Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 1873/94 of 27 July 1994 fixing, for the 1994/95 marketing year, certain sugar prices and the standard quality of beet (3), fixed the intervention price for white sugar at ECU 52,33 per 100 kilograms applicable for the non-deficit areas;
Whereas Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that derived intervention prices for white sugar are to be fixed for each of the deficit areas; whereas, for such fixing, it is appropriate that account be taken of the regional variations in the price of sugar, which, given a normal harvest and free movement of sugar, might be expected to occur in the price of sugar under natural conditions of price formation on the market;
Whereas a deficit supply situation is to be foreseen in the areas of production in Italy, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Spain and Portugal;
Whereas Article 3 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that an intervention price for raw sugar shall be fixed; whereas such price should be established on the basis of the intervention price for white sugar;

Whereas Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that the threshold price for white sugar shall be equal to the target price, plus costs, calculated at a flat rate, of transport from the Community area having the largest surplus to the most distant deficit consumption area in the Community, plus a flat-rate amount which takes into account the storage levy; whereas, given the state of supplies within the Community, account should be taken of transport charges between the departments of northern France and Palermo;
Whereas the threshold price for raw sugar is to be derived from the threshold price for white sugar by reference to a processing margin and a standard yield;
Whereas the threshold price for molasses should be fixed in such a way that the receipts from sales of molasses may reach the level of receipts of undertakings taken into account in the fixing of basic prices for beet;
Whereas Article 5 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1358/77 of 20 June 1977 laying down general rules for offsetting storage costs for sugar and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 750/68 (4) provides that the amount of repayment in the context of the compensation for storage costs shall be fixed per month and per unit of weight, taking account of financing costs, insurance costs and specific storage costs,
For the deficit areas of the Community, the derived intervention price for white sugar shall be fixed, per 100 kilograms, at:
(a) ECU 53,54 for all the areas in the United Kingdom;
(b) ECU 53,54 for all the areas in Ireland;
(c) ECU 53,54 for all the areas in Portugal;

The threshold price shall be:
(a) ECU 63,18 per 100 kilograms of white sugar;
(b) ECU 53,99 per 100 kilograms of raw sugar;
(c) ECU 6,80 per 100 kilograms of molasses.
The amount of the reimbursement referred to in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 shall be ECU 0,40 per month per 100 kilograms of white sugar.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 August 1994. However, Article 5 shall apply with effect from 1 July 1994.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

of 11 March 2008
amending Directive 2006/48/EC relating to the taking up and pursuit of the business of credit institutions, as regards the implementing powers conferred on the Commission
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the first and third sentences of Article 47(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal of the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Central Bank (2),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (3),
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2006/48/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) provides that certain measures are to 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 (5).
(2) Decision 1999/468/EC has been amended by Decision 2006/512/EC, which introduced the regulatory procedure with scrutiny for the adoption of measures of general scope and designed to amend non-essential elements of a basic instrument adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 251 of the Treaty, inter alia, by deleting some of those elements or by supplementing the instrument with new non-essential elements.
(3) In accordance with the statement by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission (6) concerning Decision 2006/512/EC, for the regulatory procedure with scrutiny to be applicable to instruments adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 251 of the Treaty which are already in force, those instruments must be adjusted in accordance with the applicable procedures.
(4) The Commission should be empowered to adopt technical adjustments and implementing measures to take account, inter alia, of technical developments in financial markets and to ensure the uniform application of Directive 2006/48/EC. Those measures are designed to specify definitions, modify the scope of exemptions and elaborate or supplement the provisions of that Directive through technical adaptations related to the determination of own funds and the organisation, calculation and evaluation of risks and exposures. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of Directive 2006/48/EC, inter alia, by supplementing it with new non-essential elements, they must be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.
(5) Directive 2006/48/EC provides for a time restriction concerning the implementing powers conferred on the Commission. In their statement concerning Decision 2006/512/EC, the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission stated that Decision 2006/512/EC provides a horizontal and satisfactory solution to the European Parliament’s wish to scrutinise the implementation of instruments adopted under the co-decision procedure and that, accordingly, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission without time limit. The European Parliament and the Council also declared that they would ensure that the proposals aimed at repealing the provisions in the instruments that provide for a time limit on the delegation of implementing powers to the Commission are adopted as rapidly as possible. Following the introduction of the regulatory procedure with scrutiny, the provision establishing that time restriction in Directive 2006/48/EC should be deleted.
(6) The Commission should, at regular intervals, evaluate the functioning of the provisions concerning the implementing powers conferred on it in order to allow the European Parliament and the Council to determine whether the extent of those powers and the procedural requirements imposed on the Commission are appropriate and ensure both efficiency and democratic accountability.
(7) Directive 2006/48/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) Since the amendments made to Directive 2006/48/EC by this Directive are technical in nature and concern committee procedure only, they do not need to be transposed by the Member States. It is therefore not necessary to lay down provisions to that effect,
Amendments
Directive 2006/48/EC is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 150 shall be amended as follows:
(a) in paragraph 1, the introductory wording shall be replaced by the following:
(b) paragraph 2 shall be amended as follows:
(i) in the introductory wording, the words ‘in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 151(2)’ shall be deleted;
(ii) the following subparagraph shall be added:
(c) paragraphs 3 and 4 shall be deleted;
2. Article 151 shall be amended as follows:
(a) paragraph 2 shall be replaced by the following:
(b) the following paragraph shall be inserted:
(c) paragraph 3 shall be replaced by the following:

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1119/89 (2), and in particular Article 27 (1) thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 23 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, reference prices valid for the whole Community are to be fixed at the beginning of the marketing year;
Whereas artichokes are produced in such quantities in the Community that reference prices should be fixed for them;
Whereas artichokes harvested during a given crop year are marketed from October to September of the following year; whereas the quantities harvested in the months July to October are so small that there is no need to fix reference prices for these months; whereas reference prices should be fixed only for the period 1 November up to and including 30 June of the following year;
Whereas Article 23 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 stipulates that reference prices are to be fixed at the same level as for the preceding marketing year, adjusted, after deducting the standard cost of transporting Community products between production areas and Community consumption centres in the preceding year, by:
- the increase in production costs for fruit and vegetables, less productivity growth, and
- the standard rate of transport costs in the current marketing year;
Whereas the resulting figure may nevertheless not exceed the arithmetic mean of producer prices in each Member State plus transport costs for the current year, after this amount has been increased by the rise in production costs less productivity growth; whereas the reference price may, however, not be lower than in the preceding marketing year;
Whereas, to take seasonal price variations into account, the marketing year should be divided into several periods and a reference price fixed for each of these periods;
Whereas producer prices are to correspond to the average of the prices recorded on the representative market or markets situated in the production areas where prices are lowest, during the three years prior to the date on which the reference price is fixed, for a home-grown product with defined commercial characteristics, being a product or variety representing a substantial proportion of the production marketed over the year or over part thereof and satisfying specified requirements as regards market preparation; whereas, when the average of prices recorded on each representative market is being calculated, prices which could be considered excessively high or excessively low in relation to normal price fluctuations on that market are to be disregarded;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 147 of the Act of Accession, Spanish prices shall be used for the purpose of calculating reference prices as and from 1 January 1990;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 272 (3) of the Act of Accession, the prices of Portuguese products will not be used for the purpose of calculating reference prices, during the first stage of accession;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
For the 1989/90 marketing year, the reference prices for artichokes (CN code 0709 10 00), expressed in ecus per 100 kilograms net of packed products of class I, of all sizes, shall be as follows:
- from 1 November to 31 December: 89,38,
- from 1 January to 30 April: 78,83,
- May: 74,95,
- June: 63,53.

granting certain parties an exemption from the extension to certain bicycle parts of the anti-dumping duty on bicycles originating in the People’s Republic of China imposed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2474/93, last maintained and amended by Regulation (EC) No 1095/2005, lifting the suspension and revoking the exemption of the payment of the anti-dumping duty extended to certain bicycle parts originating in the People’s Republic of China granted to certain parties pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 88/97
(notified under document C(2011) 3543)
(2011/304/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (the ‘basic Regulation’),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 71/97 (2) (the ‘extending Regulation’), extending the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 2474/93 (3) on bicycles originating in the People’s Republic of China to imports of certain bicycle parts from the People’s Republic of China, and levying the extended duty on such imports registered under Regulation (EC) No 703/96,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 88/97 of 20 January 1997 on the authorisation of the exemption of imports of certain bicycle parts originating in the People’s Republic of China from the extension by Council Regulation (EC) No 71/97 of the anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2474/93 (4) (the ‘exemption Regulation’), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
(1) After the entry into force of the exemption Regulation, a number of bicycle assemblers submitted requests pursuant to Article 3 of that Regulation for exemption from the anti-dumping duty as extended to imports of certain bicycle parts from the People’s Republic of China by Regulation (EC) No 71/97 (the ‘extended anti-dumping duty’). The Commission has published in the Official Journal successive lists of bicycle assemblers (5) for which the payment of the extended anti-dumping duty in respect of their imports of essential bicycle parts declared for free circulation was suspended pursuant to Article 5(1) of the exemption Regulation.
(2) Following the last publication of the list of parties under examination (6), a main period of examination has been selected. This period was defined as from 1 January 2010 to 31 August 2010. Further information from the years 2008 and 2009 were also requested. A questionnaire was sent to all parties which were to be evaluated, requesting information on the assembly operations conducted during the relevant period of examination.
(3) The Commission was also informed of the liquidation of two companies which were exempted from the extended anti-dumping duty on bicycle parts. Furthermore, a further company failed to comply with the conditions of the Commission Regulation (EC) No 88/97. For these companies the exemption will be revoked.
A. REQUESTS FOR EXEMPTION FOR WHICH SUSPENSION WAS PREVIOUSLY GRANTED
A.1. Acceptable requests for exemption
(4) The Commission received from the parties listed in table 1 below all the information required for the determination of the admissibility of their requests. These parties had already received their suspension with effect from the day of arrival of a first complete application dossier at the Commission’s premises. The newly requested and provided information was examined and verified, where necessary, at the premises of the parties concerned. Based on this information, the Commission found that the requests submitted by the parties listed in table 1 below are admissible pursuant to Article 4(1) of the exemption Regulation.

