of 20 February 2008
amending Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 on the establishment of a common classification of territorial units for statistics (NUTS) by reason of the accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the European Union
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 285(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
After consulting the Committee of the Regions,
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) constitutes the legal framework for regional classification for the purpose of enabling the collection, compilation and dissemination of harmonised regional statistics in the Community.
(2) All Member States' statistics transmitted to the Commission broken down by territorial units should use the NUTS classification, where applicable.
(3) It is necessary to adapt the Annexes to Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 to take into account the accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the European Union.
(4) Since the objective of this Regulation, namely the creation of common statistical standards that permit the production of harmonised data, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve that objective.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Annex I shall be amended in accordance with the text shown in Annex I to this Regulation;
2. Annex II shall be amended in accordance with the text shown in Annex II to this Regulation;
3. Annex III shall be amended in accordance with the text shown in Annex III to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Whereas, Council Regulation (EEC) N° 3103/76 of 16 December 1976 on aid for durum wheat (2) as last amended by Regulation (EEC) N° 1455/82 (3), established regions producing durum wheat in which aid for such wheat is granted;

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) On 28 July 2003, the United Nations Security Council decided in its Resolution 1493 (2003), hereinafter referred to as UNSCR 1493 (2003), to impose an embargo on the supply of arms and related material as well as the provision of assistance, advice or training related to military activities to all armed groups and militias operating in the territory of North and South Kivu and of Ituri, and to groups not party to the Global and All-inclusive Agreement, in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
(2) Council Common Position 2002/829/CFSP of 21 October 2002 on the supply of certain equipment into the Democratic Republic of Congo (2) imposes an embargo on the supply or sale of arms and related material to that country.

(4) That measure falls under the scope of the Treaty and, therefore, notably with a view to avoiding distortion of competition, Community legislation is necessary to implement that decision of the Security Council as far as the territory of the Community is concerned. For the purpose of this Regulation, the territory of the Community is deemed to encompass the territories of the Member States to which the Treaty is applicable, under the conditions laid down in that Treaty.
(5) The Commission and the Member States should inform each other of the measures taken under this Regulation and of other relevant information at their disposal in connection with this Regulation, and cooperate with the Secretary-General of the United Nations, in particular by supplying him with information.
(6) Violations of the provisions of this Regulation should be subject to sanctions, and Member States should impose appropriate sanctions to that end. It is, moreover, desirable for those sanctions to be imposed on the date of entry into force of this Regulation,
1. Without prejudice to the powers of the Member States in the exercise of their public authority, it shall be prohibited
(a) to provide financing and financial assistance, including in particular grants, loans and export credit insurance, for any sale, supply, transfer or export of arms and related material of all types, including weapons and ammunition, military vehicles and equipment, paramilitary equipment and spare parts of the aforementioned, directly or indirectly, to any person, entity or body in the Democratic Republic of Congo;

Article 1 shall not apply to the provision of financing and financial assistance for the sale, supply, transfer or export of military equipment, and the provision of technical advice, assistance or training related to military activities, to the United Nations Organisation Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the integrated Congolese national army and police forces, if an authorisation for such activities has been granted by the competent authority, as listed in the Annex, of the Member State, where the service provider is established.
Article 1 shall not apply to the provision of financing and financial assistance for the sale, supply, transfer or export of non-lethal military equipment intended solely for humanitarian or protective use and the provision of technical advice, assistance or training related to such non-lethal equipment, provided:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The additive robenidine hydrochloride 66 g/kg (Cycostat 66G), hereinafter referred to as Cycostat 66G, linked to the holder of authorisation, Alpharma (Belgium) BVBA, belonging to the group of coccidiostats and other medicinal substances, was authorised under certain conditions in accordance with Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2). Commission Regulation (EC) No 1800/2004 (3) authorised that additive for 10 years for use for chickens for fattening, turkeys and rabbits for fattening. That additive was notified as an existing product in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. Since all the information required under that provision was submitted, that additive was entered into the Community Register of Feed Additives.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the possibility of modifying the authorisation of an additive further to a request from the holder of the authorisation and an opinion of the European Food Safety Authority. Alpharma (Belgium) BVBA, holder of the authorisation of Cycostat 66G, has submitted an application with which it requests changing the conditions of the authorisation as regards chickens for fattening and turkeys by modifying the trade name from Cycostat 66G to Robenz 66G, leaving the trade name Cycostat 66G unchanged with respect to rabbits for fattening.
(3) The proposed change of the terms of the authorisation is purely administrative in nature and does not entail a fresh assessment of the additives concerned. The European Food Safety Authority was informed of the application.
(4) To allow the applicant to exploit its marketing rights under the new trade name of ‘Robenz 66G’, it is necessary to change the terms of the authorisation as regards chickens for fattening and turkeys.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 1800/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) It is appropriate to provide for a transitional period during which existing stocks may be used up.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1800/2004 is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation.
Existing stocks which are in conformity with the provisions applicable before the entry into force of this Regulation may continue to be placed on the market and used until 30 June 2010.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the possibility of changing the terms of authorisation of an additive further to an application from the holder of the authorisation.
(2) The use of the additive diclazuril 0,5 g/100 g (Clinacox 0,5 % Premix), diclazuril 0,2 g/100 g (Clinacox 0,2 % Premix), belonging to the group of ‘Coccidiostats and other medicinal substances’ was authorised for 10 years for chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2430/1999 (2). The authorisation was linked to the person responsible for putting the additive into circulation.
(3) The use of the additive diclazuril 0,5 g/100 g (Clinacox 0,5 % Premix), diclazuril 0,2 g/100 g (Clinacox 0,2 % Premix) belonging to the group of ‘Coccidiostats and other medicinal substances’ was authorised for 10 years for turkeys for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 418/2001 (3). The authorisation was linked to the person responsible for putting the additive into circulation.
(4) The use of the additive diclazuril 0,5 g/100 g (Clinacox 0,5 % Premix), diclazuril 0,2 g/100 g (Clinacox 0,2 % Premix) belonging to the group of ‘Coccidiostats and other medicinal substances’ was authorised for 10 years for chickens reared for laying by Commission Regulation (EC) No 162/2003 (4). The authorisation was linked to the person responsible for putting the additive into circulation.
(5) The holder of the authorisations, Janssen Animal Health BVBA, has submitted an application under Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 proposing to change the name of the person responsible for putting into circulation the additives referred to in recitals 2 to 4 of this Regulation. With the application they have submitted data showing that the marketing rights for those additives have been transferred to Janssen Pharmaceutica NV, its Belgian parent company, with effect from 2 July 2007.
(6) Assigning the authorisation of an additive linked to a person responsible for putting it into circulation to another person is based on a purely administrative procedure and did not entail a fresh assessment of the additives. The European Food Safety Authority was informed of the application.
(7) To allow Janssen Pharmaceutica NV to exploit its ownership rights from 2 July 2007 on, it is necessary to change the name of the person responsible for putting the additives into circulation, with effect from 2 July 2007. Therefore, it is necessary for this Regulation to apply retroactively.
(8) Regulations (EC) No 2430/1999, (EC) No 418/2001 and (EC) No 162/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9) It is appropriate to provide for a transitional period during which existing stocks may be used up.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
1. In Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2430/1999, in column 2 of the entry for E 771, the words ‘Janssen Animal Health BVBA’ are replaced by the words ‘Janssen Pharmaceutica NV’.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1599/96 (2), and in particular the second and third indents of Article 28 (8) thereof,
Whereas Article 28 (3) and (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that the losses resulting from the obligation to export surpluses of Community sugar are to be covered by production levies on the production of A and B sugar, of A and B isoglucose and of inulin syrup A and B within certain limits;
Whereas Article 28 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that, where the receipts expected from the basic production levy and the B levy, which must not exceed 2 % and 30 % respectively of the intervention price for white sugar for that marketing year, may well fail to cover the foreseeable total loss for the current marketing year, the maximum percentage of the B levy is to be adjusted to the extent necessary to cover the said total loss but without exceeding 37,5 %;
Whereas the foreseeable receipts, prior to adjustment, of the levies to be collected in respect of the 1996/97 marketing year are below the equivalent of the average loss multiplied by the exportable surplus; whereas accordingly, in the light of the data at present available, the maximum amount of the B levy for 1996/97 should be raised to 37,5 % of the intervention price for the white sugar concerned;
Whereas the second subparagraph of Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that, subject to Article 28 of that Regulation, the minimum price for B beet is 68 % of the basic price for beet; whereas Article 28 (5) of the said Regulation provides that the revised maximum percentage for the B levy should be fixed for the current marketing year before 15 September of that marketing year, together with the corresponding adjustment of the minimum price for B beet set for the 1996/97 marketing year by way of Council Regulation (EC) No 1580/96 (3);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
1. For the 1996/97 marketing year the maximum amount referred to in the first indent of Article 28 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 shall be increased to 37,5 % of the intervention price for white sugar for that marketing year.
2. For the 1996/97 marketing year, the minimum price for B beet referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 shall be 60,5 % of the basic price for beet for that marketing year.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 300/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 2008 on common rules in the field of civil aviation security and repealing Regulation (EC) No 2320/2002 (1) and in particular Article 4 and the Annex.
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 300/2008, the Commission is required to adopt general measures designed to amend non-essential elements of the common basic standards laid down in the Annex to that Regulation by supplementing them.
(2) Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 300/2008 further provides that the Commission must adopt detailed measures for implementing the common basic standards on civil aviation security laid down in the Annex to that Regulation, as supplemented by the general measures adopted by the Commission on the basis of Article 4(2).
(3) In particular, Commission Regulation (EC) No 272/2009 (2) supplementing the common basic standards on civil aviation security provides for general measures in respect of methods of screening allowed for passengers as laid down in Part A of its Annex.
(4) Security scanners are an effective method for passenger screening and should be authorised for use at EU airports by adding them to the list of allowed methods of screening.
(5) The Commission has requested its Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks (SCENIHR) to assess the possible effects of security scanners which use ionising radiation to human health. Without prejudice to Council Directive 96/29/Euratom of 13 May 1996 laying down basic safety standards for the protection of the health of workers and the general public against the dangers arising from ionizing radiation (3) and of Directive 2006/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2006 on the harmonisation of the laws of Member States relating to electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits (4), at this stage, to safeguard citizens’ health and safety, only security scanners which do not use ionising radiation are added to the list of allowed methods for passenger screening for aviation security purposes.
(6) The use of security scanners should be subject to specific implementing rules allowing the use of this method of screening, individually or in combination, as a primary or secondary means and under defined conditions set to ensure the protection of fundamental rights. These shall be adopted separately pursuant to Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 300/2008.
(7) By laying down specific operational conditions on the use of security scanners and by providing passengers with the possibility to undergo alternative screening methods, this Regulation, together with the specific implementing rules adopted pursuant to Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 300/2008, respects fundamental rights and observes the principles recognised in particular by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, including respect for human dignity and for private and family life, the right to the protection of personal data, the rights of the child, the right to freedom of religion and the prohibition of discrimination. This Regulation must be applied according to these rights and principles.
(8) The Commission will work closely with the industry and Member States in order to make sure that as soon as possible only security scanners based on automated threat detection are deployed at EU airports, so that it is no longer necessary for any human reviewer to analyse images.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Civil Aviation Security,
The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 272/2009 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Commission Decision No 3632/93/ECSC of 28 December 1993 establishing Community rules for State aid to the coal industry(1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas:
I
(1) By letters of 24 November and 14 December 2000, the United Kingdom notified to the Commission, in accordance with Article 9(1) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, financial aid which it proposed to grant the coal industry for the year 2000, and more precisely for the period from 17 April 2000 to 31 December 2000. Following a request from the Commission of 15 January 2001, the United Kingdom notified additional information on 16 January 2001.
(2) In the light of the information submitted by the United Kingdom, the financial measure it envisages is aid amounting to GBP 59,078 million to cover operating losses for the period from 17 April 2000 to 31 December 2000 at six production units.
(3) That financial measure is covered by Article 1 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, and the Commission must therefore take a decision on it pursuant to Article 9(4) of that Decision. The Commission's approval is subject to the general objectives and criteria laid down in Article 2 and the specific criteria set out in Article 3 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC and must be compatible with the proper functioning of the common market. In addition, in its assessment the Commission must check, in accordance with Article 9(6) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, whether the measures are in conformity with the restructuring plan of the the United Kingdom coal industry which was approved by Commission Decision C(2000)3709 final of 15 November 2000, approving the modernisation, rationalisation and restructuring plan for the United Kingdom coal industry, covering the period from 17 April 2000 to 23 July 2002 (hereinafter referred to as "the restructuring plan")(2).
II
(4) The sum of GBP 59,078 million which the United Kingdom is proposing to grant to the coal industry in accordance with Article 3 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC is intended to cover the difference between the production cost and the selling price of coal freely agreed between the contracting parties in the light of the prevailing conditions on the world market for coal of similar quality from non-member countries.
(5) The proposed aid is intended for the following units:
- GBP 13,560 million for the Maltby production unit of RJB Mining Plc,
- GBP 3,207 million for the Rossington production unit of RJB Mining Plc,
- GBP 14,722 million for the Harworth production unit of RJB Mining Plc,
- GBP 23,187 million for the Selby production unit of RJB Mining Plc,
- GBP 3,932 million for the Hatfield production unit of Hatfield Coal Company Ltd,
- GBP 0,470 million for the Blenkinsopp production unit of Blenkinsopp Collieries Ltd.
(6) The proposed aid is intended to allow those production units to improve their economic viability by reducing their production costs. In accordance with the restructuring plan adopted by the United Kingdom, the effort made towards reducing production costs should be evaluated over a reference period of three consecutive years. This method should ensure that the development of production costs is not evaluated by reference to a period of activity that is not representative of the operating conditions of the production units concerned. In order to prevent any discrimination among coal producers, the units must fix the reference period themselves, between 1 January 1994 and 31 December 2000.
(7) According to the restructuring plan, the production units have prospects for improving their economic viability if it can be considered that their production costs will not exceed a threshold of GBP 1,15/GJ(3) in 2002. This cost level should enable the companies concerned to continue operating without the need for any financial support beyond 2002.
(8) It appears from the data communicated by the United Kingdom authorities that the development of production costs between the reference period determined in accordance with recital 6 and the year 2002 is as follows, at constant 1999 prices: Maltby [...](4); Rossington [...]; Harworth [...]; Selby [...]; Hatfield [...]; Blenkinsopp [...].
(9) Moreover, the production costs, at constant 1999 prices, should in 2002 be at a level equal to or below the threshold of GBP 1,15 per GJ referred to in recital 7. Only the production costs at [...] unit will be slightly above this threshold, with GBP 1,16 per GJ in 2002. However, the [...] unit will reach the cost level of GBP 1,15 per GJ from 2003.
(10) Moreover, according to estimates made for the period up to 2004, the production units should continue to improve their economic viability through new reductions in production costs. In this regard, the Commission notes that the costs of several production units should by 2004 reach a level very close to [...] per GJ.
(11) At the request of the United Kingdom authorities, a technical report was drawn up by an independent expert to assess whether the modernisation, rationalisation and restructuring measures envisaged for the various production units would enable them to improve their economic viability and, specifically, to achieve the objectives set out in recital 7. In drawing up this report, the expert took into account the geological and technical conditions in which the units operate and the quality of the coal which they produce. The report concluded that the various measures envisaged are consistent and realistic with a view to achieving the estimated production costs worked out for each of the production units referred to in recital 5.
(12) For these reasons, the United Kingdom considers that the modernisation, rationalisation and restructuring measures of the various production units will lead to an improvement of their economic viability. The units should be able to reach the threshold of GBP 1,15 per GJ production cost, enabling them to continue their activities beyond 2002 without any further public subsidy.
III
(13) In accordance with Article 3(2) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, the aid which the United Kingdom proposes to grant is intended to improve the economic viability of the production units concerned by reducing their production costs.
(14) The Commission considers the reductions in production costs as indicated in recital 8 to be significant. In order to assess the extent of these reductions, the Commission has taken account of the difference between average production cost calculated for the reference period (see recital 6) and the target cost for 2002, determined at GBP 1,15 per GJ. While the reduction in costs calculated for [...] is below the average of the other production units, the absolute cost level of [...] in 1998 was only slightly higher (less than [...] per tce) than the selling price of coal extracted in this unit.
(15) The sums of aid should help to improve the viability of the production units to enable them to continue their activities beyond 2002 without further public subsidy. In accordance with the restructuring plan approved by the Commission in its Decision C(2000) 3709 final, the production costs of the [...] units should in 2002 not exceed the threshold of GBP 1,15 per GJ referred to in recital 7. The extent to which this threshold is exceeded by the [...] unit, whose production costs in 2000 are GPB 1,16 per GJ, is negligible and cannot have any real effects in terms of competitveness. In fact, the production cost will be reduced to GBP 1,15 per GJ from 2003.
(16) In accordance with Article 3(1)(i) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, the aid per tonne as notified does not exceed, for each production unit, the difference between production costs and foreseeable revenues, as calculated on the basis of the financial information for the period covered by the aid, that is from 17 April 2000 to 31 December 2000.
(17) The modernisation, rationalisation and restructuring measures implemented by each production unit, and in particular the temporary nature of the financial support necessary to achieve these measures, will allow the aid to be degressive, in accordance with Article 2(1)(i) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC.
(18) The Commission notes that for each production unit an auditor has stated that the financial data notified by the United Kingdom accurately depict the company's accounts. The auditor also stated that the forecasts had been drawn up using the accounting standards that were in use before the period covered by the aid.
(19) In the light of the foregoing and on the basis of the information provided by the United Kingdom, the aid proposed for the period from 17 April 2000 to 31 December 2000 for the production units referred to in recital 5 is compatible with Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, and in particular with Articles 2 and 3 of that Decision.
IV
(20) The United Kingdom must ensure that the proposed aid does not cause any distortion of competition and does not discriminate between coal producers, purchasers or consumers in the Community.
(21) In accordance with Article 3(1)(iii) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC and with the relevant provisions of Commission Decision C(2000) 3709 final, the United Kingdom is required to take all the necessary measures to ensure that the amount of the aid granted to each production unit will not cause delivered prices for Community coal to be lower than those for coal of a similar quality from non-member countries.
(22) Moreover, in accordance with Article 2(2) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, the aid must be entered in the United Kingdom's national, regional or local public budgets and must comply with strictly equivalent mechanisms.
(23) In accordance with Article 3(1)(ii) and Article 9(2) and (3) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, the Commission is to check that the aid authorised is used only for the purposes stipulated in Article 3 of that Decision. At the latest by 30 September 2001, the United Kingdom must notify the amounts of aid actually paid during the year 2000 and declare any corrections made to the amounts originally notified. Any information required to ascertain that the criteria laid down in Article 3 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC have been complied with must be provided along with this annual breakdown.
(24) The United Kingdom should justify any deviations from the restructuring plan and from the economic and financial forecasts notified to the Commission on 24 November and 14 December 2000. In particular, should it turn out that the conditions laid down in Article 3(2) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC cannot be satisfied, the United Kingdom is responsible for proposing the requisite corrective measures to the Commission.
(25) The restructuring plan provides that the total amount of aid that could be granted by the United Kingdom to the coal industry in the period from 17 April 2000 to 23 July 2002 may not exceed GBP 110 million. By its Decision C(2000)4056 final of 13 December 2000(5), the Commission has already authorised the grant of aid to the Longannet production unit amounting to GBP 17,462 million, covering the period from 17 April 2000 to 31 December 2000. The Commission notes that the aid authorised by Decision C(2000)4056 final, aggregated with that covered by the present Decision, does not exceed the maximum sum of GBP 110 million laid down in the restructuring plan,
The United Kingdom is authorised, subject to Article 3 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, to grant operating aid amounting to GBP 59,078 million for the Maltby, Rossington, Harworth, Selby, Hatfield and Blenkinsopp production units for the period from 17 April 2000 to 31 December 2000.
The United Kingdom shall ensure that the authorised aid is used only for the purposes declared and that any expenditure relating to any of the items covered by this Decision that is cancelled, overestimated or misused, is reimbursed.
By 30 September 2001 at the latest, the United Kingdom shall communicate to the Commission, in addition to the information referred to in Article 9 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, the amounts of aid actually paid during the 2000 financial year.
This Decision is addressed to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (1), and in particular Article 164(2), final subparagraph, and Article 170 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 162(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Part XV of Annex I to that Regulation and prices for those products on the Community market may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Given the present situation on the market in beef and veal, export refunds should therefore be set in accordance with the rules and criteria provided for in Articles 162 to 164 and 167 to 170 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
(3) Article 164(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the refund may vary according to destination, especially where the world market situation, the specific requirements of certain markets, or obligations resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty make this necessary.
(4) Refunds should be granted only on products that are allowed to move freely in the Community and that bear the health mark as provided for in Article 5(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (2). Those products must also satisfy the requirements laid down in Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (3) and Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption (4).

