Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 3223/94 of 21 December 1994 on detailed rules for the application of the import arrangements for fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular Article 4(1) thereof,
Whereas:

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the 1979 Act of Accession, and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 65 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas pursuant to the first subparagraph of Article 65 (3) of the Act of Accession, Greece is to apply the Common Customs Tariff nomenclature as from 1 January 1981 in respect of products falling within Annex II of the Treaty ; whereas, however, under the second subparagraph of Article 65 (3) Greece may be authorized to include existing national subdivisions within the Common Customs Tariff nomenclature in order to carry out progressive moves towards alignment with the Common Customs Tariff or the elimination of duties in the Community to the extent that no difficulties arise in the application of the Community rules;
Whereas for products subject to customs duties such an authorization does not create any difficulties and is justified where products falling within one subheading of the Common Customs Tariff are subject to different rates of duty ; whereas Greece should be authorized to include, in respect of the abovementioned products, national subdivisions within the Common Customs Tariff nomenclature,
In respect of products falling within Annex II of the Treaty and for which Community rules entail the application of customs duties on imports from third countries, the Hellenic Republic shall be authorized to include within the Common Customs Tariff nomenclature any national subdivisions which are indispensable for carrying out the progressive moves towards alignment with the Tariff or the elimination of duties in the Community under the conditions laid down in the Act of Accession.

| Council Decision
of 17 December 2001
concerning the conclusion of a Framework Agreement between the European Community and the Republic of Turkey on the general principles for the participation of the Republic of Turkey in Community programmes
(2002/179/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 13, 61, 95, 129, 137, 149(4), 150(4), 151(5), 152(4), 153(4), 156, 157, 166, 175(1) and 308, in conjunction with the second sentence of the first subparagraph of Article 300(2), the second subparagraph of Article 300(3), and Article 300(4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the assent of the European Parliament(2),
Whereas:
(1) The Resolution of the EU-Turkey Association Council of 6 March 1995 looked forward to initiatives being taken in a number of fields to broaden the scope of EU-Turkey cooperation, including possible participation in certain Community programmes.
(2) The European Council in Luxembourg in December 1997 made participation in the Community programmes a way of stepping-up the enhanced pre-accession strategy for candidate countries, such participation being determined case-by-case. At the same time, a European Strategy for the Republic of Turkey was established which allowed the same possibility for that country. Following the European Council meetings in Helsinki in December 1999 and, in particular, in Nice in December 2000, the case-by-case approach in this field could be shifted to a more far-reaching one embracing most of the Community programmes.
(3) The Helsinki European Council stated that the Republic of Turkey is a candidate country destined to join the Union on the basis of the same criteria applied to the other candidate countries, and that, building on the existing European Strategy, the Republic of Turkey, like other candidate States, will benefit from a pre-accession strategy to stimulate and support its reforms and that the Republic of Turkey will also have the opportunity to participate in Community programmes and agencies and in meetings between candidate countries and the Union in the context of the accession process.
(4) In accordance with the negotiating directives adopted by the Council on 5 June 2001, the Commission has negotiated on behalf of the Community a Framework Agreement with the Republic of Turkey on the general principles for its participation in Community programmes.
(5) With regard to some of the programmes covered by the Agreement, the Treaty provides for no powers other than those under Article 308.
(6) The specific terms and conditions regarding the participation of the Republic of Turkey in the Community programmes, in particular the financial contribution payable, should be determined by the Commission on behalf of the Community. For that purpose the Commission should be assisted by a special committee appointed by the Council.
(7) The Republic of Turkey may apply for financial assistance for participation in Community programmes under Council Regulation (EC) No 1488/96 of 23 July 1996 on financial and technical measures to accompany (MEDA) the form of economic and social structures in the framework of the Euro-Mediterranean partnership(3), under Council Regulation (EC) No 764/2000 of 10 April 2000 regarding the implementation of measures to intensify the EC-Turkey Customs Union(4), or under Regulation (EC) No 257/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 January 2001 regarding the implementation of measures to promote economic and social development in Turkey(5).
(8) Denmark, in accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of the Protocol on the position of Denmark annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the EC Treaty, is not participating in the part of this Council decision adopted with reference to Title IV of the EC Treaty, and Denmark is not bound by this part of this Council decision nor subject to its application.
(9) The United Kingdom and Ireland intend to participate in the adoption of the Council Regulation establishing a general framework for Community activities to facilitate the implementation of a European judicial area in civil matters and when it is adopted, the United Kingdom and Ireland will be bound by it and subject to its application. In respect of any future Community instrument adopted under Title IV of the EC Treaty, implementing or establishing any future Community programme, the United Kingdom and Ireland will only be bound by the part relating to Title IV of the EC Treaty of this Council decision and subject to its application, if the United Kingdom and Ireland are bound by that instrument in accordance with the Protocol on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the EC Treaty.
(10) The Agreement should be reviewed by the Commission at regular intervals.
(11) The Agreement should be approved,
The Framework Agreement between the European Community and the Republic of Turkey on the general principles for the participation of the Republic of Turkey in Community programmes, is hereby approved on behalf of the Community.
The text of the Agreement is attached to this Decision.
1. The Commission is authorised to determine, on behalf of the Community, the specific terms and conditions regarding the participation of the Republic of Turkey in each individual programme, including the financial contribution payable. The Commission shall be assisted in this task by a special committee appointed by the Council.
2. Where the Republic of Turkey requests external assistance, the procedures provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1488/96, in Regulation (EC) No 764/2000, in Regulation (EC) No 257/2001, and in similar Regulations providing for Community external assistance to the Republic of Turkey that may be adopted in the future, shall apply.
No later than three years after the date of entry into force of the Agreement, and every three years thereafter, the Commission shall review the implementation of the Agreement and report thereon to the Council. The report shall be accompanied, where necessary, by appropriate proposals.
The President of the Council is authorised to designate the person(s) empowered to sign the Agreement in order to bind the Community.
The President of the Council shall, on behalf of the Community, give the notifications provided for in Article 9 of the Agreement(6). | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3381/89
of 6 November 1989
liberalizing the specific quantitative restrictions with regard to Poland and Hungary and amending Regulation (EEC) No 3420/83 accordingly
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3420/83 of 14 November 1983 on import arrangements for products originating in State-trading countries, not liberalized at Community level (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2773/87 (2), applies to imports of products originating from, among other countries, Poland and Hungary;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/82 of 30 June 1982 on common rules for imports from State-trading countries (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1243/86 (4), lays down that imports of the products covered by the Annex to that Regulation are not subject to any quantitative restriction;
Whereas the economic situation in Poland and Hungary has deteriorated with increasing rapidity over the last few years with the result that undertakings in those countries have become markedly less competitive; whereas, in response to this situation and the challenge it presents, the Council approved an action plan proposed by the Commission for coordinating aid from the Community and the Western countries to these two countries, one component of this plan being intended to provide help in modernizing their economic structures, notably by increasing exports;
Whereas, in order to attain this objective, it is crucial to remove as quickly as possible the quantitative restrictions which are referred to in Articles 3 (a) and 4 (a) respectively of the accession protocols of Poland and Hungary to GATT and to which the placing in free circulation within the Community of certain products originating in the countries concerned is subject; whereas, therefore, the restrictions should be removed from 1 January 1990;
Whereas, with the exception of products covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1765/82, the placing in free circulation within the Community of products originating in Poland and Hungary has hitherto fallen within the scope of Regulation (EEC) No 3420/83; whereas, from 1 January 1990, by the removal of the quantitative restrictions referred to above, the position of these two countries, as regards the existence of restrictions, will be aligned on that of the countries for which the placing of products in free circulation within the Community falls within the scope of Council Regulation (EEC) No 288/82 of 5 February 1982 on common rules for imports (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3982/86 (6); whereas, however, with regard to the adoption of safeguard measures, it is appropriate, in accordance with Article 1 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3420/83, to observe the relevant provisions of the trade and cooperation agreements between the Community and Hungary (7) and between the Community and Poland (8), signed on 26 September 1988 and 19 September 1989 respectively,
The following sentence is added to Article 2 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3420/83:
'However, the only quantitative restrictions which the Member States may maintain with regard to Hungary and Poland are the restrictions on the products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 288/82.'
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 January 1990.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas, by Commission Decision 93/242/EEC (6), additional guarantees were introduced for the importation into the Community of certain live animals and their products originating in certain eastern European countries;
Whereas the conditions for export to the Community of live animals of the bovine, caprine, ovine, porcine and other biungulate species and certain of their products apply only to those countries which have given certain written guarantees acceptable to the Commission; whereas these countries were listed in Annex B to Decision 93/242/EEC;
Whereas other countries listed in Annex A to Decision 93/242/EEC are prohibited from exporting or transiting live animals and exporting meat except as a heat treated product to the Community;
Whereas the Community has received acceptable written guarantees from some of the countries listed in Annex A; whereas these countries can now be listed in Annex B and be permitted to export certain live animals and their products to the Community under the procedure of Chapter II of the said Decision;

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 of 26 June 1990 laying down a Community procedure for the establishment of maximum residue limits of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 281/96 (2), and in particular Articles 6, 7 and 8 thereof,
Whereas, in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90, maximum residue limits must be established progressively for all pharmacologically active substances which are used within the Community in veterinary medicinal products intended for administration to food-producing animals;
Whereas maximum residue limits should be established only after the examination within the Committee for Veterinary Medicinal Products of all the relevant information concerning the safety of residues of the substance concerned for the consumer of foodstuffs of animal origin and the impact of residues on the industrial processing of foodstuffs;
Whereas, in establishing maximum residue limits for residues of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin, it is necessary to specify the animal species in which residues may be present, the levels which may be present in each of the relevant meat tissues obtained from the treated animal (target tissue) and the nature of the residue which is relevant for the monitoring of residues (marker residue);
Whereas, for the control of residues, as provided for in appropriate Community legislation, maximum residue limits should usually be established for the target tissues of liver or kidney; whereas, however, the liver and kidney are frequently removed from carcases moving in international trade, and maximum residue limits should therefore also always be established for muscle or fat tissues;
Whereas, in the case of veterinary medicinal products intended for use in laying birds, lactating animals or honey bees, maximum residue limits must also be established for eggs, milk or honey;
Whereas cefquinome should be inserted into Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
Whereas buserelin, ketoprofen, caffeine, theophylline and theobromine should be inserted into Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
Whereas, in order to allow for the completion of scientific studies, josamycin, decoquinate and colistin should be inserted into Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
Whereas a period of 60 days should be allowed before the entry into force of this Regulation in order to allow Member States to make any adjustment which may be necessary to the authorizations to place the veterinary medicinal products concerned on the market which have been granted in accordance with Council Directive 81/851/EEC (3), as last amended by Directive 93/40/EEC (4), to take account of the provisions of this Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,
Annexes I, II and III to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 are hereby amended as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 60th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the auåthorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.
(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of sodium benzoate. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) The application concerns the authorisation of sodium benzoate as a feed additive for weaned piglets, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.
(4) The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinion of 1 February 2011 (2) that the substance set out in the Annex, under the proposed conditions of use, does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that this additive has shown a significant benefit in terms of a final body weight and an improvement in efficiency of feed conversion of the target species. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5) The assessment of the substance shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of this substance should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