Wilier Triestina S.P.A. Via Fratel M. Venzo 11/1, 36028 Rossano Veneto (VI) Italy A963
(5) The facts as finally ascertained by the Commission show that for all of these applicants’ bicycle assembly operations, the value of the parts originating in the People’s Republic of China which were used in their assembly operations was lower than 60 % of the total value of the parts used in these assembly operations, and they, therefore, fall outside the scope of Article 13(2) of the basic Regulation.
(6) For this reason, and in accordance with Article 7(1) of the exemption Regulation, the parties listed in the above table should be exempt from the extended anti-dumping duty.
(7) In accordance with Article 7(2) of the exemption Regulation, the exemption of the parties listed in table 1 from the extended anti-dumping duty should take effect as from the date of receipt of their requests. In addition, their customs debt in respect of the extended anti-dumping duty is to be considered void as from the date of receipt of their requests for exemption.
(8) The company Sintema Sport S.R.L. informed the Commission that the postal code of the company will change in April 2011 from 20042 to 20847 due to the change of district of Albiate from Milan district to Monza district.
A.2. Unacceptable requests for exemption

(10) Two parties did not use bicycle parts subject to anti-dumping duty in their assembly operation during the examination period. One party informed the Commission that they do not need the exemption in the future. Two parties did not submit a questionnaire reply and claimed that they had not used bicycle parts subject to anti-dumping duty in their assembly operation. One party is in liquidation.
(11) Since the parties listed in table 2 failed to meet the criteria for exemption, the Commission has to reject their request for exemption, in accordance with Article 7(3) of the exemption Regulation. In the light of this, the suspension of the payment of the extended anti-dumping duty referred to in Article 5 of the exemption Regulation must be lifted and the extended anti-dumping duty must be collected as from the date of receipt of the request submitted by this party.
A.3 Revocations

(13) These parties were exempted from the extended anti-dumping duty on bicycle parts. The Commission was informed now that one of these parties has already been liquidated and one party is in liquidation. Evidence available to the Commission has shown that another company stopped its assembly operations and resold the imported parts to a not exempted party. Although those imports fall outside the scope of the exemption scheme, the company continued to declare those imports under it. Due to the fact that it has no own assembly operation, the company does not fulfil its obligations under Article 8 of the exemption Regulation, i.e. it does not ensure that its assembly operation remains outside the scope of Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 and no conclusive records can be provided showing the use made of the deliveries received. Consequently, the exemption has to be revoked in accordance with Article 10 of the exemption Regulation.
B. REQUESTS FOR EXEMPTION FOR WHICH SUSPENSION WAS NOT PREVIOUSLY GRANTED
(14) Interested parties are hereby informed of the receipt of further requests for exemption, pursuant to Article 3 of the exemption Regulation, from parties listed in table 3. The suspension from the extended duty, following these requests, should take effect as shown in the column headed ‘Date of effect’:

This change of name does not affect the initial request for suspension. The company Müller GmbH received its suspension on 30 March 2010. The additional TARIC code A977 initially given to the company Müller GmbH was erroneously attributed twice and was withdrawn.

(2010/66/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 6(1b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 lays down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) in animals. It requires each Member State to carry out an annual monitoring programme for TSEs, in accordance with Annex III to that Regulation. Those programmes are to cover as a minimum certain subpopulations of bovine animals belonging to specified age groups.
(2) That Regulation also provides that Member States which can demonstrate an improvement of the epidemiological situation of their country, according to certain criteria, may have their annual monitoring programmes revised.
(3) Commission Decision 2009/719/EC (2) authorises the Member States listed in the Annex to that Decision to revise their annual monitoring programmes. It also provides that their programmes are to apply at least to all animals belonging to certain subpopulations of bovine animals above 48 months of age.
(4) On 2 October 2008, Cyprus submitted an application to the Commission to revise its annual monitoring programme as regards BSE.
(5) The Food and Veterinary Office carried out an inspection in Cyprus from 29 June 2009 to 3 July 2009 in order to verify compliance with the epidemiological criteria laid down in point 7 of Part I of Chapter A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001.
(6) The results of that inspection acknowledged the proper implementation in Cyprus of the rules on protective measures regarding bovine spongiform encephalopathies (BSE) laid down in Regulation (EC) No 999/2001. In addition, all the requirements laid down in the third subparagraph of Article 6(1b) and all the epidemiological criteria set out in point 7 of Part I of Chapter A of Annex III to that Regulation were checked and found to be met by Cyprus.
(7) In view of all available information, the application submitted by Cyprus to revise its annual monitoring programme as regards BSE has been favourably evaluated. It is therefore appropriate to authorise Cyprus to revise its annual monitoring programme so that 48 months is the new age limit for BSE testing in that Member State.
(8) The Annex to Decision 2009/719/EC should be amended accordingly.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The Annex to Decision 2009/719/EC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers (1), as last amended by European Parliament and Council Directive 96/79/EC (2), and in particular Article 8 (2) (c) thereof,
Whereas the request submitted by Luxembourg on 18 December 1996, which reached the Commission on 6 January 1997, contains the information required by Article 8 (2) (c); whereas the request concerns the fitting of one type of vehicle with one type of third stop lamp falling within category ECE S3 by virtue of ECE (United Nations Economic Commission for Europe) Regulation No 7 carried out in accordance with ECE Regulation No 48;
Whereas the reasons given in the request, according to which the fitting of the stop lamps and the stop lamps themselves do not meet the requirements of Council Directive 76/758/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to end-outline marker lamps, front position (side) lamps, rear position (side) lamps and stop lamps for motor vehicles and their trailers (3), as last amended by Commission Directive 97/30/EC (4), and of Council Directive 76/756/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices on motor vehicles and their trailers (5), as last amended by Commission Directive 97/28/EC (6), are well founded; whereas the descriptions of the tests, the results thereof and their compliance with ECE Regulations No 7 and No 48 ensure a satisfactory level of safety;
Whereas the Community directives concerned will be amended in order to permit the production and fitting of such stop lamps;
Whereas the measure provided for by this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Adaptation to Technical Progress set up by Directive 70/156/EEC,
The request submitted by Luxembourg for an exemption concerning the production and fitting of one type of third stop lamp falling within category ECE S3 by virtue of ECE Regulation No 7 and the fitting thereof in accordance with ECE Regulation No 48 on the type of vehicle for which it is intended is hereby approved.

32005R2147 | Commission Regulation (EC) No 2147/2005 of 23 December 2005 fixing the export refunds on beef and veal
| 24.12.2005 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 342/12
COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2147/2005
of 23 December 2005
fixing the export refunds on beef and veal
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1), and in particular Article 33, paragraph 3, third indent, thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulations (EEC) No 32/82 (2), (EEC) No 1964/82 (3), (EEC) No 2388/84 (4), (EEC) No 2973/79 (5) and (EC) No 2051/96 (6) lay down the conditions for granting special export refunds on certain cuts of beef and veal and certain preserved beef and veal products, and the conditions for granting of assistance concerning certain destinations.
(3) The increasing shortage of beef and veal on the Community market has pushed prices significantly beyond the basic price as referred to in Article 26(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999, which represents the desired support level on the Community market.
(4) There is increasing general public concern for the welfare of animals which are exported over particularly long distances and for which humane treatment cannot be completely ensured, in particular once they are delivered in third countries. As regards transport, although the conditions for transport of live animals are subject to massive substantive, procedural and control requirements that were reinforced in 2003 experience shows that the respect of animal welfare conditions is not always ensured. Moreover, animal welfare standards in the countries of destination are often lower than in the Community.
(5) Exports of live animals for slaughter represent a lower value added for the Community and export refunds granted for the export of those animals imply higher costs for the monitoring and control of animal welfare conditions. Therefore, in order to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the internal market, as well as the welfare of animals, exports of live animals for slaughter to third countries should no longer be encouraged by virtue of export refunds.
(6) As to live animals for reproduction, in order to prevent any abuse, export refunds for pure-bred breeding animals should be limited to heifers and cows of no more than 30 months of age.
(7) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2000/2005 of 7 December 2005 fixing the export refunds on beef and veal (7) should therefore be repealed.
(8) In order to enable some Community beef and veal products to be disposed of on the international market, export refunds should be granted for certain destinations on some products under CN codes 0201, 0202 and 1602 50.
(9) The uptake of export refunds for certain categories of beef and veal products proves to be insignificant. This is also the case with regard to the uptake for certain destinations very close to the Community territory. For such categories, export refunds should no longer be fixed.
(10) The refunds provided for in this Regulation are set on the basis of the product codes as defined in the nomenclature adopted by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 of 17 December 1987 establishing an agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds (8).
(11) The refunds on all frozen cuts should be in line with those on fresh or chilled cuts other than those from adult male bovine animals.
(12) Checks on products covered by CN code 1602 50 should be stepped up by making the granting of refunds on these products conditional on manufacture under the arrangements provided for in Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 565/80 of 4 March 1980 on the advance payment of export refunds in respect of agricultural products (9).
(13) Refunds should be granted only on products that are allowed to move freely in the Community. Therefore, to be eligible for a refund, products should be required to bear the health mark laid down in Council Directive 64/433/EEC of 26 June 1964 on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in fresh meat (10), Council Directive 77/99/EEC of 21 December 1976 on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in meat products (11) and Council Directive 94/65/EC of 14 December 1994 laying down the requirements for the production and placing on the market of minced meat and meat preparations (12).
(14) Pursuant to the third subparagraph of Article 6(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1964/82, the special refund is to be reduced if the quantity of boned meat to be exported amounts to less than 95 %, but not less than 85 %, of the total weight of cuts produced by boning.
(15) The negotiations within the framework of the Europe Agreements between the European Community and Romania and Bulgaria aim in particular to liberalise trade in products covered by the common organisation of the market concerned. For these two countries export refunds should therefore be abolished. That abolition should not, however, lead to a differentiated refund for exports to other countries.
(16) The Management Committee for Beef and Veal has not given an opinion within the time limit set by its President,
1. The list of products on which export refunds as referred to in Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 are granted, and the amount thereof and the destinations, shall be as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
2. The products must meet the relevant health marking requirements of:
— Chapter XI of Annex I to Directive 64/433/EEC,
— Chapter VI of Annex B to Directive 77/99/EEC,
— Chapter VI of Annex I to Directive 94/65/EC.
In the case referred to in the third subparagraph of Article 6(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1964/82 the rate of the refund on products falling within product code 0201 30 00 9100 shall be reduced by 10 EUR/100 kg.
The fact that no export refund is set for Romania and Bulgaria shall not be deemed to constitute a differentiation of the refund.
Regulation (EC) No 2000/2005 is repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 24 December 2005.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

