of 6 July 1992
reintroducing the levying of the customs duties applicable to products of CN code 3923 21 00 originating in China, to which the preferential arrangements of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3831/90 apply
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3831/90 of 20 December 1990 applying generalized tariff preferences for 1991 in respect of certain industrial products originating in developing countries (1), extended into 1992 by Regulation (EEC) No 3587/91 (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Articles 1 and 6 of that Regulation, suspension of customs duties is accorded for 1992 to each of the countries or territories listed in Annex III other than those listed in column 4 of Annex I, within the framework of the preferential tariff ceilings fixed in column 6 of Annex I; whereas Article 7 of that Regulation provides that the levying of customs duties on imports of the products in question originating in each of the countries and territories concerned may at any time be reintroduced as soon as the individual ceilings in question are reached at Community level;

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2309/97 of 17 November 1997 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 42 and 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 (3) provides for the grant to producers of durum wheat in traditional production zones of a supplement to the compensatory payment referred to in Title I of that Regulation, in order to offset the extra loss of income to the producers in question, by comparison with producers of other cereals arising from the fixing of a single price for all cereals; whereas the special supplement is restricted to areas down to durum wheat in the traditional zones;
Whereas the process of determining the number of hectares eligible for the supplement to the compensatory payment granted to individual durum wheat producers in traditional production zones has made it necessary to establish a national register of such producers; whereas the introduction of such a register makes it difficult to adjust the structure of durum wheat production to the market situation; whereas the special scheme for durum wheat production aid should therefore be modified;
Whereas a means should be found to ensure that the adjustment produces a durum wheat production level which is sufficient to supply user industries while keeping budgetary expenditure in check; whereas that objective can be achieved by introducing, for each Member State concerned, a maximum area of durum wheat eligible for the supplement covering all the zones eligible for the supplement to the compensatory payment, as referred to in Annexes II and III to Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92; whereas that maximum area should be fixed on the basis of the largest area which received the supplement to the compensatory payment since its introduction, in order to correspond best to production in the Member States concerned; whereas, in the case of Spain, a maximum guaranteed area has already been fixed at 570 000 hectares by Regulation (EC) No 3116/94 (4), i.e. at a level that corresponds best to production in that Member State, whereas, in the case of Portugal, a maximum guaranteed area has already been fixed at 35 000 hectares by Regulation (EC) No 3116/94 in order to reflect best the production potential in that Member State, in view of the existence of a special degressive aid granted to producers of common wheat by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3653/90 of 11 December 1990, introducing transitional measures governing the common organization of the market in cereals and rice in Portugal (5); whereas, in the case of Italy, in view of the size of the area concerned, account should be taken of the land traditionally down to durum wheat that was taken out of cultivation during the reference period under five-year set-aside arrangements in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 950/97 of 20 May 1997 on improving the efficiency of agricultural structures (6); whereas the levels of those areas should also be increased to reflect the need to ensure the regular supply of the Community meal industry, in view, in particular, of the unpredictable climatic conditions affecting the traditional production zones; whereas, in order to remain within budgetary limits, the increase in maximum guaranteed areas must be coupled with a reduction in the amount of the supplement;
Whereas any overshoot of those areas must lead to an adjustment in the applications submitted with a view to the grant of the supplement to the compensatory payment;
Whereas, moreover, in some Member States the production of durum wheat is well established in regions outside traditional zones; whereas it is desirable to safeguard a certain level of production in those regions by the grant of special aid;
Whereas Annexes II and III to Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 should be combined in a single Annex for the sake of clarity;
Whereas it is necessary to ensure that the areas in receipt of special aid for durum wheat produce wheat which satisfies the demands of user industries; whereas this may be achieved by requiring that certified seed be used;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 should be amended accordingly,
Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Article 4, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 shall be replaced by the following:
'3. A supplement to the compensatory payment of ECU 344,5 per hectare shall be paid for the area down to durum wheat in the traditional production zones listed in Annex II, subject to the limits fixed in Annex III.
Should the total of the areas for which a supplement to the compensatory payment is claimed be greater than the limit referred to above during the course of a marketing year, the area per producer for which the supplement may be paid shall be reduced proportionately.
However, subject to the limits per Member State laid down in Annex III, Member States may distribute the areas indicated in that Annex among the production zones as defined in Annex II, or, if necessary, the production regions referred to in Article 3, according to the extent of the production of durum wheat during the period 1993 to 1997. Where this is done, should the total of the areas within a region for which a supplement to the compensatory payment is requested be greater than the corresponding regional limit during the course of a marketing year, the area per producer in that production region for which the supplement may be paid shall be reduced proportionately. The reduction shall be made when, within a Member State, the areas in regions which have not reached their regional limits have been distributed to regions in which those limits have been exceeded.
4. In regions where the production of durum wheat is well established, other than those referred to in Annex II, special aid amounting to ECU 138,9 per hectare shall be granted up to a limit of the number of hectares laid down in Annex IIIa.`
2. In Article 12, the fifth indent shall be replaced by the following:
'- those determining, for durum wheat, the eligibility requirements for the supplement to the compensatory payment referred to in Article 4 (3) and the eligibility requirements for the special aid referred to in Article 4 (4), and in particular determination of the regions to be taken into consideration and the measures to be taken in the event that the limit fixed for the payment of the aid is exceeded; those rules shall stipulate that the grant of the supplement provided for in Article 4 (3) and (4) be subject to the obligation to use certified seed.`
3. Annexes II and III shall be replaced by the corresponding texts in the Annex to this Regulation.
4. Annex IIIa, appearing in the Annex to this Regulation, shall be inserted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from the 1999/2000 crop year.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 967/2008
of 29 September 2008
amending Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 (1) has introduced rules for compulsory indications to be used on organic products, which, from 1 January 2009, includes the use of the Community logo on pre-packaged food, in accordance with Article 24(1)(b) of that Regulation.
(2) It has appeared that the Community logo in place pursuant to Annex V to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 of 24 June 1991 on organic production of agricultural products and indications referring thereto on agricultural products and foodstuffs (2) could be confused with other logos in place for protected geographical indications and protected designations of origin, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1898/2006 of 14 December 2006 laying down detailed rules of implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (3) and the logo for traditional specialities guaranteed, defined by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1216/2007 of 18 October 2007 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 509/2006 on agricultural products and foodstuffs as traditional specialities guaranteed (4).
(3) It is important for the perception of consumers to ensure an informative labelling with a distinctive and appealing Community logo, which symbolises organic production and clearly identifies the products. The design of such a Community logo requires a certain time period to be developed and to be made known to the public.
(4) In order to avoid unnecessary financial and organisational burdens on operators, the compulsory use of the Community logo should be postponed for the time needed to create the new Community logo. This decision does not prevent operators from using, on a voluntary basis, the current logo defined in Annex V to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly,
The following paragraph shall be added to Article 42 of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007:
‘However, Article 24(1)(b) and (c) shall apply as from 1 July 2010.’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) 3492/93 of 13 December 1993 on certain procedures for applying the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Poland, of the other part (2), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 520/92 of 27 February 1992 on certain procedures for applying the Interim Agreement on trade and trade-related matters between the European Economic Community and the European Coal and Steel Community, of the one part, and the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic, of the other part (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2235/93 (4), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 3 (6) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 358/94 of 17 February 1994 opening for 1994 and laying down detailed rules for the application of an import quota for live bovine animals weighing between 160 and 300 kilograms, originating in and coming from the Republic of Hungary, the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic (5), the Member States have notified the Commission that import licences have not been issued in respect of 146 head;
Whereas, when notifying the Commission of the quantities applied for pursuant to Article 3 (3) of that Regulation, the French authorities omitted to forward figures concerning several applications;
Whereas, since the operators concerned are not responsible for the mistakes made and with a view to ensuring the proper administration of this Community import quota, the remaining quantities should be allocated to the operators whose applications were not notified; whereas, since the remaining quantities are less than the quantities applied for, the latter should be reduced proportionately;
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 358/94 applies to licences issued under this Decision;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
Under the Community tariff quota for live animals of the bovine species weighing between 160 and 300 kilograms provided for in Regulation (EC) No 358/94, the quantities in respect of which import licences have not been issued, namely 146 head, shall be allocated, by way of a derogation from Article 3 (6) of that Regulation, as follows:
1. 37 head for the Comptoir des Viandes de l'Est;
2. 37 head for the company Copival;
3. 72 head for the company Gilbert Meyer.
The import licences for the quantities referred to in Article 1 may be issued from the day of notification of this Decision.