COMMISSION DECISION
of 24 March 2011
amending Decision 2010/221/EU as regards the approval of national measures for preventing the introduction of ostreid herpesvirus 1 μνar (OsHV-1 μνar) into certain areas of Ireland and the United Kingdom
(notified under document C(2011) 1825)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2011/187/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2006/88/EC of 24 October 2006 on animal health requirements for aquaculture animals and products thereof, and on the prevention and control of certain diseases in aquatic animals (1), and in particular Article 43(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2010/221/EU of 15 April 2010 approving national measures for limiting the impact of certain diseases in aquaculture animals and wild aquatic animals in accordance with Article 43 of Council Directive 2006/88/EC (2) allows certain Member States to apply placing on the market and import restrictions on consignments of those animals in order to prevent the introduction of certain diseases into their territory, provided that they have either demonstrated that their territory, or certain demarcated areas of their territory, are free of such diseases or that they have established an eradication programme to obtain such freedom.
(2) Since 2008, increased mortality in Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) has occurred in several areas in Ireland, France and the United Kingdom. The epidemiological investigations undertaken in 2009 suggested that a newly described strain of ostreid herpesvirus-1 (OsHV-1), namely OsHV-1 μνar, played a major role in the increased mortality.
(3) Commission Regulation (EU) No 175/2010 of 2 March 2010 implementing Council Directive 2006/88/EC as regards measures to control increased mortality in oysters of the species Crassostrea gigas in connection with the detection of Ostreid herpesvirus 1 μνar (OsHV-1 μνar) (3) was adopted with the aim of preventing the further spread of OsHV-1 μνar. It introduced measures to control the spread of that disease and it applies until 30 April 2011.
(4) On 27 October 2010, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) adopted a scientific opinion on the increased mortality events in Pacific oysters, Crassostrea gigas
(4) (the EFSA opinion). In that opinion, the EFSA concludes that OsHV-1, both the reference strain and the new μ variant (μνar) of that oyster herpesvirus, have been associated with high levels of mortality in Pacific oysters spat and juveniles and that available evidence suggests that an infection with OsHV-1 is a necessary cause but may not be sufficient by itself as other factors appear to be important. The EFSA opinion further concludes that OsHV-1 μνar seems to be the dominant viral strain in the 2008-2010 increased mortality outbreaks although it is not clear if this is a result of increased virulence or other epidemiological factors.
(5) In 2010, Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom established programmes for the early detection of OsHV-1 μνar and applied the relevant movement restrictions provided for in Regulation (EU) No 175/2010. The outcome of the surveillance undertaken by those Member States in the framework of those programmes suggests that parts of the Union are free of OsHV-1 μνar.
(6) Ireland and the United Kingdom have submitted to the Commission surveillance programmes for approval in accordance with Directive 2006/88/EC (the surveillance programmes). The surveillance programmes aim to demonstrate that the areas where OsHV-1 μνar has not been detected are free of that virus and to prevent its introduction into those areas.
(7) Under the surveillance programmes, Ireland and the United Kingdom would apply basic biosecurity measures against OsHV-1 μνar which are equivalent to those laid down in Directive 2006/88/EC and targeted surveillance. In addition, they would apply restrictions on the movement of Pacific oysters into all areas covered by the surveillance programmes.
(8) The movement restrictions set out in the surveillance programmes would be limited to Pacific oysters intended for farming and relaying areas, and for dispatch centres, purification centres or similar businesses that are not equipped with effluent treatment systems which reduce the risk of transmitting diseases to the natural waters to an acceptable level.
(9) The conclusions of the EFSA opinion and the epidemiological data from 2010 suggest that the spread of OsHV-1 μνar into virus free areas is likely to cause increased mortality and subsequent high losses to the Pacific oyster industry.
(10) Consequently, it is appropriate to apply restrictions on the movement of Pacific oysters into areas covered by the surveillance programmes in order to prevent the introduction of OsHV-1 μνar into those areas. For reasons of clarity and simplification of Union legislation, the respective placing on the market requirements are to be included in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008 of 12 December 2008 implementing Council Directive 2006/88/EC as regards conditions and certification requirements for the placing on the market and the import into the Community of aquaculture animals and products thereof and laying down a list of vector species (5).
(11) The surveillance programmes should therefore be approved.
(12) As OsHV-1 μνar is an emerging disease, concerning which there are still many uncertainties, the movement restrictions set out in the surveillance programmes approved by this Decision should be reassessed and their appropriateness and necessity should be re-evaluated in due course. Therefore, the placing on the market requirements provided for in this Decision should apply only for a limited period of time. Additionally, Ireland and the United Kingdom should send annual reports to the Commission on the functioning of the movement restrictions and the surveillance undertaken.
(13) Any suspicion of the presence of OsHV-1 μνar in areas covered by the surveillance programmes should be investigated and during the investigation certain movement restrictions as provided for in Directive 2006/88/EC should be applied to protect other Member States with approved national measures as regards OsHV-1 μνar. In addition, to facilitate the re-assessment of the approved national measures, any subsequent disease confirmation should be notified to the Commission and to the other Member States.
(14) Decision 2010/221/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.
(15) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Decision 2010/221/EU is amended as follows:
1. Article 1 is replaced by the following:
2. the following Article 3a is inserted:
(a) consignments of Pacific oysters intended for farming and relaying areas must comply with the placing on the market requirements laid down in Article 8a of Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008;
(b) consignments of Pacific oysters must comply with the placing on the market requirements laid down in Article 8b of Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008 where such consignments are intended for dispatch centres, purification centres or similar businesses before human consumption which are not equipped with an effluent treatment system validated by the competent authority that:
(i) inactivates enveloped viruses; or
(ii) reduces the risk of transmitting diseases to the natural waters to an acceptable level.’;
3. Article 4 is replaced by the following:
(a) significant risks for the animal health situation of aquaculture animals or wild aquatic animals posed by the diseases, for which the national measures apply, and the necessity and appropriateness of those measures;
(b) national measures taken to maintain the disease-free status, including any testing that has been carried out; information concerning such testing must be provided using the model form set out in Annex VI to Commission Decision 2009/177/EC (6);
(c) the evolution of the eradication or surveillance programme, including any testing that has been carried out; information concerning such testing must be provided using the model form set out in Annex VI to Decision 2009/177/EC.
4. the following Article 5a is inserted:
5. a new Annex III is added, the text of which is set out in the Annex to this Decision.

of 23 December 1988
accepting an undertaking relating to the anti-dumping proceeding concerning certain plain paper photocopiers assembled or produced in the Community by Konica Business Machines Manufacturing GmbH
(89/116/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 13 (10) thereof,
After consultations within the Advisory Committee as provided for under the abovementioned Regulation,
Whereas:
A. Procedure
(1) In January 1988, the Commission received a complaint lodged by Cecom, the Committee of European Copier Manufacturers, on behalf of producers of plain paper photocopiers (PPCs) whose collective output constitutes a major proportion of Community production of the product in question. The complaint contained sufficient evidence that following the opening of the investigation on PPCs originating in Japan (2), a number of companies were assembling PPCs in the Community under the conditions referred to in Article 13 (10) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88. After consultation, the Commission accordingly announced, by notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (3), the initiation of an investigation, under Article 13 (10) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 concerning PPCs assembled in the Community by the following companies related to or associated with the Japanese manufacturers whose imports of PPCs to the Community are subject to a definitive anti-dumping duty:
- Canon Bretagne SA (France),
- Canon Glessen GmbH (Germany),
- Firma Develop Dr Eisbein GmbH (Germany),
- Konica Business Machines Manufacturing GmbH (Germany),
- Matsushita Business Machine (Europe) GmbH (Germany),
- Olivetti-Canon Industriale SpA (Italy),
- Ricoh (UK) Products Ltd (United Kingdom),
- Sharp Electronics (UK) Ltd (United Kingdom),
- Toshiba Systèmes (France) SA (France).
B. Results of the investigation
(2) The investigation showed that Sharp Electronics (UK) Ltd had not assembled or produced PPCs in the Community during the investigation period and that Canon Glessen GmbH and Olivetti-Canon SpA had reached the required 40 % of non-Japanese parts during that period. Accordingly, the relevant anti-dumping duties were not extended to PPCs assembled in the Community by these companies. In addition, Canon Bretagne SA, Firma Develop Dr Eisbein GmbH and Ricoh (UK) Products Ltd offered undertakings during the course of the proceeding which were accepted by Commission Decision 88/519/EEC (4).
(3) For all other companies investigated, and after taking into consideration the circumstances of each case, Council Regulation (EEC) No 3205/88 (5) extended the anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 535/87 (6) to certain PPCs assembled in the Community by these companies.
C. Undertaking
(4) Subsequently, Matsushita Business Machine Europe GmbH and Toshiba Systèmes (France) SA offered undertakings which were accepted by the Commission (7) and Regulation (EEC) No 3205/88 was appopriately amended (8). Konica Business Machines Manufacturing GmbH has now also offered an undertaking. The Commission verfied, at the premises of the company concerned, that this undertaking removed the conditions justifying the extension by Regulation (EEC) No 3205/88 of the anti-dumping duty to PPCs assembled in the Community. In the light of the undertaking offered and of the results of the verification and after
consultation, the Commission is satisfied that the changes in the sourcing of parts and materials, the assurances regarding future sourcing and other aspects of this company's assembly or production operation in the Community are sufficient for the undertaking to be accepted.
(5) The Council has therefore repealed Regulation (EEC) No 3205/88 which extended the duty to products assembled or produced in the Community by, inter alia, Konica Business Machines Manufacturing GmbH,
The undertaking offered by Konica Business Machines Manufacturing GmbH in connection with plain paper photocopiers incorporating an optical system (falling within CN codes ex 9009 11 00, ex 9009 12 00 and ex 9009 21 00) introduced into the commerce of the Community after having been assembled in the Community by Konica Business Machines Manufacturing GmbH is hereby accepted. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas in Annex VIII to Council Regulation (EEC) No 833/76 of 5 April 1976 fixing certain prices and other amounts applicable in agriculture for the 1976/77 marketing year (3), the amount of aid for seeds was fixed at different levels for Lolium perenne L. of high persistence, late or medium late, for Lolium perenne L. of low persistence, medium late, medium early or early, and for the new and other varieties of Lolium perenne L.;
Whereas in order to ensure uniform application throughout the Community of the procedures for granting aid, the different varieties of Lolium perenne L. must be defined and the list of the varieties of high persistence, late or medium late and of these varieties of low persistence, medium late, medium early or early, must be established;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to repeal Commission Regulation (EEC) No 964/75 of 11 April 1975 specifying the varieties of Lolium perenne L. to be regarded as "late", "medium late", and "early" (4);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Seeds,
Varieties of Lolium perenne L. shall, within the meaning of the provisions adopted in implementation of Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71, be classified as "of high persistence, late or medium late", and as "of low persistence, medium late, medium early or early", by reference to the lists set out in the Annexes to this Regulation.
Regulation (EEC) No 964/75 is hereby repealed.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 (3), laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75, and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 21 March 1981, Italy 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 "ETEC-Autoscan scanning electron microscope", to be used in particular for the submicroscopic study of the surfaces of samples of animal and vegetable tissues, micro-organisms, minerals and processed metals, 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 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 an electron microscope;