Whereas by Decision 68/301/EEC (1), as amended by Decision 68/406/EEC (2), the Commission authorized the French Republic to take certain measures pursuant to Article 108 (3) of the Treaty; whereas the increase in the prices of petroleum products in 1979/80, the pressures on the French franc and the lack of cyclical synchronization with the partner countries since 1981 have gradually led to a pronounced deterioration of the deficit on the basic balance;
Whereas the French authorities have introduced an economic policy programme with a view to restoring a sustainable balance-of-payments situation, reducing the rate of inflation and ensuring better convergence of economic performance within the Community; whereas on 16 May 1983 the Council decided, in view of that programme, to grant the French Republic a loan of 4 000 million ECU pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 682/81 (3) in order to facilitate the adjustment of the French economy;
Whereas the balance on current transactions and the balance on long-term capital, excluding authorized borrowing by residents from abroad, are still in deficit; whereas it is important to stabilize and later reduce the cost of external indebtedness, which has increased considerably, notably as a result of the appreciation of the dollar and the rise, in real terms, in international interest rates;
Whereas immediate and complete abrogation of the protective measures France was authorized to take would expose the French economy to destabilizing capital movements and the risk of seriously compromising the current process of restoring external equilibrium; whereas it is therefore appropriate to maintain certain exchange controls on the capital movements liberalized on principle;
Whereas the French authorities have relaxed the protective measures originally taken by way of derogation from Community obligations in the area of freedom of capital movements; whereas they are determined to continue the process of relaxation to match the degree of success in restoring a healthy balance of payments,
1. The French Republic is authorized, temporarily and within the limits of the measures listed in the Annex hereto, to prohibit or subject to prior exchange authorization, the conclusion or performance of transactions and transfers relating to the capital movements liberalized at the date of this Decision pursuant to Articles 1 and 2 of the Council Directive of 11 May 1960 (First Directive for the implementation of Article 67 of the Treaty), as amended by the Directive of 18 December 1962.
2. Unless otherwise provided for by the Commission under the conditions laid down in Article 2 (3), this Decision shall remain in force for two years from the date of its adoption.
1. The Commission shall keep the economic situation in France under close review.
2. It reserves the right to amend or repeal this Decision, after consulting the Member State concerned, if it finds that the circumstances underlying its adoption change significantly or that its effects are more restrictive than necessary for the attainment of its aim.
3. If the Member State to which this Decision is addressed claims, before the expiration of the period of validity, that its balance of payments is still in difficulties or seriously threatened with difficulties, the Commission shall review the overall economic situation with a view to determining whether the protective measures still applied should be renewed in whole or in part.
Decision 68/301/EEC of 23 July 1968 is hereby repealed.
This Decision is addressed to the French Republic. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

Having regard to Council Regulation (EU) No 267/2012 of 23 March 2012 concerning restrictive measures against Iran (1), and in particular Article 46(1) and (2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 23 March 2012, the Council adopted Regulation (EU) No 267/2012.
(2) On 20 December 2012, the United Nations Security Council Committee established pursuant to United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1737 (2006) amended the list of persons and entities subject to the travel ban and asset freeze pursuant to UNSCR 1737 (2006), UNSCR 1747 (2007), UNSCR 1803 (2008) and UNSCR 1929 (2010), adding two entities to that list.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/675/EEC of 10 December 1990 laying down the principles governing the organization of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (1), and in particular Article 19 thereof,
Whereas in accordance with Article 19 of Directive 90/675/EEC the necessary decisions shall be adopted in particular concerning the importation of certain products from third countries in which any phenomenon liable to present a serious threat to animal or public health appears or spreads;
Whereas an epidemic of cholera is developing in Ecuador; whereas this disease presents a serious threat to public health and whereas the cholera agent may contaminate animals as well as animal products;
Whereas a mission of Community experts has visited Ecuador in order to examine the situation and to study the guarantees necessary to avoid the risk of introducing cholera into the Community;
Whereas fishery and aquaculture products originating in Ecuador must be covered by appropriate guarantees; whereas guarantees given by the competent official authorities of Ecuador must be considered sufficient;
Whereas the abovementioned guarantees shall apply without prejudice to conditions applicable, despite this exceptional situation, to imports from Ecuador;
Whereas provisions should be laid down to ensure that effective checks can be carried out on products accompanied by certificates in the Member State where they are intended to be released for consumption and that the provisions of this Decision are reviewed where a check on imports reveals the presence of the cholera agent;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
Article 1
Member States shall authorize importation of fishery and aquaculture products from Ecuador provided that each consignment is accompanied by the relevant official certificate issued by the National Fishery Institute (INP) in accordance with the Ecuadorian legislation and containing the following information:
- number and date,
- description of consignment and nature of processing,
- licence number of exporter,
- signature of the official representative of the INP. Article 2
Member States shall prohibit the reshipment of the products referred to in Article 1 to the territory of the other Member States, unless the products are introduced into a port or airport and that they are destined for another port or airport equipped with an inspection post and that the products are transported, as the case may be, by sea or air. Article 3
If, during an import check, the authorities of the Member States discover the presence of the cholera agent, they shall so inform the Commission and the other Member States immediately, without prejudice to measures to be taken in respect of the contaminated consignment. Article 4
The Commission shall follow the development of the situation and this Decision shall be amended immediately in the light of that development and in particular in the case provided for in Article 3. Article 5

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1193/90 (2), and in particular the last subparagraph of Article 18 (1) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1677/85 of 11 June 1985 on monetary compensatory amounts in agriculture (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1889/87 (4), and in particular Article 6 (3) thereof,
Whereas the market in tomatoes grown under glass has different characteristics from those of the market in open-grown tomatoes; whereas tomatoes grown under glass are mainly 'Extra' class and class I products, the prices for which are considerably higher than those for open-grown prodcuts;
Whereas, in order to provide more effective support for the market in tomatoes grown under glass, producers' organizations or associations of such organizations should be allowed to fix their withdrawal price at a level higher than the Community withdrawal price; whereas, in accordance with the last subparagraph of Article 18 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, it appears that the maximum level of the withdrawal price for these products in the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 can justifiably be fixed by applying, to the prices fixed for the 1989 marketing year, a variation of the same order as that applied by the Council when fixing the basic prices and buying-in-prices for tomatoes for the 1990 marketing year;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 784/90 of 29 March 1990 fixing the reducing coefficient for agricultural prices in the 1990/91 marketing year as a result of the monetary realignment of 5 January 1990 and amending the prices and amounts fixed in ecus for that marketing year (5) establishes the list of prices and amounts to which the coefficient 1,001712 is applied in the framework of the arrangements on the automatic dismantiement of negative monetary gaps; whereas the prices and amounts fixed in ecus by the Commission for the 1990/91 marketing year must take account of the resulting reduction;
Whereas a maximum withdrawal price must be fixed for Spain for tomatoes grown under glass for the 1990 marketing year; whereas this maximum price can justifiably be fixed at 55,5 % of the maximum price applicable in the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 to produce a difference equal to that existing between the basic and buying-in prices applicable in the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 and those applicable in Spain for the 1990 marketing year;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
For the 1990 marketing year, producers' organizations or associations of such organizations may fix withdrawal prices, not exceeding the following maxima, in ecus per 100 kilograms net, for tomatoes grown under glass:
1.2.3 // // // // // Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 // Spain // // // // June (11 to 20) (21 to 30) // 30,21 27,79 // 16,77 15,42 // July (1 to 10) (11 to 20) (21 to 31) // 26,02 24,37 22,59 // 14,44 13,52 12,54 // August // 22,59 // 12,54 // September // 22,59 // 12,54 // October // 22,59 // 12,54 182, 3. 7. 1987, p. 1. (5) OJ No L 83, 30. 3. 1990, p. 102.
The producers' organizations shall supply the following information to the national authorities, who shall communicate it to the Commission:
- the period during which withdrawal prices are applicable,
- the levels of withdrawal prices proposed and of those applied.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 11 June 1990.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2), and in particular Article 7(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, production refunds may be granted on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) and (f) of that Regulation, on syrups listed in Article 1(1)(d) thereof and on chemically pure fructose covered by CN code 1702 50 00 as an intermediate product, that are in one of the situations referred to in Article 23(2) of the Treaty and are used in the manufacture of certain products of the chemical industry.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards granting the production refund on certain sugar products used in the chemical industry(3) lays down the rules for determining the production refunds and specifies the chemical products the basic products used in the manufacture of which attract a production refund. Articles 5, 6 and 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provide that the production refund applying to raw sugar, sucrose syrups and unprocessed isoglucose is to be derived from the refund fixed for white sugar in accordance with a method of calculation specific to each basic product.
(3) Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provides that the production refund on white sugar is to be fixed at monthly intervals commencing on the first day of each month. It may be adjusted in the intervening period where there is a significant change in the prices for sugar on the Community and/or world markets. The application of those provisions results in the production refund fixed in Article 1 of this Regulation for the period shown.
(4) As a result of the amendment to the definition of white sugar and raw sugar in Article 1(2)(a) and (b) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, flavoured or coloured sugars or sugars containing any other added substances are no longer deemed to meet those definitions and should thus be regarded as "other sugar". However, in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001, they attract the production refund as basic products. A method should accordingly be laid down for calculating the production refund on these products by reference to their sucrose content.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The production refund on white sugar referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 shall be equal to 40,754 EUR/100 kg net.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 April 2003.

Whereas Article 81 (1) of the Act of Accession makes imports of breadmaking common wheat subject to the abovementioned mechanism in Spain;
Whereas Article 84 (1) of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal provides for the determination of guide quantities until 31 December 1989 only; whereas, in view of the fact that from 1 January 1990, only an indicative ceiling is fixed, the detailed rules for the application of the supplementary trade mechanism laid down in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 598/86 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3592/86 (4), should be amended accordingly;
Whereas the indicative ceilings for imports into Spain of breadmaking common wheat must increase progressively; whereas that effect may be attained by fixing the indicative ceiling for 1990 at the level of the guide quantity applicable for 1989, plus 15 %;

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 43(a) and (d), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) World market prices for dairy products have collapsed notably due to an increased world supply and a drop in demand in connection with the financial and economic crisis. Community market prices for dairy products have fallen significantly. As a result of a combination of market measures taken since the beginning of this year Community prices have stabilised around support price levels. It is essential that such market support measures, as private storage, continue to apply as long as necessary for avoiding further deterioration of prices and disturbance of the Community market.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 826/2008 (2) lays down common rules for the granting of private storage aid for certain agricultural products.
(3) Article 4(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1182/2008 of 28 November 2008 fixing for 2009 the amount of aid in advance for private storage of butter (3) provides that the period for entry into contractual storage of butter is until 15 August 2009.
(4) In view of the current and foreseeable market situation it is necessary to continue to grant private storage aid for butter entered into contractual storage from 15 August 2009 until 28 February 2010.
(5) In order to avoid oversupply on the market, the removal from storage should take place, for the products entered after 15 August 2009, only as from 16 August 2010 and the contractual storage period should be of maximum 365 days.
(6) For reason of administrative efficiency and simplification, taking into account the particular situation for butter storage, checks provided for in Article 36(6) of Regulation (EC) No 826/2008 should be carried out in respect of at least one half of the contracts. Consequently, derogation from that Article should be introduced.
(7) Taking into account the length of the storage period under the extended measure, the advance payment, provided in Article 31(1) of Regulation (EC) No 826/2008 should be adapted for products stored after 15 August 2009.
(8) Regulation (EC) No 1182/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(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,
Regulation (EC) No 1182/2008 is amended as follows:
1. Article 1 is replaced by the following:
2. in Article 4, paragraphs 2 and 3 are replaced by the following:
(a) between 1 January and 15 August 2009; or
(b) between 16 August 2009 and 28 February 2010.
(a) from 16 August 2009 for the products entered into contractual storage in the period referred in paragraph 2(a);
(b) from 16 August 2010 for the products entered into contractual storage in the period referred in paragraph 2(b).
(a) on the day preceding that of the removal from storage or at the latest the last day of February following the year of entry into storage for the products entered into contractual storage in the period referred in paragraph 2(a);
(b) on the day preceding that of the removal from storage for the products entered into contractual storage in the period referred in paragraph 2(b).
(a) between 90 and 227 days for the products stored in the period referred in paragraph 2(a);
(b) maximum 365 days for the products stored in the period referred in paragraph 2(b).’;
3. in Article 6, the following paragraphs are added:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 september 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 as regards the arrangements for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice (2) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the amount of such refunds.
(3) That calculation must also take account of the cereal products content. In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of ‘cereal products’, namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for ‘other cereals’, these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.
(4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.
(5) The current situation on the cereals market and, in particular, the supply prospects mean that the export refunds should be abolished.
(6) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 30 June 2006.

