31995R1868 | Commission Regulation (EC) No 1868/95 of 26 July 1995 fixing for the 1995/96 marketing year the amount of the aid for the cultivation of certain varieties of grape intended for drying
| COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1868/95 of 26 July 1995 fixing for the 1995/96 marketing year the amount of the aid for the cultivation of certain varieties of grape intended for drying
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 of 24 February 1986 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1032/95 (2), and in particular Article 6 (6) thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86, new aid arrangements in respect of specialized areas for the cultivation of sultanas, currants and muscatels took effect as from the 1990/91 marketing year; whereas these arrangements have gradually replaced the system of production aid provided for in Article 6a;
Whereas, pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article 6a (1) of the abovementioned Regulation, the Community aid per hectare should be set at the level laid down in this Regulation;
Whereas the third subparagraph of Article 6 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 provides for the possibility to differentiate the amount of aid on the basis of the varieties of grapes and on other factors which may affect yield; whereas it is appropriate to provide such a differentiation by a coefficient derived from the ratio of average yield by variety to total average yield; whereas in the case of sultanas provision should be made for further differentiation between areas affected by phylloxera or replanted within the last five years, and other areas;
Whereas, however, it is appropriate to provide that areas having a yield lower than a threshold differentiated for the varieties concerned shall not be considered as specialized areas for the application of the aid arrangements; whereas, therefore, aid shall not be granted for the cultivation of such areas;
Whereas it is necessary to determine the aid to be granted to producers who replant their vineyards in order to combat phylloxera under the conditions laid down in Article 6 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86;
Whereas verification of the areas used for growing these grapes has revealed no overrun of the maximum guaranteed area fixed in Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2911/90 of 9 October 1990 laying down detailed rules of application for aid for the production of certain varieties of grapes for drying (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2475/94 (4);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,
1. For the 1995/96 marketing year, the per hectare aid for the cultivation of sultanas, currants and muscatels intended for processing pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 shall be ECU 2 785 per hectare of specialized area harvested.
For each variety the amount of aid shall be adjusted by the coefficient listed in the Annex.
2. For the application of Article 6 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 areas having a yield per hectare less than:
- 1 300 kilograms of dried grapes for sultanas,
- 2 500 kilograms of dried grapes for other sultanas affected by phylloxera or replanted within the last five years,
- 1 500 kilograms of dried grapes for currants,
- 400 kilograms of dried grapes for muscatels,
shall not be considered as specialized areas. The aid shall not be paid for the cultivation of the abovementioned products on these areas.
3. Member States shall take all necessary measures for checking this minimum yield.
Pursuant to Article 6 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86, the per hectare aid to be granted to producers who replant their vineyards in order to combat phylloxera and who do not receive the aid provided for under the operational programme to combat that disease shall be ECU 3 917 per hectare.
The Member States concerned shall take the administrative provisions needed for the granting of this aid.
(2) shall not apply in such cases.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 September 1995.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 |

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 3223/94 of 21 December 1994 on detailed rules for the application of the import arrangements for fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular Article 4(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 3223/94 lays down, pursuant to the outcome of the Uruguay Round multilateral trade negotiations, the criteria whereby the Commission fixes the standard values for imports from third countries, in respect of the products and periods stipulated in the Annex thereto.
(2) In compliance with the above criteria, the standard import values must be fixed at the levels set out in the Annex to this Regulation,
The standard import values referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 3223/94 shall be fixed as indicated in the Annex hereto.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing a single Council and a single Commission of the European Communities,
Having regard to the Staff Regulations of officials of the European Communities and the conditions of employment of other servants of the Communities laid down by Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259/68 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom, ECSC) No 2963/95 (2), and in particular the second paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X,
Whereas, pursuant to the first paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X to the Staff Regulations, Council Regulation (EC, Euratom, ECSC) No 579/96 (3) laid down the weightings to be applied from 1 July 1995 to the remuneration of officials serving in third countries, payable in the currency of their country of employment;
Whereas the Commission has made a number of adjustments to these weightings (4) in recent months, pursuant to the second paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X to the Staff Regulations;
Whereas some of these weightings should be adjusted with effect from 1 August, 1 September, 1 October, 1 November and 1 December 1995 given that the statistics available to the Commission show that in certain third countries the variation in the costs of living measured on the basis of the weighting and the corresponding exchange rate has exceeded 5 % since weightings were last laid down or adjusted,

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 223/93 of 1 February 1993 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products originating in Israel (1993)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Articles 1 and 2 of the Fourth Additional Protocol to the Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the State of Israel (1) provide for the opening of Community tariff quotas for the import into the Community of:
- 17 000 tonnes of new potatoes, falling with CN code ex 0701 90 51 (1 January to 31 March),
- 11 200 tonnes of onions, fresh or chilled, falling with CN codes 0703 10 11, 0703 10 19 and ex 0709 90 90 (15 February to 15 May),
- 3 100 tonnes of carrots, falling with CN code ex 0706 10 00 (1 January to 31 March),
- 10 800 tonnes of celery sticks, falling with CN code ex 0709 40 00 (1 January to 30 April),
- 7 400 tonnes of sweet peppers and peppers, falling with CN code 0709 60 10,
- 6 400 tonnes of lemons, falling with CN code 0805 30 10,
- 7 800 tonnes of watermelons, falling with CN code 0807 10 10 (1 April to 15 June),
- 2 200 tonnes of fresh strawberries, falling with CN code 0810 10 90 (1 January to 31 March),
- 5 900 tonnes of oranges, finely ground, falling with CN code ex 0812 90 20,
- 2 800 tonnes of peeled tomatoes, falling with CN code ex 2002 10 10,
- 150 tonnes of apricot pulp, falling with CN code 2008 50 91,
- 82 700 tonnes of orange juice, falling with CN codes 2009 11 11, 2009 11 19, 2009 11 91, 2009 11 99, 2009 19 11, 2009 19 19, 2009 19 91 and 2009 19 99, of which not more than 20 000 tonnes may be imported in packing of a capacity of two litres or less,
- 8 500 tonnes of tomato juice, falling with CN codes 2009 50 10 and 2009 50 90,
originating in Israel;
Whereas, however, the volumes of the tariff quotas must be increased by 3 or 5 % each year, as from 1 January 1992 and whereas the customs duties applicable in the Community, as constituted on 31 December 1985, are being eliminated in two equal steps on 1 January 1992 and 1 January 1993, by application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1764/92 of 29 June 1992 amending the arrangements for the import into the Community of certain agricultural products originating in Algeria, Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Malta, Morocco, Syria and Tunisa (2);
Whereas, within the limits of these tariff quotas, the Portuguese Republic shall apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4162/87 of 21 December 1987 laying down arrangements for Spain's and Portugal's trade with Israel (3); whereas the Community tariff quotas in question should therefore be opened for 1993;
Whereas it is necessary, in particular, to ensure for all Community importers equal and uninterrupted access to the said quotas and to ensure the uninterrupted application of the rates laid down for the quotas to all imports of the products concerned into all Member States until the quotas have been used up;
Whereas, the decision for the opening of tariff quotas should be taken by the Community in the execution of its international obligations; whereas, to ensure the efficiency of a common administration of these quotas, there is no reasonable obstacle to authorizing the Member States to draw from the quota-volumes the necessary quantities corresponding to actual imports; 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 up 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 these quotas may be carried out by any of its members,
The customs duties applicable to imports into the Community of the products listed below originating in Israel shall be suspended during the periods, at the levels and within the limits of the Community tariff quotas shown below:

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine (1), and in particular Article 14(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The rules for the restructuring and conversion of vineyards are laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1227/2000 of 31 May 2000 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine, as regards production potential (2).

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 89(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 (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 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3). That list includes 4,5-Dichloro-2-octyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one.
(2) 4,5-Dichloro-2-octyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 21, antifouling products, as defined in Annex V to that Directive, which corresponds to product-type 21 as defined in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
(3) Norway was designated as Rapporteur and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 21 December 2010 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 in an assessment report reviewed within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 13 March 2014.
(5) According to that assessment report, biocidal products used for product-type 21 and containing 4,5-Dichloro-2-octyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC, provided that certain specifications and conditions relating to its use are satisfied.
(6) It is therefore appropriate to approve 4,5-Dichloro-2-octyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one for use in biocidal products for product-type 21 subject to compliance with such specifications and conditions.
(7) Since the evaluation did not address nanomaterials, the approval should not cover such materials pursuant to Article 4(4) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
(8) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is approved in order to permit interested parties to take the preparatory measures necessary to meet the new requirements laid down.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,
4,5-Dichloro-2-octyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one shall be approved as an active substance for use in biocidal products for product-type 21, subject to the specifications and conditions set out in the Annex.

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1997/96 of 14 October 1996 amending Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 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 the market in beef and veal has been seriously disturbed, mainly as a result of consumer fears concerning bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE); whereas this situation has led to a sudden, continuing deterioration on the market, entailing a sharp fall in consumption, a collapse in prices paid to producers and public intervention buying-in; whereas forecasts show that, despite the battery of measures adopted by the Community in this area, consumption is unlikely to return to previous levels in the near future; whereas measures should therefore be taken to restore balance on the market while safeguarding the operational practicability of the support arrangements for the beef industry;
Whereas there is likely to be an overrun in the ceiling fixed in Article 6 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 (2) for 1996 as a result of the quantities which had have to be bought in since the onset of the BSE crisis; whereas, in order to prevent the application of the ceiling from triggering the 'safety-net` arrangements provided for in Article 6 (4) of that Regulation, the ceiling should be raised to a level corresponding to the market constraints pending the adoption of more wide-ranging measures;
Whereas this Regulation applies solely to those aspects of the Commission proposal requiring an urgent decision, notably an increase in the maximum quantity needed to be bought in by intervention agencies until mid-November 1996; whereas the Council will act later on the proposal's other features, including the possibility of other increases in the maximum quantity in question;
Whereas the temporary buying-in of light animals can also help to restore sound conditions on the market for beef and veal; whereas, to that end, special intervention arrangements should be introduced until the last tender of 1996 as provided in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2456/93 (3),
Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 is hereby amended as follows:
1. the second subparagraph of Article 6 (1) shall be replaced by the following:
'Such buying-in may not cover more than the following quantities, per year and for the Community as a whole:
- 460 000 tonnes for 1996,
- 350 000 tonnes as from 1997.`
2. Article 6a shall be replaced by the following:
'Article 6b
1. Notwithstanding Article 5 (2), where the market situation so requires, the purchasing by the intervention agencies, in one or more Member States or in a region of a Member State, of certain kinds of fresh or chilled meat of lean male bovine animals originating in the Community may be decided by the tender procedure until the last tender of 1996 as provided in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2456/93.
2. The quantities of meat bought in pursuant to paragraph 1 shall be taken into account for the purposes of applying the ceilings on buying-in provided for in Article 6 (1).
3. The Commission shall adopt detailed rules for the application of this Article in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 27.`

