| Commission Regulation (EC) No 2104/2003
of 28 November 2003
fixing the production refund on white sugar used in the chemical industry
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 markets in the sugar sector(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2), and in particular Article 7(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, production refunds may be granted on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) and (f) of that Regulation, on syrups listed in Article 1(1)(d) thereof and on chemically pure fructose covered by CN code 1702 50 00 as an intermediate product, that are in one of the situations referred to in Article 23(2) of the Treaty and are used in the manufacture of certain products of the chemical industry.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards granting the production refund on certain sugar products used in the chemical industry(3) lays down the rules for determining the production refunds and specifies the chemical products the basic products used in the manufacture of which attract a production refund. Articles 5, 6 and 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provide that the production refund applying to raw sugar, sucrose syrups and unprocessed isoglucose is to be derived from the refund fixed for white sugar in accordance with a method of calculation specific to each basic product.
(3) Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provides that the production refund on white sugar is to be fixed at monthly intervals commencing on the first day of each month. It may be adjusted in the intervening period where there is a significant change in the prices for sugar on the Community and/or world markets. The application of those provisions results in the production refund fixed in Article 1 of this Regulation for the period shown.
(4) As a result of the amendment to the definition of white sugar and raw sugar in Article 1(2)(a) and (b) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, flavoured or coloured sugars or sugars containing any other added substances are no longer deemed to meet those definitions and should thus be regarded as "other sugar". However, in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001, they attract the production refund as basic products. A method should accordingly be laid down for calculating the production refund on these products by reference to their sucrose content.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The production refund on white sugar referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 shall be equal to 46,208 EUR/100 kg net.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 December 2003.
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 |

concerning the authorisation of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens CECT 5940 (Ecobiol and Ecobiol plus) as a feed additive

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.
(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of the preparation set out in the Annex. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of that Regulation.
(3) The application concerns the authorisation of a preparation of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens CECT 5940 (Ecobiol and Ecobiol plus), as a feed additive for chickens for fattening, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.
(4) From the Opinion of the European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) of 16 July 2008 (2) it results that, on the basis of the data provided by the manufacturer, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens CECT 5940 (Ecobiol and Ecobiol plus) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment and that it is efficacious in stabilising the gut flora. The Authority further concluded that Bacillus amyloliquefaciens CECT 5940 (Ecobiol and Ecobiol plus) does not present any other risk which would, in accordance with Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, exclude authorisation. According to that opinion, the use of the preparation does not have an adverse effect on chicken for fattening. 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 that preparation shows that the conditions for authorisation, provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised, as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘gut flora stabilisers’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(5) At the date of its accession to the Revised 1958 Agreement, the Union acceded to a limited number of UNECE Regulations listed in Annex II to Decision 97/836/EC; UNECE Regulation No 41 was not included in that list.
(6) As provided for in Article 3(3) of Decision 97/836/EC, and pursuant to Article 1(7) of the Revised 1958 Agreement, the Union may decide to apply one, some or all of the UNECE Regulations to which it has not acceded at the time of its accession to the Revised 1958 Agreement.
(7) It is now appropriate for the Union to apply UNECE Regulation No 41 in order to have common harmonised requirements at international level, which will facilitate international trade and which will replace the existing approval requirements set-out in Annex III to Chapter 9 of Directive 97/24/EC. This will enable European companies to follow one set of requirements recognised worldwide, in particular in the Contracting Parties to the Revised 1958 Agreement,
The European Union shall apply Regulation No 41 of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe on uniform provisions concerning the approval of motor cycles with regard to noise.
This Decision shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Decision shall be notified by the Commission to the Secretary-General of the United Nations. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 19 August 2011
adopting a work programme for the financing of the activities of the Union on alternatives to surgical castration of pigs
(2011/C 243/06)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (1), and in particular Article 75 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2342/2002 of 23 December 2002 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (2), and in particular Article 90 thereof,
Having regard to Council Decision 2009/470/EC of 25 May 2009 on expenditure in the veterinary field (3), and in particular Articles 19, 20, 22 and 23 therof,
Whereas,
(1) Regulations (EC, Euratom) Nos 1605/2002 and 2342/2002 require that the budgetary commitments of the Union are preceded by a financing decision setting out the essential elements of the particular action involved.
(2) Decision 2009/470/EC lays down the procedures governing the Union financial contribution towards specific veterinary measures, including information policy for animal health, animal welfare and food safety, as well as technical and scientific measures.
(3) Boar taint is an offensive odour that may occur when meat from non-castrated male pigs is heated for cooking. Only a small percentage of pigs accumulate high concentrations of androstenone, skatole and indole, the substances responsible for the odour, in their meat when they are sexually mature. While not all consumers are sensitive to boar taint, those consumers who are will reject the pig meat as inedible. As a result, paragraph 1 (p) of Chapter V of Section II of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption (4) provides that meat with a pronounced sexual odour is unfit for human consumption.
(4) Three main approaches to prevent boar taint in pig meat are currently pursued, namely early slaughter, removal of the testicles (surgical castration), or immunocastration (vaccination to reduce boar taint). Surgical castration of pigs is an animal welfare concern. As a result, Council Directive 2008/120/EC of 18 December 2008 laying down minimum standards for the protection of pigs (5) provides that only veterinarians or trained persons may castrate pigs and that when the pigs are seven days or older an anaesthetic and additional prolonged analgesia is to be used.
(5) The Opinion of the Scientific Panel on Animal Health and Welfare of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) on a request from the Commission related to welfare aspects of the castration of piglets (6), adopted on 12 and 13 July 2004, suggests that surgical castration of pigs at any age is painful.
(6) Article 13 of the Treaty acknowledges that animals are sentient beings and that full regard is to be paid to their welfare requirements in formulating and implementing, amongst others, the Union's agriculture and internal market policies.
(7) In the European Declaration on alternatives to surgical castration of pigs (7) of December 2010, major actors of the pig sector committed on a voluntary basis to stop routine surgical castration of male pigs by 1 January 2018, provided that a European partnership on pig castration is set up to develop the necessary actions to achieve this goal.
(8) The Union should therefore invest in studies on alternatives to the surgical castration of pigs. Hence a work programme should be launched to support technical, scientific and educational measures to identify and introduce alternatives to surgical castration. The work programme should include the development of reference and screening methods for the detection of boar taint in pig meat and studies on consumer acceptance of meat and products obtained from male pigs not surgically castrated.
(9) The result of those studies may also require reconsideration of relevant Union legislation to ensure a smooth functioning of the internal market. The economic impact of the end of routine surgical castration of pigs by 1 January 2018 should be identified. It is therefore appropriate to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the cost and benefits that relevant measures would have at the different levels of the pig meat production chain.
(10) A dedicated interactive website should be set up in order to promote education and training of the main interested parties of the pig sector on the actions taken by the Union on alternatives to surgical castration of pigs.
(11) The Joint Research Centre of the Commission — Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements (JRC-IRMM) in Geel, Belgium, has the necessary scientific and technical expertise to develop and validate reference methods of analysis. Therefore a Union budgetary transfer covered by an administrative agreement should be awarded to the JRC-IRMM for the development of reference methods recognised by the European Union for the detection and measurement of the main compounds responsible for boar taint.
(12) For the application of this Decision, it is appropriate to define the term ‘substantial change’ within the meaning of Article 90(4) of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2342/2002.
(13) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The work programme for the activities of the Union on alternatives to surgical castration of pigs, as set out in the Annex (‘the work programme’), is adopted.
The maximum contribution for the work programme is set at EUR 1 330 000 and shall be financed from the following line of the general budget of the European Union for 2011:
— budget line 17 04 02 01: EUR 1 330 000.
These appropriations may cover interest due for late payment.
Cumulated changes of the allocations to the actions covered by the work programme not exceeding 10 % of the maximum contribution provided for in Article 2 of this Decision shall not be considered to be substantial within the meaning of Article 90(4) of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2342/2002, provided that those changes do not significantly affect the nature and objective of the work programme.
This Decision constitutes a financing decision in the meaning of Article 75 of the Financial Regulation.
This Decision covers the payment of interest due for late payment pursuant to Article 83 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 and Article 106(5) of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2342/2002. | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Protocol 4 on cotton, annexed to the Act of Accession of Greece, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1050/2001 (1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton (2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to the historical relationship between the price recorded for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton. That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying the cotton aid scheme (3). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling 17,581 EUR/100 kg.