Whereas Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86 lays down the conditions under which quantitative limits may be established; whereas imports into the Community of certain textile products (category 22) specified in the Annex hereto and originating in Indonesia have exceeded the level referred to in Article 11 (2);
Whereas, in accordance with Article 11 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86, on 25 September 1992, Brazil was notified of a request for consultations; whereas, pending a mutually satisfactory solution, the Commission has requested Brazil for a provisional period of three months to limit its exports to the Community of products falling within category 22 to the provisional quantitative limits set out in the Annex with effect from the date of the request for consultations; whereas pending the outcome of the requested consultations quantitative limits identical to those requested of the supplier country should be applied provisionally to imports of the category of products in question;
Whereas Article 11 (13) ensures that the quantitative limits are observed by means of a double-checking system in accordance with Annex VI to Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86;
Whereas the products in question exported from Brazil between 25 September 1992 and the date of entry into force of this Regulation must be set off against the quantitative limits which have been introduced;

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1711/86
of 26 May 1986
opening, allocating and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for processing work in respect of certain textile products under Community outward-processing traffic
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, on 1 August 1969, the Community concluded an arrangement with Switzerland on processing traffic in textiles; whereas under that arrangement the Community undertook to open, on 1 September of every year, an annual duty-free Community tariff quota for processed goods of 1 870 000 units of account of added value, apportioned as follows:
(a) 1 650 000 units of account for processing work on woven fabrics falling within Chapters 50 to 57 of the Common Customs Tariff;
(b) 143 000 units of account for the twisting or throwing, cabling and texturizing (whether or not combined with other processing work) of yarns falling within Chapters 50 to 57 of the Common Customs Tariff;
(c) 77 000 units of account for processing work on products falling within heading Nos 58.04, 58.05, 58.07, 58.08, 58.09 and 60.01 of the Common Customs Tariff;
Whereas, in order to facilitate administration of this tariff quota, it was decided no longer to allocate a quota, provisionally, to each of the above three categories of processing; whereas the quota in question should therefore be opened for the period 1 September 1986 to 31 August 1987, according to the procedure provided for under the above arrangement, as amended and in compliance with the provisions of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2779/78 of 23 November 1978 on the procedure for applying the European unit of account (EUA) to legal acts adopted in one customs sphere (1), and in particular Article 2 thereof, and the provisions of Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 3308/80 of 16 December 1980 on the replacement of the European unit of account by the ECU in Community legal instruments (2);
Whereas provision should be made in particular to ensure equal and continuous access for those concerned with this quota and consistent application of the rate of duty, prescribed for the said quota until the quota is exhausted, to all goods re-imported into any of the Member States and which have received one or other of the treatments listed above; whereas, in the light of these principles, arrangements for the utilization of the quota based on an allocation among the Member States would seem to be consistent with the Community character of the said quota; whereas it therefore seems advisable to make the allocation on the basis of the amount of the traffic under the previous bilateral Agreements, but without precluding participation by Member States not previously involved in such traffic;
Whereas, to safeguard the Community character of the quota, provision should be made to meet requirements which may arise in those Member States permitting them to draw adequate amounts from the Community reserve;
Whereas, to take account of possible developments in the traffic in question in the various Member States, the total quota volume of 1 870 000 ECU should be divided into two instalments, the first being allocated among certain Member States and the second held as a reserve to cover the subsequent requirements of Member States when one of their initial shares has been exhausted, and also requirements which may arise in certain Member States in respect of processing work for which no initial share of the quota was allocated; whereas, in order to give the parties concerned in each Member State some degree of certainty, it would seem appropriate to fix the first instalment of the Community quota at a relatively high level, namely 1 640 000 ECU;
Whereas the Member States may exhaust their initial shares at different rates; whereas, to avoid disruption of supplies on this account, it should be provided that any Member State which has almost used up one of its initial shares should draw an additional share from the reserve; whereas, each time its additional share is almost exhausted, a Member State should draw a further share, and so on, as many times as the reserve allows; whereas the initial and additional shares should be valid until the end of the quota period; whereas this form of administration requires close collaboration between the Member States and the Commission, and the Commission must be in a position to keep account of the extent to which the quota has been used up and to inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas, if at a given date during the quota period a considerable quantity of a Member State's initial share remains unused, it is essential, to prevent a part of the Community tariff quota from remaining unused in one Member State while it could be used in others, that such State should return a significant percentage thereof to the corresponding reserve;
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, all transactions concerning the administration of the shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
1. From 1 September 1986 to 31 August 1987, a Community tariff quota of 1 870 000 ECU of value added shall be opened in respect of goods resulting from processing work as provided for in the arrangement with Switzerland on processing traffic in textiles as follows:
(a) processing work on woven fabrics falling within Chapters 50 to 57 of the Common Customs Tariff;
(b) twisting or throwing, cabling and texturizing (whether or not combined with other processing work) of yarns falling within Chapters 50 to 57 of the Common Customs Tariff;
(c) processing work on products falling within the following headings of the Common Customs Tariff:
58.04 Woven pile fabrics and chenille fabrics (other than terry towelling or similar terry fabrics of cotton falling within heading No 55.08 and fabrics falling within heading No 58.05),
58.05 Narrow woven fabrics, and narrow fabrics (bolduc) consisting of warp without weft assembled by means of an adhesive, other than goods falling within heading No 58.06,
58.07 Chenille yarn (including flock chenille yarn), gimped yarn (other then metallized yarn of heading No 52.01 and gimped horsehair yarn); braids and ornamental trimmings in the piece; tassels, pompons and the like,
58.08 Tulle and other net fabrics (but not including woven, knitted or crocheted fabrics), plain,
58.09 Tulle and other net fabrics (but not including woven, knitted or crocheted fabrics), figured; hand or mechanically made lace, in the piece, in strips or in motifs,
60.01 Knitted or crocheted fabric, not elastic or rubberized.
2. For the purposes of this Regulation:
(a) 'processing work' means:
- for the purposes of paragraph 1 (a) and (c): bleaching, dyeing, printing, flocking, impregnating, dressing and other work which changes the appearance or quality of the goods, without however changing their nature,
- for the purposes of paragraph 1 (b): twisting or throwing, cabling and texturizing, whether or not combined with reeling, dyeing or other work which changes the appearance, quality or finish of the goods, without however changing their nature;
(b) 'value added' means the difference between the value for customs purposes as defined in Community Regulations on this subject at the time of re-importation and the value for customs purposes as it would be if the products were re-imported in the state in which they were exported.
3. Within this tariff quota, the Common Customs Tariff duties shall be totally suspended.
Within the same limits, Spain and Portugal shall apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the provisions of the Act of Accession and of the Protocols concluded by reason of that accession.
4. Re-imports of products, resulting from this processing work may not be charged to the tariff quota if they are already free of customs duties under other preferential tariff arrangements.
1. The tariff quota referred to in Article 1 (1) shall be divided into two instalments.
The first instalment, 1 640 000 ECU, shall be allocated as set out below among the Member States listed in the above arrangement; the shares, subject to Article 6, shall be valid from 1 September 1986 to 31 August 1987:
(ECU)
Benelux 20 000
Germany 1 080 000
France 520 000
Italy 20 000
2. The second instalment, which amounts to 230 000 ECU, shall constitute a Community reserve.
If an importer notifies an imminent re-importation of the products in question into another Member State and requests the benefit of the quota, the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission and draw an amount corresponding to its requirements to the extent that the available balance of the reserve permits this. Article 4
1. If a Member State has used 90 % or more of its initial share as fixed in Article 2 (1), or that share minus any portion returned to the reserve pursuant to Article 6, it shall forthwith, by notifying the Commission, draw a second share, to the extent that the relevant reserve so permits, equal to 10 % of its initial share, rounded up as necessary to the next whole number.
2. If a Member State, after exhausting its initial share, has used 90 % or more of the second share drawn by it, that Member State shall, in accordance with the conditions laid down in paragraph 1, draw a third share equal to 5 % of its initial share.
3. If a Member State, after exhausting its second share, has used 90 % or more of the third share drawn by it, that Member State shall, in accordance with the same conditions laid down in paragraph 1, draw a fourth share equal to the third.
This process shall continue to apply until the reserve is exhausted.
4. By way of derogation from paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, a Member State may draw shares lower than those specified in those paragraphs if there are grounds for believing that those specified may not be used in full. Any Member State applying this paragraph shall inform the Commission of its grounds for so doing.
Additional shares drawn pursuant to Article 4 shall be valid until 31 August 1987.
The Member States referred to in Article 2 (1) shall, not later than 1 July 1987, return to the reserve the unused portion of their initial share which, on 15 June 1987, is in excess of 20 % of the initial amount. They may return a greater portion if there are grounds for believing that it may not be used in full.
Member States shall, not later than 1 July 1987, notify the Commission of the total quantities of the product in question re-imported up to and including 15 June 1987 and charged against the Community quota and of any portion of their initial quota returned to the reserve.
The Commission shall keep an account of the shares opened by the Member States pursuant to Articles 2, 3 and 4 and shall, as soon as the information reaches it, inform each Member State of the extent to which the reserve has been used up.
It shall, not later than 5 July 1987, inform the Member States of the amounts still in reserve following any return of shares pursuant to Article 6.
It shall ensure that when an amount exhausting this reserve is drawn the amount so drawn does not exceed the balance available, and to this end shall notify the amount of that balance to the Member State making the last drawing.
1. Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that additional shares drawn pursuant to Article 4 are opened in such a way that re-importation may be charged without interruption against their accumulated shares of the Community tariff quota.
2. Every Member State shall ensure that all persons involved in the processing traffic have free access to the shares allocated to it.
3. The extent to which a Member State has used up its shares shall be determined on the basis of the value added, as established when upon re-importation the products concerned are entered with the customs authorities for free circulation.
At the request of the Commission, the Member States shall inform it of any re-importations of the products in question actually charged against their share.

Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.

Having regard to Common Position 2003/666/CFSP of 22 September 2003 amending Common Position 2001/357/CFSP concerning restrictive measures against Liberia(1),
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) United Nations Security Council Resolution 1497 (2003) of 1 August 2003 (hereinafter referred to as UNSCR 1497 (2003)) authorised Member States of the United Nations to establish a multinational force in Liberia to support the implementation of the 17 June 2003 ceasefire agreement, and to exempt the supply of arms and related material, as well as the provision of technical training or assistance, to the multinational force from the arms embargo imposed by United Nations Security Council Resolution 1343 (2001) of 7 March 2001.
(2) Common Position 2001/357/CFSP(2) and Regulation (EC) No 1030/2003(3) imposed restrictive measures against Liberia. Common Position 2003/666/CFSP makes provision for an amendment of the current regime in order to align it with UNSCR 1497 (2003).
(3) Regulation (EC) No 1030/2003 which, inter alia, prohibits providing Liberia with technical training or assistance related to arms and related materiel of all types, should therefore be amended accordingly,
Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1030/2003 shall be replaced by the following:
"2. The prohibition referred to in paragraph 1 shall not apply:

| COMMISSION DECISION of 7 June 1978 authorizing Ruhrkohle Handel GmbH, Düsseldorf, to acquire a 12 75 % interest in Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel GmbH & Co. KG, coal wholesalers of Munich (Only the German text is authentic) (78/570/ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular Articles 66 and 80 thereof,
Having regard to Decision No 24-54 of 6 May 1954 laying down in implementation of Article 66 (1) of the Treaty a regulation on what constitutes control of an undertaking (1),
Having regard to the application made by Ruhrkohle Handel GmbH, Düsseldorf on 26 October 1976 and 15 April 1977 for authorization to acquire a 12 75 % interest in Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel GmbH & Co. KG, Munich,
Having obtained the views of the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany,
Whereas:
Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel GmbH & Co. KG (hereinafter referred to as "Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel") is a joint venture in which the coal wholesale enterprises:
Klöckner & Co., Duisburg,
Harpen-Gruppe, Essen,
Rheinstahl Handel und Verkehr GmbH, Duisburg,
VEBA, Düsseldorf,
have shareholdings of between 20 and 35 % each.
In 1972 these wholesalers transferred to Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel part of their solid fuels business in Bavaria and now carry on this business jointly. Bayerische Brennstoffhandel is accordingly an undertaking covered by Article 80 and is jointly controlled by the founder companies, which thus act as a group in the pursuit of their common business interests. The merger between the founder companies and Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel was authorized by Commission Decision of 17 May 1972. In 1975 Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel sold 325 000 tonnes of Community coal and 110 000 tonnes of imported coal.
Ruhrkohle Handel GmbH is proposing to merge with Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel a solid fuels business carried on in the Munich area, with 1975 sales of 12 000 tonnes.
The proposed entry of Ruhrkohle Handel GmbH will change the constitution of the controlling group and thence the distribution of voting rights within the group. It will involve a concentration within the meaning of Article 66 (1) of Ruhrkohle Handel GmbH with Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel. The effects of control by Ruhrkohle Handel GmbH of Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel on competition in the wholesale business must therefore be examined.
The Federal German Government, consulted under the fourth subparagraph of Article 66 (2), recommends that the entry of Ruhrkohle Handel into Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel should be authorized only on condition that VEBA divests itself of its holding in Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel. The reasons given are that competition would be affected at the solid fuels distributive level and that the market share of Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel would be expanded at the expense of independent local dealers, while at the same time an interlocking relationship would be created between VEBA and Ruhrkohle, both of whom are solid fuel dealers, which would tend to lessen competition between them generally. (1)OJ ECSC No 9, 11.5.1954, p. 345.
Ruhrkohle Handel GmbH is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ruhrkohle AG. Like the other subsidiaries of Ruhrkohle AG, with which it is linked through the parent company, it does business in solid fuels and is therefore an undertaking covered by Article 80 of the Treaty. The share of the German solid fuels wholesale market accounted for by Ruhrkohle AG and its subsidiaries can be estimated at approximately 52 %. But this figure alone is not sufficiently indicative of Ruhrkohle's market position. The bulk of former users of solid fuels have converted their facilities to fuel oil consumption, or use convertible facilities which enable them to go over to liquid fuels if they so wish. Sales of solid fuels for domestic consumption and other industries have fallen by 70 % since 1962. Tonne for tonne, then, less than 30 % of the sales of coal wholesale merchants are now of solid fuels, for they are doing far more business in fuel oil. Ruhrkohle's share of this market, where solid and liquid fuels compete with each other, is therefore no more than 20 %. These circumstances should be taken into consideration in the assessment of the state of competition on this market.
Since the prices for solid fuels tend to follow the prices of light and heavy fuel oils, Ruhrkohle is not in a position to determine prices for the purpose of Article 66 (2). Nor can it control distribution, for in the circumstances prevailing on the solid fuels market under the competitive pressure exerted by fuel oil for nearly 20 years now, Ruhrkohle does not have adequate power over the distribution market to determine where sales will go, how much of what product will be sold or how the market will be shared, nor to create artificial shortages of supply.
Nor is there anything to suggest that the planned transaction would give Ruhrkohle AG the power to evade the rules of compeitition instituted under the Treaty. With sales of only 325 000 tonnes of Community coal in 1975, over 60 % being Ruhrkohle AG products already, Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel will not give Ruhrkohle AG any substantial advantage in access to outlets.
Ruhrkohle Handel's proposed participation in Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel is linked to its transfer to the latter of a wholesale business with annual sales of only some 12 000 tonnes.
The market position of Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel in relation to its competitors will thus not be altered to such an extent as to exclude authorization under Article 66 (2). This follows from the fact that the relevant market for the purposes of Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel cannot be regarded as a substantial part of the market in the relevant products, while the planned merger would not give Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel the power to evade the rules of competition instituted under the Treaty. The same conclusion applies to the question of the weakening of independent trade in the relevant area. Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel sells virtually nothing but solid fuels in a regionally confined territory of the common market where substitute competition is particularly keen, and all the customers it supplies have the technical capacity to convert their facilities to other sources of energy. Accordingly it is exposed to competition not only from other companies that deal primarily in fuel oil, but also from the oil companies themselves. Since it was formed in 1972, Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel's solid fuel sales have approximately halved. Its market share in Bavaria following the entry of Ruhrkohle AG's wholesale firm will still amount to less than 27 % and less than 15 % if fuel oil istaken into consideration as a substitute source of energy.
The merger will have no anti-competitive effects on the other solid fuel business done by the firms involved in Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel. The main aim of the operation is to strengthen the position of merchants dealing with solid fuels in a particular geographical area where there is substantial competition from liquid and gas fuels because of distance from the collieries and the resulting high transport costs. The joint sales activity in Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel exercised by the controlling firms therefore extends to no more than a fraction of their aggregate solid fuels sales business. No group effect can therefore be expected to result. Nor is there any reason for expecting effects on compeititon between the firms that control Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel as regards their non-article 80 business in shipping, cooking by-products, petrochemicals and electricity generation.
The objections expressed by the Federal German Government consequently do not provide sufficient grounds on which to base a decision either to withhold approval or to grant approval subject to conditions. The planned operation satisfies the tests for authorization in Article 66 (2) and may be authorized,
Ruhrkohle Handel GmbH, Düsseldorf, is authorized to acquire 12 75 % of the shares in Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel GmbH & Co. KG, coal wholesalers of Munich.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 76/895/EEC of 23 November 1976 relating to the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 86/362/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on cereals (2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/642/EEC of 27 November 1990 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on certain products of plant origin, including fruit and vegetables (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (4), and in particular Article 4(1)(f) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In the case of cereals and products of plant origin including fruit and vegetables, residue levels reflect the use of minimum quantities of pesticides necessary to achieve effective protection of plants, applied in such a manner that the amount of residue is as low as is practicable and toxicologically acceptable, having regard, in particular to the protection of the environment and the estimated dietary intake of consumers. In the case of foodstuffs of animal origin, residue levels reflect the consumption by animals of cereals and products of plant origin treated with pesticides and, where relevant, the direct consequences of the use of veterinary medicines. Community maximum residue levels (MRLs) represent the upper limit of the amount of such residues that might be expected to be found in commodities when good agricultural practices have been respected.
(2) MRLs for pesticides are kept under review and changed to take account of new information and data. MRLs are fixed at the lower limit of analytical determination where authorised uses of plant protection products do not result in detectable levels of pesticide residue in or on the food product, or where there are no authorised uses, or where uses which have been authorised by Member States have not been supported by the necessary data, or where uses in third countries resulting in residues in or on food products which may enter into circulation in the Community market have not been supported by the necessary data.
(3) The Commission was informed that for several pesticides current MRLs may need to be revised in the light of the availability of new information on the toxicology and consumer intake. The Commission has asked the relevant rapporteur Member States to make proposals for the review of Community MRLs. Such proposals were submitted to the Commission.
(4) The lifetime and short-term exposure of consumers to the pesticides referred to in this Directive via food products has been reassessed and evaluated in accordance with Community procedures and practices, taking account of guidelines published by the World Health Organisation (5). On that basis, it is appropriate to fix new MRLs, which will ensure that there is no unacceptable consumer exposure.
(5) Where relevant, the acute exposure of consumers to those pesticides via each of the food products that may contain residues has been assessed and evaluated in accordance with Community procedures and practices, taking account of guidelines published by the World Health Organisation. It is concluded that the presence of pesticide residues at or below the new MRLs will not cause acute toxic effects.
(6) Through the World Trade Organisation, the Community’s trading partners have been consulted about the new MRLs and their comments on these levels have been taken into account.
(7) The Annexes to Directives 76/895/EEC, 86/362/EEC and 90/642/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
In Annex II to Directive 76/895/EEC the entries relating to captan, dichlorvos, ethion, and folpet are deleted.
Directive 86/362/EEC is amended as follows:
(a) in Part A of Annex II, the lines for captan, ethion and folpet as set out in Annex I to this Directive are added;
(b) in Part A of Annex II, the line for dichlorvos is replaced by the text in Annex II to this Directive.
Directive 90/642/EEC is amended as follows:
(a) in Annex II, the lines for captan, and folpet as set out in Annex III to this Directive, are added;
(b) in Annex II, the lines for dichlorvos and ethion, are replaced by the text in Annex IV to this Directive.