| Commission Regulation (EC) No 346/2002
of 25 February 2002
opening crisis distillation as provided for in Article 30 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 for table wine in Italy
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2585/2001(2), and in particular Articles 30 and 33 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 provides for the possibility of opening crisis distillation in the event of exceptional market disturbance due to major surpluses. Such measures may be limited to certain categories of wine and/or certain areas of production and may apply to quality wines psr at the request of the Member State.
(2) By letter of 17 January 2002, the Italian Government requested that crisis distillation be opened for table wine produced in Italy. Further information was forwarded on 31 January 2002.
(3) Production of table wine in Italy was high during the 1998/99, 1999/2000 and 2000/01 wine years (43,92 million hl, 45,2 million hl and 41,2 million hl respectively). The latest production estimates for the 2001/02 wine year put table wine production at 38,7 million hl.
(4) Large stocks of table wine have built up. They stood at 18,3 million hl at the start of the 1998/99 wine year, climbed to 22,5 million hl in early 2000/01 and reached 24 million hl at 31 July 2001.
(5) In addition to this factor there are changes in external trade. Imports of table wine have risen during the current wine year as a result of bumper harvests in certain other Member States.
(6) This situation has had a negative impact on prices, which have fallen by about 11 % on average for red wine since the start of the 1999/2000 wine year and by 14 % for white wine. In addition, the price variation is very unevenly spread over the regions, and in some regions prices are below the average.
(7) The crisis distillation measure decided during the 2000/01 wine year has definitely had a positive effect in terms of stabilising prices for a period, but it has proved insufficient when set against the large increase in stocks, which are depressing the market and preventing a return to balance.
(8) In order to reverse this negative trend in prices and sales, stocks of table wine should be reduced to a level that can be regarded as normal in terms of covering market requirements, and so deal with the difficult situation on the market. Stocks that have built up over the last two years must be reduced to a reasonable level, reflecting more normal consumption requirements.
(9) Since the conditions laid down in Article 30(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 are satisfied, a crisis distillation measure should be opened for a maximum of 4 million hl of table wine. The measure should apply for a limited period with a view to maximum effectiveness. No ceiling should be set on the quantity that individual producers can have distilled because stocks may vary substantially from one producer to another and they depend more on sales than on the individual producer's annual output.
(10) The mechanism to be introduced is that provided for in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 of 25 July 2000 laying down detailed rules for implementing Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine with regard to market mechanisms(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2464/2001(4). In addition to the Articles of that Regulation that refer to the distillation measure provided for in Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999, other provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 apply, in particular those concerning the delivery of alcohol to intervention agencies and the payment of advances.
(11) The price distillers must pay producers should be set at a level that permits the problems faced to be dealt with by allowing producers to take advantage of the possibility afforded by this measure. That price should not, however, be such that it adversely affects the application of distillation under Article 29 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999.
(12) The product of crisis distillation must be raw or neutral alcohol only, for compulsory delivery to the intervention agency in order to avoid disturbing the market for potable alcohol, which is supplied largely by distillation under Article 29 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999.
(13) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
Crisis distillation as provided for in Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 is hereby opened for a maximum of 4 million hectolitres of table wine in Italy.
In addition to the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 referring to Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999, the following provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 shall apply to the measure provided for herein:
- Article 62(5) as regards payment by the intervention agency of the price as referred to in Article 6(2) of this Regulation,
- Articles 66 and 67 as regards advances as provided for in Article 6(2) of this Regulation.
Producers may conclude contracts as provided for in Article 65 of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 from 4 to 22 March 2002. Contracts shall be accompanied by proof that a security equal to EUR 5 per hectolitre has been lodged. Contracts may not be transferred.
1. The Member State shall determine the rate of reduction to be applied to the above contracts where the overall quantity covered by contracts presented exceeds that laid down in Article 1.
2. The Member State shall take the administrative steps necessary to approve the above contracts by 10 May 2002 at the latest, shall specify the rate of reduction applied and the quantity of wine accepted per contract and shall stipulate that the producer may cancel the contract where the quantity to be distilled is reduced. The Member State shall notify the Commission before 31 May 2002 of the quantities of such wine covered by approved contracts.
3. The wine must be delivered to the distilleries by 31 July 2002 at the latest. The alcohol obtained must be delivered to the intervention agency by 31 December 2002 at the latest.
4. Securities shall be released in proportion to the quantities delivered where the producer provides proof of delivery to the distillery.
5. The security shall be forfeit where no delivery is made within the time limit laid down.
6. The Member State may limit the number of contracts that individual producers may conclude under this distillation measure.
The minimum price paid for wine delivered for distillation under this Regulation shall be EUR 1,914/% vol/hl.
1. Distillers shall deliver the product obtained from distillation to the intervention agency. That product shall be of an alcoholic strength of at least 92 % vol.
2. The price the intervention agency must pay distillers for raw alcohol delivered shall be EUR 2,2812/% vol/hl. Distillers may receive an advance of EUR 1,1222/% vol/hl on that amount. The advance shall in that case be deducted from the price actually paid.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 4 March 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 761/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 March 2001 allowing voluntary participation by organisations in a Community eco-management and audit scheme (EMAS) (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 8(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The EMAS logo indicates to the public and other interested parties that the EMAS-registered organisation has established an environmental management system in compliance with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 761/2001.
(2) The EMAS logo may not be used on products or their packaging, or in conjunction with comparative claims concerning other products, activities or services. However, as a part of the evaluation provided for in Article 15(3) of Regulation (EC) No 761/2001, the Commission is to consider under which exceptional circumstances the EMAS logo may be used.
(3) Certain EMAS-registered organisations have manifested an interest in using the EMAS logo on their transport packaging or tertiary packaging, as an effective way of communicating environmental information to stakeholders.
(4) The evaluation, carried out pursuant to Article 15(3) of Regulation (EC) No 761/2001 by the Commission in cooperation with the Member States, of the use, recognition and interpretation of the logo concluded that the case of transport packaging and tertiary packaging, as defined in Directive 94/62/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 1994 on packaging and packaging waste (2), is an exceptional circumstance as envisaged by Article 8(3) of Regulation (EC) No 761/2001, given that such packaging is not directly related to the products and therefore the use of the EMAS logo on such packaging is permissible.
(5) Moreover, in order to ensure that there is no possibility for confusion with environmental product labels and to clearly communicate to the public and other interested parties that the use of the logo is not related in any way to the products or characteristics of product embodied by the transport packaging or tertiary packaging but to the environmental management system applied by the registered organisation, additional information should be added to the logo.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 761/2001,
EMAS registered organisations may use the two versions of the EMAS logo set out in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 761/2001 on their transport packaging or tertiary packaging within the meaning of Article 3(1) of Directive 94/62/EC.
In such cases, the EMAS logo shall be complemented by the following text: ‘[Name of the EMAS-registered organisation] is an organisation registered under the Community Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS)’.

Whereas the annual quota volume for the period from 1 July 1993 to 30 June 1994 has been fixed at 224 827 hectolitres of pure alcohol; whereas this volume is to be increased by 10 000 hectolitres of pure alcohol for the second six months of 1994 and of 10 000 hectolitres or pure alcohol for the first six months of 1995; whereas the annual quota volume for the period 1 July 1994 to 30 June 1995 has been fixed at 224 827 hectolitres of pure alcohol;
Whereas equal and continuous access to the said quota should be ensured for all Community importers and the rates laid down for the quotas should be applied consistently to all imports of the products in question into all the Member States until the quota is exhausted; whereas the decision for the opening of triff quotas in fulfilment of its international obligations should be taken by the Community; whereas, to ensure the efficient common administration of these quotas, however, there is no obstacle to authorizing the Member States to draw from the quota volumes the necessary quantities correspondingh to actual imports; whereas, however, this method of administration requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must, in particular, be able to monitor the rate at which the quotas are used up and inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas measures should be laid down to ensure that Protocol 6 is implemented under conditions such as to permit the development of traditional trade flows between the ACP States and the Community, and between the Member States;

The tariff quota referred to in Article 1 shall be administered by the Commission, which may take all administrative measures to ensure the effective administration thereof.
If an importer presents in a Member State a declaration of entry for free circulation together with a request for preferential treatment for a product covered by this Regulation, and the declaration is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission and draw an amount corresponding to these requirements from the quota volume.
Requests to draw from the quota, indicating the date of acceptance of the said declarations, must be transmitted to the Commission without delay.

(2) Decision 2012/371/CFSP amends the scope of Decision 2010/656/CFSP in the light of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2045 (2012) and removes the restrictions on the supply of technical and financial assistance related to military activities. It also removes the restrictions on the supply of technical and financial assistance related to internal repression equipment.
(3) Those measures fall within the scope of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and, therefore, notably with a view to ensuring their uniform application by economic operators in all Member States, regulatory action at the level of the Union is necessary in order to implement them.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 174/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) In order to ensure that the measures provided for in this Regulation are effective, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication,

Whereas:
(1) In the light of the evolution of the bluetongue situation in 2003, Commission Decision 2003/218/EC of 27 March 2003 on protection and surveillance zones in relation to bluetongue and on rules applicable to movements of animals in and from those zones and repealing Decision 2001/783/EC(2) was adopted. That Decision provides for the establishment of areas according to the lower (section 1 of Annex I A, I B and I C) or higher (section 2 of Annex I A, I B and I C) level of risk observed. In view of the epidemiological situation and environmental factors, it is necessary to demarcate in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 8(2)(d) the whole of the areas where in each Member State concerned protection and surveillance zones shall be established, while providing the conditions applicable to the movements of animals derogating from the restrictions applicable pursuant to the higher or lower level of risk observed.
(2) As regards Italy, the surveillance programme has demonstrated seroconversion in Campobasso and Chieti provinces, indicating the presence of the bluetongue virus.
(3) Therefore these two provinces should be added to the protection and surveillance zones in Italy.
(4) In view of the level of virus circulation and the vaccination coverage in the provinces of Campobasso and Chieti, they should both be considered as lower risk areas and inserted in section 1 of Annex I B to Decision 2003/218/EC.
(5) Decision 2003/218/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I of Decision 2003/218/EC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision shall apply from 12 August 2003.

Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question are projectors; whereas their objective technical characteristics, such as the high shutter speed, and the use to which they are put make them specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities; whereas they must therefore be considered to be scientific apparatus;
Whereas, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of equivalent scientific value capable of use for the same purpose are not currently manufactured in the Community; whereas, therefore, duty-free admission of these apparatus is justified,
The apparatus described as 'LW - Photo-Optical Data Analyzer 16 mm, model 224-AMK VI' ordered on: 1. 27 October 1982, 2. 2 November 1982, 3. 14 December 1982, 4. 20 December 1982, 5. 28 April 1983, 6. 15 July 1983, which are the subject of an
application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 30 November 1983 may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Having regard to Council Decision 2009/470/EC of 25 May 2009 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), and in particular Article 4(2) and (3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 75 of the Financial Regulation and Article 90(1) of the Implementing Rules, the commitment of expenditure from the Union budget shall be preceded by a financing decision setting out the essential elements of the action involving expenditure and adopted by the institution or the authorities to which powers have been delegated by the institution.
(2) Decision 2009/470/EC lays down the procedures governing the financial contribution from the Union towards specific veterinary measures, including emergency measures. With a view to helping to eradicate avian influenza as rapidly as possible the Union should contribute financially to eligible expenditure borne by the Member States. Article 4(3) first and second indents of that Decision lays down rules on the percentage that must be applied to the costs incurred by the Member States.
(3) Commission Regulation (EC) No 349/2005 (2) lays down rules on the Community financing of emergency measures and of the campaign to combat certain animal diseases under Council Decision 90/424/EEC.

(4) Commission Decision 2008/441/EC of 4 June 2008 on a financial contribution from the Community towards emergency measures to combat avian influenza in Germany in 2007 (3) granted a financial contribution from the Union to Germany towards the costs incurred for the eradication of avian influenza. In accordance with that Decision, a first tranche of EUR 320 000,00 was paid.
(5) On 13 May and 25 July 2008, Germany submitted an official request for reimbursement as set out in Article 7(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 349/2005. On 9 February 2009, an audit ex ante was launched. The Commission’s final conclusions were communicated to Germany by letter dated 20 September 2010 and confirmed by letter dated 21 February 2011.
(6) The payment of the financial contribution from the Union must be subject to the condition that the planned activities were actually implemented and that the authorities provided all the necessary information within the set deadlines.
(7) The German authorities have fully complied with their technical and administrative obligations as set out in Article 4(1) of Decision 2009/470/EC and Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 349/2005.
(8) In view of the above considerations, the total amount of the financial contribution from the Union to the eligible expenditure incurred associated with the eradication of avian influenza in Germany in 2007 should now be fixed.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The financial contribution from the Union towards the expenditure associated with eradicating avian influenza in Germany in 2007 is fixed at EUR 1 141 550,98. It constitutes a financing decision in the meaning of Article 75 of the Financial Regulation.
The balance of the financial contribution is fixed at EUR 821 550,98.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 91/482/EEC of 25 July 1991 on the association of the overseas countries and territories with the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 109 thereof,
Having consulted the Committee set up by Article 1 (2) of Annex IV to Decision 91/482/EEC,
Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 304/97 (2) introduces safeguard measures in respect of imports of rice originating in the overseas countries and territories for the period from 1 January to 30 April 1997;
Whereas, at the end of the period of application of those measures, the serious disruption in the Community rice sector and the risk of a significant deterioration in that sector of economic activity have not been eliminated, in particular with regard to the level of Community prices, the need for significant amounts to be bought into intervention and the risk of a great reduction in land under Indica rice;
Whereas on 9 April 1997 the Commission accordingly decided that safeguard measures should be introduced;
Whereas, on the same date, the Italian Government applied to the Commission, pursuant to Article 109 of Decision 91/482/EEC for the extension of the safeguard measures in respect of imports of rice originating in the overseas countries and territories (hereinafter referred to as OCTs);
Whereas this rice, which is exempt from customs duty on import into the Community in accordance with Article 101 (1) of Decision 91/482/EEC is, as a result of the quantities involved, causing a disturbance on the Community market in rice, which has experienced a normal harvest of Indica rice in 1996/97 after two years of drought;
Whereas the Community has provided aid per hectare on a temporary basis to encourage Community producers to grow more Indica rice; whereas massive imports of rice from the OCTs under preferential conditions may undermine these attempts to diversify production, leading European producers initially to put large quantities into intervention and subsequently to return to growing Japonica rice, for which there is already a surplus; whereas, under those conditions, it is important to maintain producers' confidence during the sowing period;
Whereas the quantities of rice imported from the OCTs are likely to increase still further owing to the producer regions' unrealized potential;
Whereas, consequently, the threat of damage to a sector of the Community economy persists; whereas the application of safeguard measures to imports into the Community of rice from the OCTs should therefore be extended;
Whereas priority should be given to measures which would least disturb the functioning of the association of the OCTs and the Community, in accordance with Article 109 (2) of Decision 91/482/EEC; whereas such measures must, moreover, be limited to what is strictly necessary to remedy the difficulties that have arisen;
Whereas the maintenance of a tariff quota would guarantee OCT rice access to the Community market within limits compatible with the stability of that market while preserving preferential treatment for that product consistent with the objectives of Decision 91/482/EEC;
Whereas the quota should be opened for a period sufficient to achieve those objectives; whereas a period of application of five months from 1 May 1997, which would cover the last month of the current marketing year and the first month of the next, would meet those requirements; whereas interrupting those measures before the start of the new marketing year could gravely affect the stability of trade in products from the previous harvest and create a great deal of uncertainty at a time when the marketing forecasts for the new marketing year are being prepared; whereas a premature interruption of the measures would endanger the results achieved up to now;
Whereas the quota should be opened for a quantity of 59 610 tonnes of husked rice equivalent originating in the OCTs other than the least-developed OCTs, corresponding to the quantities imported over the years 1992 to 1995;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 110 of Decision 91/482/EEC, particular attention should be paid to the interests of the least-developed OCTs listed in Article 230 of that Decision; whereas those territories include Montserrat and the Turks and Caicos Islands;
Whereas the total available quantities should be allocated among the interested importers and speculation should be prevented; whereas the number of licence applications made daily by each importer for each origin should be restricted and provision should be made for the lodging by the importer concerned of an appropriate security so as to ensure correct performance of the import;
Whereas, with a view to guaranteeing proper administration of the measures, special rules should be laid down regarding the submission of applications and the issuing of licences; whereas those rules will either supplement or derogate from the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2350/96 (4);
Whereas, in the light of the experience obtained and the assessment made at the end of the period of application of the measures introduced in January 1997, it seems possible to extend, by derogation from Commission Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 of 23 May 1995 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1527/96 (6), the period of validity of import licences until the end of the third month following that in which they were actually issued, so as to allow importers better to organise their imports and avoid concentrating them too much, and to reduce the amount of the security applying to the certificate guaranteeing that importers' obligations are met;
Whereas this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication so as to prevent speculation,
1. Imports into the Community of rice originating in the OCTs falling within CN code 1006 and benefiting from exemption from customs duties shall be restricted during the period 1 May to 30 September 1997 to the following quantities of husked rice equivalent:
(a) 10 000 tonnes for rice originating in Montserrat and the Turks and Caicos Islands;
(b) 59 610 tonnes for rice originating in the other OCTs.
1. Applications for import licences shall be lodged with the competent authorities of the Member States from 2 May 1997.
2. Applications for import licences shall be for a quantity not less than 100 tonnes and not more than 2 000 tonnes of rice.