amending and rectifying Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amounts of such refunds
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 of 6 December 1993 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2580/2000(2), and in particular Article 8(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amounts of such refund(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1563/2001(4), should be amended to provide that the detailed rules as laid down by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2298/2001 of 26 November 2001 laying down detailed rules for the export of products supplied as food aid(5), are applicable to applications for refund certificates and refund certificates issued for the export of products supplied as food aid.
(2) The deadline for lodging the specific application, where the export declaration is not the specific application, as provided for in Article 7(4), second subparagraph of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, is giving rise to difficulties in some Member States. It is appropriate that these difficulties be addressed and that the resolution be applied to files which are still open at the time of entry into force of this Regulation.
(3) Annex B provides for the payment of sugar refunds in respect of CN codes 2101 30 11 and 2101 30 91. These codes are not listed in Annex V to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(6). Therefore, Annex B requires rectification.
(4) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 should therefore be amended and rectified.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee on Horizontal Questions concerning Trade in Processed Agricultural Products not listed in Annex I to the Treaty,
Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 is amended as follows:
1. Article 6(1), second subparagraph, is replaced by the following: "The previous subparagraph shall not apply to the supplies referred to in the third indent of Article 4(1) or Articles 36, 40, 44, 45 and Article 46(1) of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999, or to the exports referred to in Article 14."
2. Article 7(4), second subparagraph, is replaced by the following: "The primary requirement shall be considered to have been fulfilled if the exporter has transmitted the specific application(s) relating to goods exported during the period of validity of the refund certificate in accordance with the conditions laid down in section VI of Annex F. Where the specific application is not the export declaration, it must be lodged within three months of the date of expiry of the refund certificate bearing the number that has been entered on the specific application, except in case of force majeure."
3. Article 10 is replaced by the following: "Article 10
Regulation (EC) No 2298/2001 shall apply to applications for refund certificates and refund certificates issued for export of goods, which are part of an international food aid operation within the meaning of Article 10(4) of the Agreement."
4. Annex F is amended as follows:
In section I, paragraph 2, the last sentence is deleted.
Annex B to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 is rectified as follows:
1. The entry in respect of CN code 2101 30 11 is deleted.
2. The entry in respect of CN code 2101 30 91 is deleted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Whereas, pursuant to Article 1 of that Regulation, customs duties on certain products originating in each of the countries or territories listed in Annex III are totally suspended, and the products as such are, as a general rule, subject to statistical surveillance every three months on the reference base referred to in Article 8;
Whereas, as provided for in Article 8, where the increase of preferential imports of these products, originating in one or more beneficiary countries, threatens to cause economic difficulties in a region of the Community, the levying of customs duties may be reintroduced, once the Commission has had an appropriate exchange of information with the Member States; whereas for this purpose the reference base to be considered is equal, as a general rule, to 6,3 % of the total importations into the Community, originating from third countries in 1988;

| COMMISSION DECISION of 17 December 1990 ruling on the granting of aid by Belgium to the coal industry during 1991 (Only the French and Dutch texts are authentic) (91/405/ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community,
Having regard to Commission Decision No 2064/86/ECSC of 30 June 1986 establishing Community rules for State aid to the coal industry (1),
Whereas:
I
In its letter of 2 October 1990 the Belgian Government informed the Commission, pursuant to Article 9 (2) of Decision No 2064/86/ECSC, of the financial measures it intends to take to support the coal industry in 1991.
Pursuant to the abovementioned Decision, the Commission must give a ruling on the following financial aid schemes for 1991 submitted to it for approval:
- aid totalling Bfr 2 257 570 000 to cover operating losses,
- aid totalling Bfr 292 700 000 to finance social benefit schemes in the coal industry, corresponding to the difference between actual and normal social charges,
- aid totalling Bfr 37 700 000 to cover expenses relating to the system of supplementary holiday for underground workers.
According to the information supplied by the Belgian Government, the measures notified are intended to help implement the restructuring plan for the firm Kempense Steenkolenmijnen, the closure of the last working pit being scheduled for no later than 1992.
The measures which the Belgian Government intends to take to support the coal industry comply with the provisions of Article 1 (1) of Decision 2064/86/ECSC. The Commission must therefore give a ruling, pursuant to Article 10 of the Decision, as to whether they comply with the objectives and criteria set out in that Decision and whether they are compatible with the proper functioning of the common market.
II
Since the entry into force in 1987 of a restructuring plan made necessary by the lack of economic viability of coal production in the long term, extraction capacities have been gradually reduced from 4,4 million tonnes in 1987 to 0,8 million tonnes in 1991.
The amount of aid notified for 1991 represents only 20 % of the aid granted in 1986.
The decreasing levels of aid which the Belgian Government intends to grant, its temporary nature and the implementation of a multiannual restructuring plan are in accordance with the conditions of application of Decision No 2064/86/ECSC.
The aid to cover operating losses will facilitate continuation of the last phase of the restructuring programme for the Campine coalfield, as decided by Ministerial Decree in January 1987. The planned aid will cover no more than 83 %, for each tonne produced, of the difference between foreseeable costs and returns, and therefore complies with the provisions of Article 3 (1) of the Decision.
This aid contributes to solving the social and regional problems related to the decline in coal production, in conformity with the third indent of Article 2 (1) of the Decision.
The notification submitted to the Commission regarding the financing of social benefits in the coal industry reveals that the aid which the Belgian Government proposes to grant brings the ratio between the burden per mineworker in employment and the benefits per person in receipt of benefit below the corresponding ratio in other industries. This difference should amount to Bfr 292 700 000 in 1991.
The exceeding of the limits specified in Article 7 of Decision No 2064/86/ECSC must therefore be considered as indirect aid to current production. The reduction in production costs this entails, which is about 6 %, does not constitute a significant competitive advantage for the Belgian coal industry compared with other Community coal producers. In view of the abnormal burdens that the Belgian industry has to bear owing to the gradual decline in production.
As this measure is linked to the restructuring programme, it is helping to solve the social and regional problems related to developments in the coal industry, in conformity with the third indent of Article 2 (1) of the Decision.
The aid to cover expenditure relating to the system of supplementary holiday for underground workers constitutes indirect aid to current production. It meets the objectives and conditions defined in Article 2 of the Decision in view of its modest scale i.e. less than 1 % of the cost price per tonne produced, its temporary nature and the fact that it forms part of the restructuring plan.
III
The aid covered by this Decision is therefore compatible with the proper functioning of the common market.
This Decision is without prejudice to the compatibility with the Treaties of the rules governing sales of Belgian coal to electricity producers,
The Belgian Government is hereby authorized to grant aid totalling Bfr 2 587 970 000 to the Belgian coal industry for the 1991 calendar year. The total amount shall be made up of the following aid:
1. aid to cover operating losses not exceeding Bfr 2 257 570 000;
2. aid to finance social benefit schemes in the coal industry not exceeding Bfr 292 700 000;
3. aid to cover expenses relating to the system of supplementary holiday for underground workers, not exceeding Bfr 37 700 000.
The Belgian Government shall inform the Commission not later than 30 June 1992 of the actual amounts of aid paid in 1991.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Belgium. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2317/95 of 25 September 1995 determining the third countries whose nationals must be in possession of visas when crossing the external borders of the Member States
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas Article 100c of the Treaty requires the Council to determine the third countries whose nationals must be in possession of a visa when crossing the external borders of the Member States;
Whereas the drawing up of the common list annexed to this Regulation represents an important step towards the harmonization of visa policy; whereas the second paragraph of Article 7a of the Treaty stipulates in particular that the internal market shall comprise an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of persons is ensured in accordance with the Treaty; whereas other aspects of the harmonization of visa policy, including the conditions for the issue of visas, are matters to be determined under Title VI of the Treaty on European Union;
Whereas risks relating to security and illegal immigration should be given priority consideration when the said common list annexed hereto is drawn up; whereras, in addition, Member States' international relations with third countries also play a role;
Whereas the principle that a Member State may not require a visa from a person wishing to cross its external borders if that person holds a visa issued by another Member State which meets the harmonized conditions governing the issue of visas and is valid throughout the Community or if that person holds an appropriate permit issued by a Member State is a matter that should be determined under Title VI of the Treaty on European Union;
Whereas this Regulation shall not prevent a Member State from deciding under what conditions nationals of third countries lawfully resident within its territory may re-enter it after having left the territory of the Member States of the Union during the period of validity of their permits;
Whereas, in special cases justifying an exemption where visa requirements would in principle exist, Member States may exempt certain categories of person in keeping with international law or custom;
Whereas since national rules differ on stateless persons, recognized refugees and persons who produce passports or travel documents issued by a territorial entity or authority which is not recognized as a State by all Member States, Member States may decide on visa requirements for that group of persons, where that territorial entity or authority is not on the said common list;
Whereas when adding new entities to the list it is necessary to take account of diplomatic implications and guidelines adopted on the matter by the European Union; whereas, at all events the inclusion of a third country on the common list is entirely without prejudice to its international status;
Whereas the determination of third countries whose nationals must be in possession of visas when crossing the external borders of the Member States should be achieved gradually; whereas Member States will constantly endeavour to harmonize their visa policies with regard to third countries not on the common list; whereas the present provisions must not prejudice the achievement of free movement for persons as provided for in Article 7a of the Treaty; whereas the Commission should draw up a progress report on harmonization after five years;
Whereas, with a view to ensuring that the system is administered openly and that the persons concerned are informed, Member States must communicate to the other Member States and to the Commission the measures which they take pursuant to this Regulation; whereas for the same reasons that information must also be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities;
Whereas the information provided for in Articles 2 (4) and 4 (2) must be published before the other provisions of this Regulation come into force; whereas Articles 2 (4) and 4 (2) must therefore become applicable one month before the other provisions of the Regulation,
1. Nationals of third countries on the common list in the Annex shall be required to be in possession of visas when crossing the external borders of the Member States.
2. Nationals of countries formerly part of countries on the common list shall be subject to the requirements of paragraph 1 unless and until the Council decides otherwise under the procedure laid down in Article 100c of the Treaty.
1. The Member States shall determine the visa requirements for nationals of third countries not on the common list.
2. The Member States shall determine the visa requirements for stateless persons and recognized refugees.
3. The Member States shall determine the visa requirements for persons who produce passports or travel documents issued by a territorial entity or authority which is not recognized as a State by all Member States if that entity or territorial authority is not on the common list.
4. Within ten working days of the entry into force of this paragraph, Member States shall communicate to the other Member States and the Commission the measures they have taken pursuant to paragraphs 1, 2 and 3. Any further measures taken pursuant to paragraph 1 shall be similarly communicated within five working days.
The Commission shall publish the measures communicated pursuant to this paragraph and updates thereof in the Official Journal of the European Communities for information.
Five years after the entry into force of this Regulation the Commission shall draw up a progress report of the harmonization of Member States' visa policies with regard to third countries not on the common list and, if necessary, submit to the Council proposals for further measures required to achieve the objective of harmonization laid down in Article 100c.
1. A Member State may exempt nationals of third countries subject to visa requirements under Article 1 (1) and (2) from those requirements. This shall apply in particular to civilian air and sea crew, flight crew and attendants on emergency or rescue flights and other helpers in the event of disaster or accident and holders of diplomatic passports, official duty passports and other official passports.
2. Article 2 (4) shall apply mutatis mutandis.
For the purposes of this Regulation, 'visa` shall mean an authorization given or a decision taken by a Member State which is required for entry into its territory with a view to:
- an intended stay in that Member State or in several Member States of no more than three months in all,
- transit through the territory of that Member State or several Member States, except for transit through the international zones of airports and transfers between airports in a Member State.
This Regulation shall be without prejudice to any further harmonization between individual Member States, going beyond the common list, determining the third countries whose nationals must be in possession of a visa when crossing their external borders.
This Regulation shall enter into force six months after its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities except for Articles 2 (4) and 4 (2) which shall enter into force on the day following publication.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), and in particular Article 7(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, production refunds may be granted on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) and (f) of that Regulation, on syrups listed in Article 1(1)(d) thereof and on chemically pure fructose covered by CN code 1702 50 00 as an intermediate product, that are in one of the situations referred to in Article 23(2) of the Treaty and are used in the manufacture of certain products of the chemical industry.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards granting the production refund on certain sugar products used in the chemical industry(2) lays down the rules for determining the production refunds and specifies the chemical products the basic products used in the manufacture of which attract a production refund. Articles 5, 6 and 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provide that the production refund applying to raw sugar, sucrose syrups and unprocessed isoglucose is to be derived from the refund fixed for white sugar in accordance with a method of calculation specific to each basic product.
(3) Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provides that the production refund on white sugar is to be fixed at monthly intervals commencing on the first day of each month. It may be adjusted in the intervening period where there is a significant change in the prices for sugar on the Community and/or world markets. The application of those provisions results in the production refund fixed in Article 1 of this Regulation for the period shown.
(4) As a result of the amendment to the definition of white sugar and raw sugar in Article 1(2)(a) and (b) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, flavoured or coloured sugars or sugars containing any other added substances are no longer deemed to meet those definitions and should thus be regarded as "other sugar". However, in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001, they attract the production refund as basic products. A method should accordingly be laid down for calculating the production refund on these products by reference to their sucrose content.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The production refund on white sugar referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 shall be equal to 45,414 EUR/100 kg net.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 April 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 58/2003 of 19 December 2002 laying down the statute for executive agencies to be entrusted with certain tasks in the management of Community programmes (1), and in particular Article (6)(1) thereof,