(93/159/EEC)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 77/93/EEC of 21 December 1976 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), as last amended by Directive 92/103/EEC (2), and in particular Article 14 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the request made by Germany and the United Kingdom,
Whereas under the provisions of Directive 77/93/EEC, potato tubers for human consumption originating in South Africa may in principle not be introduced into the Community because of the risk of introducing exotic potato diseases unknown in the Community;
Whereas information supplied by South Africa and collected in that country during a mission carried out in 1991 has shown that there is a good reason to believe that, in South Africa, potatoes can be grown under adequate health conditions and that, at present, there are no sources for the introduction of exotic potato diseases; whereas South Africa has moreover implemented adequate health and quality standards in the potato production;
Whereas it can therefore be established, on the basis of the information available at present, that there is no risk of harmful organisms spreading, provided that certain special technical conditions are complied with; whereas the Commission will ensure that the South African authorities make available all technical information which is necessary to monitor the functioning of the protective measures required under these technical conditions; whereas the potatoes are introduced at a time when they cannot influence the health status of potato products in the Community;
Whereas the requesting Member States should therefore be authorized to provide for derogations in respect of potatoes for human consumption originating in South Africa, under the aforementioned special technical conditions, for the forthcoming potato season; whereas this system will be reconsidered, on the basis of an assessment of the technical information to be provided by the South African authorities and of the results of monitoring to be carried out on potatoes introduced into the Community pursuant to this Decision;
Whereas the provisions laid down in the annexes to Directive 77/93/EEC have been subjected to a review taking into account a pest risk assessment to adapt the relevant provisions to the Single Market concept;
Whereas the pest risk assessment has been the basis for an amendment and revision of the relevant provisions of the said Directive;
Whereas, however, according to the provisions of Council Directive 91/683/EEC (3) Member States shall bring into force the laws, reglations or administrative provisions necessary to comply with Directive 91/683/EEC six months after the revision of Annex I to V to Directive 77/93/EEC;
Whereas it appears that the revision has been delayed;
Whereas the authorization is applicable without prejudice to the abolition of the intra-Community border controls from 1 January 1993;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
1. Germany and the United Kingdom are hereby authorized to provide, under the conditions laid down in paragraph 2, for exceptions from Article 4 (1) of Directive 77/93/EEC, with regard to the prohibitions referred to in Part (9a) of Annex III thereto for potatoes for human consumption originating in South Africa, with a view to marketing them in their respective territories or between them.
2. The following specific conditions shall be satisfied:
(a) the potatoes shall be potatoes for human consumption;
(b) they shall have been grown from seed potatoes certified in the South African seed potato certification scheme or from seed potatoes certified in one of the Member States;
(c) they shall have been grown in defined areas where Pseudomonas solanacearum (Smith) Smith has not been detected;
(d) regular planned monitoring of imports into South Africa and of seed potatoes and ware potatoes marketed within South Africa is continued by means of examination and testing of represenative samples by scientifically recognized methods for Clavibacter michiganensis (Smith) Davis et al. ssp. sepedonicus (Spieckermann et Kotthoff) Davis et al., Pseudomonas solanacearum (Smith) Smith and potato spindle tuber viroid;
(e) they shall have been handled by machinery which is reserved for them or which has been disinfected in an appropriate manner after each use for other purposes;
(f) they shall be packed either in new bags or in containers which have been disinfected in an appropriate manner; and an official label shall be applied to each bag or container, bearing the information specified in Annex I;
(g) prior to export the potatoes shall have been cleaned free from soil, leaves and other plant debris;
(h) on arrival, at least two samples of 200 tubers shall be drawn by the importing Member State from each consignment of 50 tonnes or part thereof, of imported potatoes for appropriate testing for the presence of harmful organisms, in the official laboratory of the importing Member State. The harmful organisms concerned and the details of testing shall be determined in agreement with the Commission and with the plant protection organizations of the Member States.
1. The authorization granted in Article 1 shall apply in the period between 15 January and 30 April 1993.
2. The authorization shall be revoked if it is established that the conditions laid down in Article 1 (2) have been insufficient to prevent the introduction of harmful organisms or have not been complied with.
The Member States concerned shall provide the Commission and the other Member States with information on the amounts imported pursuant to this Decision and with a technical report of any official examinations carried out pursuant to Article 1 (2) (h); copies of each phytosanitary certificate shall be transmitted to the Commission.