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 of 26 June 1990 laying down a Community procedure for the establishment of maximum residue limits of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin (1), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Medicines Agency formulated by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use,
Whereas:
(1) All pharmacologically active substances used in the Community in veterinary medicinal products intended for food-producing animals should be evaluated in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90.
(2) The substance diclofenac is included in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 for bovine species, as regards muscle, fat, liver and kidney tissues, excluding animals producing milk for human consumption. A request has been made to the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use to consider whether the existing entry for diclofenac, for bovine species in that Annex should be extended to include maximum residue limits applicable to milk. Following examination of the request, it is considered appropriate to amend the existing entry for diclofenac in Annex I for bovine species to include the established maximum residue limits applicable to milk.
(3) Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) It is necessary to provide for an adequate period before this Regulation becomes applicable, in order to enable the Member States to make any necessary adjustments with respect to the existing authorisations to place the veterinary medicinal products concerned which have been granted in accordance with Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 November 2001 on the Community Code relating to veterinary medicinal products (2) on the market.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,

| COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1430/90
of 29 May 1990
laying down detailed rules governing the grant of private storage aid for Kefalotyri and Kasseri cheeses
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 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 3879/89 (2) and in particular Articles 9 (3) and 28 thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 508/71 of 8 March 1971 laying down general rules on private storage aid for long-keeping cheeses (3) permits the granting of private storage aid for sheep's-milk cheeses requiring at least six months for maturing where a serious market imbalance could be eliminated or reduced by seasonal storage;
Whereas the market in Kefalotyri and Kasseri cheeses is at present disturbed by the existence of stocks which are difficult to sell and which are causing a lowering of prices; whereas seasonal storage should therefore be introduced for these quantities to improve the situation and allow producers time to find outlets for their cheese;
Whereas the detailed rules for the application of such measures should essentially be the same as those laid down for similar measures during previous years;
Whereas experience shows that provisions on checks should be laid down, particularly as regards the documents to be submitted and checks to be made on the spot; whereas, therefore, it should be provided that Member States require the costs of checks be fully or partly borne by the contractor;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk products,
Aid shall be granted in respect of the private storage of 4 000 tonnes of Kefalotyri and Kasseri cheeses made from Community-produced ewes' milk and satisfying the requirements of Articles 2 and 3.
1. The intervention agency shall conclude storage contracts only when the following conditions are met:
(a) the quantity of cheese to which the contract relates is not less than two tonnes;
(b) the cheese was manufactured at least 90 days before the date specified in the contract as being the date of commencement of storage, and after 30 November 1989;
(c) the cheese has undergone tests which show that it meets the condition laid down in (b) and that it is of first quality;
(d) the storer undertakes:
- to keep the cheese during the entire period of storage in premises where the maximum temperature is + 16° C,
- not, during the term of the contract, to alter the composition of the batch which is the subject of the contract without authorization from the intervention agency. If the condition concerning the minimum quantity fixed for each batch continues to be met, the intervention agency may authorize an alteration which is limited to the removal or replacement of cheeses which are found to have deteriorated to such an extent that they can no longer be stored.
In the event of release from store of certain quantities:
(i) if the aforesaid quantities are replaced with the authorization of the intervention agency, the contract is deemed not to have undergone any alteration,
(ii) if the aforesaid quantities are not replaced, the contract is deemed to have been concluded ab initio for the quantity permanently retained.
Any supervisory costs arising from an alteration shall be met by the storer,
- to keep stock accounts and to inform the intervention agency each week of the quantity of cheese put into storage during the previous week, and of any planned withdrawals.
2. The storage contract shall be concluded:
(a) in writing, stating the date when storage covered by the contract begins; this may not be earlier than the day following that on which the operations connected with putting the batch of cheese covered by the contract into storage were completed;
(b) after completion by the operations connected with putting the batch of cheese covered by the contract into storage and at the latest 40 days after the date on which the storage covered by the contract begins.
1. Aid shall be granted only for cheese put into storage during the period 15 May to 30 November 1990.
2. No aid shall be granted in respect of storage under contract for less than 60 days.
3. The aid payable may not exceed an amount corresponding to 150 days' storage under contract terminating before 31 March 1991. By way of derogation from the second indent of Article 2 (1) (d), when the period of 60 days specified in paragraph 2 has elapsed, the storer may remove all or part of the batch under contract. The minimum quantity that may be removed shall be 500 kilograms. The Member States may, however, increase this quantity to two tonnes.
The date of the start of operations to remove cheese covered by the contract shall not be included in the period of storage under contract.
1. The amount of aid shall be ECU 2,28 per tonne per day.
2. The amount of aid in ecus in relation to a storage contract shall be that applying on the first day of storage under contract. It shall be converted into national currency at the representative rate applicable on the last day of storage under contract.
3. Aid shall be paid not later than 90 days from the last day of storage under contract.
The periods, dates and time limits mentioned in this Regulation shall be determined in accordance with Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1182/71 (1). However, Article 3 (4) of that Regulation shall not apply for determination of the duration of storage under contract.
1. The Member States shall ensure that the conditions granting entitlement to payment of the aid are fulfilled.
2. The contractor shall make available to the national authorities responsible for verifying execution of the measure any documentation permitting in particular the following particulars of products placed in private storage to be verified:
(a) ownership at the time of entry into storage;
(b) the origin and date of manufacture of the cheeses;
(c) the date of entry into storage;
(d) presence in the store;
(e) the date of removal from storage.
3. The contractor or, where applicable, the operator of the store shall keep sock accounts available at the store, covering:
(a) identification, by contract number, of the products placed in private storage;
(b) the dates of entry into and removal from storage;
(c) the number of cheeses and their weight shown for each lot;
(d) the location of the products in the store.
4. Products stored must be easily identifiable and must be identified individually by contract.
A special mark shall be affixed to cheeses covered by contract.
5. Without prejudice to Article 2 (1) (d), on entry into storage, the competent bodies shall conduct checks in particular to ensure that products stored are eligible for the aid and to prevent any possibility of substitution of products during storage under contract.
6. The national authorities responsible for controls shall undertake:
(a) an unannounced check to see that the products are present in the store. The sample concerned must be representative and must correspond to at least 10 % of the overall quantity under contract for a private storage aid measure. Such checks must include, in addition to an examination of the accounts referred to in paragraph 3, a physical check of the weight and type of product and their identification. Such physical checks must relate to at least 5 % of the quantity subject to the unannounced check;
(b) a check to see that the products are present at the end of the storage period under contract.
7. Checks conducted pursuant to paragraphs 5 and 6 must be the subject of a report stating:
- the date of the check,
- its duration,
- the operations conducted.
The report on checks must be signed by the official responsible and contersigned by the contractor or, where applicable, by the store operator. 8. In the case of irregularities affecting at least 5 % of the quantities of products subject to the checks the latter shall be extended to a larger sample to be determined by the competent body.
The Member States shall notify such cases to the Commission within four weeks.
9. The Member States may provide that the costs of checks will be borne partly or fully by the contractor.
Member States shall communicate to the Commission on or before the Tuesday of each week:
(a) the quantity of cheese for which storage contracts have been concluded during the previous week;

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 15 May 1990.

Whereas the equivalent value of the ECU in certain national currencies on 1 October 1984 was less than the corresponding value on 1 October 1980; whereas the automatic change in the base date would, in the case of conversion into the national currencies concerned, have the effect of reducing the limits which permit the presentation of simplified documentary evidence; whereas, in order to avoid this effect, it is necessary to increase such limits expressed in ECU,

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 990/2012
of 25 October 2012
concerning the authorisation of a preparation of Propionibacterium acidipropionici (CNCM MA 26/4U) as a feed additive for all animal species
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation. Article 10(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 10(1) to (4) thereof sets out specific provisions for the evaluation of products used in the Union as silage additives at the date that Regulation became applicable.
(2) In accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, a preparation of Propionibacterium acidipropionici (CNCM MA 26/4U), hereinafter ‘the preparation’, was entered in the Community Register of Feed Additives as an existing product belonging to the functional group of silage additives, for all animal species.
(3) In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 thereof, an application was submitted for the authorisation of the preparation as a feed additive for all animal species, requesting that additive to be classified in the category ‘technological additives’ and in the functional group ‘silage additives’. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(4) The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinion of 25 April 2012 (2) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that the use of the preparation has the potential to improve the aerobic stability of the treated silage. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5) The assessment of the preparation shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of the preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(6) Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of authorisation, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the authorisation.
(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,
Authorisation
The preparation specified in the Annex belonging to the additive category ‘technological additives’ and to the functional group ‘silage additives’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Transitional measures
The preparation specified in the Annex and feed containing that preparation, which are produced and labelled before 15 May 2013 in accordance with the rules applicable before 15 November 2012 may continue to be placed on the market and used until the existing stocks are exhausted.
Entry into force
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3653 (2), and in particular Article 16 (6) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 of 28 April 1981 laying down general rules for granting refunds adjusted in the case of cereals exported in the form of certain spirituous beverages and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds and amending Regulation (EEC) No 3035/80 concerning certain products not covered by Annex II to the Treaty (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3708/89 (4), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Whereas Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 states that the quantity of cereals on which the refund shall be granted shall be that placed under control weighted by a coefficient, fixed annually for each Member State concerned, expressing the ratio for the spirituous beverage in question between the total quantity exported and the total quantity marketed; whereas, further to information provided by Ireland concerning the period 1 January to 31 December 1990, the coefficients for the period 1 July 1991 to 30 June 1992 should now be fixed;
Whereas the second indent of Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 provides for adjustment of the coefficient where foreseeable trends for exports of spirituous beverages show a tendency to change significantly in one of the Member States concerned; whereas such an assessment may be made by taking account of a reference period of sufficient length to eliminate insignificant short-term fluctuations; whereas a period of six years prior to the year in question seems to comply with this criterion; whereas, moreover, an annual difference of less than 1 % between the respective trends in exports and total quantities sold cannot show a tendency towards significant change;
Whereas the coefficients should be adapted accordingly, to take account of a tendency for Irish exports to increase;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
For the period 1 July 1991 to 30 June 1992, the coefficients referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 and applicable to cereals used in Ireland for the manufacture of Irish whiskey shall be as shown in the Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 July 1991. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 520/94 of 7 March 1994 establishing a Community procedure for administering quantitative quotas (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 138/96 (2), and in particular Articles 2 (3) and (4) and Articles 13 and 24 thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 519/94 of 7 March 1994 on common rules for imports from certain third countries and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 1765/82, (EEC) No 1766/82 and (EEC) No 3420/83 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 752/96 (4), introduced annual quantitative quotas for certain products originating in the People's Republic of China listed in Annex II to that Regulation; whereas the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 520/94 are applicable to those quotas;
Whereas the Commission accordingly adopted Regulation (EC) No 738/94 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 983/96 (6), laying down general rules for the implementation of Regulation (EC) 520/94; whereas these provisions apply to the administration of the above quotas subject to the provisions of this Regulation;
Whereas certain characteristics of China's economy, the seasonal nature of some of the products and the time needed for transport mean that orders for products subject to quota are generally placed before the beginning of the quota year; whereas it is therefore important to ensure that administrative constraints do not impede the realization of the planned imports; whereas in order not to affect the continuity of trade flows, the arrangements for allocating and administering the 1997 quotas should accordingly be adopted before the start of the quota year;
Whereas after examination of the different administrative methods provided for by Regulation (EC) No 520/94, the method based on traditional trade flows should be adopted; whereas under this method quota tranches are divided into two portions, one of which is reserved for traditional importers and the other for other applicants;
Whereas this has proved to be the best way of ensuring the continuity of business for the Community importers concerned and avoiding any disturbance of trade flows;
Whereas, however, the introduction of a Community system must ensure progressive access by non-traditional importers; whereas in the light of all these factors a balance must therefore be sought in determining the portions to be allocated to the two categories of importers;
Whereas the reference period used for allocating the portion of the quota set aside for traditional importers in earlier Regulations on the administration of these quotas should be updated to ensure open access to the quotas; whereas that update should be based on the latest period for which complete data is available; whereas the year 1994 is therefore a suitable reference period, it being the only recent representative year of the normal trend of trade flows in the products in question for which full customs data are available; whereas traditional importers must therefore prove that they have imported products originating in China and covered by the quotas in question in the year 1994;
Whereas it is necessary to simplify the formalities to be fulfilled by traditional importers who already hold import licences issued when the 1996 Community quotas or unused 1995 quantities were allocated; whereas the competent administrative authorities already possess the requisite evidence of 1994 imports for all traditional importers; whereas these importers need only enclose a copy of their previous licences with their new licence applications;
Whereas it has been found in the past that the method provided for in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94, which is based on the order in which applications are received, may not be an appropriate way of allocating that portion of the quota reserved for non-traditional importers; whereas, consequently, in accordance with Article 2 (4) of Regulation (EC) No 520/94, an alternative method of apportioning the quota should be determined; whereas, to this end, it is appropriate to provide for allocation in proportion to the quantities requested, on the basis of a simultaneous examination of import licence applications actually lodged, in accordance with Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94;
Whereas in order to ensure that the quotas can be efficiently allocated and used, any speculative applications should be excluded, and it is furthermore necessary to allocate economically significant quantities; whereas to this end the amount that any non-traditional importer may request should be restricted to a set volume or value;
Whereas for the purposes of quota allocation, a time limit must be set for the submission of licence applications by traditional and other importers;
Whereas with a view to optimum use of quotas, licence applications for imports of footwear under quotas which refer to several CN codes must specify the quantities required for each code;
Whereas the Member States must inform the Commission of the import licence applications received, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94; whereas the information about traditional importers' previous imports must be expressed in the same units as the quota in question; whereas if the quota is set in ecus, the counter-value of the currency in which previous imports are expressed must be calculated in accordance with Article 18 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (7);
Whereas in view of the special nature of transactions concerning products subject to quota, and in particular the time needed for transport, the import licences should expire on 31 December 1997;
Whereas these measures are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the administration of quotas set up under Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94,
This Regulation lays down for 1997 specific provisions for the administration of the quantitative quotas referred to in Annex II to Council Regulation (EC) No 519/94.
Regulation (EC) No 738/94 laying down general rules for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 520/94 shall apply, subject to the specific provisions of this Regulation.
1. The quantitative quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be allocated using the method based on traditional trade flows, referred to in Article 2 (2) (a) of Regulation (EC) No 520/94.
2. The portions of the each quantitative quota set aside for traditional importers and other importers are set out in Annex I to this Regulation.
3. The portion set aside for non-traditional importers shall be apportioned using the method based on allocation in proportion to quantities requested; the volume/value requested by a single importer may not exceed that shown in Annex II.
Applications for import licences shall be lodged with the competent authorities listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 738/94 from the day following the day of publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Communities until 3 p.m., Brussels time, on 27 July 1996.
1. For the purposes of allocating the portion of each quota set aside for traditional importers, 'traditional` importers shall mean importers who can show that they have imported goods in the calendar year 1994.
2. The supporting documents referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94 shall relate to the release for free circulation during the calendar year 1994 of products originating in the People's Republic of China which are covered by the quota in respect of which the application is made.
3. Instead of the documents referred to in the first indent of Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94;
- applicants may enclose with their licence applications documents drawn up and certified by the competent national authorities on the basis of available customs information as evidence of the imports of the product in question during the calendar year 1994 carried out by themselves or, where applicable, by the operator whose activities they have taken over,
- applicants already holding import licences issued in 1996 under Commission Regulation (EC) No 2319/95 (8) or (EC) No 899/96 (9) for products covered by the licence application may enclose a copy of their previous licences with their licence applications. In that case they shall indicate in their licence application the aggregate value of imports of the product in question in 1994.
4. Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 shall apply where supporting documents are expressed in foreign currency.
Member States shall inform the Commission no later than 14 August 1996 at 10 a.m., Brussels time, of the number and aggregate quantity of import licence applications and, in the case of applications from traditional importers, of the volume of previous imports carried out by traditional importers during the reference period referred to in Article 4 (1) of this Regulation.
The Commission shall adopt the quantitative criteria to be used by the competent national authorities for the purpose of meeting importers' applications no later than 18 August 1996.
Import licences shall be valid for one year, starting on 1 January 1997.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

