(2002/568/EC)
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 consulting the Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions,
Whereas:
(1) Articles 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 that Regulation, the Commission is to 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 Italian Government submitted to the Commission on 27 November 2000 an acceptable draft Single Programming Document for the region of Marche fulfilling the conditions for Objective 2 pursuant to Article 4(1) and qualifying for transitional support under Objectives 2 and 5(b) pursuant to Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. The plan includes the information listed in Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, in particular a description of the priorities selected and an indication of the financial contribution from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the other financial instruments proposed for implementing the plan.
(5) The date of submission of the draft which was considered acceptable by the Commission constitutes the date from which expenditure under the plan is eligible. Under Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, it is necessary to lay down the final date for the eligibility of expenditure.
(6) The Single Programming Document has been drawn up in agreement with the Member State concerned and within the partnership.
(7) The Commission has satisfied itself that the Single Programming Document is in accordance with the principle of additionality.
(8) Under Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Commission and the Member State are required to ensure, in a manner consistent with the principle of partnership, coordination between assistance from the Funds and from the EIB and other existing financial instruments.
(9) The financial contribution from the Community available over the entire period and its year-by-year breakdown are expressed in euro. The annual breakdown should 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.
(10) Provision should 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 in the region of Marche in Italy eligible under Objective 2 and qualifying for transitional support under Objectives 2 and 5(b) for the period 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2006 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 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 Italy.
The priorities are as follows:
- development and improvement of the productive system;
- ecology network and improvements to the area;
- economic diversification and development of local potential;
- 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 each Fund, where relevant from the EIB, and from the other financial instruments, including, for information, the total amount from the EAGGF Guarantee Section and indicating separately the funding planned for the regions receiving transitional support in respect of Objectives 2 and 5(b) and the total amounts of eligible public or equivalent expenditure and estimated private funding in the Member State. The total contribution from the Funds planned for each year for the Single Programming Document is consistent with the relevant financial perspective;
(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, 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.
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 318221298 for the whole period and the financial contribution from the Structural Funds at EUR 125282724.
The resulting requirement for national resources of EUR 125282724 from the public sector and EUR 67655850 from the private sector can be partly met by Community loans from the European Investment Bank and other lending instruments.
1. The total assistance from the Structural Funds granted under the Single Programming Document amounts to EUR 125282724. The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds for the various priorities included in the Single Programming Document, is set out in the financing plan annexed to this Decision.
2. The total Community assistance available is as follows:
- ERDF: EUR 125282724.
3. During implementation of the financing plan, the total cost or Community financing of a given priority may 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, 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 it has not yet approved. Submission of the application for assistance, the programme 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 under the de minimis rule or is exempted under an exemption regulation adopted by the Commission under Council Regulation (EC) No 994/98 on the application of Articles 87 and 88 to certain categories of horizontal State 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 part-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 the Regulation for measures being part-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 27 November 2000. The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure shall be 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. The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure in the areas receiving transitional support shall be 31 December 2007.
This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 15 December 2006
establishing revised ecological criteria and the related assessment and verification requirements for the award of the Community eco-label to growing media
(notified under document number C(2006) 6962)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2007/64/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1980/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 July 2000 on a revised Community eco-label award scheme (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 6(1) thereof,
After consulting the European Union Eco-Labelling Board,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1980/2000, a timely review has been carried out of the ecological criteria, as well as of the related assessment and verification requirements, established by Commission Decision 2001/688/EC (2) for the award of the Community eco-label to soil improvers and growing media.
(2) Following that review, the product group was divided into two separate product groups and accordingly Decision 2006/799/EC (3) on soil improvers was adopted. That Decision replaced Decision 2001/688/EC in so far as soil improvers were concerned.
(3) However, it is necessary to replace Decision 2001/688/EC in so far as growing media are concerned.
(4) In the light of the review, it is appropriate, in order to take account of scientific and market developments, to revise the criteria and requirements relating to growing media, the period of validity of which expires on 28 August 2007.
(5) The revised ecological criteria and requirements should be valid for a period of four years.
(6) It is appropriate to allow a transitional period of not more than eighteen months for producers whose products have been awarded the eco-label before 1 October 2006 or who have applied for such an award before that date, so that they have sufficient time to adapt their products to comply with the revised criteria and requirements.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee instituted by Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1980/2000,
The product group ‘growing media’ shall comprise material other than soils in situ, in which plants are grown.
In order to be awarded the Community eco-label for growing media, under Regulation (EC) No 1980/2000, a product must fall within the product group ‘growing media’ as defined in Article 1, and must comply with the ecological criteria set out in the Annex to this Decision.
The environmental performance of the product group ‘growing media’ shall be assessed by reference to the specific ecological criteria set out in the Annex.
For administrative purposes, the code number assigned to the product group ‘growing media’ shall be ‘029’
Eco-labels awarded before 1 October 2006 in respect of products falling within the product group ‘soil improvers and growing media’ may continue to be used until 30 April 2008.
Where applications have been submitted before 1 October 2006 for award of the eco-label in respect of products falling within the product group ‘soil improvers and growing media’, those products may be awarded the eco-label under the conditions applicable until 28 August 2007. In such cases, the eco-label may be used until 30 April 2008.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the markets in processed fruit and vegetable products(1), as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 453/2002(2), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 16(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1429/95(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1176/2002(4), set implementing rules for export refunds on products processed from fruit and vegetables other than those granted for added sugar.
(2) Article 16(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 states that to the extent necessary to permit exportation of economically significant quantities export refunds can be granted on the products listed at Article 1(2)(a) of that Regulation within the limits ensuing from agreements concluded in line with Article 300 of the Treaty. Article 18(4) of that Regulation provides that if the refund on the sugar incorporated in the products listed in Article 1(2)(b) is insufficient to allow exportation of these products the refund set in line with Article 17 thereof shall apply to them.
(3) Article 16(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 requires that it be ensured that trade flows that have already arisen as a result of granting of export refunds are not disturbed. For that reason the quantities should be set product by product using the agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 118/2003(6).
(4) Article 17(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 requires that when refunds are set account is taken of the existing situation and outlook for prices and availability on the Community market of products processed from fruit and vegetables and for international trade prices, of marketing and transport costs and of the economic aspects of the exportation envisaged.
(5) Article 17(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 requires that when prices on the Community market are determined account is taken of the prices that are most favourable from the point of view of exportation.
(6) The international trade situation or specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to differentiate the refund on a given product by destination.
(7) Economically significant exports can at present be made of provisionally preserved cherries, peeled tomatoes, sugar-preserved cherries, prepared hazelnuts and certain orange juices.
(8) Export refund rates and quantities should therefore be set for these products.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Processed Fruit and Vegetables,
1. Export refund rates in the processed fruit and vegetable sector, periods for lodging and for issuing licence applications and the quantities permitted are stipulated in the Annex hereto.
2. Licences for food aid purposes issued as indicated in Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000(7) shall not be counted against the quantities indicated in the Annex hereto.

COMMISSION DECISION of 28 February 1996 on a long-term national aid scheme to assist farmers in northern areas of Sweden (Only the Swedish text is authentic) (96/228/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden, and in particular Article 142 thereof,
Whereas in order to authorize Sweden to grant long-term national aid intended to ensure that agricultural activity is maintained in northern regions, those regions must be determined by the Commission;
Whereas, in order to facilitate the administration of the scheme when determining those regions, it is appropriate to keep the communes and the four sub-regions defined in the Swedish system of aid to agriculture in northern areas in force before accession as the administrative units relevant for checking compliance with the determination criteria;
Whereas the regions selected are to cover the agricultural areas situated to the north of the 62nd parallel and some adjacent areas south of that parallel affected by comparable climatic conditions rendering agricultural activity particularly difficult; whereas, when determining those regions, account must be taken in particular of low population density, the agricultural area as a proportion of the overall surface area, and the agricultural area devoted to arable crops intended for human consumption as a proportion of the utilized agricultural area (UAA);
Whereas the foregoing elements lead, in the case of Sweden, to the list of administrative units in sub-regions 1, 2A, 2B and 3 provided for in this Decision, which units are either north of the 62nd parallel or adjacent to that parallel and affected by comparable climatic conditions rendering agricultural activity particularly difficult and have population densities of 10 inhabitants or fewer per square km, UAA considered to constitute 10 % or less of the overall surface area and a proportion 20 % or less of that UAA devoted to arable crops intended for human consumption; whereas it is appropriate that communes entirely surrounded by such areas be included in the list up to a maximum of two communes per enclave, even if they do not have the same characteristics;
Whereas the northern area thus determined represents a UAA of 509 442 ha, which is 14 % of the total UAA in Sweden;
Whereas on the basis of available national statistics, the reference period both for quantities and for the amount of support should be fixed as 1994 for the production of cows milk and of soft fruit and vegetables and as 1993 for other products;
Whereas, for reasons of transparency, it is appropriate to indicate the volume of production per product in the abovementioned years;
Whereas on 11 May 1995 Sweden submitted to the Commission details of the system of aid planned; whereas it subsequently forwarded additional information; whereas this system provides for aid for cow's milk, goats, pigs, laying hens and soft fruit and vegetables; whereas the level of aid planned means that the level of overall support applied during the selected reference period is not exceeded;
Whereas the planned measures may be authorized since they satisfy the conditions referred to in Article 142 (3) of the Act of Accession; whereas the measures take account of the level of compensatory allowance within the meaning of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2328/91 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2387/95 (2), and the agri-environmental aid provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2078/92 (3), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2772/95 (4) for the northern areas, levels which it is appropriate to note for the sake of transparency; whereas, if accompanied by the necessary measures, they will not lead either to an increase in overall support or to an increase in production in comparison with the abovementioned reference periods; whereas, in the latter connection, it is appropriate to reduce aid in the following year in proportion to the extent by which production exceeds that of the reference period;
Whereas, with respect to the last point, apart from cow's milk, for which production is governed by the quota system laid down by the common organization of the market, and in particular by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92 (5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1552/95 (6), aid is not granted on the basis of quantities produced but on the basis of production factors (head of livestock or hectares) within regional limits; whereas for the sake of clarity it is appropriate to set out those limits in Annex IV;
Whereas the aid for the transport of cow's milk provided for in the scheme may be authorized by virtue of the third subparagraph of Article 142 (3) of the Act of Accession; whereas, in any cases where transport aid is granted as part of a national aid scheme for regional support, it is necessary to ensure that the various aid schemes do not result in the duplication of compensation for the same activity;
Whereas the aid corresponds to the objectives set out in the third subparagraph of Article 142 (3) since they are designed to maintain traditional primary production suited to the climatic conditions of the regions concerned, to improve production for agricultural products and facilitate their disposal and to ensure that the environment is protected and the countryside preserved; whereas, in particular, the aid for the transport of cow's mill corresponds to the objective set out in the third subparagraph of Article 142 (3) and may be permitted since it does not duplicate any aid authorized as part of the national aid scheme for regional support;
Whereas, in the light of the foregoing, the aid in question may be authorized, on condition that it complies with the limits set for certain products by the common organization of the markets,
The northern region of Sweden shall include, by sub-region, the local administrative units (Församling) and municipal units (Kommun) listed in Annex I.
1. The reference period referred to in Article 142 (3) of the Act of Accession shall be 1994 as regards both quantities and the level of support to be complied with for the production of cow's milk and soft fruit and vegetables, and 1993 as regards other products.
2. Production in the reference period is indicated by product in Annex II.
1. The aid set out in Annex III shall be authorized from 1 January 1995. This Annex lists the authorized amounts, by sub-region, by production factor (hectare, head of livestock) or by quantity produced, as well as the overall amount of authorized national aid.
Annex IV lists the maximum numbers of hectares, tonnes or animals that may be covered by the aid.
The aid shall be authorized taking account of the level of Community aid listed in Annex V and shall in no case be granted by quantity produced, with the exception of aid for cow's milk.
2. As regards cow's milk, the aid provided for in the first subparagraph of paragraph 1 shall be limited for each farmer to the reference quantity allocated in application of Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92.
Sweden shall submit to the Commission, before 1 April each year, and for the first time before 1 April 1996, as part of the information to be supplied pursuant to Article 143 (2) of the Act of Accession, information on the impact of the aid granted and in particular on production trends and the development of the means of production benefiting from the aid and of the economy of the regions concerned, as well as the impact on the protection of the environment and the preservation of the countryside referred to in the third subparagraph of Article 142 (3) of the Act of Accession.
It shall take all the steps necessary to apply this Decision and make all the necessary arrangements for monitoring the beneficiaries.
Where the quantities provided for in Annex II are exceeded, Sweden shall reduce the aid granted for the products concerned, proportionally in the following year. In the case of arable crop production, the reduction shall be applied only if the reference quantity is exceeded by more than 10 % on overage for two consecutive years.
Sweden may determine the conditions for granting aid to the different categories of beneficiaries, provided those conditions comply with the amounts and other elements laid down in this Decision and may change, subject to prior Commission authorization of the adjustment, the level of aid per product or other aspects of the aid scheme in question.
The Commission may review this Decision, in particular on the basis of trends in the value of the national currency or of trends in the Community aid referred to in Annex V.
Any revision of the level of authorized aid in the northern areas shall apply only from the year following that in which the change concerned comes into effect.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Sweden.