(3) In the light of the expertise acquired by the Agency, it should be entrusted with the management of certain measures similar to the food safety training measures which it already manages, in particular, extending the scope of the Agency activities to training measures outside the EU Member States. Consequently, the Agency should be entrusted with managing the food safety training measures covered by Commission Decision C(2012) 1548 adopting the 2012 work programme serving as a financial decision for the funding of projects in the area of external trade relations, including access to the markets of non-European Union countries and initiatives in the field of trade-related assistance, and by Article 22(1) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation (9).

imposing special conditions governing the import of sunflower oil originating in or consigned from Ukraine due to contamination risks by mineral oil and repealing Decision 2008/433/EC
(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 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 (1), and in particular Article 53(1)(b)(ii) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2008/433/EC of 10 June 2008 imposing special conditions governing the import of sunflower oil originating in or consigned from Ukraine due to contamination risks by mineral oil (2) has been adopted to protect public health following the findings in April 2008 of high levels of mineral paraffin in sunflower oil from Ukraine.
(2) The Ukrainian authorities have informed the Commission services of the establishment of an appropriate control system designed to ensure that all consignments of sunflower oil to be exported to the Community are certified as not containing levels of mineral oil making the sunflower oil unfit for human consumption.
(3) The details of this control and certification system have been assessed by the Commission services and the Member States and discussed during the meeting of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health held on 20 June 2008. It was concluded that this control and certification system could be accepted.
(4) The Food and Veterinary Office of the European Commission carried out an inspection mission in Ukraine from 16 to 24 September 2008 in order to assess the control systems in place to prevent the contamination with mineral oil of sunflower oil intended for export to the Community (3). The inspection team concluded that the Ukrainian authorities have implemented the new official control system to prevent the presence of mineral oil in sunflower oil destined for the Community and that the control system provided sufficient guarantees for that purpose. However, these findings showed that the investigation carried out by the Ukrainian authorities had not revealed the source of the contamination due to the lack of official sampling and subsequent follow-up.
(5) Given the level of risk and in accordance with Article 1(4) of Decision 2008/433/EC, Member States have controlled all consignments of sunflower oil originating from Ukraine in order to verify that these consignments do not contain an unacceptable level of mineral oil and that the information in the required certificate is accurate. The results of those controls demonstrate the accuracy and reliability of the control and certification system put in place by the Ukrainian authorities. All analytical results have confirmed the correctness of mineral oil levels declared in the certificate.
(6) It is appropriate to provide that the sampling of consignments of sunflower oil for the presence of mineral oil has to be performed in accordance with the provisions on sampling laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 333/2007 of 28 March 2007 laying down the methods of sampling and analysis for the official control of the levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, inorganic tin, 3-MCPD and benzo(a)pyrene in foodstuffs (4) and the international standard ISO 5555:2003 on sampling of animal and vegetable fats and oils.
(7) Consequently, it is appropriate to review the current measures. Given that the amendments are substantial, the provisions have a direct application and are binding in their entirety, Decision 2008/433/EC should be replaced by this Regulation, which could be reviewed at a later stage on the basis of the results of the controls carried out by the Member States.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Scope
This Regulation shall apply to crude and refined sunflower seed oil, falling within CN code 1512 11 91 or TARIC Code 1512199010 (hereafter referred to as sunflower oil), originating in or consigned from Ukraine.
Definitions
For the purpose of this Regulation, ‘mineral paraffin’ means saturated hydrocarbons in the range C10-C56 from external sources minus the alkanes C27, C29 and C31 which are considered to be of endogenous origin for sunflower oil.
Certification and prior notification
1. Sunflower oil imported into the Community shall not contain more than 50 mg/kg mineral paraffin.
2. Each consignment of sunflower oil presented for import shall be accompanied by a certificate as laid down in Annex, certifying that the product does not contain more than 50 mg/kg mineral paraffin and by an analytical report, issued by a laboratory accredited according to EN ISO/IEC 17025 for the analysis of mineral oil in sunflower oil, indicating the results of sampling and analysis for the presence of mineral oil, the measurement uncertainty of the analytical result, as well as the limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantification (LOQ) of the analytical method.
3. The certificate accompanied by the analytical report shall be signed by an authorised representative of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine.
4. Each consignment of sunflower oil shall be identified by means of a code which shall be indicated on the health certificate, on the analytical report containing the results of sampling and analysis, and on the commercial documents accompanying the consignment.
5. The analysis referred to in paragraph 2 must be performed on a sample, taken in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 333/2007 and the international standard ISO 5555:2003.
6. Feed and food business operators or their representatives shall give prior notification to the first point of entry of the estimated date and time of physical arrival of the consignment at least one working day prior to the physical arrival of the consignment.
Official control
1. The competent authorities of a Member State shall check that each consignment of sunflower oil presented for import is accompanied by a certificate and an analytical report as provided for in Article 3(2).
Member States shall sample and analyse for the presence of mineral paraffin certain, selected on a random basis, consignments of sunflower oil presented for import into the Community, in order to ensure that the consignment does not contain more than 50 mg/kg mineral paraffin.
Member States shall inform the Commission through the rapid alert system for food and feed of all consignments which are found to contain mineral paraffin above 50 mg/kg taking into account the measurement uncertainty.
2. All official controls before the acceptance for release for free circulation into the Community shall be performed within 15 working days from the moment the consignment is offered for import and physically available for sampling.
Splitting of a consignment
Consignments shall not be split until the official controls by the competent authority as provided for in Article 4 have been completed.
In the case of subsequent splitting of the consignment, a copy of the official documents provided for in Article 3(2), to be authenticated by the competent authority of the Member State on whose territory the splitting has taken place, shall accompany each part of the consignment until it is released for free circulation.
Non-compliance measures
Measures in respect of non-compliant consignments of sunflower oil shall be taken in accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on official control performed to ensure the verification of compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules (5).
Costs
All costs resulting from the official controls including sampling, analysis, storage and any measures taken following non-compliance, shall be borne by the feed and food business operator.
Repeal
Decision 2008/433/EC is hereby repealed.
References to the repealed Decision shall be construed as references to this Regulation.
Transitional measures
By way of derogation from Article 3(2), Member States shall authorise the imports of consignments of sunflower oil originating in or consigned from Ukraine which left Ukraine prior to 1 January 2010, accompanied by the certificate provided for in Article 1 of Decision 2008/433/EC.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 213 thereof,
Having regard to the draft Regulation submitted by the Commission,
Whereas, in order to carry out the tasks which are assigned to it by the Treaty, in particular Articles 2, 92, 117, 118, 122 and 123 thereof, the Commission must be acquainted with the situation and developments in employment and unemployment;
Whereas the statistical information available in each of the Member States does not provide a suitable basis for comparison, particularly because of the differences between the laws, rules and administrative practices of the Member States on which these statistics are based;
Whereas the best method of ascertaining the level and the structure of employment and unemployment consists in carrying out harmonized and synchronized Community labour force sample surveys, as already carried out every year from 1968 to 1971 and every two years from 1973 to 1983;
Whereas in a period of continuing and increasing difficulties in the labour market and of structural changes in employment, up-to-date information must be made available;
Whereas only the repetition in 1984 of the survey carried out in 1983 will enable this information to be obtained;
Whereas a special system of biennial statistics set up in the Netherlands, because of the impossibility of carrying out general population censuses, has meant that the Kingdom of the Netherlands is not in a position to participate in this survey; whereas, therefore, that country should, exceptionally, be dispensed from taking part,
In the spring of 1984, the Commission shall undertake a labour force sample survey based on a sample of households in each of the Member States, with the exception of the Netherlands.
The survey shall be carried out in each of the Member States concerned in a sample of households the residence of which is in the territory of these States at the time of the survey. The information shall be collected for each member of the households included in the sample.
The sample shall comprise between 60 000 and 100 000 households in Germany, France, Italy and the United Kingdom, between 30 000 and 50 000 households in Greece and Ireland, between 15 000 and 30 000 households in Belgium and Denmark and approximately 10 000 households in Luxembourg.
The survey shall cover:
(a) the individual characteristics (sex, age, nationality, marital status, relationship to head of household) of all members of the households questioned;
(b) the occupational activity of these persons (status, economic activity, number of hours usually and actually worked, job characteristics such as full-time or part-time, permanent or temporary) at the time of the survey;
(c) attempts to find work, taking into account the type of employment sought, the conditions, methods and length of time spent seeking work and the availability for work;
(d) information on education or training received;
(e) work experience of persons of working age without work.
The information shall be gathered by the statistical services of the Member States concerned on the basis of a list of questions drawn up by the Commission in cooperation with the competent services of the Member States.
The Commission shall determine, in collaboration with the statistical services of the Member States concerned, the technical details of the survey including the starting and closing dates of the survey and the deadlines for transmission of the results. The services shall ensure the representative nature of the sample according to the practice in the Member States concerned and shall take the necessary steps to ensure that a proportion of at least 25 % of addresses contacted in the survey may form part of the sample for a subsequent survey.
The statistical services of the Member States concerned shall check the answers collected. They shall forward to the Commission the results of the survey for each person questioned, without any indication of names and addresses.
The individual items of information provided in the context of the survey may be used for statistical purposes only. They may not be used for fiscal or other purposes and may not be communicated to third parties.
The Member States concerned shall endeavour to ensure that the information requested is furnished truthfully and in its entirety within the period specified. The Member States concerned and the Commission shall take appropriate measures against any infringement of the obligation under the first paragraph to preserve the confidentiality of the information gathered.
The Member States concerned shall receive a contribution towards the conduct of the survey. The amount of the contribution shall be set off against the appropriations provided for this purpose in the budget of the European Communities.

Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank and in particular Article 28.3 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Decision ECB/1998/2 of 9 June 1998 laying down the measures necessary for the paying-up of the capital of the European Central Bank(1) determined how and to what extent the national central banks (NCBs) of the Member States intending to adopt the euro on 1 January 1999 should pay up the European Central Bank's (ECB's) capital.
(2) Article 2 of Decision ECB/2000/14 of 16 November 2000 providing for the paying-up of capital and the contribution to the reserves and provisions of the ECB by the Bank of Greece, and for the initial transfer of foreign-reserve assets to the ECB by the Bank of Greece and related matters(2), in conjunction with Decision ECB/1998/14 of 1 December 1998 laying down the measures necessary for the paying-up of the capital of the European Central Bank by the non-participating national central banks(3), determined how and to what extent the Bank of Greece should pay up the ECB's capital on 1 January 2001 in view of Greece's adoption of the euro.
(3) Decision ECB/2003/17 of 18 December 2003 on the national central banks' percentage shares in the key for subscription to the European Central Bank's capital(4) adjusts the weightings assigned to the NCBs in the key for subscription to the ECB's capital (hereinafter the capital key weightings and the capital key respectively) with effect from 1 January 2004.
(4) The adjusted capital key requires the adoption of a new ECB decision repealing Decision ECB/1998/2 and Article 2 of Decision ECB/2000/14 with effect from 1 January 2004 and determining how and to what extent the NCBs of the Member States that have adopted the euro (hereinafter the participating NCBs) should pay up the ECB's capital on 1 January 2004,
Extent and form of paid-up capital
Each participating NCB shall pay up its subscription to the ECB's capital in full on 1 January 2004. Taking into account the capital key weightings described in Article 2 of Decision ECB/2003/17, each participating NCB shall therefore pay up on 1 January 2004 the amount shown next to its name in the following table:
>TABLE>
Adjustment of paid-up capital
Each participating NCB has already paid up its share of the ECB's subscribed capital under Decision ECB/1998/2 and, for the Bank of Greece, under Article 2 of Decision ECB/2000/14 and Decision ECB/1998/14. In view of this fact, either a participating NCB shall transfer an additional amount to the ECB, or the ECB shall transfer an amount back to a participating NCB, as appropriate, in order to arrive at the amounts set out in the table in Article 1. These transfers shall be made according to the terms and conditions set out in Decision ECB/2003/20 of 18 December 2003 laying down the terms and conditions for transfers of the European Central Bank's capital shares between the national central banks and adjustment of the paid-up capital(5).