(93/506/EEC)THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3420/83 (1) concerns import arrangements for products originating in State-trading countries, not liberalized at Community level;
Whereas it was laid down by the Council in Regulation (EEC) No 2456/92 of 13 July 1992 fixing the import quotas to be opened by Member States in respect of State-trading countries in 1992 (2) that the provisions of Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3420/83, stipulating automatic extension of the previous year's quotas, would not be applicable for 1993; whereas this was done on the assumption that Community provisions covering the national restrictions which exist pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 3420/83 would be implemented by 31 December 1992;
Whereas, to that end, the Commission put before the Council on 10 November 1992 a proposal for a Regulation concerning the uniform common rules applicable to imports from certain third countries, repealing Regulations (EEC) No 1765/82 (3), (EEC) No 1766/82 (4) and (EEC) No 3420/83; whereas the Council has not yet taken a decision on this proposal;
Whereas, for the above reasons, certain products originating in the third countries referred to in Regulation (EEC) No 3420/83 can no longer be imported into certain Member States since 1 January 1993 unless there is exceptional application of Articles 7 et seq. of that Regulation;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3420/83, Belgium, acting on behalf of the Benelux countries, has informed the other Member States and the Commission that it considers that changes should be made, pursuant to that Regulation, to the import arrangements applied in the Benelux to certain State-trading countries in respect of various products;
Whereas the measure proposed entails the abolition of quantitative restrictions; whereas such a measure may, in the context of purely national arrangements, jeopardize the establishment of the common arrangements referred to above aimed at freeing all products at Community level except those subject to Community quotas and surveillance measures; whereas, pending the implementation of the common arrangements, the Benelux should be authorized to open import facilities temporarily for only small quantities to cover its immediate requirements,
Under the import arrangements laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 3420/83, the Benelux shall open import facilities, by way of exception, for the following products originating in certain State-trading countries:

Whereas:
(1) An invitation to tender for the export refund on rice was issued pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2008/2001(3).
(2) Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 584/75(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 299/95(5), allows the Commission to fix, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 and on the basis of the tenders submitted, a maximum export refund. In fixing this maximum, the criteria provided for in Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 must be taken into account. A contract is awarded to any tenderer whose tender is equal to or less than the maximum export refund.
(3) The application of the abovementioned criteria to the current market situation for the rice in question results in the maximum export refund being fixed at the amount specified in Article 1.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The maximum export refund on wholly milled medium grain and long grain A rice to be exported to certain European third countries pursuant to the invitation to tender issued in Regulation (EC) No 2008/2001 is hereby fixed on the basis of the tenders submitted from 9 to 15 November 2001 at 220,00 EUR/t.

These arrangements enter into force on 1 August 2000. The urgent need for additional rights in certain wine-growing regions has led the Council to amend Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 to permit Member States to grant some of the newly created rights in advance.
(2) Under Article 6(1a) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87, as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1677/1999, the Member States may grant authorisation for new planting from 1 January 2000 until the end of the 1999/2000 wine year by using up to 20 % of the newly created planting rights allocating to them under Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999. These rights must be used in compliance with the provisions of Title II, Chapter I of that Regulation.
(3) Sound management of the system of allocating new planting rights under Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999, ensuring market equilibrium, requires knowledge of the exact situation with regard to the production potential involved.
(4) The Council acknowledges this requirement in Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999, in which it indicates that, to encourage Member States to compile an inventory, access to the regularisation of unlawfully planted areas, the increase in planting rights and support for restructuring and conversion should be limited to those who have compiled an inventory.
(5) It is therefore essential in such cases to determine the data relating to production potential before new rights are granted so as to avoid the risk of market disruption.
(6) The Management Committee for Wine has not delivered an opinion within the time limit laid down by its chairman,
Member States may grant the new planting rights referred to in Article 6(1a) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 only if information on wine potential as referred to in Article 2 of this Regulation has been submitted to the Commission. Member States must base on objective criteria their recognition that, owing to its quality, production of a quality wine psr or a table wine described by means of a geographical indication is far below demand.
1. The information referred to in paragraph 2 may be broken down by region. It may also be presented for one region only.
2. Information must be submitted on:
(a) the total wine-growing area:
(i) broken down by category of wine in the case of areas planted with vines classified as wine-grape varieties (quality wines psr and table wines) including the area suitable for the production of wines described by a geographical indication; areas planted under each variety in excess of 5 % of the total area shall also be indicated; areas planted with varieties below that percentage shall be shown under "Other".
(ii) given separately in the case of areas planted with both vines classified as wine-grape varieties and varieties destined for another use; areas planted under each variety in excess of 5 % of the total area shall also be indicated; for this area class also, areas planted with varieties below that percentage shall be shown under "Other";
(b) the area of valid planting rights broken down into:
(i) new planting rights:
- granted to producers each marketing year,
- used for the same marketing year;
(ii) replanting rights held by producers.
3. The Commission must also be informed of the source(s) of the above information.
The information in point 2 should refer to:
- a historical reference year (to be fixed by the Member State),
- 1998, based on final figures,
- 1999, based on final or provisional figures.
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 No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats(1), and in particular Article 3(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 3 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that, where prices within the Community are higher than world market prices, the difference between these prices may be covered by a refund when olive oil is exported to third countries.
(2) The detailed rules for fixing and granting export refunds on olive oil are contained in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 616/72(2).
(3) Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund must be the same for the whole Community.
(4) In accordance with Article 3(4) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, the refund for olive oil must be fixed in the light of the existing situation and outlook in relation to olive oil prices and availability on the Community market and olive oil prices on the world market. However, where the world market situation is such that the most favourable olive oil prices cannot be determined, account may be taken of the price of the main competing vegetable oils on the world market and the difference recorded between that price and the price of olive oil during a representative period. The amount of the refund may not exceed the difference between the price of olive oil in the Community and that on the world market, adjusted, where appropriate, to take account of export costs for the products on the world market.
(5) In accordance with Article 3(3) third indent, point (b) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, it may be decided that the refund shall be fixed by tender. The tendering procedure should cover the amount of the refund and may be limited to certain countries of destination, quantities, qualities and presentations.
(6) The second indent of Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund on olive oil may be varied according to destination where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The refund must be fixed at least once every month. It may, if necessary, be altered in the intervening period.
(8) It follows from applying these detailed rules to the present situation on the market in olive oil and in particular to olive oil prices within the Community and on the markets of third countries that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(9) The Management Committee for Oils and Fats has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(2)(c) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.

Whereas:
(1) Annex III to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 (2) sets out the list of third countries whose systems of production and control measures for organic production of agricultural products are recognised as equivalent to those laid down in Regulation (EC) No 834/2007.
(2) The Republic of Korea submitted a request in accordance with Article 33(2) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 to the Commission to be included in the list set out in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 for certain processed agricultural products. It submitted the information required pursuant to Articles 7 and 8 of that Regulation. The examination of that information, subsequent discussions with the authorities of the Republic of Korea and an on-the-spot examination of the rules of production and the control measures applied in the Republic of Korea have led to the conclusion that in that country the rules governing production and controls of organic production of processed agricultural products for use as food are equivalent to those laid down in Regulation (EC) No 834/2007. Consequently, the Republic of Korea should be included in the list set out in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 for processed agricultural products for use as food (Category D products).
(3) Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 contains a list of control bodies and control authorities competent to carry out controls and issue certificates in third countries for the purpose of equivalence. As a consequence of the inclusion of the Republic of Korea in Annex III to that Regulation, the relevant control bodies and control authorities recognised until now for the import of Category D products from the Republic of Korea should be deleted from Annex IV.
(4) Annexes III and IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The inclusion of the Republic of Korea in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 should apply from 1 February 2015. In order to allow operators to adapt to the amendments made to Annexes III and IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008, the amendment of the latter Annex should, however, apply only after a reasonable time period.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the regulatory Committee on organic production,
Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 is amended as follows:
(1) Annex III is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation;
(2) Annex IV is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.