Whereas:
(1) Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 dealing with airworthiness was extended to include the elements of operational suitability evaluation into the implementing rules for type-certification.
(2) The European Aviation Safety Agency (the ‘Agency’) found that it was necessary to amend Commission Regulation (EU) No 748/2012 (2) in order to allow the Agency to approve operational suitability data as part of the type-certification process.
(3) The operational suitability data should include mandatory elements for Master Minimum Equipment List (‘MMEL’), flight crew training and cabin crew training which will be the basis for developing the Minimum Equipment List (‘MEL’) and crew training courses by operators.
(4) The requirements related to the establishment of MEL, flight crew training and cabin crew training refer to the operational suitability data, however where the operational suitability data is not available there should be a general provision as well as transitional measures.
(5) The aeronautical industry and Member State administrations should be given enough time to adapt to the new regulatory framework and to recognise under certain conditions the validity of certificates issued before the entry into force and application of this Regulation.
(6) The Agency prepared draft implementing rules on the concept of operational suitability data and submitted them as an opinion (3) to the Commission in accordance with Article 19(1) of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008.
(7) Commission Regulation (EU) No 965/2012 (4) should therefore be amended accordingly.

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 14 January 1982, the Federal Republic of Germany has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'PSI - Pressure Measurement System, consisting of: - Electronically Scanned Pressure Sensor, model ESP 32, - Digital Pressure Measurement System, model 780 B', ordered on 24 June 1980 and to be used for the measurement and recording of the pressure distribution at the mouth of an engine intake subjected to air flows at supersonic speeds in a wind tunnel, should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 8 June 1982 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Fee Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a pressure measurement system; whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,
The apparatus described as 'PSI - Pressure Measurement System, consisting of: - Electronically Scanned Pressure Sensor, model ESP 32, - Digital Pressure Measurement System, model 780 B', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 14 January 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1566/93 (2), and in particular Article 46 (5) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3461/85 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2083/91 (4), lays down rules for the organization of campaigns to promote the consumption of grape juice;
Whereas Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 3461/85 provides that the campaigns to promote the consumption of grape juice may be implemented only up to the 1991/92 wine year; whereas it is therefore necessary to amend it, given that Article 46 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 extends the implementation of such campaigns up to 1993/94;
Whereas, in order to ensure proper performance of contracts, it is necessary to introduce the requirement of a security;
Whereas, in order to ensure that the time limit for submission of the report by the contractor is complied with, it is necessary to provide that Community funds allocated be withheld if the time limit is exceeded;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
Regulation (EEC) No 3461/85 is amended as follows:
1. Article 1 (1) is replaced by the following:
'1. The campaigns to promote the consumption of grape juice provided for, up to the 1993/94 wine year, by Article 46 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 shall be organized in those Member States in which:
- the prospects of increasing the disposal of grape juice are the most favourable,
- the existing marketing conditions allow swift adjustment of supply to the expansion of demand engendered by the campaigns.';
2. the following paragraph 3a is inserted in Article 2:
'3a. The contract shall take effect only after the lodging of a security equal to 15 % of the maximum amount of the Community funding intended to ensure that the contract is carried out.
Where the security is not lodged within two weeks following the date of conclusion of a contract, the contract shall become void and without legal effect.
However, bearing in mind the legal nature of the co-contracting party, a written security from that party's supervising authority may be accepted provided that the latter guarantees:
- to ensure correct performance of the commitments undertaken,
- to verify that the sums received have been used for the performance of the commitments undertaken.
The primary requirement within the meaning of Article 20 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2220/85 (*) shall be execution of the measures contained in the contract. The security shall be released at the time of payment of the balance in accordance with
(3).
(*) OJ No L 205, 3. 8. 1985, p. 5.';
3. the following paragraph 2a is inserted in Article 5:
'2a. The application for the balance shall be submitted no later than the end of the fourth month following the date of completion of the measures provided for in the contract. It shall be accompanied by:
- appropriate supporting documents,
- a summary of the measures carried out,
- an evaluation report of the results obtained.
Except in the case of force majeure, late submission of the application for the balance accompanied by appropriate documentation shall give rise to a reduction in the balance of 3 % per month of delay.'
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh 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.