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 96/23/EC of 29 April 1996 on measures to monitor certain substances and residues thereof in live animals and animal products and repealing Directives 85/358/EEC and 86/469/EEC and Decisions 89/187/EEC and 91/664/EEC (1), and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 29(1) and Article 29(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 96/23/EC lays down measures to monitor the substances and groups of residues listed in Annex I thereto. That Directive requires that third countries from which Member States are authorised to import animals and animal products covered by that Directive submit a residue monitoring plan providing required guarantees. That plan should at least include the groups of residues and substances listed in that Annex I.
(2) Commission Decision 2011/163/EU (2) approves the plans provided for in Article 29 of Directive 96/23/EC (‘the plans’) submitted by certain third countries listed in the Annex thereto for the animals and animal products indicated in that list.
(3) In the light of the recent plans submitted by certain third countries and additional information obtained by the Commission, it is necessary to update the list of third countries from which Member States are authorised to import certain animals and animal products, as provided for in Directive 96/23/EC and currently listed in the Annex to Decision 2011/163/EU (‘the list’).
(4) Armenia has submitted a plan for honey to the Commission. That plan provides sufficient guarantees and should be approved. Therefore, an entry for Armenia for honey should be included in the list.
(5) In accordance with European Council Decision 2012/419/EU of 11 July 2012 amending the status of Mayotte with regard to the European Union (3), Mayotte shall cease to be an overseas country or territory and become an outermost region of the Union according to Article 349 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union from 1 January 2014. The entry for Mayotte should be deleted at this date.
(6) San Marino is currently included in the list for bovines and honey. That third country has informed the Commission that it is interested to export porcine meat to the Union. San Marino provided the guarantees requested for porcine in the list with the footnote indicating that third countries using only raw material either from Member States or from other third countries approved for imports of such raw material to the Union. An entry for San Marino for porcines with the appropriate footnote reference should therefore be included in the list.
(7) Decision 2011/163/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The Annex to Decision 2011/163/EU is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Decision.

| DECISION No 2493/95/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 23 October 1995 establishing 1996 as the 'European year of lifelong learning`
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 126 and 127 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions (3),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 189b of the Treaty (4),
Whereas the European Council of Brussels (10 and 11 December 1993) took note of the proposals of the Commission in the White Paper on Growth, competitiveness and employment; whereas education and training can make a contribution in respect of economic and social change and the fight against unemployment; whereas the establishment of a 'European year of education and training` proposed in the White Paper could be a signal for clarification of the essential requirements and the long-term objectives in the fields of education and training in the Community;
Whereas 1996 will be the year in which the Leonardo Da Vinci action programme adopted by Decision 94/819/EC (5) and the Socrates action programme, adopted by Decision No 819/95/EC (6), which constitute the second generation of Community education and training programmes, come into their own;
Whereas the Structural Funds and in particular the European Social Fund, and the Community initiatives which drive therefrom, particularly the Adapt (7) and Employment (8) initiative, will enhace quality education and training;
Whereas the continuing adaptation of education and training systems to these new requirements is a strategically important task for Europe, since the competitiveness of the European economy and the stability of society in Europe are built up through knowledge, know-how and common basic views; whereas the attractiveness and prestige of vocational training are heavily dependent on the attachment of equal value to the channels of general education and vocational training as well as the social recognition of qualified professions;
Whereas the role of lifelong learning is becoming fundamental in order to secure personal fulfilment, imparting to the individuals concerned such values as solidarity and tolerance and furthering participation in democratic decision-making processes; whereas it is equally important to enhance long-term employment prospects; whereas the White Paper on Growth, competitiveness and employment stresses that education and training will undoubtedly make a contribution to the renewal of growth, the recovery of competitiveness and the restoration of a high level of employment;
Whereas, according to the aforementioned White Paper, a large number of jobs likely to be created by the year 2 000 will correspond to new careers linked with the technological revolutions in the audiovisual sector and the information society, requiring continuing training and adjustment in initial training concepts;
Whereas it should be borne in mind that certain types of education and training resulting for example from centres for open learning, adult education establishments and distance learning centres are gaining in importance; whereas it must be ensured in this connection that such types of education and training, which are necessary, are accessible to everyone;
Whereas the development of lifelong learning should aim in particular to make the best use of available talent, to combat social exclusion, to widen the choice of occupation for girls and women, and to contribute to the reduction of regional disparities;
Whereas, furthermore, continuing training which offers employment prospects can contribute to the solution of certain social conflicts;
Whereas there should be exchanges of experience and information on what the Member States have achieved in their own countries, on the many regional and local initiatives undertaken, on the programmes and initiatives of the European Union and on the work of the Council of Europe and other international organizations involved in education and training;
Whereas distance and self-instruction systems, global networks (especially computer networks), interactive communication between teachers and learners during the learning process and information infrastructure may have an important role to play in lifelong learning; whereas international networks are particulary suitable for language training; whereas sound basic training facilitates their integration into the lifelong learning process;
Whereas the organisation of a European year of lifelong learning is a contribution to the action plan decided on by the European Council to fight against unemployment; whereas, in view of the link with this initiative, the aims of the European year will best be attained at Community level; whereas the European year will support, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, the policy and practice of the Member States in this field;
Whereas an agreement on a modus vivendi between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission concerning the implementing measures for acts adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 189b of the Treaty was adopted on 20 December 1994;
Whereas this Decision lays down, for the entire duration of the programme, a financial framework constituting the principal point of reference, within the meaning of point 1 of the declaration by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission of 6 March 1995 (1), for the budgetary authority during the annual budgetary procedure,
1. 1996 shall be proclaimed 'European year of lifelong learning.` 2. During the European year, information, awareness-raising and promotional actions will be undertaken concerning opportunities for lifelong learning. The aim is the promotion of personal development and sense of initiative of individuals, their integration into working life and society, their participation in the democratic decision-making process and their ability to adjust to economic, technological and social change. Preparation of the actions will take place in 1995.
The following shall be the themes for the European Year:
1. the importance of a high quality general education, open to all without discrimination of any kind, including the ability to learn by oneself, as a preparation for lifelong learning;
2. the promotion of vocational training leading to qualifications for all young people, as a precondition for a smooth transition to working life and as a basis for further personal development, for re-adaptation in the job market and for achieving equality of opportunities between men and women;
3. the promotion of continuing education and training, in harmony with school education and initial vocational training and in relation to new requirements in the world of work and society, whilst ensuring the quality and transparency of such education and training;
4. motivation of individuals for lifelong learning and developing such learning for the benefit of groups of people who have hitherto hardly or not at all benefited from it but who particularly need it, such as girls and women;
5. further cooperation on education and training between institutions in these areas and the economic world, in particular small and medium enterprises;
6. the raising of awareness of the social partners of the importance of the creation of, and participation in, new opportunities for lifelong learning in the context of European competitiveness and a highly employment-intensive economic growth;
7. the raising of awareness of parents of the importance of education and training of children and young people in the perspective of lifelong learning and the role that they can play in this respect;
8. the development of the European dimension of initial and continuing education and training, the promotion of mutual understanding and mobility in Europe, as well as a European area for cooperation in education; the raising of awareness among European citizens of the activities of the European Union, particularly with regard to the academic and vocational recognition of diplomas and qualifications in accordance with the systems of the Member States and the promotion of linguistic abilities.
1. The actions referred to in Article 1 (2) shall include general or theme-based events, the preparation and dissemination of communication products, and studies and surveys. They are set out in the Annex. Priority in the selection of the actions mentionned in Section B of the Annex will go to those which offer a practical demonstration of the advantages of education and training, those highlighting education and training actions as part of a lifelong learning approach, those promoting amongst the social partners, with due respect for national laws and, where appropriate, by means of collective training, those which show the contribution made by international cooperation, and those which disseminate the results of Community interventions.
2. Optimal use could be made of other existing initiatives in the field of education and training which could contribute to fulfilling the objectives of the European year.
The Commission shall be responsible for the implementation of this Decision.
The Commission shall be assisted by an ad hoc committee of an advisory nature composed of two representatives from each Member State and chaired by the representative of the Commission.
The representative of the Commission shall submit to the committee a draft of the measures to be taken in accordance with Sections A, B and C of the Annex. The committee shall deliver its opinion on the draft within a time limit which the chairman may lay down according to the urgency of the matter, if necessary by taking a vote.
The opinion shall be recorded in the minutes; in addition, each Member State shall have the right to ask to have its position recorded in the minutes.
The Commission shall take the utmost account of the opinion delivered by the committee. It shall inform the committee of the manner in which its opinion has been taken ino account.
1. Each Member State shall designate an appropriate body or bodies, to be responsible for the selection, coordination and implementation nationally of the actions provided for in this Decision.
2. Applications for financial support for the actions provided for in accordance with Section B of the Annex shall be submitted to the Commission by the Member States concerned.
3. Decisions on actions in Sections A and B of the Annex shall be taken by the Commission in accordance with the procedure set out in Article 4. The Commission shall ensure a balanced distribution among Member States and among the different sectors of education and training.

of 19 May 2010
repealing Council Decision 79/542/EEC drawing up a list of third countries or parts of third countries, and laying down animal and public health and veterinary certification conditions, for importation into the Community of certain live animals and their fresh meat
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 43(2) and Article 168(4)(b) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
After consulting the Committee of the Regions,
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),
Whereas:
(1) Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine, ovine and caprine animals and swine, fresh meat or meat products from third countries (3) provided for a list to be drawn up of the countries or parts thereof from which Member States are to authorise the importation of certain live animals and fresh meat of certain animals.
(2) Accordingly, Council Decision 79/542/EEC of 21 December 1976 drawing up a list of third countries or parts of third countries, and laying down animal and public health and veterinary certification conditions, for importation into the Community of certain live animals and their fresh meat (4) was adopted. That Decision establishes the sanitary conditions for the importation into the Union of live animals excluding equidae, and for the importation of fresh meat of such animals, including equidae, but excluding meat preparations. Annexes I and II to that Decision also set out lists of third countries or parts thereof from which certain live animals and their fresh meat may be imported into the Union as well as models of veterinary certificates.
(3) Since the date of adoption of that Decision, a number of new animal health and public health requirements have been laid down in other Community acts, including Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (5) and Council Directive 2004/68/EC of 26 April 2004 laying down animal health rules for the importation into and transit through the Community of certain live ungulate animals (6), as well as Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (7), 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 (8), Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption (9), and Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on official controls performed to ensure the verification of compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules (10).
(4) Those Community acts constitute a new regulatory framework in this area and Directive 72/462/EEC has also been repealed by Directive 2004/68/EC.
(5) Article 20 of Directive 2004/68/EC provides that implementing rules established in accordance with decisions adopted for the import of live animals, meat and meat products pursuant to Directive 72/462/EEC, inter alia Decision 79/542/EEC, are to remain in force until replaced by measures adopted under the new regulatory framework.
(6) In addition, Article 4(3) of Directive 2004/41/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004 repealing certain Directives concerning food hygiene and health conditions for the production and placing on the market of certain products of animal origin intended for human consumption (11) provides that pending the adoption of the necessary provisions on the basis of Regulation (EC) No 852/2004, Regulation (EC) No 853/2004, Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 or Directive 2002/99/EC, the implementing rules adopted on the basis of Directive 72/462/EEC are to continue to apply.
(7) Commission Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 of 12 March 2010 laying down lists of third countries, territories or parts thereof authorised for the introduction into the European Union of certain animals and fresh meat and the veterinary certification requirements (12) contains veterinary certification requirements and other provisions which take account of the new regulatory framework and replace those laid down in Decision 79/542/EEC. As from the date of entry into force of that Regulation, Decision 79/542/EEC will therefore have lapsed and will no longer apply.
(8) For the sake of clarity and transparency of Union legislation, Decision 79/542/EEC should be explicitly repealed with effect from that date,
Decision 79/542/EEC shall be repealed with effect from 9 April 2010.
References to the repealed Decision shall be construed as references to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010.