- Tullivapaa (päätös 91/482/ETY, artikla 101)
- Tullfri (beslut 91/482/EEG, artikel 101).
2. Notwithstanding Article 8 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88, the quantity entered for free circulation may not exceed that entered in boxes 17 and 18 of the import licence. The figure '0` shall accordingly be entered in box 19 of the licence.
3. Notwithstanding Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88, the rights arising from import licences shall not be transferable.
4. Notwithstanding Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 1162/95, the amount of the security in respect of the import licences shall be equal to 50 % of the customs duty calculated in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 (7) applicable on the date on which the application was lodged.
5. The concept 'originating products` for the purposes of applying this Regulation and the methods of administrative cooperation relating to it shall be as defined in Annex II to Decision 91/482/EEC.
1. On the day on which licence applications are lodged, the Member States shall inform the Commission's departments by telex or fax of the quantities, by CN code and by country of origin, for which import licences have been applied for and the names and addresses of the applicants.
2. Without prejudice to paragraph 3, import licences shall be issued on the 11th working day following that on which the application was lodged.
3. If the quantities applied for exceed the quantities still available for one or more of the quotas specified in Article 1, the Commission shall, within 10 working days following the date on which the licence applications were lodged, set a single percentage reduction to be applied to the quantities for which applications were lodged on the day on which the quotas were exceeded.
4. If the quantity for which the import licence is issued is less than the quantity applied for, the amount of the security referred to in Article 3 (4) shall be reduced proportionately.
Member States shall notify the Commission by telex or fax:
(a) within two working days following issue, of the quantities for which import licences have been issued, specifying date, CN code, country of origin and name and address of holder,
(b) on the last working day of the following month, of the quantities by CN code and by country of origin actually entered for free circulation during each month.
The above information must be notified in the same way but separately from information on other import licence applications in the rice sector.
1. Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 shall apply, including Article 33 (5) thereof.
2. Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 shall apply without prejudice to this Regulation. However, by derogation from Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 1162/95, import licences for husked, wholly-milled, semi-milled rice and broken rice shall be valid from the date on which they were actually issued until the end of the third month following that date, pursuant to Article 21 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 May to 30 September 1997.

Whereas:
(1) Article 1 of Commission Decision 98/424/EC of 30 June 1998 laying down special conditions governing imports of fishery and aquaculture products originating in Maldives(3), states that the Department of Public Health (DPH) of the Ministry of Health shall be the competent authority in Maldives for verifying and certifying compliance of fishery and aquaculture products with the requirements of Directive 91/493/EEC.
(2) Following a restructuring of the Maldives administration, the competent authority for health certificates for fishery products has changed of the Public Health Laboratory (PHL) of the Ministry of Health.

The Public Health Laboratory (PHL) of the Ministry of Health shall be the competent authority in Maldives for verifiying and certifying compliance of fishery and aquaculture products with the requirements of Directive 91/493/EEC."
2. Article 3(2) shall be replaced by the following:
"2. Certificates must bear the name, capacity and signature of the representative of the PHL and the latter's official stamp in a colour different from that of other endorsements."
3. Annex A shall be replaced by the Annex hereto.

(2013/434/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 81(2), in conjunction with point (a) of Article 218(6) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Having regard to the consent of the European Parliament,
Whereas:
(1) The Union is working towards the establishment of a common judicial area based on the principle of mutual recognition of judicial decisions.
(2) The Protocol of 12 September 1997 (hereinafter ‘the 1997 Protocol’) amending the Vienna Convention on Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage of 21 May 1963 (hereinafter ‘the Vienna Convention’) was negotiated with a view to improving compensation for victims of damage caused by nuclear incidents. It is therefore desirable that the provisions of the 1997 Protocol be applied in the Member States which are Contracting Parties to the Vienna Convention.
(3) The Union has exclusive competence with regard to Articles XI and XII of the Vienna Convention as amended by the 1997 Protocol in so far as those provisions affect the rules laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 of 22 December 2000 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters (1). Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 is to be replaced as of 10 January 2015 by Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2012 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters (2). The Member States retain their competence for matters covered by the 1997 Protocol which do not affect Union law. Given the subject matter and the aim of the 1997 Protocol, acceptance of the provisions of the Protocol which fall under Union competence cannot be dissociated from the provisions which fall under the competence of the Member States.
(4) The Vienna Convention and the 1997 Protocol are not open to participation by regional economic integration organisations. As a result, the Union is not in a position to become a Contracting Party to the 1997 Protocol.
(5) The Member States which are Contracting Parties to the Vienna Convention and which did not ratify the 1997 Protocol prior to their accession to the Union should therefore be authorised to ratify, or to accede to, the 1997 Protocol in the interest of the Union.
(6) Twelve of the Member States of the Union, namely Belgium, Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia, Finland, Sweden and the United Kingdom, are Contracting Parties to the Paris Convention on Third Party Liability in the Field of Nuclear Energy of 29 July 1960, as amended by the Additional Protocol of 28 January 1964 and by the Protocol of 16 November 1982 (hereinafter ‘the Paris Convention’). The Paris Convention establishes a regime for the compensation of victims for damage caused by nuclear incidents based on principles similar to those of the Vienna Convention. The Protocol of 12 February 2004 (hereinafter ‘the 2004 Protocol’) amending the Paris Convention improves compensation for damage caused by nuclear incidents. By Council Decisions 2004/294/EC (3) and 2007/727/EC (4) the Member States which are Contracting Parties to the Paris Convention were authorised to ratify, or to accede to, the 2004 Protocol in the interest of the then Community. It is therefore objectively justified that this Decision should not be addressed to those Member States which are Contracting Parties to the Paris Convention and not to the Vienna Convention.
(7) Furthermore, five of the Member States of the Union, namely Ireland, Cyprus, Luxembourg, Malta and Austria, are neither Contracting Parties to the Vienna Convention nor to the Paris Convention. Given that the 1997 Protocol amends the Vienna Convention and that Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 authorises the Member States bound by that Convention to continue to apply the rules on jurisdiction and on recognition and enforcement provided for in it, it is objectively justified that this Decision should be addressed only to those Member States which are Contracting Parties to the Vienna Convention. Accordingly, Ireland, Cyprus, Luxembourg, Malta and Austria should continue to base themselves on the rules contained in Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 and to apply them in the area covered by the Vienna Convention and the 1997 Protocol amending that Convention.
(8) As a consequence, the provisions of the 1997 Protocol will be applied, as regards the Union, only by those Member States which are Contracting Parties to the Vienna Convention at the time of the adoption of this Decision.
(9) The rules on recognition and enforcement of judgments laid down in Article XII of the Vienna Convention, as amended by Article 14 of the 1997 Protocol, should not take precedence over the rules governing the procedure for recognition and enforcement of judgments established by Regulation (EC) No 44/2001. Therefore, the Member States which are authorised to ratify, or to accede to, the 1997 Protocol by this Decision should make the declaration provided for in this Decision with the aim of ensuring application of the relevant Union rules.
(10) The United Kingdom and Ireland, to which Protocol No 21 on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland in respect of the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, applies, are taking part in the adoption and application of this Decision.
(11) In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of Protocol No 22 on the position of Denmark, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Denmark is not taking part in the adoption of this Decision and is not bound by it or subject to its application,
The Council hereby authorises Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia to ratify, or to accede to, the Protocol of 12 September 1997 amending the Vienna Convention on Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage of 21 May 1963, in the interest of the Union.
The text of the 1997 Protocol is attached to this Decision.
The Council hereby authorises Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia to make the following declaration:
‘Judgments on matters covered by the Protocol of 12 September 1997 amending the Vienna Convention on Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage of 21 May 1963, when given by a court of a Member State of the European Union, which is a Contracting Party to that Protocol, shall be recognised and enforceable in [name of the Member State making the declaration] in accordance with the relevant rules of the European Union on the subject.’
This Decision shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, the Republic of Estonia, the Republic of Lithuania, Hungary, the Republic of Poland and the Slovak Republic in accordance with the Treaties. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 |
31994D0220 | 94/220/EC: Commission Decision of 26 January 1994 requiring France to suspend the payment to Groupe Bull of aid granted in breach of Article 93 (3) of the EC Treaty (Text with EEA relevance)
| COMMISSION DECISION of 26 January 1994 requiring France to suspend the payment to Groupe Bull of aid granted in breach of Article 93 (3) of the EC Treaty (Only the French text is authentic) (Text with EEA relevance) (94/220/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 93 (2) and (3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In a letter dated 6 December 1993, the French authorities informed the Commission that they intended to proceed with a further recapitalization of Groupe Bull ('Bull'), amounting to FF 8,6 billion of which FF 7 billion would be subscribed to by the French State and the remainder by France Télécom.
The letter also stated that, of this total amount FF 4,5 billion would be paid by the French State in respect of Bull's 1993 financial year. The French authorities have indicated to the Commissioner responsible for competition policy that the French State has already made this payment, a fact subsequently confirmed by the French Permanent Representation. Moreover, it is understood that the capital injection from France Télécom, amounting to FF 1,6 billion, has also been paid.
These payments were made in breach of Article 93 (3) of the EC Treaty and, taking account of the fact that the Commission has not already taken a decision on these aids, must therefore be deemed to be unlawful.
(2) By letter dated 8 December 1993, the Commission asked the French Government to delay making the capital injections until it could take a decision in respect thereof, in addition, this letter requested full details of Bull's plans for restructuring.
On 17 December 1993, the Commission wrote a further letter to the French authorities stating, in connection with the amount of the capital injections not paid for 1993, that it required full details regarding the capital injections; it enclosed a list of points to this effect.
In addition, the letter stated that, if a reply setting out the requested data had not been received within 15 working days, the Commission would be obliged to initiate the Article 93 (2) procedure and take a suspensory decision in respect of the measure.
(3) The deadline for a response within 15 working days expired on 11 January 1994. Whilst a reply was received on 11 January referring to both of the above letters of the Commission, no answers to any of the questions raised were provided.
(4) On the basis of the information available to it the Commission understands the aid measure to consist of a further capital injection, by the French State, amounting to FF 2,5 billion.
That injection can be considered to be aid, as it would not be made by a private investor acting under normal market economy conditions. This is evidenced by the critical financial condition of Bull and the fact that all but FF 4 billion of the current recapitalization is forecast to be eliminated by the end of Bull's restructuring.
Moreover, the injection does not meet the criteria set out in either the 1984 Communication from the Commission concerning public authorities' holdings in company capital or the 1993 Commission Communication concerning public undertakings in the manufacturing sector.
(5) In view of the above, and as the Court of Justice has acknowledged in its judgment of 14 February 1990 in Case C-301/87 (Boussac) (1), where an infringement of Article 93 (3) has been committed, the Commission is entitled to take an interim decision requiring the Member State in question, being in this case France, to suspend immediately the payment of this aid to Bull and to provide the Commission with all the documents, information and particulars necessary for examining the compatibility of the aid with the common market.
Furthermore, pursuant, therefore, to existing case law, should France fail to comply with this Decision by not suspending the payment of the aid, the Commission could, while pursuing its examination of the substance of the case, refer the matter to the Court of Justice direct in order to have such an infringement of its Decision established, in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 93 (2).
Given the direct effect of Article 93 (3) (2) and the clear and unconditional requirement that the payment of the aid be suspended immediately, this Decision must apply in full throughout the French legal system without any need to amend the legislative instrument introducing the aid by means of further legislation or regulations.
The Commission points out in this respect that, as is made clear in the case law of the Court of Justice, not only national courts but also national administrative authorities, including local or regional authorities, have to apply Community law rather than national law where there is a conflict between the two (3).
The Commission has also extended, by means of a separate Decision taken on 26 January 1994, the procedure provided for in Article 93 (2) in respect of this aid since it takes the preliminary view that, on the basis of the information available to it, the aid is not compatible with the common market pursuant to Article 92 (1), nor with the functioning of the European Economic Area Agreement pursuant to Article 6 (1) thereof, and that it cannot at this stage qualify for the derogations provided for in
Article 92
(2) and (3).
The Commission points out that, should a negative final decision on this aid be taken subsequently, the Commission may require any unlawful aid that has been paid in breach of the procedural rules provided for in Article 93 (3) to be repaid (4). The abolition of the aid would involve its repayment together with interest, at the commercial rate upon which the French reference rate (5) is based, running from the date on which the unlawful aid was granted. This measure is necessary in order to restore the status quo (6) by removing the financial benefits which the firm receiving the unlawful aid has improperly enjoyed since the date on which the aid was paid,
France shall suspend forthwith the payment of further aid for Bull, and specifically the planned capital injection amounting to FF 2,5 billion, such aid having been granted in breach of Article 93 (3); it shall communicate to the Commission, within 15 days, the measures which it has taken to comply with this requirement.
France shall, within 30 days of notification of this Decision, provide all information relevant to a substantive assessment of the aid referred to in Article 1, and specifically the information requested in the Commission's letter to the French authorities of 17 December 1993.
This Decision is addressed to the French Republic. | 0 | 0 | 0.666667 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