of 20 April 2006
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 21 April 2006.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(2) Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 provides that the Commission may, on the basis of the tenders notified, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 23 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, decide to fix a maximum export refund taking account of the criteria referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Article 77 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2601/69 of 18 December 1969 laying down special measures to encourage the processing of certain varieties of oranges (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 987/84 (2), and in particular Articles 2 (3) and 3 (2) thereof,
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 (3), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas, under Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 2601/69, the minimum price which processors must, under the terms of the contracts, pay to producers is to be calculated on the basis of the purchase price, plus 10 % of the basic price, of the varieties which, by reason of their commercial characteristics, are usually sent for processing;
Whereas experience has shown that besides oranges of the Biondo comune variety, the products concerned are class III oranges or mixed blood oranges; whereas the minimum price should consequently be fixed on the basis of the average purchase price for the marketing year in progress, valid under Council Regulation (EEC) No 1317/85 (4) and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1203/73 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1451/85 (6), for the oranges of that variety, plus 10 % of the average basic price over the same period;
Whereas until the last marketing period, the financial compensation and the minimum price were established at different levels for class I, II and III oranges and for the Biondo comune variety; experience has shown that fresh oranges of this variety do not necessarily require a specific classification, for it is seen that this product is delivered to the processing industry; as a result it will be useful to apply to class I and class III products the minimum price and financial compensation which is the same as those applied to class II products;
Whereas, under Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2601/69, the financial compensation must be so fixed that the difference between the minimum price and the financial compensation does not vary in relation to that for the previous marketing year, by an amount greater than the amount resulting from the increase in the minimum price, subject to an increase in the said difference of not less than 50 % of the increase in the minimum price;
Whereas, for the 1985/86 marketing year, application of the criteria laid down in Article 77 (2) of the Act of Accession results in the full application of the minimum price and the financial compensation in Greece;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
1. For the 1985/86 marketing year, the minimum prices to be paid to producers are hereby fixed at the levels set out below:
(a) for oranges of the Biondo comune variety:
11,56 ECU per 100 kilograms net for class I, II and III fruit;
(b) for class III or mixed oranges of the varieties:
Moro and Tarocco: 17,95 ECU per 100 kilograms net,
Sanguinello; 16,66 ECU per 100 kilograms net,
Sanguigno: 14,08 ECU per 100 kilograms net.
2. These minimum prices shall be for goods ex-producer's packing stations.
For the 1985/86 marketing year, the financial compensation granted to processors is hereby fixed at the levels set out below:
(a) for oranges of the Biondo comune variety:
6,75 ECU per 100 kilograms net for class I, II and III fruit;
(b) for class III or mixed oranges of the varieites:
Moro and Tarocco: 13,14 ECU per 100 kilograms net,
Sanguinello: 11,875 ECU per 100 kilograms net,
Sanguigno: 9,27 ECU per 100 kilograms net.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 October 1985.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1562/78 (2), and in particular the second paragraph of Article 20a thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2749/78 of 23 November 1978 on trade in oils and fats between the Community and Greece (3), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 20a of Regulation No 136/66/EEC lays down that olive oil used in the manufacture of preserved fish and vegetables may benefit from a system of production refunds or from full or partial suspension of the import levy ; whereas, account being taken of the characteristics of the market in olive oil and of experience gained, the system of production refunds would appear the most appropriate ; whereas general rules for the implementation of this system must be adopted;
Whereas the production refund must enable beneficiaries to purchase on the Community market at prices close to world market prices the quality of oil which they use most frequently in their manufactures ; whereas, for this purpose, the production refund must be fixed on the basis of the variable component of the import levy on oils obtained by refining virgin olive oil;
Whereas interested parties must be ensured a certain degree of stability in the cost price of olive oil used in preserved products ; whereas, for this purpose, the refund must be fixed for a fairly long period and without account being taken of relatively small alterations in the import levies;
Whereas Article 11 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides for the granting of aid for the consumption of olive oil of Community origin ; whereas, according to Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 3089/78 (4), this aid shall be granted only to approved olive oil packaging plants ; whereas, however, in order to avoid placing oils of Community origin at a disadvantage as compared with imported oils, it is necessary to increase the refund to be granted in respect of oils of Community origin by an amount equal to the consumption aid;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2751/78 (5) provides that the import levies shall be fixed by tender when certain conditions obtain ; whereas, in the event of this procedure being applied, the Commission shall fix a minimum import levy in respect of refined olive oils ; whereas, in that case, it is necessary to provide for the fixing of the production refund on the basis of these minimum levies;
Whereas, in order to ensure the proper functioning of the refund system, account should be taken, when the refund is fixed, of any significant change in the threshold price envisaged at the beginning of the period of application of the refund in question, and of any significant change in the import levy during the said period;
Whereas the refund must be granted only in respect of quantities actually used in the preserved products ; whereas Member States must therefore ensure the application of an appropriate system of checking;
Whereas this Regulation replaces Regulations (EEC) No 155/71 (6) and (EEC) No 1794/76 (7) ; whereas those Regulations must be repealed,
Olive oil used in the manufacture of preserved fish and vegetables shall benefit from a system of production refunds.
The general rules for applying this system are defined in the following Articles. (1)OJ No 172, 30.9.1966, p. 3025/66. (2)OJ No L 185, 7.7.1978, p. 1. (3)OJ No L 331, 28.11.1978, p. 1. (4)OJ No L 369, 29.12.1978, p. 12. (5)OJ No L 331, 23.11.1978, p. 6. (6)OJ No L 22, 28.1.1971, p. 5. (7)OJ No L 201, 27.7.1976, p. 3.
A production refund shall be granted in respect of olive oil used in the manufacture of preserved fish falling within subheadings 16.04 B, C, D, E, F and G of the Common Customs Tariff and preserved vegetables falling within heading No 20.02 thereof.
Without prejudice to the second subparagraph of Article 7, the Commission shall fix the production refund every two months.
1. Subject to Article 6, the amount of the refund shall be the arithmetic mean of the variable component of the levies applied to the import of olive oils falling within subheading 15.07 A II a) of the Common Customs Tariff during the two months preceding the month in which the refund is implemented.
However, where the olive oil used in the manufacture of preserved products has been produced in the Community, the refund shall be the mean referred to above plus the amount of the consumption aid valid on the day of implementation of the refund.
2. The refund fixed previously shall be maintained where the difference between that refund and the new amount calculated pursuant to paragraph 1 does not exceed an amount to be determined.
1. In the event of the tendering procedure referred to in Article 16 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC and in Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 2749/78 being used, the production refund shall be fixed, subject to Article 6 of this Regulation, on the basis of the minimum levies determined under that procedure in respect of oils falling within subheading 15.07 A II a) of the Common Customs Tariff.
2. However, where the olive oil used in the manufacture of preserved products has been produced in the Community, the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 1, shall be increased by the amount of the consumption aid valid on the day of implementation of the refund.
1. If it is decided to use the tendering procedure, the Commission shall fix the production refund, in accordance with Article 5, for the first time when a refund fixed in accordance with Article 4 falls due and provided that at least two minimum levies have been fixed.
2. If it is decided to terminate the tendering procedure, the Commission shall fix the refund in accordance with Article 4, for the first time when a refund fixed in accordance with Article 5 falls due and provided that at least two levies have been fixed pursuant to Article 15 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC.
In the event of any significant change in the threshold price envisaged at the beginning of the period of validity of the refund, account may also be taken, in fixing the refund, of the difference between the new threshold price and the one valid previously.
In the event of any significant change taking place in the import levies during the period of validity of the refund, the latter may be altered accordingly during the said period.
1. Entitlement to the refund shall arise as soon as the oil is used in the manufacture of preserved products.
2. The Member States shall ensure by means of a supervisory system that the production refund is granted solely in respect of olive oil used in the manufacture of the preserved fish and vegetables referred to in Article 2.
Detailed rules for the application of this Regulation, and in particular of the supervisory system referred to in Article 8 (2), shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 38 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular Article 17 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Cauliflower production is characterised by wide fluctuations in supply depending on the weather. Demand for cauliflowers also fluctuates in line with the weather, but inversely to supply. The market in fresh cauliflowers is therefore marked by rapid and unpredictable developments, with an extremely wide range of prices charged on the markets in fresh cauliflowers not intended for processing. Fluctuations occur each year, at irregular intervals and to varying degrees, which causes continuing difficulties for the cauliflower sector.
(2) Under the intervention arrangements laid down in Title IV of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 and implemented by Commission Regulation (EC) No 103/2004 of 21 January 2004 laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as regards intervention arrangements and market withdrawals in the fruit and vegetable sector (2), the quantities withdrawn may not exceed 10 % of the quantity marketed at any point of the marketing year. The scale of the short-term cyclical developments for cauliflowers is such that these limits prevent effective regulation of the market by producer organisations using only the general instruments of intervention.
(3) To improve competitiveness in the sector, provisions should be introduced to smooth cyclical developments by allowing, through the payment of a specific aid, the processing of certain quantities intended initially for the fresh product market where excess supply leads to a collapse in prices and provided that these quantities meet certain quality requirements. However, to avoid this mechanism generating a rise in production, the amount of aid must remain well below the difference in the prices of cauliflowers intended for the fresh product market and cauliflowers intended for processing.
(4) There is also a need to ensure that producer organisations employ their own resources for the prevention and management of cyclical crises. As a result, the minimum quantities delivered for processing must be taken over by producer organisations without benefiting from the aid, for the purposes of prevention and management of cyclical crises.
(5) As the purpose of the operation is to smooth out the occasional peaks in production, the total share of production which may benefit from either these new provisions or the traditional withdrawals mechanism must continue to be limited to 15 %.
(6) Producer organisations wishing to make use of these provisions must guarantee the processors with whom they work supplies of minimum quantities throughout the marketing year, by means of contracts, so that the activity of those processors does not depend entirely on crises affecting cauliflowers intended for the fresh market.
(7) To identify a state of crisis, a price quotation must be fixed as a reference amount for monitoring cyclical developments on the market in fresh cauliflowers, as must the price level below which, for this price quotation, the market in fresh cauliflowers must be considered to be in crisis and specific measures may be triggered.
(8) This kind of system means that producers must notify all deliveries of cauliflowers for processing, even those which do not benefit from the aid in question, in order to allow checks on the total quantities processed.
(9) Specific measures are innovative compared with the general instruments used by the common organisations of the markets in fruit and vegetables. At this stage, therefore, their scope should be limited in terms of budget and quantity and also of time, so as to allow a precise assessment of the impact of these measures before these provisions are extended. As a result, in order to avoid any budget overrun, a system for the quarterly notification of aid applications should be organised to enable a reduction percentage for applications to be fixed where necessary. In this kind of notification system, any delay in communicating aid applications by producer organisations renders the operation ineligible.
(10) Checks on the total quantities processed must cover the lots that are physically presented, to ensure that they tally with the weight declarations, and, a posteriori, that the physical flows declared tally with the transactions recorded by the producer organisations and processors. Checks should be accompanied by penalties commensurate with any failings.
(11) Finally, to ensure close monitoring of the measure by the Commission, Member States must transmit the required information to the Commission as quickly as possible.
(12) The Management Committee for fresh Fruit and Vegetables has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
Purpose
1. Under the terms of this Regulation, producer organisations shall receive aid of EUR 50 per tonne for certain cauliflowers harvested in the Community falling within CN code ex 0704 10 00 delivered for processing when price levels have dropped on the fresh cauliflower market.
2. The aid referred to in paragraph 1 shall be paid quarterly, in accordance with the periods laid down in the second paragraph of Article 3, for certain quantities of cauliflowers delivered to processors and accepted by those processors where the price conditions referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 5(5) have been met.
3. For each quarter concerned, without prejudice to Article 8(4), the aid referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article shall be paid for the quantities delivered to processors, and accepted by those processors, in excess of the minimum quantities referred to in Article 4(2)(c).
The sum of the quantities benefiting from the aid referred to in paragraph 1 and of the quantities withdrawn under the terms of Article 23 of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 may not, however, exceed 15 % of the quantities marketed in the same quarter.
Minimum quality requirements
Products delivered for processing must be whole, of sound, genuine and merchantable quality and suitable for processing. Products affected by rot shall be excluded.
Advance application by producer organisations
To qualify for the aid referred to in Article 1, producer organisations must:
(a) be recognised or have been granted preliminary recognition under Regulation (EC) No 2200/96;
(b) have in advance concluded contracts which link them to one or more cauliflower processors;
(c) submit an advance application to the competent authorities of the Member State no later than 15 days before the beginning of the first period applied for by the producer organisation out of the periods set out in the second paragraph.
The application shall include copies of the contracts referred to in point (b) of the first paragraph and shall cover one or more of the following periods:
(a) from 1 November 2004 to 31 January 2005;

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard 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 (1), and in particular Articles 4 (1) and 18 (1) (a) and (b) thereof,
Whereas establishments in third countries cannot be authorized to export fresh meat to the Community unless they satisfy the general and special conditions laid down in Directive 72/462/EEC;
Whereas Swaziland has proposed, in accordance with Article 4 (3) of Directive 72/462/EEC, one establishment authorized to export to the Community;