amending Annexes II and V to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council on cosmetic products
(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 1223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 November 2009 on cosmetic products (1), and in particular Article 31(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Entry 25 of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 specifies a maximum concentration of 0,3 % in relation to the use of triclosan as a preservative in cosmetic products.
(2) The Scientific Committee on Consumer Products (SCCP), subsequently replaced by the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) pursuant to Commission Decision 2008/721/EC (2), adopted an opinion on the safety of triclosan for human health in January 2009 (3), followed by an addendum of March 2011 (4).
(3) The SCCP considered that the continued use of triclosan as a preservative at the current maximum concentration limit of 0,3 % in all cosmetic products is not safe for the consumer because of the magnitude of the aggregate exposure, and the SCCS confirmed this position. However, the SCCP considered that its use at a maximum concentration of 0,3 % in toothpastes, hand soaps, body soaps/shower gels and deodorants, face powders and blemish concealers is safe. In addition, the SCCS considered that other uses of triclosan in nail products where the intended use is to clean the fingernails and toenails before the application of artificial nail systems at a maximum concentration of 0,3 % and in mouthwashes at a maximum concentration of 0,2 % are safe for the consumer.
(4) In light of the SCCS opinions mentioned above, the Commission considers that maintaining the restriction on the use of triclosan at its current level would raise a potential risk to human health. The additional restrictions suggested by the SCCP and the SCCS should therefore be implemented in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009.
(5) Entry 12 of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 specifies a maximum concentration of 0,4 % for single ester and 0,8 % for mixtures of esters in relation to the use of parabens as preservatives in cosmetic products, under the denomination 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and its salts and esters.
(6) The SCCS adopted an opinion on parabens in December 2010 (5), followed by a clarification of October 2011 (6) in response to a unilateral decision by Denmark to ban propylparaben and butylparaben, their isoforms and their salts in cosmetic products for children under three years of age based on their potential endocrine activity, taken in accordance with Article 12 of Council Directive 76/768/EEC (7).
(7) The SCCS confirmed that methylparaben and ethylparaben are safe at the maximum authorised concentrations. In addition, the SCCS noted that limited or no information was submitted by industry for the safety evaluation of isopropylparaben, isobutylparaben, phenylparaben, benzylparaben and pentylparaben. As a result, for these compounds, the human risk cannot be evaluated. Therefore, those substances should no longer be listed in Annex V and, given that they might be used as antimicrobial agents, they should be listed in Annex II to make clear that they are prohibited in cosmetic products.
(8) The conclusions the SCCS drew in the same opinions on propylparaben and butylparaben were challenged by a study carried out by the French authorities (8), therefore a further risk assessment of those two substances was adopted by the SCCS in May 2013 (9). Measures on propylparaben and butylparaben are under preparation, as a second step in the risk management of parabens.
(9) No concerns were raised on the safety of 4-Hydroxybenzoic acid and its salts (calcium paraben, sodium paraben, potassium paraben).
(10) The relevant annexes to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(11) The application of the above-mentioned restrictions should be deferred to allow the industry to make the necessary adjustments to product formulations. In particular, undertakings should be granted six months to place on the market compliant products, and 15 months to stop making available on the market non-compliant products after the entry into force of this Regulation, in order to allow existing stocks to be exhausted.
(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Cosmetic Products,
Annexes II and V to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
From 30 October 2014 only cosmetic products which comply with this Regulation shall be placed on the Union market.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Whereas the Council has adopted Regulation (EEC) No 2088/85 of 23 July 1985 concerning the integrated Mediterranean programmes (1);
Whereas pilot actions are necessary to test the methods for implementing the integrated Mediterranean programmes in order that such programmes may be implemented as soon as possible after their adoption;
Whereas the pilot actions constitute a coherent set of operations that are compatible with each other and with the regional development programmes; whereas they have intrinsic merits in the context of the Community's policies;
Whereas each pilot action is on a smaller scale than the operational plan of campaign for the integrated Mediterranean programmes;
Whereas the Italian Republic has proposed to the Commission that a pilot action be instituted in the region of Basilicata, Italy, in preparation for the integrated Mediterranean programmes;
Whereas, on 27 August 1985, the Commission decided in principle on a pilot action in reparation for the integrated Mediterranean programmes, which was to be spelt out in detail subsequently and was on that occasion already granted assistance for a priority operation;
Whereas these details can now be established;
Whereas the pilot action must be coordinated with any integrated Mediterranean programme adopted for the same region or area;
Whereas the pilot action in question concerns an area which exhibits development problems typical of those which the integrated Mediterranean programmes are intended to resolve;
Whereas in order to ensure its effectiveness, the pilot action in question will be carried out with the agreement of the national authorities of the Member State concerned and in close cooperation with the responsible regional and local authorities,
A pilot action is hereby instituted in the region of Basilicata, Italy, in preparation for the integrated Mediterranean programmes. This pilot action is described in Annex 1.
The implementation of the pilot action shall be reviewed at regular intervals by the Commission in consultation with the Member State concerned so that it may be decided whether, and in which respects, the items set out in Annex I should be modified.
In particular, in order to ensure the necessary coordination between this action and the integrated programme proper, the Commission shall assess whether and to what extent it is necessary to include in that programme the operations covered by this Decision that have still not been implemented when the programme comes into force.
If the Commission decides to include in the integrated programme the operations referred to in the preceding paragraph, the date of the Decision in question shall be deemed for financial accounting purposes to be the completion of the pilot action.
The pilot action shall be implemented by means of specific decisions by the Commission on individual operations forming constituent parts of the pilot action. The decisions shall describe the substance of the operations, shall fix the Community's contribution to the financing for each operation and shall define the precedures. The general conditions to be met for such specific decisions to be taken are set out in Annex 2.
Within three months of the date referred to in the third paragraph of Article 2 or of the completion of all the operations under the pilot action, the Member State concerned be shall transmit to the Commission a report in five copies on the lessons to be drawn from the pilot action as a whole for the implementation of the integrated Mediterranean programmes.
A monitoring committee shall be set up by agreement between the Commission and the national, regional and local authorities concerned in the Member State to check on the implementation of the pilot action. Those authorities shall, in consultation with the Commission, take the other administrative measures necessary at each level of administration.
The assistance that the Commission decides upon for the pilot action shall not bind the Community as regards the final selection of the areas in which the integrated Mediterranean programmes are to be carried out out.

of 19 March 2001
amending Article 1 of Decision 1999/80/EC authorising the Italian Republic to apply a measure derogating from Articles 2 and 10 of the Sixth Directive 77/388/EEC on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes
(2001/244/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977(1) on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes - Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment, and in particular Article 27 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 27(1) of the Sixth VAT Directive, the Council, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission, may authorise any Member State to introduce or extend special measures for derogation from that Directive in order to simplify the procedure for charging the tax or to prevent certain types of tax evasion or avoidance.
(2) By letter registered with the Commission's Secretariat-General on 19 September 2000, the Italian Republic requested authorisation to extend the application of the derogation previously granted to it by Decision 1999/80/EC(2).
(3) The other Member States were informed on 17 October 2000 of the said request.
(4) The derogation in question is designed:
(a) to exempt, without granting a right to deduction of input tax, supplies of scrap metal and other recyclable materials made either by firms which have a fixed establishment and a generated turnover excluding tax of not more than ITL 2 billion during the previous year or by firms which do not have a fixed establishment;
(b) to grant to firms which have a fixed establishment and a generated turnover excluding tax of between ITL 150 million and ITL 2 thousand million during the previous year, the right to opt for the normal taxation arrangements;
(c) to apply the VAT suspension arrangements with the right to deduct input tax, to supplies of non-ferrous scrap, irrespective of the turnover excluding VAT of the firm making them.
(5) This measure has proven to be an effective means of combating the evasion or fraud and the legal and factual circumstances which justified granting authorisation to apply a derogation have not changed and still obtain.
(6) On 7 June 2000 the Commission published a strategy to improve the operation of the VAT system in the short term, including the modernisation, simplification and the countering of abuse of the current rules while moving towards greater uniform application.
(7) In the context of this strategy the Commission would expect fewer derogations but pending reflection on this area, the Commission accepts that this measure significantly counters abuse of the VAT system.
(8) It is appropriate, therefore, to extend the period of the authorisation granted until 31 December 2003 pending an assessment of the compatibility of this measure with the overall approach to the system of VAT.
(9) The derogation has no adverse impact on the European Communities' own resources accruing from VAT,
Article 1 of Decision 1999/80/EC shall be replaced by the following:
"Article 1
The Italian Republic is hereby authorised until 31 December 2003 to apply a special measure for taxation of used and waste materials that contains provisions derogating from the Sixth Directive 77/388/EEC.
The provisions in question are laid down in Articles 2 and 3 below."
This Decision shall apply from 1 January 2001.

| COUNCIL DECISION
of 29 June 1984
on the multiannual research and training programmes to be carried out by the Joint Research Centre (JRC)
(84/337/Euratom, EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 235 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1), presented after consultation of the Scientific and Technical Committee,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas a programme which stretches over several years cannot, given the rapid developments in science, lay down in advance the details of all the research activities required; whereas this is particularly the case with the multiannual programme of the Joint Research Centre (JRC); whereas this programme should therefore be invested with a higher degree of flexibility, and provision should be made for the instruments enabling it to be speedily adapted;
Whereas it is therefore desirable to establish a procedure which enables the Commission, with the participation of representatives of the Member States, to take the decisions necessary for the adaptation of the programme, the general content of which has been adopted by the Council, and to ensure close cooperation between the JRC and the Member States with regard to the implementation of the research programmes;
Whereas adaptation of the multiannual programme will not affect existing financial arrangements (Financial Regulation) or compliance with the budgetary procedure (preparation of the financing plan and definition of the conditions for its application);
Whereas, by its Decision 84/339/Euratom (3), the Commission, in altering the structure of the JRC, has set up a Board of Governors and a Scientific Council to advise it and assist it in its tasks,
The Council shall adopt the JRC multiannual programme with reference to the following guidelines:
(a) it shall indicate the research fields, corresponding to research action programmes, in which work is to be carried out under the programme;
(b) it shall provide an estimate of the relevant proportions of financing and staffing required for research work within each field;
(c) it shall provide an estimate of the resources necessary for the implementation of the programme, on the basis of:
- the staff complement authorized for the duration of the programme, and
- the financial cost of the programme in ECU, at the value obtaining when the decision adopting the multiannual programme is taken.
Should the need arise, and within the framework fixed by the Council Decision on the multiannual programme, the Commission is authorized, under the conditions provided for in Article 3, to take the necessary decisions in order to adapt the JRC multiannual programme, either to take account of research requirements that emerge at Community level after the multiannual programme has been adopted or to allow the JRC the flexibility it requires.
Where the Commission considers it necessary to adapt the JRC multiannual programme within the framework defined in the Council Decision on the multiannual programme, it shall submit a draft measure for the approval of the JRC Board of Governors established under Article 4 of Commission Decision 71/57/Euratom (4), as last amended by Decision 84/339/Euratom, and shall inform the Committee on Energy, Research and Technology and the Committee on Budgets of the European Parliament thereof.
In order to implement the proposed measure, the Commission shall obtain approval from the JRC Board of Governors. Such approval shall be arrived at
by means of a qualified majority, within the meaning of Article 148 (2) of the EEC Treaty and Article 118 (2) of the Euratom Treaty; the chairman shall not vote.
After approval from the Board of Governors, in accordance with Article 3, the Commission may, within the framework defined by the Council Decision on the multiannual programme, adapt the multiannual Community programme of the JRC, subject to the following limitations:
(a) transfers between research action programmes (RAPs) within the meaning of Decision 84/1/Euratom, EEC (1) shall be limited to 15 % of the indicative amounts of each RAP in the case of RAPs whose share of the total amount deemed necessary for the execution of the multiannual programme is less than 150 million ECU and to 10 % in the case of RAPs whose share of that total amount is more than 150 million ECU. No RAP may be increased by more than 15 %. If a member of the Board of Governors considers that a decision taken within the abovementioned limits would be such as to alter the balance of the multiannual programme, he may request that the decision be referred to the Permanent Representatives Committee;
(b) within the RAP, transfers between sub-programmes shall similarly be limited to 15 % of the indicative amounts of each sub-programme for those sub-programmes with an appropriation of less than 150 million ECU and 10 % for those sub-programmes with an appropriation of more than 150 million ECU;
(c) within a sub-programme, the Commission may delete or modify projects or introduce new projects, provided that the aggregate financial consequences of such actions do not modify the resources of the sub-programmes by more than 15 % in the case of sub-programmes whose share of the abovementioned total amount is less than 150 million ECU and by more than 10 % in the case of sub-programmes whose share of that total amount is more than 150 million ECU;
(d) in the case of the introduction of a new project, the share allocated to it should not exceed 5 million ECU.
This Decision shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply for the duration of the 1984 to 1987 JRC research programme, adopted by Decision 84/1/Euratom, EEC and may be extended or amended on a proposal from the Commission. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concerning additives in feedingstuffs (1), and in particular Articles 3 and 9 thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (2), and in particular Article 25 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition.
(2) Article 25 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 lays down transitional measures for applications for the authorisation of feed additives submitted in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC before the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) The application for authorisation of the additive set out in the Annex to this Regulation was submitted before the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(4) Initial comments on that application, as provided for in Article 4(4) of Directive 70/524/EEC, were forwarded to the Commission before the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. That application is therefore to continue to be treated in accordance with Article 4 of Directive 70/524/EEC.