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 1999. The final date for taking account of expenditure on these measures is 31 December 2001.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 757/2007
of 29 June 2007
concerning the permanent authorisation of certain additives in feedingstuffs
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concerning additives in feedingstuffs (1), and in particular Articles 3, 9d(1) thereof,
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 (2), and in particular Article 25 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition.
(2) Article 25 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 lays down transitional measures for applications for the authorisation of feed additives submitted in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC before the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) The applications for the authorisation of the additives listed in the Annexes to this Regulation were submitted before the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(4) Initial comments on those applications, as provided for in Article 4(4) of Directive 70/524/EEC, were forwarded to the Commission before the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. Those applications are therefore to continue to be treated in accordance with Article 4 of Directive 70/524/EEC.
(5) Data were submitted in support of an application for authorisation without a time limit of the preservative preparation of sodium benzoate, propionic acid and sodium propionate for cattle for fattening. On 18 October 2006 the European Food Safety Authority delivered its opinion on the safety and efficacy of that preparation. The assessment shows that the conditions laid down in Article 3a of Directive 70/524/EEC for such authorisation are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation, as specified in Annex I to this Regulation, should be authorised without a time limit.
(6) The use of the preparation of benzoic acid was provisionally authorised for the first time for pigs for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 877/2003 (3). New data were submitted in support of an application for authorisation without a time limit of that preparation for pigs for fattening. The assessment shows that the conditions laid down in Article 3a of Directive 70/524/EEC for such authorisation are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation, as specified in Annex II to this Regulation, should be authorised without a time limit.
(7) The assessment of these applications show that certain procedures should be required to protect workers from exposure to the additives set out in the Annexes. Such protection should be assured by the application of Council Directive 89/391/EEC of 12 June 1989 on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work (4).
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The preparation belonging to the group ‘Preservatives’, as specified in Annex I, is authorised without a time limit as an additive in animal nutrition under the conditions laid down in that Annex.
The preparation belonging to the group ‘Acidity regulators’, as specified in Annex II, is authorised without a time limit as an additive in animal nutrition under the conditions laid down in that Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Whereas Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 lays down the criteria for fixing the amount of production aid; whereas account must, in particular, be taken of the aid fixed for the previous marketing year adjusted to take account of changes in the minimum price to be paid to producers, the non-member country price and, if necessary, the pattern of processing cost assessed on a flat-rate basis; whereas, in respect of tomato concentrates, preserved whole peeled tomatoes and tomato juices the volume of imports makes the non-member country price unrepresentative; whereas the production aid for these products must be calculated by reference to a price based on the Community market price;
Whereas Article 1 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 989/84 (6) fixed as the guarantee threshold for each year a quantity of processed tomato products corresponding to 4 700 000 tonnes of fresh tomatoes; whereas Community production calculated in accordance with Article 2 (2) of that Regulation exceeds the threshold for the 1985/86 marketing year and the production of each group of tomato-based products is higher than the quantity specified in the second subparagraph of Article 1 (1) of the same Regulation; whereas the production aid for the 1986/87 marketing year must be reduced for such products pursuant to Article 2 (1) of the same Regulation;
Whereas, as regards Greece, pursuant to Article 103 of the Act of Accession of Greece and until the first move towards alignment of prices, the minimum price to be paid to Greek producers is to be established on the basis of prices paid in Greece to national producers, over the reference period defined in Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 41/81 (7); whereas that price must be aligned with the level of the common prices pursuant to Article 59 of that Act;
Whereas, as regards Greece, the said Article 103 and Council Regulation (EEC) No 990/84 (8) lay down the criteria for fixing the amount of production aid;
Whereas the minimum price to be paid to producers in Spain and Portugal and the production aid for the products obtained shall be determined as provided for in Articles 118 and 304 of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal; whereas the representative period for determining the minimum price for tomatoes intended for certain uses is laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 461/86 of 25 February laying down, on account of the accession of Spain and Portugal, rules on the production aid system in respect of processed fruit and vegetables (9); whereas as a consequence of Article 1 (2) of that Regulation no production aid can be paid during the transitional period for preserved whole peeled tomatoes and frozen whole tomatoes obtained from the San Marzano variety grown in Portugal;
Whereas Articles 118 (3) (b) and 304 (3) (b) of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal provide that the grant of production aid to tomato-based products is to be limited to specific quantities; whereas to ensure equitable allocation of raw material to each of the production regions of the Community, it should be laid down that tomatoes grown in a specific region only attract production aid when processed in that region;
Whereas Article 4 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1709/84 (1) provides that, inter alia, during the 1986/87 marketing year the production aid to be paid for tomato concentrate packed in containers with a weight, including immediate packing, of less than 1,5 kilograms is to be increased by a percentage; whereas this increase is based on the processing cost involved in the packing; whereas these costs are considered as identical in all Member States; whereas the increase should also be identical in all Member States; whereas to that end specific percentages should be fixed for Spain, Portugal and Greece;
Whereas the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
For the 1986/87 marketing year:
(a) the minimum price referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 to be paid to producers for the products listed in Annex I; and
(b) the production aid referred to in Article 5 of the same Regulation for the products listed in Annex II
shall be as set out in the said Annexes.
The production aid set out in Annex II for processed tomato products shall, where Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1320/85 applies, be weighted by a coefficient determined for each Member State in accordance with the following formula:
100
100 + a
where 'a' is the percentage by which the quantity of fresh tomatoes allocated by that Member State has been increased pursuant to Article 2 (1) of the said Regulation.
For the 1986/87 marketing year, the percentages referred to in Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1709/84 shall, in respect of products obtained from tomatoes grown in Spain, Portugal or Greece, be as follows:
1.2.3.4.5 // // // // // // Member State // Weight, immediate packings included, less than 1,5 kg but not less than 0,7 kg // Weight, immediate packings included, less than 0,7 kg but not less than 0,25 kg // Weight, immediate packings included, less than 0,25 kg but not less than 0,15 kg // Weight, immediate packings included, less than 0,15 kg // // // // // // Spain // 2,244 // 4,488 // 6,738 // 8,982 // Portugal // 1,916 // 3,831 // 5,752 // 7,668 // Greece // 1,359 // 2,717 // 4,080 // 5,439 // // // // //
Where processing takes place outside the Member State in which the produce was grown, such Member State shall furnish proof to the Member State paying the production aid that the minimum price payable to the producer has been paid.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 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 Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 June 2000 on substances that deplete the ozone layer (1), and in particular Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Community has already phased out the production and consumption of chlorofluorocarbons, other fully halogenated chlorofluorocarbons, halons, carbon tetrachloride,1,1,1-trichloroethane, hydrobromofluorocarbon and bromo-chloromethane.
(2) Each year the Commission has to determine essential uses for these controlled substances, the quantities that may be used and the companies that may use them.
(3) Decision IV/25 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the ozone layer, hereinafter ‘the Montreal Protocol’, sets out the criteria used by the Commission for determining any essential uses and authorises the production and consumption necessary to satisfy essential uses of controlled substances in each Party.
(4) Decision XV/8 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol authorises the production and consumption necessary to satisfy essential uses of controlled substances listed in Annexes A, B and C (Group II and III substances) of the Montreal Protocol for laboratory and analytical uses as listed in Annex IV to the report of the seventh Meeting of the Parties, subject to the conditions set out in Annex II to the report of the sixth Meeting of the Parties, Decision VII/11 and Decision XI/15 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol.
(5) Pursuant to paragraph 3 of Decision XII/2 of the 12th Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol on measures to facilitate the transition to chlorofluorocarbon-free metered-dose inhalers (MDIs), Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Luxembourg, Norway, Portugal, the Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom have notified the United Nations Environment Programme (2) that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are no longer essential for the manufacture of specific short-acting beta agonist CFC-MDIs. Article 4(4)(i)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 prevents CFCs from being used and placed on the market unless they are considered essential under the conditions described in Article 3(1) of that Regulation. These non-essentiality determinations have reduced the demand for CFCs in the Community. In addition, Article 4(6) prevents CFC-MDI products being imported and placed on the market unless the CFCs in these products are considered essential under the conditions described in Article 3(1).
(6) The Commission published a notice (3) on 11 July 2003 to those companies in the Community (15) that request consideration by the Commission for the use of controlled substances for essential uses in the Community in 2004 and a further notification to companies in the 10 new Member States on 11 May 2004 (4), and has received declarations on intended essential uses of controlled substances in 2004.
(7) Commission Decision 2004/209/EC of 28 January 2004 on the allocation of quantities of controlled substances allowed for essential uses in the Community in 2004 pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) should be amended in order to take account of the inclusion of specific quantities of ozone depleting substances required for essential uses in the 10 new Member States from 1 May 2004.
(8) In the interests of legal clarity and transparency Decision 2004/209/EC should therefore be replaced.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee established by Article 18(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000,
1. The quantity of controlled substances of Group I (chlorofluorocarbons 11, 12, 113, 114 and 115) subject to Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 which may be used for essential medical uses in the Community in 2004 shall be 1 428 533,000 ODP (ozone depletion potential) kilograms.
2. The quantity of controlled substances of Group I (chlorofluorocarbons 11, 12, 113, 114 and 115) and Group II (other fully halogenated chlorofluorocarbons) subject to Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 which may be used for essential laboratory uses in the Community in 2004 shall be 73 336,765 ODP kilograms.
3. The quantity of controlled substances of Group III (halons) subject to Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 that may be used for essential laboratory use in the Community in 2004 shall be 19 268,700 ODP kilograms.
4. The quantity of controlled substances of Group IV (carbon tetrachloride) subject to Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 that may be used for essential laboratory uses in the Community in 2004 shall be 141 834,000 ODP kilograms.
5. The quantity of controlled substances of Group V (1,1,1-trichloroethane) subject to Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 that may be used for essential laboratory uses in the European Union in 2004 shall be 529,300 ODP kilograms.
6. The quantity of controlled substances of Group VII (hydrobromofluorocarbons) subject to Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 that may be used for essential laboratory uses in the Community in 2004 shall be 3,070 ODP kilograms.
7. The quantity of controlled substances of group IX (bromochloromethane) subject to Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 that may be used for essential laboratory uses in the Community in 2004 shall be 13,248 ODP kilograms.
The chlorofluorocarbon metered-dose inhalers (CFC-MDIs) listed in Annex I shall not be placed on markets that have determined CFCs for these products to be non-essential.
During the period 1 January to 31 December 2004 the following rules shall apply:
1. The allocation of essential medical use quotas for chlorofluorocarbons 11, 12, 113, 114 and 115 shall be to the companies indicated in Annex II.
2. The allocation of essential laboratory use quotas for chlorofluorocarbons 11, 12, 113, 114 and 115 and other fully halogenated chlorofluorocarbons shall be to the companies indicated in Annex III.
3. The allocation of essential laboratory use quotas for halons shall be to the companies indicated in Annex IV.
4. The allocation of essential laboratory use quotas for carbon tetrachloride shall be to the companies indicated in Annex V.
5. The allocation of essential laboratory use quotas for 1,1,1-trichloroethane shall be to the companies indicated in Annex VI.
6. The allocation of essential laboratory use quotas for hydrobromofluorocarbons shall be to the companies indicated in Annex VII.
7. The allocation of essential laboratory use quotas for bromochloromethane shall be to the companies indicated in Annex VIII.