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

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, under the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the United States of America for the conclusion of negotiations under GATT Article XXIV.6, as approved by the Council Decision of 30 January 1987, the Community undertook, for the period 1987 to 1990, to increase annually by 50 000 m3 the volume of the Community tariff quota for certain plywood of coniferous species falling within heading No ex 44.15 of the Common Customs Tariff; whereas, therefore, the Community tariff quota opened by Regulation (EEC) No 3741/86 (1) for these products should be increased by the aforesaid amount in 1987; whereas, in order to safeguard the Community character of the quota in question, the whole volume of the proposed increase should be allocated to the Community reserve,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 of 13 February 1993 on the common organisation of the market in bananas(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2587/2001(2), and in particular Article 20 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 14(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 896/2001 of 7 May 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 as regards the arrangements for importing bananas into the Community(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 349/2002(4), provides for the possibility of fixing an indicative quantity, expressed as the same percentage of quantities available under each of the tariff quotas, for the purposes of issuing import licences for the first three quarters of the year.
(2) The data relating, on the one hand, to the quantities of bananas marketed in the Community in 2001, and in particular actual imports, especially during the third quarter, and, on the other hand, to the outlook for supply and consumption on the Community market in the same quarter of 2002 call for the fixing of indicative quantities for quotas A, B and C that ensure satisfactory supply to the Community as a whole and continuity of trade flows between the production and marketing sectors.
(3) On the basis of the same data, the ceiling on the quantities for which individual operators can submit licence applications in respect of the third quarter of 2002 should be fixed for the purposes of Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 896/2001.
(4) Since this Regulation must apply before the beginning of the period for the submission of licence applications in respect of the third quarter of 2002, it should enter into force immediately.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Bananas,
The indicative quantity provided for in Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 896/2001 for banana imports under the tariff quotas provided for in Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 shall be equal to 23 % of the quantities available for traditional and non-traditional operators under tariff quotas A/B and C for the third quarter of 2002.
The quantity referred to in Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 896/2001 that may be authorised for banana imports under the tariff quotas provided for in Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 shall be equal to 23 % of the reference quantity established pursuant to Articles 4 and 5 of Regulation (EC) No 896/2001 for traditional operators under tariff quotas A/B and C and 23 % of the quantity determined and notified pursuant to Article 9(3) of Regulation (EC) No 896/2001 for non-traditional operators under tariff quotas A/B and C for the third quarter of 2002.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 of 15 October 1993 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the fixing and granting of adjusted refunds in respect of cereals exported in the form of certain spirit drinks(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1633/2000(2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 4(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 provides that the quantities of cereals eligible for the refund are to be the quantities placed under control and distilled, weighted by a coefficient to be fixed annually for each Member State concerned. That coefficient expresses the ratio between the total quantities exported and the total quantities marketed of the spirituous beverage concerned on the basis of the trend noted in those quantities during the number of years corresponding to the average ageing period of the spirituous beverage in question. In view of the information provided by Ireland on the period 1 January to 31 December 2001, the average ageing period in 2001 was five years for Irish whiskey. The coefficients for the period 1 October 2002 to 30 September 2003 should be fixed.
(2) Article 10 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement on the European Economic Area(3) precludes the grant of refunds for exports to Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway. Therefore, pursuant to Article 7(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93, account should be taken of this in the calculation of the coefficient for 2002/2003.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
For the period 1 October 2002 to 30 September 2003 the coefficients provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 applying to cereals used in Ireland for manufacturing Irish whiskey shall be as set out in the Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Articles 11 and 27 of Directive 78/660/EEC and, by way of reference, Article 6 of Directive 83/349/EEC (2) and Articles 20 and 21 of Directive 84/253/EEC (3) contain thresholds expressed in ecus for the balance sheet total and the net turnover within which the Member States may grant derogations from the said Directives;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 53 (2) of Directive 78/660/EEC, every five years the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission, is to examine, and, if need be, revise the amounts expressed in ecus in that Directive, in the light of economic and monetary trends in the Community;
Whereas to date the Council, in accordance with Article 53 (2) of Directive 78/660/EEC, has on two occasions revised the said amounts by means of Directives 84/569/EEC (4) and 90/604/EEC (5);
Whereas the third five-year period ended on 24 July 1993 and a review of those amounts is thus justified;
Whereas over the last five years, the ecu has lost part of its value, measured in real terms; whereas, on the basis of the economic and monetary trends in the Community, an increase in the amounts expressed in ecus is necessary,
1. Article 11 of Directive 78/660/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
- in the first indent, 'balance sheet total: ECU 2 000 000' shall be replaced by 'balance sheet total: ECU 2 500 000',

3. The revision of the above amounts in ecus shall constitute the third five-yearly revision provided for in Article 53 (2) of Directive 78/660/EEC.
The equivalent amount of the ecu in national currency shall be that obtaining on 21 March 1994 as published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Whereas Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 provides for the payment of financial compensation to producers' organizations which intervene, on certain conditions, in respect of the products listed in Annex I (A) and (D) to that Regulation; whereas the amount of such financial compensation must be reduced by standard values in the case of products intended for purposes other than human consumption;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1501/83 (3) specifies the ways in which the products withdrawn must be disposed of; whereas the value of such products must be fixed at a standard level for each of these modes of disposal, taking into account the average receipts which may be obtained from such disposal;

(1) By Regulation (EC) No 950/2001 (2), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports into the Community of certain aluminium foil (‘the product concerned’) originating among others in Russia. By Commission Decision (2001/381/EC) of 16 May 2001 (3), an undertaking was accepted for a Russian exporting producer ‘United Company Siberian Aluminium’.
(2) The rate of the duty applicable to the net, free-at-Community-frontier price, before duty, was set at 14,9 % for imports of the product concerned from Russia by Regulation (EC) No 950/2001.
2. Investigation
(3) On 20 March 2004 the Commission announced through the publication of a notice in the Official Journal of the European Union
(4), the initiation of a number of partial interim reviews of anti-dumping measures applicable to imports of certain products originating in the People's Republic of China, the Russian Federation, Ukraine and the Republic of Belarus pursuant to Articles 11(3) and 22 (c) of the basic Regulation. The anti-dumping measure imposed on imports of certain aluminium foil originating in Russia is one of the measures on which the review was initiated (‘the measures’).
(4) The review was launched at the initiative of the Commission in order to examine whether, as a consequence of the enlargement of the European Union on 1 May 2004 (‘enlargement’), it would be appropriate to adapt the measures.
(5) Since a certain quantity of the imports of the product concerned originating in Russia is currently subject to a price undertaking for a specific volume, the review of the measures was initiated in order to examine whether this undertaking, which was drawn up on the basis of data for a Community of 15 Member States, should be adapted to take account of the enlargement.
3. Parties concerned by the investigation
(6) All interested parties known to the Commission, including the Community industry, associations of producers or users in the Community, exporters/producers in the countries concerned, importers and their associations and the relevant authorities of the countries concerned as well as interested parties in the ten new Member States which acceded to the European Union on 1 May 2004 (‘the EU10’) were informed of the initiation of the investigation and were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing, to submit information and to provide supporting evidence within the time-limit set out in the notice of initiation. All interested parties who so requested and showed that there were reasons why they should be heard were granted a hearing.
(7) In this regard, the following interested parties made their views known:
(a) Community Producers Association:
— Eurometaux, Brussels, Belgium
(b) Exporting producers:
— JSC ‘United Company Siberian Aluminium’, Moscow, Russia.
B. PRODUCT CONCERNED
(8) The product concerned is aluminium foil of a thickness of 0,009 mm or more up to not more than 0,018 mm, not backed, not further worked than rolled, presented in reels of a width not exceeding 650 mm, currently classifiable within CN code ex 7607 11 10. The product concerned is commonly known as aluminium household foil (‘AHF’).
(9) AHF is manufactured by rolling aluminium ingots or foil-stock up to the desired thickness. Once rolled, the foil is annealed by a thermal process to make it pliable. Once rolled and annealed the AHF is presented on reels of a width not exceeding 650 mm. The dimension of the reel is determinant for its use, since the users of this product (‘spoolers’ or ‘rewinders’) will mount the AHF onto small end-rolls destined for retail sale. The AHF rewound onto smaller rolls is then used for multi-purpose short-life wrapping (mostly in households, catering and food and floristry retail business).
C. RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION
1. Claims made by interested parties
(10) The Russian exporting producer subject to the price undertaking submitted that the volume of imports to which the price undertaking applies was established on the basis of its sales to the market of the EU15 and that, therefore, the undertaking should be revised in order to take due account of the market of the EU25. It claimed that such revision was essential in order to avoid discrimination in favour of the other exporters of the product concerned to the EU.
2. Comments received from Member States
(11) The Member States have made their views known and the majority of them support adapting the measures in order to take account of the enlargement.
3. Assessment
(12) An analysis was made of the available data and information which confirmed that the import volumes of the product concerned from Russia into the EU10 were significant. Considering that the volume of imports subject to the price undertaking currently in force was established on the basis of the imports into the Community of 15 Member States, it does not take into account the effect of the increase of the market following the enlargement.
4. Conclusion
(13) Considering the above, it is concluded that to take account of the enlargement it is appropriate to adapt the measures in order to cater for the additional volume of imports into the EU10 market.
(14) The original volume of imports subject to the price undertaking for the EU15 was calculated on the basis of the exports to the Community during the original investigation period of the Russian producer for whom an undertaking has been accepted. The amount of the increase of the volume of imports subject to the price undertaking has been calculated following the same calculation method.
(15) Accordingly, it is considered appropriate that the Commission may accept a proposal for a modified undertaking reflecting the situation after the enlargement and on the basis of the method described in recital 14,
The Commission may accept a proposal for a modified undertaking increasing the volume of imports subject to the price undertaking accepted by Decision 2001/381/EC as regards imports of certain aluminium foil originating in Russia. The increase shall be calculated by using the same calculation method that was used when the original price undertaking was established for the Community of 15 Member States, that is on the basis of the exports to the Community of the Russian producer for whom an undertaking has been accepted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1384/2001(4), establishes, on the basis of the Combined Nomenclature, an agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds. It lays down, among other things, the additional requirements for using the product codes for cheeses in respect of which a refund is granted, especially as regards their maximum water content and their minimum fat content in the dry matter. The requirements for certain cheeses need to be adapted in order to reflect more accurately the true nature of the products exported.
(2) Footnote 8 in section 9 of Annex I to that Regulation requires certain milk products to meet a minimum milk-protein content in order to qualify for the refund. In order to facilitate the completion of the customs formalities and with a view to coming into line with the other provisions, the operator should be obliged to indicate on the export declaration the product's maximum water content and the minimum milk-protein content in non-fat solids.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 of 30 June 1992 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1552/93 (2), and in particular Article 16 thereof,
Whereas Article 2 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 provides for a reduction in the area eligible for compensatory payments and special set-aside without compensation where the sum of the areas for which aid is claimed by producers exceeds the regional base area;
Whereas a base area was fixed for each German Land; whereas, in each of the new German Laender, areas for which aid applications were submitted in 1993/94 exceed the respective base area by levels ranging from 1,20 % in Brandenburg to 16,83 for Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania; whereas the average overrun in the five new Laender is 9,76 %;
Whereas the change from the planned economy existing in the new Laender before unification to a market economy has been carried out practically without a transitional period; whereas, therefore, implementation of the reform comes at a time when agricultural production structures are in the process of change; whereas this situation and the loss of traditional markets in the countries of eastern Europe led to a significant and unforeseen fall in livestock production and a reduction in the areas previously used for fodder production when Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 was adopted;
Whereas, given this situation, a solution must be found which will not allow the strictness of the existing legislation to cause the failure of the restructuring of the agricultural sector in the new Laender but which does not increase the base area which is a key element in the reform of arable farming; whereas a transitional measure, gradually introducing the penalties provided for in Article 2 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92, would appear to be most appropriate measure in the circumtances; whereas this measure should only be applied for the 1993/94, 1994/95 and 1995/96 marketing years;
Whereas, however, the measures provided for in this Regulation should not be applied where the base area is exceeded by only a small margin; whereas, therefore, a minimum overrun threshold should be established and discrimination between producers in the new Laender should be avoided;
Whereas the relevant management committees have not delivered opinions within the time limits set by their chairmen,
Notwithstanding Article 2 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 where the base area in the Laender of Berlin, Brandenburg Mecklenburg-West Pomerania, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia is exceeded by more than 1 %, the proportionate reduction in the areas eligible for compensatory payments and the special set-aside shall be 10, 20 and 50 % for the 1993/94, 1994/95 and 1995/96 marketing years respectively and 100 % from the 1996/97 marketing year.
However, application of the above paragraph shall not result in a proportionate reduction in the areas eligible for compensatory payments and the special set-aside of less than 1 %.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from the 1993/94 marketing year.