The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) delivered two opinions (6) on the safety of the use of that coccidiostat for humans, animals and environment, under the conditions set out in the Annex to this Regulation. The assessment shows that the conditions laid down in Article 3a of Directive 70/524/EEC for such authorisation are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of this preparation, as specified in Annex, should be authorised for ten years.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The preparation belonging to the group ‘Coccidiostats and other medicinal substances’, as specified in the Annex, is authorised for use for ten years as additive in animal nutrition under the conditions laid down in that Annex.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 July 2002 on the application of international accounting standards (1), and in particular Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Commission Regulation (EC) No 1725/2003 (2), certain international standards and interpretations that were extant at 14 September 2002 were adopted.
(2) The Commission adopted International Accounting Standard (IAS) 39 with the exclusion of certain provisions relating to the full Fair Value Option and hedge accounting, by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2086/2004 of 19 November 2004 amending Regulation (EC) No 1725/2003 on the adoption of certain international accounting standards in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the insertion of IAS 39 (3). The Commission adopted improved IAS 39 standard for limited fair value option by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1864/2005 (4).
(3) On 14 April 2005, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) published an amendment to IAS 39 allowing entities in particular to designate, in certain circumstances, a forecast intragroup transaction denominated in a foreign currency as the hedged item in consolidated financial statements. It is a common risk management practice to designate the foreign currency risk of a forecast intragroup transaction as the hedged item and the current IAS 39 did not permit hedge accounting for this. Under the current IAS 39 only a transaction external to the entity can be designated as a hedged item.
(4) The consultation with technical experts in the field confirms that the amendments to IAS 39 meet the technical criteria for adoption set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 1725/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Accounting Regulatory Committee,
In the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1725/2003 International Accounting Standard (IAS) 39 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

Whereas, because of the outbreak of classical swine fever in certain production regions in Spain, exceptional measures to support the pigmeat market were adopted for that Member State in Commission Regulation (EC) No 913/97 (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1301/97 (4);
Whereas, because of continuing veterinary and trade restrictions adopted by the Spanish authorities and their extension to new areas, the number of pigs for fattening which may be delivered to the competent authorities should be increased, thus allowing the continuation of the exceptional measures in the coming weeks;
Whereas the aid granted for the delivery of piglets should be adjusted to the current market situation, taking account of the fall in prices;
Whereas the rapid and efficient application of the exceptional market support measures is one of the best ways of combating the spread of classical swine fever; whereas the application of one of the provisions of this Regulation from 16 July 1997 is therefore justified;

| DIRECTIVE 96/57/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 3 September 1996 on energy efficiency requirements for household electric refrigerators, freezers and combinations thereof
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 100a thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 189b of the Treaty (3),
(1) Whereas it is important to promote measures aimed at the proper functioning of the internal market;
(2) Whereas in its resolution of 15 January 1985 on the improvement of energy-saving programmes in the Member States (4) the Council invited the Member States to pursue and where necessary increase their efforts to promote the more rational use of energy by the further development of integrated energy-saving policies;
(3) Whereas household refrigeration appliances account for a significant share of domestic electricity consumption in the Community and thus of total electricity consumption; whereas the various models of refrigeration appliances available on the Community market have very different levels of consumption for a given volume and similar features, i.e. extremely variable energy efficiency;
(4) Whereas some Member States are on the point of adopting provisions relating to the efficiency of household refrigerators and freezers, which might create barriers to trade in these products in the Community;
(5) Whereas it is appropriate to take as a base a high level of protection in proposals for the approximation of the provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action in Member States concerning health, safety, environmental protection and consumer protection; whereas this Directive ensures a high level of protection for both the environment and the consumer, in aiming at a significant improvement of the energy efficiency of these appliances;
(6) Whereas the adoption of such measures falls within Community competence; whereas the requirements of this Directive are within the limits of its objectives, thus conforming to the requirements of Article 3b of the Treaty;
(7) Whereas, moreover, Article 130r of the Treaty calls for the protection and improvement of the environment and the prudent and rational utilization of natural resources, these two objectives being among those of the Community policy on the environment; whereas electricity generation and consumption account for 30 % of man-made carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and some 35 % of primary energy consumption in the Community; whereas these percentages are increasing;
(8) Whereas, furthermore, Council Decision 89/364/EEC of 5 June 1989 on a Community action programme for improving the efficiency of electricity use (5) has as its twin objectives to encourage consumers to favour appliances and equipment with high electrical efficiency and to improve the efficiency of appliances and equipment;
(9) Whereas in its conclusions of 29 October 1990 the Council set an objective of stabilizing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the Community at 1990 levels by the year 2 000; whereas in order to achieve this objective stronger measures are required to stabilize CO2 emissions within the Community;
(10) Whereas Decision 91/565/EEC (6) established a programme to promote energy efficiency in the Community (the SAVE programme);
(11) Whereas the energy efficiency measures incorporated in the most up-to-date models of refrigeration appliances available do not increase their production costs excessively and can pay for their initial cost through electricity savings within a few years or even more rapidly; whereas this calculation does not take into account the added benefit of the external costs of electricity generation thereby avoided, such as emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other pollutants;
(12) Whereas the 'natural` gain in energy efficiency due to market pressures and improved production processes, estimated at around 2 % per year, will contribute to efforts to achieve stricter energy consumption standards;
(13) Whereas Directive 92/75/EEC (7) (the framework Directive) and Commission Directive 94/2/EC (8) (the Directive implementing Directive 92/75/EEC), which require the compulsory labelling of appliances and an indication in other forms of the energy consumption, will increase consumers' awareness of the energy efficiency of household refrigeration appliances; whereas this measure will therefore also encourage the various competitors to offer levels of energy efficiency for their appliances higher than the standards required by this Directive; whereas, however, the provision of information to consumers must nevertheless be accompanied by an indication of the standards in order to achieve full benefit and lead to a real improvement in the total average efficiency of the appliances sold;
(14) Whereas this Directive, which is aimed at eliminating technical barriers with regard to improving the energy efficiency of household refrigeration appliances, must follow the 'new approach` established by the Council resolution of 7 May 1985 on a new approach to technical harmonization and standards (9) which specifically lays down that legislative harmonization is limited to the adoption, by means of directives, of the essential requirements with which products put on the market must conform;
(15) Whereas an effective enforcement system is necessary to ensure that the Directive is implemented properly, guarantee fair conditions of competition for producers and protect consumer rights;
(16) Whereas regard should be had to Council Decision 93/465/EEC of 22 July 1993 concerning the modules for the various phases of the conformity assessment procedures and the rules for the affixing and use of the CE conformity marking (10), which are intended to be used in the technical harmonization directives;
(17) Whereas in the interest of international trade, international standards should be used wherever appropriate; whereas the electricity consumption of a refrigeration appliance is defined by the European Committee for Standardization Standard EN 153 of July 1995 which is based on an international standard;
(18) Whereas household refrigeration appliances complying with the energy efficiency requirements of this Directive must bear the 'CE` marking and associated information, in order to enable them to move freely;
(19) Whereas this Directive is confined to household refrigeration appliances for foodstuffs, supplied by mains electricity, excluding those manufactured on a one-off basis; whereas refrigeration equipment for commercial use is much more varied and not appropriate for inclusion in this Directive,
This Directive shall apply to new electric mains-operated household refrigerators, frozen food storage cabinets, food freezers, and combinations of these as defined in Annex I and referred to hereafter as 'refrigeration appliances`. Appliances which can also use other energy sources, particularly accumulators, and household refrigeration appliances working on the absorption principle and appliances manufactured on a one-off basis shall be excluded.
1. Member States shall take all necessary measures to ensure that refrigeration appliances covered by this Directive can be placed on the Community market only if the electricity consumption of the appliance in question is less than or equal to the maximum allowable electricity consumption value for its category as calculated according to the procedures defined in Annex I.
2. The manufacturer of a refrigeration appliance covered by this Directive, his authorized representative established in the Community or the person responsible for placing the appliance on the Community market shall be responsible for ensuring that each appliance placed on the market conforms with the requirement referred to in paragraph 1.
1. Member States may not prohibit, restrict or impede the placing on the market in their territory of refrigeration appliances which bear the 'CE` marking attesting to their conformity with all the provisions of this Directive.
2. Unless they have evidence to the contrary, Member States shall presume that refrigeration appliances bearing the 'CE` marking required under Article 5 comply with all the provisions of this Directive.
3. (a) Where refrigeration appliances are subject to other directives covering other aspects which also provide for affixing of the 'CE` marking, the latter shall indicate that the refrigeration appliances in question are also presumed, unless evidence to the contrary exists, to conform to the provisions of those other directives.
(b) However, where one or more of those directives allows the manufacturer, during a transitional period, to choose which rules to apply, the 'CE` marking shall indicate conformity solely with the provisions of those directives applied by the manufacturer. In that case, the reference numbers of the directives applied, as published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, must be given in the documents, notices or instructions accompanying the refrigeration appliances.
The conformity assessment procedures and the obligations relating to the 'CE` marking of refrigeration appliances are laid down in Annex II.
1. When appliances are placed on the market, they must bear the 'CE` marking, which shall consist of the initials 'CE`. The form of the marking to be used is shown in Annex III. The 'CE` marking shall be affixed visibly, legibly and indelibly to refrigeration appliances and, where appropriate, to the packaging.
2. The affixing on refrigeration appliances of any markings which are likely to mislead third parties as to the meaning and form of the 'CE` marking shall be prohibited. Any other marking may be affixed to the appliances, their packaging, the instruction sheet or other documents, provided that the 'CE` marking remains visible and legible.
1. Where a Member State establishes that the 'CE` marking has been affixed improperly, the manufacturer or his authorized representative established within the Community shall be obliged to bring the product into conformity and to end the infringement in accordance with conditions imposed by the Member State. Where neither the manufacturer nor his authorized representative is established within the Community, the person who places the refrigeration appliance on the Community market shall undertake these obligations.
2. Where the product continues not to be in conformity, the Member State shall take all necessary measures pursuant to Article 7 to restrict or prohibit the placing on the market of the product in question or to ensure that it is withdrawn from the market.
1. Any decision taken pursuant to this Directive which contains a restriction on the placing on the market of refrigeration appliances shall state the precise grounds on which it is based. The party concerned shall be notified without delay of the decision and shall be informed at the same time of the possibilities and time limits regarding the legal remedies available to it under the laws in force in the Member State in question.
2. The Member State shall immediately inform the Commission of any such measure, indicating the reasons for its decision. The Commission shall make this information known to the other Member States.
Before the expiry of a period of four years from the adoption of this Directive, the Commission shall make an assessment of the results obtained as compared with those expected. With a view to advancing to a second stage in energy efficiency improvement, the Commission shall then consider, in consultation with the interested parties, the need to lay down a second set of appropriate measures for significantly improving the energy efficiency of household refrigeration appliances. In that case, each energy efficiency measure and the date of its entry into force will be based on energy efficiency levels which can be economically and technically justified in the light of the circumstances at the time. Any other measure judged appropriate to improve the efficiency of household refrigeration appliances shall also be considered.
1. Member States shall adopt and publish the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive within a year of its adoption. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.
Member States shall apply these provisions on the expiry of a period of three years counting from the date of adoption of this Directive.
When Member States adopt these provisions, these shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference at the time of their official publication. The procedure for such reference shall be adopted by Member States.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the texts of the provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
3. During a three-year period following adoption of this Directive, Member States shall permit the placing on the market of refrigeration appliances which comply with the same conditions as those which were applied on their territory at the date of adoption of this Directive.

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2531/98 of 23 November 1998 concerning the application of minimum reserves by the European Central Bank
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Protocol (No 3) on the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank (the 'Statute`) and in particular to Article 19.2 thereof,
Having regard to the recommendation of the European Central Bank (the 'ECB`) (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Commission (3),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 106(6) of the Treaty establishing the European Community (hereinafter referred to as the 'Treaty`) and in Article 42 of the Statute and under the conditions set out in Article 43.1 of the Statute and paragraph 8 of the Protocol (No 11) on certain provisions relating to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland,
(1) Whereas Article 19.2, in conjunction with Article 43.1 of the Statute, paragraph 8 of Protocol No 11 and paragraph 2 of the Protocol (No 12) on certain provisions relating to Denmark, are not to confer any rights or impose any obligations on a non-participating Member State;
(2) Whereas Article 19.2 of the Statute requires the Council to define, inter alia, the basis for minimum reserves and the maximum permissible ratios between those reserves and their basis;
(3) Whereas Article 19.2 of the Statute also requires the Council to define the appropriate sanctions in cases of non-compliance with those requirements; whereas specific sanctions are set out herein; whereas this Regulation refers to Council Regulation (EC) No 2532/98 of 23 November 1998, concerning the powers of the European Central Bank to impose sanctions (4) for the principles and procedures relating to the imposition of sanctions and provides for a simplified procedure for the imposition of sanctions in the event of certain kinds of infringements; whereas, in the event of a conflict between the provisions of the Regulation (EC) No 2532/98 and the provisions of this Regulation enabling the ECB to impose sanctions, the provisions of this Regulation should prevail;
(4) Whereas Article 19.1 of the Statute provides that the Governing Council of the ECB may establish regulations concerning the calculation and determination of the required minimum reserves;
(5) Whereas, in order to be effective as an instrument for the performance of money market management and monetary control functions, the system for the imposition of minimum reserves needs to be structured so that the ECB has the ability and flexibility to impose reserve requirements within the context of, and dependent upon, changing economic and financial conditions among participating Member States; whereas in this respect the ECB must have the flexibility to react to new payment technologies such as the development of electronic money; whereas the ECB may impose minimum reserves on liabilities resulting from off-balance-sheet items, in particular those that are either individually or in combination with other on-balance-sheet or off-balance-sheet items, comparable with liabilities recorded on the balance sheet, in order to limit the possibilities of circumvention;
(6) Whereas the ECB, in establishing detailed regulations for the imposition of minimum reserves, including determining the actual reserve ratios, any remuneration of reserves, any exemptions from minimum reserves or any modifications to such requirements applicable to any specific group or groups of institutions, is bound to act in pursuance of the objectives of the European System of Central Banks (the 'ESCB`) as set out in Article 105(1) of the Treaty and as reflected in Article 2 of the Statute; whereas this implies, inter alia, the principle of not inducing significant undesirable delocation or disintermediation; whereas the imposition of such minimum reserves may constitute an element of the definition and implementation of the monetary policy of the Community, being one of the basic tasks of the ESCB as specified in the first indent of Article 105(2) of the Treaty and as reflected in the first indent of Article 3.1 of the Statute;
(7) Whereas the sanctions provided in the event of non-compliance with the obligations set out in this Regulation are without prejudice to the possibility of the ESCB establishing appropriate enforcement provisions in its relations with counterparties, including the partial or total exclusion of an institution from monetary policy operations in the case of serious infringements of the minimum reserve requirements;
(8) Whereas the ESCB and the ECB have been entrusted with the task of preparing the monetary policy instruments to allow for their full operation in the third stage of Economic and Monetary Union (hereinafter referred to as 'Stage Three`); whereas an essential element of preparation is the adoption, ahead of Stage Three, of ECB regulations requiring institutions to hold minimum reserves as from 1 January 1999; whereas it is desirable to inform market participants during 1998 of the detailed provisions which the ECB may deem necessary to adopt for the implementation of the minimum reserves system; whereas it is therefore necessary to provide the ECB from the date of entry into force of this Regulation with a regulatory power;
(9) Whereas the provisions of this Regulation can only be effectively applied in their entirety if participating Member States adopt the necessary measures with a view to ensuring that their authorities have the powers to assist and collaborate fully with the ECB in carrying out the collection and verification of information as required by this Regulation, in accordance with Article 5 of the Treaty,
Definitions

(i) liabilities of the institution resulting from the acceptance of funds, together with
(ii) liabilities resulting from off-balance-sheet items, but excluding
(iii) fully or partly liabilities which are owed to any other institution according to modalities which shall be specified by the ECB, and
(iv) liabilities which are owed to the ECB or to a national central bank.
2. For liabilities in the form of negotiable debt instruments, the ECB may specify, as an alternative to the provision in paragraph 1 (iii), that liabilities which are owed by one institution to another shall be fully or partly deducted from the basis for minimum reserves of the institution to which they are owed.
3. The ECB may, on a non-discriminatory basis, allow the deduction of specific types of assets from categories of liabilities forming part of the basis for minimum reserves.
Reserve ratios
1. Reserve ratios, which the ECB may specify according to Article 19.1 of the Statute, shall not exceed 10 % of any relevant liabilities forming part of the basis for minimum reserves but may be 0 %.
2. Subject to paragraph 1, the ECB may, on a non-discriminatory basis, specify differing reserve ratios for specific categories of liabilities forming part of the basis for minimum reserves.
Regulatory power
For the purpose of Articles 2, 3 and 4, the ECB shall adopt, where appropriate, regulations or decisions.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 992/2005
of 29 June 2005
opening and providing for the administration of an import quota for young male bovine animals for fattening (1 July 2005 to 30 June 2006)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1), and in particular Article 32(1) thereof,
Whereas,
(1) The World Trade Organisation (WTO) schedule CXL requires the Community to open an annual import tariff quota for 169 000 head of young male bovine animals for fattening.
(2) Pending the results of the negotiations under Article XXIV.6 GATT in the context of the WTO following the Accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Hungary, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia (hereinafter referred to as the new Member States) certain of which were, together with Romania, the principal supplier countries within this quota in the last three quota years, it is appropriate to lay down in the detailed rules for the management of this tariff quota that for the period 1 July 2005 to 30 June 2006 the available quantity should be phased over the year in a suitable manner within the meaning of Article 32(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999.
(3) To take into account the traditional trade patterns between the Community and the supplier countries within this quota and the need to safeguard the equilibrium of the market, the quantity available is staggered over four quarters for the quota year 2005/2006. Once the ongoing XXIV.6 negotiations have been finalised and ratified, new management rules will be implemented. Those rules should take into account the results of those negotiations and the quantities already used within the quota hereby opened.
(4) In order to provide a more equal access to the quota while ensuring a commercially viable number of animals per application, each application of import licences should respect a minimum and a maximum number of heads.
(5) With a view to preventing speculation, the quantities available within the quota should be made accessible to operators able to show that they are genuinely engaged in import of a significant scale from third countries. In consideration of this and in order to ensure efficient management, the traders concerned should be required to have imported a minimum of 100 animals during the period 1 May 2004 to 30 April 2005 given that a consignment of 100 animals may be considered to be a commercial viable consignment.
(6) If such criteria should to be checked, applications must be presented in the Member State where the importer is entered in a VAT register.
(7) In order to prevent speculation, importers no longer involved in trade in live bovine animals at 1 January 2005 should be denied access to the quota and licences should not be transferable.
(8) Provision should be made for quantities for which licence applications may be requested to be allocated after a period of consideration and, where appropriate, once a uniform percentage reduction has been applied.
(9) The arrangements should be managed using import licences. To this end, rules should be laid down on the submission of applications and the information to be given on applications and licences, where necessary by addition of certain provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 of 26 June 1995 on rules of application for import and export licences in the beef and veal sector and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 (2) and of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 of 9 June 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (3).
(10) Experience shows that a proper management of the quota also requires that the titular holder of the licence is a genuine importer. Therefore, such importer should actively participate in the purchase, transport and import of the animals concerned. Presentation of proof of those activities should thus also be a primary requirement with regard to the licence security.
(11) With a view to ensuring a strict statistical control of the animals imported under the quota, the tolerance referred to in Article 8(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 should not apply.
(12) The application of this tariff quota requires effective checks on the specific destination of the imported animals. The animals should therefore be fattened in the Member State which has issued the import licence.
(13) A security should be lodged to ensure that the animals are fattened for at least 120 days in designated production units. The amount of the security should cover the difference between the common customs tariff (CCT) duty and the reduced duty applicable on the date of release for free circulation of the animals in question.
(14) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
1. A tariff quota for 169 000 young male bovine animals falling within CN code 0102 90 05, 0102 90 29 or 0102 90 49 and intended for fattening in the Community is hereby opened for the period 1 July 2005 to 30 June 2006 subject to any reductions negotiated subsequently between the Community and its WTO partners within the framework of the negotiations under Article XXIV.6 GATT in the context of the WTO.
This tariff quota shall have the order number 09.4005.
2. The customs import duty applicable under the tariff quota referred to in paragraph 1 shall be 16 % ad valorem plus EUR 582 per tonne net.
The rate of duty provided for in the first subparagraph shall apply on condition that the imported animals are fattened for at least 120 days in the Member State which has issued the import licence.
3. The quantities referred under paragraph 1 shall be staggered over the period referred to in that paragraph as follows:
(a) 42 250 live bovine animals for the period 1 July to 30 September 2005;
(b) 42 250 live animals for the period 1 October to 31 December 2005;
(c) 42 250 live animals for the period 1 January to 31 March 2006;
(d) 42 250 live animals for the period 1 April to 30 June 2006.
4. If, during one of the periods mentioned under paragraphs 3(a), 3(b) and 3(c), the quantity covered by licence applications submitted for each of these periods is less than the quantity available for the period in question, the remaining quantity of that period will be added to the quantity available for the following period.
1. To be eligible under the quota provided for in Article 1, applicants must be natural or legal persons and must prove to the satisfaction of the competent authorities of the Member State concerned, at the time they submit their applications for import licences, that they have imported at least 100 animals covered by CN code 0102 90 during the period 1 May 2004 to 30 April 2005.
Applicants must be listed in a national VAT register.
2. Proof of import shall be furnished exclusively by means of the customs document of release for free circulation, duly endorsed by the customs authorities and containing a reference to the applicant concerned as being the consignee.
Member States may accept copies of the documents referred to in the first subparagraph, duly certified by the competent authority. Where such copies are accepted, notification hereof shall be made in the communication from Member States referred to in Article 3(5) in respect of each applicant concerned.
3. Operators who at 1 January 2005 have ceased their activities in trade with third countries in the beef and veal sector shall not qualify for any application.
4. A company formed by the merger of companies each having reference imports complying with the minimum quantity referred to in paragraph 1 may use those reference imports as a basis for its application.
1. Applications for import licences may be submitted only in the Member State in which the applicant is registered for VAT purposes.
2. Applications for import licences per each period referred to in Article 1(3):
(a) must cover at least 100 animals,
(b) may not cover more than 5 % of the quantity available.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 467/87 (2), and in particular Article 7 (3) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2539/84 of 5 September 1984 laying down detailed rules for certain sales of frozen beef held by the intervention agencies (3) has provided for the possibility of applying a two-stage procedure when selling beef from intervention stocks;
Whereas certain intervention agencies hold substantial stocks of boned intervention meat; whereas an extension of the period of storage for the meat bought in should be avoided on account of the ensuing high costs; whereas outlets exist in certain third countries for the products in question and it is appropriate therefore to offer this meat for sale at a price fixed at a standard rate in advance in accordance with Commission Regulations (EEC) No 2539/84 and (EEC) No 2824/85 (4);
Whereas it is necessary to lay down a time limit for export of the said meat; whereas this time limit should be fixed in taking into account Article 5 (b) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 of 4 September 1980 on special detailed rules for the application for the system of import and export licences in the beef and veal sector (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 520/87 (6);
Whereas the export of meat sold under this Regulation must be guaranteed by the lodging of a security, the amount of which may differ from that provided for in Article 15 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2173/79 (7); whereas such security shall be released when proof, as required by Article 13 (4) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1687/76 (8), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1418/87 (9), has been furnished within the time limit laid down in Article 31 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2730/79 (10), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2108/86 (11);
Whereas it is appropriate to specify that, in view of the prices which have been fixed in the context of this sale in order to permit the disposal of certain cuts, exports of such cuts should not be eligible for the refunds periodically fixed in the beef and veal sector; whereas, for the same reason, footnote (7) to Part 3 of Annex I to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 119/87 of 14 January 1987 fixing the monetary compensatory amounts applicable in the agricultural sector and certain coefficients and rates required for their application (12) should be applied;
Whereas products held by intervention agencies and intended for export are subject to the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 1687/76; whereas, however, Annex I of the said Regulation setting out the entries to be made in control copies should be expanded;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1054/87 (13) should be repealed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
1. Part of the stocks of boned intervention beef held by the intervention agencies of Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland and the United Kingdom shall be sold.
This meat shall be for export.
Subject to the provisions of this Regulation, the sale shall take place in accordance with the provisions of Regulations (EEC) No 2539/84 and (EEC) No 2824/85.
The provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 985/81 (14) shall not apply to this sale.
2. The qualities and the minimum prices referred to in Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2539/84 are given in Annex I hereto.
3. Only those tenders shall be taken into consideration which reach the intervention agencies concerned no later than 12 noon on 27 May 1987.
4. Particulars relating to the quantities and the places where the products are stored may be obtained by interested parties at the addresses given in Annex II.
The products referred to in Article 1 must be exported within six months from the date of conclusion of the contract of sale.
1. The security provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 2539/84 is hereby fixed at:
- 460 ECU per 100 kilograms of the meat referred to under 1 a), 2 a), 3 a), 4 a) and 5 a) in Annex I,
- 360 ECU per 100 kilograms of the meat referred to under 1 b), 2 b), 3 b), 4 b) and 5 b) in Annex I.
2. Without prejudice to Article 15 (2) and (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2173/79 the security referred to in paragraph 1 shall be released when the proof provided for in Article 13 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1687/76 is furnished.
3. The said proof shall be furnished within the time limit laid down in Article 31 of Regulation (EEC) No 2730/79.