Whereas:
(1) Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1878/2001 of 26 September 2001 laying down transitional measures in connection with the compensation system for storage costs for sugar(4), lays down that Article 8 of Council Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 of 13 September 1999 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(5), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1527/2000(6), will continue to apply to sugars carried forward from the 2000/01 marketing year to the 2001/02 marketing year.
(2) Article 1(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1713/93 provides that the amount of the reimbursement of storage costs referred to in Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 is to be converted into national currency using a specific agricultural conversion rate equal to the average, calculated pro rata temporis, of the agricultural conversion rates applicable during the month of storage. That specific rate must be fixed each month for the previous month. However, in the case of the reimbursable amounts applying from 1 January 1999, as a result of the introduction of the agrimonetary arrangements for the euro from that date, the fixing of the conversion rate should be limited to the specific exchange rates prevailing between the euro and the national currencies of the Member States that have not adopted the single currency.
(3) Application of these provisions will lead to the fixing, for September 2001, of the specific exchange rate for the amount of the reimbursement of storage costs in the various national currencies as indicated in the Annex to this Regulation,
The specific exchange rate to be used for converting the amount of the reimbursement of the storage costs referred to in Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 into national currency for September 2001 shall be as indicated in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 3 October 2001.

| COMMISSION DECISION of 29 March 1994 ruling on additional aid by Germany to the coal industry for 1993 (Only the German text is authentic) (Text with EEA relevance) (94/332/ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community,
Having regard to Commission Decision No 2064/86/ECSC of 30 June 1986 establishing Community rules for State aid to the coal industry (1),
Whereas:
I In a letter dated 15 February 1994, Germany informed the Commission, pursuant to Article 9 (3) of Decision No 2064/86/ECSC, of an additional financial measure which it intends to apply retroactively for 1993 in order to support the coal industry, concerning deliveries of coal and coke to the Community's steel industry.
On 23 December 1992 the Commission adopted Decision 93/151/ECSC (2) on financial aid by Germany to the coal industry in 1993.
As mentioned in that Decision, Germany intended to grant in 1993, pursuant to Decision No 2064/86/ECSC, a total of DM 2 948 million under the system of aid to deliveries of coking coal, coke and coal for use in blast furnaces in the Community's steel industry.
In Decision 93/151/ECSC, the Commission noted that the amount of aid under the system was linked to the avaibility of funds; accordingly, Germany is required to give notification of any changes which it intends to make to the amount authorized by the Commission for 1993.
In a letter dated 15 February 1994, Germany informed the Commission that the amount of aid for the supply of coal and coke to the Community's steel industry was insufficient. The increase necessary for 1993 over the amount authorized by the Commission is DM 300 206 000, which brings the total aid for the supply of coal and coke in 1993 to DM 3 248 206 000.
The reason for the increase in aid is that the gap between the world market price for coking coal and German production costs has proved wider than originally foreseen, on account of the drop in prices on the world market and the development of the US dollar-German mark exchange rate.
The figure of DM 3 248 206 000 for this aid is compatible with Article 4 of Decision No 2064/86/ECSC, since it serves to bridge the gap observed in 1993 between the world market price and the production costs for a volume of 18,35 million tonnes, in accordance with the conditions set out in Article 12 of that Decision.
The contribution of the measure envisaged to the restructuring and rationalization of the coal industry and to solving social and regional problems in spacing out the closure of loss-making installations satisfies the criteria and objectives of Article 2 of the Decision.
Moreover, the aid is compatible with the provisions of Articles 4 and 12 of the Decision inasmuch as it does not lead to prices lower than those which would be charged for coal from non-member countries and for coke manufactured from coking coal imported from non-member countries.
Consequently, the aid referred to in this Decision is compatible with the proper functioning of the common market.
II The Commission will have to ensure, pursuant to Article 11 (2) of Decision No 2064/86/ECSC, that the direct aid authorized for current production is intended solely for the purposes set out in Articles 3 to 6 of that Decision. To this end will have to be informed of the amounts of payments and how they are allocated,
Germany is hereby permitted to grant, for 1993, additional aid amounting to DM 300 206 000 for the supply of coking coal, coke and coal for injection into blast furnaces in the Community's steel industry, which brings the total aid for this purpose in 1993 to DM 3 248 206 000.
Germany shall notify the Commission by 30 June 1994 of the amount of aid actually paid in respect of 1993.
This Decision is addressed to the Federal Republic of Germany. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 1 October 1981 the Italian Republic has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'Spex - Double Monochromator', to be used for emission spectrometry experiments on molecular crystals together with excitation by means of a dye laser, should be considered to be a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met, on 22 March 1982, within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a spectrometer;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the resolution power and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, however, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of scientific value equivalent to the said apparatus, capable of being used for the same purposes, are currently being manufactured in the Community; whereas this applies, in particular, to the apparatus 'Ramanor HG 2S', manufactured by Jobin Yvon, 16-18, rue du Canal, F-91163 Longjumeau,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/106/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction products (1), and in particular Article 13(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regarding the two procedures for attesting the conformity of a product under Article 13(3) of Directive 89/106/EEC, the Commission is required to select the least onerous possible procedure consistent with safety. This means that it is necessary to decide whether, for a given product or family of products, the existence of a factory production control system under the responsibility of the manufacturer is a necessary and sufficient condition for an attestation of conformity, or whether, for reasons related to compliance with the criteria mentioned in Article 13(4) of Directive 89/106/EEC, the intervention of an approved certification body is required.
(2) Article 13(4) of Directive 89/106/EEC requires that the procedure thus determined must be indicated in the mandates and in the technical specifications. It is therefore desirable to define the concept of products or family of products as used in the mandates and in the technical specifications.
(3) The two procedures provided for in Article 13(3) of Directive 89/106/EEC are described in detail in Annex III to that Directive. It is necessary therefore to specify clearly the methods by which the two procedures shall be implemented, by reference to Annex III, for each product or family of products, since Annex III gives preference to certain systems.
(4) The procedure referred to in Article 13(3)(a) of Directive 89/106/EEC corresponds to the systems set out in the first possibility, without continuous surveillance, and the second and third possibilities of point (ii) of Section 2 of Annex III to Directive 89/106/EEC. The procedure referred to in Article 13(3)(b) corresponds to the systems set out in point (i) of Section 2 of Annex III, and in the first possibility, with continuous surveillance, of point (ii) of Section 2 of Annex III.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Construction,
The products set out in Annex I shall have their conformity attested by a procedure whereby, in addition to a factory production control system operated by the manufacturer, an approved certification body is involved in assessment and surveillance of the production control or of the product itself.
The procedure for attesting conformity as set out in Annex II shall be indicated in the mandates for Guidelines for European technical approvals.

Whereas the abovementioned provisions are consistent with the aims and requirements of Directive 72/159/EEC;

Having regard to the provisions laying down for 1983 the fixing of the comparable earned income, the existing provisions concerning the implementation in Italy of Directive 72/159/EEC continue to satisfy the conditions for financial contribution by the Community to common measures as referred to in Article 15 of Directive 72/159/EEC.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 911/2001(2), and in particular Article 2(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, standards for leeks have been adopted by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1076/89(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 888/97(4).
(2) In the interest of preserving transparency on the world market, account should be taken of the standard for leeks recommended by the working party on standardisation of perishable produce and quality development of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE). In addition, it is desirable to allow higher tolerances for Class I early leeks. It is therefore necessary to delete Regulation (EEC) No 1076/89 and to replace it by a new Regulation laying down standards taking these facts into account.
(3) Application of these standards should remove products of unsatisfactory quality from the market, bring production into line with consumer requirements and facilitate trade based on fair competition, thereby helping to improve profitability.
(4) The standards are applicable at all marketing stages. Long-distances transport, storage over a certain period and the various processes the products undergo may cause some degree of deterioration owing to the biological development of the products or their perishable nature. Account should be taken of such deterioration when applying the standard at the marketing stages following dispatch.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
The marketing standard for leeks falling within CN code 0703 90 00 shall be as set out in the Annex.
The standard shall apply at all marketing stages under the conditions laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2200/96.
However, at stages following dispatch, products may show in relation to the requirements of the standard slight lack of freshness and turgidity, as well as slight deterioration due to their development and their perishable nature.
Regulation (EEC) No 1076/89 is repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 March 2002.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine, ovine and caprine animals and swine, and fresh meat or meat products from third countries (1), as last amended by Directive 96/91/EC (2), and in particular Articles 14, 16, 21 (a) and 22 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/118/EEC of 17 December 1992 laying down animal health and public health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of products not subject to the said requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A (1) to Directive 89/662/EEC and, as regards pathogens, to Directive 90/425/EEC (3), as last amended by Directive 96/90/EC (4) and, in particular point (c) of Article 10 (2), read in conjunction with Annex I (Chapter 10) thereof,
Whereas following the partition of Yugoslavia, it is necessary to lay down specific animal health conditions and veterinary certification for imports of fresh meat from the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and to amend existing legislation accordingly; whereas it is necessary to lay down similar requirements for imports of fresh meat from the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia by amending Commission Decision 81/547/EEC (5), as last amended by Decision 92/453/EEC (6);
Whereas, following a Community veterinary mission, it appears that the animal health situation in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia compares favourably with that in Community countries particularly as regards disease transmissible through meat;
Whereas, in addition, the responsible veterinary authorities of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia have confirmed that that country has, for at least 12 months, been free from rinderpest, African swine fever, swine vesicular disease, and contagious porcine paralysis (Teschen disease);
Whereas vaccinations against the above disease have not taken place for at least 12 months; whereas vaccination against classical swine fever is carried out in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia; whereas classical swine fever breaks out there from time to time; whereas, therefore, imports of fresh meat of the porcine species from this country should not be authorized except for uses other than human consumption;
Whereas outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease have occurred in 1996 in part of the territory, the region of Kosovo and Metohija, but no vaccination was carried out; whereas therefore imports of fresh meat of bovine, ovine and caprine species from this region should not be authorized for the time being;
Whereas the responsible authorities of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia have undertaken to notify the Commission and the Member States within 24 hours by fax, telex or telegram of the confirmation of the occurrence of any of the abovementioned diseases or an alteration in the vaccination policy against them;
Whereas animal health conditions and veterinary certification must be adapted according to the animal health conditions of the non-member country concerned;
Whereas other health conditions must be established for meat not intended for human consumption in accordance with the provisions of Directive 92/118/EEC and Commission Decision 89/18/EEC (7), which deals with the importation of fresh meat for purposes other than human consumption;
Whereas the importation of glands and organs authorized by the country of destination is subject to the provisions of Directive 92/118/EEC;
Whereas Commission Decision 97/222/EC (8), which lays down the list of third countries authorized to use the specimen animal health certificates in respect of meat products imported from third countries, should therefore be amended accordingly;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
1. Member States shall authorize the importation of the following categories of fresh meat from the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia except the region of Kosovo and Metohija:
(a) fresh meat of domestic animals of the bovine, ovine or caprine species, conforming to the guarantees laid down in the animal health certificate in accordance with Annex A, which must accompany the consignment;
(b) fresh meat of domestic solipeds, conforming to the guarantees laid down in the animal health certificate in accordance with Annex B, which must accompany the consignment.
2. Member States shall authorize the importation of fresh pigmeat from the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia except the region of Kosovo and Metohija for purposes other than human consumption. Member States shall ensure that such imports meet the conditions of Decision 89/18/EEC and Directive 92/118/EEC and conform to the guarantees laid down in the animal health certificate in accordance with Annex C, which must accompany each consignment.
After arriving in the territory of the Community and during manufacture, the raw material shall be sterilized in hermetically sealed containers in such a way as to achieve a minimum F° value of 3; a veterinary check shall be made to ensure that the finished product has actually achieved that value.
In Decision 81/547/EEC the words 'Yugoslav Republics of Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia` and 'Yugoslavia` are replaced throughout the text by the words 'Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.`

of 27 September 2001
authorising Denmark, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 8(4) of Directive 92/81/EEC, to apply a differentiated rate of excise duty to petrol distributed by petrol stations meeting certain standards of equipment and operation