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 4194/88 of 21 December 1988 fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1989 and certain conditions under which they may be fished (3) provides for cod, haddock, whiting, plaice, common sole, hake, anglerfish and sprat 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 the quotas allocated to the Netherlands for cod and in the waters of ICES divisions III a Skagerrak and VII a, and VII b, c, d, e, f, g, h, j and k, VIII, IX and X; CECAF 34. 1. 1 (EC zone), for haddock in the waters of ICES divisions III a and III b, c and d (EC zone), for whiting in the waters of ICES divisions III a and VII a and VII b, c, d, e, f, g, h, j and k, for plaice in the waters of ICES divisions III a Skagerrak and VII a, and VII h, j and k, for sole in the waters of ICES divisions III a and III b, c and d (EC zone) and VII a, and VII h, j and k and VIII a and b, for hake in the waters of ICES divisions V b (EC zone), VI, VII, XII and XIV, for anglerfish in the waters of ICES divisions V b (EC zone), VI, XII, XIV and VII and for sprat in the waters of ICES division VII d and e by vessels flying the flag of the Netherlands or registered in the Netherlands have been exhausted by exchanges of quotas; whereas the Netherlands have prohibited fishing for these stocks as from 1 January 1989; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,

Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 establishes basic requirements for the organic production of seaweed and aquaculture animals. Detailed rules for the implementation of those requirements are laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 (2).
(2) In the period between November 2012 and April 2013 certain Member States submitted requests for revision of the rules about products, substances and techniques which can be used in organic aquaculture production. Those requests are to be evaluated by the expert group for technical advice on organic production set up by Commission Decision 2009/427/EC (3); on the basis of that evaluation, the Commission intends to assess the need for any revision of those rules in 2014.
(3) In some of those requests it was stated that there was insufficient availability of organic juveniles and shellfish seed on the market to comply with the requirements of Articles 25e and 25o of Regulation (EC) No 889/2008.
(4) As organic juveniles and shellfish seed are not yet available in sufficient quantities, in order to allow for continuity, to avoid disruption of organic aquaculture production in the Union, and to give time to the market for organic juveniles and shellfish seed to develop further, it is justified, pending the receipt of expert advice, to postpone the application of the percentage of 50 % provided for in Article 25e(3) and the third subparagraph of 25o(1) of Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 by one year until 31 December 2014.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards coordination of activities of the different Structural Funds between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2082/93 (2), and in particular Article 10 (1) last subparagraph thereof,
After consultation of the Advisory Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions and the Committee pursuant to Article 124 of the Treaty,
Whereas the programming procedure for structural assistance under Objective 2 is defined in Article 9 (8) to (10) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 of 24 June 1988 on the tasks of the Structural Funds and their effectiveness and on coordination of their activities between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2081/93 (4); whereas, however, the last subparagraph of Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 foresees that in order to simplify and to speed up programming procedures, Member States may submit in a Single Programming Document the information required for the regional and social conversion plan referred to in Article 9 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 and the information required at Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88; whereas Article 10 (1) last subparagraph of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 foresees that in that case the Commission adopts a single decision in a Single Document covering the points referred to in Article 8 (3) and the assistance from the Funds referred to in the last subparagraph of Article 14 (3);
Whereas the Commission has established, by Decision 94/169/EC (5), an initial list of declining industrial areas concerned by Objective 2 for the period 1994 to 1996;
Whereas the French Government has submitted to the Commission on 28 April 1994 the Single Programming Document referred to in Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 for the region of Languedoc-Roussillon; whereas this document contains the elements referred to in Article 9 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 and in Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88; whereas expenditure under this Single Programming Document is eligible pursuant to Article 33 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, from 1 January 1994;
Whereas the Single Programming Document submitted by this Member State includes a description of the conversion priorities selected and the applications for assistance from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the European Social Fund (ESF) as well as an indication of the planned use of the assistance available from the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the other financial instruments in implementing the Single Programming Document;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, the Commission is charged with ensuring, within the framework of the partnership, coordination and consistency between assistance from the Funds and assistance provided by the EIB and the other financial instruments, including the ECSC and the other actions for structural purposes;
Whereas the EIB has been involved in the drawing up of the Single Programming Document in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, applicable by analogy in the establishment of the Single Programming Document; whereas it has declared itself prepared to contribute to the implementation of this document in conformity with its statutory provisions; whereas, however, it has not yet been possible to evaluate precisely the amounts of Community loans corresponding to the financial needs;
Whereas Article 2 second subparagraph of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1866/90 of 2 July 1990 on arrangements for using the ecu for the purpose of the budgetary management of the Structural Funds (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2745/94 (2), stipulates that in the Commission Decisions approving a Single Programming Document, the Community assistance available for the entire period and the annual breakdown thereof shall be set out in ecus at prices for the year in which each Decision is taken and shall be subject to indexation; whereas this annual breakdown must be compatible with the progressive increase in the commitment appropriations shown in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88; whereas indexation is based on a single rate per year, corresponding to the rates applied annually to budget appropriations on the basis of the mechanism for the technical adjustment of the financial perspectives;
Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4254/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the European Regional Development Fund (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2083/93 (4), defines the measures for which the ERDF may provide financial support;
Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4255/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the European Social Fund (5), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2084/93 (6), defines the measures for which the ESF may provide financial support;
Whereas the Single Programming Document has been established in agreement with the Member State concerned through the partnership defined in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88;
Whereas the Single Programming Document satisfies the conditions and includes the information required by Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88;
Whereas Article 9 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 lays down that Member States shall provide the relevant financial information to the Commission to permit verification of the respect of the principle of additionality; whereas the analysis, in the framework of partnership, of the information provided for by the French authorities has not yet allowed this verification; whereas, payments should therefore be suspended after the first advance provided for in Article 21 (2) of the said Regulation until the Commission will have verified the respect of the additionality;
Whereas the present assistance satisfies the conditions laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, and so should be implemented by means of an integrated approach involving finance from more than one Fund;
Whereas Article 1 of the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (7), as last amended by Regulation (ECSC, EC, Euratom) No 2730/94 (8), states that the legal commitments entered into for measures extending over more than one financial year must contain a time limit for implementation which must be specified to the recipient in due form when the aid is granted;
Whereas all the other conditions laid down for the grant of aid from the ERDF and the ESF have been complied with,
The Single Programming Document for Community structural assistance in the region of Languedoc-Roussillon concerned by Objective 2 in France, covering the period 1 January 1994 to 31 December 1996, is hereby approved.
The Single Programming Document includes the following essential elements:
(a) a statement of the main priorities for joint action, their specific quantified objectives, an appraisal of their expected impact and their consistency with economic, social and regional policies in France;
the main priorities are:
1. economic development;
2. attractiveness of the region and business environment;
3. human resources;
(b) the assistance from the Structural Funds as referred to in Article 4;
(c) the detailed provisions for implementing the Single Programming Document comprising:
- the procedures for monitoring and evaluation,
- the financial implementation provisions,
- the rules for compliance with Community policies;
(d) the procedures for verifying additionality;
(e) the arrangements for associating the environmental authorities with the implementation of the Single Programming Document;
(f) the means available for technical assistance necessary for the preparation, implementation or adaptation of the measures concerned.
For the purpose of indexation, the annual breakdown of the global maximal allocation foreseen for the assistance from the Structural Funds is as follows:
>TABLE>
The assistance from the Structural Funds granted to the Single Programming Document amounts to a maximum of ECU 70,5 million.
The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds to the various priorities and measures, is set out in the financing plan and the detailed implementing provisions which form an integral part of the Single Programming Document.
The national financial contribution envisaged, which is approximately ECU 62 million for the public sector and ECU 87 million for the private sector, may be met in part by Community loans, in particular from the ECSC and EIB.
1. The breakdown among the Structural Funds of the total Community assistance available is as follows:
- ERDF:ECU 59,925 million,
- ESF:ECU 10,575 million.
2. The budgetary commitments for the first instalment are as follows:
- ERDF:ECU 19,047 million,
- ESF:ECU 3,361 million.
Commitments of subsequent instalments will be based on the financing plan for the Single Programming Document and on progress in its implementation.
3. The financial contribution will be suspended after the payment of the first advance provided for in Article 21 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 until such time as the Commission has verified the respect of the principle of additionality on the basis of the relevant information supplied by the Member State.
The breakdown among the Structural Funds and the procedure for the grant of the assistance may be altered subsequently, subject to the availability of funds and the budgetary rules, in the light of adjustments decided according to the procedure laid down in Article 25 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88.
The Community aid concerns expenditure on operations under the Single Programming Document which, in the Member State concerned, are the subject of legally binding commitments and for which the requisite finance has been specifically allocated no later than 31 December 1996. The final date for taking account of expenditure on these measures is 31 December 1998.
The Single Programming Document shall be implemented in accordance with Community law, and in particular Articles 6, 30, 48, 52, 59, 92 and 93 of the EC Treaty and the Community Directives on the coordination of procedures for the award of contracts.