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia, and in particular the first paragraph of Article 41 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 of 13 February 1993 on the common organisation of the market in bananas (1),
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1892/2004 (2) adopted the transitional measures needed to facilitate the transition from the arrangements in force in the new Member States prior to their accession to the European Union to the import arrangements in force under the common organisation of the markets in the banana sector for the year 2005. In order to ensure market supply, in particular in the new Member States, that Regulation fixed an additional quantity on a transitional basis for the purpose of issuing import licences. This additional quantity must be managed using the mechanisms and instruments put in place by Commission Regulation (EC) No 896/2001 of 7 May 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 as regards the arrangements for importing bananas into the Community (3).
(2) The quantities available for import under this additional quantity for the fourth quarter of 2005 should be determined, having regard, on the one hand, to the volume of the additional quantity for 2005 provided for in Articles 3 and 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 1892/2004 and, on the other hand, to the import licences issued for the first three quarters of 2005.
(3) In view of the fact that this Regulation must apply before the start of the period for the submission of licence applications for the fourth quarter of 2005, provision should be made for this Regulation to enter into force immediately.
(4) This Regulation shall apply to operators established in the Community and being registered in accordance with Articles 5 and 6 of Regulation (EC) No 1892/2004.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Bananas,
1. For the fourth quarter of 2005, the quantities available for import under the additional quantity provided for in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1892/2004 for the import of bananas shall be as set out in the Annex.
2. For the fourth quarter of 2005, applications for import licences under the additional quantity:
(a) submitted by a traditional operator may not relate to a quantity exceeding the difference between the reference quantity established and notified pursuant to Article 5(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1892/2004 and the sum of the quantities covered by import licences issued for the first three quarters of 2005;
(b) submitted by a non-traditional operator may not relate to a quantity exceeding the difference between the annual quantity determined and notified to the operator pursuant to Article 6(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1892/2004 and the sum of the quantities covered by import licences issued for the first three quarters of 2005.
To be accepted, applications for import licences shall be accompanied by a copy of the import licence(s) issued to the operator for the preceding quarters of 2005.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1082/96 of 14 June 1996 establishing a reference method for the determination of the ethyl ester of beta-apo-8' carotenic acid in concentrated butter and butter
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2931/95 (2), and in particular Article 6 (7) and Article 12 (3) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 570/88 of 16 February 1988 on the sale of butter at reduced prices and the granting of aid for butter and for concentrated butter for use in the manufacture of pastry products, ice-cream and other foodstuffs (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 531/96 (4), provides for the tracing of the subsidized butter and concentrated butter in certain circumstances in order to ensure the correct end use of these products;
Whereas, in view of the importance of tracing to the proper functioning of the scheme and in order to ensure the equal treatment of operators who participate in it, it is appropriate to establish common methods for the determination of the tracers referred to in Regulation (EEC) No 570/88;
Whereas it is difficult to establish such reference methods for all tracers simultaneously; whereas establishing a reference method for the determination of the ethyl ester of beta-apo-8' carotenic acid in concentrated butter or butter constitutes a further step in this direction;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
The reference method of analysis specified in the Annex shall be applied for the determination of the beta-apo-8' carotenic acid ethyl ester content of concentrated butter or butter under Regulation (EEC) No 570/88.
Concentrated butter or butter have been traced in conformity with Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 570/88 if the results obtained are in accordance with the specifications of paragraph 8 of the Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 October 1996.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 908/97 of 20 May 1997 amending Regulation (EEC) No 830/92 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain polyester yarns (man-made staple fibres) originating in Taiwan, Indonesia, India, the People's Republic of China and Turkey and collecting definitively the provisional duty
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 (4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE
(1) By Regulation (EEC) No 830/92 (2), the Council imposed, inter alia, a definitive anti-dumping duty of 10,1 % on imports of single and multiple (folded) or cabled yarns containing 85 % or more by weight of polyester staple fibres, not put up for retail sale, and other yarns of polyester staple fibres mixed mainly or solely either with artificial staple fibres or with cotton, not put up for retail sale, commonly referred to as certain polyester yarns (hereinafter referred to as the 'product concerned` or 'yarn`), currently classifiable within CN codes 5509 21 10, 5509 21 90, 5509 22 10, 5509 22 90, 5509 51 00 and 5509 53 00, and originating in Turkey, with the exception of imports from two Turkish exporters specifically mentioned, which were subject to a lesser rate of duty, and of 11,9 % on imports of the product concerned originating in Indonesia, with the exception of those imports from one Indonesian exporter specifically mentioned, which was subject to no duty at all.
(2) By Regulation (EC) No 1168/95 (3), the Council amended Regulation (EEC) No 830/92 in further excluding seven Indonesian exporters from any anti-dumping duty.
B. PRESENT PROCEDURES
(3) In October 1995, the Commission received from the Turkish producer Kipas AS (hereinafter referred to as 'Kipas` or the 'company`) an application for a review of the measures currently in force, i.e. a request to initiate a 'new exporter` review proceeding of Regulation (EEC) No 830/92, pursuant to Article 11 (4) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (hereinafter referred to as the 'Basic Regulation`). Kipas claimed that it was not related to any of the exporters or producers in Turkey subject to the anti-dumping measures in force with regard to the product concerned.
Furthermore, it claimed that it did not export the product concerned during the period of investigation on which the current measures in force were based with regard to the determination of dumping, i.e. the period from 1 January to 31 December 1989 (hereinafter referred to as the 'original investigation period`). Finally, Kipas also claimed that it had actually exported the product concerned to the Community and that it had also entered into irrevocable contractual obligations to export significant quantities of yarn to the Community.
(4) In June 1996, an Indonesian manufacturer, PT World Yamatex Spinning Mills, Indonesia (hereinafter referred to as 'Yamatex` or the 'company`) submitted a request to initiate a 'new exporter` review proceeding of Regulation (EEC) No 830/92. Yamatex claimed to have no link or relation to any of the Indonesian exporters or producers subject to the anti-dumping measures in force with regard to the product concerned, that it had not exported the product concerned during the original investigation period and that it had entered into irrevocable contractual obligations to export significant quantities of yarns to the Community.
(5) After having verified the evidence submitted by Kipas and Yamatex, which was in both cases considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a review in accordance with Article 11 (4) of the Basic Regulation, after consultation of the Advisory Committee and after the Community industry concerned had been given the opportunity to comment, the Commission initiated two separate reviews of Regulation (EEC) No 830/92 with regard to Kipas, under Regulation (EC) No 1284/96 (4), and Yamatex, under Regulation (EC) No 2237/96 (5), and commenced its investigations.
(6) In the Regulations initiating the two reviews, the Commission also repealed the anti-dumping duties imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 830/92 with regard to imports of the product concerned, produced and exported by Kipas and Yamatex, and directed customs authorities, pursuant to Article 14 (5) of the Basic Regulation, to take appropriate steps to register such imports.
Since both new exporter reviews relate to Regulation (EEC) No 830/92 it was decided to deal with them jointly.
(7) The product concerned covered by the present reviews is the same product as the one under consideration in Regulation (EEC) No 830/92.
(8) The Commission officially advised both Kipas and Yamatex as well as the representatives of the respective exporting country. Furthermore, it gave other parties directly concerned the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing. However, no such request has been received by the Commission.
(9) The Commission sent a questionnaire to Kipas and Yamatex and received, in both cases, a proper and timely reply. The commission sought and verified all information it deemed necessary for the purposes of the investigations, and carried out, in the sole case of Kipas, a verification visit at the Kipas premises in Turkey.
(10) The investigation of dumping covered the periods:
- in the review proceeding carried out for Kipas, Turkey: 1 July 1995 to 30 June 1996;
- in the review proceeding carried out for Yamatex, Indonesia: 1 November 1995 to 31 October 1996.
(11) The same methodology as that used in the original investigation was applied in the present investigations where circumstances had not changed.
C. SCOPE OF THE REVIEWS
(12) No request for a review of the findings on injury was made in any of the investigations. The investigations are therefore limited to dumping.
D. RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATIONS
1. New exporter qualification
Kipas
(13) The investigation confirmed that the Turkish exporter had not exported the product concerned during the original investigation period. Production of yarns by Kipas and export thereof to the Community started, in fact, only during the second half of 1994.
Furthermore, it was established during the investigation that the company did not have any links, either direct or indirect, with any of Turkish exporters subject to the anti-dumping measures in force with regard to the product concerned.
Accordingly, it is confirmed that Kipas should be considered as a new exporter in accordance with Article 11 (4) of the Basic Regulation, and thus its individual dumping margin should be determined.
Yamatex
(14) The evidence submitted by the Indonesian exporter confirmed that it had not exported the product concerned during the original investigation period. Production of the product concerned started in 1994. Export activities in the form of irrevocable contractual obligations of Yamatex vis-Ă -vis Community customers for the product concerned only started, according to the documents provided, during the present investigation period (May 1996).
Furthermore, according to documentary evidence submitted, Yamatex satisfactorily demonstrated that it did not have any links, either direct or indirect, with any of Indonesian exporters subject to the anti-dumping measures in force with regard to the product concerned.
Accordingly, it is confirmed that also Yamatex should be considered as a new exporter in accordance with Article 11 (4) of the Basic Regulation, and thus its individual dumping margin should be determined.
2. Dumping
A. Normal value
Kipas
(15) In accordance with Article 2 (2) of the Basic Regulation, an examination was conducted to ascertain whether the volume of Kipas' sales of the like product on the Turkish domestic market in total reached at least 5 % of the volume of its total exports of the product concerned to the Community. It was found that total domestic sales of the like product achieved a level considerably in excess of the aforementioned 5 % threshold.
For each of the types of yarn sold on the domestic market and found to be identical or directly comparable to types sold for export to the Community, the Commission then established whether domestic sales per type were made in sufficient quantities.
Domestic sales of each type were considered to have been made in sufficient quantities within the meaning of Article 2 (2) of the Basic Regulation as the volume of each type of yarn sold in Turkey during the investigation period represented 5 % or more of the quantity of the comparable type of yarn sold for export to the Community.
The Commission subsequently examined whether the domestic sales of each type of the product concerned exported to the Community could be considered to have been made in the ordinary course of trade.
Whether or not domestic sales were made in the ordinary course of trade was determined pursuant to Article 2 (4) of the Basic Regulation. Since, per product type, the weighted average selling price was equal to, or higher than, the weighted average unit cost and as the volume of sales below unit cost represented less than 20 % of the domestic sales, all domestic sales were regarded as having been made in the ordinary course of trade.
In accordance with Article 2 (1) of the Basic Regulation, normal value was therefore based on the weighted average prices of all domestic sales of the corresponding product types exported to the Community.
Yamatex
(16) When establishing normal value for the Indonesian exporter, the same methodology as described under recital (15) was applied.
It was concluded that comparable types of the product concerned, in relation to those exported to the Community during the investigation period, were sold on the domestic market, and that these sales were made in sufficient quantities in the ordinary course of trade.
In accordance with Article 2 (1) of the Basic Regulation, normal value was therefore based on the weighted average prices of all domestic sales of the corresponding product types exported to the Community.
B. Export prices
(17) For both companies, Kipas and Yamatex, export prices were established on the basis of the prices actually paid or payable for the product concerned when sold for export to the Community, in accordance with Article 2 (8) of the Basic Regulation.
C. Comparison
Kipas
(18) In accordance with Article 2 (11) of the Basic Regulation, the weighted average normal value by product type was compared, on an ex-factory basis, to the weighted average export price at the same level of trade.
For the purpose of a fair comparison, due allowance in the form of adjustments was made for differences which were claimed and demonstrated to affect price comparability. These adjustments were made, in accordance with Article 2 (10) of the Basic Regulation, in respect of commissions, transport, insurance, handling and ancillary costs, credit costs, discounts and rebates.
Yamatex
(19) The same methodology as described in recital 18 was applied for Yamatex.
D. Dumping margin
(20) The above comparison revealed that no dumping existed for exports to the Community of the product concerned made by both Kipas and Yamatex during the investigation period.
E. AMENDMENT OF THE MEASURES BEING REVIEWED
(21) Based on the findings of no dumping made during the investigations, it is considered that no anti-dumping measure should be imposed on imports into the Community of the product concerned, produced and exported by Kipas and Yamatex. Regulation (EEC) No 830/92 should therefore be amended accordingly.
F. DISCLOSURE AND DURATION OF THE MEASURES
(22) Kipas and Yamatex were informed of the facts and considerations on the basis of which it is intended to propose the amendment to Regulation (EEC) No 830/92 and were given the opportunity to comment. No comments were received.
(23) The reviews carried out do not affect the date on which Regulation (EEC) No 830/92 will expire pursuant to Article 11 (2) of the Basic Regulation,
The following shall be added at the end of Article 1 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 830/92:

(2) Given the present situation on the sugar market, export refunds should therefore be fixed in accordance with the rules and certain criteria provided for in Articles 32 and 33 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006.
(3) The first subparagraph of Article 33(2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund according to destination.

(5) Export refunds may be set to cover the competitive gap between Community and third country's exports. Community exports to certain close destinations and to third countries granting Community products a preferential import treatment are currently in a particular favourable competitive position. Therefore, refunds for exports to those destinations should be abolished.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
1. Export refunds as provided for in Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 shall be granted on the products and for the amounts set out in the Annex to this Regulation subject to the conditions provided for in paragraph 2 of this Article.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2071/92 (2), and in particular Articles 6 (7), 12 (3) and 28 thereof,
Whereas, following the amendments made by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1813/93 (3) to Regulation (EEC) No 570/88 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2443/93 (5), divergences have been found in certain Member States in the interpretation of the term 'intermediate products'; whereas in order to remedy this situation and to avoid any discrimination between Community operators, criteria should be laid down to permit objectively and transparency in the identification of those products; whereas, furthermore, for technical and commercial reasons, products other than products falling within codes 0401 to 0406 of the Combined Nomenclature, with the exception of CN codes 0402 21 19 and 0402 21 99, should be considered to be 'intermediate products' and Annex IX to Regulation (EEC) No 570/88 should be amended to include as intermediate products products falling within CN code 1704 90 30;
Whereas, notwithstanding the general rules, Article 21 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 570/88, for imperative and duly justified commercial reasons, provides for the possibility of a change in the intended use between formula A/C/D and formula B; whereas that derogation must be strictly interpreted and applied where the minimum selling prices or where appropriate, the maximum levels of aid are different for formula A/C/D and formula B; whereas such a strict application is unnecessary where the minimum selling prices or, where appropriate, the maximum levels of aid are identical for the two formulae; whereas, therefore, a change in the intended use may be authorized at the request of the operator;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 570/88, intermediate products and processing establishments must receive prior approval from 1 August 1993; whereas, for administrative reasons and for reasons of judicial security, approval given before 1 August should be considered valid until the approval procedure is completed and at the latest until 30 November 1993;
Whereas the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not issued an opinion in the time limit laid down by its Chairman,
Regulation (EEC) No 570/88 is hereby amended as follows:
1. The following sentence is added to Article 9 (1) (a):
'However, approval for intermediate products approved before 1 August 1993 shall be valid until the competent authority has completed its examination of the application and at the latest until 30 November 1993.'
2. In Article 9a, the terms 'falling within CN codes 0401 and 0405' are replaced by the terms 'falling within CN codes 0401, 0402 (with the exception of CN codes 0402 21 19 and 0402 21 99), 0403, 0404, 0405 and 0406'.
3. The following subparagraph is added to Article 21 (4):
'However, where the minimum selling price or, where appropriate, the maximum level of aid referred to in Article 18 (1) are identical for formula A/C/D and formula B, the competent authority may authorize, under its supervision and in compliance with the provisions of this Regulation, a change in the intended use between the two formulae at the request of the tenderer.'
4. In point 1 of Annex IX, the terms 'falling within CN code 1806' are replaced by the terms 'falling within CN codes 1704 90 30 and 1806'.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh 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.