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/81/EEC of 19 October 1992 on the harmonisation of the structures of excise duties on mineral oils(1), and in particular Article 8(4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Under Article 8(4) of Directive 92/81/EEC, the Council, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission, may authorise any Member State to introduce further exemptions or reductions in the excise duty charged on mineral oils for specific policy considerations.
(2) Denmark has requested authorisation to apply, until 31 December 2004, a reduction in the rate of excise duty of a maximum of DKK 0,03 per litre on petrol distributed by petrol stations meeting the more stringent standards of equipment and operation.
(3) The purpose of these standards, which will be compulsory from 1 January 2005, is to speed up investment aimed at protecting soil and groundwater from leaks of methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) from underground tanks.
(4) The other Member States have been informed of this request by the Danish authorities.
(5) The proposed reduction in excise duty is a tax incentive consistent with the objective.
(6) The Commission has adopted a decision that the State aids set up by the measure in question are compatible.
(7) While leakage of MTBE into groundwater does not represent a real health problem as this substance is harmful only when highly concentrated, even minute quantities of MTBE in groundwater impart an unpleasant taste and smell to water, and water containing negligible quantities of MTBE would be undrinkable. The measure is sought on environmental grounds - the benefits in terms of protection of groundwater are known.
(8) This Decision does not prejudice any future conclusions of the evaluation of MTBE-related risks carried out under Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 of 23 March 1993 on the evaluation and control of the risks of existing substances(2).
(9) The measure envisaged by Denmark complies with the minimum rates of excise duty referred to in Articles 3 and 4 of Council Directive 92/82/EEC of 19 October 1992 on the approximation of the rates of excise duties on mineral oils(3).
(10) It is appropriate that the Council should have the opportunity to review this Council Decision, on the basis of a proposal from the Commission, no later than 31 December 2004, when the authorisation granted by this Decision expires,
In accordance with Article 8(4) of Directive 92/81/EEC, Denmark is hereby authorised to apply a reduction in the rate of excise duty of a maximum of DKK 0,03 per litre on petrol distributed by petrol stations meeting more stringent standards of equipment and operation designed to reduce leakage of MTBE into groundwater.
The reduced rates of excise duty referred to in Article 1 must comply with the requirements of Directive 92/82/EEC, and in particular the minimum rates laid down in Articles 3 and 4 thereof.
This Decision shall expire on 31 December 2004.
Before that date, the Council may review this Decision on the basis of a proposal from the Commission.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 of 27 June 1980 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1115/88 (2), and in particular Article 5 (4) thereof,
Whereas Article 5 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 provides for the grant of a premium to offset any loss of income sustained by producers of sheepmeat and, in certain areas, of goatmeat; whereas those areas are listed in Annex III to that Regulation and in Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1065/86 of 11 April 1986 determining the mountain areas in which the premium for goatmeat producers is granted (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3519/86 (4); whereas Article 5 (9) of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 provides for the possibility of the premium being granted to producers keeping females of the ovine species of certain mountain breeds other than ewes which are eligible for the premium in certain areas; whereas those ewes and areas are defined in the Annex to Council Regulation (EEC) No 872/84 of 31 March 1984 laying down general rules for the granting of premiums to sheepmeat producers (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3524/85 (6);
Whereas, pursuant to Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80, the loss of income represents, per 100 kilograms of carcase weight, any difference there may be between the basic price and the arithmetic mean of the market prices recorded for each region;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 5 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80, the amount of the premium payable per ewe and per region is obtained by multiplying the loss of income referred to in paragraph 2 by a coefficient representing, for each region, the normal average annual production of lamb meat per ewe expressed per 100 kilograms of carcase weight; whereas, however, for region 5, that loss of income must be reduced by the weighted average of the variable premiums actually granted for the 1987 marketing year, such average being obtained in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 6 of that Article; whereas Article 5 (3) also fixes the amount of the premium payable per female of the caprine species at 80 % of the premium per ewe; whereas, pursuant to Article 5 (9), the amount of the premium per female of the ovine species, other than a ewe which is eligible for the premium, is also fixed at 80 % of the premium per ewe;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2345/87 (7), authorizes the Member States to pay an advance to producers located in less-favoured agricultural areas; whereas such an advance was paid during the 1987 marketing year to the producers in question;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 4 (4) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3007/84 (8), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1514/86 (9), the Member States in region 1 are not authorized to make a payment on account of the premium referred to in Article 5 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80; whereas, however, in view of the current quite exceptional situation on the markets in region 1, Greece and Italy have been authorized, by way of derogation from Article 4 (4), to make a payment on account of the said premium;
Whereas the French Government has decided to come to the assistance of farmers whose holdings are located in areas which are not less favoured; whereas, to that end, the French Government has contemplated making an advance to them also, but out of national funds, of an amount corresponding to 50 % of the ewe premium which such farmers may claim at the end of the marketing year;
Whereas the French Government has notified the Commission of that planned national aid in accordance with Article 93 (3) of the Treaty;
Whereas the Council decided by the Decision of 23 July 1987 to regard the national aid in the form of a payment on account of the premium for ewes, granted by the French Government to French sheepmeat producers whose holdings are located in areas of France which are not less favoured, as being compatible with the common market, up to a rate of 50 % of the estimated premium and until the end of the 1987 marketing year;
Whereas the premium payable per eligible animal is paid only if the amount fixed per ewe is one ECU or more;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 5 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1873/80, the amount of the definitive premium and the balance to be paid in less-favoured agricultural areas should be fixed;
Whereas the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The loss of income recorded for the 1987 marketing year for the regions listed below is as follows:
1.2 // Region // Difference in ECU per 100 kg // 2 // 118,060 // 3 // 123,654 // 4 // 136,360 // 5 // 61,672 // 6 // 104,881 // 7 // 95,693.

2. The amount of the premium payable per female of the caprine species and per region in the areas listed in Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 and in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1065/86 for the 1987 marketing year is as follows:
1.2 // Region // ECU // 1 // 17,473 // 2 // 17,473 // 7 // 13,521.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 164(2), in conjunction with Article 4, thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 162(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Part XVI of Annex I to that Regulation and prices for those products on the Community market may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Given the present situation on the market in milk and milk products, export refunds should be fixed in accordance with the rules and certain criteria provided for in Articles 162, 163, 164, 167, 169 and 170 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
(3) Article 164(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that export refunds may vary according to destination, especially where the world market situation, the specific requirements of certain markets or obligations resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty make this necessary.
(4) Export refunds for the Dominican Republic have been differentiated to take into account the reduced custom duties applied on imports under the import tariff quota under the Memorandum of Understanding between the European Community and the Dominican Republic on import protection for milk powder in the Dominican Republic (2), approved by Council Decision 98/486/EC (3). Due to a changed market situation in the Dominican Republic, characterised by increased competition for milk powder, the quota is no longer fully used. In order to maximise the use of the quota, the differentiation of export refunds for the Dominican Republic should be abolished.
(5) Commission Regulation (EU) No 326/2010 (4) amending Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 of 17 December 1987 establishing an agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds (5) added certain product codes concerning cheeses to the agricultural product nomenclature. Consequently, those codes should be included in the Annex to this Regulation.
(6) The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chair,
Export refunds as provided for in Article 164 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall be granted on the products and for the amounts set out in the Annex to this Regulation, subject to the conditions provided for in Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1187/2009 (6).

Having regard to Council Directive 91/67/EEC of 28 January 1991 concerning the animal health conditions governing the placing on the market of aquaculture animals and products(1), as last amended by Directive 98/45/EC(2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Member States can obtain for their entire territory or parts thereof, the status of approved zone, free of certain diseases affecting fish or molluscs.
(2) The Commission, by Decision 92/538/EEC(3), granted the status of approved continental and coastal zone for infectious haematopoietic necrosis (IHN) and viral haemorrhagic septicaemia (VHS) to Great Britain.
(3) Following confirmation of a case of VHS on the island of Gigha, being part of the territory of Great Britain, the status of approved zone for VHS for this island was withdrawn by Commission Decision 94/817/EC(4).
(4) The United Kingdom has submitted to the Commission a programme, which was adopted by Commission Decision 97/185/EC(5), designed to re-establish the approved zone status of the island of Gigha with regard to VHS.
(5) After examination of the evidence submitted by the United Kingdom, it appears that this programme has been successfully completed, since no case of VHS has been detected through an extensive testing of both wild and farmed fish.
(6) The conditions are fulfilled to re-establish the approved zone status of the island of Gigha with regard to VHS.
(7) For the sake of clarity it is, therefore, appropriate to repeal Commission Decisions 92/538/EEC and 97/185/EC and to re-establish the approved zone status, with regard to IHN and VHS, of the entire territory of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
Great Britain is recognised as approved continental zone and approved coastal zone for fish with regard to infectious haematopoietic necrosis and viral haemorrhagic septicaemia.
Northern Ireland is recognised as approved continental zone and aproved coastal zone for fish with regard to infectious haematopoietic necrosis and viral haemorrhagic septicaemia.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 61/92 (2), and in particular the seventh indent of Article 9 (6) thereof,
Whereas Article 9 (4) (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that, during the 1991 and 1992/93 marketing years, adjustment aid is to be granted as an intervention measure to the refining industry for raw sugar imported into Portugal at a reduced levy pursuant to Article 303 of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal and refined into white sugar in Portugal; whereas that aid amounts to ECU 0,08 per 100 kilograms of sugar expressed as white sugar for quantities of such sugar thus imported and refined in Portugal; whereas the quantities of raw sugar imported at a reduced levy are those referred to in the first paragraph of Article 303 of the Act of Accession as well as the quantities lacking referred to in the third paragraph of that Article, the import of which at a reduced levy is authorized for the marketing year under consideration;
Whereas the third subparagraph of Article 9 (4c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that the abovementioned adjustment aid may be altered for a given marketing year, in the light in particular of the amount of the storage levy fixed for that year; whereas although sugar imported into Portugal at a reduced levy is not subject to the storage levy, in view of the quantities of such sugar refined that levy is a determining factor for the prices as a whole on the market for white sugar and therefore for the margin of the Portuguese refineries;
Whereas the amount of the storage levy for the 1992/93 marketing year was fixed by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1799/92 (3) at ECU 2,50 per 100 kilograms of white sugar; whereas this amount is identical to that applicable for the 1991/92 marketing year;
Whereas account should, however, be taken in the alteration in the aid in question that has already been made for the 1990/91 and 1991/92 marketing years in order to neutralize the effect of successive storage levy reductions on the refining margin for the 1992/93 marketing year;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The adjustment aid provided for in the second subparagraph of Article 9 (4) (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 shall be fixed et ECU 1,58 per 100 kilograms of sugar expressed as white sugar for the 1992/93 marketing year.

Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (1), and in particular the third indent of Article 8(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 206/2009 (2) lays down rules concerning the introduction into the Union of personal consignments of products of animal origin of a non-commercial nature which form part of travellers’ luggage, or are delivered to private persons in small amounts also as a result of remote orders (for example by mail, by telephone or via the internet).
(2) Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 206/2009 requires Member States to ensure that at all points of entry into the Union, the veterinary conditions applicable to personal consignments introduced into the Union are brought to the attention of travellers arriving from third countries. The information to be provided to travellers has to include at least the information contained in one of the posters set out in Annex III to that Regulation. The posters contain information on derogations for certain third countries of geographical proximity and limited animal health risk.
(3) Croatia is one of those countries. Subject to, and as from the date of the entry into force of the Treaty of Accession of Croatia, it is necessary to delete the entry for that country from those posters.
(4) It is also opportune to slightly review the wording and the layout of the message presented in the posters in order to make it clearer for the travellers and the general public.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the European Union, and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the European Union, and in particular Article 37 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Regulation (EC) No 1962/2006 (1), the Commission imposed safeguard measures in respect to Bulgaria in the area of civil aviation pursuant to Article 37 of the Act of Accession of Bulgaria in order to address a serious breach of the functioning of the internal market for air transport, resulting from a failure to implement commitments undertaken by Bulgaria in the context of accession negotiations with regard to Community policy in the area of aviation safety concerning economic activities with cross border effects.
(2) Following the imposition of the safeguard measures provided by Regulation (EC) No 1962/2006, the competent authority for civil aviation of Bulgaria (hereinafter referred to as the Bulgarian CAA) proposed to and agreed with the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) a plan of corrective measures designed to remedy the safety shortcomings identified during previous visits by EASA and the Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA).
(3) The Commission requested on 6 September 2007 EASA to verify regulatory compliance of the Bulgarian Aviation Authorities in all aspects of safety affected by the safeguard measures imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1962/2006, i.e. to verify the implementation of the agreed corrective action plan and the capacity of the Bulgarian CAA to implement the rules and ensure that they are properly respected as part of its oversight obligations.
(4) This inspection visit was carried out by EASA from 26 to 30 November 2007 in application of Articles 24(1) and (5) and 54 of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 February 2008 on common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishing a European Aviation Safety Agency, and repealing Council Directive 91/670/EEC, Regulation (EC) No 1592/2002 and Directive 2004/36/EC (2) and in accordance with the provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 736/2006 of 16 May 2006 on working methods of the European Aviation Safety Agency for conducting standardisation inspections (3). Following this visit, EASA issued its report on 15 February 2008 (4).
(5) In its report of the standardisation visit EASA noted a definitive improvement: all required Part M, Part 145, Part 147 approvals and all Part 66 licences have been issued. Also the Air Operator Certificates except for one have been issued according to European requirements. Hence, EASA was able to close 44 out of 45 findings in the area of airworthiness while it raised 12 new findings concerning processes of continuous oversight.
(6) In its report, EASA also stated that since the previous inspection visit in November 2006, the Bulgarian CAA had taken drastic measures with regard to the airworthiness of all aircraft registered in Bulgaria.
(7) Thus, the number of aircraft on the Bulgarian register had been reduced by nearly half due to the removal from the register of aircraft of former Soviet design falling under Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 216/2008. Also, the Bulgarian CAA has taken actions to limit or revoke non-complying approvals and certificates. The number of inspectors for continued airworthiness has increased from eight to 12 (with, in addition, three new support staff). Furthermore, there has been a significant improvement in record keeping by the Bulgarian CAA over the last year, making the demonstration of the level of oversight clear to the inspectors of EASA. It was also noted that the Bulgarian CAA has put much effort into developing an Inspectors' Handbook covering the relevant requirements with associated check lists to be used by applicants for initial approvals or variation to existing approvals. Lastly, it was documented that comprehensive training has been carried out for both existing and new CAA staff, although certain areas such as approval of maintenance and reliability programmes, Reduced Visibility RVSM programmes were not particularly addressed.
(8) At the same time, EASA concluded that further enhancements mainly in the area of airworthiness certification and continuous oversight were, however, still required to resolve the lack of assessment by the Bulgarian CAA of the effectiveness of the quality system common to operations, maintenance and flight crew licensing. In particular in this area, EASA raised one finding of non-compliance pursuant to Article 13(d) of Regulation (EC) No 736/2006 evidencing significant standardisation concerns of non-compliance in the area concerned and raising safety concerns if not promptly corrected. In parallel certain non-compliances observed in the undertakings visited during this visit to verify the effectiveness of the oversight exercised by the Bulgarian CAA, confirmed the necessity for these authorities to propose corrective actions for another 10 findings pursuant to Article 13(c) to resolve these matters within 14 days.
(9) The Bulgarian CAA reacted timely and submitted corrective actions to EASA which were implemented with the agreement of EASA. In order to verify the effectiveness of implementation of these actions, EASA carried out a follow-up visit on 8 and 9 April 2008 and issued a statement of closure of findings pursuant to Article 12(b) of Regulation (EC) No 736/2006 on 24 April 2008. The statements presented therein were further amended in a final version drawn up by EASA on 21 May, which was transmitted to the Commission on 26 May 2008.
(10) On 15 May 2008, Bulgaria formally requested the Commission to review and remove the safeguard measures pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1962/2006 motivating its request by referring to the statement of closure of findings issued earlier by EASA.
(11) Pursuant to Article 37 of the Act of Accession of Bulgaria to the European Union, the safeguard measures shall be maintained no longer than strictly necessary and, in any case, shall be lifted when the relevant commitment is implemented. Bulgaria's successful implementation of the agreed corrective actions is considered sufficient to guarantee the capacity of the Bulgarian CAA to ensure compliance with Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 and its implementing regulations.
(12) The Commission considers therefore, that the commitment of Bulgaria to fully apply the Community rules in the area of air transport is fulfilled and that the safeguard measures imposed by virtue of Regulation (EC) No 1962/2006 should be lifted.
(13) Pursuant to Article 37 of the Act of Accession of Bulgaria to the European Union, the Commission shall inform the Council in good time before revoking the European regulations and decisions establishing the safeguard measures, and it shall take duly into account any observations of the Council in this respect. Accordingly, the Commission informed the Council on 22 July 2008.
(14) The Council agreed on the proposed measures on 24 July 2008, without observations,
Regulation (EC) No 1962/2006 is repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