(notified under document C(2009) 6305)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2009/617/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 to 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 1112/2002 (2) and (EC) No 2229/2004 (3) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the fourth 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 paraffin oil CAS 64742-54-7.
(3) For paraffin oil CAS 64742-54-7 the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulations (EC) No 1112/2002 and (EC) No 2229/2004 for a range of uses proposed by the notifier. 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 21(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004. For paraffin oil CAS 64742-54-7 the Rapporteur Member State was Greece and all relevant information was submitted in April 2008.
(4) The Commission examined paraffin oil CAS 64742-54-7 in accordance with Article 24a of Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004. A draft review report for that substance was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 12 March 2009 in the format of the Commission review report.
(5) During the examination of paraffin oil CAS 64742-54-7 by the Committee, it was concluded, taking into account comments received from Member States, that there are clear indications that it may be expected that the active substance has harmful effects on human health and in particular on consumers and operators because the existing evidence is not sufficient to allow the establishment of an ADI, ARfD and an AOEL.
(6) The Commission invited the notifier to submit its comments on the results of the examination of paraffin oil CAS 64742-54-7 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 put forwards by the notifier, the concerns identified could not be eliminated, and assessments made on the basis of the information submitted have not demonstrated that it may be expected that, under the proposed conditions of use, plant protection products containing paraffin oil CAS 64742-54-7 satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
(7) Paraffin oil CAS 64742-54-7 should therefore not be included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(8) Measures should be taken to ensure that authorisations granted for plant protection products containing paraffin oil CAS 64742-54-7 are withdrawn within a fixed period of time and are not renewed and that no new authorisations for such products are granted.
(9) Any period of grace granted by a Member State for the disposal, storage, placing on the market and use of existing stocks of plant protection products containing paraffin oil CAS 64742-54-7 should be limited to 12 months in order to allow existing stocks to be used in one further growing season, which ensures that plant protection products containing paraffin oil CAS 64742-54-7 remain available to users for 18 months from the adoption of this Decision.
(10) This Decision does not prejudice the submission of an application for paraffin oil CAS 64742-54-7 in accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 of 17 January 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included into its Annex I (4), in view of a possible inclusion in its Annex I.
(11) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Paraffin oil CAS 64742-54-7 shall not be included as active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
Member States shall ensure that:
(a) authorisations for plant protection products containing paraffin oil CAS 64742-54-7 are withdrawn by 17 February 2010;
(b) no authorisations for plant protection products containing paraffin oil CAS 64742-54-7 are granted or renewed from the date of publication of this Decision.
Any period of grace granted by Member States in accordance with the provisions of Article 4(6) of Directive 91/414/EEC, shall be as short as possible and shall expire on 17 February 2011 at the latest.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0.25 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organisation of the market in milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1587/96 (2), and in particular Articles 9(3) and 28 thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 508/71 of 8 March 1971 laying down general rules on private storage aid for long-keeping cheeses (3) permits the granting of private storage aid for sheep's milk cheeses requiring at least six months for maturing where a serious market imbalance could be eliminated or reduced by seasonal storage;
Whereas the seasonal nature of Pecorino Romano cheese production results in the building up of stocks which are difficult to sell and which risk causing a lowering of prices; whereas seasonal storage should therefore be introduced for the quantities to improve the situation and allow producers time to find outlets for their cheese;
Whereas the detailed rules of this measure should determine the maximum quantity to benefit from it as well as the duration of the contracts in relation to the real requirements of the market and the keeping qualities of the cheeses in question; whereas it is necessary to specify the terms of the storage contract so as to enable the identification of the cheese and to maintain checks on the stock in respect of which aid is granted; whereas the aid should be fixed taking into account storage costs and the foreseeable trend of market prices;
Whereas Article 1(1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1756/93 of 30 June 1993 fixing the operative events for the agricultural conversion rate applicable to milk and milk products (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 569/1999 (5), fixes the conversion rate to be applied in the framework of private storage aid schemes in the milk products sector;
Whereas experience shows that provisions on checks should be laid down, particularly as regards the documents to be submitted and checks to be made on the spot; whereas therefore, it should be provided that Member States require the costs of checks be fully or partly borne by the contractor;
Whereas it is appropriate to guarantee the continuation of the storage operations in question;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
Aid shall be granted in respect of the private storage of 15 000 tonnes of Pecorino Romano cheese manufactured in the Community and satisfying the requirements of Articles 2 and 3.
1. The intervention agency shall conclude storage contracts only when the following conditions are met:
(a) the quantity of cheese to which the contract relates is not less than 2 tonnes;
(b) the cheese was manufactured at least 90 days before the date specified in the contract as being the date of commencement of storage, and after 1 October 1998;
(c) the cheese has undergone tests which show that it meets the condition laid down in (b) and that it is of first quality;
(d) the storer undertakes:
- not, during the term of the contract, to alter the composition of the batch which is the subject of the contract without authorisation from the intervention agency. If the condition concerning the minimum quantity fixed for each batch continues to be met, the intervention agency may authorise an alteration which is limited to the removal or replacement of cheeses which are found to have deteriorated to such an extent that they can no longer be stored.
In the event of release from store of certain quantities:
(i) if the aforesaid quantities are replaced with the authorisation of the intervention agency, the contract is deemed not to have undergone any alteration;
(ii) if the aforesaid quantities are not replaced, the contract is deemed to have been concluded ab initio for the quantity permanently retained.
Any supervisory costs arising from an alteration shall be met by the storer,
- to keep stock accounts and to inform the intervention agency each week of the quantity of cheese put into storage during the previous week and of any planned withdrawals.
2. The storage contract shall be concluded:
(a) in writing, stating the date when storage covered by the contract begins; this may not be earlier than the day following that on which the operations connected with putting the batch of cheese covered by the contract into storage were completed;
(b) after completion of the operations connected with putting the batch of cheese covered by the contract into storage and at the latest 40 days after the date on which the storage covered by the contract begins.
1. Aid shall be granted only for cheese put into storage during the period 15 April to 31 December 1999.
2. No aid shall be granted in respect of storage under contract for less than 60 days.
3. The aid payable may not exceed an amount corresponding to 180 days storage under contract terminating before 31 March 2000. By way of derogation from the first indent of Article 2(1)(d), when the period of 60 days specified in paragraph 2 has elapsed, the storer may remove all or part of the batch under contract. The minimum quantity that may be removed shall be 500 kilograms. The Member States may, however, increase this quantity to 2 tonnes.
The date of the start of operations to remove cheese covered by the contract shall not be included in the period of storage under contract.
1. The aid shall be as follows:
(a) EUR 100 per tonne for the fixed costs;
(b) EUR 0,35 per tonne per day of storage under contract for the warehousing costs;
(c) EUR 0,52 per tonne per day of storage under contract for the financial costs.
2. Aid shall be paid not later than 90 days from the last day of storage under contract.
1. The Member States shall ensure that the conditions granting entitlement to payment of the aid are fulfilled.
2. The contractor shall make available to the national authorities responsible for verifying execution of the measure any documentation permitting in particular the following particulars of products placed in private storage to be verified:
(a) ownership at the time of entry into storage;
(b) the origin and date of manufacture of the cheeses;
(c) the date of entry into storage;
(d) presence in the store;
(e) the date of removal from storage.
3. The contractor or, where applicable, the operator of the store shall keep stock accounts available at the store, covering:
(a) identification, by contract number, of the products placed in private storage;
(b) the dates of entry into and removal from storage;
(c) the number of cheeses and their weight shown for each lot;
(d) the location of the products in the store.
4. Products stored must be easily identifiable and must be identified individually by contract. A special mark shall be affixed to cheese covered by contract.
5. Without prejudice to Article 2(1)(d), on entry into storage, the competent bodies shall conduct checks in particular to ensure that products stored are eligible, for the aid and to prevent any possibility of substitution of products during storage under contract.
6. The national authorities responsible for controls shall undertake:
(a) an unannounced check to see that the products are present in the store. The sample concerned must be representative and must correspond to at least 10 % of the overall quantity under contract for a private storage aid measure. Such checks must include, in addition to an examination of the accounts referred to in paragraph 3, a physical check of the weight and type of product and their identification. Such physical checks must relate to at least 5 % of the quantity subject to the unannounced check;
(b) a check to see that the products are present at the end of the storage period under contract.
7. Checks conducted pursuant to paragraphs 5 and 6 must be the subject of a report stating:
- the date of the check,
- its duration,
- the operations conducted.
The report on checks must be signed by the official responsible and countersigned by the contractor or, where applicable, by the store operator.
8. In the case of irregularities affecting at least 5 % of the quantities of products subject to the checks the latter shall be extended to a larger sample to be determined by the competent body.
The Member States shall notify such cases to the Commission within four weeks.
9. The Member States may provide that the costs of checks will be borne partly or fully by the contractor.
Member States shall communicate to the Commission before 15 December 1999.
(a) the quantity of cheese for which storage contracts have been concluded;
(b) any quantities in respect of which the authorisation referred to in Article 2(1)(d) has been given.

(2) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC France received on 14 June 2010 an application from Syngenta Crop Protection AG for the inclusion of the active substance sedaxane in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Decision 2011/123/EU 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 submitted a draft assessment report on 10 May 2011.
(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 review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance sedaxane (4) on 6 July 2012.
(5) In November 2012, the Commission requested further toxicological assessment from the Authority. The rapporteur Member State submitted an addendum to its draft assessment report. The Authority updated its conclusion and undertook a final consultation with the Member States.
(6) The Authority presented to the Commission its updated conclusion on the review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance sedaxane (5) on 18 December 2012. The draft assessment report and the updated conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and the draft assessment report was finalised on 16 July 2013 in the format of the Commission review report for sedaxane.
(7) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing sedaxane 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 sedaxane.
(8) 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.
(9) 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.
(10) 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 six months after approval to review authorisations of plant protection products containing sedaxane. 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 update 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.
(11) 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 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (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.
(12) In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 of 25 May 2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the list of approved active substances (7) should be amended accordingly.
(13) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Approval of active substance
The active substance sedaxane, 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 sedaxane as an active substance by 31 July 2014.
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 sedaxane 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 January 2014 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 sedaxane as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 July 2015 at the latest; or
(b) in the case of a product containing sedaxane as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 July 2015 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.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 2969/83 (3) provides for the granting of aid for the conversion into medium-term loans of short-term loans taken up before 30 November 1983 to cover farmers' requirements for the operation of the holdings referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation;
Whereas, because of the limited funds at the disposal of the agriculture credit institutions, it has been possible to accept only about one-half of the applications made; whereas, as a result, it has been possible for only part of the appropriations provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2969/83 to be used;
Whereas the very difficult position of the farmers requires that the conversion ability should continue to be available to those farmers who have not yet benefited from the Community measure,
Regulation (EEC) No 2969/83 is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Article 2, '30 November 1983' is replaced by '1 May 1985' and the following subparagraph is added:
'However, a farmer may benefit from the aid only once.'

Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) The Council, by Regulation (EC) No 92/2002(2), imposed definitive anti-dumping duties on imports of urea originating in Belarus, Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Libya, Lithuania, Romania and the Ukraine, and exempted a Bulgarian exporting producer from the said duties as an undertaking had been accepted by the Commission from the company concerned.
(2) Joint Stock Company Achema, in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of urea originating, inter alia, in Lithuania offered an acceptable undertaking prior to the publication of the definitive findings but at a stage when it was administratively impossible to include its acceptance in the definitive Regulation.
(3) The Commission, by Decision No 2002/498/EC(3), accepted the undertaking offer by Joint Stock Company Achema. The reasons for accepting this undertaking are set out in this Decision. The Council recognises that the revisions introduced to the undertaking offer eliminate the injurious effect of dumping and seriously limit any risk of circumvention in the form of cross-compensation with other products.
(4) In view of the acceptance of the undertaking offer it is necessary to amend Regulation (EC) No 92/2002 accordingly,
Regulation (EC) No 92/2002 is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Article 1(2), the row concerning Lithuania shall be replaced by the following: ">TABLE>"
2. In Article 2(1), the table shall be replaced by the following: ">TABLE>"

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 of 20 March 2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular Article 7(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with the Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, and pursuant to Article 17(2) of the same Regulation, Spain’s application to enter the designation ‘Cordero de Navarra’ or ‘Nafarroako Arkumea’ in the register was published in the Official Journal of the European Union
(2).
(2) France has stated its opposition to this registration in accordance with Article 7(3)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006. France indicated in particular in its statement of opposition that registration of the designation ‘Cordero de Navarra’ or ‘Nafarroako Arkumea’ would prejudice the existence of products legally on the market whose registration as a protected geographical indication, i.e. ‘Agneau de lait des Pyrénées’ has been undergoing examination by the French authorities since 2000. The geographical area covered by this request for registration includes the historical region of Basse Navarre, an area also known as ‘Navarre française’ (French Navarre).
(3) By way of a letter dated 22 May 2007 the Commission invited the interested parties to hold appropriate consultations with each other.
(4) Given that no agreement was reached between Spain and France within a time frame of six months, the Commission must adopt a decision in accordance with the procedure outlined in Article 15(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006. In the light of the information provided by France, the Commission cannot conclude that registration of ‘Cordero de Navarra’ or ‘Nafarroako Arkumea’ would harm the rights of producers of ‘Agneau de lait des Pyrénées’. It is impossible to tell from the statement of objection that the production of lamb in the historical area of Basse Navarre is marketed using the term ‘Navarre’.
(5) In the light of this information, the designation ‘Cordero de Navarra’ or ‘Nafarroako Arkumea’ should be registered in accordance with Article 7(4) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Protected Geographical Indications and Protected Designations of Origin,
The designation contained in the Annex to this Regulation shall be entered in the register.

| Directive 2003/33/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
of 26 May 2003
on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to the advertising and sponsorship of tobacco products
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 47(2), 55 and 95 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee(2),
After consulting the Committee of the Regions,
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty(3),
Whereas:
(1) There are differences between the Member States' laws, regulations and administrative provisions on the advertising of tobacco products and related sponsorship. Such advertising and sponsorship in certain cases crosses the borders of the Member States or involves events organised on an international level, and are activities to which Article 49 of the Treaty applies. The differences in national legislation are likely to give rise to increasing barriers to the free movement between Member States of the products or services that serve as the support for such advertising and sponsorship. In the case of press advertising, certain obstacles have already been encountered. In the case of sponsorship, distortions of the conditions of competition are likely to increase and have already been noted as regards the organisation of certain major sporting and cultural events.
(2) Those barriers should be eliminated and, to this end, the rules relating to the advertising of tobacco products and related sponsorship should in specific cases be approximated. In particular, there is a need to specify the extent to which tobacco advertising in certain categories of publications is allowed.
(3) Article 95(3) of the Treaty requires the Commission, in its proposals for the establishment and functioning of the Internal Market concerning health, to take as a base a high level of protection. Within their respective powers, the European Parliament and the Council also seek to achieve this objective. The legislation of the Member States to be approximated is intended to protect public health by regulating the promotion of tobacco, an addictive product responsible for over half a million deaths in the Community annually, thereby avoiding a situation where young people begin smoking at an early age as a result of promotion and become addicted.
(4) The circulation in the Internal Market of publications such as periodicals, newspapers and magazines is subject to an appreciable risk of obstacles to free movement as a result of Member States' laws, regulations and administrative provisions which prohibit or regulate tobacco advertising in those media. In order to ensure free circulation throughout the Internal Market for all such media, it is necessary to limit tobacco advertising therein to those magazines and periodicals which are not intended for the general public such as publications intended exclusively for professionals in the tobacco trade and to publications printed and published in third countries, that are not principally intended for the Community market.
(5) The laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to certain types of sponsorship for the benefit of tobacco products with cross-border effects give rise to an appreciable risk of distortion of the conditions of competition for this activity within the Internal Market. In order to eliminate these distortions, it is necessary to prohibit such sponsorship only for those activities or events with cross-border effects which otherwise may be a means of circumventing the restrictions placed on direct forms of advertising, without regulating sponsorship on a purely national level.
(6) Use of information society services is a means of advertising tobacco products which is increasing as public consumption and access to such services increases. Such services, as well as radio broadcasting, which may also be transmitted via information society services, are particularly attractive and accessible to young consumers. Tobacco advertising by both these media has, by its very nature, a cross-border character, and should be regulated at Community level.
(7) Free distribution of tobacco products is subject to restriction in several Member States, given its high potential to create addiction. Cases of free distribution have occurred in the context of the sponsorship of events having cross-border effects and should therefore be prohibited.
(8) Internationally applicable standards for the advertising of tobacco products and related sponsorship are the subject of negotiations for the drafting of a World Health Organisation Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. These negotiations are intended to create binding international rules complementary to those contained in this Directive.
(9) The Commission should draw up a report on the implementation of this Directive. Provision should be made in the relevant Community programmes to monitor the effects of this Directive on public health.
(10) Member States should take adequate and effective steps to ensure control of the implementation of measures adopted pursuant to this Directive in compliance with their national legislation, as provided for in Commission Communication to the European Parliament and the Council on the role of penalties in implementing Community Internal Market legislation and in the Council Resolution of 29 June 1995 on the effective uniform application of Community law and on the penalties applicable for breaches of Community law in the Internal Market(4). Such means should include provision for intervention of persons or organisations with legitimate interest in the suppression of activities that are not in conformity with this Directive.
(11) The penalties provided for under this Directive should be without prejudice to any other penalty or remedy provided under national law.
(12) This Directive regulates the advertising of tobacco products in the media other than television, i.e. in the press and other printed publications, in radio broadcasting and in information society services. It also regulates the sponsorship, by tobacco companies, of radio programmes and of events or activities involving, or taking place in, several Member States or otherwise having cross-border effects, including the free or discounted distribution of tobacco products. Other forms of advertising, such as indirect advertising, as well as the sponsorship of events or activities without cross-border effects, fall outside the scope of this Directive. Subject to the Treaty, Member States retain the competence to regulate these matters as they deem necessary to guarantee the protection of human health.
(13) Advertising relating to medicinal products for human use is covered by Directive 2001/83/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 November 2001 on the Community code relating to medicinal products for human use(5). Advertising relating to products intended for use in overcoming addiction to tobacco does not fall within the scope of this Directive.
(14) This Directive should be without prejudice to Council Directive 89/552/EEC of 3 October 1989 on the coordination of certain provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action in Member States concerning the pursuit of television broadcasting activities(6), which prohibits all forms of television advertising for cigarettes and other tobacco products. Directive 89/552/EEC provides that television programmes may not be sponsored by undertakings whose principal activity is the manufacture or sale of cigarettes and other tobacco products, or the provision of services, the advertising of which is prohibited by that Directive. Teleshopping for tobacco products is also prohibited by Directive 89/552/EEC.
(15) The transnational character of advertising is recognised by Council Directive 84/450/EEC of 10 September 1984 relating to the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States concerning misleading advertising(7). Directive 2001/37/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 June 2001 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States concerning the manufacture, presentation and sale of tobacco products(8), contains provisions on the use of misleading descriptions on the labelling of tobacco products, the cross-border effect of which has also been recognised.
(16) Directive 98/43/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 July 1998 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to the advertising and sponsorship of tobacco products(9) was annulled by the Court of Justice in Case C-376/98 Federal Republic of Germany v European Parliament and Council of the European Union(10). References to Directive 98/43/EC should therefore be construed as references to this Directive.
(17) In accordance with the principle of proportionality, it is necessary and appropriate for the achievement of the basic objective of the proper functioning of the Internal Market to lay down rules on the advertising of tobacco products and related sponsorship. This Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve the objectives pursued in accordance with the third paragraph of Article 5 of the Treaty.
(18) This Directive respects the fundamental rights and observes the principles recognised in particular by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. In particular, this Directive seeks to ensure respect for the fundamental right of freedom of expression,

Advertising in printed media and information society services
1. Advertising in the press and other printed publications shall be limited to publications intended exclusively for professionals in the tobacco trade and to publications which are printed and published in third countries, where those publications are not principally intended for the Community market.

Those rules shall include provisions ensuring that persons or organisations which, under national legislation, can justify a legitimate interest in the suppression of advertising, sponsorship or other matters incompatible with this Directive, may take legal action against such advertising or sponsorship or bring such advertising or sponsorship to the attention of an administrative body competent either to pronounce on complaints or to institute the appropriate legal proceedings.
Free movement of products and services
Member States shall not prohibit or restrict the free movement of products or services which comply with this Directive.
References to Directive 98/43/EC
References to the annulled Directive 98/43/EC shall be construed as references to this Directive.

Whereas the Commission has asked the Member States concerned, in accordance with Article 9(2) of that Regulation, to seek agreement between themselves; whereas no agreement has been reached and it is therefore up to the Commission to decide on the registration of the name concerned;
Whereas consideration of the various observations in the abovementioned objections has not shown that the specification forwarded by the applicant Member State does not comply with the conditions set out in Articles 2, 4, 5 and 6 of that Regulation; whereas, in fact, this specification is found to establish a specific and traditional character;
Whereas, with regard to the inspection of the specific character of the product referred to in Article 6 of that Regulation, the applicant Member State has stated that a physical inspection must be carried out to check the presence of and correct preparation of the natural starter; whereas inspection also involves the taking of samples of the finished product for the purposes of checking its organoleptic, chemical and microbiological characteristics using official or recognised methods; whereas these factors are among the main points of the specification;