Whereas in order to ensure uniform application of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to the said Regulation, it is necessary to adopt measures concerning the classification of the goods referred to in the Annex to this Regulation;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 has set down the general rules for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and those rules also apply to any other nomenclature which is wholly or partly based on it or which adds any additional subdivision to it and which is established by specific Community provisions, with a view to the application of tariff and other measures relating to trade in goods;
Whereas the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2802/95 of 4 December 1995 concerning the classification of certain goods in the Combined Nomenclature (3) classified product No 1 as a beverage without taking account of its specific therapeutic and prophylactic properties in the treatment of anaemia caused by iron deficiencies; whereas it is necessary to amend the classification of this product which must be considered as a medicament;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
The classification of product No 1 in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2802/95 shall be replaced by that in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 21st 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.

Whereas the request submitted by Italy on 21 May 1997, which reached the Commission on 27 May 1997, contained the information required by Article 8 (2) (c); whereas the request concerns the fuelling with compressed natural gas of a class M1 type of vehicle;
Whereas the reasons given in the request, according to which such fuelling systems do not meet the requirements of the Directives concerned, in particular Council Directive 70/220/EEC of 20 March 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to measures to be taken against air pollution by gases from spark-ignition engines of motor vehicles (3), as last amended by Directive 96/69/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (4), and Council Directive 80/1268/EEC of 16 December 1980 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the fuel consumption of motor vehicles (5), as last amended by Commission Directive 93/116/EC of 17 December 1993 (6) are well founded; whereas, however, the tests performed in accordance with the abovementioned Directives were conducted using both petrol and natural gas as fuel; whereas the relevant limit values were respected with both types of fuel, while recorded emissions of pollutants were lower with natural gas; whereas equivalent environmental protection is thus ensured;
Whereas, in order to assure themselves of the safety of vehicles in service, Member States may periodically carry out leak-tightness tests at a pressure of at least the service pressure;
Whereas the Community Directives concerned will be amended in order to permit the production of vehicles powered by compressed natural gas;
Whereas the measure provided for by this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Adaptation to Technical Progress set up by Directive 70/156/EEC,
The request submitted by Italy for an exemption concerning the production and placing on the market of a class M1 type of vehicle powered by compressed natural gas is hereby approved.
This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.

Whereas:
(1) The experience gathered by Member States with the implementation of Directive 2008/48/EC has shown that the assumptions set out in Part II of Annex I to that Directive do not suffice to calculate the annual percentage rate of charge in a uniform manner and moreover are not adapted any more to the commercial situation at the market.
(2) It is necessary to add to those assumptions by providing new assumptions on standards for the calculation of the annual percentage rate of charge for credits without fixed duration or repayable in full repeatedly. It is also necessary to provide standards for the timing of the initial drawdown of credit and the payments to be made by the consumer.
(3) Part II of Annex I to Directive 2008/48/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up by Article 25(1) of Directive 2008/48/EC and neither the European Parliament nor the Council has opposed them,
Part II of Annex I to Directive 2008/48/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.

COMMISSION DECISION of 16 December 1994 on the approval of the Single Programming Document for Community structural assistance in the region of Groningen-Drenthe concerned by Objective 2 in the Netherlands (Only the Dutch text is authentic) (94/1020/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards coordination of activities of the different Structural Funds between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2082/93 (2), and in particular Article 10 (1) last subparagraph thereof,
After consultation of the Advisory Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions and the Committee pursuant to Article 124 of the Treaty,
Whereas the programming procedure for structural assistance under Objective 2 is defined in Article 9 (8) to (10) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 of 24 June 1988 on the tasks of the Structural Funds and their effectiveness and on coordination of their activities between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2081/93 (4); whereas, however, the last subparagraph of Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 foresees that in order to simplify and to speed up programming procedures, Member States may submit in a Single Programming Document the information required for the regional and social conversion plan referred to in Article 9 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 and the information required at Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88; whereas Article 10 (1) last subparagraph of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 foresees that in that case the Commission adopts a single decision in a Single Document covering the points referred to in Article 8 (3) and the assistance from the Funds referred to in the last subparagraph of Article 14 (3);
Whereas the Commission has established, by Decision 94/169/EC (5), an initial list of declining industrial areas concerned by Objective 2 for the period 1994 to 1996;
Whereas the Dutch Government has submitted to the Commission on 26 April 1994 the Single Programming Document referred to in Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 for the region of Groningen-Drenthe; whereas this document contains the elements referred to in Article 9 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 and in Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88; whereas expenditure under this Single Programming Document is eligible pursuant to Article 33 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, from 1 January 1994;
Whereas the Single Programming Document submitted by this Member State includes a description of the conversion priorities selected and the applications for assistance from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the European Social Fund (ESF) as well as an indication of the planned use of the assistance available from the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the other financial instruments in implementing the Single Programming Document;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, the Commission is charged with ensuring, within the framework of the partnership, coordination and consistency between assistance from the Funds and assistance provided by the EIB and the other financial instruments, including the ECSC and the other actions for structural purposes;
Whereas the EIB has been involved in the drawing up of the Single Programming Document in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, applicable by analogy in the establishment of the Single Programming Document; whereas it has declared itself prepared to contribute to the implementation of this document in conformity with its statutory provisions; whereas, however, it has not yet been possible to evaluate precisely the amounts of Community loans corresponding to the financial needs;
Whereas Article 2 second subparagraph of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1866/90 of 2 July 1990 on arrangements for using the ecu for the purpose of the budgetary management of the Structural Funds (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2745/94 (2), stipulates that in the Commission Decisions approving a Single Programming Document, the Community assistance available for the entire period and the annual breakdown thereof shall be set out in ecus at prices for the year in which each Decision is taken and shall be subject to indexation; whereas this annual breakdown must be compatible with the progressive increase in the commitment appropriations shown in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88; whereas indexation is based on a single rate per year, corresponding to the rates applied annually to budget appropriations on the basis of the mechanism for the technical adjustment of the financial perspectives;
Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4254/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the European Regional Development Fund (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2083/93 (4), defines the measures for which the ERDF may provide financial support;
Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4255/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the European Social Fund (5), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2084/93 (6), defines the measures for which the ESF may provide financial support;
Whereas the Single Programming Document has been established in agreement with the Member State concerned through the partnership defined in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88;
Whereas certain measures planned under this Single Programming Document include the part-financing of aid schemes which have not yet been approved by the Commission; whereas no expenditure is foreseen for these aid schemes in 1994 and the financial commitments for 1995 and 1996 should be reduced by the amounts corresponding to the said measures until the aid schemes are approved by the Commission;
Whereas the present assistance satisfies the conditions laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, and so should be implemented by means of an integrated approach involving finance from more than one Fund;
Whereas Article 1 of the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (7), as last amended by Regulation (ECSC, EC, Euratom) No 2730/94 (8), states that the legal commitments entered into for measures extending over more than one financial year must contain a time limit for implementation which must be specified to the recipient in due form when the aid is granted;
Whereas all the other conditions laid down for the grant of aid from the ERDF and the ESF have been complied with,
The Single Programming Document for Community structural assistance in the region of Groningen-Drenthe concerned by Objective 2 in the Netherlands, covering the period 1 January 1994 to 31 December 1996, is hereby approved.
The Single Programming Document includes the following essential elements:
(a) a statement of the main priorities for joint action, their specific quantified objectives, an appraisal of their expected impact and their consistency with economic, social and regional policies in the Netherlands;
the main priorities are:
1. strengthening of industry and business services;
2. development of tourism;
(b) the assistance from the Structural Funds as referred to in Article 4;
(c) the detailed provisions for implementing the Single Programming Document comprising:
- the procedures for monitoring and evaluation,
- the financial implementation provisions,
- the rules for compliance with Community policies;
(d) the procedures for verifying additionality and an initial evaluation of the latter;
(e) the arrangements for associating the environmental authorities with the implementation of the Single Programming Document;
(f) the means available for technical assistance necessary for the preparation, implementation or adaptation of the measures concerned.
For the purpose of indexation, the annual breakdown of the global maximal allocation foreseen for the assistance from the Structural Funds is as follows:
>TABLE>
The assistance from the Structural Funds granted to the Single Programming Document amounts to a maximum of ECU 76,0 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 133 million for the public sector and ECU 44 million for the private sector, may be met in part by Community loans, in particular from the ECSC and EIB.
1. The breakdown among the Structural Funds of the total Community assistance available is as follows:
- ERDF:ECU 48,55 million,
- ESF:ECU 27,45 million.
2. The budgetary commitments for the first instalment are as follows:
- ERDF:ECU 15,54 million,
- ESF:ECU 8,78 million.
Commitments of subsequent instalments will be based on the financing plan for the Single Programming Document and on progress in its implementation.
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.
This Decision is without prejudice to the Commission's position on the aid schemes in the measure I.3. In accordance with Articles 92 and 93 of the Treaty, the aid schemes must be approved by the Commission. No expenditure for these aid schemes is foreseen by the authorities of the Member State in 1994. For 1995 to 1996, the financial commitments shall be reduced by the amounts corresponding to the said measures until the aid schemes are approved by the Commission.
The Community aid concerns expenditure on operations under the Single Programming Document which, in the Member State concerned, are the subject of legally binding commitments and for which the requisite finance has been specifically allocated no later than 31 December 1996. The final date for taking account of expenditure on these measures is 31 December 1998.
The Single Programming Document shall be implemented in accordance with Community law, and in particular Articles 6, 30, 48, 52 and 59 of the EC Treaty and the Community Directives on the coordination of procedures for the award of contracts.