They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 2003/299/EC of 14 April 2003 on the conclusion of a Protocol adjusting the trade aspects of the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Slovak Republic, of the other part, to take account of the outcome of negotiations between the parties on new mutual agricultural concessions(1), and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with the Decision 2003/299/EC, which is applicable from 1 May 2003, the Community has undertaken to establish for each marketing year import tariff quotas at a reduced or zero rate of duty for 16875 tonnes of wheat and meslin flour (order number 09.4618) and 18125 tonnes of malt, not roasted, other than of wheat (order number 09.4619) originating in the Slovak Republic.
(2) These import quotas should be managed according to the provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 788/2003 of 8 May 2003 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Decision 2003/299/EC as regards the concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas on certain cereal products originating in the Slovak Republic and amending Regulation (EC) No 2809/2000(2) until 30 June 2003.
(3) In the interest of simplification the provisions 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(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 444/2002(4), should be applied to those quotas as from 1 July 2003, which is the starting date of the new marketing year.
(4) The reference to CN code for maize referred to in Article 1, Annex I and Annex II of Regulation (EC) No 788/2003 does not correspond to the reference mentioned in Decision 2003/299/EC. This error should therefore be corrected.
(5) The periods of application of the quotas mentioned in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 788/2003 are not in conformity with the periods provided for in Decision 2003/299/EC. That Annex should therefore be replaced.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 788/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
Regulation (EC) No 788/2003 is amended as follows:

"2a. Imports of wheat and meslin flour falling within CN code 1101 00 as referred to in Annex I originating in the Slovak Republic and benefiting from a reduction to 20 % of the most favoured nations rate of import duty, under the tariff quota bearing the order number 09.4618, in accordance with Decision 2003/299/EC, shall be subject to an import licence issued in accordance with this Regulation.
2b. Imports of malt, not roasted, other than of wheat falling within CN code 1107 10 99 as referred to in Annex I originating in the Slovak Republic and benefiting from a zero rate of import duty, under the tariff quota bearing the order number 09.4619, in accordance with Decision 2003/299/EC, shall be subject to an import licence issued in accordance with this Regulation."
(c) in paragraph 3, the introductory phrase is replaced by the following:
"The products referred to in paragraphs 1 to 2b shall be released into free circulation upon presentation of one of the following documents:"
2. The following Article 1a is inserted:
"Article 1a
From 1 July 2003, imports of wheat and meslin flour and malt, not roasted, other than of wheat originating in the Slovak Republic referred to in Annex I shall be administered by the Commission in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93(5). From that date, the order numbers of these import quotas shall be, respectively, 09.5833 and 09.5834."
3. In the second subparagraph of Article 3, the following sentence is added:"However, import licences issued in June 2003 for products imported under the quotas referred to in Article 1(2a) and (2b) shall only be valid until 30 June 2003."

Whereas Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 states that the quantity of cereals on which the refund shall be granted shall be that placed under control, weighted by a coefficient fixed annually for each Member State concerned, expressing the ratio between the total quantity exported and the total quantity marketed of the spirituous beverage in question; whereas, the relevant information having been received from the United Kingdom for the period 1 January to 31 December 1988, the coefficients for the period 1 July 1989 to 30 June 1990 should now be fixed;
Whereas the second indent of Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 provides for adjustment of the coefficient where foreseeable export trends in one of the Member States concerned show a tendency to change significantly; whereas this assessment may be made by taking account of a sufficiently long reference period to eliminate short, insignificant fluctuations; whereas a period of six years prior to the year in question complies with this criterion; whereas, moreover, an annual difference of less than 1 % between the respective trends in exports and total quantities sold cannot show a tendency towards significant change;

Whereas:
(1) Article 14(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2362/98 of 28 October 1998 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 regarding imports of bananas into the Community(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 756/1999(4), provides that, for each of the first three quarters of the year, an indicative quantity expressed as the same percentage of available quantities from each of the origins listed in Annex I thereto may be fixed for the purposes of issuing import licences.
(2) The quantities available for import for the fourth quarter of 2000 from the countries or groups of countries listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2362/98 should be determined, having regard, on the one hand, to the import licences issued for the first three quarters and, on the other, to the volume of tariff quotas and the quantity of traditional ACP bananas provided for in Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93.

(a) submitted by a traditional operator may not relate to a quantiy exceeding the difference between the quantity allocated to the operator under Article 6(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2362/98 for 1999, pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 250/2000, and the sum of the quantities covered by import licences issued for the first three quarters of 2000;
(b) submitted by a newcomer operator may not relate to a quantity exceeding the difference between the quantity allocated to the operator pursuant to Article 2(7) of Regulation (EC) No 250/2000 and the sum of the quantities covered by import licences issued for the first three quarters of 2000.
Import licence applications shall be accompanied by a copy of the import licence(s) issued to the operator for the preceding quarters of 2000.

(3) The structural change has lead to a decrease in the number of the smallest holdings and in their contribution to the total output of agriculture, thereby making their use unnecessary in order for the field of survey to cover the most relevant part of the agricultural activity (at least 90 % of total standard gross margin).

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 192(2), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 792/2009 (2) establishes common rules for notifying information and documents by Member States to the Commission. Those rules cover in particular the obligation for the Member States to use the information systems made available by the Commission and the validation of the access rights of the authorities or individuals authorised to send notifications. Regulation (EC) No 792/2009 also sets common principles applying to the information systems so that they guarantee the authenticity, integrity and legibility over time of the documents and provides for personal data protection. The obligation to use those information systems has to be provided for in each Regulation establishing a specific notification obligation.
(2) The Commission has developed an information system that allows managing documents and procedures electronically in its own internal working procedures and in its relations with the authorities involved in the common agricultural policy.
(3) Several communication and notification obligations can be fulfilled via that system, in particular those provided for in Commission Regulations (EC) No 1709/2003 (3), (EC) No 1345/2005 (4), (EC) No 972/2006 (5), (EC) No 341/2007 (6), (EC) No 1454/2007 (7), (EC) No 826/2008 (8), (EC) No 1296/2008 (9), (EC) No 1130/2009 (10), (EU) No 1272/2009 (11) and (EU) No 479/2010 (12).
(4) In the interest of efficient administration and taking into account the experience acquired, some communications and notifications should be simplified or specified.
(5) In order to enhance the monitoring of the market situation in the olive oil sector and considering the experience gained in the field, it is necessary to clarify some notification obligations of the Member States listed in Part A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 826/2008. For this purpose, the frequency of the provision of an estimate of the production and consumption of olive oil as well as ending stocks shall be increased but the obligation to notify shall be limited to Member States producing olive oil. The amendment should be applicable from 1 January 2014 since that is the expected date of application of the new common organisation of the markets.
(6) Regulations (EC) No 1709/2003, (EC) No 1345/2005, (EC) No 972/2006, (EC) No 341/2007, (EC) No 1454/2007, (EC) No 826/2008, (EC) No 1296/2008, (EC) No 1130/2009, (EU) No 1272/2009 and (EU) No 479/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/65/EEC of 13 July 1992 laying down animal health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of animals, semen, ova and embryos not subject to animal health requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A(1) to Directive 90/425/EEC(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council(2), and in particular Article 22, first paragraph, thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The trade and importation of bees in the Community is governed by Directive 92/65/EEC. Directive 92/65/EEC lays down certain rules concerning animals and species susceptible to the notifiable diseases listed in Annex A to that Directive.
(2) The small hive beetle (Aethina tumida) is an exotic pest affecting honey bees and bumble bees that has spread from Africa to a number of other third countries, creating serious problems to the apiculture industry.
(3) The small hive beetle is not listed by the Office Internationale des Epizooties (OIE) and information about the extent of its infestation in third countries is not available.
(4) No cases have been reported in the Community however the small hive beetle is not a notifiable disease within the European Community under Directive 92/65/EEC.
(5) If introduced into the Community, the small hive beetle could have devastating consequences on the health status of honey bees, on the apiculture industry and on the production of honey.
(6) Tropilaelaps (Tropilaelaps spp.) is an exotic parasitic mite affecting honey bees that is mainly found in south-east Asia but which if imported into the Community could have devastating consequences on the health status of honey bees, on the apiculture industry and on the production of honey.
(7) Tropilaelaps is an OIE notifiable disease. However it is not a notifiable disease within the European Community under Directive 92/65/EEC.
(8) Ebola virus and monkey pox virus are recorded from time to time in certain third countries and Community measures restricting imports have been taken against Ebola and monkey pox as these zoonotic diseases can affect or be carried by certain animals; it is therefore opportune for transparency and clarity to include these diseases as notifiable under Directive 92/65/EEC.
(9) Therefore it is necessary to add the small hive beetle, Tropilaelaps spp., Ebola virus, and monkey pox virus to the list of notifiable diseases in Annex A to Directive 92/65/EEC.
(10) Directive 92/65/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex A to Directive 92/65/EEC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Whereas:
(1) in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90, maximum residue limits must be established progressively for all pharmacologically active substances which are used within the Community in veterinary medicinal products intended for administration to food-producing animals;
(2) maximum residue limits should be established only after the examination within the Committee for Veterinary Medicinal Products of all the relevant information concerning the safety of residues fo the substance concerned for the consumer of foodstuffs of animal origin and the impact of residues on the industrial processing of foodstuffs;
(3) in establishing maximum residue limits for residues of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin, it is necessary to specify the animal species in which residues may be present, the levels which may be present in each of the relevant meat tissues obtained from the treated animal (target tissue) and the nature of the residue which is relevant for the monitoring of residues (marker residue);
(4) for the control of residues, as provided for in appropriate Community legislation, maximum residue limits should usually be established for the target tissues of liver or kidney. However, the liver and kidney are frequently removed from carcasses moving in international trade, and maximum residue limits should therefore also always be established for muscle or fat tissues;

Whereas thermonuclear fusion is a potential new source of energy using fuel which is virtually inexhaustible and universally accessible; whereas nuclear fusion is potentially a safe and environmentally benign energy source in a number of respects; whereas one of the principal objectives of the framework programme is to achieve controlled thermonuclear fusion and realize this potential in the process;
Whereas, in its Decision 85/201/Euratom(5), the Council adopted a research and training programme in the field of controlled thermonuclear fusion (1985 to 1989); whereas Article 3 of that Decision provides that the Commission will, based on a review to be carried out during the second year of that programme, submit to the Council in 1987 a proposal for revision aimed at replacing the 1985 to 1989 programme with a new programme; whereas Decision 85/201/Euratom should therefore be replaced;
Whereas, as a result of Decision 85/201/Euratom being replaced, approximately 30 million ECU of the sum estimated necessary for the preceding programme, exclusive of the JET (Joint European Torus) project set up under Decision 78/471/Euratom(6) as last amended by Decision 88/447/Euratom(7) and approximately 154 million ECU of the sum estimated necessary for the preceding programme for the JET project will not have been used; whereas these amounts can be assigned to the new programme; whereas such assignment, together with the fact that the programme embraces all work carried out in the Member States in this field, must be taken into account in determining the amounts estimated necessary for the execution of the new programme;
Whereas, in view of the extent of the effort needed to reach the stage of application of controlled thermonuclear fusion, which could be of benefit to the Community, the work hitherto undertaken in this field must continue on a joint basis at its various stages of development;
Whereas the research proposed by the Commission constitutes an adequate means of pursuing such actions and it is, consequently, in the common interest to adopt a multiannual programme in the field of controlled thermonuclear fusion, the existence of which is, moreover, necessary to enable the Community to participate in international cooperation in this field and in particular in the quadripartite International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) conceptual design activities;
Whereas the strategy on which the continuation of the programme is based should remain largely unchanged, namely:
-pursuit of a substantial programme oriented towards a demonstration reactor and based at present on the Tokamak concept, completion of the first stage of the programme formed by the JET propject with its extensions and by the full exploitation of the devices existing or under construction in the associations,
-continuation of the predesign of the second step of the Tokamak programme, the Next European Torus (NET) and pursuit of the technological developments necessary to its design and construction and of those needed in the longer term for the fusion reactor,
-investigation, depending on the resources available, of alternative confinement systems, concentrating on reversed field pinches and stellarators, and maintaining a keep-in-touch activity in the fields of laser fusion and muon-catalysed fusion subject to a periodic reassessment of their reactor potential compared with that of the Tokamak;
Whereas this strategy should take into account the potential environmental and safety-related advantages of fusion;
Whereas this strategy should be reviewed at the next programme revision aimed at replacing the present programme by a new multiannual programme on 1 January 1991; at the time of this revision, it would be appropriate to decide when to proceed to D-T operation on JET and when to start the detailed design of NET, taking into account the preliminary results of the ITER conceptual design activities;
Whereas the next review of the programme must be preceded by an independent evaluation of those components of the programme already being implemented and in appraisal of the environmental, safety-related and economic potential of fusion;
Whereas any future research programme at the Joint Research Centre (JRC) in the field of NET and fusion technology is not financially covered by this programme decision;
Whereas Sweden and Switzerland are associated with Community activities in the field of controlled thermonuclear fusion;
Whereas the Community should continue to encourage the construction of certain equipment related to projects having priority status, the support for JET and NET by the associations and certain developments in the field of fusion technology, by granting a preferential rate of participation in the expenditure of such projects;
Whereas the direct involvement of industry in the implementation of the programme, in particular with regard to NET and fusion technology, must be strengthened;
Whereas it is important to encourage those Member States without a fusion association to participate more actively in the fusion programme;
Whereas, furthermore, the mobility of staff between organisations cooperating in the execution of the programme should be promoted,
A European Atomic Energy Community programme of research and training in the field of controlled thermonuclear fusion, as defined in the Annex, is hereby adopted for the period from 1 January 1988 to 31 March 1992.
The funds estimated as being necessary for the Community contribution to the research and training programme in the field of controlled thermonuclear fusion for the period referred to in Article 1 amount to 735 million ECU.
The funds estimated as being necessary for the execution of the programme, exclusive of JET amount to 406 million ECU, including expenditure on a work force of 105 staff. The funds estimated as being necessary for JET during the duration of the programme amount to 329 million ECU including expenditure on a work force of 191 temporary employees within the meaning of Article 2 (a) of the conditions of employment of other servants of the European Communities.
During the course of its third year, the Commission shall arrange for an independent evaluation of the programme, having regard to its objectives set out in the Annex and in conformity with Article 2 (2) of Decision 87/ 516/Euratom, EEC, and for an appraisal to be conducted of the environmental, safety-related and economic potential of fusion. On the basis of this evaluation and appraisal, the Commission shall submit to the Council in 1990 a proposal for revision designed to replace the present programme with a new multiannual programme with effect from 1 January 1991.
For the implementation of the programme, the Commission shall be assisted by the consultative committee for the fusion programme set up by Council Decision of 16 December 1980, in its advisory capacity.
Decision 85/201/Euratom is hereby repealed with effect from 1 January 1988.
However, amounts which are authorized under the relevant headings of the 1985, 1986 and 1987 budgets pursuant to Decision 85/201/Euratom and which on 1 January 1988 have not yet been committed or have been committed but not yet paid, will be used for the execution of the present programme.
This Decision shall enter into force on 1 January 1988.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, in Regulation (EEC) No 1391/87, the Council decided, for certain agricultural products originating in the Canary Islands, upon a progressive reduction of the customs duties applicable in the limits of reference quantities with the possibility for the Community to replace in future the facilities by a system of tariff quotas if it should appear that under the preferential system imported quantities exceed, during the course of a determined year, the reference quantities laid down, and if simultaneously these imports cause damage on the Community market;
Whereas, in order to enable the competent authorities within the Commission to establish an annual trade balance sheet for each of the products and, if necessary, to put into application the arrangements provided for in Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1391/87, the products are subject to statistical surveillance;
Whereas imports of the products in question are charged against the reference quantities at Community level within pre-established timetables, as and when the are re entered with the customs authorities for free circulation; whereas, therefore, it is appropriate to establish, reference quantities for those products listed in the Annex;
1. Imports into the Community of certain goods originating in the Canary Islands shall be subject to statistical supervision and to annual reference quantities.
The description of the goods referred to in the preceding subparagraph, their order numbers, their CN codes and the levels and periods of application of the reference quantities are indicated in the annexed table.
2. Quantities shall be charged against the reference quantities as and when products are entered with customs authorities for free circulation and accompanied by a movement certificate. If the movement certificate is submitted a posteriori, the goods shall be charged against the corresponding reference quantity at the moment when the goods are entered for free circulation.
The extent to which the reference quantities are used up shall be determined at Community level on the basis of the imports charged against them in the manner defined in the first subparagraph, as communicated to the Statistical Office of the European Communities.
Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 of 19 January 2009 establishing common rules for direct support schemes for farmers under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers, amending Regulations (EC) No 1290/2005, (EC) No 247/2006, (EC) No 378/2007 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 51(2), the first subparagraph of Article 69(3) and Article 142(c) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 914/2013 (2) established the budgetary ceilings for 2013 which apply to certain direct support schemes provided for in Regulation (EC) No 73/2009.
(2) Greece has made use of the option provided for in Article 69(1) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 during the years 2010, 2011 and 2012. A budgetary ceiling for the specific support referred to in Chapter 5 of Title III of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 has been established for each of those years accordingly.
(3) In July 2012, Greece has decided to also make use of the option provided for in Article 69(1) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 for the year 2013. However, due to a misunderstanding concerning the notification of such decision, the amounts to be fixed for the purpose of the budgetary ceiling for 2013 have not been included in Implementing Regulation (EU) No 914/2013.
(4) Given that Greece decided to continue implementing the specific support in calendar year 2013 without any change in the amounts notified by Greece for financing the support measures concerned as they were implemented in the year 2012, the budgetary ceiling should be fixed for that year.
(5) For the sake of clarity, the ceiling resulting from the amounts allocated by Greece for the measures concerned in 2013 should be published.
(6) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 929/2013 (3) amended the national ceilings for 2013 determined in Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 as regards Luxembourg and Malta. Annex V to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 914/2013 should be amended accordingly.
(7) In accordance with the sixth subparagraph of Article 51(1) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, Croatia notified the Commission of its decision to use a certain percentage of the ceilings fixed in Articles 104(4) and 112(5) of that Regulation for the sheep and goats payments and the beef and veal payments respectively. Therefore, the relevant budgetary ceilings for the sheep and goat premium, the sheep and goat supplementary premium and the suckler cow premium should be established.
(8) In accordance with Article 69(1) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, Croatia decided before the date of its accession to use the specific support provided for in Article 68(1)(a)(ii) of that Regulation in the dairy sector and communicated its decision to the Commission. The decision is in compliance with the limit set in Article 69(4) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009. The relevant ceiling should be established by the Commission.
(9) Croatia applies the single payment scheme provided for under Title III of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009. For the sake of clarity, the budgetary ceiling for the single payment scheme for Croatia, resulting from the deduction of the ceilings established for the payments referred to in Articles 52, 53 and 68 of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 from the ceilings set in Annex VIII to that Regulation, should be published for 2013.
(10) Annexes I to V to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 914/2013 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,
Annexes I to V to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 914/2013 are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

31972L0211 | Council Directive 72/211/EEC of 30 May 1972 concerning coordinated statistics on the business cycle in industry and small craft industries
| COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 30 May 1972 concerning coordinated statistics on the business cycle in industry and small craft industries (72/211/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 213 thereof;
Having regard to the draft submitted by the Commission;
Whereas the Commission, in order to carry out the tasks entrusted to it under the Treaty, must have at its disposal coherent statistics, comparable as between States, on the economic situation of industry and small craft industries in Member States;
Whereas, as regards statistics for the study of business-cycle and economic developments, the Council, in its Recommendation of 28 July 1966 to the Member States on certain provisions to be adopted for improving business-cycle statistics, pointed out that there were significant gaps in those statistics and stressed the need for improvement ; whereas the Conjunctural Policy Committee, in its Opinion of 22 July 1969 on the implementation of that Recommendation, noted that some of the suggestions made in the Recommendation had indeed been put into effect, but that - particularly as regards industry - certain data essential to analysis and to the formulation of conjunctural policy were still not available in most Member States ; whereas the Committee therefore pointed to certain statistical data on industry referred to in the Council Recommendation which should first be obtained so as to provide a basis for monthly business-cycle statistics, and thus, at least partially, fill the existing gaps;
Whereas valid comparisons cannot be drawn from statistics unless these are based on coordinated definitions and methods;
Whereas the increasing international interpenetration and interdependence not only of industrial and small craft undertakings and of competing markets but also of business conditions and economic policies now require that statistics on industry and small craft industries be compiled for the purpose of examining business-cycle and economic developments in the Communities ; whereas these statistics also provide invaluable information for coordinating short-term economic policy with medium-term economic objectives;
Whereas it is hoped that short-term statistics on industry and small craft industries will provide extensive information for the overall study of general economic trends and relations and also reveal the business-cycle trends in the various branches of industry ; whereas they ought, therefore, to help in making possible the analysis of disturbances and discrepancies in certain markets of the Communities ; and of their rate of growth or regression, and this requires a breakdown of statistics by branch of industry;
The Member States shall, in technical cooperation with the Commission, take all necessary steps for collecting on the basis of coordinated definitions and methods the quantitative statistical data required for the study of the business-cycle and economic trends in industry and small craft industries. Preparatory work must be completed by the end of 1972 at the latest, so that the first results may be communicated to the Commission.
The statistics shall cover the industrial activities listed in Divisions 1 to 4 of the Nomenclature of Economic Activities in the European Communities (NACE, 1970 edition). They must at least cover undertakings employing 20 or more persons. In order that results may be promptly available, individual basic data may be collected on a representative basis.
The statistical unit shall be the economic activity unit. For the purposes of the Communities, presentation of these statistics shall be based on NACE.
These statistics, broken down by branch of industry and grouped under the main sectors of production of significance for cyclical and economic analysis, for example: - industries producing capital goods;
- industries producing consumer goods;
- industries producing intermediate and semi-finished products;
shall relate to the following variables: - monthly: 1. index numbers of industrial production;
2. turnover;
3. orders received, broken down into domestic and export orders;
- initially at least quarterly: 4. gross wages and salaries;
5. number of employees, specifying the number of manual workers;
6. volume of work done.
Statistics on orders, referred to under item 3, shall relate only to those branches of industry for which an observation of orders provides significant information for the study of markets and production trends.
These branches, which must be uniformly covered by all Member States, are the branches of the following industries : the metal-working industry (NACE 31 to 37), the textile industry (NACE 43), the man-made fibres industry (NACE 26), the footwear and clothing industries (NACE 45), the wood and wooden furniture industries (NACE 46), the paper and paper products industries (NACE 471 and 472).
A subsequent Council Directive shall, on the basis of coordinated definitions and methods, law down the measures required for the drawing up of statistics necessary for the study of economic and business-cycle trends in the construction industry-making use, if necessary, of variables other than those referred to in Article 3 ; the Directive shall also specify the frequency with which these statistics must be produced.
The Member States shall all appropriate steps to reduce to a minimum the time needed for carrying out surveys and for processing and calculating data, in order that the results of the statistics may be available to the Commission as soon as possible.
The cost of compiling these statistics in the Member States shall be borne by the national budgets.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

authorising the placing on the market of lycopene oleoresin from tomatoes as novel food ingredient under Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council
(notified under document number C(2009) 3036)
(Only the English text is authentic)
(2009/355/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 1997 concerning novel foods and novel food ingredients (1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 7 September 2004 the company Ottaway & Associates Ltd. on behalf of the company LycoRed made a request to the competent authorities of the United Kingdom to place lycopene oleoresin from tomatoes on the market as a novel food ingredient; on 30 June 2005 the competent food assessment body of the United Kingdom issued its initial assessment report, in which it came to the conclusion that lycopene oleoresin from tomatoes is acceptable to be used in the proposed range of foodstuffs.
(2) The Commission forwarded the initial assessment report to all Member States on 9 August 2005.
(3) Within the 60-day period laid down in Article 6(4) of Regulation (EC) No 258/97 reasoned objections to the marketing of the product were raised in accordance with that provision; therefore the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) was consulted on 13 September 2006 and issued its opinion on 24 April 2008.
(4) In that opinion, EFSA came to the conclusion that lycopene may be safely used as a food ingredient for the proposed use; however, EFSA concluded that the consumption of lycopene by the average user will stay below the Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI), but that some users of lycopene may exceed the ADI.
(5) Meanwhile, following other requests for other uses of lycopene as novel food ingredient, EFSA came to the same conclusion; therefore, it appears appropriate to establish a list of foods acceptable for the addition of lycopene.
(6) Therefore, it appears appropriate to collect intake data for a number of years following the authorisation in order to review this authorisation in the light of any further information on the safety of lycopene and its consumption. Particular attention should be given to the collection of data regarding the levels of lycopene in breakfast cereals. However, this requirement under the present Decision, applies to the use of lycopene as a novel food ingredient and not to the use of lycopene as a food colour, that falls within the scope of Council Directive 89/107/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of laws of the Member States concerning food additives authorised for use in foodstuffs intended for human consumption (2).
(7) On the basis of the scientific assessment, it is established that lycopene oleoresin from tomatoes complies with the criteria laid down in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 258/97.
(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,
Lycopene oleoresin from tomatoes, hereinafter called the product, as specified in Annex I, may be placed on the market in the Community as a novel food ingredient to be used in the foods listed in Annex II.
The designation of the novel food ingredient authorised by this Decision on the labelling of the foodstuff containing it shall be ‘lycopene oleoresin from tomatoes’.
The company LycoRed shall establish a monitoring programme accompanying the marketing of the product. This programme shall encompass information about use levels of lycopene in foods as specified in Annex III.
The data collected shall be made available to the Commission and Member States in accordance with the periodicity established in Annex III.
In the light of new information and a report of EFSA, at the latest in the year 2014 the use of lycopene oleoresin from tomatoes as an ingredient to foods shall be reviewed.
This Decision is addressed to LycoRed Ltd, Hebron Rd, Industrial Zone, Beer Sheva 84102, Israel. | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100a thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
In cooperation with the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas measures for the progressive establishment of the internal market should be adopted over a period expiring on 31 December 1992; whereas the internal market comprises an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital is ensured;
Whereas the Council resolution of 25 January 1988 (4) invites the Commission to pursue without delay the development of specific measures for a Community action programme to combat environmental pollution by cadmium; whereas human health also has to be protected and an overall strategy that in particular restricts the use of cadmium and stimulates research into substitutes should therefore be implemented;
Whereas advances are being made in knowledge and techniques regarding substitutes; whereas it would therefore be advisable systematically to reassess the situation in the light of the results of the scientific and technical studies provided for in the said resolution;
Whereas polyvinyl chloride (PVC) may not be coloured using cadmium-based pigments; whereas, for certain particular applications, the use of a cadmium-based stabilizer is still necessary in the current state of technology;
Whereas restrictions already adopted by certain Member States on the use and marketing of the abovementioned substances or preparations containing them have a direct effect on the establishment and functioning of the internal market; whereas it is therefore necessary to approximate the laws of the Member States in this field and to amend Annex I to Directive 76/769/EEC (5), as last amended by Directive 89/678/EEC (6), accordingly,
Annex I to Directive 76/769/EEC is hereby amended as set out in the Annex hereto. However, the new provisions shall not apply to products containing cadmium which are already covered by other Community legislation.
Owing to the development of knowledge and techniques in respect of substitutes less dangerous than cadmium and its compounds, the Commission shall, in consultation with the Member States, reassess the situation for the first time within three years of the date referred to in Article 3 (1) and subsequently at regular intervals in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 2a of Directive 76/769/EEC.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive no later than 31 December 1992. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
2. When Member States adopt the measures referred to in paragraph 1, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of making such a reference shall be laid down by the Member States.

fixing the export refunds on cereal-based compound feedingstuffs
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the arrangements for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice(3) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the amount of such refunds.
(3) That calculation must also take account of the cereal products content. In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of "cereal products", namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for "other cereals", these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.
(4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.
(5) The current situation on the cereals market and, in particular, the supply prospects mean that the export refunds should be abolished.
(6) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
In accordance with the Annex to this Regulation, the export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 shall not be fixed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 August 2003.

Whereas Article 37 of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 lays down that, during the marketing years 1995/96 to 2000/01 and in order to ensure adequate supplies to Community refineries, a special reduced duty is to be levied on imports of raw cane sugar originating in States with which the Community has concluded supply arrangements on preferential terms; whereas at present such agreements have been concluded by Council Decision 95/284/EC (3) only with the ACP States party to Protocol 8 on ACP sugar annexed to the Fourth ACP-EEC LomĂŠ Convention, and with the Republic of India;
Whereas the quantities of special preferential sugar to be imported are calculated in accordance with the said Article 37 of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 on the basis of a Community forecast supply balance; whereas the balance indicates the need to import raw sugar and to open at this stage for the 1996/97 marketing year a tariff quota at the special reduced rate of duty as provided for in the abovementioned agreements so that the Community refineries' supply need can be met for part of the year; whereas the production forecasts for raw cane sugar are now available for the 1996/97 marketing year; whereas a tariff quota should be opened at this stage for part of the marketing year; whereas, because of the presumed maximum refining needs fixed by Member State and the shortfall resulting from the forecast supply balance, provision should be made to authorize imports for each refining Member State, for the period from 1 July 1996 to 28 February 1997;
Whereas the above agreements lay down that the refiners in question must pay a minimum purchase price equal to the guaranteed price for raw sugar, minus the adjustment aid fixed for the marketing year in question; whereas this minimum price must accordingly be fixed by taking account of the factors applying in the 1996/97 marketing year;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The following tariff quotas are hereby opened for the period 1 July 1996 to 28 February 1997 under Decision 95/284/EC in respect of imports of raw cane sugar for refining:
(a) 212 100 tonnes expressed as white sugar originating in the ACP States covered by that Decision; and
(b) 10 000 tonnes expressed as white sugar originating in the Republic of India.
1. A special reduced duty of ECU 5,87 per 100 kg of standard quality raw sugar shall apply to imports of the quantities referred to in Article 1.
2. Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1916/95 (4) notwithstanding, the minimum purchase price to be paid by the Community refiners shall be fixed for the period referred to in Article 1 at ECU 50,14 per 100 kg of standard quality raw sugar.
The following Member States are hereby authorized to import under the quotas referred to in Article 1 and on the terms laid down in Article 2 (1) the following shortfall expressed as white sugar:

(2) The prospect of such a price reduction may lead operators to place quantities of cereals including some of their working stock in intervention at the end of the 1999/2000 marketing year to avoid devaluation of their stock.
(3) The risk that intervention stocks may be used unlawfully and subsequently replaced by cereals from the new harvest cannot be ruled out in this context.
(4) To avoid any risk of fraudulent use of intervention stocks, on top of the inspections provided for in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2148/96 of 8 November 1996 laying down rules for evaluating and monitoring public intervention stocks of agricultural products(3), amended by Regulation (EC) No 808/1999(4), provision should be made for a specific inspection of intervention stocks to confirm the physical reality of such stocks during the critical period.

1. Without prejudice to the inspections provided for in Regulation (EC) No 2148/96, intervention agencies shall draw up, between 15 May and 15 June 2000 and 2001 in Spain, Greece, Italy and Portugal, and between 15 June and 15 July 2000 and 2001 in the other Member States, a detailed list verifying the quantities of cereals in approved stores in accordance with the physical inspection procedure laid down in point III(A)(2) of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 2148/96.
2. The inspection, carried out without prior notification, must cover at least 50 % of stores chosen at random on the basis of a high risk of use in breach of the rules. A volume assessment must be carried out only where discrepancies are found.
