COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1237/2007
of 23 October 2007
amending Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Decision 2006/696/EC as regards the placing on the market of eggs from Salmonella infected flocks of laying hens
(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 2160/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 November 2003 on the control of Salmonella and other specified food-borne zoonotic agents (1) and, in particular Article 5(6) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 lays down rules to ensure that proper and effective measures are taken to detect and control Salmonella and other zoonotic agents at all relevant stages of production, processing and distribution, particularly at the level of primary production, in order to reduce their prevalence and the risk they pose to public health.
(2) Pursuant to Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003, with effect from 72 months after the date of entry into force of that Regulation, eggs may only be used for direct human consumption as table eggs if they originate from a commercial flock of laying hens subject to a national control programme and not under official restriction.
(3) Commission Decision 2006/696/EC of 28 August 2006 laying down a list of third countries from which poultry, hatching eggs, day-old chicks, meat of poultry, ratites and wild game-birds, eggs and egg products and specified pathogen-free eggs may be imported into and transit through the Community and the applicable veterinary certification conditions, and amending Decisions 93/342/EEC, 2000/585/EC and 2003/812/EC (3) lays down veterinary certification conditions for imports and transit through the Community of eggs and egg products.
(4) A high prevalence of Salmonella Enteritidis and Salmonella Typhimurium was detected in flocks of laying hens in Member States during a study carried out in accordance with Commission Decision 2004/665/EC of 22 September 2004 concerning a baseline study on the prevalence of Salmonella in laying flocks of Gallus gallus
(4).
(5) According to the Report of the European Food Safety Authority on Trends and Sources of Zoonoses, Zoonotic agents and Antimicrobial Resistance and Foodborne Outbreaks in the European Union in 2005 (5) eggs and egg products are the most important source of known foodborne outbreaks of salmonellosis in humans. In addition, according to that report, Salmonella Enteritidis and Salmonella Typhimurium were responsible for 88 % of the outbreaks where the serovar was demonstrated.
(6) In view of the high prevalence of Salmonella Enteritidis and Salmonella Typhimurium in certain Member States, its public health impact and the reluctance of food business operators to trade table eggs from infected flocks, the date on which restrictions on the consumption of table eggs are to apply, should be brought forward but should still allow food business operators sufficient time to comply with the new requirements without causing any disturbance to markets.
(7) However, where a flock of laying hens has been indicated as the source of infection in a food borne outbreak as a result of the epidemiological investigation of food-borne outbreaks in accordance with Directive 2003/99/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 17 November 2003 on the monitoring of zoonoses and zoonotic agents, amending Council Decision 90/424/EEC and repealing Council Directive 92/117/EEC (6), the restrictions on the use of table eggs set out in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 should apply without delay.
(8) Taking account of the public health risk of eggs infected with Salmonella, rules should be laid down on the marking of eggs to guarantee that eggs from flocks which are subject to restrictions within the framework of a Salmonella control programme provided for in Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003, are marked in a way which easily distinguishes them from table eggs before being placed on the market.
(9) In order to exclude false-positive initial results, the competent authority should be allowed to lift the restrictions laid down in Paragraph 2 of Part D to Annex II of that Regulation if the Salmonella infection is not confirmed in the flocks of laying hens using a strict protocol.
(10) Third countries, from which Member States are authorised to import eggs, should provide guarantees, equivalent to the requirements within the Community and the model certificate for eggs in Decision 2006/696/EC should be amended accordingly.
(11) Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (7), in particular Article 12 thereof, lays down rules concerning food and feed exported or re-exported from the Community for placing on the market in a third country. Those provisions apply to table eggs. Accordingly, it is not necessary to lay down specific provisions with regard to the export of such eggs in this Regulation.
(12) To avoid any disturbance of trade, the use of certificates issued in accordance with the current model certificates set out in Decision 2006/696/EC should be allowed for a period of 60 days following the date of application of this Regulation.
(13) Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 should therefore by amended accordingly.
(14) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal health,
Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation.
Annex II to Decision 2006/696/EC is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.
Consignments of eggs for which certificates have been issued in accordance with Decision 2006/696/EC in its version before 1 November 2007 may be imported into the Community for a period of 60 days following that date.
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 November 2007 where Salmonella ssp. are identified in the flock of laying hens as the source of infection for humans by the consumption of eggs or egg products as a result of the epidemiological investigation of food-borne outbreaks in accordance with Article 8 of Directive 2003/99/EC,
— 1 January 2009 at the latest to all other flocks of laying hens.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.25 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1193/90 (2), and in particular Article 27 (1) thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 23 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, reference prices valid for the whole Community are to be fixed at the beginning of the marketing year;
Whereas lemons are produced in such quantities in the Community that reference prices should be fixed for them;
Whereas lemons harvested during a given crop year are marketed from June to May of the next year; whereas reference prices should therefore be fixed for the period 1 June to 31 May of the following year;
Whereas, to take seasonal variations into account, the year should be divided into several periods and a reference price fixed for each of these periods;
Whereas Article 23 (2) (b) of the abovementioned Regulation stipulates that reference prices are to be fixed at the same level as for the preceding marketing year, adjusted, after deducting the standard cost of transporting Community products between production areas and Community consumption centres in the preceding year, by:
- the increase in production costs for fruit and vegetables, less productivity growth, and
- the standard rate of transport costs in the current marketing year;
Whereas the resulting figure may nevertheless not exceed the arithmetic mean of producer prices in each Member State with regard to Article 23 (2) plus transport costs for the current year, after this amount has been increased by the rise in production costs less productivity growth; whereas the reference price may, however, not be lower than in the preceding marketing year;
Whereas producer prices are to correspond to the average of the prices recorded on the representative market or markets situated in the production areas where prices are lowest, during the three years prior to the date on which the reference price is fixed, for a home-grown product with defined commercial characteristics, being a product or variety representing a substantial proportion of the production marketed over the year or over part thereof and satisfying specified requirements as regards market preparation; whereas, when the average of prices recorded on each representative market is being calculated, prices which could be considered excessively high or excessively low in relation to normal price fluctuations on that market are to be disregarded;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 784/90 of 29 March 1990 fixing the reducing coefficient for agricultural prices in the 1990/91 marketing year as a result of the monetary realignment of 5 January 1990 and amending the prices and amounts fixed in ecus for that marketing year (3) establishes the list of prices and amounts to which the coefficient 1,001712 is applied in the framework of the arrangements on the automatic dismantlement of negative monetary gaps; whereas the prices and amounts fixed in ecus by the Commission for the 1990/91 marketing year must take account of the resulting reduction; whereas this reducing coefficient shall apply to the prices referred to above; however, this adjustment cannot result in a lower level of the reference prices than the prices in force during the proceeding marketing year pursuant to Article 23 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72; whereas this adjustment shall enter into force on the day of entry into force of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1179/90 (4) fixing the agricultural conversion rates;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 284 of the Act of Accession, Portuguese prices shall be used for the purpose of calculating reference prices as from 1 January 1991;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 272 (3) of the Act of Accession, the prices of Portuguese products will not be used for the purpose of calculating reference prices, during the first stage of accession;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas Regulation No 136/66/EEC (4) lays down in Article 2a that common customs tariff rates are to be applied to products, including olive oil, subject to a common market organization, and in Article 11 that aid for the consumption of olive oil is to be granted only in respect of oil produced in the Community;
Whereas, as a result of the implementation of the agreements concluded under the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations, the system of variable agricultural levies has been replaced by fixed common customs duties; whereas a feature of the olive oil sector are naturally fluctuating harvests that result in erratic olive oil production in the Community; whereas experience has shown that, to ensure supplies to the market and to prevent significant price fluctuations, the option of allowing imports at a reduced rate of duty should be provided for;
Whereas, in view of the fact that the abovementioned rate of common customs duty takes account of the security lodged earlier for quantities of olive oil released for free circulation, entitlement to the consumption aid in respect of olive oil should not be limited to oil produced in the Community, nor should a difference in the level of production refunds for the manufacture of tinned oil be maintained,
Regulation No 136/66/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. The existing text of Article 2a shall become paragraph 1 and the following paragraph shall be added:
'2. Paragraph 1 notwithstanding, should the market price for olive oil in the Community appreciably exceed the intervention price during a period of at least three months, to ensure the Community market is adequately supplied with olive oil through imports from non-member countries, the Commission may, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 38:
- partially or fully suspend the application of common customs duties to olive oil, and establish the detailed arrangements for any such suspension,
- open an import quota for olive oil at a reduced rate of common customs duties and establish the detailed arrangements for managing any such quota.
These measures shall apply for the minimum period strictly required, which period in any event may not exceed the end of the marketing year in question.`.
2. Article 11 (1) shall be replaced by the following:
'1. Where the production target price, less production aid, is greater than the representative market price for olive oil, a consumption aid shall be granted for olive oil placed on the Community market. This aid shall be equal to the difference between these two amounts.`.
3. The second subparagraph of Article 20a (2) shall be replaced by the following:
'The refund shall be equal to the amount referred to in the first subparagraph, plus an amount equal to the consumption aid applicable on the day on which the refund was applied.`.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Whereas producers of oil seeds may apply for the compensatory payments under either the general scheme or the simplified scheme laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92; whereas certain criteria should be common to both schemes and certain conditions different between the two schemes; whereas the criteria for eligibility to receive support for the cultivation of oil seeds under the simplified scheme shall be based on both those for their cultivation under the general scheme and those for the production of cereals under the general scheme; whereas the agricultural conversion rate used in applications made under the simplified scheme should be that for cereals;
Whereas to continue the Community's policy of quality improvement, the eligibility of applicants to receive the compensatory payments in respect of land sown with rapeseed should be restricted to those applicants who have sown certain varieties and qualities of seed;
Whereas, to avoid the risk of an increase in the area under oil seeds, access to compensatory payments should be restricted to producers sowing crops in climatically and agronomically suitable regions;
Whereas in consequence Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2294/92 (5) should be amended;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,

of 1 July 2011
amending Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council to include imidacloprid as an active substance in Annex I thereto
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 16(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 of 4 December 2007 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC. That list includes imidacloprid.
(2) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, imidacloprid has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 18, insecticides, acaricides and products to control other arthropods, as defined in Annex V to that Directive.
(3) Germany was designated as rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 15 September 2008 in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.
(4) The competent authority report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 16 December 2010, in an assessment report.
(5) It appears from the evaluations that biocidal products used as insecticides, acaricides and products to control other arthropods and containing imidacloprid may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC. It is therefore appropriate to include imidacloprid in Annex I to that Directive.
(6) Not all potential uses have been evaluated at Union level. It is therefore appropriate that Member States assess those uses or exposure scenarios and those risks to human populations and to environmental compartments that have not been representatively addressed in the Union level risk assessment and, when granting product authorisations, ensure that appropriate measures are taken or specific conditions imposed in order to reduce the identified risks to acceptable levels.
(7) In view of the risks identified for the aquatic compartment, it is appropriate to require that products are not authorised for uses in animal housings where emission to a sewage treatment plant or direct emission to surface water cannot be prevented, unless data is submitted demonstrating that the product will meet the requirements of both Article 5 of and Annex VI to Directive 98/8/EC, if necessary by the application of appropriate risk mitigation measures.
(8) In the light of the findings of the assessment report, it is appropriate to require that risk mitigation measures are applied at product authorisation level. In particular, in the light of the possible risk for non-professionals, appropriate risk mitigation measures should be taken to minimise the potential exposure of infants and children.
(9) In the light of the findings relating to possible indirect human exposure via consumption of food, it is appropriate to require, where relevant, verification of the need to set new or amended existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) according to Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 laying down Community procedures for the establishment of residue limits of pharmacologically active substances in foodstuffs of animal origin, repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 and amending Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) or Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 February 2005 on maximum residue levels of pesticides in or on food and feed of plant and animal origin and amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC (4). Measures should be adopted ensuring that the applicable MRLs are not exceeded.
(10) It is important that the provisions of this Directive be applied simultaneously in all Member States in order to ensure equal treatment of biocidal products on the market containing the active substance imidacloprid and also to facilitate the proper operation of the biocidal products market in general.
(11) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC in order to permit Member States and interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed and to ensure that applicants who have prepared dossiers can benefit fully from the 10-year period of data protection, which, in accordance with Article 12(1)(c)(ii) of Directive 98/8/EC, starts from the date of inclusion.
(12) After inclusion, Member States should be allowed a reasonable period to implement Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC.
(13) Directive 98/8/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(14) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,
Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.

| Commission Regulation (EC) No 1294/2001
of 28 June 2001
fixing the export refunds on cereal-based compound feedingstuffs
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the arrangements for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice(3) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the amount of such refunds.
(3) That calculation must also take account of the cereal products content. In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of "cereal products", namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for "other cereals", these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.
(4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.
(5) However, in fixing the rate of refund it would seem advisable to base it at this time on the difference in the cost of raw inputs widely used in compound feedingstuffs as the Community and world markets, allowing more accurate account to be taken of the commercial conditions under which such products are exported.
(6) The refund must be fixed once a month; whereas it may be altered in the intervening period.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 29 June 2001.

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 86/362/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on cereals(1), as last amended by Commission Directive 2002/79/EC(2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 86/363/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on foodstuffs of animal origin(3), as last amended by Directive 2002/79/EC, and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/642/EEC of 27 November 1990 on fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on certain products of plant origin including fruit and vegetables(4), as last amended by Directive 2002/79/EC, and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market(5), as last amended by Commission Directive 2002/81/EC(6), and in particular Article 4(1)(f) thereof,
WHEREAS:
(1) The existing active substances 2,4-D, triasulfuron and thifensulfuron methyl, (the active substances concerned), were included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by Commission Directives 2001/103/EC(7), 2000/66/EC(8) and 2001/99/EC(9), respectively, for use as herbicides, but without specifying particular conditions having an impact on crops which may be treated with plant protection products containing this active substance.
(2) The inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of these active substances was based on the assessment of the information submitted concerning the proposed use. Information relating to this use has been submitted by certain Member States in accordance with Article 4(1)(f) of Directive 91/414/EEC. The information available has been reviewed and is sufficient to allow certain maximum residue levels (MRLs) to be fixed.
(3) Where no Community MRL or provisional MRL exists, Member States are to establish a national provisional MRL in accordance with Article 4(1)(f) of Directive 91/414/EEC before plant protection products containing this active substance may be authorised.
(4) With respect to the inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of the active substance concerned, the related technical and scientific evaluations were finalised in the form of the Commission review report. The report was finalised on 2 October 2001 for 2,4-D, on 13 July 2000 for triasulfuron and on 29 June 2001 for thifensulfuron methyl. The reports fixed the Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) for 2,4-D at 0,05 mg/kg bw/day, for triasulfuron at 0,01 mg/kg bw/day and for thifensulfuron methyl at 0,01 mg/kg bw/day. The lifetime exposure of consumers of food products treated with the active substances concerned has been assessed and evaluated in accordance with Community procedures. Account has also been taken of guidelines published by the World Health Organisation(10) and the opinion of the Scientific Committee for Plants(11) on the methodology employed. It is concluded that MRLs proposed will not lead to those ADIs being exceeded. No acute toxic effects requiring the setting of an Acute Reference Dose were noted during the evaluations and discussions preceding the inclusion of the active substances concerned in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(5) In order to ensure that the consumer is adequately protected from exposure to residues in or on products for which no authorisations have been granted, it is prudent to set provisional MRLs at the lower limit of analytical determination for all such products covered by Directives 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642/EEC.
(6) The setting at Community level of such provisional MRLs does not prevent the Member States from establishing provisional maximum residue levels in accordance with Article 4(1)(f) of Directive 91/414/EEC and Annex VI thereto. It is considered that a period of four years is sufficient to permit the development of further uses of the active substance concerned. The provisional MRLs should then become definitive.
(7) The Annexes to Directives 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The Commission notified this Directive in draft form to the World Trade Organisation and the comments received have been considered in finalising the Directive. The possibility of fixing import tolerance MRLs for specific pesticide/crop combinations will be examined by the Commission on the basis of acceptable data submitted.
(9) This Directive is in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The following maximum pesticide residue level are added to Part A of Annex II to Directive 86/362/EEC:
">TABLE>"
The following maximum pesticide residue levels are added to Part B of Annex II to Directive 86/363/EEC:
">TABLE>"
The maximum pesticide residue levels for the active substances concerned as shown in the Annex to this Directive are added to Annex II to Directive 90/642/EEC.
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 30 June 2003 at the latest. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
They shall apply these provisions with effect from 1 July 2003.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 975/2007
of 21 August 2007
fixing the quantitative limit for the exports of out-of-quota isoglucose for the period from 1 August to 30 September 2007
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Article 12(d) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) According to Article 12(d) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 the isoglucose produced in excess of the quota referred to in Article 7 of that Regulation can be exported only within the quantitative limit to be fixed.
(2) For some of the Community producers of isoglucose exports from the Community represent an important part of their economic activities and they have established traditional markets outside the Community as well. Exports of isoglucose to these markets could be economically viable also without granting export refunds. To that end it is necessary to fix a quantitative limit for out-of-quota isoglucose exports so that the Community producers concerned may continue to supply their traditional markets.
(3) For the period from 1 August to 30 September 2007 it is estimated that fixing the quantitative limit at 20 000 tonnes, dry matter, for out-of-quota isoglucose exports would correspond to the market demand.
(4) A preventive withdrawal of certain quantities of sugar, isoglucose and inulin syrup was provided for in respect of the 2006/2007 marketing year by Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 493/2006 of 27 March 2006 laying down transitional measures within the framework of the reform of the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector, and amending Regulations (EC) No 1265/2001 and (EC) No 314/2002 (2). The undertakings concerned could request that the quantities of their production affected by that measure be considered fully or partially to be produced in excess of their respective quotas, thus opening for those undertakings the possibilities provided for in Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 as regards out-of-quota production. Such requests had to be submitted before 31 January 2007. In order to enable the undertakings concerned to submit such requests in respect of isoglucose to be exported within the quantitative limit for out-of-quota isoglucose exports, a further deadline for the submission of those requests should therefore be fixed.
(5) With a view to ensuring orderly management, preventing speculation and providing for effective controls, detailed rules should be laid down for submitting licence applications.
(6) In order to minimise the risk of fraud and to prevent any abuse associated with the eventual re-import or re-introduction into the Community of the isoglucose syrups concerned, certain countries of the Western Balkans should be excluded from the eligible destinations for out-of-quota isoglucose exports. However, those countries of the region whose authorities have to issue an export certificate for the confirmation of the origin of the sugar or isoglucose products to be exported to the Community should be exempted from this exclusion as the risks of fraud are more limited.
(7) To assure coherence with the provisions relevant to exports in the sugar sector as laid down by Commission Regulation (EC) No 958/2006 of 28 June 2006 on a standing invitation to tender to determine refunds on exports of white sugar for the 2006/2007 marketing year (3) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 38/2007 of 17 January 2007 opening a standing invitation to tender for the resale for export of sugar held by the intervention agencies of Belgium, the Czech Republic, Spain, Ireland, Italy, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Sweden (4) exports of out-of-quota isoglucose should not be permitted to certain close destinations as well.
(8) In order to contravene the risk of re-importation and, more specifically, to ensure that the specific rules for returned goods referred to in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (5) and in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (6) are being respected, Member States should be required to take all the necessary control measures.
(9) In addition to the provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 of 30 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 as regards trade with third countries in the sugar sector (7) further implementing provisions should be established for the administration of the quantitative limit to be fixed by this Regulation, in particular regarding the conditions for applying for export licences.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
Fixing the quantitative limit for out-of-quota isoglucose exports
1. For the period from 1 August to 30 September 2007, the quantitative limit referred to in Article 12(d) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 shall be 20 000 tonnes, in dry matter, for exports without refund of out-of-quota isoglucose falling within CN codes 1702 40 10, 1702 60 10 and 1702 90 30.
2. Exports within this quantitative limit shall be allowed for all destinations with exception of the following:
(a) third countries: Andorra, the Holy See (Vatican City State), Liechtenstein, San Marino, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia;
(b) territories of EU Member States not forming part of the customs territory of the Community: Gibraltar, Ceuta, Melilla, Communes of Livigno and Campone d’Italia, Heligoland, Greenland, Faeroe Islands and the areas of Cyprus in which the Government of the Republic of Cyprus does not exercise effective control.
3. Exports of the products referred to in paragraph 1 shall only be allowed where they:
(a) are obtained by isomerisation of glucose;
(b) have a fructose content by weight in the dry state of not less than 41 %;
(c) have a total content by weight in the dry state of polysaccharides and oligosaccharides, including di- and trisaccharides, of not more than 8,5 %.

implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 as regards the minimum level of checks to be carried out in relation to the identification and registration of ovine and caprine animals
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 of 17 December 2003 establishing a system for the identification and registration of ovine and caprine animals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 and Directives 92/102/EEC and 64/432/EEC (1), and in particular point (a) of Article 10(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 provides that each Member State is to establish a system for the identification and registration of ovine and caprine animals in accordance with that Regulation. Accordingly it is appropriate to define the minimum level of checks to be carried out by Member States in order to verify the proper implementation of the requirements for the identification and registration of those animals, as provided for in that Regulation (the checks).
(2) The competent authority of each Member State should carry out checks based on a risk analysis. The risk analysis should take into account all relevant factors, including in particular, animal health considerations.
(3) The percentage of holdings and animals to be checked in the Member States should be laid down. Before 31 December 2009 those rates will be reviewed in the light of the results of the reports on the checks carried out and submitted by the Member States.
(4) As a general rule, all animals on a holding should be covered by the checks. However, for holdings with more than 20 animals the competent authority should be permitted to restrict the checks to an appropriate representative sample of the animals.
(5) Member States should submit an annual report to the Commission providing information on the implementation of the checks. It is appropriate to set out a model report in this Regulation.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Checks concerning compliance by keepers with Regulation (EC) No 21/2004
Member States shall carry out on-the-spot checks (checks) to verify compliance by keepers with the requirements for the identification and registration of animals as provided for in Regulation (EC) No 21/2004.
The checks shall at least comply with the minimum levels set out in Articles 2 to 5 of this Regulation.
Number of holdings to be checked
The competent authority shall carry out the checks each year which shall cover at least 3 % of holdings comprising at least 5 % of the animals in the Member State.
However, where those checks reveal a significant degree of non-compliance with Regulation (EC) No 21/2004, those rates shall be increased in the following annual inspection period.
Selection of holdings for checks
The competent authority shall select the holdings to be checked on the basis of a risk analysis which shall take account of at least the following:
(a) the number of animals on the holding;
(b) animal health considerations, and in particular the existence of previous outbreaks of animal diseases;
(c) the amount of annual premium for ovine and caprine animals claimed and/or paid to the holding;
(d) significant changes in comparison with the situation in previous annual inspection periods;
(e) the results of checks carried out in previous annual inspection periods, in particular, the proper keeping of the holding register and movement documents;
(f) proper communication of information to the competent authority;
(g) other criteria to be defined by the Member State.
Manner of checks
1. The competent authority shall in general carry out the checks without advance warning.
However, advance warning of checks may be given where necessary. Where advance warning is given, provided it shall be limited to the strict minimum necessary and as a general rule shall not exceed 48 hours, except in exceptional cases.
2. The checks may be carried out in conjunction with any other inspections provided for in Community legislation.
Number of animals to be checked
1. The competent authority shall check the identification of all animals on the holding.
However, where the number of animals on the holding exceeds twenty, the competent authority may decide to check the means of identification of a representative sample of those animals in accordance with internationally recognised standards provided that the number of animals checked is sufficient to detect 5 % of non-compliance with Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 by the keepers of such animals for a 95 % confidence level.
2. Where a check of a representative sample of the animals in accordance with the second subparagraph of paragraph 1 of this Article reveals that the requirements concerning the means of identification and registration provided for in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 have not been complied with by the keeper, all animals on the holding shall be included in the check.
However, the competent authority may decide to check the means of identification of a representative sample of those animals in accordance with internationally recognised standards ensuring the estimation of non-compliance over 5 % with precision of plus or minus 2 % for a 95 % confidence level.
Reports by the competent authority
The competent authority shall complete a report for each check in a format standardised at national level by the Member State setting out at least the following:
(a) the reason for selecting the holding for the check;
(b) the persons present during the check;
(c) the results of the check and any findings of non-compliance with Regulation (EC) No 21/2004.
The competent authority shall give the keeper or his representative the opportunity to sign the report and, as appropriate, to give his observations on its contents.
Annual reports by the Member State
The Member States shall submit to the Commission by 31 August 2008 at the latest and thereafter by 31 August each year at the latest, an annual report in accordance with the model set out in the Annex on the results of the checks carried out in the preceding annual inspection period and containing at least the following information:
(a) the number of holdings in the Member State concerned;
(b) the number of checks on holdings;
(c) the total number of animals registered at the beginning of the reporting period;
(d) the number of animals which have been checked;
(e) any results of checks that show non-compliance with Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 by keepers;
(f) any penalty imposed in accordance with Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 21/2004.
Entry into force and applicability
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

COUNCIL DECISION
of 28 November 2006
establishing, in accordance with Article 104(8), that the action taken by Poland in response to the Recommendation of the Council in accordance with Article 104(7) of the Treaty establishing the European Community is proving to be inadequate
(2006/1014/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 104(8) thereof,
Having regard to the recommendation from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) According to Article 104 of the Treaty, Member States are to avoid excessive government deficits.
(2) The Stability and Growth Pact is based on the objective of sound government finances as a means of strengthening the conditions for price stability and for strong sustainable growth conducive to employment creation. The Stability and Growth Pact includes Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 of 7 July 1997 on speeding up and clarifying the implementation of the excessive deficit procedure (1) which was adopted to further the prompt correction of excessive general government deficits.
(3) The Resolution of the Amsterdam European Council of 17 June 1997 (2) solemnly invited all parties, namely the Member States, the Council and the Commission, to implement the Treaty and the Stability and Growth Pact in a strict and timely manner.
(4) The Eurostat Decision of 2 March 2004 on the sectoral classification of pension schemes (3) established that a defined-contributions funded scheme cannot be classified as a social security scheme. This scheme cannot therefore be considered as part of general government. This was a framework decision which required bilateral discussions with Member States before implementation. In the context of those discussions, Eurostat acknowledged that ‘some Member States might need a transitional period to implement the decision and to avoid disruptions in the conduct of their budgetary policies’ (4). The transitional period, allowed by Eurostat, will expire with the first fiscal notification of 2007, due by 1 April 2007. Poland decided to avail itself of this transitional period. Therefore, social contributions and other revenue collected (and expenditure incurred) by funded defined-contribution schemes have been recorded as government revenue (and expenditure), which result in deficit and debt figures being smaller than otherwise.
(5) By Decision 2005/183/EC (5) of 5 July 2004, it was decided, in accordance with Article 104(6) of the Treaty, that an excessive deficit existed in Poland.
(6) In accordance with Article 104(7) of the Treaty and Article 3(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1467/97, on 5 July 2004 the Council also adopted a recommendation to the Polish authorities to bring the existence of an excessive deficit to an end as rapidly as possible and to take action in a medium-term framework to achieve the objective of bringing the deficit below 3 % of GDP by 2007 in a credible and sustainable manner, in accordance with the path for deficit reduction specified in the convergence programme submitted by the authorities in May 2004 and endorsed in the Council opinion of 5 July 2004, with the following annual targets: 5,7 % of GDP in 2004, 4,2 % of GDP in 2005, 3,3 % in 2006 and 1,5 % of GDP in 2007. The Council established the deadline of 5 November 2004 to take effective action ‘regarding the measures envisaged to achieve the 2005 deficit target’.
(7) The deficit-reduction path endorsed by the Council on 5 July 2004 did not include the cost of the pension reform implemented in 1999. About 20 % of the revenue from pension contributions has been redirected from the pay-as-you-go system to the fully-funded defined-contribution pension schemes. At the time of the recommendation under Article 104(7), the Council took explicitly into account the fact that the deficit targets would have to be revised upwards, with an estimated annual cost of the Polish pension reform of around 1,5 % of GDP. In view of this, and also of the prevailing negative risks attached to the budgetary consolidation strategy, the Council pointed out in its opinion on the May 2004 convergence programme that ‘the budgetary stance in the programme may not be sufficient to reduce the deficit below 3 % of GDP during the programme period’ (i.e. by 2007).
(8) After the expiry of the deadline of 5 November 2004 set in the Council recommendation under Article 104(7), the Commission concluded, in its Communication to the Council of 14 December 2004, that no further steps were necessary under the excessive deficit procedure for Poland as the Polish government had taken effective action regarding the measures envisaged to achieve the 2005 deficit target.
(9) On 17 February 2005, the Council delivered its opinion on the November 2004 update of the convergence programme of Poland. The update revised the 2007 deficit target upwards to 2,2 % of GDP in 2007 (from 1,5 % in the May 2004 convergence programme), i.e. about 3,7 % of GDP including the cost of pension reform. This upward revision occurred in spite of continued strong growth (projected in the programme to average more than 5 % per annum), while deficit outcomes/projections for the years 2004 to 2006 were all lowered, due to measures taken by the government, stronger economic growth as well as statistical revisions. The Council noticed a risk of a delayed or incomplete implementation of the fiscal adjustment measures. Referring to the negative risks attached to the budgetary consolidation strategy, the Council invited Poland inter alia to strengthen the fiscal adjustment beyond 2005 and lower the deficit target for 2007. In effect, only a small number of measures was implemented. The fiscal outcome for 2005 was nevertheless better than expected at 2,5 % of GDP.
(10) On 14 March 2006, the Council adopted its opinion on the January 2006 update of the convergence programme of Poland. The update aimed at a slow reduction of the general government deficit (by about 0,3 % of GDP annually on average in the period 2006 to 2008) in order to meet the budgetary convergence criteria by the end of the legislature (i.e. by the end of 2009). Also, while deficit outcomes and projections for the years 2004 to 2006 were again revised downward, due to measures taken by the government, stronger economic growth as well as statistical revisions, the programme confirmed the deficit target for 2007 at 2,2 % of GDP (with the cost of the pension reform not included). Given the upward revision of the pension reform cost to 2 %, due to better-than-expected labour market developments and higher participation in the new pension system, the 2007 deficit target including this cost was 0,4 percentage points of GDP higher than in the previous update (4,1 % of GDP compared to 3,7 % of GDP). The Council pointed to various risks attached to the budgetary consolidation strategy, such as relatively favourable growth assumptions in the last year of the programme period (2008), relatively optimistic assumptions about tax elasticities and possible difficulties with expenditure control in the face of social spending pressures. The Council concluded that ‘the convergence programme envisages some progress, but not the effective correction of the excessive deficit in 2007’. In addition, the Council mentioned that the planned adjustment in the structural balance (i.e. the cyclically-adjusted balance net of one-off and other temporary measures calculated by the Commission services on the basis of the information provided in the programme according to the commonly agreed methodology) was planned to improve on average by 0,25 % of GDP per year over the programme period.
(11) The draft budget for 2007, adopted on 27 September 2006, estimates the 2006 deficit at 2,1 % of GDP (pension reform cost not included), compared to 2,6 % of GDP targeted in the January 2006 update of the convergence programme (and 3,3 % underlying the July 2004 Council recommendation under Article 104(7)). The more positive outcome reflects higher revenues (especially personal income tax) owing to stronger-than-projected growth as well as more contained expenditure growth, notably lower-than-planned public investment. The draft 2007 budget presents the following deficit targets for the subsequent years: 1,7 % in 2007, 1,2 % in 2008 and 0,5 % in 2009.
(12) The assessment of the action taken by Poland to correct the excessive deficit by 2007 in response to the Council recommendation under Article 104(7) leads to the following conclusions:
— The revised 2007 deficit target of 1,7 % of GDP (excluding pension reform costs), in the draft budget for 2007, is above the target of 1,5 % of GDP endorsed in the Council recommendation of 5 July 2004 for the correction of the excessive deficit. The revision of the 2007 deficit occurred against the background of much lower deficit outcomes in the period 2004 to 2006 than foreseen in the Recommendation.
— The transition period for implementing the Eurostat Decision of 2 March 2004 on the classification of funded pension schemes will expire with the first notification in 2007 due by 1 April. The inclusion of the higher than previously projected pension reform cost leads to a 2007 deficit target of around 3,7 % of GDP.
— Commission services’ autumn 2006 forecast projects the 2007 deficit by 0,3 % of GDP higher than targeted by the Polish authorities. In particular, revenues from direct taxes are expected to be lower than planned by the authorities, while social expenditure and public investment are likely to be higher.
(13) This leads to the conclusion that, while there has been an improvement in the fiscal position and Poland has so far over-achieved its budgetary targets, on the basis of current information the 2007 deficit would clearly exceed the 3 % of GDP deficit reference value which is not in line with the recommendations of the Council for a correction of the excessive deficit by the 2007 deadline.
The action taken by Poland in response to the Council Recommendation of 5 July 2004 under Article 104(7) of the Treaty is proving to be inadequate to correct the excessive deficit within the deadline fixed by the Recommendation.

(82/947/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/457/EEC of 29 September 1970 on the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species (1), as last amended by Directive 80/1141/EEC (2), and in particular Article 15 (2), (3) and (7) thereof,
Having regard to the application lodged by the United Kingdom,
Whereas under Article 15 (1) of the said Directive, seed or propagating material of varieties of agricultural plant species which have been officially accepted during 1980 in one or more Member States and which also meet the conditions laid down in the said Directive are, with effect from 31 December 1982, no longer subject to any marketing restrictions relating to variety in the Community;
Whereas, however, Article 15 (2) of the said Directive provides that a Member State may be authorized upon application to prohibit the marketing of seed and propagating material of certain varieties;
Whereas the United Kingdom has applied for such authorization for a certain number of varieties of different species;
Whereas the varieties listed in this Decision have been the subject of official growing trials in the United Kingdom; whereas the results of these trials have led the United Kingdom to decide that these varieties are not sufficiently distinct there;
Whereas in respect of the varieties Sally (red clover) and Pepite (barley), the results of the trials show that in the United Kingdom, when compared with the national rules governing the acceptance of varieties there, which apply as part of current Community provisions, they are not distinct from other varieties accepted therein (first subparagraph of Article 15 (3) (a) thereof);
Whereas in respect of the variety Campremy (common wheat), the results of the trials show that in the United Kingdom, when compared with the national rules governing the acceptance of varieties there, which apply as part of current Community provisions, this is not sufficiently homogeneous with regard to a certain number of characteristics therein (Article 15 (3) (a) third case, of the said Directive);
Whereas, therefore, the application of the United Kingdom in respect of these varieties should be granted in full;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seed and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
The United Kingdom is hereby authorized to prohibit the marketing in its territory of seed of the following varieties listed in the 1983 common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species:
I. Fodder plants:
Trifolium pratense L.
Sally
II. Cereals:
1. Hordeum vulgare L.
Pepite
2. Triticum aestivum L.
Campremy
The authorization under Article 1 shall be withdrawn as soon as it is established that the conditions thereof are no longer satisfied.
The United Kingdom shall notify the Commission of the date from which it makes use of the authorization
under Article 1 and the detailed methods to be followed. The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.
This Decision is addressed to the United Kingdom. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0.333333 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers(1), as last amended by Commission Directive 2001/116/EC(2), and in particular Article 13(2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 71/320/EEC of 26 July 1971 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the braking devices of certain categories of motor vehicles and their trailers(3), as last amended by Commission Directive 98/12/EC(4), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 71/320/EEC is one of the separate Directives of the EC type-approval procedure which has been established by Directive 70/156/EEC. Consequently, the provisions laid down in Directive 70/156/EEC relating to vehicle systems, components and separate technical units apply to Directive 71/320/EEC.
(2) It is not considered necessary to apply the requirements concerning the approval of after-market replacement brake lining assemblies to those assemblies used in the approval of the braking system, provided such assemblies can be identified in accordance with the requirements of this Directive.
(3) It is necessary to clarify the application of Directive 71/320/EEC to the after-market replacement brake lining assemblies with regard to their marking and packaging. Differentiation needs to be made between those replacement brake lining assemblies that are identical to the original equipment supplied for the specified vehicles and those that are not.
(4) Directive 71/320/EEC should be amended accordingly;
(5) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for adaptation to technical progress established by Directive 70/156/EEC,
Annexes I, IX and XV to Directive 71/320/EEC are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.
With effect from 1 January 2003 Member States shall not, on grounds relating to vehicle braking systems prohibit the sale or entry into service of replacement brake linings if the replacement brake linings comply with the requirements of Directive 71/320/EEC, as amended by this Directive.
1. With effect from 1 June 2003 Member States may, on grounds relating to vehicle braking systems prohibit the sale or entry into service of replacement brake linings if the replacement brake linings do not comply with the requirements of Directive 71/320/EEC, as amended by this Directive.
2. Notwithstanding the provision of paragraph 1, for the purpose of replacement parts, Member States shall permit the sale or entry into service of replacement brake linings intended for fitting to vehicle types for which type-approval was granted prior to the entry into force of Directive 71/320/EEC, as amended by Directive 98/12/EC, and on condition that such replacement brake linings do not contravene the provisions of the previous version of Directive 71/320/EEC, as amended by Directive 98/12/EC, which was applicable at the time of entry into service of these vehicles. In any case these brake linings shall not contain asbestos.
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 31 December 2002 at the latest. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 3234/94 of 20 December 1994 on the suspension of the import levy on sheepmeat and goatmeat sector products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Community has voluntary restraint agreements with Romania and Iceland and equivalent unilateral arrangements established by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3643/85 of 19 December 1985 concerning the import arrangements applicable to certain third countries in the sheepmeat and goatmeat sector as from 1986 (1);
Whereas, pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 3609/93 of 22 December 1992 on the suspension of the import levy on sheepmeat and goatmeat sector products (2), the levy on the import of live sheep and goats and sheepmeat and goatmeat from the abovementioned countries in particular has been suspended until 31 December 1994;
Whereas a voluntary restraint agreement was concluded with the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1981; whereas, while the substance of the Agreement remained unchanged, certain details of the management of the import arrangements laid down were suspended and replaced by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3125/92 of 26 October 1992 on the arrangements applicable to the importation into the Community of sheepmeat and goatmeat products originating in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro, Serbia and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (3);
Whereas it is necessary to provide for interim arrangements for trade in the sheepmeat and goatmeat sectors, pending the implementation for this sector of the access in the Uruguay Round of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade on 1 July 1995;
Whereas negotiations with Argentina, Australia, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, New Zealand, Poland, the Slovak Republic and Uruguay have led to the extension of the adjustments to the voluntary restraint agreements until 30 June 1995 and consequently the collection of the levy applicable to those countries is suspended until that date;
Whereas it appears appropriate to extend the above suspension, subject to certain quantitative limits, to all supplier countries,
Notwithstanding the voluntary restraint agreements concluded with Romania, Iceland and the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and notwithstanding Regulation (EEC) No 3643/85, the collection of the levy on imports of sheepmeat and goatmeat sector products falling within CN codes 0204, 0104 1030, 0104 1080 and 0104 2090 from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Iceland, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Romania, Slovenia and the countries referred to in the said Regulation shall be suspended until 30 June 1995.
For the countries referred to in the agreements referred to in the first subparagraph the quantity for the first six months of 1995 will be 50 % of the figure agreed for the whole of the year 1995, but it may be exceeded by up to 20 %, which will be taken into account during the subsequent period.
The procedures for applying this Regulation shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 30 of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 (4).
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 January 1995.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC (1), and in particular Article 18(1) and (7) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (2), and in particular Article 22(1) and (6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 of 8 August 2008 laying down a list of third countries, territories, zones or compartments from which poultry and poultry products may be imported into and transit through the Community and the veterinary certification requirements (3) lays down veterinary certification conditions for imports into and transit through the Community of poultry and certain products thereof. In the interests of clarity and consistency of Community rules, it is appropriate that the definitions of poultry and hatching eggs in that Regulation be taken into account for the purposes of this Decision.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 318/2007 of 23 March 2007 laying down animal health conditions for imports of certain birds into the Community and the quarantine conditions thereof (4) lays down the animal health conditions for imports of certain birds into the Community from third countries and parts thereof. In the interests of clarity and consistency of Community rules, it is appropriate that the definition of birds in that Regulation be taken into account for the purposes of this Decision.
(3) Commission Decision 2006/265/EC of 31 March 2006 concerning certain protection measures in relation to a suspicion of highly pathogenic avian influenza in Switzerland (5) and Commission Decision 2006/533/EC of 28 July 2006 concerning certain temporary protection measures in relation to highly pathogenic avian influenza in Croatia (6) were adopted following positive findings for highly pathogenic avian influenza of subtype H5N1 in wild birds in both of those third countries. Those Decisions provided that Member States are to suspend imports from certain parts of Croatia and Switzerland of live poultry, ratites, farmed and wild feathered game and certain other live birds, including pet birds and hatching eggs of those species, as well as certain products of birds. Decisions 2006/265/EC and 2006/533/EC have been consolidated in one act and the duration of the measures prolonged until 30 June 2009 by Commission Decision 2008/555/EC of 26 June 2008 concerning certain protection measures in relation to highly pathogenic avian influenza of the subtype H5N1 in Croatia and Switzerland (7).
(4) Commission Decision 2006/415/EC of 14 June 2006 concerning certain protection measures in relation to highly pathogenic avian influenza of the subtype H5N1 in poultry in the Community (8) lays down certain biosecurity and restriction measures to prevent the spread of that disease, including the establishment of areas A and B following a suspected or confirmed outbreak of the disease in poultry.
(5) Commission Decision 2006/563/EC of 11 August 2006 concerning certain protection measures in relation to highly pathogenic avian influenza of subtype H5N1 in wild birds in the Community (9) lays down certain protection measures to prevent the spread of that disease from wild birds to poultry including, based on risk assessment, the establishment of control and monitoring areas taking into account the epidemiological, geographical and ecological factors following a suspected or confirmed positive finding for that disease in wild birds.
(6) Croatia has notified the Commission that the competent authorities of that third country are applying protection measures that are equivalent to those applied by the competent authorities of the Member States, as provided in Decision 2006/563/EC, when highly pathogenic avian influenza of H5N1 subtype is suspected or confirmed in wild birds and that it will immediately notify the Commission of any future changes to its animal health status, including specifically any positive findings of that disease in wild birds.
(7) Switzerland has notified the Commission that the competent authorities of that country are applying protection measures that are equivalent to those applied by the competent authorities of the Member States, as provided for in Decisions 2006/415/EC and 2006/563/EC, when highly pathogenic avian influenza of subtype H5N1 is suspected or confirmed in poultry or wild birds and that it will immediately notify the Commission of any future changes to its animal health status, including specifically any outbreak or positive findings of that disease in poultry or wild birds. Account should also be taken of the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on trade in agricultural products (10).
(8) The Commission will immediately inform the Member States and forward any such information received from the competent authorities of Croatia and Switzerland to them.
(9) In the light of the current epidemiological situation as regards highly pathogenic avian influenza of subtype H5N1 in the Community and in third countries, and in view of the guarantees received from Croatia, it is appropriate that in the event of a positive finding of that disease in a wild bird in the territory of Croatia, Community protection measures concerning that country are only applied to those parts of Croatia for which the competent authority of that country does apply equivalent protection measures as laid down in Decision 2006/563/EC.
(10) In view of the guarantees received from Switzerland, it is appropriate that in the event of a positive finding of avian influenza of subtype H5N1 in a wild bird or an outbreak of that disease in poultry in the territory of Switzerland, protection measures concerning that country are only applied to those parts of Switzerland for which the competent authority of that country does apply equivalent protection measures as laid down in Decisions 2006/415/EC and 2006/563/EC.
(11) Commission Decision 2007/777/EC of 29 November 2007 laying down the animal and public health conditions and model certificates for imports of certain meat products and treated stomachs, bladders and intestines for human consumption from third countries (11) lays down the list of third countries from which Member States may authorise the importation of meat products and treated stomachs, bladders and intestines, and establishes treatment regimes considered effective in inactivating the respective pathogens. In order to prevent the risk of disease transmission via such products, appropriate treatment must be applied depending on the health status of the country of origin and the species the products are obtained from. It is therefore appropriate that a derogation from the provision suspending imports of meat products of wild feathered game originating in Croatia and Switzerland should be granted, provided the products have been treated to a temperature of at least 70 °C throughout the products.
(12) Decision 2008/555/EC is applicable until 30 June 2009. In the light of the ongoing epidemiological situation it is appropriate to extend the measures it provided for until 31 December 2010.
(13) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
1. Member States shall suspend imports or the introduction into the Community from that part of the territory of Croatia referred to in paragraph 2(a) and from that part of the territory of Switzerland referred to in paragraph 2(b) of the following commodities:

(b) as regards Switzerland, all areas of the territory of Switzerland for which the competent authorities of Switzerland do formally apply protection measures that are equivalent to those laid down in Decisions 2006/415/EC and 2006/563/EC.
3. By way of derogation from paragraph 1(e), Member States shall authorise imports and the introduction into the Community of meat products consisting of or containing meat of wild feathered game under the condition that the meat of these species has undergone at least one of the specific treatments referred to under points B, C or D in Part 4 of Annex II to Decision 2007/777/EC.
Member States shall immediately take the necessary measures to comply with this Decision and publish those measures. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1738/92 (2), and in particular Article 7 (5) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3492/90 of 27 November 1990 laying down the factors to be taken into consideration in the annual accounts for the financing of intervention measures in the form of public storage by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guarantee Section (3), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
Whereas Article 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1581/86 of 23 May 1986 laying down general rules for intervention on the market in cereals (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2203/90 (5), provides that cereals held by the intervention agency are to be disposed of by invitation to tender;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1836/82 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 966/93 (7), lays down the procedure and the conditions for the disposal of cereals held by intervention agencies;
Whereas, as a result of the persisting drought, certain regions of Spain are suffering from a severe shortage of fodder and fodder grain; whereas this situation is a threat to stockfarmers, who, being unable to obtain fodder at a reasonable price, may be forced to sell their livestock prematurely; whereas appropriate action should be taken in order to avoid such negative consequences;
Whereas Spain has large intervention stocks, part of which are stored in regions other than those affected; whereas Spain has notified the reasons necessitating the transport to the affected regions of quantities of fodder grain taken over by this intervention agency; whereas these reasons justify the approval of such transport at the lowest cost;
Whereas stockfarming has been particularly affected by the drought; whereas the use of the cereals should therefore be limited to drought-stricken stockfarmers established in those regions; whereas all necessary measures must be taken by the Member State to monitor such use;
Whereas a security must be put up to gaurantee the performance of the operation;
Whereas the provision of fodder grain is insufficient to resolve the existing difficulties facing stockfarmers; whereas, in view of the special circumstances, deferred payment for cereals purchased should be permitted;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
1. The Spanish intervention agency, hereinafter known as SENPA, shall, under the conditions laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 1836/82, issue a standing invitation to tender for the resale of 120 000 tonnes of barley and 30 000 tonnes of rye held by it with a view to disposal to drought-stricken stockfarmers in Cádiz, Badajoz, Cáceres, Córdoba, Granada, Málaga, Sevilla, Ciudad Real, Toledo, Jaén, Salamanca, Ávila, Zamora and Huelva.
2. Without prejudice to the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 1836/82, the following special rules shall apply to this invitation to tender:
- the cereals shall be disposed of by invitation to tender in drought-stricken regions in the form of a mixture prepared by the SENPA of approximately 15 % rye and 85 % barley,
- only stockfarmers in the regions listed or their authorized agents may submit tenders,
- the offers are made with reference to the actual quality of the corresponding lot,
- the security referred to in Article 13 (4) second indent of Regulation (EEC) No 1836/82 is not to be furnished,
- the tender selected must be at least 95 % of the intervention price referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75, applicable on the last day on which tenders may submitted,
- a security equal to the intervention price must be furnished by the successful tenderer to guarantee payment for the cereals disposed of by invitation to tender; the security is released on payment,
- the final date for the invitation to tender shall be 31 May 1993.
By way of derogation from the first paragraph of Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 1836/82, cereals disposed of by invitation to tender shall be paid for at the end of the sixth month following the month in which the contract was awarded.
The quantities of cereals for which tenders are invited shall be made available to tenderers by SENPA without delay, SENPA shall be responsible for the transport of the cereals from the place of storage to the place of disposal. This shall be approved in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) 3492/90. SENPA shall reimburse transport costs on presentation of transport invoices up to ECU 20 per tonne as well as, where necessary, the costs of additional entries and removals.
1. The Spanish authorities shall take the necessary steps to guarantee the performance of the operation and inform the Commission of them.
2. SENPA shall keep separate accounts for this operation.

of 7 September 2005
amending Council Decision 2001/51/EC establishing a programme relating to the Community framework strategy on gender equality and Decision No 848/2004/EC establishing a Community action programme to promote organisations active at European level in the field of equality between men and women
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 13(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (1),
Whereas:
(1) The Council by Decision 2001/51/EC (2), established a programme relating to the Community framework strategy on gender equality to improve the understanding of issues related to gender equality, promote and disseminate the values and practices underlying gender equality and develop the capacity of players to promote gender equality effectively.
(2) The European Parliament and the Council by Decision No 848/2004/EC (3), established a Community Action Programme to promote organisations active at European level in the field of equality between men and women to support the activities of such organisations of which an ongoing programme of work or a specific measure serves the general European interest in the field of equality between men and women or pursues an objective which is part of the European Union's policy in this area.
(3) Both programmes expire on 31 December 2005. It is essential to ensure the continuity of Community policy for the promotion of gender equality in view of the objectives enshrined in Article 13 of the Treaty.
(4) It is necessary to extend the programmes for a one-year transitional period until a new multi-annual framework programme on the financing of actions in the employment and social field for the period 2007 to 2013 including a strand on gender equality is established.
(5) Decision 2001/51/EC was based on Article 13 of the Treaty. However, following the amendments introduced by the Treaty of Nice, Article 13(2) constitutes the specific legal basis for the adoption of Community incentive measures intended to contribute to the combating of discrimination. It is therefore appropriate to base the amendment of Decision 2001/51/EC on Article 13(2),
Decision 2001/51/EC is hereby amended as follows:
1. in Article 1, the date ‘31 December 2005’ shall be replaced by ‘31 December 2006’;
2. Article 11(1) shall be replaced by the following:
Decision No 848/2004/EC is hereby amended as follows:
1. in Article 1(3), the date ‘31 December 2005’ shall be replaced by ‘31 December 2006’;

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas in the wake of the exceptionally cold winter of 1986/1987 the Community applied, during several months in 1987, measures involving the supply of various foods to charitable organizations for distribution to the most deprived persons in the Community;
Whereas reports from the Member States and from various of the charitable organizations involved in these measures show that they were of considerable value to the beneficiaries, but also that they give rise to financial and distributive difficulties for several of the organizations in question;
Whereas the Community has through its intervention stocks of various agricultural products the potential means to make a significant contribution towards the well-being of its most deprived citizens ; whereas it is in the Community interest, and in line with the objectives of the common agricultural policy, to exploit this potential on a durable basis until the stocks have been run down to a normal level by introducing appropriate measures ; whereas experience gained from the application of the measures referred to above should help in the organization of any subsequent action of a similar nature ; whereas it is appropriate to consolidate in one text the legal basis for the implementation of such measures,
Provisions shall be made for goods which are in intervention stocks to be made available to certain designated organizations to enable food to be distributed to the most deprived persons in the Community. Such persons shall receive the food free of charge or at a price which in no case is greater than that justified by the costs incurred by the designated organizations in implementing the action. The distribution shall be made in accordance with an annual plan established by the Commission on the basis of the information supplied by the Member States.
1. The organizations referred to in Article 1 shall be designated by the Member State concerned.
2. Those Member States wishing to apply this scheme shall notify the Commission in due time each year.
Goods referred to in Article 1 shall be released free of charge to the designated organizations. The accounting value of such goods shall be the intervention price, adjusted by coefficients where necessary to take account of quality differences.
Subject to the detailed rules of application referred to in Article 6, the expenditure arising from operations applied in conformity with this Regulation is to be considered as forming part of the expenditure to stabilize agricultural markets as provided for in Article 1 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 (2) Thus, the goods made available under the provisions of Article 1 of this Regulation shall be financed by appropriations in the relevant budgetary heading within the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guarantee Section, of the budget of the European Communities. Provision may also be made for this financing to contribute towards the costs of transport of produce from intervention centres and for administrative costs for the designated organizations generated by the implementation of this scheme, excluding any costs which may be borne by the beneficiaries within the framework of the application of Article 1. (1) OJ No C 318, 30.11.1987. (2) OJ No L 94, 28.4.1970, p. 14.
The Commission shall submit to the European Parliament and to the Council a report on the operation of this scheme as soon as possible after information on its first two years of operation is available.

31989D0511 | 89/511/EEC: Commission Decision of 22 August 1989 terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of hydraulic excavators originating in Japan
| COMMISSION DECISION
of 22 August 1989
terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of hydraulic excavators originating in Japan
(89/511/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
After consultations within the Advisory Committee as provided for by that Regulation,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) In April 1988 the Commission received a complaint lodged by the Syndicat national des industries d'équipement (MTPS) on behalf of producers representing the majority of Community production of hydraulic excavators under six tonnes in weight. The complaint contained evidence of dumping of the product concerned originating in Japan and of material injury resulting therefrom, which was considered sufficient to warrant the opening of an investigation. The Commission accordingly announced, by notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (2), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of self-propelled excavators under six tonnes in weight with a 360° revolving superstructure falling within CN code ex 8429 52 00 originating in Japan, and commenced an investigation.
(2) The Commission officially notified the exporters and importers known to be concerned, the representatives of the exporting country and the complainant and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing. Most of the producers/exporters and importers known to be concerned made known their views in writing. Most of them requested and were granted hearings.
(3) The Commission sought and verified all the information it considered necessary for a determination of injury. On-the-spot investigations were carried out at the premises of the following companies:
(a) Community producers
- Ecomat SA, Belley, France and its sales company Pel Job, Alby sur Chéran, France,
- JC Bamford Excavators, Rochester, United Kingdom,
- Macmoter SpA, Modigliana, Italy,
- Vermeer Holland BV,. Hoofddorp, Netherlands;
(b) Importers/distributors
- Komatsu Baumaschinen Deutschland GmbH, Gross-Gerau-Dorheim, Germany,
- NV Komatsu Europe SA, Vilvoorde, Belgium,
- SA Kubota Europe, Argenteuil, France,
- Kubota (UK) Limited, Oxon, United Kingdom,
- NV Verbist, Breendonk, Belgium,
- Saville Tractors Limited, Stratford-upon-Avon, United Kingdom,
- Imer France, Vif, France.
(4) The investigation period set pursuant to Article 7 (1) (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 covered the period 1 April 1987 to 31 May 1988.
B. INJURY
(5) In order to determine whether or not the allegedly dumped imports caused material injury to the Community industry, the Commission took into consideration the following facts:
(a) Volume, market share and price of imports
(i) Volume
(6) Imports into the Community of small hydraulic excavators originating in Japan increased from 2 706 units in 1984 to 5 443 in 1986. The imports during the investigation period reached 6 733 units on a yearly basis. There were no imports of any importance from other third countries during the investigation period.
(ii) Consumption and market shares
(7) The Community consumption of the hydraulic excavators concerned has been calculated on the basis of the number of units exported from Japan by the exporters concerned and the sales by EEC producers. It was found that the consumption per annum of the product concerned, increased from 2 940 units in 1984 to 8 590 units during the investigation period, i. e. an increase of 192 %.
In terms of market share the Japanese exporters' market share decreased from 92 % in 1984 to 78,4 % during the investigation period,. while the Community producers increased their share of the market from 8 % to 21,6 % during the same period.
(iii) Prices
(8) The evidence available to the Commission shows that during the investigation period the prices of the imports were in certain cases lower than those charged by the Community producers. On the basis of a representative selection of sales during the investigation period and using the model comparison proposed by the EEC industry the price undercutting by the Japanese exporters amounted on average to 1,2 %.
(b) Effect on Community industry
(9) The Commission found that two companies, JC Bamford Excavators Ltd, and O & K Orenstein und Koppel Aktiengesellschaft, did not manufacture the product in question during the investigation period. A third company, Smalley Excavators Limited, did not reply to the Commission's questionnaire. The effect on Community industry has therefore only been examined for those companies which effectively manufactured the product which is the subject of the proceeding:
- Ecomat SA and its related sales subsidiary Pel Job SA,
- Macmoter SpA,
- Vermeer-Holland BV,
(i) Community production
(10) With regard to the production of the Community producers concerned, it was found that there was an increase from 292 units in 1984 to 2 068 units during the investigation period on a yearly basis.
(ii) Sales
(11) It was found that sales of Community producers increased from 234 units in 1984 to 1 857 units during the investigation period on a yearly basis.
(iii) Consumption and market share
(12) The development of the production and sales of the Community producers concerned was assessed in the light of the development of the consumption and market share of the Community industry as described above. The market share held by the Community producers was about 8 % in 1984, and increased to 21,6 % during the investigation period.
(iv) Capacity and capacity utilization
(13) The production capacity per annum increased from 600 units in 1984 to 3 400 units during the investigation period. Capacity utilization increased from 49 % to 60 % in the same period.
(v) Prices
(14) The sales prices of the Community producers concerned decreased initially during 1985 and 1986 to increase subsequently thoughout 1987 until the end of the investigation period on 31 May 1988.
(vi) Profits
(15) With regard to profitability it was found that all Community producers made profits during the investigation period representing an improvement from previous years when some producers were making losses.
(c) Conclusion on injury
(16) The above data indicate that, despite the growth in Japanese imports into the Community and the existence of some price undercutting, the European producers were able to increase production, capacity, capacity utilization and share of the Community market. They were able to sell at prices which allowed positive financial results to be achieved.
In the light of these findings it is considered that the Community producers concerned did not suffer material injury during the investigation period.
C. DUMPING
(17) In view of the above findings with respect to injury the Commission considered it unnecessary to investigate further the question of dumping with regard to the imports concerned.
D. CONCLUSION
(18) In these circumstances, given the actual market situation during the investigation period, protective measures are unnecessary and the proceeding should be terminated. This does not, of course, preclude the possibility of a new investigation being initiated if a new complaint were lodged showing evidence of changed circumstances,
The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of hydraulic excavators originating in Japan is hereby terminated. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on support for rural development by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 (1), and in particular Articles 52(4) and 53(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) A European network for rural development was put in place in accordance with Article 52(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 for the networking of national networks, organisations, and administrations active in the field of rural development at Union level.
(2) A European Innovation Partnership (‘EIP’) network was put in place in accordance with Article 53(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 to support the EIP for agricultural productivity and sustainability referred to in Article 55 of that Regulation and to enable the networking of operational groups, advisory services and researchers.
(3) It is therefore necessary to adopt rules setting out the organisational structure and operation of both the European network for rural development ( ‘the ENRD’) and the EIP network.
(4) With a view to achieve the objectives of rural networking at the European level set up in Articles 52(2) and 53(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013, and to carry out the tasks provided for in Articles 52(3) and 53(3) of that Regulation for the ENRD and the EIP network respectively, it is necessary to set up a Rural Networks' Assembly and to define its tasks and its structure, in accordance with the White Paper from the Commission entitled European governance (2), and in accordance with the Communication from the President to the Commission entitled Framework for Commission expert groups: horizontal rules and public register (3) ( ‘Framework for Commission expert groups’).
(5) The Assembly should notably promote exchange and networking among public and private entities active in rural development and innovation for agricultural productivity and sustainability. It should ensure coordination between the ENRD and the EIP network, provide the strategic framework for their activity, including the thematic work, and ensure appropriate monitoring and assessment of the same activity. It should propose the members of the Steering Group.
(6) The Assembly should be composed of national rural networks, managing authorities, paying agencies, organisations active in the field of rural development at Union level, LEADER local action groups, agricultural advisory service providers active in innovation support services linked to operational groups and research institutes active in innovation activities linked to operational groups.
(7) In order to guarantee an open, transparent and balanced representation, the members of the Assembly who are organisations active in the field of rural development at Union level should be those appointed within the civil dialogue group on rural development in accordance with Commission Decision 2013/767/EU (4) (hereinafter ‘civil dialogue group on rural development’).
(8) With a view to ensure an effective and efficient organisation of the activity of the ENRD and of the EIP network, in accordance with the opinions of the Assembly, it is necessary to set up a Rural Networks' Steering Group and to define its tasks and its structure.
(9) The Steering Group should notably prepare, implement and follow-up the activities of the ENRD and of the EIP network. It should coordinate the thematic work of the networks and ensure coordination of the work of the Assembly with that of other expert groups and committees established in the context of rural development and of the European Structural and Investment Funds.
(10) The Steering Group should be composed of managing authorities and/or national rural networks, EU-wide organisations active in the field of rural development, national authorities in charge of the evaluation of rural development programmes, agricultural advisory service providers and/or agricultural research institutes.
(11) With a view to maintain an open and regular exchange between the ENRD, the EIP network and the civil dialogue group on rural development, the chairperson and the vice-chairpersons of the civil dialogue group should be enabled to take part in the meetings of the Steering Group as observers.
(12) Rules on disclosure of information by members of the Assembly and of the Steering Group should be laid down.
(13) Personal data should be processed in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5).
(14) Commission Decision 2008/168/EC (6) provides for the organisational structure of the European Network for Rural Development for the period 2007-2013. That Decision should therefore be repealed.
(15) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Rural Development Committee,

amending, for the purposes of adapting to technical progress, Annex IV to Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards an exemption for lead in micro-channel plates (MCPs)
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2011 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (1), and in particular Article 5(1)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2011/65/EU prohibits the use of lead in electrical and electronic equipment placed on the market.
(2) Micro-channel plates (MCPs) are used for the detection and amplification of ions and electrons in medical devices and monitoring and control instruments. The substitution of lead in MCPs is scientifically and technically impracticable.
(3) The substitution of MCPs as components with alternative detectors is not viable under conditions where extreme miniaturisation, very short response times or very high signal multiplication factors are required. The use of lead in those cases where the performance and specific features of MCPs exceed alternative detectors should therefore be exempted from the prohibition. As currently no lead-free alternatives are in sight, pursuant to Article 5(2) of Directive 2011/65/EU, the validity period of the exemption should be 7 years from the relevant compliance dates for medical devices, monitoring and control instruments, in vitro medical devices and industrial monitoring and control instruments, as laid down in Article 4(3) of Directive 2011/65/EU. In view of the innovation cycles for all medical devices and monitoring and control instruments 7 years is a relatively short transition period which is unlikely to have adverse impacts on innovation.
(4) Directive 2011/65/EU should therefore be amended accordingly,
Annex IV to Directive 2011/65/EU is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by the last day of the sixth month after entry into force at the latest. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
This Directive shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

of 17 November 2014
on the authorisation of a health claim made on foods and referring to the reduction of disease risk
(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 Article 17(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 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) Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 also provides that applications for authorisations of health claims may 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’.
(3) Following receipt of an application the Authority is to inform without delay the other Member States and the Commission thereof, and to deliver an opinion on the health claim concerned.
(4) The Commission is to decide on the authorisation of health claims taking into account the opinion delivered by the Authority.
(5) Following an application from Lactalis B&C, submitted pursuant to Article 14(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, the Authority was asked to deliver an opinion on a health claim related to ‘Low fat and low trans spreadable fat rich in unsaturated and omega-3 fatty acids’ and reduction of LDL-cholesterol concentrations (Question No EFSA-Q-2009-00458) (2). The claim proposed by the applicant was worded as follows: ‘Replacing a fat rich in saturated/trans fatty acids by a fat rich in unsaturated fatty acids helps to reduce LDL cholesterol. LDL cholesterol is a cardiovascular risk factor’.
(6) On the basis of the data presented, the Authority concluded in its opinion received by the Commission and the Member States on 25 May 2011 that a cause and effect relationship had been established between the consumption of mixtures of dietary saturated fatty acids (SFAs) and an increase in blood LDL-cholesterol concentrations, and that replacement of a mixture of SFAs with cis-monounsaturated fatty acids and/or cis-polyunsaturated fatty acids in foods or diets on a gram-per-gram basis reduces LDL-cholesterol concentrations. Accordingly, a health claim reflecting this conclusion should be considered as complying with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, and should be included in the Union list of permitted claims. The clinical intervention study claimed by the applicant as proprietary, was not considered necessary by the Authority for reaching its conclusion. It is therefore considered that the requirement laid down in Article 21(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 is not fulfilled and accordingly, protection of proprietary data should not be granted.
(7) In its opinion, the Authority concludes that in order to bear the claim, significant amounts of saturated fatty acids should be replaced by monounsaturated and/or polyunsaturated fatty acids in foods or diets on a gram-per-gram basis. Therefore, in order to ensure that a food provides significant amounts of monounsaturated and/or polyunsaturated fatty acids, it is appropriate to limit the use of the claim to fats and oils and to set conditions of use as those referred to in the nutrition claim ‘HIGH UNSATURATED FAT’ as laid down in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006.
(8) Article 16(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 provides that an opinion in favour of authorising a health claim is to include certain particulars. Accordingly, those particulars should be set out in the Annex to this Regulation as regards the authorised claim and include, as the case may be, the revised wording of the claim, specific conditions of use of the claim, and, where applicable, conditions or restrictions of use of the food and/or an additional statement or warning, in accordance with the rules laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 and in line with the opinions of the Authority.
(9) 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 wording and presentation are taken into account in that respect. Therefore where the wording of claims 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 indicated in the Annex to this Regulation.
(10) The comments from the applicants and the members of the public 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.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
1. The health claim listed in the Annex to this Regulation may be made on foods placed on the Union market in compliance with the conditions laid down in that Annex.
2. The health claim referred to paragraph 1 shall be included in the Union list of permitted claims as provided for in Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

of 14 May 2001
laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 as regards the grant of flat-rate aid for certain fishery products
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 of 17 December 1999 on the common organisation of the markets in fishery and aquaculture products(1), and in particular Article 24(8) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 24 of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, which repealed Council Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92(2) with effect from 1 January 2001, provides for flat-rate aid to be granted under certain conditions to producer organisations which withdraw from the market products listed in Annex IV to that Regulation.
(2) In the interests of harmonisation and simplification, the procedures required in the context of flat-rate aid should be the same as those which apply to financial compensation and carry-over aid, as set out in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2509/2000 of 15 November 2000 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 as regards granting financial compensation for withdrawals of certain fishery products(3) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 2814/2000 of 21 December 2000 laying down the detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 as regards the grant of carry-over aid for certain fishery products(4). The conditions for granting flat-rate aid should therefore be established on that basis and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 4176/88 of 28 December 1988 laying down detailed rules of application for the granting of flat-rate aid for certain fisheries products(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3516/93(6), should be repealed.
(3) Article 6(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 2406/96 of 26 November 1996 laying down common marketing standards for certain fishery products(7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2578/2000(8), provides that products that are classified as category B are ineligible for the financial assistance granted in respect of withdrawal as provided for in the common market organisation. Given that only Extra, "E" and "A" quality products are eligible for the flat-rate aid described in Article 24 of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, the calculation of the quantities eligible for this aid should be based on these categories of products only.
(4) The conditions to be satisfied by producer organisations in the context of the flat-rate aid scheme should be determined.
(5) The flat-rate aid may be paid only at the end of the fishing year. However, provision should be made for the possibility of granting advances subject to the lodging of a security.
(6) The Member States should be authorised to fix the standard value used in calculating the flat-rate aid broken down according to the destination of the products withdrawn as provided for in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1501/83 of 9 June 1983 on the disposal of certain fishery products which have been the subject of measures to stabilise the market(9), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1106/90(10).
(7) In order to help guarantee product quality and the disposal of these products on the market, the minimum conditions applicable to processing, and the conditions relating to storage and the re-release onto the market of the processed products should be determined.
(8) The recipients of aid should keep a stock record containing the figures for releases onto the market, withdrawals from the market and amounts carried over each month (in kilograms) to increase the efficiency of checks and should supply this information to the Member State. It is sufficient for the purposes of good management of the mechanism to require stock records during the minimum storage periods.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,
CHAPTER I
General provisions
To qualify for flat-rate aid, producer organisations shall send the competent authorities in the Member State the list of products broken down by category and the autonomous withdrawal price referred to in Article 24(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 before the start of the fishing year.
Producer organisations may apply an autonomous withdrawal price exceeding the maximum level referred to in Article 24(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 for one or more product categories. However, they shall lose the right to flat-rate aid for the category or categories for which the maximum level is exceeded.
Flat-rate aid shall be paid to the producer organisation concerned only once the competent authorities in the Member State in question have satisfied themselves that the quantities in respect of which the aid is applied for do not exceed the limit given in Article 24(5) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000.
CHAPTER II
Conditions for granting the flat-rate aid referred to in Article 24(2) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 (hereinafter referred to as "flat-rate compensation")
The requirements set out in Articles 1 to 4 and Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 2509/2000 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the grant of flat-rate compensation.
The Member States shall fix the standard value to be used in calculating the flat-rate compensation and the advances relating thereto, broken down according to the destination of the products withdrawn as referred to in Article 1(b), (c), and (d) of Regulation (EEC) No 1501/83.
The standard value shall be fixed at the beginning of the fishing year and shall be identical for all the producer organisations recognised by the Member State concerned, using as a basis the average receipts from disposal via the outlets for the Member States concerned over the six months preceding the fixing of that value. That level shall be amended if significant and lasting changes in receipts are noted on the market of the Member State concerned.
CHAPTER III
Conditions for granting the flat-rate aid referred to in Article 24(4) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 (hereinafter referred to as "flat-rate premium")
1. The amount of the flat-rate premium shall be fixed before the beginning of each fishing year in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 38(2) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000. The amount shall be fixed per unit weight, to be applied to the net weight of each product listed in Annex IV to that Regulation.
2. The amount of the flat-rate premium shall be calculated on the basis of the real technical and financial costs of operations required for the stabilisation and storage of the products in question as recorded in the Community during the previous fishing year.
3. The following shall be considered as technical costs:
(a) energy costs;
(b) labour costs relating to storage and release from storage;
(c) cost of materials for direct packaging;
(d) processing costs (ingredients);
(e) cost of transport from place of landing to place of processing.
4. The financial costs shall be a flat-rate sum of EUR 10 per tonne for 2001. Thereafter the flat-rate sum shall be adjusted each year using the interest rate set annually in accordance with Article 5 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78(11).
5. The level of the flat-rate premium fixed for the fishing year concerned shall apply to products entering storage during that year, irrespective of the end of the storage period.
Article 3(1) and (2) and Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 2814/2000 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the grant of the flat-rate premium.
The flat-rate premium shall be paid to the producer organisation concerned only once the competent authorities in the Member State concerned have satisfied themselves that the quantities in respect of which the premium is applied for have been either processed and stored, or preserved, and subsequently placed back on the market, in accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 2814/2000.
CHAPTER IV
Final provisions
1. Applications for payment of the flat-rate aid shall be submitted by the producer organisation concerned to the competent authorities of the Member State not later than four months after the end of the fishing year concerned. They shall include at least the information set out in the Annex.
2. Advance payments shall be granted each month at the request of the producer organisation concerned for the quantities withdrawn or carried over, on condition that it lodges a security of at least 105 % of the amount advanced.
3. The amount of the advance payment or payments shall be determined on the basis of the provisional ratio of the quantities withdrawn to the quantities put up for sale during the period concerned. The calculation of the amount shall be adjusted two months after the month concerned on the basis of the transactions actually carried out and reported using the model set out in the Annex.
4. The national authorities shall pay the flat-rate aid within eight months of the end of the fishing year at the latest. Each Member State shall notify the other Member States and the Commission of the name and address of the body designated to pay the flat-rate aid.
1. The Member States shall introduce a system of checks to verify that the information given in applications for payment corresponds to the quantities actually put up for sale and withdrawn from the market by the producer organisation concerned.
2. Producer organisations shall ensure that the beneficiaries of the aid keep a stock record in accordance with the model set out in the Annex.
3. Producer organisations shall communicate the date, species and quantity of products withdrawn or carried over to the Member State each month.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 608/82 (2),
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 7 April 1982, the Federal Republic of Germany has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'Beckman - Analytical Ultracentrifuge, model E', ordered on 10 November 1980 and to be used for structural analysis, in particular the determination and the distribution of the molecular masses of artificial and natural polymers and in particular for the measurement of the sedimentation of artificial macromolecules in solution in intense gravitational fields, should be considered to be a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 20 September 1982 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is an ultracentrifuge;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the precision and the sensibility of the analysis and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of equivalent scientific value capable of use for the same purpose is not currently manufactured in the Community; whereas, therefore, duty-free admission of this apparatus is justified,
The apparatus described as 'Beckman - Analytical Ultracentrifuge, model E', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 7 April 1982, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (1), and in particular Article 5(1)(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under Directive 2002/95/EC the Commission is required to evaluate certain hazardous substances prohibited pursuant to Article 4(1) of that Directive.
(2) Certain materials and components containing lead should be exempted from the prohibition, since the use of these hazardous substances in those specific materials and components is still unavoidable.
(3) Certain materials and components containing lead should be exempted from the prohibition, since the negative environmental, health and/or consumer safety impacts caused by substitution are likely to outweigh the environmental, health and/or consumer safety benefits thereof.
(4) Some exemptions from the prohibition for certain specific materials or components should be limited in their scope, in order to achieve a gradual phase-out of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, given that the use of those substances in such applications will become avoidable.
(5) Pursuant to Article 5(1)(c) of Directive 2002/95/EC each exemption listed in the Annex must be subject to a review at least every four years or four years after an item is added to the list with the aim of considering deletion of materials and components of electrical and electronic equipment if their elimination or substitution via design changes or materials and components which do not require any of the materials or substances referred to in Article 4(1) of that Directive is technically or scientifically possible, provided that the negative environmental, health and/or consumer safety impacts caused by substitution do not outweigh the possible environmental, health and/or consumer safety benefits thereof.
(6) Directive 2002/95/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) Pursuant to Article 5(2) of Directive 2002/95/EC the Commission has consulted producers of electrical and electronic equipment, recyclers, treatment operators, environmental organisations and employee and consumers associations.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 18 of Council Directive 75/442/EEC (2),

Whereas, pursuant to the decision adopted by the International Cocoa Council at its 46th regular session held in London from 9 to 18 September 1993, the deadline for signature and also for ratification, acceptance or approval of the International Cocoa Agreement, 1993 was extended from 1 October 1993 to 28 February 1994;

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Articles 30 and 75 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, pursuant to Articles 30 and 75 of the Act of Accession, the duties applicable on the import into the Community, as constituted on 31 December 1985, of the following quality wines from Spain shall be progressively abolished within the limits of Community tariff quotas:
- 358 120 hectolitres quality wines produced in the specified region of Jerez in containers holding two litres or less, falling within CN codes ex 2204 21 41 and ex 2204 21 51,
- 435 000 hectolitres quality wines produced in the specified region of Jerez in containers holding more than two litres falling within CN codes ex 2204 29 41 and ex 2204 29 51,
- 15 000 hectolitres quality wines produced in the specified region of Malaga in containers holding two litres or less, falling within CN codes ex 2204 21 49 and ex 2204 21 59, and
- 22 008 hectolitres quality wines produced in the specified regions of Jumilla, Priorato, Rioja and Valdepeñas, in containers holding two litres or less, falling within CN codes ex 2204 21 21, ex 2204 21 23, ex 2204 21 31, ex 2204 21 33 and ex 2204 21 49;
Whereas, however, with regard to the quality wines produced in the specified region of Jerez, in order to fulfil better the requirements of the common market, a single overall tariff quota of 793 120 hectolitres should be opened;
Whereas these duties are reduced to 37,5 % of the basic duties on 1 January 1990 and to 25 % of the basic duties on 1 January 1991; whereas, by way of derogation from Article 30 of the Act of Accession, Regulation (EEC) No 4161/87 (1) lays down consequent on the entry into force of the combined nomenclature, the basic duties to be adopted within the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 for the purpose of calculating the successive reductions provided for in the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal;
Whereas, therefore, to establish the duties applicable on the imports of these wines Community tariff quotas should be opened for the period from 1 July 1990 to 30 June 1991 for the abovementioned wines at duties as shown in the list in Article 1;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3792/85 of 20 December 1985 laying down the arrangements applying to trade in agricultural products between Spain and Portugal (2) provides for particular rules for the import into Portugal of the products in question coming from Spain; whereas, consequently, the Community tariff quotas are only applicable in the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985;
Whereas equal and continuous access to the quotas 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 Member States until the quotas are exhausted; whereas they should not be allocated among the Member States, without prejudice to the drawing against the quota volumes of such quantities as they may need, under conditions and according to a procedure laid down in Article 3; whereas 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 and inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any operation concerning the administration of the contingents may be carried out by any one of its members,
From 1 July 1990 to 30 June 1991 the customs duties applicable on the following quality wines produced in the specified regions shall, in the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985, be partially suspended at the levels and within the limits of the Community tariff quotas indicated for each of them:
1.2.3.4,5.6 // // // // // // Order No // CN codes (1) // Description // Rate (ECU/hl) // Quota volume (hectolitres) 1.2.3.4.5.6 // // // // from 1 July to 31 December 1990 // from 1 January to 30 June 1991 // // // // // // // // // // // // // // 09.0317 // ex 2204 21 41 ex 2204 21 51 ex 2204 29 41 ex 2204 29 51 // Sherry // 2,4 2,6 2,4 2,7 // 1,6 1,7 1,6 1,8 // 793 120 // // // // // // // 09.0310 // ex 2204 21 49 ex 2204 21 59 // Wine from Málaga // 3,8 4,3 // 2,5 2,8 // 15 000 // // // // // // // 09.0312 // ex 2204 21 21 ex 2204 21 23 ex 2204 21 31 ex 2204 21 33 ex 2204 21 49 // Wine from Jumilla, Priorato, Rioja, Valdepeñas // 3,7 4,4 5,4 // 2,5 2,9 3,6 // 22 008 // // // // // //
(1) See Taric codes in Annex.
The tariff quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be administered by the Commission, which may take all appropriate administrative measures in order to ensure effective administration thereof.
If an importer presents in a Member State a declaration of entry into free circulation, including a request for preferential benefit for a product covered by this Regulation and if this declaration is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member States concerned shall inform the Commission and draw an amount corresponding to its requirements from the corresponding amount.
The drawing requests, with indication of the date of acceptance of the said declarations, must be transmitted to the Commission without delay.
The drawings are granted by the Commission by reference to the date of acceptance of the declarations of entry into free circulation by the customs authorities of the Member States concerned to the extent that the available balance so permits.
If a Member State does not use the quantities drawn, it shall return them as soon as possible to the corresponding quota amount.
If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the quota amount, allocation shall be made on a pro rata basis with respect to the requests. Member States shall be informed by the Commission of the drawings made.
Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the products in question have equal and continuous access to the quotas for as long as the balance of the relevant quota volumes so permits.
The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 1990.

Whereas Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 3461/85 lays down that campaigns to promote the consumption of grape juice may only be carried out up to the 1989/90 wine year; whereas it should be amended, given that Article 46 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 extended the time for the implementation of these campaigns to 1991/92;

Whereas the campaigns to promote the consumption of grape juice are financed by the Community; whereas, therefore, it would be appropriate for the Community symbol to appear on the material used in these promotional campaigns;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
Regulation (EEC) No 3461/85 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 1 (1) is replaced by the following:
'The campaigns to promote the consumption of grape juice produced in the Community provided for, up to the 1991/92 wine year, in Article 46 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87, shall be organized in those Member States in which:
- the prospects of increasing the disposal of grape juice are the most favourable,

Whereas the intervention period for maize and sorghum ends on 30 April in the south and 31 May in the north; whereas this situation, in view of uncertainties as regards outlets, aggravated by the reduction of intervention prices following the implementation of the reform in the cereals sector, is likely to encourage operators to offer substantial quantities of maize and sorghum for intervention at the end of April in the south and at the end of May in the north, although certain market outlets may be found after that date; whereas this situation may be remedied by allowing buying-in of those cereals in May and June 1993;
Whereas for buying-in of cereals conditions are laid down in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 689/92 of 19 March 1992 fixing the procedure and conditions for the taking-over of cereals by intervention agencies (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2486/92 (3);

(1) Whereas the conditions for the taking over of paddy rice by the intervention agencies are laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 708/98(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 691/1999(4); whereas Article 6(1) of that Regulation provides that delivery must be effected not later than the end of the second month following receipt of the offer and in any case not later than 31 August of the current marketing year;
(2) Whereas during the 1998/99 marketing year the intervention agencies encountered difficulties in setting up a good system for the storage, checking and reception of goods; whereas these difficulties delayed the acceptance of offers made and the taking over of deliveries; whereas, for the 1998/99 marketing year, these difficulties justify a derogation from the time limit set in the abovementioned provisions for delivery to the intervention agency;

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 22 January 1982, the Federal Republic of Germany has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'Nicolet - Data Acquisition System, model MED-80', ordered on 25 August 1980 and to be used for the study of the ontogenetic development of the olfactory faculty in the mouse, the derivation of olfactory evoked potentials of bulbus olfacorius and for the determination of olfactory threshold for natural and artificial scents as a function of age, should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 8 June 1982 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a data acquisition system; whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,
The apparatus described as 'Nicolet - Data Acquisition System, model MED-80', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 22 January 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86 of 22 December 1986 on common rules for imports of certain textile products originating in third countries (1), and in particular Article 11 thereof,
Whereas Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86 lays down the conditions under which quantitative limits may be established; whereas imports into France of certain textile products (category 16) specified in the Annex hereto and originating in the Philippines have exceeded the level referred to in paragraph 3 of the said Article 11;
Whereas, in accordance with paragraph 5 of the said Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86 on 23 June 1987 the Philippines was notified of a request for consultations; whereas, pending a mutually satisfactory solution, the Commission has requested the Philippines for a provisional period of three months to limit exports to France of products falling within category 16 to 23 000 pieces with effect from the date of notification of the request for consultations; whereas pending the outcome of the requested consultations quantitative limits identical to those requested of the supplier country should be applied provisionally to imports of the category of products in question;
Whereas paragraph 13 of the said Article 11 ensures that the quantitative limits are observed by means of a double-checking system in accordance with Annex VI to Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86;
Whereas the products in question exported from the Philippines to the Community between 23 June 1987 and the date of entry into force of this Regulation must be set off against the quantitative limit which has been introduced;
Whereas this quantitative limit should not prevent the importation of products covered by them shipped from the Philippines before the date of entry into force of this Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textile Committee,
Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 2, imports into France of the category of products originating in the Philippines and specified in the Annex hereto shall be subject to the provisional quantitative limit set out in that Annex.
1. Products as referred to in Article 1 shipped from the Philippines to France before the date of entry into force of this Regulation and not yet released for free circulation, shall be so released subject to the presentation of a bill of lading or other transport document proving that shipment actually took place during that period.
2. Imports of products shipped from the Philippines to France after the entry into force of this Regulation shall be subject to the double-checking system described in Annex VI to Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86.
3. All quantities of products shipped from the Philippines or after 23 June 1987 and released for free circulation shall be deducted from the quantitative limit laid down. This provisional limit shall not, however, prevent the importation of products covered by them but shipped from the Philippines before the date of entry into force 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 until 22 September 1987.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),
Whereas the expansion of cork-oak growing and of the cork sector may help in improving agricultural structures, especially in certain Mediterranean regions of the Community;
Whereas the measures provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 currently concern only those cork products which are listed in Annex II to the Treaty, namely those falling
within CN code 4501; whereas these measures should therefore be extended to include processed cork products falling within CN codes 4502, 4503 and 4504, in order that the expansion of the cork sector may have the desired effects in improving the situation of agriculture,
The projects referred to in Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 may also concern the production of the processed products falling within CN codes 4502, 4503 and 4504.

Whereas:
The applications for import licences lodged for April 2004 are greater than the quantities available and must therefore be reduced by a fixed percentage to ensure a fair distribution,
1. Applications for import licences for the period 1 to 30 April 2004 submitted under Regulation (EC) No 1431/94 shall be met as referred to in the Annex to this Regulation.
