accession does not apply to the regions included in the national aid programme notified to the Commission on 25 October 1999.
(15) Due to climatic conditions, as well as to the small size of the farms and the higher levels of fixed costs, the profitability of agricultural production in Southern Finland is very low.
(16) The data sent by Finland shows that a sudden reduction in support due to the expiry of aid under Articles 138, 139 and 140 of the Act of Accession would cause severe problems in that reducing farmers' income significantly would endanger the continuation of agricultural production in Southern Finland.
(17) Although some improvement was achieved in recent years, further structural adjustment of the farm sector in Southern Finland is still needed in order to ensure the effective integration of Finnish agriculture into the common agricultural policy.
(18) The Commission took the view in Decision 97/428/EC that aid under Article 141 of the Act of Accession should address structural inefficiencies that could be changed in order to facilitate the full integration of producers into the common agricultural policy.
(19) In the light of experience, however, it appears that transitional and degressive direct income payments may be seen as a necessary complement to a structural adjustment policy, providing that such payments are essentially intended to accompany structural adaptation, do not hinder the realisation of the necessary structural changes and are limited to the period of time necessary.
(20) However, given the length of time necessary to achieve long-term structural change, it is appropriate to set the duration of the aid authorised by the present Decision to the period expiring on 31 December 2003.
(21) The total amount of production eligible for support should be limited to that which was previously eligible for aid pursuant to Article 138 of the Act of Accession. The production in question is less than 1 % of Community production in all the relevant sectors, and is not therefore expected to have a serious effect on the Community markets.
(22) Finland should be required to provide a detailed report on all measures and sectors concerned before 30 June 2003, including an assessment of the results of these measures in solving the serious difficulties and in assisting the full integration of Finnish farmers in the common agricultural policy.
(23) As regards the livestock sector, for reasons of administrative efficiency, Finland has asked to apply an aid per livestock unit in certain cases rather than aid per kilogramme or per animal,
The Commission authorises Finland to continue to grant the aid referred to in Article 1(a) of Decision 97/428/EC until 31 December 2003.
1. The Commission authorises Finland to grant, from 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2003, the aid referred to in Annex I, up to the maximum amount indicated in the table.
2. The aid referred to in paragraph 1 shall be granted within the following limits:
- for cows' milk: the individual references quantities of the farmers concerned in accordance with Council Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92(2);
- for bovine animals: the ceilings provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999(3) (Annexes I and II);
- for male bovine animals: 90 head per holding;
- for suckler cows and male bovine animals: the total number of animals receiving aid cannot exceed a density factor equal to 2 LU/ha of forage area;
- for ewes and goats: the individual limit allocated to producers in application of Article 10 of Council Regulation (EC) No 2467/98(4).
The Commission authorises Finland to grant an additional aid per bull during the adjustment period from January to June 2000, up to the maximum mentioned in Annex II, due to the change in the aid system from slaughter-related aid to aid per livestock unit.

| COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2196/96 of 15 November 1996 setting export refunds on fruit and vegetables
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1363/95 (2), and in particular Article 26 (11) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 2190/96 (3) lays down implementing rules for export refunds on fruit and vegetables for A1 and A2 licences applied for from 18 November 1996 and for B type licences applied for in respect of exports for which the export declaration is accepted after 24 November 1996;
Whereas it should be borne in mind that Regulation (EC) No 1488/95 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2702/95 (5), must continue to apply to licences without advance fixing applied for after 24 November 1996 for exports for which an export declaration is accepted before 25 November 1996;
Whereas Article 26 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 states that, to the extent necessary to permit economically significant exportation, the difference between prices in international trade of the products listed in that Article and their prices in the Community may be covered by export refunds;
Whereas Article 26 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 states that refunds must be fixed with regard to the existing situation and outlook for fruit and vegetable prices on the Community market and supply availability, on the one hand, and prices in international trade on the other hand; whereas account must also be taken of the costs referred to in (b) of that paragraph and of the economic aspect of the envisaged exports;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 26 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, refunds are to be set with due regard to the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 228 of the Treaty;
Whereas Article 26 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 states that prices on the Community market are to be determined taking account of those most favourable from the exportation standpoint; whereas international trade prices are to be determined with account taken of the prices referred to in the second subparagraph of that paragraph;
Whereas the international trade situation or the special requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund on a given product depending on the destination of that product;
Whereas economically significant exports can be made at the present time of tomatoes, lemons, oranges and apples of classes 'extra`, I and II of the common quality standards, table grapes of classes 'extra` and I, shelled almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts in shell;
Whereas the representative market rates as defined in Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 150/95 (7), are used to convert amounts in third country currencies and are the basis for determining the agricultural conversion rates of the Member States' currencies; whereas rules for determining and applying these conversion rates were laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1068/93 (8), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1482/96 (9);
Whereas application of the rules mentioned above to the present and forecast market situation, in particular to fruit and vegetable prices in the Community and in international trade, leads to the refund rates set in the Annexes hereto;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 26 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, the most efficient possible use should be made of the resources available without creating discrimination between traders; whereas, therefore, care should be taken not to disturb the trade flows previously induced by the refund arrangements; whereas, for these reasons and because of the seasonal nature of exports of fruit and vegetables, quotas should be fixed for each product;
Whereas, on account of the market situation and in order that the most efficient possible use can be made of the resources available, and in view of the structure of Community exports, the most appropriate method should be selected for export refunds on certain products and consequently refunds under the A1 and A2 licence arrangements referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2190/96 should not be set simultaneously for the export period in question; whereas under the A2 arrangements a distinction should be made between close and more remote destinations;
Whereas, with due regard to the amendment made by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1222/96 (10), the figure 9 is to be regarded as included in the nomenclature code for refunds after the eight figures for the combined nomenclature subheadings from 1 January 1997;
Whereas the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
1. The export refunds on fruit and vegetables shall be those fixed in the Annex hereto.
2. Quantities for which licences are issued in the context of food aid, as referred to in Article 14a of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (11), shall not count against the eligible quantities referred to in paragraph 1.
3. Without prejudice to the application of Article 4 (5) of Regulation (EC) No 2190/96 the period of validity of A1 and A2 licences shall be two months.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 18 November 1996.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 |