establishing Community statistical surveillance for certain agricultural products originating in Cyprus, Yugoslavia, Egypt, Jordan, Israel, Tunisia, Syria, Malta and Morocco which are subject to reference quantities (1991)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard 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 (1), and in particular Article 3 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Additional Protocols to the Cooperation Agreements between the European Economic Community and Cyprus (2), Yugoslavia (3), Egypt (4), Jordan (5), Israel (6), Tunisia (7), Syria (8), Malta (9) and Morocco (10) have been concluded; whereas these Protocols provided for the progressive reduction, subject to reference quantities laid down within a set timetable, of the customs duties applicable to certain agricultural products originating in those countries and covered by the respective Agreements;
Whereas, under the respective Agreements, when the rate of customs duty applied to imports into the Community of Ten of an agricultural product subject to a reference quantity is lower than that applying in respect of Spain, Portugal or both of these Member States, the process of dismantling begins once duty on imports of that product from Spain and Portugal falls below that applied to imports of the product in question from the other countries; whereas, for this reason, the Annex to this Regulation lists only products in respect of which tariff dismantling begins or continues in 1991;
Whereas, in order to enable the competent authorities within the Commission to establish an annual trade balance sheet for each of the agricultural products concerned and, if necessary, to put into application the arrangement provided for in Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 451/89 of the products are subject to a statistical surveillance;
¹
Whereas imports of the products in question are charged against the reference quantities at Community level within pre-established timetables, as and when the products are entered with the customs authorities for free circulation; whereas, therefore, it is appropriate to establish reference quantities for those products listed in the Annex,
1. Imports into the Community in 1991 of certain agricultural products originating in Cyprus, Yugoslavia, Egypt, Jordan, Israel, Tunisia, Syria, Malta and Morocco shall be subject to reference quantities within the established timetables and to a statistical surveillance.
The description of the products referred to in the first subparagraph, their serial numbers, their CN codes, Taric codes and the quantities and timetable applying to the reference quantities are given in the table in the Annex.
2. Amounts shall be charged by Member States against the reference quantities as and when products are entered with customs authorities for free circulation, accompanied by a movement certificate conforming to the rules laid down in the Protocol concerning the definition of the concept
of originating products annexed to each cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community, on one hand, and the countries referred to in the first subparagraph of paragraph 1, on the other.
Where the movement certificate is produced at a later date, the amount shall be charged against the corresponding reference quantity at the date of acceptance of the declaration of release for free circulation.
The extent to which the reference quantities are used up shall be determined at Community level on the basis of the imports charged against them in the manner defined in the first subparagraph, as communicated to the Statistical Office of the European Communities pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (11) and (EEC) No 1736/75 (12).
The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37, in conjunction with Article 300(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Government of the Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe on fishing off the coast of São Tomé(1), the Community and the Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe have held negotiations with a view to determining the amendments or additions to be made to the Agreement at the end of the period of application of the Protocol.
(2) As a result of these negotiations, a new Protocol was initialled on 14 February 2002.
(3) The Protocol provides Community fishermen with fishing opportunities in waters under the sovereignty or jurisdiction of São Tomé and Príncipe from 1 June 2002 to 31 May 2005.
(4) In order to ensure uninterrupted fishing activities by Community vessels, it is essential that the new Protocol be approved as quickly as possible. To this end, the two parties initialled an Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters providing for the provisional application of the initialled Protocol from 1 June 2002.
(5) The allocation of the fishing opportunities among the Member States should be defined as well as their obligations to notify the catches,
The Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters concerning the provisional application of the Protocol setting out, for the period from 1 June 2002 to 31 May 2005, the fishing opportunities and the financial contribution provided for by the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Government of the Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe on fishing off the coast of São Tomé and Príncipe is hereby approved on behalf of the Community.

of 9 December 2013
amending Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 31 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The Union market for jet fuel depends considerably on imports of jet fuel from third countries.
(2) Although bilateral aviation agreements between Member States and third countries typically include provisions concerning duty relief for jet fuel, it is necessary to lay down common rules on duty relief for jet fuel in order to ensure clarity and uniformity in this regard, to provide legal certainty for operators and to avoid any distortion of competition resulting from differing practices and rules.
(3) A significant part of jet fuel imports to the Union originates in countries that benefit from the scheme of generalised tariff preferences or have preferential access to the Union market, and thus the imports are duty-free.
(4) With the application of tariff preferences in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 978/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) starting from 1 January 2014, a number of countries which are important exporters of jet fuel will cease to be beneficiaries of that preferential access to the Union market, and certain other exporting countries will not benefit from preferential access for certain product categories, including fuel, in accordance with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1213/2012 (2).
(5) The imposition of customs duties on jet fuel from those suppliers would likely cause an increase in the price of jet fuel on the Union market as it is not economically viable for refineries in the Union to increase their production of aviation fuel to any significant degree.
(6) It is therefore appropriate to suspend the autonomous rate of customs duty for jet fuel. The suspension should cover all products falling within CN code 2710 19 21. Taking into account possible future changes in the market situation of jet fuel, the suspension should be reviewed on the basis of an assessment within five years.
(7) Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (3) should therefore be amended accordingly,
In Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, the text for CN code 2710 19 21 in column 3 of the table in Chapter 27 of Section V of Part Two, is replaced by the following:

(2) Pursuant to Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 958/2006 and following an examination of the tenders submitted in response to the partial invitation to tender ending on 23 November 2006, it is appropriate to fix a maximum export refund for that partial invitation to tender.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 (2), and in particular Article 20 thereof,
Whereas exceptional measures to support the market in pigmeat were adopted for the Netherlands by Commission Regulation (EC) No 413/97 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1498/97 (4), in response to the outbreak of classical swine fever in certain production regions in that country;
Whereas it is certain that the veterinary and trading restrictions and the market support measures laid down in Regulation (EC) No 413/97 must continue for several months; whereas it is therefore reasonable and justified to interrupt the production of piglets by banning the insemination of sows, thus avoiding the need to slaughter piglets in a few months' time, and reducing the pig density and thus the risk of future spread of the disease;
Whereas the Dutch authorities introduced such a ban on insemination in regions with a high pig density from 3 June 1997; whereas producers must keep non-covered sows on their holding until the ban is lifted and they may recommence the production of piglets; whereas it is therefore justified to offset the costs incurred in maintaining those sows by means of aid granted for each month of the period in which the ban on insemination applies;
Whereas the competent Dutch authorities must adopt the necessary measures to enable that aid to be granted, whilst using, as regards the lodging of applications, inspection measures and penalties, the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3887/92 of 23 December 1992 laying down detailed rules for applying the integrated administration and control system for certain Community aid schemes (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2015/95 (6), by analogy;
Whereas the aid for non-covered sows replaces to a certain extent the aid granted for delivery of very young piglets to the competent authorities; whereas it is therefore justified to restrict Community expenditure on the new aid scheme for non-covered sows to the level incurred in granting the aid for the delivery of very young piglets;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
The following Article 4a is hereby inserted in Regulation (EC) No 413/97:
'Article 4a
1. Producers may benefit, on request, from aid granted by the competent Dutch authorities for sows on their holding which are subject to the ban on insemination introduced from 3 June 1997 by the Dutch regulation "Regulation banning pig breeding 1997 - Regeling fokverbod varkens 1997".
2. The aid shall be ECU 32 per sow per month. It shall be granted for eligible sows kept on the applicant's holding throughout the duration of the ban on insemination and inseminated within four months of the lifting of the ban. Each sow shall remain uncovered for a period at least as long as the ban on insemination. The number of months for which the aid is granted shall be equal to the duration of the ban on insemination. The aid may be paid out six months after the entry into force of the ban on insemination at the earliest.
3. The Dutch authorities shall adopt all necessary measures to apply the aid referred to in paragraph 1, in particular provisions relating to the definition of eligible animals and their identification.
As regards the lodging of applications, inspection measures and penalties, Article 5, Article 6 (1), (3) and (4) and the first subparagraph of Article 6 (5), Article 8, Article 10 (2) and (5) and Articles 11, 12, 13 and 14 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3887/92 (*) laying down detailed rules for applying the integrated administration and control system for certain Community aid schemes shall apply mutatis mutandis.
4. The Dutch authorities shall notify the Commission within 30 days of the adoption of this Regulation of the measures they have taken. They shall inform the Commission regularly of the application of the aid scheme set up under this Article.
5. Seventy per cent of the expenditure on this aid shall be covered by the Community budget, for a total maximum number of 220 000 sows.
However, the Community financial contribution may not exceed the Community expenditure which would have been incurred in granting the aid referred to in Article 1 (4) for the delivery of very young piglets produced by an equal number of sows in a period equal to the duration of the ban on insemination, less 116 days.
Advance payments exceeding the definitively eligible amount in accordance with the preceding subparagraph calculated after the lifting of the ban on insemination shall be reimbursed to the EAGGF in the month following the decision fixing that eligible amount.
(*) OJ No L 391, 31. 12. 1992, p. 36.`
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1543/2001
of 27 July 2001
laying down the marketing standard for lettuces and curled-leaved and broad-leaved (Batavian) endives
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables [1], as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 911/2001 [2], and in particular Article 2(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Lettuce and curly and escarole chicory are among the products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 for which standards must be adopted. Commission Regulation (EEC) No 79/88 of 13 January 1988 laying down quality standards for lettuces, curled-leaved endives, and broad-leaved (Batavian) endives [3], as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1455/1999 [4], has been amended frequently and can no longer ensure legal clarity.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 79/88 should be repealed and the rules it contains recast. To that end and in the interest of preserving transparency on the world market, account should be taken of the standards for lettuces and curled-leaved and broad-leaved (Batavian) endives recommended by the Working Party on Standardisation of Perishable Produce and Quality Development of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE).
(3) Application of this standard should remove products of unsatisfactory quality from the market, bring production into line with consumer requirements and facilitate trade based on fair competition, thereby helping to improve profitability.
(4) The standard applies at all marketing stages. Long-distance transport, storage over a certain period and the various processes the products undergo may cause certain deterioration owing to the biological development of the products or their relatively perishable nature. Account should be taken of such deterioration when applying the standard at the marketing stages following dispatch.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
The marketing standard for the following products shall be as set out in the Annex:
- lettuces, falling within CN codes 070511 and 070519,
- curled-leaved and broad-leaved (Batavian) endives, falling within CN code 070529.
The standard shall apply at all marketing stages under the conditions laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2200/96.
However, at stages following dispatch, products may show in relation to the requirements of the standard a slight lack of freshness and turgidity, as well as slight deterioration due to their development and their tendency to perish.
Regulation (EEC) No 79/88 is repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 January 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3493/90 of 27 November 1990 laying down general rules for the grant of premiums to sheep meat and goat meat producers(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 233/94(2), and in particular Article 2(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EEC) No 3493/90 lays down the conditions under which farmers practising transhumance are to be regarded as producers in less-favoured areas. That Regulation lays down in particular that only those farmers whose holdings are located in certain geographical areas to be determined are to be so regarded;
(2) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2385/91 of 6 August 1991 laying down detailed rules for certain special cases regarding the definition of sheep meat and goat meat producers and producer groups(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2143/96(4), specifies those geographical areas;
(3) a further examination has shown that the list of geographical areas contained in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2385/91 should be extended;
(4) the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats,
The section of Part I of the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2385/91 relating to the geographical areas in the autonomous community of Valencia is hereby replaced by the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