REGULATION (EU) No 253/2014 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 26 February 2014
amending Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 to define the modalities for reaching the 2020 target to reduce CO2 emissions from new light commercial vehicles
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 192(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
After consulting the Committee of the Regions,
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 13(1) of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) the Commission is, subject to confirmation of its feasibility, to review the modalities of achieving the 147 g CO2/km target by 2020, including the formulae set out in Annex I to that Regulation and the derogations provided for in Article 11 thereof. It is appropriate that this Regulation be as neutral as possible from the point of view of competition, socially equitable and sustainable.
(2) In view of the link between CO2 emissions and fuel consumption, defining modalities for reducing CO2 emissions from light commercial vehicles could also contribute to reducing fuel consumption and related costs for owners of such vehicles in a cost-effective manner.
(3) It is appropriate to clarify that, for the purpose of verifying compliance with the target of 147 g CO2/km, CO2 emissions should continue to be measured in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) and its implementing measures, and innovative technologies.
(4) According to the technical analysis carried out for the impact assessment, the technologies needed to meet the target of 147 g CO2/km are available and the required reductions can be achieved at a lower cost than estimated in the previous technical analysis carried out prior to the adoption of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011. In addition, the distance between the current average specific emissions of CO2 from new light commercial vehicles and the target of 147 g CO2/km has also decreased. Therefore, the feasibility of reaching that target by 2020 has been confirmed.
(5) In recognition of the disproportionate impact on the smallest manufacturers resulting from compliance with the specific emissions targets defined on the basis of the utility of the vehicle, the high administrative burden of the derogation procedure, and the marginal resulting benefit in terms of CO2 emissions reduction from the vehicles sold by those manufacturers, manufacturers responsible for fewer than 1 000 new light commercial vehicles registered in the Union annually should be excluded from the scope of the specific emissions target and the excess emissions premium.
(6) The procedure for granting a derogation to small-volume manufacturers should be simplified to allow for more flexibility in terms of when an application for a derogation is to be submitted by such manufacturers and when the Commission is to grant such a derogation.
(7) To enable the automotive industry to engage in long-term investment and innovation, it is desirable to provide indications as to how Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 should be amended for the period beyond 2020. Those indications should be based on an assessment of the necessary rate of reduction in line with the Union’s long-term climate goals and the implications for the development of cost effective CO2-reducing technology for light commercial vehicles. The Commission should, by 2015, review such aspects and submit a report to the European Parliament and to the Council on its findings. That report should include, where appropriate, proposals for amending Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 in relation to establishing CO2 emission targets for new light commercial vehicles beyond 2020, including the possible setting of a realistic and achievable target for 2025, based on a comprehensive impact assessment that would consider the continued competitiveness of the industry and its dependent industries, while pursuing a clear emissions reduction trajectory in line with the Union’s long-term climate goals. When developing such proposals, the Commission should ensure they are as neutral as possible from the point of view of competition and are socially equitable and sustainable.
(8) Greenhouse gas emissions related to energy supply and vehicle manufacturing and disposal are significant components of the current overall road transport carbon footprint and are likely to significantly increase in importance in the future. Policy action should therefore be taken to guide manufacturers towards optimal solutions taking account of, in particular, greenhouse gas emissions associated with the generation of energy supplied to vehicles such as electricity and alternative fuels and to ensure that those upstream emissions do not erode the benefits related to the improved operational energy use of vehicles aimed for under Regulation (EU) No 510/2011.
(9) Pursuant to Article 13(3) of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011, the Commission is required to publish a report on the availability of data on footprint and payload and their use as utility parameters for determining specific CO2 emissions targets as expressed by the formulae set out in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011. Although those data are available and their potential use has been assessed in the impact assessment, it has been concluded that it is more cost-effective to retain mass in running order as the utility parameter for the 2020 target for light commercial vehicles.
(10) It is appropriate to retain the approach of setting the target based on a linear relationship between the utility of the light commercial vehicle and its target CO2 emissions as expressed by the formulae set out in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011, since this allows the diversity of the light commercial vehicle market, and the ability of manufacturers to address different consumer needs, to be maintained, thus avoiding any unjustified distortion of competition. It is however appropriate to update that approach to reflect the latest available data on registrations of new light commercial vehicles.
(11) In its impact assessment, the Commission assessed the availability of footprint data and the use of footprint as the utility parameter in the formulae set out in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011. On the basis of that assessment, the Commission has concluded that the utility parameter used in the formula for 2020 should be mass.
(12) Under Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) the Commission is required to carry out an impact assessment in order to review the test procedures with a view to reflecting adequately the real CO2 emissions behaviour of cars. Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 extends the review of the test procedures to include light commercial vehicles. There is a need to amend the currently used ‘New European Driving Cycle’ (NEDC), to ensure its representativeness regarding real driving conditions and to avoid the underestimation of real CO2 emissions and fuel consumption. A new, more realistic and reliable test procedure should be agreed as soon as feasible. Work in this direction is proceeding through the development of a Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP) in the framework of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe but has not yet been completed. In order to ensure that specific CO2 emissions quoted for new passenger cars and new light commercial vehicles are brought more closely into line with the emissions actually generated during normal conditions of use, the WLTP should be applied at the earliest opportunity. In view of that context, Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 establishes emission limits for 2020 as measured in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and Annex XII to Commission Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 (6). When the test procedures are amended, the limits set in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 should be adjusted to ensure comparable stringency for manufacturers and classes of vehicles. Accordingly, the Commission should carry out a robust correlation study between the NEDC and the new WLTP test cycles to ensure its representativeness regarding real driving conditions.
(13) With a view to ensuring that real world emissions are adequately reflected, and measured CO2 values are strictly comparable, the Commission should ensure that those elements in the testing procedure that have a significant influence on measured CO2 emissions are strictly defined in order to prevent the utilisation of test cycle flexibilities by manufacturers. The deviations between type-approval CO2 emission values and emissions derived from vehicles offered for sale should be addressed, including by considering an in-service conformity test procedure that should ensure independent testing of a representative sample of vehicles for sale, as well as ways of addressing cases of demonstrated substantial divergence between survey and initial type-approval CO2 emissions.
(14) Since the objective of this Regulation, namely to define the modalities for reaching the 2020 target to reduce CO2 emissions from new light commercial vehicles, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States but can rather, by reason of its scale and effects, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective.
(15) Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 is amended as follows:
(1) in Article 1, paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:
(2) in Article 2, the following paragraph is added:
(3) in Article 11(3), the last sentence is deleted;
(4) Article 12 is amended as follows:
(a) paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:
(b) in paragraph 2, the introductory part is replaced by the following:
(5) Article 13 is amended as follows:

(b) paragraph 6 is amended as follows:
(i) the second subparagraph is deleted;
(ii) the fourth subparagraph is replaced by the following two subparagraphs:
(6) in Article 14, the following paragraph is added:

Whereas:

The Community support framework for Community structural assistance in the German regions concerned by Objective 1, covering the period 1 January 1994 to 31 December 1999 is hereby approved.
The Commission declares that it intends to contribute to the implementation of this Community support framework in accordance with the detailed provisions thereof and in compliance with the rules and guidelines for the Structural Funds and other existing financial instruments.
1. The Community support framework includes the following essential information:
(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 Germany;
the main priorities are:
1. Support for productive investments and for complementary investments in related infrastructure;
2. Support measures for small and medium-sized enterprises;
3. Support measures for research and technological development and for innovation;
4. Measures to protect and improve the environment;
5. Measures to combat unemployment and to develop the potential of human resources and for professional training and employment;
6. Measures to develop agriculture, rural areas and fisheries;
7. Technical assistance;
(b) an outline of the operations to be implemented, particularly their specific objectives and the main types of measures involved;

The resulting national financial contribution, approximately ECU 10 256 million for the public sector and ECU 34 010 million for the private sector, may be met in part by Community loans from the European Investment Bank and other types of loans. In indicative terms, EIB loans could reach ECU 5 400 million.
1. For the purpose of indexation, the annual breakdown of the global maximal allocation foreseen for the assistance from the Structural Funds and the FIFG is as follows:
"ECU million (1994 prices) "" ID="1">1994 > ID="2">1 872 "> ID="1">1995 > ID="2">2 024 "> ID="1">1996 > ID="2">2 170 "> ID="1">1997 > ID="2">2 321 "> ID="1">1998 > ID="2">2 523 "> ID="1">1999 > ID="2">2 730 "> ID="1">Total > ID="2">13 640 ">
2. For guidance, the initial forecast breakdown of the total Community assistance available between the Structural Funds and the FIFG is as follows:
"" ID="1">ERDF > ID="2">50,00 % "> ID="1">ESF > ID="2">30,00 % "> ID="1">EAGGF, Guidance Section > ID="2">19,39 % "> ID="1">FIFG > ID="2">0,61 % "> ID="1">Total > ID="2">100,00 %">

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2700/2000(2), and in particular Article 12(5)(a)(iii) and Article 248 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Common Customs Code(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 444/2002(4) and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In order to ensure uniform application of the Combined Nomenclature (CN) annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff(5), the Commission adopted Regulation (EC) No 1223/2002(6) clarifying and confirming the classification of the products described below as frozen poultrymeat of heading 0207, under CN subheading 0207 14 10: "Boneless chicken cuts, frozen and impregnated with salt in all parts. They have a salt content by weight of 1,2 % to 1,9 %. The product is deep-frozen and has to be stored at a temperature of lower than -18 °C to ensure conservation for at least one year".
(2) This classification was adopted for the following reasons: "Classification is determined by the provisions of General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 0207, 0207 14 and 0207 14 10. The product is chicken meat frozen for long-term conservation. The addition of salt does not alter the character of the product as frozen meat of heading 0207".
(3) Following publication of the above Regulation on 9 July 2002(7), all binding tariff information (BTIs) previously issued by Member States classifying the products concerned as salted meat of heading 0210 ceased to be valid.
(4) Based on this Regulation, some Member States later issued BTIs for frozen products of the same kind containing 2 % to 2,7 % salt under heading 0207.
(5) A number of cases subsequently came to light in which Germany had issued BTIs classifying frozen products of this kind containing between 1,9 % and 3 % by weight of salt under heading 0210.
(6) In so doing, Germany failed to take account of the fact that the classification regulation constitutes the application of a general rule to a particular case, and thus contains guidance on the interpretation of the rule which can be applied by the authority responsible for the classification of an identical or similar product.
(7) Products also consisting of boneless chicken cuts which have been frozen for long-term conservation and have a salt content of 1,9 % to 3 % are similar to the products covered by Regulation (EC) No 1223/2002. The addition of salt in such quantities is not such as to alter the products' character as frozen poultry meat of heading 0207.
(8) In order to safeguard equality between operators, which would be endangered if like cases were not treated alike, and to ensure uniform application of the CN, the BTIs issued by Germany on frozen poultry meat containing between 1,9 % and 3 % salt, listed in the annex, must be withdrawn.
(9) Pursuant to Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2454/93, the holder of the BTIs concerned may make use of the possibility of invoking BTIs which have ceased to be valid during a given period.
(10) The Customs Code Committee has not issued an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The binding tariff information notices listed in column 1 of the table annexed issued by the customs authorities shown in column 2 for the tariff classification shown in column 3 must be withdrawn at the earliest possible date and in any case not later than 10 days from the notification of this decision.

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 4088/87 lays down the conditions for applying a preferential customs duty on large-flowered roses, small-flowered roses, uniflorous (bloom) carnations and multiflorous (spray) carnations within the limit of tariff quotas opened annually for imports into the Community of fresh cut flowers;
Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 1981/94 (3), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1667/97 (4), opens and provides for the administration of Community tariff quotas for fresh cut flowers and flower buds originating in Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, Malta, Morocco and the West Bank and the Gaza Strip;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 700/88 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2062/97 (7), lays down the detailed rules for the application of the arrangements in question;

on the implementation of survey programmes for avian influenza in poultry and wild birds to be carried out in the Member States
(notified under document number C(2005) 1827)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2005/464/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1) and in particular Article 20 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Decision 90/424/EEC provides for a Community financial contribution for the undertaking of technical and scientific measures necessary for the development of Community veterinary legislation and for veterinary education and training.
(2) The Scientific Committee on Animal Health and Animal Welfare in a report of 27 June 2000 recommended that surveys be carried out on poultry flocks and wild birds for avian influenza, in particular to determine the prevalence of infections with avian influenza virus subtypes H5 and H7.
(3) Council Directive 92/40/EEC of 19 May 1992 introducing Community measures for the control of avian influenza (2) defines Community control measures to be applied in the event of an outbreak of avian influenza in poultry. However, it does not provide for regular surveys of that disease in poultry and wild birds.
(4) Accordingly, Commission Decisions 2002/649/EC (3) and 2004/111/EC (4) provided for the submission of surveillance programmes concerning avian influenza by the Member States to the Commission.
(5) Commission Decisions 2002/673/EC (5) and 2004/630/EC (6) approved programmes submitted by the Member States for surveys of avian influenza in poultry and wild birds for the periods specified in those programmes.
(6) During those surveys, the presence of different subtypes of H5 and H7 avian influenza viruses has been detected in several Member States. Although the current prevalence of avian influenza viruses can be considered rather low, it is important to continue and to improve the surveillance so as to better understand the epidemiology of the low pathogenic avian influenza viruses and prevent that viruses do not circulate unnoticed in the poultry population. The results of the surveys carried out in the Member States have proven to be very useful in monitoring the presence of avian influenza virus subtypes that could present a substantial risk if they mutated into a more virulent form. Taking into account the results obtained and the current disease situation in the Community, it is appropriate to increase the total amount of Community contribution to ensure increased surveillance.
(7) Accordingly, Member States should submit their programmes for surveys for avian influenza to the Commission for approval so that the financial assistance by the Community may be granted.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee of the Food Chain and Animal Health,
By 30 June 2005, Member States shall submit for approval to the Commission programmes for the implementation of surveys for avian influenza in poultry and wild birds in accordance with the Annex.
The Community’s financial contribution towards the measures provided for in Article 1 shall be at the rate of 50 % of the costs incurred in Member States up to a maximum of EUR 1 200 000 for the Member States in total.
The maximum amounts of the testing costs to be reimbursed shall not exceed:
(a) : ELISA test : EUR 1 per test;
(b) : agar gel immune diffusion test : EUR 0,6 per test;
(c) : HI test for H5/H7 : EUR 4 per test;
(d) : virus isolation test : EUR 30 per test.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Monetary Agreement of 17 December 2009 between the European Union and the Vatican City State, and in particular Article 8(3) thereof,