1. The special measures of Community interest shall be implemented by means of financial assistance for the implementation of schemes or measures which, in pursuit of employment policy objectives reflecting Community priorities as agreed by the Council, particularly in respect of the categories of persons most seriously affected by unemployment, create additional job opportunities for the currently unemployed. These schemes or measures shall in particular encourage early retirement for older workers and lead to the creation of job opportunities for the categories of persons most seriously affected by unemployment.

(b) they must be compatible with other Community policies;
(c) they must not give rise to distortions of competition.

The Commission shall first ensure that every scheme or measure has been started as required by this Regulation.
In other cases, as soon as the Commission has taken a decision pursuant to Article 4 (2), it will grant an advance of 50 %. A further advance of 40 % will be granted once 50 % of the expenditure on the scheme or measure has been made.

The United Kingdom shall make available to the Commission, for a period of three years from the transfer of the balance referred to in Article 5 (3), all supporting documents or certified copies thereof relating to expenditure.
2. Where a scheme or measure is not implemented in conformity with this Regulation or departs substantially from decisions taken for its application, the Commission may suspend payments still due. In this case, it may decide that sums already paid or still due are to be allocated, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 8, to other schemes submitted under this Regulation. If, in the opinion of the Commission, no other scheme or measure is available, it shall recover the payments made.
1. An Advisory Committee (hereinafter called 'the Committee') is hereby established, composed of representatives of the Member States and chaired by a representative of the Commission.

(2) The specified organism is neither listed in Annex I nor in Annex II to Directive 2000/29/EC. It appears from a preliminary pest risk analysis carried out by the Commission on the basis of an assessment prepared by the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO) that the specified organism causes harmful effects to plants of Actinidia Lindl.
(3) Due to the complexity of the taxonomic identification of the new aggressive strain of the specified organism, it is appropriate to provide for measures applying to the specified organism as such, without restricting measures to the strain concerned.
(4) Measures should be provided for concerning the introduction into the Union of plants for planting of Actinidia Lindl. from third countries. Measures should also be provided for concerning the movement within the Union of these plants originating in the Union.
(5) Surveys for the presence of the specified organism should be carried out in all Member States and the results notified.
(6) Member States should, if necessary, adapt their legislation in order to comply with this Decision.
(7) This Decision should apply until 31 March 2016 to allow time to monitor the evaluation of the situation.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Emergency measures against Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae Takikawa, Serizawa, Ichikawa, Tsuyumu & Goto
Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae Takikawa, Serizawa, Ichikawa, Tsuyumu & Goto, hereinafter ‘the specified organism’, shall not be introduced into or spread within the Union.
Introduction of live pollen and plants intended for planting, other than seeds, of Actinidia Lindl. into the Union
Live pollen and plants intended for planting, other than seeds, of Actinidia Lindl., hereinafter ‘the specified plants’, originating in third countries may only be introduced into the Union if they comply with the specific requirements for introduction, as set out in Annex I.
Movement of the specified plants within the Union
The specified plants may only be moved within the Union if they meet the specific requirements, as set out in Annex II.
Surveys and notifications of the specified organism
1. Member States shall conduct official annual surveys for the presence of the specified organism on the specified plants.
Member States shall notify the results of those surveys to the Commission and to the other Member States by 31 January of the year following the year of the survey.
2. Each Member State shall immediately notify in writing the Commission and the other Member States of the presence of the specified organism in a part of its territory where that presence was previously unknown.
3. If the specified organism is found or suspected to be present in an area where its presence was previously unknown, the responsible official bodies shall immediately be notified.
Compliance
Member States shall immediately inform the Commission of the measures they have taken to comply with this Decision.
Application

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71 of 26 July 1971 on the common organization of the market in hops (1), as last amended by the 1979 Act of Accession, and in particular Article 12 (4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71 provides for the possibility of granting in certain regions of the Community, production aid only to those recognized producer groups which are capable of ensuring that their members receive a fair income and of achieving rational management of supply; whereas a list of the regions in which these conditions are fulfilled is to be drawn up on the basis of communications from the Member States concerned;
Whereas by Regulation (EEC) No 593/79 (2) the Council drew up a list of these regions;
Whereas, since the entry into force of Regulation (EEC) No 593/79, an examination of the information supplied by the United Kingdom establishes that a new region fulfils these conditions as from the 1982 harvest; whereas, consequently, the list of regions in which production aid for hops is granted only to recognized producer associations needs to be altered; whereas, in order to do this, and for the sake of clarity, Regulation (EEC) No 593/79 should be replaced by this Regulation,
The list of Community regions in which only recognized hop producer groups are eligible for the production aid provided for in Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71 is set out in the Annex. This list shall be valid as from the 1981 harvest for all the indicated regions with the exception of England in respect of which it shall be valid as from the 1982 harvest.
Regulation (EEC) No 593/79 is hereby repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.
(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of Pediococcus acidilactici CNCM MA 18/5M. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) The application concerns the authorisation of a new use of Pediococcus acidilactici CNCM MA 18/5M as a feed additive for laying hens, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.
(4) The use of Pediococcus acidilactici CNCM MA 18/5M was authorised without a time limit for chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1200/2005 (2), without a time limit for pigs for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2036/2005 (3) and for 10 years for salmonids and shrimps by Commission Regulation (EC) No 911/2009 (4) and for weaned piglets by Commission Regulation (EU) No 1120/2010 (5).
(5) New data were submitted in support of the application for the authorisation of Pediococcus acidilactici CNCM MA 18/5M for laying hens. The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 5 October 2010 (6) that Pediococcus acidilactici CNCM MA 18/5M, under the proposed conditions of use, does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that its use significantly increased the laying intensity of the target species. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(6) The assessment of Pediococcus acidilactici CNCM MA 18/5M shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of this 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 ‘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.