|
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3690/86
of 1 December 1986
concerning the abolition within the framework of the TIR Convention of customs formalities on exit from a Member State at a frontier between two Member States
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2112/78 (1) approved on behalf of the Community the Customs Convention on the international transport of goods under cover of TIR carnets (TIR Convention), which entered into force in the Community on 20 June 1983 (2);
Whereas the Council has, on several occasions, demonstrated a political determination to reduce formalities and checks at the Community's internal frontiers;
Whereas, whenever a frontier is crossed, the procedure applicable under the TIR Convention entails the completion of virtually identical formalities first at the customs office of exit and then at the customs office of entry;
Whereas waiting time at frontiers could be significantly reduced in cases where the procedure provided for by the TIR Convention is applied in respect of goods crossing a frontier between two Member States by assigning to the customs office of entry the tasks normally performed by the corresponding office of exit;
Whereas, at its meeting in Fontainebleau on 25 and 26 June 1984, the European Council expressed a desire to pursue the efforts aimed at gradually abolishing formalities at frontiers, whereas the Commission expressed a similar desire in its White Paper where it notably stressed that simplification might be achieved by avoiding duplication of checks on both sides of the frontier and whereas the initiatives taken by certain Member States aimed at abolishing some of the checks at their frontiers reflect a similar attitude;
Whereas the European Council of 28 and 29 June 1985 adopted the objectives laid down by the Commission for 1992 for establishing the internal market and abolishing internal frontiers;
Whereas Article 48 of the TIR Convention permits contracting parties which form a customs or economic union to enact special provisions in respect of transport operations commencing or terminating in, or passing through, their territories, provided that such provisions do not attenuate the facilities provided for by the said Convention;
Whereas close collaboration at present exists between Member States; whereas such collaboration will be further strengthened by implementing the provisions of Council Directive 83/643/EEC of 1 December 1983 on the facilitation of physical inspections and administrative formalities in respect of the carriage of goods between Member States (3); whereas such collaboration makes it possible to simplify, along the lines indicated above, the formalities applicable under the TIR Convention when goods cross a frontier in the Community, without thereby increasing the risk of fraud,
1. Without prejudice to the other provisions of the TIR Convention, the following special provisions shall apply in respect of operations for the transport of goods under cover of TIR carnets commencing or terminating in or passing through Community territory.
2. For the purposes of this Regulation:
- 'TIR Convention' means the Customs Convention on the international transport of goods under cover of TIR carnets (TIR Convention), done at Geneva on 14 November 1975,
- 'TIR consignment' means any consignment under cover of a TIR carnet,
- 'internal frontier' means a land frontier between two Member States,
- 'office of departure' means any customs office in a Member State at which the international transport of all or part of a consignment under the TIR procedure commences,
- 'office of exit' means the customs office by which a TIR consignment leaves the territory of the Member State through which it has passed,
- 'office of entry' means the customs office by which a TIR consignment enters the territory of the Member State through which it is to pass.
1. Where a TIR consignment crosses an internal frontier, it need be presented, for purposes of the formalities referred to in Articles 21 and 22 of the TIR Convention, only at the office of entry unless the corresponding office of exit is at the same time the office of departure.
2. In addition to the formalities incumbent upon it as such, the office of entry shall complete the formalities referred to in paragraph 1 that are incumbent upon the corresponding office of exit and shall immediately inform the latter thereof.
1. Findings made pursuant to this Regulation by the authorities at the office of entry in a Member State shall, in the Member State which the TIR consignment has just left, have the same evidential force as findings made by the authorities of that Member State.
2. The competent authorities of the Member States shall, where necessary, communicate to one another all findings, documents, reports, records of proceedings and information relating to TIR consignments and to irregularities discovered.
Irregularities discovered in the circumstances specified in Article 3 (1) shall, for the purposes of Article 8 of the TIR Convention, be deemed to have been discovered in the Member State which the TIR consignment has just left.
However, where the irregularity observed is only in breach of the laws and regulations in force in the Member State of entry or where an excess is observed in the Member State of entry, the findings shall be deemed to have been made in that Member State.
Without prejudice to criminal proceedings, action to recover duties and other taxes chargeable shall be taken in accordance with the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States in which the findings are deemed to have been made.
The provisions of this Regulation shall be without prejudice to agreements concluded or to be concluded between two or more Member States relating to the reduction or abolition of formalities at frontiers between them.
1. The Committee on the Movement of Goods established pursuant to Article 55 of Regulation (EEC) No 222/77 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1901/85 (2), may examine any question relating to the implementation of this Regulation that is placed before it by its chairman either on his own initiative or at the request of a representative of a Member State.
2. The provisions for the implementation of this Regulation shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 57 (2) and (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 222/77.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 July 1987.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

of 5 November 2010
concerning the authorisation of Enterococcus faecium DSM 7134 as a feed additive for chickens for fattening (holder of the authorisation Lactosan GmbH & Co KG)
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.
(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of the preparation set out in the Annex to this Regulation. The application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required pursuant to Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) The application concerns the authorisation of Enterococcus faecium DSM 7134 as a feed additive for chickens for fattening, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.
(4) The use of Enterococcus faecium DSM 7134 has been authorised for weaned piglets and pigs for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 538/2007 (2), for sows by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1521/2007 (3) and was provisionally authorised for 4 years for chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 521/2005 (4).
(5) New data were submitted in support of the application for the authorisation of the preparation for chickens for fattening. The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 27 May 2010 (5) that Enterococcus faecium DSM 7134, under the proposed conditions of use, does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that it has the potential to be efficacious, when fed to the target species, by improving zootechnical parameters. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(6) The assessment of Enterococcus faecium DSM 7134 shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of this preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘gut flora stabilisers’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

1999/282/EC: Council Decision of 22 April 1999 providing macro-financial assistance to Albania
|
COUNCIL DECISION
of 22 April 1999
providing macro-financial assistance to Albania
(1999/282/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the proposal of the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2),
(1) Whereas Albania has made substantial progress on the path to recovery from the effects of the economic and social crisis of early 1997; whereas it has successfully implemented an economic recovery programme to address the immediate effects of the crisis;
(2) Whereas trade, commercial and economic links between the Community and Albania are developing within the framework of the Agreement between the European Community and the Republic of Albania on trade and commercial and economic cooperation, signed at Brussels on 11 May 1992;
(3) Whereas Albania, which had been without a constitution since the fall of the communist regime, should have greater respect for human rights and strengthen the foundations of the rule of law as a result of the adoption of a new constitution on 22 November 1998;
(4) Whereas Albania should not deviate from pursuing the fundamental political and economic reforms undertaken to establish the rule of law and a full and complete democracy and to introduce a market economy which takes account of the need for social justice and environmental protection;
(5) Whereas Albania has agreed with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on a comprehensive set of stabilisation and policy reform measures to be supported by a loan under the Enhanced Structural Adjustment Facility (ESAF);
(6) Whereas Albania has agreed with the World Bank on a set of measures supporting banking reform and employment promotion, which are backed by a highly concessional Rehabilitation Loan; whereas it is intended that a Structural Adjustment Credit will support further structural adjustment measures;
(7) Whereas Albania is undertaking fundamental reforms to promote economic reform and build institutions with a strong implementation capacity; whereas the focus of reforms will be strongly centred on institution-building, on public administration and judicial reforms, on the development of public finance structures and financial control procedures and a strong and performing banking sector strengthened by detailed legislation governing the prudential supervision of credit institutions, on the establishment of a functioning agricultural land market and accelerating enterprise privatisation; whereas the government is firmly committed to modernising customs services on the basis of new codes, to a speedy winding up of the pyramid scheme companies and to combating corruption and organised crime which jeopardise political stability and economic order;
(8) Whereas the authorities of Albania have requested financial assistance for the first year of the medium-term programme from the international financial institutions, the Group of 24 industrialised countries (G-24), and the Community; whereas, over and above the estimated financing which would be provided by the IMF and the World Bank, an important residual financing gap remains to be covered; whereas Paris Club rescheduling and undisbursed pledges made at the Donors' Conference in October 1997 should help cover part of the external financing needed during the first year of the medium-term programme;
(9) Whereas assistance from the Community will be instrumental in supporting Albania's institutional and structural reforms; whereas a Community long-term loan to Albania is an appropriate measure to help ease the country's external financial constraints, support the balance of payments and strengthen the reserve position;
(10) Whereas Albania is a low-income country eligible for highly concessional loans and facilities from the World Bank and the IMF; whereas the Community will provide under the first year of the medium-term programme EUR 19,5 million support to the budget in the form of grants through the PHARE special assistance and the Community food security programme; whereas in these circumstances, the proposal EUR 20 million loan allows overall Community macro-financial support under the first arrangement under the ESAF to reach an appropriate degree of concessionality;
(11) Whereas the Community loan should be managed by the Commission;
(12) Whereas the Treaty does not provide, for the adoption of this Decision, powers other than those of Article 235,
1. The Community shall make available to Albania a long-term loan facility of a maximum principal amount of up to EUR 20 million with a maximum maturity of 15 years and a grace period of 10 years, with a view to ensuring a sustainable balance of payments situation and consolidating the country's reserve position.
2. To this end, the Commission shall be empowered to borrow, on behalf of the Community, the necessary resources that will be placed at the disposal of Albania in the form of a loan.
3. The loan referred to in paragraph 2 will be managed by the Commission in close consultation with the Economic and Financial Committee and in a manner consistent with any agreement reached between the IMF and Albania.
1.