| Commission Directive 2000/66/EC
of 23 October 2000
including an active substance (triasulfuron) in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market
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), as last amended by Commission Directive 2000/10/EC(2), and in particular Article 6(1) and the fourth subparagraph of Article 8(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2266/2000(4), laid down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC (hereinafter referred to as "the Directive"). Pursuant to that Regulation, Commission Regulation (EC) No 933/94(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2230/95(6), laid down the list of active substances of plant protection products to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to the Directive.
(2) In accordance with Article 5(1) of the Directive, an active substance should be included in Annex I if it may be expected that neither the use of, nor residues from, plant protection products containing that active substance will have any harmful effects on human or animal health or on groundwater or any unacceptable influence on the environment.
(3) Such an active substance may be included in Annex I for a period not exceeding 10 years.
(4) For triasulfuron the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 for a number of uses proposed by the notifiers. France was designated as rapporteur Member State under Regulation (EC) No 933/94 laying down the active substances of plant protection products and designating the rapporteur Member State for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92. It submitted the relevant assessment report and recommendation to the Commission on 30 September 1996, in accordance with Article 7(1)(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92.
(5) The assessment report has been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on Plant Health. This review was finalised on 13 July 2000 in the format of the Commission review report for triasulfuron.
(6) The dossier and the information from the review have also been submitted to the Scientific Committee for Plants for consulation. The Scientific Committee for Plants in its opinion(7) confirmed that the substance can be used without unacceptable risk but noted that Member States should assess the leaching potential to groundwater in particularly vulnerable locations and should apply risk mitigation measures to protect the aquatic environment.
(7) It has appeared from the assessments made that plant protection products containing the active substance concerned may be expected to satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of the Directive, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined. It is appropriate therefore to include the active substance concerned in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the granting, varying or withdrawing, as appropriate, of the authorisations of plant protection products containing triasulfuron can be undertaken in accordance with the provisions of the Directive.
(8) Article 8(2) of the Directive provides that after inclusion of an active substance in its Annex I, Member States shall, within a prescribed period, grant, vary or withdraw, as appropriate, the authorisations of the plant protection products containing the active substance. In particular, Articles 4(1) and 13(1) of the Directive require that plant protection products are not authorised unless account is taken of the conditions associated with the inclusion of the active substance in Annex I and the uniform principles laid down in Annex VI on the basis of a dossier satisfying the data requirements laid down in its Article 13.
(9) Before inclusion, a reasonable deadline is necessary to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the inclusion. Moreover, after inclusion, a reasonable period is necessary for the Member States to implement the Directive and in particular to vary or withdraw, as appropriate, existing authorisations or grant new authorisations in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. A longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier of each plant protection product in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Annex VI to the Directive. For plant protection products containing several active substances, the complete evaluation on the basis of the uniform principles can only be carried out when all the active substances concerned have been included in Annex I to the Directive.
(10) It is appropriate to provide that the finalised review report (except for confidential information in the meaning of Article 14 of the Directive) is kept available or made available by the Member States for consultation by any interested parties.
(11) The review report is required for the proper implementation by the Member States of several sections of the uniform principles laid down in Annex VI to the Directive, where these principles refer to the evaluation of the Annex II data which were submitted for the purpose of the inclusion of the active substance in Annex I to the Directive.
(12) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Triasulfuron is hereby designated as an active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, as set out in the Annex hereto.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive, at the latest by 31 January 2002, and shall immediately inform the Commission thereof. In particular they shall, in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing triasulfuron as an active substance within such period.
2. However, with regard to evaluation and decision-making pursuant to the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III thereto, the period laid down in the first paragraph is extended:
- for plant protection products containing triasulfuron as the only active substance, to four years from the entry into force of this Directive,
- for plant protection products containing triasulfuron together with another active substance which is in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, to four years from the entry into force of such Directive as shall include the last of those substances in Annex I.
3. Member States shall keep available the review report (except for confidential information within the meaning of Article 14 of the Directive) for consultation by any interested parties or shall make it available to them on specific request.
4. When Member States adopt the provisions referred to in paragraph 1, these shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference at the time of their official publication. The procedure for such reference shall be adopted by Member States.
This Directive shall enter into force on 1 August 2001.

Article 1(1) of that Regulation lays down that the allocation provided for in Article 6(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 shall be made by the Member States by 31 May preceding each marketing year.
(3) The Italian authorities have informed the Commission that administrative difficulties prevent them from complying with the 31 May deadline and have requested an extension to 20 June 2000.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1696/2005
of 17 October 2005
opening a standing invitation to tender for the resale on the Spanish market of common wheat held by the French intervention agency
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 of 28 July 1993 laying down the procedure and conditions for the sale of cereals held by intervention agencies (2), provides in particular that cereals held by intervention agencies are to be sold by tendering procedure at prices preventing market disturbance.
(2) Because of the difficult weather conditions in much of Spain, cereals production has been significantly reduced in the 2005/06 marketing year. This situation has already resulted in high local prices, causing supply difficulties at competitive prices.
(3) France has significant intervention stocks of common wheat, outlets for which are hard to find and which should therefore be disposed of.
(4) The stocks of common wheat held by the French intervention agency should therefore be made available on the Spanish cereals market as they are particularly suited to the traders’ needs.
(5) To take account of the situation on the Community market, provision should be made for the Commission to manage this invitation to tender. In addition, provision must be made for an award coefficient for tenders offering the minimum selling price.
(6) It is also important that the French intervention agency’s notification to the Commission should maintain the anonymity of the tenderers.
(7) With a view to modernising management, the information required by the Commission should be sent by electronic mail.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
1. The French intervention agency shall open a standing invitation to tender for the sale on the Community market of 200 000 tonnes of common wheat held by it.
2. These sales are intended to supply the Spanish market.
The sale provided for in Article 1 shall take place in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93.
However, notwithstanding that Regulation:
(a) tenders shall be drawn up on the basis of the actual quality of the lot to which they apply;
(b) the minimum selling price shall be fixed at a level that does not disturb the cereals markets.
1. Notwithstanding Article 13(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 the tender security is set at EUR 10 per tonne.
2. Tenders shall be valid only if they are accompanied by the tenderer’s written commitment to lodge a security of EUR 80 per tonne within two working days of the day on which the notice of award of contract is received.
1. The first partial invitation to tender shall expire at 15.00 (Brussels time) on 26 October 2005.
The closing dates for the submission of tenders for subsequent partial invitations to tender shall be each Wednesday at 15.00 (Brussels time), with the exception of 2 November 2005, 28 December 2005, 12 April 2006, 24 May 2006 and 14 June 2006, i.e. weeks when no invitation to tender shall be made.
The closing date for the submission of tenders for the last partial invitation to tender shall be 28 June 2006 at 15.00 (Brussels time).
2. Tenders must be lodged with the French intervention agency at the following address:
Office national interprofessionnel des céréales
21, avenue Bosquet
F-75007 Paris
Fax (33-1) 44 18 20 08 — (33-1) 44 18 20 80
Within two hours of the expiry of the time limit for the submission of tenders, the French intervention agency shall notify the Commission of tenders received. This notification shall be made by e-mail, using the form in the Annex hereto.
According to the procedure laid down in Article 25(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 the Commission shall set the minimum selling price or decide not to award any quantities. In the event that tenders are submitted for the same lot and for a quantity larger than that available, the Commission may fix this price separately for each lot.
Where tenders are offering the minimum selling price, the Commission may fix an award coefficient for the quantities offered at the same time as it fixes the minimum selling price.
1. The security referred to in Article 3(1) shall be released in full in respect of quantities for which:
(a) no award is made;
(b) payment of the selling price is made within the period set and the security referred to in Article 3(2) has been lodged.
2. The security referred to in Article 3(2) shall be released in proportion to the quantities of cereals delivered to Spain. Proof of a particular destination shall be supplied in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3002/92 (3). The T5 control copy must provide proof of compliance with the conditions laid down in Article 1(2) of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2238/2000(2), and in particular Articles 8 and 9 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) By Regulation (EC) No 230/2001(3), the Commission imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of certain iron or steel ropes and cables (SWR) originating in the Czech Republic, Russia, Thailand and Turkey and accepted undertakings offered by certain exporting producers in the Czech Republic and Turkey.
(2) No provisional measures were imposed on imports from the Republic of Korea (Korea) and Malaysia since the dumping margins found in the case of these two countries were below the 2 % threshold set in Article 9(3) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 ("basic Regulation").
(3) Following the imposition of provisional anti-dumping measures, the Commission continued the investigation of dumping, injury and Community interest. The definitive findings and conclusions of the investigation are set out in Council Regulation (EC) No 1601/2001(4) imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty and definitively collecting the provisional anti-dumping duty imposed on imports of certain iron or steel ropes and cables originating in the Czech Republic, Russia, Thailand and Turkey.
(4) The investigation confirmed the provisional findings of injurious dumping relating to imports originating in the Czech Republic, Russia, Thailand and Turkey. It was also confirmed that the dumping margins for imports originating in Korea and Malaysia were de minimus.
B. UNDERTAKINGS
(5) Subsequent to the imposition of provisional anti-dumping measures, the cooperating exporting producers in Russia and in Thailand offered undertakings in accordance with Article 8(1) of the basic Regulation.
(6) According to these undertakings, the exporting producers in question have offered to sell the product concerned at or above price levels which eliminate the injurious effects of dumping.
(7) The Commission considers that the undertakings offered by the exporting producers concerned can be accepted since they eliminate the injurious effect of dumping. Moreover, the companies will also provide the Commission with regular and detailed information concerning their exports to the Community, meaning that the undertakings can be monitored effectively by the Commission. Furthermore, the nature of the product, the structure of the companies and their sales patterns are such that the risk of them circumventing the agreed undertakings is limited.
(8) To further enable the Commission to effectively monitor the compliance of the companies with the undertaking, when the request for release for free circulation pursuant to the undertakings is presented to the relevant customs authority, exemption from the duty shall be conditional on the presentation of a commercial invoice issued by the exporting producer from whom the undertaking is accepted and containing at least the elements listed in the Annex to Council Regulation (EC) No 1601/2001. This level of information is also necessary to enable customs authorities to ascertain with sufficient precision that shipments correspond to the commercial documents. Where no such invoice is presented or when it does not correspond to the product presented to customs, the appropriate rate of anti-dumping duty will instead be payable.
(9) In the event of a suspected breach, breach or withdrawal of the undertakings, an anti-dumping duty may be imposed pursuant to Article 8(9) and (10) of the basic Regulation.
(10) The Advisory Committee was consulted and no objections were raised as to the acceptance of the undertakings offered.
C. TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING
(11) In view of the results of the investigation concerning Korea and Malaysia, and considering that the dumping margins found were de minimis, the proceeding should be terminated without the imposition of anti-dumping measures in respect of imports of the product concerned originating in Korea and Malaysia,
The undertakings offered by the companies mentioned below, in the framework of the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain iron or steel ropes and cables originating in the Czech Republic, the Republic of Korea, Malaysia, Russia, Thailand and Turkey are hereby accepted.
>TABLE>
The proceeding concerning imports of certain iron or steel ropes and cables originating in the Republic of Korea and Malaysia is hereby terminated.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 2009 on European Statistics (1) and in particular Article 23 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 831/2002 (2) establishes, for the purpose of enabling statistical conclusions to be drawn for scientific purposes, the conditions under which access to confidential data transmitted to the Community authority may be granted. It lists the different surveys and data sources to which it applies.
(2) There is a growing demand from researchers and the scientific community in general to have access for scientific purposes to confidential data from the European Health Interview Survey (EHIS), the Community Statistics on Information Society (CSIS), the Household Budget Survey (HBS) and the Statistical returns in respect of the Carriage of Goods by Road (CGR).
(3) The EHIS aims at measuring on a harmonised basis and with a high degree of comparability among EU Member States the health status, life style (health determinants) and health care services use of EU citizens. The topics included in the questionnaire both answer to policy driven needs and to scientific purposes. Using individual data sets will allow researchers to carry out studies on specific populations (elderly people for instance), to better assess their health status and how health care systems meet their needs. Results of such research studies could be used to design specific plans for different population groups or to assess European or/and national prevention plans.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 808/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004 concerning Community statistics on information society (3) provides a framework for the provision of harmonised statistical data on the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in households and by individuals. Access to individual data sets would largely benefit the research work on the impact of ICT use on the European societies and on digital inclusion. Results can be used to assess existing policies and to define relevant new policies at national and European level, such as the i2010 strategy.
(5) The HBS includes the classification of expenditure according to characteristics of the household and according to its reference person and the household income. The homogeneity of this source allows micro-simulation tools to be produced in order to test EU-wide hypotheses and help policy makers take informed decisions.
(6) Council Regulation (EC) No 1172/98 of 25 May 1998 on statistical returns in respect of the carriage of goods by road (4) requires that the reporting countries provide Eurostat with quarterly microdata on vehicles selected for the sample, journeys carried out by these vehicles and goods transported during these journeys between regions. Access by researchers to these data would be beneficial for the analyses of transport policy and for the transport modelling, inter alia for the purposes of EU regional policy, the balancing of different transport modes and the development of trans-European Transport Networks in the EU.
(7) The European Health Interview Survey (EHIS), the Community Statistics on Information Society (CSIS) – module 2 Individuals, households and information society, the Household Budget Survey (HBS) and the Statistical returns in respect of the Carriage of Goods by Road (CGR) should therefore be added to the enumeration in Regulation (EC) No 831/2002.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the European Statistical System Committee (ESS Committee),
Regulation (EC) No 831/2002 is amended as follows:
1. In Article 5, paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:
