32003R0931 | Council Regulation (EC) No 931/2003 of 26 May 2003 amending the anti-dumping measures imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1011/2002 on imports of powdered activated carbon (PAC) originating in the People's Republic of China
| Council Regulation (EC) No 931/2003
of 26 May 2003
amending the anti-dumping measures imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1011/2002 on imports of powdered activated carbon (PAC) originating in the People's Republic of China
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community(1), and in particular Article 11(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
1. Measures in force
(1) In June 2002, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1011/2002(2) imposed definitive anti-dumping duties on imports of powdered activated carbon (PAC) originating in the People's Republic of China (PRC). The duties took the form of a specific duty.
2. Initiation
(2) On 29 October 2002, the Commission announced by a notice (Notice of Initiation) published in the Official Journal of the European Communities(3) the initiation of a partial interim review of the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports into the Community of PAC originating in the PRC.
(3) The review was initiated on the initiative of the Commission in order to examine the appropriateness of the form of the measures in force. The current measure, i.e. a duty in the form of a specific duty, does not cater for situations in which imported goods have been damaged before entry into free circulation.
3. Investigation
(4) The Commission officially advised exporting producers, the importers and the users known to be concerned and their associations, the representatives of the exporting country concerned and the Community producers about the initiation of the proceeding. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set out in the Notice of Initiation.
(5) A number of exporting producers in the country concerned, as well as Community producers and Community importers/traders made their views known in writing. All parties who so requested within the set time limit and who demonstrated that there were particular reasons why they should be heard were granted the opportunity to be heard.
(6) The Commission sought and verified all the information it deemed necessary for the purpose of a determination of the appropriateness of the form of the measures in force.
B. RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION
(7) Article 145 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code(4) foresees, for the determination of the customs value, an apportioning of the price actually paid or payable in situations where goods have been damaged before entry into free circulation. In such situations, customs value is reduced by a percentage which corresponds to the apportioning of the price actually paid or payable.
(8) In order to avoid that an excessive amount of anti-dumping duty is levied, the specific duty should, in case of damaged goods, be reduced by a percentage which corresponds to the apportioning of the price actually paid or payable.
(9) No interested party submitted any substantiated comments or arguments against this proposal.
(10) It is therefore concluded that in the absence of any substantiated argument from interested parties, in cases where goods have been damaged before entry into free circulation and, therefore, the price actually paid or payable is apportioned for the determination of the customs value, the specific duty shall be reduced by a percentage which corresponds to the apportioning of the price actually paid or payable,
The following paragraph shall be added to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1011/2002:
"3. In cases where goods have been damaged before entry into free circulation and, therefore, the price actually paid or payable is apportioned for the determination of the customs value pursuant to Article 145 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code(5), the amount of anti-dumping duty, calculated on the basis of the amounts set above, shall be reduced by a percentage which corresponds to the apportioning of the price actually paid or payable."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2048/88 (2), and in particular Article 5 (2) thereof,
After consulting the Fund Committee,
Whereas, by Commission Decision 93/659/EC (3), amounts relating to the additional levy totalling Dr 369 593 980, Pta 29 492 159 232 and Lit 526 309 029 147 for Greece, Spain and Italy respectively, which should have been paid in the milk and milk products sector, were disallowed; whereas the said amounts were charged to Greece, Spain and Italy under the Decision in question; whereas the information available to the Commission at the time did not enable it to calculate exactly the aforementioned disallowed sums; whereas it reserved the option of amending the disallowed sums under a subsequent clearance of accounts decision;
Whereas, in their joint conclusions of 21 October 1994, the Commission and the Council agreed that the proceedings pending before the European Court of Justice relating to that clearance decision should be withdrawn; whereas the Commission will revise those clearance decisions for 1990 which the Court of Justice has been asked to annul in such a way that the financial corrections for the States concerned will be based on the guaranteed quantities allocated at the time and on the most reliable statistical data; whereas the additional costs to be borne by the States affected by the increase in the financial corrections for 1990 should be recovered in four equal annual instalments from 1995 until the end of 1998;
Whereas the amounts of the corrections thus established are unlikely to change, with the result that those corrections become definitive;
Whereas the Annex to Decision 93/659/EC should therefore be amended in respect of Greece, Spain and Italy,
The parts of the Annex to Decision 93/659/EC relating to Greece, Spain and Italy are replaced by the Annex hereto.
The amounts of Dr 452 309 736 payable by Greece, Pta 28 191 034 558 payable by Spain and Lit 403 466 188 800 payable by Italy shall be taken into account as part of the expenditure referred to in Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2776/88 (4) in accordance with the following timetable:

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 the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Articles 6 (5) (b) and 8 (2) thereof,
Whereas, in view of the serious difficulties on the market in beef owing to the extraordinary slaughterings of adult bovine animals, private storage aid should be granted in respect of such animals;
Whereas the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1091/80 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2826/82 (3), should be followed in respect of the grant of private storage aid for beef;
Whereas provisions should be made to ensure that the animals involved be slaughtered exclusively in slaughterhouses which are approved and supervised in accordance with the provisions of Council Directive 64/433/EEC (4), as last amended by Directive 83/90/EEC (5);
Whereas Article 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 989/68 (6), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 428/77 (7), provides that, if the market situation so requires, the period of storage may be curtailed or extended; whereas it is therefore appropriate that, in addition to the amounts of aid granted for a specific storage period, amounts to be added or reduced in the event of that period being extended or curtailed should also be fixed;
Whereas, in order to prevent the financing of normal private storage, it appears desirable to fix high minimum quantities;
Whereas, foreseeable market conditions make it necessary to provide for storage periods between 9 and 12 months; whereas, in order to improve the efficiency of the scheme, provisions should be laid down enabling the applicants to benefit from an advance payment of the aid subject to a security;
Whereas, in view of the exceptional circumstances in the beef market and in order to encourage operators to make use of private storage it should be provided that, for a limited period, products under a private storage contract should be able at the same time to be placed under the system laid down in Article 5 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 565/80 of 4 March 1980 on the advance payment of export refunds in respect of agricultural products (8); whereas, in view of the contractual storage periods it is necessary to derogate from Article 11 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 798/80 of 31 March 1980 laying down general rules on the advance payment of export refunds and positive monetary compensatory amounts in respect of agricultural products (9), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1663/81 (10), as to the period during which the products may stay under the system laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 565/80;
Whereas provision should be made for the possibility of reducing the storage period where meat removed from storage is intended for export; whereas proof that the meat has been exported must be supplied as in the case of refunds, in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2730/79 (11), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 568/85 (12);
Whereas, in order for the Commission to closely monitor the effect of the private storage scheme, a Member State shall communicate the necessary information;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
1. Applications may be submitted between 15 and 26 April 1985 for aid for the private storage of one of the cuts of adult bovine animals defined in Article 2 (2).
The amounts of this aid, by tonne of product, bone in, are fixed in the Annex hereto for each of these cuts, pursuant to Article 6 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1091/80.
If the quantities in respect of which contracts have been applied for or the market situation make it advisable, the deadline for the submission of applications may be changed.
2. The amount of aid shall be adjusted if the period of storage is extended or reduced. The supplements per month and deductions per diem for each of the cuts referred to in Article 2 (2) are fixed in the Annex hereto.
3. Subject to the provisions of this Regulation, the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 1091/80 shall apply.

(b) the rear part of the half-carcase cut in the manner known as 'straight' with a minimum of three ribs and a maximum of five ribs and with a minimum average weight of 55 kilograms,
- the forequarter shall mean:
(a) the front part of the half-carcase cut in the manner known as 'pistola' with a minimum of five ribs and a maximum of eight ribs and with a minimum average weight of 55 kilograms, the flank being attached to the forequarter; or
(b) the front part of the half-carcase and in a manner known as 'straight' with a minimum of eight ribs and a maximum of 10 ribs and with a minimum average weight of 55 kilograms.
3. For the purposes of this Article, carcases and half-carcases shall be presented in accordance with Article 2 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81 (1). Carcases and half-carcases may, however, be presented with the mammary fat.
1. The minimum quantity per contract shall be 20 tonnes expressed as bone-in meat.
2. The contract may only cover unboned meat of one of the cuts referred to in Article 2 (2).

1. Subject to the provisions laid down in paragraph 2, the contractor may, before placing into store, cut or bone all or part of the products referred to in Article 2 (2), provided that only the quantity for which the contract has been concluded is employed and that all the meat resulting from such operations is placed in store.
2. If the quantity stored unboned, or, if cut or boned, the quantity of unboned meat employed, is less than the quantity for which the contract was concluded and:
(a) not less than 90 % of that quantity, the amount of aid referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 1 (1) shall be reduced proportionally;
(b) less than 90 % of that quantity, private storage aid shall not be paid.
3. In case of boning:
(a) if the quantity placed in a store does not exceed 69 kilograms of boned meat per 100 kilograms of unboned meat employed, private storage aid shall not be payable;
(b) if the quantity placed in store exceeds 69 kilograms but is lower than 77 kilograms of boned meat per 100 kilograms of unboned meat employed, the aid referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 1 (1) shall be reduced proportionally.
4. No aid shall be granted:
(a) for quantities placed in store unboned, or in case of cutting or boning, for quantities of unboned meat employed, in excess of the quantities for which the contract was concluded; and
(b) in case of boning, for quantities in excess of 77 kilograms of boned meat per 100 kilograms of unboned meat employed.
1. The period of storage shall be either nine, 10, 11 or 12 months, at the storer's option; the storer shall state his preference at the time of submitting the application referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 1 (1).
2. Entitlement to payment of the aid shall be established only if the meat has remained in storage throughout the storage period.
3. After three months of contractual storage a single advance payment of the aid may be made, at the storer's request, on condition that he lodges a security equal to the advance payment plus 20 %.
The advance payment shall not exceed the aid corresponding to the contracted storage period and shall be converted into national currency by applying the representative rate in force on the day of conclusion of the storage contract.

(1) By Decision 2012/734/EU, the Council authorised the signing, on behalf of the Union, of the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Union and its Member States, on the one hand, and Central America on the other (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Agreement’). Pursuant to Decision 2012/734/EU, the Agreement is to be applied on a provisional basis, pending the completion of the procedures for its conclusion.
(2) Annex II to the Agreement concerns the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation. For a number of products, Appendix 2A to that Annex provides for the possibility of derogations from the rules of origin set out in Appendix 2 to Annex II in the framework of annual quotas. As the Union has decided to use that possibility, it is necessary to provide the conditions for the application of those derogations for imports from Honduras.
(3) The quotas set out in Appendix 2A to Annex II should be managed on a first-come, first-served basis in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (2).
(4) Entitlement to benefit from the tariff concessions should be subject to the presentation of the relevant proof of origin to the customs authorities, as provided for in the Agreement.
(5) Since the Agreement applies on a provisional basis as of 1 August 2013, this Regulation should apply from the same date.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
1. The rules of origin set out in Appendix 2A to Annex II to the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Union and its Member States, on the one hand, and Central America on the other (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Agreement’), shall apply to the products listed in the Annex to this Regulation.
2. The rules of origin referred to in paragraph 1 shall apply by derogation from the rules of origin set out in Appendix 2 to Annex II to the Agreement, within the quotas set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

DIRECTIVE 2005/69/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 16 November 2005
amending for the 27th time Council Directive 76/769/EEC on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in extender oils and tyres)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),
Whereas:
(1) Tyres are produced by using extender oils that may contain various levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that are not added intentionally. During the production process PAHs can be incorporated into the rubber matrix. Therefore, they can be present in various amounts in the final product.
(2) Benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) can be a qualitative and quantitative marker for the presence of PAHs. BaP and other PAHs have been classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic and toxic to reproduction. In addition, due to the presence of these PAHs, several extender oils as such have been classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic and toxic to reproduction.
(3) The Scientific Committee on Toxicity, Ecotoxicity and the Environment (CSTEE) has confirmed the scientific findings which identify the adverse health effects of PAHs.
(4) The emission of BaP and other PAHs into the environment should be reduced as much as possible. In order to provide a high level of protection to human health and the environment and to contribute to the reduction of total annual emissions of PAHs as required in the 1998 Protocol to the 1979 Convention on Long Range Transboundary Air Pollution on Persistent Organic Pollutants, it therefore appears necessary to restrict the placing on the market and the use of PAH-rich extender oils and blends used as extender oils for the production of tyres.
(5) Council Directive 76/769/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations (3) should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) Without prejudice to the requirements of other European provisions, this Directive covers passenger car tyres (4), light and heavy truck tyres (5), agricultural tyres (6) and motorcycle tyres (7).
(7) In order to meet the necessary safety requirements and in particular to ensure that tyres have a high degree of wet grip performance, a transitory period is necessary during which tyre producers will develop and test new types of tyres produced without high aromatic extender oils. According to the information at present available, the development and testing work will take a considerable amount of time, as producers will have to perform numerous series of test runs before the necessary high level of wet grip performance of the new tyres can be guaranteed. Therefore, this Directive should be applied to economic operators from 1 January 2010.
(8) The adoption of harmonised test methods is necessary for the application of this Directive as regards the content of PAHs in extender oils and tyres. The adoption of such test methods should not delay the entry into force of this Directive. The test method should preferably be developed at European or international level, where appropriate by the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) or by the International Organisation for Standardization (ISO). The Commission may publish references to the relevant CEN or ISO standards or establish such methods in accordance with Article 2a of Directive 76/769/EEC, where necessary.
(9) This Directive does not affect the Community legislation laying down minimum requirements for the protection of workers, such as Council Directive 89/391/EEC of 12 June 1989 on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work (8), and individual directives based thereon, in particular Directive 2004/37/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to carcinogens or mutagens at work (sixth individual Directive within the meaning of Article 16(1) of Council Directive 89/391/EEC) (9) and Council Directive 98/24/EC of 7 April 1998 on the protection of the health and safety of workers from the risks related to chemical agents at work (14th individual Directive within the meaning of Article 16(1) of Directive 89/391/EEC) (10).
(10) It is not the purpose of this Directive to restrict the placing on the market, as defined in Article 2(1)(e) of Council Directive 67/548/EEC of 27 June 1967 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances (11), of tyres produced before 1 January 2010 and which can thus be sold off from stocks subsequent to this date. The date of production of tyres can be easily recognised by the existing mandatory marking of the ‘date of manufacture’ on the tyre as stipulated in Directive 92/23/EEC. All tyres retreaded after 1 January 2010 should be retreaded with new tread containing new PAH-low extender oils,
Annex I to Directive 76/769/EEC is hereby amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
Member States shall adopt and publish the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 29 December 2006. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
They shall apply those measures from 1 January 2010.
When Member States adopt these measures, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of making such reference shall be laid down by Member States.
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 of 13 September 1999 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), and in particular Articles 2(3), 3(4) and 4(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(2),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(3),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(4),
Whereas:
(1) When sugar prices are fixed, account should be taken of the objectives of the common agricultural policy. The common agricultural policy seeks in particular to ensure a fair standard of living for the agricultural community, to assure the availability of supplies and to ensure that they reach consumers at reasonable prices.
(2) In order to attain those objectives, the target price for sugar must be fixed at a level which, having regard in particular to the resultant level of the intervention price, ensures a fair remuneration for beet and sugar cane producers while at the same time respecting the consumers' interests and which is likely to maintain the balance between the prices of the principal agricultural products.
(3) Given the characteristics of the sugar market, marketing involves relatively slight risks only. Consequently, when the intervention price for sugar is fixed, the difference between the target price and the intervention price can be set relatively low.
(4) The basic price for beet must take account of the intervention price, of undertakings' revenue from the sale of molasses, which can be valued at EUR 7,61/100 kg, that amount being derived from the price of molasses referred to in Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999, that price being valued at EUR 8,21/100 kg, and of the costs of processing and delivering the beet to factories and be based on an estimated Community yield of 130 kg of white sugar per tonne of beet with a 16 % sugar content,
1. The target price for white sugar shall be EUR 66,50/100 kg.
2. The intervention price for white sugar shall be EUR 63,19/100 kg for the non-deficit areas of the Community.
The basic price for beet applicable in the Community shall be EUR 47,67/t delivered to the collection centre.
Standard quality beet shall:
(a) be of sound and fair merchantable quality;
(b) have a sugar content of 16 % at the reception point.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply for the 2000/2001 marketing year.

Whereas Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 3832/90 provides that preferential tariff treatment shall be accorded for 1992 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;
Whereas Article 11 of the abovementioned Regulation provides that the levying of customs duties may be re-established at any time in respect of imports of the products in question once the relevant individual ceilings have been reached at Community level;
Whereas, in respect of products of category No 20 (order No 40.0200), originating in Malaysia, the relevant ceiling amounts to 232 tonnes;
Whereas on 18 August 1992 imports of the products in question into the Community, originating in Malaysia, a country covered by preferential tariff arrangements, reached and were charged against that ceiling;
Whereas it is appropriate to re-establish the levying of customs duties for the products in question with regard to Malaysia,
As from 2 November 1992 the levying of customs duties, suspended pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 3832/90, shall be re-established in respect of the following products, imported into the Community and originating in Malaysia:

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2076/2002(3) contains provisions for the non-inclusion of certain active substances in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC and for the withdrawal by Member States of all authorisations for plant-protection products containing such active substances. For uses for which additional technical evidence had been provided demonstrating the essential need for further use of the active substance and the absence of an efficient alternative, temporary measures were provided to enable the development of alternatives.
(2) Member States have presented new evidence demonstrating the need for further essential uses. Such information has been evaluated by the Commission with Member State experts. Derogations should be given only for cases which appear justified and which do not give rise to concern and should be restricted to the control of harmful organisms for which no efficient alternatives exist.
(3) Certain active substances are covered both by the third and fourth stage of the programme of work because of their chemical relation or because of their specific use. In order to avoid inconsistencies, the necessary adaptations should be made to Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 2076/2002.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 2076/2002 should therefore be amended accordingly.

| COMMISSION DECISION of 8 December 1977 concerning an investigation to be made at the Vereinigung deutscher Freiformschmieden, D端sseldorf, pursuant to Article 14 (3) of Council Regulation No 17 (Case IV AF 356) (Only the German text is authentic) (78/24/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 85 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 17 of 6 February 1962 (1), and in particular Article 14 (3) thereof,
Having consulted the Federal Cartel Office, Berlin, being the competent authority for the purpose of Article 14 (4) of Regulation No 17,
Whereas:
There are sufficient grounds for suspecting that agreements for the maintenance of local prices and for restricting interpenetration are being applied on the common market for heavy forgings weighing over four tonnes. Such agreements and restrictions are contrary to Article 85 of the EEC Treaty, as is the contract-sharing which is also suspected.
In order to ascertain the facts the Director-General for Competition gave orders on 14 January 1977 that investigations should be made at several undertakings and associations of undertakings pursuant to Article 14 of Regulation No 17.
The checks which were due to be carried out on 18 January 1977 at the Vereinigung deutscher Freiformschmieden (hereinafter called "the Union"), in the presence of a representative of the competent German authorities, could not be carried out because the Union refused to submit to the investigation unless they were authorized by a Decision of the Commission of the European Communities.
A Decision must therefore be adopted requiring the Union to submit to the investigation and in particular to allow the requisite business records to be examined.
Articles 15 (1) (c) and 16 (1) (d) of Regulation No 17, the full texts of which are annexed to this Decision, empower the Commission by decision to take action against undertakings by: (a) imposing fines where undertakings intentionally or negligently produce the required books or other business records in incomplete form during investigations under Article 14, or refuse to submit to an investigation ordered by decision pursuant to Article 14 (3);
(b) imposing periodic penalty payments calculated daily from the day appointed by the Decision, in order to compel them to submit to an investigation which it has ordered by decision pursuant to Article 14 (3),
(1) The Vereinigung deutscher Freiformschmieden is hereby required to allow an investigation to be made in its business premises in D端sseldorf. In particular, it is required to allow the Commission's officials authorized for the purpose of this investigation to enter its premises during normal office hours and to produce the requisite business records for examination by those officials.
2. In particular it shall produce all records of the Union: (a) concerning its relations with other associations of undertakings in the Community;
(b) of meetings with member companies and meetings of working groups and sales management personnel;
(c) concerning the joint office in Zurich, including details of any payments made to that office.
The investigation shall be carried out in the business premises of the Union in D端sseldorf and shall begin on 13 December 1977. (1)OJ No 13, 21.2.1962, p. 204/62.
This Decision is addressed to the Vereinigung deutscher Freiformschmieden, D端sseldorf. It shall be notified by being handed over personally to a representative of the Union by the Commission's officials authorized for the purpose of the investigation immediately before the investigation is to begin.
Proceedings against this Decision may be instituted in the Court of Justice of the European Communities in Luxembourg in accordance with Article 173 of the EEC Treaty. Pursuant to Article 185 of the EEC Treaty, such proceedings shall not have suspensory effect. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas:
(1) Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1148/2001 of 12 June 2001 on checks on conformity to the marketing standards applicable to fresh fruit and vegetables (2) lays down the conditions for the approval of checking operations performed by certain third countries which so request prior to import into the Community.
(2) The Turkish authorities sent the Commission a request for the approval of checking operations performed under the responsibility of the General Directorate of Standardisation for Foreign Trade. This request states that the aforementioned inspection bodies have the necessary staff, equipment and facilities to carry out checks, that they use methods equivalent to those referred to in Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1148/2001 and that the fresh fruit and vegetables exported from Turkey to the Community meet the Community marketing standards.
(3) The information sent by the Member States to the Commission shows that, in the period 2001 to 2005, the incidence of non-conformity with marketing standards among imports from Turkey of fresh fruit and vegetables was low.
(4) Checks on conformity carried out by Turkey should therefore be approved with effect from the date of implementation of the administrative cooperation procedure provided for in Article 7(8) of Regulation (EC) No 1148/2001.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
Checks on conformity to the marketing standards applicable to fresh fruit and vegetables carried out by Turkey prior to import into the Community are hereby approved in accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1148/2001.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 10/81 of 1 January 1981 fixing, in respect of fruit and vegetables, the general rules for implementing the 1979 Act of Accession (1), and in particular Article 9 (1) thereof,
Whereas Article 75 of the Act of Accession introduces a compensatory mechanism on import into 'the Community of Nine' for fruit and vegetables coming from Greece for which an institutional price is fixed;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 75 (2) (a) of the Act of Accession, a Community offer price is to be calculated annually, on the one hand, on the basis of the arithmetical average of producer prices of each Member State of 'the Community of Nine', increased by the transport and packaging costs borne by the products from the areas of production up to the representative centres of Community consumption and, on the other hand, taking into account the trend of production costs in the fruit and vegetables sector; whereas the said producer prices are to correspond to an average of the price quotations recorded over three years prior to fixing the Community offer price; whereas, however, the annual Community offer price may not exceed the level of the reference price applied vis-Ă -vis third countries;
Whereas, in order to take account of seasonal price variations, the marketing year should be split into several periods and a Community offer price fixed for each such period;
Whereas, by virtue of Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 10/81, the rates used to calculate production prices are those recorded for an indigenous product whose trade characteristics are defined, on the representative market or markets within the production zones where the rates are lowest, for the products or varieties which represent a substantial proportion of marketable production throughout the year or during a part of the year and which correspond to quality category I and to set conditions in respect of packaging; whereas the average rate for each representative market is to be drawn up disregarding rates which may be considered excessively high or low compared with the normal fluctuations recorded on the said market;
Whereas application of the abovementioned criteria results in fixing the Community offer prices for lemons for the period 1 June 1984 to 31 May 1985 at the levels set out hereinafter;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
For the 1984/85 marketing year, the Community offer price for fresh lemons falling within subheading 08.02 C of the Common Customs Tariff, expressed in ECU per 100 kilograms net, is hereby fixed as follows, for products of quality category I, graded according to size and packed:

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),
Having regard to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 of 7 June 2011 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 in respect of the fruit and vegetables and processed fruit and vegetables sectors (2), and in particular Article 136(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 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 Annex XVI, Part A thereto.
(2) The standard import value is calculated each working day, in accordance with Article 136(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011, taking into account variable daily data. Therefore this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union,
The standard import values referred to in Article 136 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 are fixed in the Annex to this Regulation.

of 17 December 2013
amending Directives 2006/112/EC and 2008/118/EC as regards the French outermost regions and Mayotte in particular
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (2),
Acting in accordance with a special legislative procedure,
Whereas:
(1) By means of European Council Decision 2012/419/EU (3), the European Council decided that, from 1 January 2014, the status of Mayotte will be that of an outermost region within the meaning of Article 349 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) instead of that of an overseas country or territory (OCT) within the meaning of Article 355(2) TFEU. Union tax provisions will apply to Mayotte after this amendment of status.
(2) As regards value added tax (VAT) and excise duties, Mayotte is in a situation similar to that of the other French outermost regions (Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique, Réunion and Saint-Martin), which fall outside the territorial scope of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (4) and Council Directive 2008/118/EC (5), and should therefore be excluded from the territorial scope of those Directives as from the date its status is amended under the TFEU. The relevant provisions of Directive 2006/112/EC and Directive 2008/118/EC should consequently be adapted and their application to the French overseas territories at the same time be clarified.
(3) In order to make it clear that Mayotte and the other French outermost regions are excluded from the scope of Directives 2006/112/EC and 2008/118/EC regardless of any change in their status under French law, reference should be made in those Directives to Article 349 and Article 355(1) TFEU in respect of those regions.
(4) Directives 2006/112/EC and 2008/118/EC should therefore be amended accordingly,
Point (c) of Article 6(1) of Directive 2006/112/EC is replaced by the following:
‘(c) the French territories referred to in Article 349 and Article 355(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union;’.
Article 5 of Directive 2008/118/EC is hereby amended as follows:
(1) Point (b) of paragraph (2) is replaced by the following:
‘(b) the French territories referred to in Article 349 and Article 355(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union;’.
(2) Paragraph (5) is replaced by the following:
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive with effect from 1 January 2014. They shall communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions before 1 January 2015.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of making such reference shall be laid down by Member States.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
This Directive shall enter into force on 1 January 2014.

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2967/93 of 25 October 1993 prohibiting the supply of certain goods to Unita
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Whereas the United Nations Security Council, acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations, adopted resolution 864 (1993) on 15 September 1993 concerning the measures all States have to take with regard to trade with Angola in order to obtain compliance by Unita with previous demands made by the Council and to implement the 'Acordos de Paz';
Whereas the Security Council has also called upon the United Nations Member States to apply these measures notwithstanding the existence of any rights or obligations conferred or imposed by any international agreement signed, any contract entered into or any licence or permit granted before the date of adoption of the said resolution; whereas, therefore, the fourth ACP-EEC Convention signed in LomĂŠ on 15 December 1989, to which the Community and Angola are parties, does not pose an obstacle to the application of the said Security Council measures;
Whereas the Community and its Member States, meeting within the framework of political cooperation, have expressed their strong support for these measures;
Whereas, under these conditions, it is appropriate for the Community to carry out the said Security Council resolution in its field of trade;
Whereas, pursuant to the said resolution, the measures decided upon are applied by the Member States of the United Nations on the basis of notification, by the Secretary-General of the United Nations, of the points of entry of the territory of Angola which are not affected by the said measures, as communicated to him by the Government of Angola; whereas such notification reached the Community on 7 October 1993;
Whereas the Community and its Member States have agreed to have recourse to a Community instrument in order to ensure, inter alia, uniform application of these measures throughout the Community;
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
1. As from 7 October 1993 the following shall be prohibited:
- the sale or supply of the petroleum and petroleum products listed in Annex I, whether or not originating in the Community, in the territory of Angola through points of entry other than those referred to in Annex II,
- any activity the object or effect of which is, directly or indirectly, to promote the transactions referred to in the first indent.
2. The Commission is hereby empowered to amend the list which appears in Annex II on the basis of the corresponding notifications given by the Secretary-General of the United Nations. Such amendments shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
The sale or supply to Angola of the petroleum and petroleum products listed in Annex I which is not prohibited pursuant to Article 1 shall be subject to prior authorization to be issued by the competent authorities of the Member States.
This Regulation shall apply notwithstanding any rights conferred or obligations imposed by any international agreement signed or any contract entered into or any licence or permit granted before the entry into force of the Regulation.
Each Member State shall determine the sanctions to be imposed where this Regulation is infringed.
This Regulation shall apply to the territories of the Member States to which the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community is applicable and under the conditions laid down in that Treaty, including their air space, and on board any aircraft or vessel under the jurisdiction of a Member State, and, elsewhere, to any national of a Member State and to any body incorporated or constituted under the law of a Member State outside the aforementioned territories.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

of 28 April 1986
suspending the application of part of the monetary compensatory amounts applicable in the pigmeat and eggs and poultry sectors
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 103 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, following the recent realignment of currencies within the European Monetary System, negative monetary compensatory amounts were introduced or increased, particularly in the pigmeat and eggs and poultry sectors; whereas it appears necessary to consider a short-term amendment of the agri-monetary arrangements applicable in these sectors;
Whereas the Commission has stated its intention of shortly proposing the appropriate measures under the common agricultural policy, so as to take better account of the characteristics of production in these sectors; whereas, pending a Council Decision on this proposal and in view of the time required for implementing the procedure provided for in Article 43 of the Treaty, it is appropriate to avoid any risk of disturbance of trade arising from the prospect of successive adjustments in the near future of the MCAs concerned in highly sensitive markets, which could undermine the operation of the common organization; whereas an interim measure should therefore be taken to suspend part of the MCAs applicable in these sectors,
For products in the pigmeat and eggs and poultry sectors, the application of that part of the negative monetary compensatory amounts introduced following the realignment of currencies on 6 April 1986 shall be suspended.
The monetary compensatory amounts shall be fixed in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 1677/75, taking account of this suspension.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply until 1 June 1986.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament(2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(3),
Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999(4) fixes maximum rates of assistance from the Financial Instrument for Fisheries Guidance (FIFG) in accordance with the ceilings laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds(5).
(2) However, the limits which apply to the FIFG remain below the special provisions laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 for certain categories of Objective 1 regions. The limits applicable to the FIFG should therefore be adjusted according to the specific difficulties of each of these categories of region. With regard to the outermost regions in particular, it is necessary to take into account the factors indicated in Article 299(2) of the Treaty as these could be very damaging to their development.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999 should therefore be amended.
(4) Pursuant to Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, each plan, Community support framework, operational programme and single programming document shall cover a period of seven years, and the programming period shall begin on 1 January 2000. In the interests of cohesiveness and to avoid discrimination between beneficiaries of the same programme, the derogations provided for in this Regulation must, exceptionally, be applicable to the whole programming period,
Table 3 of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999 shall be replaced by the following table:
"TABLE 3
>TABLE>
In the case of investment in small and medium-sized businesses within the meaning of Commission Recommendation 96/280/EC(6) the (A) rates for groups 2 and 3 may be increased by an amount for forms of finance other than direct assistance, provided that this increase does not exceed 10 % of the total eligible cost. The contribution of the private beneficiary shall be reduced accordingly.
A summary description of the derogations provided for under the first subparagraph shall be included in the operational programmes or single programming documents for the areas concerned referred to in Articles 18 and 19 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1787/84 of 19 June 1984 on the European Regional Development Fund (1), and in particular Article 13 (1) thereof,
Whereas the Italian Government submitted on 29 April 1987 the intervention programme provided for in Article 8 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3300/86 of 27 October 1986 instituting a Community programme for the development of certain less-favoured regions of the Community by improving access to advanced telecommunications services (STAR programme) (2);
Whereas the Member State has requested a financial contribution from the European Regional Development Fund in favour of the intervention programme;
Whereas all the conditions set out in Regulations (EEC) No 1787/84 and (EEC) No 3300/86 enabling the Commission to approve the intervention programme and to grant the assistance requested from the Fund are met;
Whereas the programme is the subject of an agreement between the Italian Republic and the Commission and may therefore be approved by the latter under the terms of Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1787/84 so as to constitute the programme agreement within the meaning of the aforesaid Article 13 (1);
Whereas this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Fund Committee,
The intervention programme to implement in Italy the Community programme for the development of certain less-favoured areas of the Community by improving access to advanced telecommunications services (STAR programme), as agreed between the Italian Republic and the Commission of the European Communities, is approved and constitutes the programme agreement within the meaning of Article 13 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1787/84.
The intervention programme will remain valid until 31 October 1991.
The amount of ERDF aid in favour of the aforesaid intervention programme shall not exceed 250 million ECU. The contribution by the Fund shall not exceed 55 % of all public expenditure taken into account in the programme.
The amounts of ERDF aid granted towards the various operations included in the programme are set out in the financial plan.
Budgetary commitments to this programme shall be effected, within the budgetary limits, in annual instalments in line with the financial plan and with progress made in implementing the programme.
Failure to observe any of the conditions stated in this Decision or in the Community programme will entitle the Commission to reduce or to cancel aid granted under this Decision. In that event, the Commission may require full or partial repayment of aid already paid to the beneficiary. Reductions or cancellations of aid may not be made without giving an opportunity to the beneficiary to submit its observations, within a time limit fixed by the Commission for this purpose.

Whereas:
(1) The active substances dicamba, difenoconazole and imazaquin were included in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC (2) by Commission Directive 2008/69/EC (3) in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 11b of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002 of 14 August 2002 laying down further detailed rules for the implementation of the third stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC and amending Regulation (EC) No 451/2000 (4).

(4) It is confirmed that the active substances dicamba, difenoconazole and imazaquin are to be deemed to have been approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
(5) In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is necessary to amend the conditions of approval of dicamba, difenoconazole and imazaquin.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1395/2005
of 25 August 2005
fixing the export refunds on syrups and certain other sugar products exported in the natural state
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector (2), provides that the export refund on 100 kilograms of the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 is equal to the basic amount multiplied by the sucrose content, including, where appropriate, other sugars expressed as sucrose; the sucrose content of the product in question is determined in accordance with Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95.
(3) Article 30(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the basic amount of the refund on sorbose exported in the natural state must be equal to the basic amount of the refund less one hundredth of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards granting the production refund on certain sugar products used in the chemical industry (3), to the products listed in the Annex to the last mentioned Regulation.
(4) According to the terms of Article 30(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, the basic amount of the refund on the other products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of the said Regulation exported in the natural state must be equal to one-hundredth of an amount which takes account, on the one hand, of the difference between the intervention price for white sugar for the Community areas without deficit for the month for which the basic amount is fixed and quotations or prices for white sugar on the world market and, on the other, of the need to establish a balance between the use of Community basic products in the manufacture of processed goods for export to third countries and the use of third country products brought in under inward-processing arrangements.
(5) According to the terms of Article 30(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, the application of the basic amount may be limited to some of the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of the said Regulation.
(6) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 makes provision for setting refunds for export in the natural state of products referred to in Article 1(1)(f) and (g) and (h) of that Regulation; the refund must be fixed per 100 kilograms of dry matter, taking account of the export refund for products falling within CN code 1702 30 91 and for products referred to in Article 1(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 and of the economic aspects of the intended exports; in the case of the products referred to in the said Article (1)(f) and (g), the refund is to be granted only for products complying with the conditions in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2135/95; for the products referred to in Article 1(1)(h), the refund shall be granted only for products complying with the conditions in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2135/95.
(7) The abovementioned refunds must be fixed every month; they may be altered in the intervening period.
(8) The first subparagraph of Article 27(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that refunds on the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation may vary according to destination, where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(9) The significant and rapid increase in preferential imports of sugar from the western Balkan countries since the start of 2001 and in exports of sugar to those countries from the Community seems to be highly artificial in nature.
(10) In order to prevent any abuses associated with the reimportation into the Community of sugar sector products that have qualified for export refunds, refunds for the products covered by this Regulation should not be fixed for all the countries of the western Balkans.
(11) In view of the above, refunds for the products in question should be fixed at the appropriate amounts.
(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(d), (f), (g) and (h) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, exported in the natural state, shall be set out in the Annex hereto to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 26 August 2005.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 789/2001 of 24 April 2001 reserving to the Council implementing powers with regard to certain detailed provisions and practical procedures for examining visa applications(1),
Having regard to the initiative of the Kingdom of Belgium,
Whereas:
(1) Harmonisation of visa policy entails in particular that the Schengen acquis should lay down rules concerning the procedures and conditions for issuing visas. It seems logical that the visa application form, which initiates the procedure for handling visa applications and also serves as the medium for verifying conditions for such handling, should take the form of a uniform document used by all the consular services of the Member States.
(2) In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of the Protocol on the position of Denmark annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Denmark is not participating in the adoption of this Decision, and is not therefore bound by it or subject to its application. Given that this Decision aims to build upon the Schengen acquis under the provisions of Title IV of the Third Part of the Treaty establishing the European Community, Denmark will, in accordance with Article 5 of the said Protocol, decide within a period of six months after the Council has adopted this Decision whether it will transpose it into its national law.
(3) As regards the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway, this Decision constitutes a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis falling within the area referred to in Article 1, point B, of Council Decision 1999/437/EC of 17 May 1999 on certain arrangements for the application of the Agreement concluded by the Council of the European Union and the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway concerning the association of those two States with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis(2).
(4) In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of the Protocol on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Ireland and the United Kingdom are not participating in the adoption of this Decision and are not therefore bound by it or subject to its application,
The following sentence shall be added after the first sentence of Section 1 of Part III of the Common Consular Instructions (CCI): "Applications for a uniform visa must be made using the harmonised form of which a specimen is given in Annex 16."
The specimen harmonised uniform-visa application form annexed to this Decision shall become Annex 16 to the CCI.
This Decision shall apply as from 1 January 2003.

Whereas:
(1) The conditions for the taking over of paddy rice by the intervention agencies are laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 708/98(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 691/1999(4). Article 2 of that Regulation lays down the conditions under which rice may be accepted for intervention and Article 3 lays down the criteria for applying price increases and reductions, in particular as regards the yield after processing.
(2) Experience in recent marketing years has shown that yields after processing of rice offered for intervention are generally above the basic yields listed in Part B of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 708/98.
(3) In order to strengthen the role of intervention as a safety net and to encourage the production of high-quality rice, the intervention criteria should be tightened up.
(4) Adjustment of the yields after processing listed in Part B of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 708/98, together with a reduction in the current price increases and a reduction in the tolerances for divergence from the basic yield, would appear to be the most effective ways of promoting the production of high-quality rice and, at the same time, ensuring the high quality of rice stored by the intervention agencies.

| COMMISSION DECISION of 14 December 1992 authorizing a joint-selling and specialization agreement for beams beween Empresa Nacional Siderúrgica SA and the Aristrain group (Only the Spanish text is authentic)
(93/118/ECSC)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular Article 65 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the application made on 14 July 1992 for authorization to implement a joint-selling and specialization agreement in respect of beams,
Whereas:
I. THE PARTIES (1) José María Aristrain-Madrid, SA and José María Aristrain, SA (hereinafter referred to jointly as the Aristrain group) are two firms wholly owned by the Aristrain family. They are chiefly engaged in the production of ECSC products.
(2) In 1991 the Aristrain group achieved a worldwide turnover of some ECU [ . . . ] (1) million.
(3) In addition to the two firms mentioned above, the Aristrain family controls Altos Hornos de Bergara SA and Rico y Echevarría SA, two manufacturers of steel products, as well as distribution companies throughout the Community.
(4) Empresa Nacional Siderúrgica SA (Ensidesa) is controlled by the Corporación de la Siderurgia Integral (CSI). Ensidesa is essentially engaged in the production and distribution of ECSC products. In addition to Ensidesa, CSI controls Altos Hornos de Vizcaya SA, Siderurgia del Mediterráneo SA and Galvanizaciones del Mediterráneo SA, which manufacture steel products, as well as other processing and distribution companies in the Community.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSACTION (5) The Aristrain group and Ensidesa propose to cooperate in the sale (joint-selling) of beams of over 140 mm. The cooperation involves the setting-up of a joint venture.
(6) The agreement is the result of the parties' plan to rationalize their beam-production activities and could, in the future, cover other products currently manufactured by both parties.
(7) The transaction in question will be followed by other stages involving the pooling and definitive integration of the industrial and commercial resources relating to the products concerned and possibly to other products. The purpose of the joint venture is to implement the specialization and joint-selling agreement for beams. Aristrain will appoint the person responsible for managing the joint venture.
(8) The joint venture will have the following functions: it will be responsible for the exclusive marketing of all the products covered by the agreement and manufactured by the two parties; it will centralize orders and see to the programming of production, stocks and distribution.
(9) In addition to joint selling, the agreement also provides for specialization of the plants so that the so-called 'small' range will be produced at Olaberría and Bergara (Aristrain group), the 'medium' range at Madrid (Aristrain group), the 'medium-top' range at Madrid or Gijón (Ensidesa), depending on the geographical proximity of the customer, and the 'top' range at Gijón.
The agreement provides for studies on the following subjects in the beams sector:
- market and price forecasts,
- distribution costs and analysis of commercial networks,
- production costs per plant,
- rationalization and industrial integration,
- investment plans of each party and the possibility of drawing up a common strategic plan,
- evaluation of plants and goodwill.
III. RESULT OF THE TRANSACTION (10) Initially, the enterprise controlled jointly by the Aristrain group and Ensidesa will simply provide the practical framework for implementing the joint-selling agreement, which will be accompanied by joint programming of production. The resulting industrial integration and concentration of the two firms' production of beams will depend on the success of the business cooperation and on the results of the studies carried out by both firms. The setting-up of the joint venture is therefore a transitional, secondary measure and will need to be examined under Article 66 only if the objectives of the agreement are achieved. The joint-selling and specialization agreement for beams must be examined under Article 65 of the ECSC Treaty.
IV. THE RELEVANT MARKET (11) Although the two firms are engaged in manufacturing only in Spain, they sell most of their production in the Community. Certain Member States consume the products in question but do not produce them. The relevant geographical market is therefore the Community, as evidenced in particular by the intra-Community trade in beams. Community firms delivered some 6,2 million tonnes of beams in the Community in 1991, of which over 43 % were delivered outside the Member State in which they were produced. It should also be noted that deliveries outside the Community totalled 1,9 million tonnes in 1991, equivalent to 23,2 % of total deliveries by Community firms.
(12) Although the sections concerned by the joint-selling agreement are over 140 mm in height, the specialization will affect the production of smaller beams as Ensidesa will stop producing them ant the mill which the Aristrain group plans to close down produces this type of beam. The relevant product market is therefore the market for beams, whichare used almost exclusively in the building industry.
(13) The Ensidesa mill also produces rails and other railway-track material; although the agreement does not directly concern these products, it will affect them if only because of the rationalization of production at the different plants. However, in view of the small quantity of such products manufactured by Ensidesa (some [ . . . ] tonnes in 1991, or [ . . . ] % of the Community total), the slights variations in production that improved plant utilization could entail and the fact that these products form a separate market (as regards use, customers, prices, marketing outlets, etc.), it is unlikely that competition will be affected. The Aristrain group does not produce rails.
V. MARKET SHARES (14) In 1991 Ensidesa and the Aristrain group produced [ . . . ] tonnes ([ . . . ] % of Community production) of beams respectively. Sales by both groups in the Community accounted for 14,5 % of apparent consumption in the Community.
(15) The agreement in question thus relates to a total production of 1 173 000 tonnes, or 14,3 % of Community output.
(16) Imports of beams into the Community in 1991 were 536 000 tonnes, accounting for 8,0 % of apparent Community consumption.
VI. APPLICATION OF ARTICLE 65 OF THE ECSC TREATY (17) Ensidesa and the Aristrain group produce and distribute ECSC products and constitute undertakings within the meaning of Article 80 of the ECSC Treaty.
(18) The joint-selling and specialization agreement for beams restricts normal competition between the Aristrain group and Ensidesa since the two parties:
(a) agree to coordinate their pricing policies and to give exclusive sales rights to a jointly owned subsidiary;
(b) agree to programme their production jointly;
(c) will mutually cease manufacturing certain types of beam which will be manufactured by the order party to the agreement.
Under such conditions, the agreement is caught by the prohibition in principle set out in Article 65 (1) of the ECSC Treaty.
(19) Article 65 (2), however, empowers the Commission to authorize joint-selling and specialization agreements or agreements that are strictly analogous in nature and effect if it is satisfied that they meet the requirements of that Article.
(20) The agreement to which this Decision relates is a joint-selling and specialization agreement or strictly analogous thereto.
(21) The agreement may therefore be authorized under Article 65 (2), but only if it:
- makes for a substantial improvement in the production or distribution of the products in question,
- is essential in order to achieve these results and is not more restrictive than is necessary for that purpose, and
- is not liable to give the undertakings concerned the power to determine the prices, or to control or restrict the production or marketing, of a substantial part of the products in question within the common market, or to shield them against effective competition from other undertakings within the common market.
(22) On the question of whether the agreement makes for a substantial improvement in the production or distribution of the products in question, it is fair to say that, generally speaking, rationalizing production and marketing will greatly improve plant utilization and efficiency, cut production and transport costs, introduce qualitative improvements and reduce delivery times, with benefits both to the contracting parties and to consumers.
(23) Rationalization, by specifically allocating sections to the various mills concerned, will in itself reduce current average costs by some [ . . . ] %. The two groups produced some 1,2 million tonnes of beams in 1991 at five mills spread over four production sites. As a result, 86 % of the sections sold by the Aristrain group and Ensidesa are currently produced by the two firms.
(24) Ensidesa has already closed down one rolling mill; the Aristrain group plans to shut down the [ . . . ]. The immediate effect of these closures is and will be to increase the utilization rate of the parties' other plants.
(25) Rationalization will at the same time enable product quality to be improved by allowing the plants to operate on a more regular basis. The amount of idle time due to roll changes will be reduced.
(26) Transport costs will be reduced by choosing the most appropriate production site in relation to delivery point. The cut will represent over one third of the expected gain from rationalization. Rationalization of the commercial networks forms part of such a policy.
(27) The scale effect resulting from joint selling will also enable stock levels and related costs to be reduced.
(28) The foregoing examples thus show that the agreement submitted for authorization will make for a substantial improvement in the production and distribution of the products concerned and that it therefore satisfies the tests of Article 65 (2) (a) of the ECSC Treaty.
(29) Joint selling, joint programming of production, specialization of the rolling mills, the transfer of production and the studies to be carried out with a view to concentrating the 'beam' activities of the parties are interdependent and connected. Operating in isolation, the firms concerned could not obtain the production and distribution improvements or, in any event, the same level of improvement. The agreement in question is therefore essential to achieving the desired improvement in production and distribution and is not more restrictive than is necessary for that purpose. As a result, it meets the criteria of Article 65 (2) (b) of the ECSC Treaty.
(30) In order to determine whether an agreement for which authorization is requested satisfies the requirements of Article 65 (2) (c), it is necessary to consider the size of the firms concerned and the extent of the competition facing them.
(31) It would seem that the Aristrain group ([ . . . ] %) and Ensidesa ([ . . . ] %) jointly account for 14,3 % of Community production and rank third among Community producers. The nine leading groups of producers (including Aristrain and Ensidesa) account for 84,6 % of Community production.
(32) It can therefore be concluded that, whilst the agreement between the Aristrain group and Ensidesa gives them an important position in the Community with regard to the products in question, the other producers in the sector, together with imports which currently account for some 8,6 % of apparent consumption, will ensure the maintenance of effective competition.
(33) Accordingly, the Agreement is not liable to give the firms concerned the power to determine the prices, or to control or restrict the production or marketing, of a substantial part of the products in question within the common market, or to shield them against effective competition from other undertakings within the common market. The agreement therefore satisfies the tests of Article 65 (2) (c) of the ECSC Treaty.
(34) The operation will be of benefit only if it results in the necessary restructuring and modernization measures and if it is accompanied by the appropriate investments. It is only under these conditions that the restrictions can be exceptionally authorized.
(35) The parties must inform the Commission of any plans to amend or add to the agreement. It therefore needs to be stipulated that such amendments or additions to the agreement may not be implemented until the Commission has decided that they are admissible or has authorized them pursuant to Article 65 (2).
(36) By limiting the period of validity of the authorization, it must also be ensured that the parties concerned attain their objectives rapidly. In view of the process of industrial reorganization that Ensidesa is undergoing as part of the new industrial configuration of the integrated steel industry in Spain and given the complexity of the studies to be carried out, the authorization should be granted for a period ending on 31 December 1994.
(37) The agreement submitted for authorization complies with Article 65 (2) of the ECSC Treaty and may therefore be authorized,
The joint-selling and specialization agreement for beams between the Aristrain group and Ensidesa, which involves the setting-up of a company, is hereby authorized pursuant to Article 65.
The firms concerned shall notify the Commission of any plans to amend or add to the agreement.
Amendments or additions may not be implemented until the Commission has determined that they comply with the authorization granted in this Decision or has authorized them pursuant to Article 65 (2).
This Decision shall be applicable until 31 December 1994.

(Only the Bulgarian and Romanian texts are authentic)
(2007/208/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), and in particular Article 20 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Decision 90/424/EEC provides for Community financial contributions towards specific veterinary measures. It also provides for the Community to undertake or assist the Member States in undertaking the technical and scientific measures necessary for the development of veterinary legislation and for the development of veterinary education or training.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 November 2003 on the control of Salmonella and other specified food-borne zoonotic agents (2), provides that a Community target is to be established for reducing the prevalence of Salmonella in populations of flocks of turkeys by the end of 2007.
(3) In order to set the Community target, comparable data on the prevalence of Salmonella in populations of turkeys in Bulgaria and in Romania need to be available. Such information is presently not available and a special survey should therefore be carried out to monitor the prevalence of Salmonella in turkeys over a suitable period in those Member States.
(4) A baseline study on Salmonella in turkey is to be carried out by the other Member States between October 2006 and September 2007 in accordance with Commission Decision 2006/662/EC of 29 September 2006 concerning a financial contribution from the Community towards a baseline survey on the prevalence of Salmonella in turkeys to be carried out in the Member States (3). The same procedures should be used in the baseline studies in Bulgaria and in Romania. However, the period of the survey should be shortened in order to enable the analysis of the data of all Member States at the same time.
(5) The survey is to provide the technical information necessary for the development of Community veterinary legislation. Given the importance of collecting comparable data on the prevalence of Salmonella in turkeys in Bulgaria and in Romania, those Member States should be granted a Community financial contribution for implementing the specific requirements of the survey. It is therefore appropriate to reimburse 100 % of the costs incurred in the laboratory testing, subject to a ceiling. All other costs, such as those relating to sampling, travel and administration should not be eligible for any Community financial contribution.
(6) The financial contribution from the Community should be granted provided that the survey is carried out in accordance with Community law and subject to compliance with certain other specified conditions. The financial contribution should be granted in so far as the actions provided for are effectively carried out and provided that the authorities furnish all the necessary information within the time limits provided for.
(7) It is necessary to clarify the rate to be used for the conversion of payment applications submitted in national currencies as defined in Article 1(d) of Council Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 of 15 December 1998 establishing agrimonetary arrangements for the euro (4).
(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,
Subject matter and scope
1. A survey shall be carried out to assess the prevalence of Salmonella spp. in Bulgaria and in Romania in the following flocks of turkeys:
(a) flocks of fattening turkeys sampled within three weeks of the date of leaving the selected holding for slaughter;
(b) flocks of breeding turkeys within nine weeks before the date of depopulation of the flocks.
2. The survey on the Salmonella prevalence of the flocks referred to in paragraph 1 (the flocks) shall cover the period from 1 April 2007 to 30 September 2007.
3. For the purposes of this Decision, ‘the competent authority’ shall be the authority or authorities of a Member State as designated under Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003.
Sampling frame
1. The sampling for the purpose of the survey shall be carried out on holdings containing at least 500 fattening turkeys or 250 breeding turkeys. On each selected holding of fattening turkeys, one flock of the appropriate age shall be sampled.
However, if the calculated number of flocks to be sampled as set out in the technical specifications is higher than the number of holdings available with at least the number of turkeys specified in the first subparagraph, in order to achieve that calculated number of flocks, up to four flocks may be sampled on the same holding. Where possible those additional flocks from a single holding shall be from different turkey houses and samples taken in different months.
If the number of flocks to be sampled is still not sufficient, more than four flocks may be sampled on the same holding, larger holdings being focused on.
If the number of flocks to be sampled is still not sufficient, flocks may be sampled on holdings with fewer turkeys than specified in the first subparagraph.
2. Sampling shall be performed by the competent authority or under its supervision.
Detection of Salmonella spp. and serotyping of the relevant isolates
1. Detection of Salmonella spp and serotyping of the relevant isolates shall take place in national reference laboratories for Salmonella (NRL).
However, where a NRL does not have the capacity to perform all the analyses or if it is not the laboratory that performs detection routinely, the competent authorities may designate a limited number of other laboratories involved in official controls of Salmonella to perform the analyses.
Those laboratories shall have proven experience in using the required detection method, shall implement a quality-assurance system complying with ISO standard 17025, and shall be supervised by the NRL.
2. The detection of Salmonella spp. shall be performed in accordance with the method recommended by the Community reference laboratory for Salmonella.
3. Serotyping of the relevant isolates shall be performed according to the Kaufmann-White scheme.
Collection of data, assessment and reporting
1. The competent authority shall collect and assess the results achieved pursuant to Article 3 of this Decision on the basis of the sampling framework referred to in Article 2 thereof, and shall report all necessary aggregated data and its assessment thereof to the Commission.
The Commission shall forward those results together with the national aggregated data and assessments done by the Member States to the European Food Safety authority, which shall examine them.
2. The national aggregated data and results referred to in paragraph 1 shall be made available publicly in a form that ensures confidentiality.
Technical specifications
The tasks and activities referred to in Articles 2, 3 and 4 of this Decision shall be performed in conformity with the technical specifications SANCO/2083/2006 presented at the meeting of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health on 18 July 2006 as published on the Commission website http://europa.eu.int/comm/food/food/biosafety/salmonella/impl_reg_en.htm
Community financial contribution
1. A Community financial contribution shall be granted to Bulgaria and Romania for the costs incurred by them for laboratory testing, i.e. for the bacteriological detection of Salmonella spp. and the serotyping of the relevant isolates.
2. The maximum Community financial contribution shall be:
(a) EUR 20 per test for bacteriological detection of Salmonella spp.;
(b) EUR 30 per test for serotyping of the relevant isolates.
However, the Community financial contribution shall not exceed the amounts set out in Annex I.
Conditions for granting a Community financial contribution
1. The financial contribution provided for in Article 6 shall be granted to Bulgaria and to Romania provided that the survey is implemented in accordance with the relevant provisions of Community law, including the rules on competition and on the award of public contracts, and subject to compliance with the following conditions:
(a) the laws, regulations and administrative provisions required to implement the survey shall come into force by 1 April 2007 at the latest;
(b) a progress report covering the first three months of the survey shall be forwarded by 31 July 2007; the progress report should contain all information given in Chapter 6 Reporting of the technical specifications referred to in Article 5;
(c) a final report shall be forwarded by 31 October 2007 at the latest on the technical execution of the survey, together with supporting evidence for the costs incurred and the results attained during the period 1 April 2007 to 30 September 2007; the supporting documents concerning the costs incurred shall comprise at least the information set out in Annex II;
(d) the survey shall be implemented effectively.
2. An advance payment of 50 % of the total amount referred to in Annex I may be paid at the request of Bulgaria and of Romania.
3. Failure to comply with the time limits in provided for paragraph 1(c) shall entail a progressive reduction of the Community financial contribution to be paid, amounting to 25 % of the total amount by 15 November 2007, 50 % by 1 December 2007 and 100 % by 15 December 2007.
Conversion rate for expenditure
For reasons of administrative efficiency all expenditure presented for a financial contribution by the Community should be expressed in euro. In accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 1913/2006 of 20 December 2006 laying down detailed rules for the application of the agrimonetary system for the euro in agriculture and amending certain regulations (5), the conversion rate for expenditure in a currency other than the euro should be the rate most recently set by the European Central Bank prior to the first day of the month in which the application is submitted by the Member State concerned.
Application
This Decision shall apply from 1 April 2007.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the Common Fisheries Policy (1), and in particular Article 26(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to common fisheries policy (2), and in particular Article 21(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 43/2009 of 16 January 2009 fixing for 2009 the fishing opportunities and associated conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks applicable in Community waters and for Community vessels, in waters where catch limitations are required (3), lays down quotas for 2009.
(2) According to the information received by the Commission, catches of the stock referred to in the Annex to this Regulation by vessels flying the flag of or registered in the Member State referred to therein have exhausted the quota allocated for 2009.
(3) It is therefore necessary to prohibit fishing for that stock and its retention on board, transhipment and landing,

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 60 and 301 thereof,
Having regard to Common Position 2007/400/CFSP of 11 June 2007 terminating certain restrictive measures imposed against Liberia (1),
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Common Position 2004/137/CFSP of 10 February 2004 concerning restrictive measures against Liberia (2) provided for the implementation of the measures set out in United Nations Security Council Resolution 1521(2003) concerning Liberia, including inter alia, a ban on the import of rough diamonds from Liberia. That ban was most recently renewed by Common Position 2007/93/CFSP of 12 February 2007 modifying and renewing Common Position 2004/137/CFSP (3) for a period of six months. On 27 April 2007, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1753(2007). It decided, inter alia, to terminate the restrictive measures on diamonds from Liberia. Subsequently, Liberia was admitted as of 4 May 2007 to the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme. Accordingly, Liberia should be listed as a Participant in Annex II to Council Regulation (EC) No 2368/2002 of 20 December 2002 implementing the Kimberley Process certification scheme for the international trade in rough diamonds (4).
(2) Council Regulation (EC) No 234/2004 (5) prohibits, inter alia, the import of rough diamonds from Liberia.
(3) Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 234/2004, which prohibits the import into the Community of rough diamonds from Liberia, and Article 6(3) which prohibits circumvention of that prohibition, should therefore be repealed with retroactive effect as of 27 April 2007,
Paragraphs (1) and (3) of Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 234/2004 shall be repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Having regard to the Commission proposal, submitted after consultation within the Advisory Committee as provided for under the aforementioned Regulation,
Whereas,
A. Provisional measures (1) The Council, by Regulation (EEC) No 3433/91 (2), imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of gas-fuelled, non-refillable pocket flint lighters originating in Japan, the People's Republic of China, the Republic of Korea and Thailand. The Commission, by Decision 91/604/EEC (3), accepted an undertaking offered by Thai Merry Co. Ltd, a Thai producer, the imports of which were consequently excluded from the payment of anti-dumping duties.
(2) Thai Merry Co. Ltd has, by correspondence dated 18 August 1993, withdrawn its undertaking. Subsequently the Commission imposed, by Regulation (EEC) No 2957/93 (4), a provisional duty on imports into the Community of gas-fuelled, non-refillable pocket flint lighters, falling within CN code ex 9613 10 00 (Taric code 9613 10 00 * 10), originating in Thailand, and produced by Thai Merry Co. Ltd, (Taric additional code: 8740).
B. Subsequent Procedure (3) Following the imposition of the provisional anti-dumping duty, the Community industry requested, and was granted, an opportunity to be heard by the Commission and made its views knows.
(4) No new arguments were put forward in connection with the withdrawal of the undertaking by Thai Merry Co. Ltd. The findings of Regulation (EEC) No 2957/93 in this respect are therefore confirmed by the Council.
Furthermore, the Council has no reason to believe that the definitive findings made during the investigation leading to the adoption of Regulation (EEC) No 3433/91 require modification. No arguments were presented by any interested party in this respect.
C. Duties (5) Since the general country-wide duty established by Regulation (EEC) No 3433/91 was based on the situation of Thai Merry Co. Ltd, the only amendment to that Regulation which is necessary is to remove the exemption of Thai Merry Co. Ltd from this duty.
D. Collection of provisional duty (6) By virtue of the extent of the dumping margin established and the seriousness of the injury caused to the Community producers, it is also necessary to collect definitively and in their entirety the amounts secured by way of provisional anti-dumping duty,
Article 1 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3433/91 shall be deleted.
The amounts secured by way of the provisional anti-dumping duty imposed pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 2957/93 shall be definitively collected.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 October 2002 laying down health rules concerning animal by-products not intended for human consumption (1), and in particular Articles 20(2), 22(2) and 32(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 prohibits the application to pasture land of organic fertilisers and soil improvers other than manure. This prohibition is in line with the current EU feed ban, and is intended to prevent possible contamination risks from pasture land where Category 2 material and Category 3 material could be present. Such risks may be due to direct grazing or use of grass as silage or hay by farmed animals. That Regulation provides that measures for implementing the prohibition, including control measures, are to be adopted after consultation of the appropriate scientific committee.
(2) Various scientific committees have issued a number of scientific opinions that are relevant to the application to land of organic fertilisers and soil improvers. These include first, the opinion of 24 and 25 September 1998 of the Scientific Steering Committee on the safety of organic fertilisers derived from mammalian animals, second, the opinion of 24 April 2001 of the Scientific Committee on Toxicity, Ecotoxicity and the Environment on the evaluation of sludge treatments for pathogen reduction, third, the opinion of 10 and 11 May 2001 of the Scientific Steering Committee on the safety of organic fertilisers derived from ruminant materials and fourth, the opinion of 3 March 2004 of the Scientific Panel on Biological Hazards of the European Food Standards Authority on the safety vis-à-vis biological risk including TSEs of the application on pastureland of organic fertilisers and soil improvers.
(3) Those scientific opinions recommend that animal tissues that are likely to contain TSE agents should not be incorporated in organic fertilisers and soil improvers for use on land to which cattle may have access. Other materials may be used in the manufacture of organic fertilisers and soil improvers under certain health conditions involving heating and safe sourcing that further reduce any potential risks.
(4) In the light of those scientific opinions, implementing rules, including control measures, should be laid down for the application to land of organic fertilisers and soil improvers, as well as digestion residues and compost.
(5) The implementing measures provided for in this Regulation should be without prejudice to transitional measures currently applicable pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002.
(6) It should be possible to place on the market and export organic fertilisers and soil improvers provided the conditions set out in this Regulation are complied with.
(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,
Subject matter and scope
1. This Regulation shall be without prejudice to transitional measures adopted in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002.
2. The Member States may apply stricter national rules than those provided for in this Regulation as regards the way organic fertilisers and soil improvers are used on their territory where such rules are justified on animal or public health grounds.
Amendment
In Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002, point 39 is replaced by the following:
‘39. “pasture land” means land covered with grass or other herbage grazed by or used as feedingstuffs for farmed animals, excluding land to which organic fertilisers and soil improvers have been applied in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 181/2006 (2);
Requirements for organic fertilisers and soil improvers
Organic fertilisers and soil improvers shall be produced solely from Category 2 and Category 3 material.
Pathogen control and packaging and labelling
Organic fertilisers and soil improvers shall comply with the requirements regarding pathogen control and packaging and labelling set out in parts I and II of the Annex.
Transport
Organic fertilisers and soil improvers shall be transported in accordance with the requirements set out in part III of the Annex.
Use and special grazing restrictions
1. The special grazing restrictions set out in part IV of the Annex shall apply where organic fertilisers and soil improvers are applied to land.
2. Processed products derived from the processing of animal by-products in a processing plant in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 shall not be applied as such directly to land where farmed animals might have access.
Records
The person responsible for land to which organic fertilisers and soil improvers are applied and to which farmed animals have access shall keep records for at least two years of:
(a) the quantities of organic fertilisers and soil improvers applied;
(b) the date on which and the places where organic fertilisers and soil improvers were applied to land;
(c) the dates on which livestock is allowed to graze the land or on which the land is cropped for feedingstuffs.
Placing on the market, export and transit
The placing on the market, export and transit of organic fertilisers and soil improvers shall be subject to compliance with the requirements set out in parts I and II of the Annex.
Control measures
1. The competent authority shall take the necessary measures to ensure compliance with this Regulation.
2. The competent authority shall carry out controls at regular intervals on land where organic fertilisers and soil improvers are applied and to which farmed animals may have access.
3. If controls carried out by the competent authority show that this Regulation is not complied with, the competent authority shall take appropriate action.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3488/89 of 21 November 1989 laying down the method of decision for certain provisions laid down for agricultural products in the framework of Mediterranean agreements (1), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas, in accordance with the agreements concluded with various Mediterranean third countries, the Commission may decide to adjust the entry price of certain fruit and vegetables originating in those countries taking account of the annual reviews of trade flows by product and country pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 451/89 of 20 February 1989 concerning the procedure to be applied to certain agricultural products originating in various Mediterranean third countries (2);
Whereas an examination of the outlook for export flows of table grapes originating in Cyprus in the light of the overall trend on the Community market effectively results in the entry price for those products being adjusted;
Whereas the adjustment of the entry price must relate to the amount to be deducted for customs duties from the representative prices recorded in the Community for the calculation of the entry price for table grapes referred to in Article 24 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1193/90 (4); whereas a reduction of one-sixth is likely to meet the desired objective; whereas that reduction for the period 4 June to 4 August within the limit of given quantities pursuant to the Mediterranean agreements must only apply, however, from 21 July, the date of entry into force of the reference price for table grapes;
Whereas, in order to ensure that this system is effective, the trend in imports of such products must be monitored; whereas, in this respect, quantities of table grapes imported within the 1990 tariff quota are to be the subject of statistical monitoring under the administration of the latter pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3410/89 (5); whereas quantities imported outside that quota and up to 10 500 tonnes should be made subject to Community surveillance;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
For the purposes of calculating the entry price referred to in Article 24 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 for table grapes originating in Cyprus and falling within CN code 0806 10 19 (serial number 190040), the amount to be deducted for customs duties from the representative prices recorded shall be reduced by one-sixth during the period 21 July to 4 August 1990. That reduction shall apply to up to 10 500 tonnes.
1. Imports of table grapes originating in Cyprus outside the tariff quota of 8 900 tonnes fixed by Regulation (EEC) No 3410/89 and up to the maximum of 10 500 tonnes referred to in Article 1 shall be subject to Community surveillance.
2. As and when the products are presented to customs under cover of declarations of release for free circulation together with a movement certificate for the goods, they shall be charged against the quantities concerned.
Goods may only be charged against that quantity if the goods movement certificate is presented before the date from which those preferential arrangements cease to apply.
The extent to which a quantity is used up shall be determined at Community level on the basis of imports charged against it under the conditions laid down in the first and second subparagraphs.
Member States shall inform the Commission of imports effected in accordance with the detailed rules set out above, at the intervals and within the time limits indicated in paragraph 4.
3. Once the quantities in question are attained, the Commission shall inform the Member States of the date from which those preferential arrangements cease to apply.
4. Member States shall forward to the Commission statements of quantities charged for periods of 10 days, to be forwarded within five days from the end of each 10-day period.
5. The Commission may take the requisite administrative measures to adapt the administrative procedure set out in this Article.
Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely together to ensure that this Regulation is implemented.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 21 July 1990. However, should the tariff quota be used up before that date, the Commission shall inform the Member States of the date prior thereto from which Articles 2 and 3 shall apply.

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 13(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 lays down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) in animals. The first subparagraph of Article 13(1) of that Regulation provides for eradication measures to be applied when the presence of a TSE has been officially confirmed. Those measures consist in particular in the killing and complete destruction of the animals and products of animal origin which have been identified as being at risk (‘at risk bovine animals’) due to an epidemiological link with the affected animals.
(2) Spain has submitted to the Commission a request for a decision to allow the use of at risk bovine animals until the end of their productive lives by way of derogation from point (c) of the first subparagraph of Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 999/2001.
(3) The control measures submitted by Spain provide for strict movement restriction and traceability of bovine animals in such a way that the current level of protection of human and animal health is not endangered.
(4) On the basis of a favourable risk assessment, Spain should therefore be allowed to use at risk bovine animals until the end of their productive lives provided that certain conditions are met.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
1. By way of derogation from point (c) of the first subparagraph of Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 999/2001, Spain may use bovine animals referred to in the second and third indents of point 1(a) of Annex VII to that Regulation until the end of their productive lives under the conditions provided for in paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Article.
2. Spain shall ensure that the bovine animals referred to in paragraph 1:
(a) are permanently traceable in the computerised database provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2);
(b) are only moved from their holding under official supervision and for the purpose of destruction;
(c) are not dispatched to other Member States or exported to third countries.
3. Spain shall carry out regular checks to verify the correct implementation of this Decision.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds(1), and in particular Article 15(5) thereof,
After consultation of the Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 et seq. of Title II of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 lay down the procedure for preparing and implementing single programming documents.
(2) Article 15(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides that, after consultation with the partners referred to in Article 8 of the Regulation, the Member State may submit to the Commission a development plan which is treated as a draft single programming document, and which contains the information referred to in Article 16 of the Regulation.
(3) Under Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, on the basis of the regional development plan submitted by the Member State and within the partnership established in accordance with Article 8 of the Regulation, the Commission shall take a decision on the single programming document, in agreement with the Member State concerned and in accordance with the procedures laid down in Articles 48 to 51.
(4) The United Kingdom Government submitted to the Commission on 28 April 2000 an acceptable draft single programming document for the East of Scotland region fulfilling the conditions for Objective 2 pursuant to Article 4(1) and qualifying for transitional support under Objectives 2 and 5b pursuant to Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. The draft contains the information listed in Article 16 of the Regulation, and in particular a description of the priorities selected and an indication of the financial contribution from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the other financial instruments proposed for implementing the plan.

Under Article 30 of the Regulation, it is necessary to lay down the final date for the eligibility of expenditure.
(6) The single programming document has been drawn up in agreement with the Member State concerned and within the partnership.
(7) The Commission has satisfied itself that the single programming document is in accordance with the principle of additionality.
(8) Under Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Commission and the Member State are required to ensure, in a manner consistent with the principle of partnership, coordination between assistance from the Funds and from the EIB and other existing financial instruments.

The annual breakdown must be consistent with the relevant financial perspective. Under Article 7(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Community contribution has already been indexed at a rate of 2 % per year. Under Article 7(7) and Article 44(2) of the Regulation, the Community contribution may be reviewed at mid-term, and not later than 31 March 2004, to take account of the effective level of inflation and the allocation of the performance reserve.
(11) Provision must be made for adapting the financial allocations of the priorities of this single programming document within certain limits to actual requirements reflected by the pattern of implementation on the ground, in agreement with the Member State concerned,
The single programming document for Community structural assistance under Objective 2 in the East of Scotland region of the United Kingdom for the period 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2005 for transitional areas and from 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2006 for fully eligible areas is hereby approved.
1. In accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the single programming document includes the following elements:
(a) the strategy and priorities for the joint action of the Community Structural Funds and the Member State; their specific quantified targets; the ex ante evaluation of the expected impact, including on the environmental situation, and the consistency of the priorities with the economic, social and regional policies and the employment strategy of the United Kingdom.
The priorities are as follows:
- strategic economic development,
- strategic locations and sectors,
- community economic development,
- technical assistance;
(b) a summary description of the measures planned to implement the priorities, including the information needed to check compliance with the State aid rules under Article 87 of the Treaty;
(c) the indicative financing plan specifying for each priority and each year the financial allocation envisaged for the contribution from the ERDF, the EIB and the other financial instruments and indicating separately the funding planned for the regions receiving transitional support and the total amounts of eligible public or equivalent expenditure and estimated private funding in the Member State. The total contribution from the ERDF planned for each year for the single programming document is consistent with the relevant financial perspectives;
(d) the provisions for implementing the single programming document including designation of the managing authority, a description of the arrangements for managing the single programming document and the use to be made of global grants, a description of the systems for monitoring and evaluation, including the role of the Monitoring Committee and the arrangements for the participation of the partners in that Committee;
(e) the ex ante verification of compliance with additionality and information on the transparency of financial flows;
(f) information on the resources required for preparing, monitoring and evaluating the assistance.
2. The indicative financing plan puts the total cost of the priorities selected for the joint action by the Community and the Member State at EUR 650413 million for the whole period and the financial contribution from the Structural Funds at EUR 250540 million.
The resulting requirement for national resources of EUR 328763 million from the public sector and EUR 71110 million from the private sector can be partly met by Community loans from the EIB and other lending instruments.
1. The total assistance from the Structural Funds granted under the single programming document amounts to EUR 250540 million. The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds for the various priorities included in the single programming document, is set out in the financing plan annexed to this Decision.

>TABLE>
3. During implementation of the financing plan, the total cost or Community financing of a given priority can be adjusted in agreement with the Member State by up to 25 % of the total Community contribution to the single programming document throughout the programme period or by up to EUR 30 million, whichever is the greater, without altering the total Community contribution referred to in paragraph 1.
This Decision is without prejudice to the Commission's position on aid schemes falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty that are included in this assistance and which have not yet been approved by the commission. Submission of the application for assistance, the programming complement or a request for payment by the Member State does not replace the notification required by Article 88(3) of the Treaty.
Community financing of State aid falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, requires prior approval by the Commission under Article 88 of the Treaty, except where the aid falls within the de minimis rule or is exempted under an exemption regulation adopted by the Commission under Council Regulation (EC) No 994/98 of 7 May 1998 on the application of Articles 87 and 88 to certain categories of horizontal aid(2). In the absence of such exemption or approval, aid is illegal and subject to the consequences set out in the procedural regulation for State aid, and its co-financing would be treated as an irregularity within the meaning of Articles 38 and 39 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.
Consequently, the Commission will not accept requests for interim and final payments under Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 for measures being co-financed with new or altered aid, as defined in the procedural regulation for State aid, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, until such aid has been notified to and formally approved by the Commission.
The date from which expenditure shall be eligible is 1 January 2000. The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure in transitional areas shall be 31 December 2007 and in fully eligible areas 31 December 2008. This date is extended to 30 April 2009 for expenditure incurred by bodies granting assistance under Article 9(l) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.
This Decision is addressed to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

| COUNCIL DECISION of 22 July 1991 establishing the second phase of the Tedis programme (Trade electronic data interchange systems) (91/385/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
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),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas one of the Community's tasks is, by establishing a common market and gradually reducing the gap between the economic policies of the Member States, to promote the harmonious development of economic activities throughout the Community and closer relations between its constituent States;
Whereas the Commission White Paper on the completion of the internal market stresses the importance of the future development of new transfrontier services and the contribution made by telecommunications networks based on common standards towards the creation of a market free of barriers at Community level;
Whereas the exchange of computerized data (EDI) can contribute increasingly towards the competitiveness of European undertakings in the production and services sectors;
Whereas there is rapid growth at present in public and private initiatives for putting into service within a company or group of companies or sector of activity, at national and international level, electronic data interchange systems which are not compatible;
Whereas, as regards electronic data interchange, the diversity and fragmentation of initiatives taken at national level or more generally by a company, group of companies or sector of activity may lead to the creation of incompatible and non-communicating systems and to preventing suppliers of equipment and services, and users, from deriving maximum benefit from the advantages created by the growth in electronic data interchange;
Whereas, in line with the Council Resolution of 22 January 1990 on trans-European networks (4) and the conclusions of the Strasbourg and Dublin European Councils, the smooth running of the internal market depends on undertakings and authorities involved in it being able to exchange data as part of their activities by making use of compatible systems which enable genuine pan-European data interchange networks to be developed;
Whereas Tedis needs in particular to be dovetailed with the specific programme of research and technological development in communications technology (1990 to 1994), the specific programme of research and technological development in the field of telematics systems of general interest (1990 to 1994) and the specific programme for information technology (1990 to 1994) which are part of the Community's third framework research programme;
Whereas the work already initiated in the field of electronic data interchange (EDI) during the first phase of the Tedis programme (1988 to 1989) established by Decision 87/499/EEC (5) makes it possible to envisage the establishment of such pan-European networks, provided that this work is continued and expanded by instituting a second phase to the programme;
Whereas a programme lasting three years is called for;
Whereas an amount of ECU 25 million is estimated as necessary to implement this multi-annual programme; whereas, for the period 1991 to 1992, in the framework of the current financial perspective, the funds estimated as necessary are ECU 10 million;
Whereas the amounts to be committed for the financing of the programme for the period after the budget year 1992 will have to fall within the Community financial framework in force;
Whereas, by Decision 89/241/EEC (6), the Council amended the initial Decision on the Tedis programme to allow non-member countries, in particular Member States of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), to be associated with the Tedis programme and, in accordance with Article 228 of the Treaty, authorized the Commission to negotiate agreements with the EFTA Member States;
Whereas, by Decision 89/689/EEC (7), 89/690/EEC (8), 89/691/EEC (9), 89/692/EEC (10), 89/693/EEC (11) and 89/694/EEC (12), the Council approved the agreements on systems for the electronic transfer of data for commercial use concluded between the European Economic Community and, respectively, Austria, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland;
Whereas the Treaty does not provide, for the adoption of this Decision, powers of action other than those of Article 235,
1. A second phase of the Tedis (Trade electronic data interchange systems) Community programme concerning the exchange of electronic data (EDI) in trade, industry and administration, hereinafter called the 'programme', is hereby set up.
The programme shall last three years.
2. The Community financial resources estimated as necessary for its implementation amount to ECU 25 million, of which ECU 10 million is for the period 1991 to 1992 in the framework of the 1988 to 1992 financial perspective.
For the subsequent period of implementation of the programme, the amount shall fall within the Community financial framework in force.
3. The budget authority shall determine the appropriations available for each financial year, taking into account the principles of sound management referred to in Article 2 of the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities.
The objectives of the programme are to ensure that electronic data interchange systems are established to the best effect, in view of the socio-economic importance of such systems, and to mobilize the necessary resources to achieve this end at Community level.
In order to achieve the objectives defined in Article 2, measures will be taken and continued in the following areas:
- standardization of EDI messages,
- specific EDI needs as regards telecommunications,
- legal aspects of EDI,
- security of EDI messages,
- multi-sector and Europe-wide projects,
- analysis of the impact of EDI on company management,
- information campaigns.
A list of the proposed measures is given in Annex I. These measures shall be implemented under the procedures provided for in Articles 6 and 7.
The implementation of the programme shall be coordinated with existing or planned Community policies and activities concerning telecommunications particularly in respect, where necessary, of initiatives under the Open Network Provision Framework Directive (90/387/EEC) (1), the information market (Impact programme), security of information systems and standardization, and in particular with the Caddia programme and the CD project, so as to ensure the necessary interaction with the specific requirements of the exchange of electronic data.
Contracts arising from the programme shall be concluded with undertakings, including small and medium-sized enterprises, research establishments, national administrations and other bodies established in the Community, in the member countries of the European Free Trade Association or in a third country with which the Community has concluded an agreement associating that country with the programme.
1. The Commission shall be responsible for implementing the programme. The Commission shall be assisted by a Committee of an advisory nature composed of the representatives of the Member States and chaired by the representative of the Commission.
2. The representative of the Commission shall submit to the Committee a draft of the measures to be taken. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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 into account.
1. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 6, the following procedure shall apply in drawing up the work programme as set out in Annex I, the breakdown of the relevant budgetary expenditure and the assessment of projects and actions provided for in that Annex of a total value of above ECU 200 000, and the estimated amount of the Community's contribution to them.
2. The representative of the Commission shall submit to the Committee a draft of the measures to be taken. 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.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 715/90 of 5 March 1990 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States or in the overseas countries and territories (1), amended by Regulation (EEC) No 297/91 (2), in particular Article 27 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 of 4 September 1980 on special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences in the beef and veal sector (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3662/92 (4), and in particular Article 15 (6) (b) (i) thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 715/90 provides for the possibility of issuing import licences for beef and veal products; whereas, however, imports must take place within the limits of the quantities specified for each of these exporting non-member countries;
Whereas the application for import licences submitted between 1 and 10 October 1993, expressed in terms of boned meat, in accordance with Article 15 (1) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80, do not exceed, in respect of products originating from Botswana, Kenya, Madagascar, Swaziland and Namibia the quantities available from these States; whereas it is therefore possible to issue import licences in respect of the quantities requested for those countries; whereas the quantities available from Zimbabwe are insufficient to cover the applications for import licences; whereas, therefore, the quantities applied for should be reduced on a proportional basis;
Whereas the remaining quantities, in respect of which licences may be applied for from 1 November 1993, should be fixed within the scope of the total quantity of 52 100 tonnes;
Whereas it seems expedient to recall that this Decision is without prejudice to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from third countries (5), as last amended by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 (6),
The following Member States shall issue on 21 October 1993 import licences concerning beef and veal products, expressed in terms of boned meat, originating for certain African, Caribbean and Pacific States, in respect of the quantities and the countries of origin stated:
Federal Republic of Germany:
- 260,00 tonnes originating in Botswana,
- 90,00 tonnes originating in Madagascar,
- 0,23 tonne originating in Zimbabwe,
- 930,00 tonnes originating in Namibia;
Hellenic Republic:
- 50,00 tonnes originating in Madagascar;
Kingdom of the Netherlands:
- 300,00 tonnes originating in Botswana,
- 0,07 tonne originating in Zimbabwe,

United Kingdom:
- 60,00 tonnes originating in Botswana,
- 90,00 tonnes originating in Swaziland,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 97/69 of 16 January 1969 on measures to be taken for uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas, in order to ensure uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff, it is necessary to lay down provisions concerning the tariff classification of a product consisting of cocoa powder with small quantities (approximately 5 % by weight) of added lecithin;
Whereas heading No 18.05 of the Common Customs Tariff annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1883/82 (3), relates to unsweetened cocoa powder;
Whereas the addition of small quantities of lecithin to cocoa powder merely increases its capacity to form dispersions in liquids and, consequently, facilitates the preparation of cocoa-based drinks ('soluble cocoa');
Whereas the addition to cocoa powder of approximately 5 % by weight of lecithin does not alter its character as a product falling within heading No 18.05;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Common Customs Tariff Nomenclature,
The product consisting of cocoa powder with small quantities (approximately 5 % by weight) of added lecithin shall be classified in the Common Customs Tariff under the following heading:
18.05 Cocoa powder, unsweetened.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 21st day following its publication in the OfficialJournal of the European Communities.

Whereas Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1328/93 (3), fixed a deadline for the acceptance of applications lodged by operators with national competent authorities; whereas initial experience has shown that this deadline is too short and does not allow operators to assure that their operations are carried out successfully; whereas it is therefore appropriate to extend the deadline without, however putting in question the objective to book the expenditure under the 1993 budget year;
Whereas the measures provided for in the present Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1196/76 of 17 May 1976 laying down general rules for the granting of compensation to producers of tunny for the canning industry (2), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas Article 17 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 provides that compensation is to be granted, if necessary, to Community producers of tuna in respect of tuna for the canning industry; whereas this measure was included in order to compensate Community producers for any disadvantages that may arise under the import arrangements; whereas by virtue of the latter a fall in the import prices for tuna could directly threaten the income level of Community producers of this product;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1196/76 establishes criteria for enabling an assessment to be made of the extent to which this threat has materialized and lays down rules for determining the amount of the compensation;
Whereas the categories of tuna eligible for compensation should be specified;
Whereas for quantities for which entitlement to compensation is established, rules should be laid down governing the submission of applications by the parties concerned in order to obtain payment of the compensation;
Whereas Member States' control authorities should be responsible for adopting suitable provisions for monitoring on a permanent basis the system introduced;
Whereas the Management Committee for Fishery Products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
1. This Regulation lays down detailed rules for the granting of the compensation to tuna producers, hereinafter called 'compensation', referred to in Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81.
1. The grant of the compensation and its maximum amount shall be determined by means of a Regulation adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 33 of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81, when it has been ascertained that the conditions laid down in Articles 3 and 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 1196/76 are met for the period in question.
2. The compensation shall be granted for each of the products referred to in Annex III of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 in respect of all quantities of tuna produced by a Community producer, landed inside the Community, sold by that producer to the canning industry established in the Community and delivered to that industry during the period in question, with a view to their complete and definitive processing into products falling with Common Customs Tariff heading No 16.04.
3. The maximum amount of the compensation shall be at the level which is necessary to ensure that the fall in prices on the Community market does not threaten the income which producers of tuna derive from sale of the quantities produced, be it on the Community market or on that of third countries.
The competent authorities of the Member State concerned shall determine the amount of compensation for each batch of an individual category of product sold to the canning industry.
This amount shall be limited to the difference between the Community producer price applicable and the price actually charged by the producer for the batch in question but may not exceed the maximum amount fixed for the period in question by the Regulation referred to in Article 2 (1).
1. An application for payment of compensation accompanied by the documentary evidence referred to in paragraph 2, shall be submitted by the producer concerned for each quantity delivered during the period in question to the competent authorities of the Member State in which the producer is established not later than 30 days after the entry into force of the Regulation referred to in Article 2 (1).
2. The documentary evidence shall be as follows:
(a) the invoice for the sale of the products showing at least the names and addresses of the buyer and seller, as defined in Article 2 (2), and, for each batch of an individual category of product:

3. The compensation shall be paid by the Member State concerned within a period of two months following the entry of the complete file referred to in this Article, except in the case of an administrative inquiry as to the right to compensation.
1. The Member States concerned shall introduce a control system for ensuring that the products for which compensation is claimed qualify for it and that the provisions of this Regulation are observed.
2. Detailed rules governing the control system shall provide at least for the following:
- provisions concerning verification of the Community origin of the products, particularly on the basis of shipping documents,
- identification in the producers sales records of the quantities landed and sold under these arrangements and, for each quantity in question, the buyer of the product as well as the price at which that quantity has been sold,
- direct and regular inspections of the processing industries, in particular with the aim of verifying that products purchased under these arrangements have in fact been intended for processing in accordance with Article 2 (2).
1. In the event of a false declaration being made intentionally or as a result of grave negligence, the recipient of the compensation shall be obliged to pay to the Member State concerned an amount equivalent to 25 % of the compensation paid to him during the period of three months covered by the application, irrespective of his obligation to repay the compensation in accordance with the conditions set out in Article 8 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (1).
2. Where an infringement of the compensation scheme, with limited implications, has been committed by a recipient of the compensation and it is shown by the same recipient, to the satisfaction of the Member State concerned, that such infringement was not committed with intention to defraud or as the result of grave negligence, the Member State shall withhold an amount equal to 10 % of the amount of the compensation applicable to the quantities which are the subject of the infringement and which were intended to qualify for the compensation or in respect of which the compensation has been granted.
3. Each month, Member States shall notify the Commission of those cases in which they have applied this Article.
1. The Member States concerned shall notify the Commission not later than one month after the date of entry into force of this Regulation of the control measures introduced pursuant to Article 5 (1).
2. The Member States shall also notify the Commission, before the end of the quarter following that for which compensation has been paid, of payments made under Article 4 (3), the quantities delivered and relating thereto as well as the result of the inspections covered by Article 5 (2).
The conversion rate applicable to the compensation shall be the representative rate in force on the date of sale of the product.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards coordination of activities of the different Structural Funds between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3193/94 (2), and in particular Article 10 (1) last subparagraph thereof,
After consultation of the Advisory Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions and the Committee pursuant to Article 124 of the Treaty,
Whereas the programming procedure for structural assistance under Objective 2 is defined in Article 9 (6) to 9 (10) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 of 24 June 1988 on the tasks of the Structural Funds and their effectiveness and on coordination of their activities between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3193/94; whereas however the last subparagraph of Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 foresees that in order to simplify and to speed up programming procedures, Member States may submit in a single programming document the information required for the regional and social conversion plan referred to in Article 9 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 and the information required at Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88; whereas Article 10 (1) last subparagraph of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 foresees that in that case the Commission adopt a single decision in a single document covering the points referred to in Article 8 (3) and the assistance from the Funds referred to in the last subparagraph of Article 14 (3);
Whereas the Commission has established, by Decision 96/472/EC (4), the list of declining industrial areas concerned by Objective 2 for the programming period from 1997 to 1999;
Whereas the French Government has submitted to the Commission on 4 December 1996 the single programming document as referred to in Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 for the region of Franche-Comté; whereas this document contains the elements referred to in Article 9 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 and in Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88; whereas expenditure under this single programming document is eligible as from that date;
Whereas the single programming document submitted by this Member State includes a description of the conversion priorities selected and the applications for assistance from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the European Social Fund (ESF) as well as an indication of the planned use of the assistance available from the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the other financial instruments in implementing the single programming document;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, the Commission is charged with ensuring, within the framework of the partnership, coordination and consistency between assistance from the Funds and assistance provided by the EIB and the other financial instruments;
Whereas the EIB has been involved in the drawing up of the single programming document in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, applicable by analogy in the establishment of the single programming document; whereas it has declared itself prepared to contribute to the implementation of this document in conformity with its statutory provisions; whereas, however, it has not yet been possible to evaluate precisely the amounts of Community loans corresponding to the financial needs;
Whereas Article 2 second subparagraph of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1866/90 of 2 July 1990 on arrangements for using the ecu for the purpose of the budgetary management of the Structural Funds (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2745/94 (6), stipulates that in the Commission decisions approving a single programming document, the Community assistance available for the entire period and the annual breakdown thereof shall be set out in ecus at prices for the year in which each decision is taken and shall be subject to indexation; whereas this annual breakdown must be compatible with the progressive increase in the commitment appropriations shown in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88; whereas indexation is based on a single rate per year, corresponding to the rates applied annually to budget appropriations on the basis of the mechanism for the technical adjustment of the financial perspectives;
Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4254/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the European Regional Development Fund (7), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2083/93 (8), defines the measures for which the ERDF may provide financial support;
Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4255/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the European Social Fund (9), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2084/93 (10), defines the measures for which the ESF may provide financial support;
Whereas the single programming document has been established in agreement with the Member State concerned through the partnership defined in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88;
Whereas Article 9 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 lays down that Member States shall provide the relevant financial information to the Commission to permit verification of the respect of the principle of additionality; whereas the analysis, in the framework of partnership, of the information provided for by the French authorities has not yet allowed this verification; whereas payments should therefore be suspended after the first advance provided for in Article 21 (2) of the said Regulation until the Commission has verified the respect of the additionality;
Whereas the present assistance satisfies the conditions laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, and so should be implemented by means of an integrated approach involving finance from more than one Fund;
Whereas Article 1 of the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (11), as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom, ECSC) No 2335/95 (12), states that the legal commitments entered into for measures extending over more than one financial year must contain a time limit for implementation which must be specified to the recipient in due form when the aid is granted;
Whereas it is appropriate to mention that this Decision is ruled by the provisions on the eligibility of expenditure laid down in the Annex to Commission Decision C(97) 1035/1 of 23 April 1997 modifying the decisions approving the Community support frameworks, the single programming documents and the Community initiative programmes in respect of France;
Whereas all the other conditions laid down for the grant of aid from the ERDF and the ESF have been complied with,
The single programming document for Community structural assistance in the region of Franche-Comté concerned by Objective 2 in France, covering the period 1 January 1997 to 31 December 1999, is hereby approved.

>TABLE>
The assistance from the Structural Funds granted to the single programming document amounts to a maximum of ECU 56,172 million.
The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds to the various priorities and measures, is set out in the financing plan and the detailed implementing provisions which form an integral part of the single programming document.
The national financial contribution envisaged, which is approximately ECU 67 million for the public sector, may be met in part by Community loans, in particular from the EIB.
1. The breakdown among the Structural Funds of the total Community assistance available is as follows:
- ERDF: ECU 47,710 million,

Commitments of subsequent instalments will be based on the financing plan for the single programming document and on progress in its implementation.
3. Payments subsequent to the first advance provided for in Article 21 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 shall be subject to confirmation by the Commission of the respect of the principle of additionality on the basis of the relevant information supplied by the Member State.
The breakdown among the Structural Funds and the procedure for the grant of the assistance may be altered subsequently, subject to the availability of funds and the budgetary rules, in the light of adjustments decided according to the procedure laid down in Article 25 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88.
The Community aid concerns expenditure on operations under the single programming document which, in the Member State concerned, are the subject of legally binding commitments and for which the requisite finance has been specifically allocated no later than 31 December 1999. The final date for taking account of expenditure on these measures is 31 December 2001.
The single programming document shall be implemented in accordance with Community law, and in particular Articles 6, 30, 48, 52 and 59 of the Treaty and the Community Directives on the coordination of procedures for the award of contracts.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 608/82 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 23 March 1982, the United Kingdom has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'Gentry-Phillipson Oxygen Microbomb Calorimeter', ordered on 4 February 1981 and to be used for ecological research and teaching within a zoological department, should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 16 July 1982 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a calorimeter; whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,
The apparatus described as 'Gentry-Phillipson Oxygen Microbomb Calorimeter', which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 23 March 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 45/98 of 19 December 1997 fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1998 and certain conditions under which they may be fished (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 783/98 (4), provides for anglerfish quotas for 1998;
Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantitative limitations on catches of stocks subject to quotas, it is necessary for the Commission to fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated;
Whereas, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of anglerfish in the waters of ICES divisions VIII a, b, d, e by vessels flying the flag of Belgium or registered in Belgium have reached the quota allocated for 1998; whereas Belgium has prohibited fishing for this stock as from 5 July 1998; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,
Catches of anglerfish in the waters of ICES divisions VIII a, b, d, e by vessels flying the flag of Belgium or registered in Belgium are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated to Belgium for 1998.
Fishing for anglerfish in the waters of ICES divisions VIII a, b, d, e, vessels flying the flag of Belgium or registered in Belgium is prohibited, as well as the retention on board, the transhipment and the landing of such stock captured by the abovementioned vessels after the date of application of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 5 July 1998.

Whereas Article 15 (7) of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 provides that the provisions concerning advance fixing of the levy may be suspended if the market situation shows that the application of these provisions is causing or is likely to cause difficulties;
Whereas there is a danger that, if arrangements are adhered to, levies could be fixed in advance in the short term for quantities considerably in excess of the quantities which might be expected under more normal conditions;
Whereas the above situation requires that application of the provisions concerning advance fixing of levies for the product concerned be temporarily suspended,
Advance fixing of the import levy for certain cereals falling within subheadings 10.07 B, C II and D II of the Common Customs Tariff is suspended from 14 to 17 March 1987 inclusive.

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1824/87
of 25 June 1987
opening, allocating and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for rum, arrack and tafia, falling within subheading 22.09 C I of the Common Customs Tariff and originating in the overseas countries and territories associated with the European Economic Community (1987 to 1988)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community and in particular Article 136 thereof,
Having regard to Council Decision 86/283/EEC of 30 June 1986 on the association of the overseas countries and territories with the European Economic Community (1),
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Annex V to Decision 86/283/EEC provides that rum, arrack and tafia shall be imported into the Community free of customs duties within the limits of a Community tariff quota;
Whereas the Council has established by Decision 86/47/EEC (2), as last amended by Decision 87/342/EEC (3), arrangements for trade between Spain and Portugal on the one hand and the overseas countries and territories (OCT) on the other; whereas this Decision provides for the application by the two Member States of the particular provisions concerning the quota duties to be applied on imports of products originating in the OCT;
Whereas the annual size of the quota is to be fixed on the basis of a basic annual quantity, calculated in hectolitres for pure alcohol, equal to the amount of imports during the best of the past three years for which statistics are available; whereas to this quantity a certain growth rate is applied; whereas this growth rate should be fixed at 27 %; whereas the quota period ranges from 1 July to 30 June of the following year;
Whereas Community statistics for the years 1984 to 1986 show the highest volume of imports into the Community of the products in question originating in the said countries and territories, namely 5 569 hectolitres of pure alcohol, occurred in 1984; whereas the volume of the Community tariff quota should therefore be fixed at 7 073 hectolitres of pure alcohol;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 3 (3) of the said Annex V, the volume of the quota in question should, however, be increased to 15 000 hectolitres of pure alcohol;
Whereas, taking into account actual trends on the markets for the products in question, the needs of the Member States and the economic prospects for the period under consideration, the percentage shares in the quota volume may be laid down approximately as follows:
Benelux: 60
Denmark: 7
Germany: 10,8
Greece: 0,2
Spain: 2
France: 4
Ireland: 4
Italy: 2
Portugal: 2
United Kingdom: 8
Whereas the development of imports into the Community of these products should be recorded and imports accordingly monitored;
Whereas it is possible that during the period of validity of the said quota, the nomenclature used by the Common Customs Tariff will be replaced by the nomenclature based on the International Convention on a harmonized system of designation and codification of goods; whereas this Regulation must take account of the possibility by using the combined nomenclature codes within which the said products fall;
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 measure concerning the administration of the share allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
1. From 1 July 1987 to 30 June 1988 the duty applicable to the import of the products designated hereafter shall be suspended at the level indicated in Article 2 within the limit of the relevant Community tariff quota mentioned (1):
1.2.3.4.5.6 // // // // // // // Order No // CCT heading No // Combined nomenclature code // Description // Quota volume (in hl of pure alcohol) // Quota duty (in %) // // // // // // // 09.1621 // 22.09 C I // 2208.40-10 2208.40-90 2208.90-11 2208.90-19 // Rum, arrack and tafia falling within sub- heading 22.09 C I of the Common Customs Tariff and originating in the countries and territories referred to in Article 1 of Decision 86/283/EEC // 15 000 // Free // // // // // //
2. The rules of origin applicable to the products referred to in paragraph 1 shall be those set out in Annex II to Decision 86/283/EEC.
3. Within the limit of their shares as indicated in Article 2, the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic shall apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Act of Accession and of Decision 86/47/EEC.
The Community tariff quota referred to in Article 1 shall be divided between the Member States as follows:
1.2 // // (hectolitres of pure alcohol) // Benelux // 9 000 // Denmark // 1 050 // Germany // 1 620 // Greece // 30 // Spain // 300 // France // 600 // Ireland // 600 // Italy // 300 // Portugal // 300 // United Kingdom // 1 200
1. Member States shall manage the shares allocated to them in accordance with their own arrangements.
2. The extent to which the Member States have taken up their shares shall be determined on the basis of the imports of the products in question, originating in the said countries and territories, entered for customs clearance under declarations for free circulation.
1. In accordance with Article 6 of Annex V to Decision 86/283/EEC, the Community shall monitor imports of the products in question originating in the said countries and territories.
2. Member States shall forward to the Commission, not later than the 15th day of each month, statements of imports of the products in question actually charged against the tariff quota during the preceding month. Only products entered at customs under declarations for free circulation and accompanied by a movement certificate conforming to the rules referred to in Article 1 (2) shall be taken into consideration for this purpose.
3. The Commission shall regularly inform the Member States of the extent to which the tariff quota has been used up.
4. Where necessary, consultation may be held at the request of a Member State or on the initiative of the Commission.
The Commission shall take all necessary measures, in close cooperation with the Member States, to ensure the implementation of this Regulation.
The Council shall adopt, in good time, the adjustments to the International Convention on a harmonized system of designation and codification of goods, which are necessary both for the codification and for the designation of goods.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 1987.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/81/EEC of 19 October 1992 on the harmonisation of the structures of excise duties on mineral oils(1), and in particular Article 8(4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 8(4) of Directive 92/81/EEC, the Council, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission may authorise any Member State to introduce further exemptions or reductions in the excise duty charged on mineral oils for specific policy considerations.
(2) The German authorities have informed the Commission that as part of their continuing environmental tax reform, the duty on mineral oils used as fuels will be increased by 6 Pfennigs per litre on 1 January 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003.
(3) Because public transport is more environmentally friendly than transport in private vehicles, the German authorities have further informed the Commission that they wish to introduce a differentiated rate of duty on mineral oils used as fuel in local public passenger transport vehicles by refunding 50 % of these duty increases.
(4) The other Member States have been informed thereof.
(5) The Commission and all the Member States accept that the application of differentiated rate of excise duty on mineral oils used as fuel in local public passenger transport vehicles will not give rise to distortions of competition or hinder the operation of the internal market.
(6) This Decision does not prejudice the outcome of any State aid procedures that may be undertaken in accordance with Articles 87 and 88 of the Treaty.
(7) The Commission regularly reviews reductions and exemptions to check that they do not distort competition or the operation of the internal market or are incompatible with Community policy on protection of the environment.
(8) The Federal Republic of Germany has requested authorisation to introduce a differentiated rate of duty on mineral oils used as fuel in local public passenger transport vehicles by refunding 50 % of the duty increases that will be applied to mineral oils in the years 2000 to 2003.
(9) The Council will review this Decision on the basis of a proposal from the Commission no later than 31 December 2003, when the authorisation granted by this Decision expires,
In accordance with Article 8(4) of Council Directive 92/81/EEC, the Federal Republic of Germany is hereby authorised to apply a differentiated rate of duty on mineral oils used as fuel in local public passenger transport vehicles from 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2003 provided that this reduction is in accordance with the obligations laid down in Council Directive 92/82/EEC of 19 October 1992 on the approximation of the rates of excise duties on mineral oils(2).