| Commission Regulation (EC) No 1273/2003
of 17 July 2003
fixing the export refunds on pigmeat
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in pigmeat(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1365/2000(2), and in particular the second paragraph of Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1) of that Regulation and prices for these products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) It follows from applying these rules and criteria to the present situation on the market in pigmeat that the refund should be fixed as set out below.
(3) In the case of products falling within CN code 0210 19 81, the refund should be limited to an amount which takes account of the qualitative characteristics of each of the products falling within these codes and of the foreseeable trend of production costs on the world market. It is important that the Community should continue to take part in international trade in the case of certain typical Italian products falling within CN code 0210 19 81.
(4) Because of the conditions of competition in certain third countries, which are traditionally importers of products falling within CN codes 1601 00 and 1602, the refund for these products should be fixed so as to take this situation into account. Steps should be taken to ensure that the refund is granted only for the net weight of the edible substances, to the exclusion of the net weight of the bones possibly contained in the said preparations.
(5) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund on the products listed in Article 1(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 according to destination.
(6) The refunds should be fixed taking account of the amendments to the refund nomenclature established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 118/2003(4).
(7) Refunds should be granted only on products that are allowed to circulate freely within the Community. Therefore, to be eligible for a refund, products should be required to bear the health mark laid down in Council Directive 64/433/EEC(5), as last amended by Directive 95/23/EC(6), Council Directive 94/65/EC(7) and Council Directive 77/99/EEC(8), as last amended by Directive 97/76/EC(9).
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
The list of products on which the export refund specified in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 is granted and the amount of the refund shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
The products concerned must comply with the relevant provisions on health marks laid down in:
- Chapter XI of Annex I to Directive 64/433/EEC,
- Chapter VI of Annex I to Directive 94/65/EC,
- Chapter VI of Annex B to Directive 77/99/EEC.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 21 July 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 740/2009
of 12 August 2009
amending Regulation (EC) No 1282/2006 as regards export refunds for milk and milk products
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Articles 170 and 171, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1282/2006 of 17 August 2006 laying down special detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards export licences and export refunds for milk and milk products (2) fixes a minimum free-at-frontier price for cheeses in order to benefit from an export refund.
(2) This price is fixed at a level to ensure that the cheese for which an export refund is claimed is a quality cheese as opposed to a degraded cheese, cheese waste or cheese rind so that the refund arrangements can achieve their full economic impact. The unfavourable market circumstances since the autumn of 2008 have resulted in a continuous and sharp decrease of the cheese prices on the internal market to such an extent that the current minimum free-at-frontier price is no more reflecting the threshold in respect of its objective. The cheese market and the prices are likely to stay weak and volatile for a long period, which makes the fixing of an appropriate threshold price extremely difficult. The abolition of the minimum price criterion will reduce significantly the administrative burden for traders and competent authorities. The market evolution for cheeses as well as the exports with refunds should be properly monitored in order to reveal any abuse of the minimum price requirement abolition.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 1282/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1282/2006 is deleted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply to export licence applications lodged from the date of entry into force of this Regulation.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3832/90 of 20 December 1990 applying generalized tariff preferences for 1991 in respect of textile products originating in developing countries (1), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Whereas Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 3832/90 provides that preferential tariff treatment shall be accorded, for each category of products subjected in Annexes I and II thereto to individual ceilings, within the limits of the quantities specified in column 8 of Annex I and column 7 of Annex II, in respect of certain or each of the countries or territories of origin referred to in column 5 of the same Annexes;

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2699/2000(2), and in particular Article 16(3),
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1429/95(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1962/2001(4), sets implementing rules for export refunds on products processed from fruit and vegetables.
(2) Article 16(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 states that, to the extent necessary to permit exports in economically significant quantities of the products referred to in Article 1(1)(a) of that Regulation, on the basis of prices for those products in international trade, the difference between those prices and prices in the Community may be covered by export refunds; Article 18(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 provides that, if the refund on sugar incorporated into the products listed in Article 1(1) is insufficient to allow export of the products, the refund fixed in accordance with Article 17 is to be applicable to those products.
(3) Article 17(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 states that refunds must be fixed with regard to the existing situation and outlook for prices for products processed from fruit and vegetables on the Community market and supply availability, on the one hand, and prices in international trade on the other hand. Account must also be taken of the costs indicated at (b) in that paragraph and of the economic aspect of the envisaged exports.
(4) Refunds are, pursuant to Article 16(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96, to be set with due regard to the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(5) Article 17(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 states that prices on the Community market are to be determined taking account of those most favourable from the exportation standpoint; whereas international trade prices are to be determined account taken of the prices indicated in the second subparagraph of that paragraph.
(6) The international trade situation or the special requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund on a given product depending on the destination of that product.
(7) Economically significant exports can be made at the present time of provisionally preserved cherries, peeled tomatoes, preserved cherries, prepared hazelnuts and some orange juices.
(8) Application of the rules mentioned above to the present and forecast market situation, in particular to prices of products processed from fruit and vegetables in the Community and in international trade, leads to the refund rates set in the Annex hereto.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2005/86/EC
of 5 December 2005
amending Annex I to Directive 2002/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on undesirable substances in animal feed as regards camphechlor
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 2002/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 May 2002 on undesirable substances in animal feed (1), and in particular Article 8 (1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2002/32/EC provides that the use of products intended for animal feed which contain levels of undesirable substances exceeding the maximum levels laid down in Annex I thereto is prohibited.
(2) When Directive 2002/32/EC was adopted, the Commission stated that the provisions laid down in Annex I to that Directive would be reviewed on the basis of updated scientific risk assessments and taking into account the prohibition of any dilution of contaminated non-complying products intended for animal feed.
(3) The Scientific Panel on contaminants in the food chain of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) adopted an opinion on a request from the Commission related to camphechlor as undesirable substance in animal feed on 2 February 2005.
(4) Camphechlor is a non systemic insecticide of which the use is phased out in most of the world. Camphechlor mixtures show a complex composition, with at least 202 different congeners identified. Due to its persistence and chemical properties, camphechlor is still found in the environment.
(5) While some congeners, such as CHB 32, which are major constituents in technical mixtures, are subject to relatively fast biotransformation, other congeners such as CHB 26, 50 and 62 are more persistent and bio-accumulate significantly within the food chain. The congeners CHB 26, 50 and 62 can serve as indicators of camphechlor contamination. The presence of CHB 32 is an indicator for a recent contamination and could be included in monitoring programmes to identify possible fraudulent practices.
(6) The main sources of camphechlor exposure to animals from feed are fish oil and fish meal. Fish feed (particularly for carnivorous species) can contain significant amounts of fish meal and fish oil. For other animals the use of fish meal is low, hence their exposure via feed is lower.
(7) Fish are the most sensitive to camphechlor toxicity. The carry-over of camphechlor into edible tissues of fatty fish is high, while the carry over in other farmed animals is lower. Fish, in particular lipid rich species, are the main source of human exposure while other sources are of less importance.
(8) It is appropriate to replace the current general maximum level as regards camphechlor in all feedingstuffs, by a maximum level for camphechlor in fish oil, fish meal and fish feed in order to ensure that these products do not represent any danger to human health and animal health. The feed safety has been improved as the level for fish feed, which is fed directly to fish, has been significantly decreased and enforcement through a targeted control on these products intended for animal feeding identified as being the main source of camphechlor exposure should improve the feed safety.
(9) The current general maximum level for camphechlor does not reflect the current normal background contamination levels in fish oil. It is appropriate to establish a maximum level in fish oil taking into account the background levels without endangering animal and public health. This maximum level is to be reviewed in the light of the necessary application on a wider scale of decontamination procedures.
(10) Directive 2002/32/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(11) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Directive 2002/32/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive 12 months after the entry into force at the latest. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
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 texts of the provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0.2 | 0.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.4 | 0 |