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas Council Directive 66/403/EEC (3), as last amended by Directive 88/380/EEC (4), provides in Article 13 (2) that Member States may be authorized, in respect of the marketing of seed potatoes in all or part of their territories, to take more stringent measures than provided for in Annex I to the Directive against particular virus diseases which do not exist in those regions or which appear particularly harmful to crops in those regions;
Whereas it has appeared that the scope of this provision should be extended to harmful organisms other than virus diseases;
Whereas Directive 66/403/EEC also provides in Article 15 (2) that, in principle, with effect from certain dates, Member States may no longer determine for themselves the equivalence of seed potatoes harvested in third countries with seed potatoes harvested within the Community and complying with that Directive;
Whereas, however, since work to establish Community equivalence for all the third countries concerned had not been completed, Article 15 (2a) of that Directive permitted Member States to extend to 31 March 1988 the period of validity of equivalence which they had already determined in respect of certain countries not covered by the Community equivalences;
Whereas the said work is still incomplete and another date should therefore be set in that respect,
Directive 66/403/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Article 13 (2), the first sentence is replaced by the following:
'The Commission, acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 19, shall, in respect of the marketing of seed potatoes in all or part of the territory of one or more Member States, authorize more stringent measures than those provided for in Annexes I and II to be taken against harmful organisms which do not exist in those regions or which appear particularly harmful to crops in those regions.'
2. In Article 15 (2a), '31 March 1988' is replaced by '31 March 1989'.

Whereas the Council has adopted Regulations (EEC) Nos 3635/87 (1). 3636/87 (2) and 3782/87 (3) concerning the scheme of generalized tariff preferences for 1988;
Whereas the Republic of Korea benefits from these generalized tariff preferences;
Whereas the scheme of generalized tariff preferences is an autonomous Community scheme;
Whereas the Republic of Korea does not treat the Community on an equal footing with other trade partners and whereas it has taken discriminatory measures in respect of the Community in the sphere of the protection of intellectual property; whereas therefore it is inappropriate that the Republic of Korea should benefit from the scheme of generalized tariff preferences as long as this situation continues;
Whereas, in order for it to be fully effective, this measure must take effect on the date on which the Regulations relating to the scheme of generalized preferences for 1988 come into force; whereas the measure should, however, not apply to goods in the process of being transported to the Commuity provided they were dispatched before 14 December 1987, the possibility of such a messure having been made known to traders in a communication contained in the Official Journal of the European Communities (4), 'C' series, of 12 December 1987,
The preferences granted by Regulations (EEC) Nos 3635/87, 3636/87 and 3782/87 shall be suspended for products originating in the Republic of Korea.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1988.
It shall not apply to goods in respect of which proof is furnished that they were dispatched to the Community before 14 December 1987.

Whereas frosts of exceptional severity during the winter of 1986/87, particularly in the regions of Sicily, Apulia and Calabria, have seriously undermined the achievements to date and the state of progress of operations in hand;
Whereas some citrus fruit growers in regions particularly affected by frost have been prevented from starting on the conversion and restructuring operations provided for in the plan approved by the Commission; whereas, therefore, they should be given the requisite time to start those operations;
Whereas frost as destroyed trees already included in conversion schemes or new plantations established as a result of restructuring, trees included in operations which are still in hand, and a proportion of young citrus seedlings in the nurseries; whereas, in some cases, work under new schemes must be recommenced; whereas, therefore, the aid granted in respect of these operations must be adjusted to take account of the damage;
Whereas, in order to remedy the situation created by the frost, provision should be made for an emergency measure, involving a two-year extension of the deadline and subsequent adjustments to the plan implemented in Italy for the regions of Sicily, Apulia and Calabria,
Regulation (EEC) No 2511/69 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 1 is amended as follows:
(a) the following subparagraph is added to paragraph 4:
'In Italy, for the regions of Sicily, Apulia and Calabria:
(a) the aids referred to in the first subparagraph of paragraph 1 and in paragraph 3 may be granted in respect of operations as referred to in paragraph 1 (a), (c) and (d) on which a start has been made up to 30 June 1991, where citrus plantations were damaged by frost during the winter of 1986/87;
(b) in the case of citrus plantations which were the subject, up to the winter of 1986/87, of operations as referred to in paragraph 1 (a), (c) and (d), the aids referred to in the first subparagraph of paragraph 1 and in paragraph 3 may be granted again where such operations must be recommenced as a result of the winter frosts in question and up to 30 June 1991.';
(b) paragraph 5 is replaced by the following:
'5. The aids for the schemes referred to in the first subparagraph of paragraph 4 and in point (b) of the second subparagraph of paragraph 4 shall be eligible under the EAGGF only where the surface area of citrus trees damaged by frost represents at least 20 % of the area of the holding on which citrus trees were grown prior to the frost.';
2. in Article 2:
(a) the first sentence of the third paragraph is replaced by the following:
'The Member States concerned shall, by 30 April 1983 at the latest and for the implementation of the provisions laid down in the first subparagraph of Article 1 (4) by 31 December 1988 at the latest for Greece, and for those laid down in the second subparagraph of that Article not later than 31 July 1989 for Italy, draw up a plan to include the measures which they consider most suitable for carrying out the work referred to in Article 1 or adjust existing plans.';
(b) in the fifth paragraph, 'Article 1 (4) and (5)' is replaced by 'the first subparagraph of Article 1 (4) and point (b) of the second subparagraph of Article 1 (4) and Article 1 (5)';

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.
(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of the preparation set out in the Annex. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of that Regulation.
(3) The application concerns a new use of the preparation of endo-1,4-beta xylanase EC 3.2.1.8 produced by Bacillus subtilis (LMG S-15136), as a feed additive for ducks, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.
(4) The method of analysis included in the application for authorisation in accordance with Article 7(3)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 concerns the determination of the active substance of the feed additive in feed. The method of analysis referred to in the Annex to this Regulation is therefore not to be understood as a Community method of analysis within the meaning of Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on official controls performed to ensure the verification of compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules (2).
(5) The use of endo-1,4-beta xylanase EC 3.2.1.8 produced by Bacillus subtilis (LMG S-15136) was authorised without a time limit for piglets (weaned) by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1206/2005 (3) and for chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1259/2004 (4). New data were submitted in support of an application for authorisation for ducks. The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinion of 15 June 2006 (5) that the safety of this additive for the consumer, the user and the environment have already been established and will not be changed by the proposed new use. It further concluded, that the use of the preparation does not have an adverse effect on this additional animal category and that the use of that preparation can improve the zootechnical parameters in ducks. 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.
(6) The assessment of that preparation shows that the conditions for authorisation, provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised, as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘digestibility enhancers’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
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 |

Whereas Article 1 of the Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes - Common system of value added tax : uniform basis of assessment (3) lays down 1 January 1978 as the latest date for the implementation of its provisions in Member States;
Whereas Directive 77/388/EEC lays down common provisions for all fields covered by value added tax ; whereas, in many cases, it is incumbent upon the Member States to determine the conditions under which these provisions shall apply ; whereas, since the scope of Directive 77/388/EEC is so wide as to encompass a very large number of national regulations, several Member States have been unable to carry out the necessary adaptions in time to comply with Directive 77/388/EEC ; whereas these Member States have thus been unable to complete the legislative procedure necessary to adapt their legislation on value added tax within the time limit laid down;
Whereas the Member States concerned have requested an extension of the time limit for the entry into force of Directive 77/388/EEC ; whereas in this context an extension for a maximum of 12 months should be sufficient,
By way of derogation from Article 1 of Directive 77/388/EEC, Denmark, Germany, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands are hereby authorized to implement the said Directive by 1 January 1979 at the latest.

Whereas these measures are not necessary where a non-reusable sealing system is used;
Whereas in the interest of a uniform application of the relevant Community provisions, it should be established that certain current sealing systems are "non-reusable sealing systems";
Whereas it is understood that the system now used exclusively in the case of cereal seed is one the use of which should show a tendency to decrease in favour of new systems offering greater guarantees of effectiveness and should be reconsidered after five years;

1. It is hereby established that the sealing systems of the following packages are "non-reusable sealing systems" within the meaning of Article 10 (1) of Directive 66/400/EEC, Article 9 (1) of Directive 66/401/EEC, Article 9 (1) of Directive 66/402/EEC, Article 9 (1) of Directive 69/208/EEC and Article 25 (1) of Directive 70/458/EEC: (a) paper or plastic bags, provided that they have no opening other than the filling device and that the filling device is equipped with a self-adhesive or heat-sealing system closing the filling device after filling in such a way that it cannot be opened without damage;

Whereas in view of establishing these lists, an evaluation of the real risk of the spread of serious transmissible diseases or of the diseases transmissible to man must be carried out; whereas this evaluation has been carried out and it is therefore possible to draw up the different lists of third countries necessary for the imports of the products in question which could be based, in particular, on Council Decision 79/542/EEC (2) as last amended by Commission Decision 94/59/EC (3);
Whereas certain products do not show any risk for animal or public health; whereas it is therefore possible to authorize imports of these products from any third country;

(93/13/EEC)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/675/EEC laying down the principles governing the organization of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (1), as last amended by Decision 92/438/EEC (2), and in particular Article 4 (6), Article 8 (3), Article 10 (2), Article 11 (7), Article 14 (3), Article 16 (4) and Article 18 (1) thereof,
Whereas the principles underlying the organization of documentary, identity and physical checks, as well as the follow-up to such checks have been laid down; whereas it is now necessary to adopt additional measures in order to establish a reliable harmonized procedure and set up the new arrangements for veterinary checks on products from third countries;
Whereas documentary and identity checks are based on a comparison between the information transmitted by the importer and the products imported into the Community and must be carried out according to certain rules; whereas physical checks on such products must also meet certain requirements, and the type and results of checks must be mentioned on a certificate;
Whereas, therefore, the proper functioning of the new arrangements requires that all information on a product be brought together in a document based on a given model;
Whereas the routing of products which may be accepted only for uses other than human consumption should be carried out within the framework of an appropriate existing Community procedure;
Whereas certain veterinary checks are not carried out on products carried in the luggage of travellers and intended for their consumption, or sent in small consignments addressed to individuals; whereas a maximum weight limit should nevertheless be fixed for products subject to such derogations;

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, hereinafter referred to as 'the Act', and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 303 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 464/91 (2), and in particular Articles 13 (2) and 16 (7) and the second subparagraph of Article 39 thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to the first and second subparagraphs of Article 303 of the Act, the maximum quantities of raw sugar to be imported at a reduced levy from certain ACP States, together with the relevant periods of application in order to supply the Portuguese refineries, have been determined by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 600/86 (3);
Whereas the third subparagraph of Article 303 of the Act provides in particular that, where, during the specified periods of application, the Community forward estimate for raw sugar for a given marketing year or part thereof shows that the availability of raw sugar is insufficient to ensure adequate supply of Portuguese refineries, Portugal may be authorized to import from third countries under the marketing year or part thereof concerned, the quantities which it is estimated are lacking, under the same conditions regarding the reduced levy as those provided for in respect of the quantities to be imported from the ACP States in question; whereas the forward estimate, for the period from 1 July 1991 to 30 June 1992, of Community raw sugar available for refining does not at this stage enable the quantities that the Portuguese refineries are lacking to be determined with any accuracy; whereas to ensure adequate supplies in these circumstances there should be fixed as a first step a quantity to be imported from third countries at a reduced levy for a specified period enabling the actual availabilities of Community raw sugar, particularly as regards the production of the French overseas department of RĂŠunion, to be known accurately and therefore to be able to fix as a second step the final quantities lacking;
Whereas, in order to ensure sound management of the markets in the sector and, in particular, effective control of operations, it is necessary firstly to apply to the sugar concerned the normal rules for performance of the customs formalities for import and, secondly, to provide for notification by Portugal of the quantities of raw sugar imported and refined within the meaning of this Decision;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
Portugal is hereby authorized to import from third countries during the period 1 July 1991 to 29 February 1992 a quantity of raw sugar not exceeding the equivalent of 60 000 tonnes of white sugar, at the reduced levy determined in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 600/86.
1. The import licences for the raw sugar referred to in Article 1 shall be valid from the date of issue until 30 June 1992.
2. The application for the licence referred to in paragraph 1 must be made to the competent authority in Portugal, during the 1991/92 marketing year, and must be accompanied by a declaration from a refiner in which he undertakes to refine the quantity of raw sugar concerned in Portugal within six months following the month in which the customs import formalities take place.
Except in cases of force majeure if the sugar in question is not refined within the prescribed time limit the importer must pay an amount equal to the difference between the threshold price and the intervention price for raw sugar applicable on the day of acceptance of the import declaration concerned.
In cases of force majeure, the competent authority in Portugal shall adopt the measures that it considers necessary, in the light of the circumstances worked by the interested party.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament;
Whereas Council Regulation No 79/65/EEC (1) of 15 June 1965 setting up a network for the collection of accountancy data on the incomes and business operation of agricultural holdings in the European Economic Community, as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2835/72 (2), provides, in particular, for the use of accountancy data, the product of such said network, delimits the field of survey thereof and determines the number of returning holdings which it covers;
Whereas it is opportune to extend the use of such accountancy data;
Whereas the experience gained during the first few years of operation of the data network shows the need to define the limits of the field of survey in such manner that only such holdings as are sufficiently large to enable accounting systems to reflect them should be included;
Whereas, in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2835/72 the data network currently covers 13 600 returning holdings ; whereas the number of returning holdings must in future be properly representative of all agricultural holdings in the field of survey;
Whereas representation based on approximately 1 % of the total number of agricultural holdings in that field is a minimum that should be attained as quickly as possible ; whereas, consequently, the number of returning holdings needs to be increased;
Whereas the increase in the number of returning holdings must be phased gradually over several years in order to allow the national and regional authorities within the data network to carry out this extension smoothly,
The following shall be substituted for Article 1 (3) of Regulation No 79/65/EEC:
"The data obtained pursuant to this Regulation shall, in particular, serve primarily as the basis for the drawing up of reports by the Commission on the situation of agriculture and of agricultural markets as well as on farm incomes in the Community ; the reports are to be submitted annually to the Council and the European Parliament, in particular for the annual fixing of prices of agricultural produce."
The following shall be substituted for Article 4 (1) and (2) of Regulation No 79/65/EEC:
"1. The field of survey referred to in Article 1 (2) (a) shall cover those agricultural holdings, which: - are run as market-oriented holdings,
- provide the main occupation of the operator, (1)OJ No 109, 23.6.1965, p. 1859/65. (2)OJ No L 298, 31.12.1972, p. 47.
- ensure the employment, per year, of at least one worker (1 man-work unit) ; this threshold may, however, be reduced in the case of a Member State to 0 775 man-work units in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 19.
2. For the accounting years beginning in the year 1973 and 1974, the number of retaining holdings shall be 13 600. This number shall be increased gradually at the beginning of each of the financial years commencing during the period 1975 to 1978 so as to attain eventually the number of 28 000 returning holdings."
The following shall be substituted for Article 23 of Regulation No 79/65/EEC:
"Before 1 January 1980 the Commission shall submit to the Council a full report on the operation of the data network together with any proposal for amending this Regulation, as appropriate."
The list of divisions referred to in Article 2 (d) of Regulation No 79/65/EEC shall be replaced, as regards Italy, by the list annexed hereto.

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 Picardie; 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 Picardie 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:

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 122,4 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 222 million for the public sector and ECU 85 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 98,839 million,
- ESF:ECU 23,561 million.
2. The budgetary commitments for the first instalment are as follows:
- ERDF:ECU 31,416 million,
- ESF:ECU 7,489 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.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 43 and 227 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas pursuant to the first subparagraph of Article 227 (2) of the Treaty, the common organization of the market in rice applies to the French overseas departments ; whereas import levies are considered as own resources of the Community;
Whereas no rice is cultivated in the overseas department of Reunion ; whereas this department is therefore completely dependent on imports;
Whereas rice constitutes the basic foodstuff of the least favoured categories of the population of Reunion ; whereas per capita consumption considerably exceeds that of the Community ; whereas the supply situation should be improved by the introduction of special arrangements for rice for local consumption;
Whereas import levies should therefore no longer be applied in the overseas department of Reunion;
Whereas the threshold price for milled rice includes a component for the protection of the industry which is currently fixed at 11 750 units of account per tonne ; whereas, in order to continue to protect the industry established in Reunion, a levy equal to the amount of this protection component should be maintained;
Whereas rice imported into Reunion comes not only from third countries but also from Member States ; whereas, in the interests of equal treatment and Community preference, rice from the Member States should enjoy an advantage corresponding to that accorded to rice from third countries ; whereas this must imply a subsidy equal to the amount of the levy;
Whereas the expenditure incurred by the Member States as a result of their obligations under Council Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 of 21 June 1976 on the common organization of the market in rice (2), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1158/77 (3), are financed by the Guarantee Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund pursuant to Articles 2 and 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2788/72 (5) ; whereas provision should therefore be made for the Community to finance the subsidy for rice from the Member States,
The following Article shall be added to Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76:
"Article 11a 1. This Article shall apply to products intended for consumption in the French overseas department of Reunion.
2. By way of derogation from Article 11 (1) (a), (b), (c), (d) and (i), no levy shall be charged on imports of products falling within subheadings 10.06 A and C in the French overseas department of Reunion.
3. By way of derogation from Article 11 (1) (e), (f), (g) and (h), the levy to be charged on imports of products falling within subheading 10.06 B in the French overseas department of Reunion shall be equal to the amount for the protection of the industry referred to in Article 14 (3).
4. For deliveries to the French overseas department of Reunion of products falling within heading No 10.06 from the Member States and covered by one of the situations referred to in Article 9 (2) of the Treaty, a subsidy shall be granted, on application, which is equal to the levy applicable to the product concerned. However, for products falling within subheading 10.06 B, this subsidy shall be reduced by the amount for the protection of the industry referred to in paragraph 3. (1)Opinion delivered on 17 March 1978 (not yet published in the Official Journal). (2)OJ No L 166, 25.6.1976, p. 1. (3)OJ No L 136, 2.6.1977, p. 13. (4)OJ No L 94, 28.4.1970, p. 13.

Whereas in order to facilitate declarations concerning the customs value of goods and the verification by the customs authorities of those declarations, the percentages of air transport costs to be included in the customs value, according
to the various airports of departure and destination, have already been fixed in Regulation (EEC) N° 3579/85 (3);
Whereas the territory of the former German Democratic Republic is now part of the customs territory of the Community; whereas it is therefore necessary, in so far as airports of destination are concerned, to include in the table of percentages the airports situated in this territory;

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1), and in particular Article 33(12) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2388/84 of 14 August 1984 on special detailed rules for the application of export refunds in the case of certain preserved beef and veal products (2) lays down the conditions under which preserved meat falling within CN codes 1602 50 31 and 1602 50 39 which is exported to third countries may be eligible for a special refund.
(2) In particular, those preserved products must be manufactured under the arrangements provided for in Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 565/80 of 4 March 1980 on the advance payment of export refunds in respect of agricultural products (3).
(3) The rules and conditions for applying the advance payment of the refund on products processed under the arrangements provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 565/80 are laid down in Chapter 3 of Title II of Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 of 15 April 1999 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural products (4).
(4) The measures laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 565/80, the corresponding implementing measures laid down by Chapter 3 of Title II of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 and Regulation (EEC) No 2388/84 have been repealed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1713/2006.
(5) It is also laid down that, in order to benefit from an export refund, the abovementioned preserved products must be produced from beef and veal of Community origin and contain a minimum percentage of beef and veal, excluding offal and fat.
(6) To guarantee that the preserved products eligible for export refunds are produced solely from beef and veal, and that the meat is of Community origin, such production must be kept under the control of the customs authority in accordance with Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (5) and the payment of the refund must remain linked to compliance with those conditions.
(7) To increase the transparency and effectiveness of those controls, particularly in the case of a post-clearance check, provision should be made for operators to keep up-to-date records of information allowing monitoring of the use of beef and veal in the production of preserved products according to the production batches of preserved products.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,

COUNCIL DECISION
of 19 January 2010
on the existence of an excessive deficit in Belgium
(2010/283/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and, in particular, Article 126(6) in conjunction with Article 126(13) and Article 136 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the observations made by Belgium,
Whereas:
(1) According to Article 126(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Member States shall avoid excessive government deficits.
(2) The Stability and Growth Pact is based on the objective of sound government finances as a means of strengthening the conditions for price stability and for strong sustainable growth conducive to employment creation.
(3) The excessive deficit procedure (EDP) under Article 126 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, as clarified by Council Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 of 7 July 1997 on speeding up and clarifying the implementation of the excessive deficit procedure (1) (which is part of the Stability and Growth Pact), provides for a decision on the existence of an excessive deficit. Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 also establishes provisions for the implementation of Article 104 of the Treaty establishing the European Community, which has become Article 126 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. The Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure annexed to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union sets out further provisions relating to the implementation of the EDP. Council Regulation (EC) No 479/2009 (2) lays down detailed rules and definitions for the application of the provisions of that Protocol.
(4) The 2005 reform of the Stability and Growth Pact sought to strengthen its effectiveness and economic underpinnings as well as to safeguard the sustainability of the public finances in the long run. It aimed at ensuring that, in particular, the economic and budgetary background was taken into account fully in all steps in the EDP. In this way, the Stability and Growth Pact provides the framework supporting government policies for a prompt return to sound budgetary positions taking account of the economic situation.
(5) Article 104(5) of the Treaty establishing the European Community, which has become Article 126(5) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, required the Commission to address an opinion to the Council if the Commission considered that an excessive deficit in a Member State existed or might occur. Having taken into account its report in accordance with Article 104(3) of the Treaty establishing the European Community, which has become Article 126(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Financial Committee in accordance with Article 104(4) of the Treaty establishing the European Community, which has become Article 126(4) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, the Commission concluded that an excessive deficit existed in Belgium. The Commission therefore addressed such an opinion to the Council in respect of Belgium on 11 November 2009 (3).
(6) Article 126(6) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union states that the Council should consider any observations which the Member State concerned may wish to make before deciding, after an overall assessment, whether an excessive deficit exists. In the case of Belgium, this overall assessment leads to the conclusions set out in this Decision.
(7) According to data notified by the Belgian authorities in October 2009, the general government deficit in Belgium is planned to reach 5,9 % of GDP in 2009, thus exceeding and not close to the 3 % of GDP reference value. The planned excess over the reference value can be qualified as exceptional within the meaning of the Treaty and the Stability and Growth Pact. In particular, it results, among other things, from a severe economic downturn in the sense of the Treaty and the Stability and Growth Pact. In the Commission services’ autumn 2009 forecast, GDP is projected to decrease by 2,9 % in 2009 and to expand by 0,6 % in 2010. Furthermore, also on the basis of the autumn 2009 forecast, the planned excess over the reference value cannot be considered temporary, since the deficit is expected to stabilise at 5,8 % of GDP in 2010 and 2011, taking into account the already sufficiently specified consolidation measures. The deficit criterion in the Treaty is not fulfilled.
(8) General government gross debt has been continuously declining from 134 % of GDP in 1993 to 84 % of GDP in 2007. In 2008, the operations to stabilise the financial sector led to an increase in the debt-to-GDP ratio to almost 90 %. Hence, the ratio remained well above the 60 % reference value. According to data notified by the Belgian authorities in October 2009, the general government gross debt is planned to stand at 97,6 % of GDP in 2009. The Commission services’ autumn 2009 forecast projects the debt ratio to increase to around 97 % in 2009, 101 % in 2010 and 104 % in 2011. The debt ratio cannot be considered as diminishing sufficiently and approaching the reference value at a satisfactory pace within the meaning of the Treaty and the Stability and Growth Pact. The debt criterion in the Treaty is not fulfilled.
(9) According to Article 2(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1467/97, ‘relevant factors’ can only be taken into account in the steps leading to the Council decision on the existence of an excessive deficit in accordance with Article 126(6) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union if the double condition — that the deficit remains close to the reference value and that its excess over the reference value is temporary — is fully met. In the case of Belgium, this double condition is not met. Therefore, relevant factors are not taken into account in the steps leading to this Decision,
From an overall assessment it follows that an excessive deficit exists in Belgium.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Belgium. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1764/2005
of 27 October 2005
fixing the rates of refunds applicable to certain products from the sugar sector exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
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 the sugar sector (1), and in particular Article 27(5)(a) and (15) thereof,
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.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 of 30 June 2005 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 as regards the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (2), specifies the products for which a rate of refund is to be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001.
(3) In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question is to be fixed each month.
(4) Article 27(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 lays down that the export refund for a product contained in goods may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing.
(5) 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.
(6) 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.
(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 I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 and in Article 1(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, and exported in the form of goods listed in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, shall be fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 28 October 2005.

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 established, with effect from 1 January 1988, a combined goods nomenclature based on the harmonized system which will meet the requirements of the Customs Tariff and the nomenclature of goods for the external trade statistics of the Community;