| Council Regulation (EC) No 254/2002
of 12 February 2002
establishing measures to be applicable in 2002 for the recovery of the stock of cod in the Irish Sea (ICES division VIIa)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(1),
Whereas:
(1) In November 1999, the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) indicated that the stock of cod in the Irish Sea (ICES division VIIa) is at serious risk of collapse.
(2) Further advice from ICES indicates that quantities of mature cod in the Irish Sea have remained at a very low level during 2000 and 2001 and will continue to be low during 2002.
(3) Commission Regulation (EC) No 304/2000 of 9 February 2000 establishing measures for the recovery of the stock of cod in the Irish Sea (ICES division VIIa)(2) put in place measures to protect adult cod during the spawning season of 2000.
(4) Council Regulation (EC) No 300/2001 of 14 February 2001 establishing measures to be applied in 2001 for the recovery of the stock of cod in the Irish Sea (ICES division VIIa)(3) put in place measures to protect adult cod during the spawning season of 2001.
(5) During the period of application of previous measures, further scientific work was completed and practical experience has been gained which imply that the conditions applied in 2001 should be modified for 2002.
(6) In particular, the use of semi-pelagic trawls within the closed area should no longer be permitted and the use of separator trawls should be extended to a larger part of the closed area. As a consequence, it is no longer necessary to provide for observers to be present on the vessels using such gear.
(7) Measures laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 2549/2000 of 17 November 2000 establishing additional technical measures for the recovery of the stock of cod in the Irish Sea (ICES division VIIa)(4) regarding the insertion into beam trawls of panels of diamond-mesh netting material of large mesh size and insertion into otter trawls deployed for the capture of queen scallops of large mesh and square-mesh panels require to be amended to circumvent practical difficulties previously encountered.
(8) Given the urgency of the measures to be taken, this Regulation should enter into force without delay,
This Regulation lays down measures to protect mature cod during their spawning season of 2002 in the Irish Sea (ICES division VIIa as defined in Council Regulation (EEC) No 3880/91 of 17 December 1991 on the submission of nominal catch statistics by Member States fishing in the North-East Atlantic(5)).
1. In the period from 14 February to 30 April 2002 it shall be prohibited to use any demersal trawl, seine or similar towed net, any gill net, trammel net, tangle net or similar static net or any fishing gear incorporating hooks within that part of ICES division VIIa enclosed by:
- the east coast of Ireland and the east coast of Northern Ireland and
- straight lines sequentially joining the following geographical coordinates:
a point on the east coast of the Ards peninsula in Northern Ireland at 54° 30' N,
54° 30' N, 04° 50' W,
54° 15' N, 04° 50' W,
a point on the east coast of Ireland at 53° 15' N.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, within the area and time period referred to therein:
(a) the use of demersal otter trawls shall be permitted provided that no other type of fishing gear is retained on board and that such nets:
(i) are of mesh size either 70 mm to 79 mm or 80 mm to 99 mm, and
(ii) are of only one of the permitted mesh size ranges, and
(iii) incorporate no individual mesh, irrespective of its position within the net, of mesh size greater than 300 mm, and
(iv) are deployed only within an area enclosed by sequentially joining with straight lines the following geographical coordinates:
53° 30' N, 05° 30' W
53° 30' N, 05° 20' W
54° 20' N, 04° 50' W
54° 30' N, 05° 10' W
54° 30' N, 05° 20' W
54° 00' N, 05° 50' W
54° 00' N, 06° 10' W
53° 45' N, 06° 10' W
53° 45' N, 05° 30' W
53° 30' N, 05° 30' W;
(b) the use of separator trawls shall be permitted provided that no other type of fishing gear is retained on board and that such nets:
(i) comply with the conditions laid down in subparagraph (a)(i) to (iv), and
(ii) are constructed in conformity with the technical details provided in the Annex.
Furthermore, separator trawls may also be used within an area enclosed by straight lines sequentially joining the following geographical coordinates:
53° 45' N, 06° 00' W
53° 45' N, 05° 30' W
53° 30' N, 05° 30' W
53° 30' N, 06° 00' W
53° 45' N, 06° 00' W.
1. It shall be permitted to use demersal otter trawls of mesh size range 80 mm to 99 mm in which no diamond-mesh panel as specified in Article 2(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2549/2000 or square-mesh panel as specified in Article 2(7) of the said Regulation is included, provided that the catch taken with such nets and retained on board consists of at least 85 % of queen scallops and no more than 5 % of cod.
2. By way of derogation from Article 2(6) of Regulation (EC) No 2549/2000, it shall be prohibited to carry on board or deploy any beam trawl of mesh size equal to, or greater than, 80 mm unless the entire upper half of the anterior part of such a net consists of a panel of diamond-meshed netting material of which no individual mesh is of mesh size less than 180 mm attached directly to the headline or to no more than three rows of netting material of any mesh size attached directly to the headline.
The panel of netting shall extend towards the posterior of the net for at least the number of meshes determined by:
(a) dividing the length in metres of the beam of the net by 12;
(b) multiplying the result obtained in (a) by 5400;
(c) dividing the result obtained in (b) by the mesh size in millimetres of the smallest mesh in the panel, and

Whereas, by letter dated 10 February 1981, the United Kingdom has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "Bruker-time averaging computer, model B-E 50", to be used for research into the nature of metal-non metal transition in liquid semiconductors and of the motion of ions in ionic conductors, should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 23 June 1981 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a computer;
Whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research ; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities ; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus ; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus ; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,
The apparatus described as "Bruker-time averaging computer, model B-E 50", which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 10 February 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 20 September 2007
concerning the non-inclusion of 1,3-dichloropropene in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing that substance
(notified under document number C(2007) 4281)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2007/619/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 8(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC provides that a Member State may, during a period of 12 years following the notification of that Directive, authorise the placing on the market of plant protection products containing active substances not listed in Annex I of that Directive that are already on the market two years after the date of notification, while those substances are gradually being examined within the framework of a programme of work.
(2) Commission Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 (2) and (EC) No 703/2001 (3) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the second stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and establish a list of active substances to be assessed with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list includes 1,3-dichloropropene.
(3) For 1,3-dichloropropene the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 and (EC) No 703/2001 for a range of uses proposed by the notifiers. Moreover, those regulations designate the rapporteur Member States which have to submit the relevant assessment reports and recommendations to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in accordance with Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 451/2000. For 1,3-dichloropropene the rapporteur Member State was Spain and all relevant information was submitted on 14 January 2004.
(4) The assessment report has been peer reviewed by the Member States and the EFSA, and presented to the Commission on 12 May 2006 in the format of the EFSA Conclusion regarding the peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance 1,3-dichloropropene (4). This report has been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 15 May 2007 in the format of the Commission review report for 1,3-dichloropropene.
(5) During the evaluation of this active substance, a number of areas of concern have been identified. This was in particular the case concerning the release in the environment of large amounts of known and unknown polychlorinated impurities, for which no information on persistency, toxicological behaviour, uptake from crops, accumulation, metabolic fate and residue level are available. As a result of that, the consumer exposure has not been demonstrated to be acceptable and there is a possible risk of groundwater contamination, for birds, mammals, aquatic organisms and other non-target organisms.
(6) The Commission invited the notifier to submit its comments on the results of the peer review and on its intention or not to further support the substance. The notifier submitted its comments which have been carefully examined. However, despite the arguments advanced, the above concerns remained unsolved, and assessments made on the basis of the information submitted and evaluated during the EFSA expert meetings have not demonstrated that it may be expected that, under the proposed conditions of use, plant protection products containing 1,3-dichloropropene satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
(7) 1,3-dichloropropene should therefore not be included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(8) Measures should be taken to ensure that existing authorisations for plant protection products containing 1,3-dichloropropene are withdrawn within a prescribed period and are not renewed and that no new authorisations for such products are granted.
(9) Any period of grace for disposal, storage, placing on the market and use of existing stocks of plant protection products containing 1,3-dichloropropene allowed by Member States, should be limited to a period no longer than 12 months to allow existing stocks to be used in no more than one further growing season, which ensures that plant protection products containing 1,3-dichloropropene remain available to farmers for 18 months from the adoption of this Decision.
(10) 1,3-dichloropropene is being used to replace methyl bromide. Methyl bromide is subject to phasing-out under the Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the ozone layer due to its high ozone depletion potential and its use is covered by strict quotas to satisfy ‘critical uses’. The withdrawal of 1,3-dichloropropene is therefore likely to lead to new requests for quotas of methyl bromide. In order to achieve the objectives of the Montreal Protocol, the time limit for the withdrawal of authorisations of plant protection products containing 1,3-dichloropropene should be reviewed within 18 months in order to assess the concrete impact of its withdrawal on the use of methyl bromide.
(11) During the withdrawal period, the Member States should adopt mitigation measures to deal with any danger to human or animal health, or the environment.
(12) This decision does not prejudice the submission of an application for 1,3-dichloropropene according to the provisions of Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC in view of a possible inclusion in its Annex I.
(13) 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 COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 17 of 6 February 1962: First Regulation implementing Articles 85 and 86 of the Treaty (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Having regard to the application for negative clearance and notification made on 18 January 1983 by IBM Europe SA concerning a selective distribution system for the IBM personal computer,
Having regard to the publication of a summary of the application and notification (2) pursuant to Article 19 (3) of the said Regulation No 17 and of the Commission's intention to take a favourable decision,
After consultation with the Advisory Committee on Restrictive Practices and Dominant Positions,
Whereas
I. THE FACTS
The parties
(1) IBM Europe SA is a subsidiary of IBM World Trade Europe/Middle East/Africa Corporation, itself ultimately a subsidiary of the International Business Machines Corporation of the State of New York in the USA. It made the said application and notification on behalf of:
- IBM UK International Products Ltd, and of:
- IBM Belgium Distribution Company SA,
- IBM Danmark Produkt Distribution Selskab A/S,
- IBM Deutschland Produktvertrieb GmbH,
- IBM EMEA Product Distribution Corporation,
- IBM France Diffusion SA,
- IBM Ireland Product Distribution Ltd,
- IBM Italia Distribuzione Prodotti Srl,
- IBM Nederland Distributie BV, and
- IBM UK Product Sales Ltd.
The IBM group is the largest manufacturer or provider of information-handling systems, equipment and services in the world. IBM UK International Products Ltd supplies the IBM personal computers to the other companies listed, which are the IBM subsidiaries that sell this computer to dealers (and also to end users) within their Member State (apart from IBM Belgium Distribution Company SA which also sells to dealers in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg). IBM UK International Products Ltd also supplies IBM subsidiaries outside the Community, and any independent distributor appointed by IBM.
The product and market
(2) The goods affected by the arrangements are the IBM personal computers and related peripheral and software products. These are now the smallest systems in the IBM range of products. They are based on a micro-processor. They are in competition with other micro-computers. These are sold mainly for private use in the home, for individual use in business or education, for personal professional use or for small firms. The IBM personal computers are at the more expensive end of the range of micro-computers.
(3) Most mainframe and mini-computer manufacturers sell direct to the end user. IBM continues to do this for most of its product range. Micro-computers, however, have mostly been sold through independent retail outlets or software houses. IBM intends to offer its personal computer systems direct to end users from those of its own offices equipped to do so, but also to sell through both wholesalers and retailers.
(4) When micro-computers first became widely available, they were often sold through non-specialized outlets such as the retailers of consumer electronics, bookshops or mail-order houses. Some micro-computers (more particularly the smaller ones aimed more at home use) are still sold through such outlets. However, some manufacturers (IBM among them) of larger micro-computers, more often bought for business or professional use, believe that some users inexpert in such use of data processing have bought from such outlets inappropriate systems they were unable to use satisfactorily, and that this has harmed the reputation of their products. It is for this reason and to ensure that users receive proper after-sales service that IBM wish to create a selective distribution system. It is based on objective criteria, and IBM will appoint as an authorized dealer or distributor, as the case may be, every applicant satisfying the criteria. Their object is to make the IBM personal computer hardware and software available to users through as many outlets capable of offering skilled pre- and after-sales service as possible.
(5) The markets in which the arrangements have their effects, therefore, are the retailing of micro-computer hardware and software for business or professional use and the supplying of retailers and wholesalers of such micro-computers.
The selective distribution system
(6) The criteria for appointment as an authorized dealer are:
1. Sales staff experienced in business use of micro-computers, trained, or ready to be trained (one week), in the IBM personal computers;
2. Appropriate space for demonstration and display of the computers and willingness to keep at least one available for demonstration purposes;
3. Ability to provide customers with technical support and training;
4. Service facilities and experienced staff trained (three days) in servicing the IBM personal computers;
5. Ability to run a micro-computer sales business;
6. Favourable banker's reference and credit rating;
7. Prospective dealer has no contractual obligation preventing him becoming a dealer;
8. Acceptance of IBM terms and conditions;
9. Compliance with the law and IBM's code of professional conduct; this code forbids the dealer to make false claims for IBM's products or false or disparaging statements about competitors' products.
(7) A chain of dealers with its own distribution system asked IBM whether IBM would grant it an extra discount if the chain bought in bulk from IBM's factory and provided its dealers with the delivery and back-up after-sales service normally supplied to dealers by IBM's national distribution companies. IBM agreed, and is offering to appoint any other chain of outlets or independent wholesaler as a distributor on the same terms. The selection criteria for distributors are similar to those for dealers.
(8) IBM sells to distributors fob Greenock at its published distributor prices, which are expressed in ÂŁ sterling. IBM sells to dealers from its personal-computer product sales subsidiaries or branches at their published dealer prices expressed in local currency, and to end users from its own sales force and retail outlets at their published retail prices again expressed in local currency. Distributors are free to fix their own selling prices and to buy from or sell to any other authorized distributor or dealer in any Western European country, which includes all Member States. Dealers are also free to fix their own selling prices and to buy from any other authorized dealer or distributor and to sell to any end-user or any other authorized dealer or distributor, in any Western European country.
(9) IBM has a standard contract for distributors, expressed in English, and a standard contract for dealers expressed in the language or languages appropriate for each Member State (save that the Greek dealer contract is expressed in English). The various dealer's contracts are identical apart from language and some minor differences necessary to adapt them to the different systems of law of each Member State.
(10) After amendments, following discussion with the Commission, aimed at ensuring that the selection criteria be objectively applied without discrimination and that the contracts offer no opportunity of abuse, the following are among the terms of the dealer contracts:
1. A dealer is appointed for three years, renewable; a dealer may terminate the agreement without reason at any time; IBM may terminate only if IBM decides to cease completely distribution through dealers (this at one year's notice to all dealers) or for breach of contract by the dealer, duly reasoned and notified;
2. The dealer is specifically free to fix its own prices without any reference to or influence from IBM;
3. IBM may only refuse a dealer's order if out of stock;
4. A dealer must submit its advertisements (but not including any advertised prices or conditions) for IBM approval;
5. A dealer must maintain a record of customers' names and addresses, serial numbers of purchases and dates of delivery, for the purposes of repairs under warranty, and make the record available to IBM in the event of any necessary safety changes;
6. Within the warranty period, a dealer must provide service under warranty for any machine whether originally supplied by it or by IBM or any other authorized dealer within Western Europe (which includes the whole of the Community); IBM pays dealers for warranty services performed;
7. A dealer is free to sell competing products, and has an obligation to describe IBM and competing products to prospective customers fairly;
8. A dealer may nominate other prospective dealers; IBM undertake to process such nominations within two months (the time they take to process direct applications and train applicants' staff) and appoint if the prospective dealer is qualified.
The distributor's contract contains similar terms. The main differences are: the duration is one year instead of three; IBM undertakes to appoint distributor's nominees for dealerships by default if their applications are not processed within two months; the distributor agrees to buy in bulk ex factory and service the dealers it supplies.
II. LEGAL ASSESSMENT
(11) Article 85 (1) prohibits as incompatible with the common market all agreements between undertakings, decisions by associations of undertakings, and concerted practices which may affect trade between Member States and which have as their object or effect the prevention, restriction or distortion of competition within the common market.
(12) As the Court of Justice of the European Communities held in the AEG-Telefunken case: 'Agreements that create a selective distribution system necessarily affect competition within the common market' (Case 107/82 Allgemeine Elektricitaets-Gesellschaft AEG-Telefunken AG, 33rd ground, judgment of 25 October 1983, not yet reported).
(13) On the other hand, the Court has also recognized that the nature of some goods and services is such that they cannot usefully be offered to the public other than by specialized outlets - for example, other than by someone capable of providing expert advice, or in the absence of expert servicing (see ibidem or Case 31/80 L'Oreal v. De Nieuwe AMCK (1980) ECR 3775 at paragraphs 15 and 16). (14) Computers are not simple products. Moreover, apart from the simplest computer bought for use as it were as a toy at home, they are not even single products, but rather a range of different products used together, as are the amplifier, the turntable and loudspeakers in a hi-fi system. The capabilities and price of the IBM personal computer make the business or professional user the most likely customer. In order first to choose and then operate a computer for business or professional purposes, the buyer must have, or be able to obtain information or advice on a number of different topics:
1. The nature of the business or professional operations capable of being performed by computers;
2. How to program computers to perform such operations and (and increasingly) the capabilities of available ready-made programs (i.e. software);
3. How to choose appropriate different products capable of working together in a system, and how to make them so work; and
4. The costs and capabilities of alternative systems (i.e. different combination of products) and their relation to the potential advantages or cost savings they make possible in the particular business or professional circumstances.
It is reasonable that a manufacturer should insist that its dealers are able to give such information or advice about the manufacturer's computers. In addition, most users will wish to try out different systems before purchasing, and rely on the availability of expert post-sales advice and repair and maintenance service. There are no national rules governing admission to or conditions of sale in the trade. Computer products such as the IBM personal computers do, therefore, at present justify a selective distribution system.
(15) This conclusion is based on the present situation in this market in which new highly technical products are being sold mainly to inexperienced users who have not enjoyed the education in computers that is now being offered in many schools and colleges.
(16) The criteria outlined at paragraph 6 above are of an objective nature and relate to the qualifications of the distributor or dealer or of his staff and the suitability of his premises. Moreover the conditions of contract have been drafted or modified so as to remove the possibility of abuse, and IBM have stated that it is their intention to appoint any candidate satisfying their criteria, and their object to appoint as many qualified distributors or dealers as possible.
(17) The criteria for the selection of dealers set out in paragraph 6 go no further than may reasonably be thought necessary for the distribution of the products in question and do not, therefore, fall under Article 85 (1). For this reason, and in the circumstances of this case, in particular because the evidence is that there will be no effort to maintain resale prices, the terms of the agreements summarized at paragraph 10 do not fall under Article 85 (1) either. The Commission therefore has adequate grounds for granting IBM a negative clearance for their selective distribution system,
On the basis of the facts in its possession the Commission has no grounds for action under Article 85 (1) of the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community in respect of the selective distribution system for the IBM personal computers.

modifying the intervention arrangements for butter and skimmed-milk powder
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 773/87 (2), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 7a (1) thereof,
Whereas Article 7a of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 affords the Commission the possibility, until the end of the fifth 12 month period of application of the additional levy arrangements set out in Article 5c of the said Regulation, on the one hand, of suspending intervention buying of butter and skimmed-milk powder on the basis of criteria to be adopted by the Council and, on the other, of adopting special measures for increasing the possibilities of disposing of dairy products not the subject of intervention measures;
Whereas it is appropriate to take into consideration the quantities offered for intervention in order to ascertain the point in time as from which the suspension measure may be decided upon in compliance with the principle of non-discrimination between Community producers; whereas it is appropriate, however, not to take account of quantities offered for intervention before a certain date, in order to set up a transitional period before the suspension measure is activated;
Whereas the possibility should be provided for, should this suspension be implemented, of conducting, nevertheless, intervention buying by means of a tendering procedure; whereas it is also appropriate to provide for other measures which maintain market stability;
Whereas, in view of the unique dependence of Ireland on the dairy sector, full account shall be taken of the importance of intervention purchasing of butter to market stability and producer returns there when decisions are being taken about the suspension of intervention of butter;
Whereas the situation arising from the existence in Spain of a level of prices different form the level of common prices should be taken into account;
Whereas, in order to guarantee some measure of market stability and fair remuneration for milk producers, provision should be made for the resumption of the intervention buying arrangements provided for in Article 6 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 when the market prices for butter are lower, by a givern given percentage, than the intervention price,
1. The buying in of butter provided for in Article 6 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 may be suspended throughout the Community or, if the market situation so warrants, in part of the Community as soon as the quantities offered for intervention from 1 March 1987 exceed 180 000 tonnes.
2. The buying in of skimmed-milk powder provided for in Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 may be suspended as soon as the quantities offered for intervention from 1 March 1987, for the period from 1 March to 31 August 1987, and from 1 March 1988, for the period from 1 March to 31 August 1988, exceed 100 000 tonnes.
3. If paragraphs 1 or 2 are applied:
(a) buying in by the intervention agencies may be carried out under a standing invitation to tender on the basis of specifications to be determined;
(b) other measures shall be applied to maintain market stability, in particular to avoid erratic changes in prices;
(c) account shall be taken of the special importance of the buying in of butter by the intervention agency for market stability and the returns of milk producers in Ireland;
(d) account shall be taken of the situation arising from the existence in Spain of a level of prices different from the level of common prices.
4. Should paragraph 1, when applied, bring about a fall in the market prices of butter such that these prices are, in one or more Member States, at a level equal to, or less than, 92 % of the intervention price for a representative period, the buying in provided for in Article 6 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 shall be resumed in the Member States concerned.
However, should the actual stocks of butter held by intervention agencies, regardless of quantities offered before 1 March 1987, exceed in total 250 000 tonnes, such buying in shall be resumed only if the market prices of butter are, in the Member States concerned, at a level equal to, or less than, 90 % of the intervention price.
The measures referred to in Article 1 shall apply until the end of the fifth 12-month period of application of the additional levy arrangements set out in Article 5c of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 14 April 2011
extending the transitional period concerning the acquisition of agricultural land in Slovakia
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2011/241/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia, and in particular Chapter 3 of Annex XIV thereto,
Having regard to the request made by Slovakia,
Whereas:
(1) The 2003 Act of Accession provides that Slovakia may maintain in force, under the conditions laid down therein, for a 7-year period following the accession, expiring on 30 April 2011, prohibitions on the acquisition of agricultural land by natural and legal persons from other EU Member States who are neither established nor registered nor having a branch or an agency in Slovakia. This is a temporary exception to the free movement of capital as guaranteed by Articles 63 to 66 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. This transitional period may only be extended once for a period of up to 3 years.
(2) On 20 January 2011, Slovakia requested to extend the transitional period concerning the acquisition of agricultural land by 3 years.
(3) The main reason for the transitional period was the need to safeguard the socioeconomic conditions for agricultural activities following the introduction of the single market and the transition to the common agricultural policy in Slovakia. In particular, it aimed to meet concerns raised about the possible impact on the agricultural sector of liberalising the acquisition of agricultural land due to initial large differences in land prices and income compared with Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom (hereinafter the EU-15). The transitional period was also designed to ease the process of restitution and privatisation of agricultural land. In its Report of 16 July 2008 on the Review of the transitional measures for the acquisition of agricultural real estate set out in the 2003 Accession Treaty (hereinafter the ‘Mid-Term Review’), the Commission has already emphasised the importance of the completion of the abovementioned agricultural reform by the end of the foreseen transitional period (1).
(4) According to data available to Eurostat, agricultural land prices in Slovakia are lower than the agricultural land prices in the EU. Complete convergence in agricultural land sales prices was neither expected nor seen as a necessary pre-condition for terminating the transitional period. Nevertheless, the noticeable differences in agricultural land prices between Slovakia and the EU-15 are such that they can hinder smooth progress towards price convergence. The risk of speculative activity on low value lands is also important.
(5) Similarly to the levels of agricultural land prices, the data from Eurostat show that the gap in per capita GDP in Purchasing Power Standards in Slovakia and the EU-15 still persists. Thus, existing agricultural land prices are high relative to the purchasing power in Slovakia.
(6) According to Eurostat, the structure of land property in Slovakia is characterised by the predominance of small family farms of less than 2 ha which are mostly not market oriented. The consolidation process of these small farms is very slow and the average exploited agricultural area per holding of less than 2 ha increased from 0,5 ha to 0,6 ha between 2001 and 2007. Even though only 4,56 % of the total number of workers works in agriculture, almost half of the population lives in rural areas. According to the Slovak authorities many agricultural lands which are in private hands are not farmed.
(7) Consolidation of agricultural land is also impeded by the unfinished process of restitution of ownership rights due to unsettled outstanding claims. Also, more than 360 000 ha of agricultural private lands are administrated by the Slovak Land Fund pending the identification of their legal owners. Approximately 130 000 ha of State-owned agricultural land remain under the administration of the Slovak Land Fund. These lands together with those which have uncertain legal situation represent almost one quarter of the total area of agricultural lands in the Slovak Republic. The lack of clarity on property rights inevitably hinders land transactions and consolidation of agricultural estates. Land fragmentation, in turn, further contributes to lower competitiveness and leads to less market-oriented farms.
(8) Against this background, it may be anticipated, as do the Slovak authorities, that the lifting of the restrictions on 1 May 2011 would exert pressure on the land prices in Slovakia. Therefore, a threat of serious disturbances on the Slovak agricultural land market upon the expiry of the transitional period exists.
(9) An extension of 3 years to the transitional period referred to in Chapter 3 of Annex XIV to the 2003 Act of Accession should therefore be granted.
(10) In order to fully prepare the market for liberalisation, it continues to be of utmost importance, even amid adverse economic circumstances, to foster the improvement of factors such as credit and insurance facilities for farmers, and the completion of the agricultural reform during the transitional period, as already emphasised in the Mid-Term Review.
(11) Since an open single market has always been at the heart of European prosperity, an increased inflow of foreign capital would also bring along potential benefits for the agricultural market in Slovakia. As emphasised in the Mid-Term Review of 2008, foreign investment in the agricultural sector would also have important long-term effects on the provision of capital and know-how, on the functioning of land markets and on agricultural productivity. The progressive loosening of the restrictions on foreign ownership during the transitional period would also contribute to preparing the market for full liberalisation.
(12) For the purpose of legal certainty and in order to avoid a legal vacuum in the national legal system of Slovakia after the expiry of the current transitional period, this Decision should enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union,
The transitional period concerning the acquisition of agricultural land in Slovakia referred to in Chapter 3 of Annex XIV to the 2003 Act of Accession shall be extended until 30 April 2014.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 28 July 1982, the Federal Republic of Germany requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'Tektronix - Transient Digitizer System, model WP2005, consisting of: R7912 Transient Digitizer, 605 Storage Monitor and 1350 Memory Display Unit', ordered on 24 August 1978 and intended for use in examining laser-induced plasma-imaging of particle spectra and, in particular, in recording and digitalizing short signals for further processing with a computer, should be considered to be a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 15 December 1982 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a conversion system;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the precision of the conversion, and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of equivalent scientific value capable of use for the same purpose is not currently manufactured in the Community; whereas, therefore, duty-free admission of this apparatus is justified,
The apparatus described as 'Tektronix - Transient Digitizer System, model WP2005, consisting of: R7912 Transient Digitizer, 605 Storage Monitor and 1350 Memory Display Unit', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 28 July 1982, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

31981D0945 | 81/945/EEC: Commission Decision of 10 November 1981 on a Belgian Government proposal to aid certain investments to be carried out by a Belgian undertaking for the establishment of production capacity of argon (Only the French and Dutch texts are authentic)
| COMMISSION DECISION of 10 November 1981 on a Belgian Government proposal to aid certain investments to be carried out by a Belgian undertaking for the establishment of production capacity of argon (Only the Dutch and French texts are authentic) (81/945/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 93 (2) thereof,
Having given notice to the parties concerned to submit their comments as provided for in Article 93,
Whereas:
I
The Belgian Law of 17 July 1959, implemented by the Royal Order of 17 August 1959 (1), introduced general measures to aid the Belgian economy and in particular interest rate rebates on loans contracted to pay for investments, State guarantees covering loans contracted by undertakings with banks where certain interest rebates are given, and exemption for five years from tax on income from immovable property.
When examining the Belgian Law, pursuant to the procedure defined in Article 93 (1) and (2) of the EEC Treaty, the Commission pointed out that, since it contained no industrial or regional objectives and permitted aid to be given for investment by any firm in any area or industry, it constituted a general aid system which, as such, could not qualify for exemption under Article 92 (3) (a) or (c). In the absence of such specific references, the Commission could not assess the scheme's effects on trade between Member States or on competition and was, therefore, unable to form an opinion as to its compatibility with the common market.
It is now the well-established policy of the Commission to accept such a general aid scheme subject to one of two conditions, namely that the Member State concerned informs the Commission of either a regional or sectoral plan of application or where this is felt not to be possible, that it notifies significant individual cases of application.
Commission Decision 75/397/EEC (2) required the Government of the Kingdom of Belgium to notify the Commission in advance and in sufficient time of significant cases of application of the Belgian Law of 17 July 1959 introducing measures to promote economic expansion and the creation of new industries so as to enable the Commission to decide on the compatibility of the proposed aids with the common market.
II
By telex dated 8 February 1979, the Belgian Government informed the Commission of its intention of granting assistance under the Law of 17 July 1959 for investment by a chemical firm located in Antwerp.
The firm concerned is the subsidiary of a group specializing in the production of industrial gas. The Belgian firm has 118 employees and its sales totalled Bfrs 1 500 million in 1977.
The assistance proposed by the Belgian Government is for the establishment of a plant for the manufacture of argon with an annual production capacity of 10 million m3. The investment would create two new jobs.
The assistance would take the form of a six-year 4 % interest relief grant on a loan representing two-thirds of the investment (Bfrs 154 million), equivalent, according to the Belgian authorities, to a grant for 12 % of the investment.
The firm concerned exports 32 % of its output to other Member States. If the planned investment project is implemented, Belgium would be the leading producer of argon in the Community. 90 % of the additional output would be exported to France and Germany.
(1) Moniteur Belge, 29.8.1959. (2) OJ No L 177, 8.7.1975, p. 13. III
The Belgian Government considers that the investment is a normal development of the firm's plant in Antwerp.
The Belgian Government points out, moreover, that the firm in question also has to finance investments abroad and that the assistance for the plant in Antwerp would therefore help reduce its overall financing costs.
IV
The aid proposed by the Belgian Government is therefore likely to affect trade between Member States and distort or threaten to distort competition by favouring the undertaking in question or the production of its goods within the meaning of Article 92 (1) of the EEC Treaty.
The terms of the Treaty provide that aids fulfilling the criteria set out in Article 92 (1) of the Treaty shall be incompatible with the common market. The exemptions from this incompatibility set out in Article 92 (3) of the EEC Treaty specify objectives to be pursued in the Community interest and not that of the individual beneficiary. These exemptions must be strictly construed in the examination both of regional or sectoral aid schemes and of individual cases of application of general aid systems. In particular they may be granted only when the Commission can establish that this will contribute to the attainment of the objectives specified in the derogations, which the recipient firms would not attain by their own actions under normal market conditions alone.
To grant an exemption where there is no compensatory justification would be tantamount to allowing trade between Member States to be affected and competition to be distorted without any benefit in terms of the interest of the Community, while at the same time accepting that undue advantages accrue to some Member States.
When applying the principles set out above in its examination of individual cases of application of general aid systems, the Commission must be satisfied that there exists on the part of the particular beneficiary a specific compensatory justification in that the grant of aid is required to promote the attainment of one of the objectives set out in Article 92 (3). Where such evidence cannot be provided and especially where the aided investment would take place unmodified, it is clear that the aid does not contribute to the attainment of the objectives specified in the exemptions but serves to increase the financial power of the undertaking in question.
In the case in question there does not appear to be such a compensatory justification on the part of the undertaking benefiting from the aid.
The Belgian Government has not been able to provide, nor has the Commission found, any evidence which establishes that the proposed aid meets the conditions justifying one of the exemptions provided for in Article 92 (3) of the EEC Treaty.
Furthermore, notwithstanding the fact that Belgium is experiencing a high rate of unemployment, with the result that the Commission has granted an exemption to a scheme of aids to employment on the grounds that a serious disturbance exists in the Belgian economy, it does not follow that every other aid of whatever nature proposed by the Belgian Government may automatically benefit from one of the exemptions specified in Article 92 (3), since each aid notified must be considered on its own merits in the light of the specific criteria laid down.
As far as the exemptions set out in Article 92 (3) (a) and (c) are concerned in respect of aids designed to promote or facilitate the development of certain areas, it is the case that the Antwerp area continues to enjoy a better socio-economic situation than that of other regions in Belgium ; to the extent to which the general problem of unemployment also exists in Antwerp, it is already provided for under the general scheme to promote employment and there is, therefore, no reason to grant a further exemption in respect of this aid on the grounds that it will promote or facilitate the development of that area, a purpose moreover for which this aid was not intended.
As regards the exemptions provided for in Article 92 (3) (b), this investment would be brought about in any event by normal market forces. There is nothing peculiar to the investment in question to qualify it as a project of common European interest or as one designed to remedy a serious disturbance in the economy of a Member State, which merits exemption under Article 92 (3) (b) from the provision laid down in Article 92 (1) on the incompatibility of aids.
Finally, as regards the exemption under Article 92 (3) (c) of the EEC Treaty for "aid to facilitate the development of certain economic activities", examination of the situation in the industrial gas market indicates that market forces should be sufficient in themselves, without public assistance, to ensure the normal development of that activity. Furthermore, some 90 % of the firm's total argon production will be exported to other Member States and consequently there is a risk that granting the assistance will adversely affect trade to an extent contrary to the common interest.
In view of the above the aid proposal of the Belgian Government does not meet the conditions necessary to benefit from any of the exemption set out in Article 92 (3) of the EEC Treaty,
The Kingdom of Belgium shall not put into effect its proposal, notified to the Commission by telex dated 8 February 1979, to grant assistance in respect of certain investments in argon production facilities by a chemical firm located in Antwerp under the Law of 17 July 1959 on the promotion of economic expansion and the creation of new industries.
The Kingdom of Belgium shall inform the Commission within two months of the date of notification of this Decision of the measures which it has taken to comply with it.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Belgium. | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas a Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Morocco, hereinafter referred to as "the Cooperation Agreement", and an Interim Agreement (2) were signed on 27 April 1976;
Whereas for the purpose of implementing the safeguard clauses and precautionary measures provided for in Articles 36 to 38 and 51 of the Cooperation Agreement and in Articles 28 to 30 and 37 of the Interim Agreement, detailed rules should be laid down for the application of Community Regulations, in particular Council Regulation (EEC) No 1439/74 of 4 June 1974 on common rules for imports (3) and Council Regulation (EEC) No 459/68 of 5 April 1968 on protection against dumping or the granting of bounties or subsidies by countries which are not members of the European Economic Community (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2011/73 (5),

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 520/94 of 7 March 1994 establishing a Community procedure for administering quantitative quotas (1), and in particular Article 2 (4) and Article 14 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1225/94 (2) determined the quantities to be allocated to non-traditional importers from the Community quantitative quotas applying, by virtue of Council Regulation (EC) No 519/94 (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1921/94 (4), to products originating in the People's Republic of China;
Whereas the Commission left unallocated a portion (26 917 pieces) of the quota for products of CN code 8527 29, since at the time Regulation (EC) No 1225/94 was adopted, the applications received in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 747/94 of 30 March 1994 establishing administrative procedures for quantitative quotas on certain products originating in the People's Republic of China (5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2508/94 (6), were not such as to permit allocation of economically significant quantities using the alternative (proportional) method adopted;
Whereas after allocation of the portion of the quota reserved for traditional importers, a balance of 69 416 pieces remains;
Whereas it is therefore now possible to meet applications from non-traditional importers submitted in accordance with Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 747/94 by redistributing the unallocated balance and the previously unallocated portion of the quota using the proportional method, since the total of 96 333 pieces thus available makes it possible to allocate economically significant quantities;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the quota management committee established by Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94,
The competent national authorities shall allocate 613 pieces to non-traditional importers who submitted import licence applications in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 747/94 for the Community quantitative quota applicable to car radios of CN code 8527 29.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Articles 13(2) and 78(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, Council Directive 91/414/EEC (2) is to apply, with respect to the procedure and the conditions for approval, to active substances for which a decision has been adopted in accordance with Article 6(3) of that Directive before 14 June 2011. For gamma-cyhalothrin the conditions of Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are fulfilled by Commission Decision 2004/686/EC (3).
(2) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the United Kingdom received on 4 November 2003 an application from Cheminova A/S for the inclusion of the active substance gamma-cyhalothrin in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Decision 2004/686/EC confirmed that the dossier was ‘complete’ in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(3) For that active substance, the effects on human and animal health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant. The designated rapporteur Member State, the United Kingdom, submitted a draft assessment report on 25 January 2008. In accordance with Article 11(6) of Commission Regulation (EU) No 188/2011 (4) additional information was requested from the applicant. The evaluation of the additional data by the United Kingdom was submitted in the format of addenda to the draft assessment report on 13 September 2012.
(4) The draft assessment report was reviewed by the Member States and the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’). The Authority presented to the Commission its conclusion on the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance gamma-cyhalothrin (5) on 4 February 2014. The draft assessment report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed and finalised on 10 October 2014 in the format of the Commission review report for gamma-cyhalothrin.
(5) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing gamma-cyhalothrin may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) and Article 5(3) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve gamma-cyhalothrin.
(6) In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is, however, necessary to include certain conditions and restrictions. It is, in particular, appropriate to require further confirmatory information.
(7) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before approval in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the approval.
(8) Without prejudice to the obligations provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as a consequence of approval, taking into account the specific situation created by the transition from Directive 91/414/EEC to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the following should, however, apply. Member States should be allowed a period of 6 months after approval to review authorisations of plant protection products containing gamma-cyhalothrin. Member States should, as appropriate, vary, replace or withdraw authorisations. By way of derogation from that deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier, as set out in Directive 91/414/EEC, of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles.
(9) The experience gained from inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 (6) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the Directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I to that Directive or the Regulations approving active substances.
(10) In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (7) should be amended accordingly.
(11) It is also appropriate to allow Member States to extend provisional authorisations granted for plant protection products containing gamma-cyhalothrin in order to provide them with the time necessary to fulfil the obligations set out in this Regulation as regards those provisional authorisations.
(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
Approval of active substance
The active substance gamma-cyhalothrin, as specified in Annex I, is approved subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Re-evaluation of plant protection products
1. Member States shall in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing gamma-cyhalothrin as an active substance by 30 September 2015.
By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to this Regulation are met, with the exception of those identified in the column on specific provisions of that Annex, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to Directive 91/414/EEC in accordance with the conditions of Article 13(1) to (4) of that Directive and Article 62 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing gamma-cyhalothrin as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances, all of which were listed in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 by 31 March 2015 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles, as referred to in Article 29(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to Directive 91/414/EEC and taking into account the column on specific provisions of Annex I to this Regulation. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
Following that determination Member States shall:
(a) in the case of a product containing gamma-cyhalothrin as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 30 September 2016 at the latest; or
(b) in the case of a product containing gamma-cyhalothrin as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 30 September 2016 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective act or acts which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC or approved that substance or those substances, whichever is the latest.
Amendments to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.
Extension of existing provisional authorisations
Member States may extend existing provisional authorisations for plant protection products containing gamma-cyhalothrin for a period ending on 30 September 2016 at the latest.
Entry into force and date of application
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Whereas:
(1) Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provides that the rates of duty in the Common Customs Tariff are to be charged on import of the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation. However, in the case of the products referred to in paragraph 2 of that Article, the import duty is to be equal to the intervention price valid for such products on importation and increased by a certain percentage according to whether it is husked or milled rice, minus the cif import price provided that duty does not exceed the rate of the Common Customs Tariff duties.
(2) Pursuant to Article 12(3) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, the cif import prices are calculated on the basis of the representative prices for the product in question on the world market or on the Community import market for the product.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 lays down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 as regards import duties in the rice sector.
(4) The import duties are applicable until new duties are fixed and enter into force. They also remain in force in cases where no quotation is available from the source referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 during the two weeks preceding the next periodical fixing.
(5) In order to allow the import duty system to function normally, the market rates recorded during a reference period should be used for calculating the duties.
(6) Application of Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 results in import duties being fixed as set out in the Annexes to this Regulation,
The import duties in the rice sector referred to in Article 11(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 shall be those fixed in Annex I to this Regulation on the basis of the information given in Annex II.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2520/97 (2), and in particular Article 27(1) and (2) thereof,
Whereas Article 27(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides for the possibility of setting an intervention threshold if the market in a product listed in Annex II thereto is suffering or at risk of suffering from widespread structural imbalances giving, or liable to give rise to too large a volume of withdrawals; whereas such a development would be likely to cause budget problems for the Community;
Whereas an intervention threshold was fixed for tomatoes for the 1998 marketing year in Regulation (EC) No 281/98 (3); whereas, since the conditions laid down in the abovementioned Article 27 continue to be met for that product, a new threshold should be set for the 1999 marketing year equal to that set for the 1998 marketing year, and the period to be taken into account for the assessment of the overrun of the threshold should also be determined;
Whereas, pursuant to the abovementioned Article 27, an overrun of the intervention threshold results in a reduction in the Community withdrawal compensation in the marketing year following the year in which the threshold is exceeded; whereas the consequences of such an overrun should be determined and a reduction in proportion to the size of the overrun fixed, but restricted to a certain percentage;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3950/88 of 11 December 1988 allocating, for 1989, Community catch quotas in Greenland waters (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1578/89 (4), provides for cod quotas for 1989;
Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantitative limitations on catches of stocks subject to quotas, it is necessary for the Commission to fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated;
Whereas, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of cod in the waters of ICES divisions XIV, and V (Greenland waters) by vessels flying the flag of Germany or registered in Germany have reached the quota allocated for 1989; whereas Germany has prohibited fishing for this stock as from 29 June 1989; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3906/87 (2), and in particular Article 4 (6) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 of 13 November 1984 determining the Community scale for grading pig carcases (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3530/86 (4), and in particular Article 5 (2) thereof,
Whereas Article 2 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 provides that the grading of pig carcases must be determined by estimating the content of lean meat in accordance with statistically proven assessment methods based on the physical measurement of one or more anatomical parts of the pig carcase; whereas the authorization of grading methods is subject to compliance with a maximum tolerance for statistical error in assessment; whereas this tolerance has been defined in Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85 of 24 October 1985 laying down detailed rules for the application of the Community scale for grading pig carcases (5);
Whereas the Italian Government has requested the Commission to authorize the use of three methods for grading pig carcases on its territory and has submitted the information required in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85; whereas an examination of this request has revealed that the conditions for authorizing the said grading methods are fulfilled;
Whereas two different pig populations are present in Italy of which the meat is found in different markets; whereas it is appropriate to provide for two different formulae of estimation, one of them concerning light types of pigs (carcase weight between 60 and 120 kg) and the other adapted to the commercial category of heavy types of pigs (carcase weight between 120 and 180 kg);
Whereas no modification of the apparatus or grading method may be authorized except by means of a new Commission decision adopted in the light of experience gained; whereas, for this reason, the present authorization may be revoked;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
The use of the following methods is hereby authorized for grading pig carcases pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 in Italy:

of 1 August 2007
derogating from Regulation (EC) No 1227/2000 as regards transitional arrangement concerning the financial allocations for Bulgaria and Romania for the restructuring and conversion
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine (1), and in particular Article 15 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Articles 16 and 17 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1227/2000 of 31 May 2000 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine, as regards production potential (2) lay down the rules on financing the restructuring and conversion scheme.
(2) For the 2007 financial year, funding allocations have been allocated to Bulgaria and Romania under Commission Decision 2007/381/EC of 1 June 2007 fixing, for the 2006/2007 marketing year and in respect of a certain number of hectares, an indicative financial allocation for Bulgaria and Romania for the restructuring and conversion of vineyards under Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 (3).
(3) Article 16 and 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1227/2000 provide in particular that the appropriations allocated to a Member State whose corresponding expenditure was not incurred or validated by 30 June is to be reallocated to the Member States whose incurred and validated expenditure equals the allocation awarded to them. Those Articles also provide for the amounts awarded to the Member States to be reduced for the following financial year if the expenditure incurred by them on 30 June is less than 75 % of their initial allocations.
(4) Bulgaria and Romania, for which the 2006/2007 wine year is the first year of application of the restructuring and conversion scheme, are not able to use up most of their initial allocation by 30 June. Application of Articles 16 and 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1227/2000 would result in excessive reductions in the appropriations available to those Member States for restructuring and conversion in the current and the next financial year.
(5) Therefore, on a transitional basis, for the 2006/2007 wine year, these excessive reductions are to be avoided, by way of derogation from Regulation (EC) No 1227/2000, by allowing Bulgaria and Romania to pay out, by the end of the current financial year, 90 % of their initial allocation for the 2006/2007 wine year and by exempting them from the reduction of their initial allocation in the subsequent wine year.
(6) A similar provision was introduced in 2001 and in 2005 when the vineyard restructuring and conversion scheme was first applied by the Member States concerned. As the inability of the Member States concerned to spend their initial allocation could also be due to the late publication of the decision providing for the initial allocations, the option of using up these allocations must be fixed at the same high level as in 2005.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
1. By way of derogation from Article 16(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1227/2000 and as concerns the 2007 financial year, Bulgaria and Romania may apply to the Commission, not later than 10 July 2007, for a further contribution to expenditure in the 2007 financial year above that notified to the Commission under Article 16(1)(a) and (b) of that Regulation, and up to 90 % of the financial allocation awarded to them by Decision 2007/381/EC. They may pay out, not later than 15 October 2007, 90 % of their initial allocation for the 2006/2007 wine year.
2. By way of derogation from Article 17(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1227/2000, applications for further funding sent to the Commission under Article 16(1)(c) of that Regulation by other Member States than Bulgaria and Romania shall be accepted on a pro-rata basis by using the available appropriations once the amounts for all Member States notified under Article 16(1)(a) and (b) of that Regulation and the amounts notified by Bulgaria and Romania under Article 16(1)(a), (b) of that Regulation and under paragraph 1 of this Article, have together been deducted.
3. By way of derogation from Article 17(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1227/2000 and as concerns the 2007 financial year, no reduction is applicable to Bulgaria and Romania as regards their initial allocation for the subsequent wine year.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 43 and 235 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parlia- ment (2),
Whereas agricultural products should be made available to Albania to improve the food supply to the population of that country; whereas the Community has agricultural products in storage as a result of intervention measures and these should be used in priority for the abovementioned action; whereas, for certain of these products, the necessary measures can, under the rules in force, be adopted by the Commission;
Whereas the action proposed is essentially humanitarian in its aim and should therefore also be based upon Article 235 of the Treaty;
Whereas the cost of the operation should ultimately be met from the appropriations allocated for cooperation with non-member countries;
Whereas it is a matter for the Commission to set detailed rules for application and verification of this action,
The Community shall, on the terms set out below, take emergency action to supply Albania with certain cereals.
For implementation of the emergency action:
1. the Community shall transfer free of charge to Albania a maximum of 100 000 tonnes of common wheat of bread-making quality available as a result of intervention measures;
2. delivery costs shall be met by the Community and shall be determined by tendering procedure;
3. no export refunds shall be granted for products supplied pursuant to this Regulation and the monetary compensatory amount arrangements shall not apply.
The value of the products transferred to Albania that is to be entered in the accounts shall be determined using the procedure laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2048/88 (4).
1. The Commission shall be responsible for execution of the emergency action.
2. Detailed rules for application of this Regulation shall be adopted, as necessary, using the procedure laid down in Article 26 of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3577/90 (6).

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,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in rice (2), and in particular Article 14(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provide that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of each of those Regulations and the prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 of 30 June 2005 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 as regards the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (3), specifies the products for which a rate of refund is to be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 as appropriate.
(3) In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question is to be fixed each month.
(4) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(5) Taking into account the settlement between the European Community and the United States of America on Community exports of pasta products to the United States, approved by Council Decision 87/482/EEC (4), it is necessary to differentiate the refund on goods falling within CN codes 1902 11 00 and 1902 19 according to their destination.
(6) Pursuant to Article 15(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, a reduced rate of export refund has to be fixed, taking account of the amount of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93 (5), for the basic product in question, used during the assumed period of manufacture of the goods.
(7) Spirituous beverages are considered less sensitive to the price of the cereals used in their manufacture. However, Protocol 19 of the Act of Accession of the United Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark provides that the necessary measures must be decided to facilitate the use of Community cereals in the manufacture of spirituous beverages obtained from cereals. Accordingly, it is necessary to adapt the refund rate applying to cereals exported in the form of spirituous beverages.
(8) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 and in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003, and exported in the form of goods listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 respectively, shall be fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 27 July 2007.
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 |