fixing the export refunds on white sugar and raw sugar exported in its unaltered state
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), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that when refunds on white and raw sugar, undenatured and exported in its unaltered state, are being fixed account must be taken of the situation on the Community and world markets in sugar and in particular of the price and cost factors set out in Article 28 of that Regulation. The same Article provides that the economic aspect of the proposed exports should also be taken into account.
(3) The refund on raw sugar must be fixed in respect of the standard quality. The latter is defined in Annex I, point II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Furthermore, this refund should be fixed in accordance with Article 28(4) of that Regulation. Candy sugar is defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector (2). The refund thus calculated for sugar containing added flavouring or colouring matter must apply to their sucrose content and, accordingly, be fixed per 1 % of the said content.
(4) In special cases, the amount of the refund may be fixed by other legal instruments.
(5) The refund must be fixed every two weeks. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(6) The first subparagraph of Article 27(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that refunds on the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation may vary according to destination, where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The significant and rapid increase in preferential imports of sugar from the western Balkan countries since the start of 2001 and in exports of sugar to those countries from the Community seems to be highly artificial.
(8) To prevent any abuse through the re-import into the Community of sugar products in receipt of an export refund, no refund should be set for all the countries of the western Balkans for the products covered by this Regulation.
(9) In view of the above and of the present situation on the market in sugar, and in particular of the quotations or prices for sugar within the Community and on the world market, refunds should be set at the appropriate amounts.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, undenatured and exported in the natural state, are hereby fixed to the amounts shown in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 21 January 2005.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 1 November 1983, the Netherlands requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'Ortec - Planar totally depleted Silicon Surface Barrier Detectors, model: D 035-050-15, D 030-150-50, D 015-050-100, D 030-300-100 - Totally depleted Silicon Surface Barrier Detectors, model: B 027-450-200, B 027-450-400, B 018-050-300, B 027-450-300', ordered on 9 October 1982 and intended to be used in nuclear physics experiments with beams of particles from a variable-energy cyclotron, should be considered to be scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value are currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 11 April 1984 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question are detectors; whereas their objective technical characteristics, such as the precision of the answer in the field of the particles energy, and the use to which they are put make them specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities; whereas they must therefore be considered to be scientific apparatus;
Whereas, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of equivalent scientific value capable of use for the same purpose are not currently manufactured in the Community; whereas, therefore, duty-free admission of these apparatus is justified,
The apparatus described as 'Ortec - Planar totally depleted Silicon Surface Barrier Detectors, model: D 035-050-15, D 030-150-50, D 015-050-100, D 030-300-100 - Totally depleted Silicon Surface Barrier Detectors, model: B 027-450-200, B 027-450-400, B 018-050-300, B 027-450-300', which are the subject of an application by the Netherlands of 1 November 1983, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 95/409/EC of 22 June 1995 laying down the rules for the microbiological testing of fresh beef and veal and pigmeat intended for Finland and Sweden(1) as amended by Council Decision 98/227/EC(2), and in particular the first paragraph of section C in the Annex thereof,
Having regard to Council Decision 95/411/EC of 22 June 1995 laying down the rules for the microbiological testing for salmonella by sampling of fresh poultrymeat intended for Finland and Sweden(3) as amended by Council Decision 98/227/EC, and in particular the first paragraph of section C in the Annex thereof,
Whereas:
(1) There is a need to use rapid analytical methods when fresh meat and poultrymeat intended for Finland and Sweden is being tested for Salmonella spp. due to the limited shelf-life of these products. Therefore it is appropriate to introduce the possibility to use more rapid alternative methods offering equivalent guarantees to the methods authorised by Council Decisions 95/409/EC and 95/411/EC.
(2) The Scientific Committee on Veterinary Matters relating to Public Health issued an opinion on criteria for evaluation of methods of Salmonella detection on 19-20 June 2002. In this opinion the Committee recommended that the validation of new alternative methods should follow an official procedure, favouring the procedure of EN/ISO 16140 standard(4).
(3) The Scientific Committee also concluded that the procedures for validation, as described by the standardisation bodies of Association Franรงaise de Normalisation (AFNOR), Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC), European Committee for Standardisation (CEN), International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) and Nordic System for Validation of Alternative Microbiological Method (NordVal), are similar in their general outline, but differ in small details.
(4) It is appropriate to take account of the opinion of the Scientific Committee.
(5) EN/ISO 16140 standard was adopted in 2002 and there is as yet little experience of the application of this standard. Therefore, it is necessary to allow, for a provisional period, the use of methods validated in accordance with the validation procedures similar to the procedure described in EN/ISO 16140 standard. This possibility should be reviewed and the relevant provisions revised, if necessary.
(6) 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 use of the following alternative analytical methods is authorised in the microbiological testing referred to in Decisions 95/409/EC and 95/411/EC:
- methods, which have been validated against the latest editions of ISO 6579 standard(5) or method No 71 of the Nordic Committee on Food Analyses (NMKL)(6) and certified by a third party in accordance with the protocol set in the latest edition of EN/ISO 16140 standard,
- pending experience from the application of EN/ISO 16140 standard, methods, which have been validated against the abovementioned analytical methods and certified to provide equivalent guarantees in accordance with protocols described by Association Franรงaise de Normalisation (AFNOR), Nordic System for Validation of Alternative Microbiological Method (NordVal) or Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC).
The validation of these alternative methods shall include the use of meat samples in the validation studies.
This Decision shall be reviewed within two years after its adoption in order to take into account experience gained and progress made in the validation of alternative microbiological methods.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIE
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to Council Regulation No 120/67/EEC (1) of 13 June 1967 on the common organization of the market in cereals, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 665/75 (2);
Having regard to Council Regulation No 359/67/EEC (3) of 25 July 1967 on the common organization of the market in rice, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 668/75 (4);
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1955/75 (5) of 22 July 1975 on production refunds in the cereals and rice sectors, and in particular Article 8 (a) thereof;
Whereas Article 6 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1955/75 provides that if world market prices for maize and common wheat or for broken rice appreciably and persistently exceed their respective threshold prices, minus the production refund;
Whereas, if the import levy on the basic product is more than 3 units of account/metric ton less than the amount of the production refund and if this situation continues for at least a fortnight, the conditions required by Article 6 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1955/75 for the introduction of an export levy may be considered as fulfilled;
Whereas the method of calculating the export levy in the situation oulined above must be defined ; whereas, to that end, a fixed rate system should be adopted on similar lines to that in force for calculating the import levy and the export refund on products processed from cereals and from rice;
Whereas to ensure that the calculation of the export levy is as up to date as possible, it should be based on price factors valid during the week preceding that on fixing ; whereas it should be allowed to remain in force for one week only so that it may be adjusted to any world market price fluctations;
Whereas under Regulation (EEC) No 1955/75 the production refund to be taken into consideration in the new Member States is the production refund applicable in the Community as originally constituted less the relevant compensatory amount;
Whereas use should be made of the possibility of fixing export levies in advance in the light of market conditions and of the exigencies of international trade, particularly for the purpose of concluding long-term contracts;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 645/75 (6) of 13 March 1975 laid down common methods of applying export levies and taxes for agricultural products, whereas the provisions of this Regulation apply to export levies for starch products;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
1. The export levy provided for in Article 6 (2) of Regulation No 1955/75 shall be introduced when it is found that the import levy on maize, common wheat or broken rice is at least 3 units of account/metric ton less than the amount of the production refund valid in the current month and that the average of the levies valid in the immediately following fortnight is at least 3 units of account/metric ton less than the average of the production refund valid in that fortnight.
2. (a) The export levy shall be equal, per metric ton of basic product, to the difference between the production refund valid on the day on which this export levy is fixed and the average of the import levies applicable on the seven days preceding the day it comes into force. (1)OJ No 117, 19.6.1967, p. 2269/67. (2)OJ No L 72, 20.3.1975, p. 14. (3)OJ No 174, 31.7.1967, p. 1. (4)OJ No L 72, 20.3.1975, p. 18. (5)OJ No L 200, 31.7.1975, p. 1. (6)OJ No L 67, 14.3.1975, p. 16.
(b) This difference shall then be multiplied for the products mentioned in Article 1 by the coefficients relating to these products shown in column 4 of the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 1052/68 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 980/75 (2).
The export levy shall be altered if application of the provisions of paragraph 2 (a) entails an increase or a reduction of more than 0 78 unit of account per metric ton of basic product.
3. For the new Member States, the import levy and the production refund referred to in the preceding paragraphs shall be the levy and the refund on the product in question less the relevant accession/compensatory amount.
The export levy shall be fixed by the Commission once a week.
1. The export levy may be fixed in advance. The export levy on the products referred to in Article 1 shall be fixed in advance, at the request of the party concerned, when application for a licence is made, in respect of exports to be effected during the period of validity of that licence.
In that case, the amount of the levy fixed in advance shall be that which applies on the day on which application for the export licence is made.
2. In the case of modification to the production refunds specified in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1955/75 between the day of application and the day of export, the export levy fixed in advance shall be adjusted. This adjustment shall be made by increasing or decreasing the prefixed amount of the levy by the difference resulting from such modification, this difference being multiplied by the coefficient shown in column 4 of the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 1052/68 for the products in question.
Regulation (EEC) No 1981/74 is hereby repealed with effect from the dates shown in Article 5 for the products mentioned.
This Regulation shall enter into force on: - 1 August 1975 for products coming under Regulation No 120/67/EEC,
- 1 September 1975 for products coming under Regulation No 359/67/EEC.

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 on nutrition and health claims made on foods (1), and in particular Articles 18(4) and 19 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 provides that health claims made on foods are prohibited unless they are authorised by the Commission in accordance with that Regulation and included in a list of permitted claims.
(2) Pursuant to Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, Commission Regulation (EU) No 432/2012 (2) was adopted, which establishes a list of permitted health claims made on foods other than those referring to the reduction of disease risk and to children's development and health.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 provides that applications for authorisations of health claims are to be submitted by food business operators to the national competent authority of a Member State. The national competent authority is to forward valid applications to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), hereinafter referred to as ‘the Authority’, for a scientific assessment, as well as to the Commission and the Member States for information.
(4) The Commission is to decide on the authorisation of health claims taking into account the opinion delivered by the Authority.
(5) In order to stimulate innovation, health claims which are based on newly developed scientific evidence and/or which include a request for the protection of proprietary data shall undergo an accelerated type of authorisation.
(6) Following an application from Barry Callebaut Belgium NV submitted pursuant to Article 19(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 and including a request for protection of proprietary data, the Authority was required to deliver an opinion on the modification of the authorisation of health claim ‘cocoa flavanols help maintain the elasticity of blood vessels, which contributes to normal blood flow’. That health claim was authorised, pursuant to Article 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, by Commission Regulation (EU) No 851/2013 (3). The applicant requested an extension of the authorised conditions of use of the claim to a high-flavanols (HF) cocoa extract to be consumed in capsules, tablets or added to ‘other foods, including beverages’.
(7) On 5 May 2014, the Commission and the Member States received a scientific opinion from the Authority (Question No EFSA-Q-2013-00832) (4) which concluded that on the basis of the data submitted, a cause and effect relationship had been established between the consumption of cocoa flavanols in the HF cocoa extract (i.e. in capsules or tablets) and the claimed effect.
(8) The Authority indicated in its opinion that its conclusions could not have been reached without considering one human intervention study claimed by the applicant as proprietary. (5)
(9) All the justifiable information provided by the applicant has been assessed by the Commission and it is considered that the requirements laid down in Article 21(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 are fulfilled for the study claimed as proprietary. Accordingly, the scientific data and other information included in that study may not be used for the benefit of a subsequent applicant for a period of five years from the date of entry into force of this Regulation, under the conditions laid down in Article 21(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006.
(10) One of the objectives of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 is to ensure that health claims are truthful, clear and reliable and useful to the consumer, and that the wording and the presentation are taken into account in that respect. Therefore, where the wording of claims used by the applicant has the same meaning for consumers as that of an authorised health claim, because they demonstrate the same relationship that exists between a food category, a food or one of its constituents and health, they should be subject to the same conditions of use as those listed in the Annex to this Regulation.
(11) In accordance with Article 20 of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, the Register of nutrition and health claims containing all authorised health claims should be updated in order to take into account this Regulation.
(12) Since the applicant claims protection of proprietary data, it is considered appropriate to restrict the use of this claim in favour of the applicant for a period of five years. However, the authorisation of this claim restricted for the use of an individual operator should not prevent other applicants from applying for authorisation to use the same claim in case the application is based on data and studies other than those protected under Article 21 of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006.
(13) The comments from the applicant received by the Commission pursuant to Article 16(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 have been considered when setting the measures provided for in this Regulation.
(14) Regulation (EU) No 432/2012 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(15) The Member States have been consulted,
1. The health claim set out in the Annex to this Regulation shall be included in the Union list of permitted claims as provided for in Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006.
2. The use of the health claim referred to in the first paragraph shall be restricted to the applicant for a period of five years from the date of entry into force of this Regulation. After the expiry of that period, that health claim may be used, in conformity with the conditions applying to it, by any food business operator.
The scientific data and other information included in the application, which are claimed by the applicant as proprietary and without the submission of which the health claim could not have been authorised are restricted for use for the benefit of the applicant for a period of five years from the date of entry into force of this Regulation under the conditions laid down in Article 21(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006.

(2) The Member States have had an opportunity to request that a conciliation procedure be initiated. That opportunity has been used in some cases and the report issued on the outcome has been examined by the Commission.

The expenditure itemised in the Annex hereto that has been incurred by the Member States' accredited paying agencies and declared under the EAGGF Guarantee Section shall be excluded from Community financing because it does not comply with Community rules.

(85/106/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the first paragraph of Article 115 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Decision 80/47/EEC of 20 December 1979 on surveillance and protective measures which Member States may be authorized to take in respect of imports of certain products originating in third countries and put into free circulation in another Member State (1), and in particular Articles 2 and 3 thereof,
Whereas a request was made under the first paragraph of Article 115 of the Treaty by the United Kingdom Government to the Commission of the European Communities for authorization to apply surveillance and protective measures for tableware and other articles of a kind commonly used for domestic toilet purposes, of porcelain or china, of stoneware, of earthenware or fine pottery and of other kinds of pottery falling within headings No 69.11 and No ex 69.12 of the Common Customs, Tariff, (NIMEXE codes 69.11-10, 90 and 69.12-20, 31, 39, 90) originating in Romania and in free circulation in the other Member States;
Whereas in the United Kingdom the importation of the products in question originating in Romania is subject under Council Decision 83/675/EEC (2), to a quantitative quota of £ 400 000 for 1984;
Whereas, as a result of these measures, disparities still exist between the conditions governing the importation of the products in question into the different Member States;
Whereas statistics show that since the beginning of this year imports to the United Kingdom of the products concerned originating in Romania and in free circulation in the other Member States have amounted to £ 105 000;
Whereas with regard to the situation of the national output the information received by the Commission indicates that imports of the products in question originating in third countries have amounted to £ 10,9 million in 1982 to 10,8 million in 1983 and to £ 6,6 million in the first six months of 1984; whereas the market share taken by those imports has amounted to 18 % in 1982 and 1983 and to 17 % in the first six months of 1984;
Whereas output of like products in the United Kingdom has amounted to £ 229,5 million in 1982 to £ 248,3 million in 1983 and to £ 140,5 million in the first six months of 1984; whereas the domestic industry's share of the home market has amounted to 82 % in the first six months of 1984;
Whereas consumption of like products in the United Kingdom has amounted to £ 139,7 million in 1982, to £ 141,7 million in 1983 and to £ 88,1 million in the first six months of 1984;
Whereas the United Kingdom exports of like products in the United Kingdom has mounted to £ 139,7 million in 1982, to £ 141,7 million in 1983 and to £ 88,1 million in the first six months of 1984;
Whereas the United Kingdom exports of like products have increased from £ 115 million in 1982 to £ 133 million in 1983 and have amounted to £ 112,5 million in the first 10 months of 1984;
Whereas, taking account of the above details on the development of the principal economic factors characterizing United Kingdom productuion as well as the total amount of the Romanian imports concerned, it appears that the conditions laid down in Article 3 of Decision 80/47/EEC for the application of measures in accordance with Article 115 of the Treaty forbidding imports to the United Kingdom of the products concerned originating in Romania and in free circulation in the other Member States have not been met;
Whereas, however, taking account of the fact that there has been a pattern of indirect trade in these products originating in Romania and coming from the other Member States, there is the risk that this will rapidly and unforeseeably increase thereby bringing economic problems to the product sector concerned;
Whereas, in these circumstances, there is reason to authorize the United Kingdom in accordance with Article 2 of Decision 80/47/EEC to apply a prior intra-Community surveillance to these imports so that any development which would justify the application of the abovementioned protective measures might be seen;
Whereas this authorization is to be limited to 30 June 1985, the date of expiry of Commission Decision 83/326/EEC (1) when those products subject to intra-Community surveillance in the different Member States will be completely re-examined,
The United Kingdom is authorized to introduce until 30 June 1985, in accordance with Article 2 of Decision 80/47/EEC, intra-Community surveillance of imports of products specified below, originating in Romania and put into free circulation in the other Member States:
1.2 // // // CCT heading No // Description // // // 69.11 and ex 69.12 (NIMEXE codes 69.11-10, 90 69.12-20, 31, 39, 90) // Tableware and other articles of a kind commonly used for domestic or toilet purposes, of porcelain or china, of stoneware, of earthenware or fine pottery and of other kinds of pottery // //

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds(1), and in particular Article 15(5) thereof,
After consultation of the Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions and the Committee pursuant to Article 147 of the Treaty,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 et seq. of Title II of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 lay down the procedure for preparing and implementing single programming documents.
(2) Article 15(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides that, after consultation with the partners referred to in Article 8 of the Regulation, the Member State may submit to the Commission a development plan which is treated as a draft single programming document, and which contains the information referred to in Article 16 of the Regulation.
(3) Under Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, on the basis of the regional development plan submitted by the Member State and within the partnership established in accordance with Article 8 of the Regulation, the Commission shall take a decision on the single programming document, in agreement with the Member State concerned and in accordance with the procedures laid down in Articles 48 to 51.
(4) The United Kingdom Government submitted to the Commission on 28 April 2000 an acceptable draft single programming document for the Western Scotland region fulfilling the conditions for Objective 2 pursuant to Article 4(1) and qualifying for transitional support pursuant to Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. The draft contains the information listed in Article 16 of the Regulation, and in particular a description of the priorities selected and an indication of the financial contribution from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the European Social Fund (ESF), the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the other financial instruments proposed for implementing the plan.
(5) Under Article 52(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, as an acceptable plan was submitted between 1 January and 30 April 2000, the date from which expenditure under the plan is eligible shall be 1 January 2000. Under Article 30 of the Regulation, it is necessary to lay down the final date for the eligibility of expenditure.
(6) The single programming document has been drawn up in agreement with the Member State concerned and within the partnership.
(7) The Commission has satisfied itself that the single programming document is in accordance with the principle of additionality.
(8) Under Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Commission and the Member State are required to ensure, in a manner consistent with the principle of partnership, coordination between assistance from the Funds and from the EIB and other existing financial instruments.
(9) The EIB has been involved in drawing up the single programming document in accordance with the provisions of Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 and has declared itself prepared to contribute to its implementation in conformity with its statutory provisions.
(10) The financial contribution from the Community available over the entire period and its year-by-year breakdown are expressed in euro. The annual breakdown must be consistent with the relevant financial perspective. Under Article 7(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Community contribution has already been indexed at a rate of 2 % per year. Under Article 7(7) and Article 44(2) of the Regulation, the Community contribution may be reviewed at mid-term, and not later than 31 March 2004, to take account of the effective level of inflation and the allocation of the performance reserve.
(11) Provision must be made for adapting the financial allocations of the priorities of this single programming document within certain limits to actual requirements reflected by the pattern of implementation on the ground, in agreement with the Member State concerned,
The single programming document for Community structural assistance under Objective 2 in the Western Scotland region of the United Kingdom for the period 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2005 for transitional areas and 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2006 for fully eligible areas is hereby approved.
1. In accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the single programming document includes the following elements:
(a) the strategy and priorities for the joint action of the Community Structural Funds and the Member State; their specific quantified targets; the ex ante evaluation of the expected impact, including on the environmental situation, and the consistency of the priorities with the economic, social and regional policies and the employment strategy of the United Kingdom.
The priorities are as follows:
- developing the competitiveness and innovative capacity of the region's SMEs,
- developing the region as a competitive location,
- increasing the economic and social cohesion of the region,
- technical assistance;
(b) a summary description of the measures planned to implement the priorities, including the information needed to check compliance with the State aid rules under Article 87 of the Treaty;
(c) the indicative financing plan specifying for each priority and each year the financial allocation envisaged for the contribution from the ERDF, the ESF, the EIB and the other financial instruments and indicating separately the funding planned for the regions receiving transitional support and the total amounts of eligible public or equivalent expenditure and estimated private funding in the Member State. The total contribution from the ERDF and ESF planned for each year for the single programming document is consistent with the relevant financial perspectives,
(d) the provisions for implementing the single programming document including designation of the managing authority, a description of the arrangements for managing the single programming document and the use to be made of global grants, a description of the systems for monitoring and evaluation, including the role of the Monitoring Committee and the arrangements for the participation of the partners in that Committee;
(e) the ex ante verification of compliance with additionality and information on the transparency of financial flows;
(f) information on the resources required for preparing, monitoring and evaluating the assistance.
2. The indicative financing plan puts the total cost of the priorities selected for the joint action by the Community and the Member State at EUR 1423762 million for the whole period and the financial contribution from the Structural Funds at EUR 483290 million.
The resulting requirement for national resources of EUR 778278 million from the public sector and EUR 162194 million from the private sector can be partly met by Community loans from the European Investment Bank and other lending instruments.
1. The total assistance from the Structural Funds granted under the single programming document amounts to EUR 483290 million. The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds for the various priorities included in the single programming document, is set out in the financing plan annexed to this Decision.
2.
>TABLE>
3. During implementation of the financing plan, the total cost or Community financing of a given priority can be adjusted in agreement with the Member State by up to 25% of the total Community contribution to the single programming document throughout the programme period or by up to EUR 30 million, whichever is the greater, without altering the total Community contribution referred to in paragraph 1.
This Decision is without prejudice to the Commission's position on aid schemes falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty that are included in this assistance and which have not yet been approved by the Commission. Submission of the application for assistance, the programming complement or a request for payment by the Member State does not replace the notification required by Article 88(3) of the Treaty.
Community financing of State aid falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, requires prior approval by the Commission under Article 88 of the Treaty, except where the aid falls within the de minimis rule or is exempted under an exemption regulation adopted by the Commission under Council Regulation (EC) No 994/98 of 7 May 1998 on the application of Articles 87 and 88 to certain categories of horizontal aid(2). In the absence of such exemption or approval, aid is illegal and subject to the consequences set out in the procedural regulation for State aid, and its co-financing would be treated as an irregularity within the meaning of Articles 38 and 39 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.
Consequently, the Commission will not accept requests for interim and final payments under Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 for measures being co-financed with new or altered aid, as defined in the procedural regulation for State aid, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, until such aid has been notified to and formally approved by the Commission.
The date from which expenditure shall be eligible is 1 January 2000. The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure shall be 31 December 2007 for transitional areas and 31 December 2008 for fully eligible areas. This date is extended to 30 April 2009 for expenditure incurred by bodies granting assistance under Article 9(l) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.

Whereas:
(1) Article 13(8) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides that the export refund applicable to cereals on the day on which application for an export licence is made, adjusted for the threshold price in force during the month of exportation, must be applied on request to exports to be effected during the period of validity of the export licence.

| COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 417/85 of 19 December 1984 on the application of Article 85 (3) of the Treaty to categories of specialization agreements
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2821/71 of 20 December 1971 on the application of Article 85 (3) of the Treaty to categories of agreements, decisions and concerted practices (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Article 1 thereof,
Having published a draft of this Regulation (2),
Having consulted the Advisory Committee on Restrictive Practices and Dominant Positions,
Whereas: (1) Regulation (EEC) No 2821/71 empowers the Commission to apply Article 85 (3) of the Treaty by Regulation to certain categories of agreements, decisions and concerted practices falling within the scope of Article 85 (1) which relate to specialization, including agreements necessary for achieving it.
(2) Agreements on specialization in present or future production may fall within the scope of Article 85 (1).
(3) Agreements on specialization in production generally contribute to improving the production or distribution of goods, because undertakings concerned can concentrate on the manufacture of certain products and thus operate more efficiently and supply the products more cheaply. It is likely that, given effective competition, consumers will receive a fair share of the resulting benefit.
(4) Such advantages can arise equally from agreements whereby each participant gives up the manufacture of certain products in favour of another participant and from agreements whereby the participants undertake to manufacture certain products or have them manufactured only jointly.
(5) The Regulation must specify what restrictions of competition may be included in specialization agreements. The restrictions of competition that are permitted in the Regulation in addition to reciprocal obligations to give up manufacture are normally essential for the making and implementation of such agreements. These restrictions are therefore, in general, indispensable for the attainment of the desired advantages for the participating undertakings and consumers. It may be left to the parties to decide which of these provisions they include in their agreements.
(6) The exemption must be limited to agreements which do not give rise to the possibility of eliminating competition in respect of a substantial part of the products in question. The Regulation must therefore apply only as long as the market share and turnover of the participating undertakings do not exceed a certain limit. (1) OJ No L 285, 29.12.1971, p. 46. (2) OJ No C 211, 11.8.1984, p. 2.
(7) It is, however, appropriate to offer undertakings which exceed the turnover limit set in the Regulation a simplified means of obtaining the legal certainty provided by the block exemption. This must allow the Commission to exercise effective supervision as well as simplifying its administration of such agreements.
(8) In order to facilitate the conclusion of long-term specialization agreements, which can have a bearing on the structure of the participating undertakings, it is appropriate to fix the period of validity of the Regulation at 13 years. If the circumstances on the basis of which the Regulation was adopted should change significantly within this period, the Commission will make the necessary amendments.
(9) Agreements, decisions and concerted practices which are automatically exempted pursuant to this Regulation need not be notified. Undertakings may none the less in an individual case request a decision pursuant to Council Regulation No 17 (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece,
Pursuant to Article 85 (3) of the Treaty and subject to the provisions of this Regulation, it is hereby declared that Article 85 (1) of the Treaty shall not apply to agreements on specialization whereby, for the duration of the agreement, undertakings accept reciprocal obligations: (a) not to manufacture certain products or to have them manufactured, but to leave it to other parties to manufacture the products or have them manufactured ; or
(b) to manufacture certain products or have them manufactured only jointly.
1. Apart from the obligations referred to in Article 1, no restrictions of competition may be imposed on the parties other than: (a) an obligation not to conclude with third parties specialization agreements relating to identical products or to products considered by users to be equivalent in view of their characteristics, price and intended use;
(b) an obligation to procure products which are the subject of the specialization exclusively from another party, a joint undertaking or an undertaking jointly charged with their manufacture, except where they are obtainable on more favourable terms elsewhere and the other party, the joint undertaking or the undertaking charged with manufacture is not prepared to offer the same terms;
(c) an obligation to grant other parties the exclusive right to distribute products which are the subject of the specialization provided that intermediaries and users can also obtain the products from other suppliers and the parties do not render it difficult for intermediaries or users thus to obtain the products.
2. Article 1 shall also apply where the parties undertake obligations of the types referred to in paragraph 1 but with a more limited scope than is permitted by that paragraph.
3. Article 1 shall apply notwithstanding that any of the following obligations, in particular, are imposed: (a) an obligation to supply other parties with products which are the subject of the specialization and in so doing to observe minimum standards of quality;
(b) an obligation to maintain minimum stocks of products which are the subject of the specialization and of replacement parts for them;
(c) an obligation to provide customer and guarantee services for products which are the subject of the specialization.
1. Article 1 shall apply only if: (a) the products which are the subject of the specialization together with the participating undertakings' other products which are considered by users to be equivalent in view of their characteristics, price and intended use do not represent more than 20 % of the market for such products in the common market or a substantial part thereof;
(b) the aggregate annual turnover of all the participating undertakings does not exceed 500 million ECU. (1) OJ No 13, 21.2.1962, p. 204/62.
2. Article 1 shall continue to apply if the market share referred to in paragraph 1 (a) or the turnover referred to in paragraph 1 (b) is exceeded during any period of two consecutive financial years by not more than one-tenth.
3. Where one of the limits laid down in paragraphs 1 and 2 is exceeded, Article 1 shall continue to apply for a period of six months following the end of the financial year during which it was exceeded.
1. The exemption provided for in Article 1 shall also apply to agreements involving participating undertakings whose aggregate turnover exceeds the limits laid down in Article 3 (1) (b) and (2), on condition that the agreements in question are notified to the Commission in accordance with the provisions of Commission Regulation No 27 (1), and that the Commission does not oppose such exemption within a period of six months.
2. The period of six months shall run from the date on which the notification is received by the Commission. Where, however, the notification is made by registered post, the period shall run from the date shown on the postmark of the place of posting.
3. Paragraph 1 shall apply only if: (a) express reference is made to this Article in the notification or in a communication accompanying it ; and
(b) the information furnished with the notification is complete and in accordance with the facts.
4. The benefit of paragraph 1 may be claimed for agreements notified before the entry into force of this Regulation by submitting a communication to the Commission referring expressly to this Article and to the notification. Paragraphs 2 and 3 (b) shall apply mutatis mutandis.
5. The Commission may oppose the exemption. It shall oppose exemption if it receives a request to do so from a Member State within three months of the forwarding to the Member State of the notification referred to in paragraph 1 or of the communication referred to in paragraph 4. This request must be justified on the basis of considerations relating to the competition rules of the Treaty.
6. The Commission may withdraw the opposition to the exemption at any time. However, where the opposition was raised at the request of a Member State and this request is maintained, it may be withdrawn only after consultation of the Advisory Committee on Restrictive Practices and Dominant Positions.
7. If the opposition is withdrawn because the undertakings concerned have shown that the conditions of Article 85 (3) are fulfilled, the exemption shall apply from the date of notification.
8. If the opposition is withdrawn because the undertakings concerned have amended the agreement so that the conditions of Article 85 (3) are fulfilled, the exemption shall apply from the date on which the amendments take effect.
9. If the Commission opposes exemption and the opposition is not withdrawn, the effects of the notification shall be governed by the provisions of Regulation No 17.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 2000/26/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 May 2000 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to insurance against civil liability in respect of the use of motor vehicles and amending Council Directives 73/239/EEC and 88/357/EEC(1), and in particular Article 6(3)(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Directive 2000/26/EC (fourth motor insurance Directive) lays down special provisions applicable to injured parties resident in a Member State and entitled to compensation in respect of any loss or injury resulting from accidents occurring in a Member State other than the Member State of residence of the injured party or in third countries whose national insurer's bureaux have joined the green card system whenever such accidents are caused by the use of vehicles insured and normally based in a Member State.
(2) According to Article 6(1) and Article 10(3) of the fourth Directive, each Member State shall establish or approve before 20 January 2002 a compensation body responsible for providing compensation where the insurance undertaking has failed to appoint a representative or is manifestly dilatory in settling a claim. Furthermore, as provided for in Article 7, the injured party is entitled to apply for compensation from the compensation body in the Member State where he resides if it is impossible to identify the vehicle or if, within two months following the accident, it is impossible to identify the insurance undertaking.
(3) In accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) of the fourth Directive, the compensation body of a Member State which has compensated an injured party residing in that Member State shall be entitled to claim reimbursement of the sum paid by way of compensation from the compensation body in the Member State in which the insurance undertaking which issued the policy of the presumed liable party is established.
(4) By virtue of Article 6(3)(a) of the fourth Directive, the entry into force of Article 6 of the fourth Directive is subject to the conclusion of an agreement between the compensation bodies established or approved by the Member States defining their functions and obligations and the procedures for reimbursement.
(5) All the Member States have designated the compensation bodies responsible for providing compensation to injured parties in the cases referred to in Article 1 of the fourth motor insurance Directive, as provided for by its Article 6. An agreement between these compensation bodies according to this provision was concluded on 29 April 2002 in Brussels and notified to the European Commission by letter dated 19 July 2002 within the deadline established by Article 10(3) of the same Directive.
(6) Article 6(3)(b) calls on the Commission to fix the date from which Article 6 of the fourth Directive shall take effect, and the Commission has already ascertained, after consulting the Insurance Committee, the conclusion of this agreement.
(7) In accordance with Article 10(1) of the fourth motor insurance Directive, Member States shall apply the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with it before 20 January 2003,
As from 20 January 2003, Article 6 of Directive 2000/26/EC shall take effect.
Member States shall inform the Commission of measures taken to apply this Decision.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/400/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of beet seed (1), as last amended by Directive 90/654/EEC (2), and in particular Article 16 (1) (a) and (b) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/401/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of fodder plant seed (3), as last amended by Directive 90/654/EEC, and in particular Article 16 (1) (a) and (b) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/402/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of cereal seed (4), as last amended by Directive 90/654/EEC, and in particular Article 16 (1) (a) and (b) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 69/208/EEC of 30 June 1969 on the marketing of seed of oil and fibre plants (5), as last amended by Directive 90/654/EEC, and in particular Article 15 (1) (a) and (b) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, in its seventh Decision, 85/355/EEC (6), as last amended by Decision 90/402/EEC (7), the Council determined that field inspections carried out in certain third countries on seed-producing crops of certain species satisfied the conditions laid down in Directives 66/400/EEC, 66/401/EEC, 66/402/EEC and 69/208/EEC;
Whereas, in its seventh Decision, 85/356/EEC (8), as last amended by Decision 90/402/EEC, the Council determined that seed of certain species produced in certain third countries is equivalent to corresponding seed harvested in the Community;
Whereas, in the case of certain third countries, additional detailed information was requested and the equivalence granted in respect of those countries was limited to a period thought necessary to examine and assess that additional information; whereas that period expires with regard to Austria on 31 March 1991;
Whereas, in the case of Austria, the examination and assessment of the information requested is, for the present, complete for all species other than maize; whereas it is therefore appropriate, as far as species other than maize are concerned, to extend the abovementioned period until 30 June 1995, the date on which Decisions 85/355/EEC and 85/356/EEC expire in respect of the majority of third countries;
Whereas in the case of Austria and as far as maize is concerned further information is awaited; whereas it is therefore appropriate in this case, to grant a shorter extension of the abovementioned period, to allow time for this information to be supplied and assessed,
of Decision 85/355/EEC is hereby replaced by the following:
'Article 3
This Decision shall apply from 1 July 1990 to 31 March 1992 in the case of Austria for the species Zea mays (maize), from 1 July 1990 to 30 June 1995 in the case of Austria for all other species listed in respect of that country in the table in Part I, point 2 of the Annex, from 1 July 1990 to 30 June 1992 in the case of Australia for the species Medicago sativa (lucerne) and Helianthus annuus (sunflower), from 1 July 1990 to 30 June 1995 in the case of Australia for all other species listed in respect of that country in the table in Part I, point 2 of the Annex and from 1 July 1990 to 30 June 1995 in the case of the other third countries listed in Part 1 of the Annex.'

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy (1), and in particular Article 21 (3) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 3377/94 of 20 December 1994 allocating, for the period until 31 March 1995, certain catch quotas between Member States for vessels fishing the Norwegian exclusive economic zone and the fishing zone around Jan Mayen (2), provides for saithe quotas for 1995;
Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantitative limitations on catches of stocks subject to quotas, it is necessary for the Commission to fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated;
Whereas, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of saithe in the waters of ICES divisions I and II a and b (Norwegian waters north of 62° N) by vessels flying the flag of the United Kingdom or registered in the United Kingdom have reached the quota allocated for 1995; whereas the United Kingdom has prohibited fishing for this stock as from 8 February 1995; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,
Catches of saithe in the waters of ICES divisions I and II a and b (Norwegian waters north of 62° N) by vessels flying the flag of the United Kingdom or registered in the United Kingdom are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated to the United Kingdom for 1995.
Fishing for saithe in the waters of ICES divisions I and II a and b (Norwegian waters north of 62° N) by vessels flying the flag of the United Kingdom or registered in the United Kingdom is prohibited, as well as the retention on board, the transhipment and the landing of such stock captured by the abovementioned vessels after the date of application of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 8 February 1995.

of 3 February 2006
on transitional measures under Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 as regards the collection, transport, treatment, use and disposal of former foodstuffs
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 October 2002 laying down health rules concerning animal by-products not intended for human consumption (1), and in particular Article 32(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 provides for a complete revision of Community rules concerning animal by-products not intended for human consumption, including the introduction of a number of strict requirements. In addition, it provides that appropriate transitional measures may be adopted.
(2) Due to the strict nature of those requirements, Commission Regulation (EC) No 813/2003 of 12 May 2003 on transitional measures Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the collection, transport and disposal of former foodstuffs (2) granted a derogation to Member States in order to enable them to authorise operators to continue to apply national rules for the collection, transport and disposal of former foodstuffs of animal origin until 31 December 2005. Member States have asked to extend the derogation for a further period of time in order to avoid disruption of trade. It is therefore necessary to extend the derogation.
(3) Council Directive 1999/31/EC of 26 April 1999 on the landfill of waste (3) sets out conditions for the granting of permits for landfills and the waste to be accepted in the different landfills. Accordingly, it is appropriate to apply the measures provided for in that Directive, where the competent authority considers that the former foodstuffs do not pose a risk to public or animal health, if they are disposed of in a landfill.
(4) Certain former foodstuffs, such as bread, pasta, pastry and similar products, pose little risk to public or animal health providing they have not been in contact with raw material of animal origin such as raw meat, raw fishery products, raw eggs and raw milk. In such cases, the competent authority should be permitted to allow the former foodstuffs to be used as feed material if the authority is satisfied that such practice does not pose a risk to public or animal health. The competent authority should also be permitted to allow it to be used for other purposes, such as fertiliser, or treated or disposed of in another way, such as in a biogas or a composting plant which is not approved in accordance with Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002.
(5) The Commission is to seek the advice of the European Food Safety Authority on the possible risks involved in turning the current extended derogation into implementing measures under Article 6(2)(i) of Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002.
(6) In order to prevent a risk to animal and public health, appropriate control systems should be maintained in the Member States for the period of the transitional measures.
(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,
Derogation regarding the collection, transport, treatment, use and disposal of former foodstuffs
1. By way of derogation from Articles 6(2) and 7 and Chapters I to III and Chapters V to VIII of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002, Member States may authorise the collection, transport, treatment, use and disposal of former foodstuffs referred to in Article 6(1)(f) of that Regulation (former foodstuffs), in accordance with Articles 2 and 3 of this Regulation, provided that:
(a) they have not been in contact with any animal by-product referred to in Articles 4 and 5 and points (a) to (e) and (g) to (k) of Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 or with other raw material of animal origin;
(b) this does not pose a risk to public or animal health.
2. The derogation provided for in the first paragraph shall not apply to raw material of animal origin.
Collection and transport
Member States may authorise the collection and transport of former foodstuffs provided that the person consigning or transporting the former foodstuffs:
(a) ensures that the former foodstuffs are consigned and transported to a plant or other outlet permitted pursuant to Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 or a plant or other outlet or landfill pursuant to Article 3 of this Regulation; and
(b) keeps a record of consignments for a period of at least two years from the date of such consignment or transport demonstrating this, and makes it available upon request to the competent authority.
Treatment, use and disposal
Member States may authorise former foodstuffs to be:
(a) disposed of as waste by burial in a landfill permitted under Directive 1999/31/EC;
(b) treated in alternative systems approved under conditions minimising risk to animal and public health provided that the following conditions are complied with:
(i) the resulting material is sent for disposal to an incineration plant or a co-incineration plant in accordance with Directive 2000/76/EC (4), or landfill in accordance with Directive 1999/31/EC; and
(ii) is not used as feed material or used as organic fertiliser or soil improver;
(c) to be used in feed without further treatment or used for other purposes without further treatment if such former foodstuffs have not been in contact with raw material of animal origin and the competent authority is satisfied that such use does not pose a risk to public or animal health.
Control measures
The competent authority shall take the necessary measures to control compliance by operators with this Regulation.
Entry into force
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2006 to 31 July 2007.

Having regard to Council Joint Action 2005/557/CFSP (1) and in particular Article 8(1), second subparagraph thereof, in conjunction with the second indent of Article 23(2) of the Treaty on European Union,
Whereas:
(1) On 21 November 2005 the Council adopted Decision 2005/806/CFSP implementing Joint Action 2005/557/CFSP on the European Union civilian-military supporting action to the African Union mission in the Darfur region of Sudan (2).
(2) Pending transition of the African Union mission to a UN operation, the EU should continue its support, and the Council has, in accordance with Article 2 of Decision 2005/806/CFSP, decided to continue the European Union civilian-military supporting action to the African Union mission in the Darfur region of Sudan.
(3) As concerns the civilian component the Council should consequently decide on the financing of the continuation of the supporting action.
(4) The EU supporting action to the AMIS II will be conducted in the context of a situation which may deteriorate and could undermine the objectives of the CFSP as set out in Article 11 of the Treaty,
The financial reference amount set out in Article 1(1) of Decision 2005/806/CFSP shall also cover expenditure for the period from 29 July until 31 October 2006.
The Council shall no later than 30 September 2006 evaluate whether the EU supporting action should be continued.
This Decision shall take effect on the date of its adoption.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 12(1) thereof,
Having regard to the Council Decision of 19 December 2002 concerning the conclusion of an agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the United States of America, with a view to the modification of concessions with respect to cereals provided for in schedule CXL annexed to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT)(3), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Having regard to the Council Decision of 19 December 2002 concerning the conclusion of an agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and Canada pursuant to Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), with a view to the modification of concessions with respect to cereals provided for in EC schedule CXL annexed to the GATT(4), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2375/2002(5) opens a tariff quota for the import of 2981600 tonnes of low and medium quality common wheat from third countries, including 572000 tonnes for imports originating in the United States of America and 38000 tonnes for imports originating in Canada. The implementation of the tariff quota gave rise to a number of practical difficulties.
(2) In the first week of bidding for imports under subquota III, which covers all third countries except the United States of America and Canada, there was substantial oversubscription, leading to the exhaustion of the subquotas until the subsequent quarter, due to open on 1 April 2003. It is important to take measures to reduce oversubscription, namely by harmonising the dates of application in all Member States in national holidays, and by reducing the period of validity of import licences.
(3) The provisions relating to certificates of origin, namely the ones concerning administrative cooperation with exporting authorities, have proven to be difficult to apply taking into account the potential number of exporting countries concerned. These provisions have to be amended retroactively, in order to avoid discrimination between operators.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 2375/2002 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
Regulation (EC) No 2375/2002 is amended as follows:
1. In Article 5(2), the first subparagraph is replaced by the following:"No later than 18.00 hours Brussels time on the day of lodging of licence applications, the competent authorities shall forward to the Commission by fax a notification in accordance with the model annexed hereto, and the total quantity resulting from the sum of all quantities indicated on the import licence applications."
2. Article 6 is deleted.
3. Article 9 is amended as follows:
(a) point (a) is replaced by the following:
"(a) in section 8, the country of origin of the product and the 'yes' box shall be marked with a cross;"
(b) the following subparagraph is added:"Licences shall be valid only for the products originating in the country indicated in section 8."
4. Article 11 is replaced by the following:
"Article 11
In the framework of the tariff quota, the release into free circulation in the Community of common wheat of a quality other than high quality originating in a third country shall be conditional upon production of a certificate of origin issued by the competent national authorities of that country, in accordance with Article 47 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93(6)."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 April 2003 with the exception of Article 1(4), which shall apply from 1 January 2003.

of 22 October 2009
fixing the rates of the refunds applicable to milk and milk products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 164(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 162(1)b of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the difference between prices in international trade for the products referred to in Article 1(1)(p) and listed in Part XVI of Annex I to that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund where these goods are exported in the form of goods listed in Part IV of Annex XX to that Regulation.
(2) Commission Regulation (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 (2), specifies the products for which a rate of refund is to be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Part IV of Annex XX to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
(3) In accordance with the second paragraph, subparagraph (a) 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 for a period of the same duration as that for which refunds are fixed for the same products exported unprocessed.
(4) Article 162(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 lays down that the export refund for a product contained in a good may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing.
(5) In the case of certain milk products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, there is a danger that, if high refund rates are fixed in advance, the commitments entered into in relation to those refunds may be jeopardised. In order to avert that danger, it is therefore necessary to take appropriate precautionary measures, but without precluding the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of specific refund rates for the advance fixing of refunds in respect of those products should enable those two objectives to be met.
(6) Article 15(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 provides that, when the rate of the refund is being fixed, account is to be taken, where appropriate, of aids or other measures having equivalent effect applicable in all Member States in accordance with the Regulation on the common organisation of the agricultural markets to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 or to assimilated products.
(7) Article 100(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides for the payment of aid for Community-produced skimmed milk processed into casein if such milk and the casein manufactured from it fulfil certain conditions.
(8) The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chair,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 and in Part XVI of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, and exported in the form of goods listed in Part IV of Annex XX to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, shall be fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

Whereas the aid referred to in Article 4a of Regulation (EC) No 413/97 is to be converted at the agricultural conversion rate; whereas, pursuant to Article 6 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 of 28 December 1992 on the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 150/95 (6), the operative event for this rate is the event whereby the economic objective of the operation is attained; whereas for the aid in question the operative event should be defined as the beginning of each month for which aid is granted;

Regulation (EC) No 413/97 is hereby amended as follows:
1. the following paragraph is added to Article 4a:

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, submitted following consultation with the Economic and Financial Committee,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Central Bank,
Whereas:
(1) The large number of Member States currently outside the euro area affects the potential demand for Community medium-term financial assistance and, together with the evolution of the international context, calls for a significant raising of the ceiling for the outstanding amount of loans to be granted to Member States laid down in Regulation (EC) No 332/2002 (1) from EUR 12 billion to EUR 25 billion. If a revision of the ceiling were urgently needed, the relevant institutions should proceed swiftly according to their respective competences.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 332/2002 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Regulation (EC) No 332/2002 is hereby amended as follows:
In Article 1(1), the second subparagraph shall be replaced by the following:
‘The outstanding amount of loans to be granted to Member States under this facility shall be limited to EUR 25 billion in principal.’.

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), amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that when refunds on white and raw sugar, undenatured and exported in its unaltered state, are being fixed account must be taken of the situation on the Community and world markets in sugar and in particular of the price and cost factors set out in Article 28 of that Regulation. The same Article provides that the economic aspect of the proposed exports should also be taken into account.
(3) The refund on raw sugar must be fixed in respect of the standard quality. The latter is defined in Annex I, point II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Furthermore, this refund should be fixed in accordance with Article 28(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Candy sugar is defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector(3). The refund thus calculated for sugar containing added flavouring or colouring matter must apply to their sucrose content and, accordingly, be fixed per 1 % of the said content.
(4) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for sugar according to destination.
(5) In special cases, the amount of the refund may be fixed by other legal instruments.
(6) The refund must be fixed every two weeks. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(7) It follows from applying the rules set out above to the present situation on the market in sugar and in particular to quotations or prices for sugar within the Community and on the world market that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(8) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 does not make provision to continue the compensation system for storage costs from 1 July 2001. This should accordingly be taken into account when fixing the refunds granted when the export occurs after 30 September 2001.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, undenatured and exported in the natural state, are hereby fixed to the amounts shown in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 November 2002.

Whereas:
(1) Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 lists the persons, groups and entities covered by the freezing of funds and economic resources under that Regulation.

Whereas Article 7 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1201/89 lays down that where an application for aid is lodged before the application for supervised storage is made, a security is to be lodged; whereas, with effect from 1 February 1995 Article 13 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 amends the value in ecus of certain prices and amounts so as to neutrilize the effects of abolishing the correction factor of 1,207509 which affected until 31 January 1995 the conversion rates used for agriculture;

Regulation (EEC) No 1201/89 is amended as follows:
1. The second subparagraph of Article 5 (3) is replaced by the following:
'However, if the aid application is lodged:
- between 1 and 15 April of the marketing year for which the aid is applied for, the aid granted shall be that valid on the preceding 31 March, less 50 %,
- after 15 April of the said marketing year, the aid application shall be rejected.` 2. In Article 7 (1) '30 April` is replaced by '31 March`.