COUNCIL DECISION
of 2 December 2005
concerning the effects of the accession of the Czech Republic and the Republic of Poland to the European Union on the participation of the European Community in the Convention on the International Commission for the Protection of the Oder and the Convention on the International Commission for the Protection of the Elbe
(2005/884/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the 2003 Act of Accession, and in particular Article 57 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The participation of the European Community in the Convention on the International Commission for the Protection of the Oder (1) and to the Convention on the International Commission for the Protection of the Elbe (2) (hereinafter referred to as the Oder and Elbe Conventions) was necessary because the two Conventions were concluded with third countries and addressed matters covered by Community environmental policy.
(2) As from 1 May 2004, after the accession of the Czech Republic and the Republic of Poland to the European Union, all Contracting Parties to the Oder and Elbe Conventions are Member States of the European Union. Therefore, the basis for the Community’s consent to be bound by such Conventions no longer exists. From this moment, the participation of the Community is no longer necessary or justified.
(3) Moreover, the enlargement of the European Union has had the effect of radically transforming the legal relations between the Contracting Parties. Upon accession, the underlying policy objectives of the Oder and Elbe Conventions may be achieved through the measures laid down in Community legislation.
(4) The 2003 Act of Accession has not specifically provided for this situation and it is therefore necessary to adopt the required measures in accordance with Article 57 thereof, which allows such omissions to be corrected.
(5) It should be therefore made clear that, with effect of the date of accession, the Community is no longer a party to the Oder and Elbe Conventions and that certain transitory measures may need to be taken,
1. The European Community has ceased to be a party to the Convention on the International Commission for the Protection of the Oder and to the Convention on the International Commission for the Protection of the Elbe with effect of 1 May 2004.
2. If appropriate, the Commission shall agree with the Czech Republic, the Federal Republic of Germany and the Republic of Poland solutions to any transitory problem which may result from the end of the participation of the Community in the Oder and Elbe Conventions.
This Decision is addressed to the Czech Republic, the Federal Republic of Germany and the Republic of Poland.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1047/2012
of 8 November 2012
amending Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 with regard to the list of nutrition claims
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 on nutrition and health claims made on foods (1), and in particular Article 8(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 provides that nutrition claims made on foods shall only be permitted if they are listed in the Annex to that Regulation, which also sets out the conditions of use of such claims.
(2) After consulting the Member States and the stakeholders, in particular food business operators and consumer groups, it was concluded that it is necessary to add new nutrition claims to the list of permitted nutrition claims and to modify the conditions of use of the claims already permitted by Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006.
(3) Salt has been used as a preservative and a taste enhancer. As new technology has developed and scientific advice on salt has become generally accepted, manufacturers are making efforts to produce more and more products without addition of salt where technologically feasible. However, the claim stating that salt/sodium has not been added to a particular food product is currently not permitted. Given the particular interest from the health point of view to encourage such innovation, it would be appropriate to enable manufacturers to inform consumers of this particular aspect of the production process. To avoid use of such a claim on food naturally high in sodium, its use should be limited to food low in sodium.
(4) The European Parliament in its Resolution of 2 February 2012 on the draft Commission Regulation amending Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 with regard to the list of nutrition claims estimated that a new nutrition claim allowing the communication of more modest reductions than the one allowed by the claim ‘light’, would run counter to the purpose and content of the basic instrument.
(5) Reduction in saturated fat is only beneficial when it is not substituted or when it is substituted by unsaturated fat. Substitution of saturated fat by trans-fatty acids is not beneficial for health and therefore the conditions of use of the nutrition claim referring to the reduction of saturated fat should be designed to avoid substitution by trans-fatty acids.
(6) Under current conditions, sugars reduction can be claimed even when sugars are replaced by fat, leading to a reformulated product higher in energy. The claim stating that sugars have been reduced should therefore be permitted only when the energy of the food does not increase after reformulation. Stricter conditions requesting an energy decrease corresponding to the sugars reduction would only be achievable for a very limited number of products and would thus severely restrict the use of the claim.
(7) The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, and neither the European Parliament nor the Council have opposed them,
The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
Products placed on the market prior to 1 June 2014 which do not comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 as amended by this Regulation may be marketed until the stocks are exhausted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of 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.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular Article 56 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 56 of the Act of Accession, where acts which remain valid beyond 1 January 2007 require adaptation by reason of accession, and the necessary adaptations have not been provided for in the Act of Accession or its Annexes, the necessary adaptations are to be adopted by the Commission in all cases where the Commission adopted the original act.
(2) The Final Act of the Conference which drew up the Treaty of Accession indicated that the High Contracting Parties had reached political agreement on a set of adaptations to acts adopted by the Institutions required by reason of accession and invited the Council and the Commission to adopt these adaptations before accession, completed and updated where necessary to take account of the evolution of the law of the Union.
(3) Commission Directive 2002/94/EC of 9 December 2002 laying down detailed rules for implementing certain provisions of Council Directive 76/308/EEC on mutual assistance for the recovery of claims relating to certain levies, duties, taxes and other measures (1) should therefore be amended accordingly,
Directive 2002/94/EC is amended as set out in the Annex.

|
Commission Regulation (EC) No 966/2003
of 5 June 2003
fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for molasses in the sugar sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sugar(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 of 23 June 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for imports of molasses in the sugar sector and amending Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 79/2003(4), and in particular Article 1(2) and Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 stipulates that the cif import price for molasses, hereinafter referred to as the "representative price", should be set in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(5). That price should be fixed for the standard quality defined in Article 1 of the above Regulation.
(2) The representative price for molasses is calculated at the frontier crossing point into the Community, in this case Amsterdam; that price must be based on the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market established on the basis of the quotations or prices on that market adjusted for any deviations from the standard quality. The standard quality for molasses is defined in Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(3) When the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market are being established, account must be taken of all available information on offers on the world market, on the prices recorded on important third-country markets and on sales concluded in international trade of which the Commission is aware, either directly or through the Member States. Under Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68, the Commission may for this purpose take an average of several prices as a basis, provided that this average is representative of actual market trends.
(4) The information must be disregarded if the goods concerned are not of sound and fair marketable quality or if the price quoted in the offer relates only to a small quantity that is not representative of the market. Offer prices which can be regarded as not representative of actual market trends must also be disregarded.
(5) If information on molasses of the standard quality is to be comparable, prices must, depending on the quality of the molasses offered, be increased or reduced in the light of the results achieved by applying Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(6) A representative price may be left unchanged by way of exception for a limited period if the offer price which served as a basis for the previous calculation of the representative price is not available to the Commission and if the offer prices which are available and which appear not to be sufficiently representative of actual market trends would entail sudden and considerable changes in the representative price.
(7) Where there is a difference between the trigger price for the product in question and the representative price, additional import duties should be fixed under the conditions set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95. Should the import duties be suspended pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95, specific amounts for these duties should be fixed.
(8) Application of these provisions will have the effect of fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for the products in question as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The representative prices and the additional duties applying to imports of the products referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 are fixed in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 6 June 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

of 22 September 2003
amending Regulation (EC) No 1796/1999 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty, and collecting definitively the provisional duty imposed, on imports of steel ropes and cables originating, inter alia, in Poland and Ukraine
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 Articles 8 and 9 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission, after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE
(1) On 20 May 1998, an anti-dumping proceeding was initiated by the Commission(2) on imports of steel ropes and cables (SWR) originating, inter alia, in Ukraine.
(2) On 30 July 1998, an anti-dumping proceeding was initiated by the Commission(3) on imports of SWR originating, inter alia, in Poland.
(3) Provisional measures were imposed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 362/1999(4). In parallel, the Commission accepted, inter alia, a price undertaking from the Polish exporting producer Drumet (Drumet) under Article 2(1) of the said Regulation. Imports of the products covered produced and directly exported to the Community by Drumet were exempted from the anti-dumping duty by Article 1(3) of the said Regulation.
(4) These proceedings were combined and ultimately resulted in a definitive anti-dumping duty being imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1796/1999(5) in order to eliminate the injurious effects of dumping. Drumet continued to be exempted from the definitive duties by virtue of and subject to its undertaking.
(5) Furthermore, the Commission accepted a price undertaking from, inter alia, the Ukrainian exporting producer Joint Stock Company Silur (Silur) by Commission Decision 1999/572/EC(6).
B. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE UNDERTAKING
1. Drumet (Poland)
(6) The undertaking accepted from Drumet only applied to imports into the Community of SWR which have been produced and sold directly (i.e. invoiced and shipped) by Drumet to its first unrelated customers in the Community (Clause 2 of the undertaking).
(7) Furthermore, Drumet undertook not to circumvent the provisions of the undertaking, inter alia, "by any other means", according to Clause 6 of the undertaking.
(8) Following verifications by the Commission services in charge of the monitoring of the undertaking, it was established that Drumet had committed two types of breaches of the above obligations. Firstly, it had not sold all its exports of SWR to the Community directly to unrelated importers, but via a related importer in the Community. Secondly, it had repeatedly submitted misleading information about the relationship with this importer, thus not only breaching Clause 6 of the undertaking, but also the relationship of trust established with the Commission which was the basis for acceptance of any undertaking. Commission Regulation (EC) No 1678/2003(7) sets out in detail the nature of the breaches found.
(9) Acceptance of the undertaking has been withdrawn by means of the abovementioned Commission Regulation and, therefore, in accordance with Articles 8 and 9 of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, definitive anti-dumping duties should be imposed forthwith on imports of the product concerned manufactured by Drumet.
2. Silur (Ukraine)
(10) Silur undertook, inter alia, not to circumvent the provisions of the undertaking by making misleading declarations regarding the origin of SWR or by any other means. Furthermore, the scope of the undertaking is limited to certain product types of SWR (SWR covered). SWR other than SWR covered are subject to the payment of the anti-dumping duty.
(11) An investigation carried out by the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) revealed that imports of SWR into the Community which had been produced by Silur were, with Silur's knowledge, imported into the Community with a declared false origin. Furthermore, it was established that SWR other than SWR covered had been sold to the Community as if they were covered by the undertaking and thus unduly benefiting from the exemption of the payment of the anti-dumping duties. Commission Regulation (EC) No 1678/2003 sets out in detail the nature of the breaches found.
(12) In the circumstances, acceptance of the undertaking has been withdrawn by the abovementioned Commission Regulation, upon the request of Silur. Therefore in accordance with Articles 8 and 9 of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, definitive anti-dumping duties should be imposed forthwith on imports of the product concerned manufactured by Silur.
C. AMENDMENT OF REGULATION (EC) No 1796/1999
(13) In view of the withdrawal of the undertakings and pursuant to Article 8(9) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1796/1999 should be amended, and goods manufactured by Drumet and Silur should be subject to the appropriate rate of anti-dumping duty for each company as set out in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1796/1999 (27,9 % for Drumet and 51,8 % for Silur),
1. In the table in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1796/1999 the TARIC additional code concerning Ukraine " 8900 " shall be replaced by "-".
2. The table in Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1796/1999 shall be replaced by the following:

(2) In compliance with the above criteria, the standard import values must be fixed at the levels set out in the Annex to this Regulation,
The standard import values referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 3223/94 shall be fixed as indicated in the Annex hereto.

of 25 June 2002
amending Regulation (EC) No 3050/95 temporarily suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on a number of products intended for the construction, maintenance and repair of aircraft
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 26 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) By Regulation (EC) No 3050/95(1) Common Customs Tariff duties for a number of products intended for the construction, maintenance and repair of aircraft were suspended in full. However, import duties for these products are only suspended when they are subject to an end-use control in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code(2) (hereinafter referred to as the "Customs Code") and 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(3), that is to say, when they are used for aircraft only.
(2) Similar tariff suspensions combined with the same end-use provisions of the Customs Code were introduced in Section II, B, of the Preliminary Provisions of the Combined Nomenclature in connection with the GATT aircraft agreement. The end-use for these products was the manufacture, repair, maintenance, rebuilding, modification or conversion, not only of civil aircraft, but also of ground flying trainers for civil use.
(3) In view of the above it is appropriate to amend Regulation (EC) No 3050/95 in order to align its end-use provision with the provisions of the Combined Nomenclature and to extend the autonomous tariff suspension introduced by Regulation (EC) No 3050/95 to ground flying trainers for civil use. The extension will also simplify the administration and control of the end-use for the economic operators and the customs authorities.
(4) Having regard to the economic importance of this Regulation, it is necessary to invoke the ground of urgency provided for in point I(3) of the Protocol annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaties establishing the European Communities on the role of national parliaments in the European Union,
In Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 3050/95, the first sentence shall be replaced by the following: "The autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties for the products listed in the Annex shall be totally suspended, provided that those products are intended for the construction, maintenance and repair of aircraft of an unladen weight exceeding 2000 kilograms and of ground flying trainers for civil use."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 July 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 639/1999
of 25 March 1999
concerning the authorisation of a new additive in feedingstuffs
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concerning additives in feedingstuffs [1], as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 45/1999 [2], and in particular Articles 9j and 3 thereof,
Whereas Directive 70/524/EEC provides that new additives or uses of additives may be authorised, taking account of advances in scientific and technical knowledge;
Whereas a new additive belonging to the group "Trace elements", and more specifically to the element "Copper-Cu" has been tested successfully in some Member States; whereas the new additive should be provisionally authorised;
Whereas a provisional authorisation of new additives or uses of additives may be given if, at the level permitted in feedingstuffs, it does not adversely affect human or animal health or the environment, nor harm the consumer by altering the characteristics of livestock product, if its presence in feedingstuffs can be controlled, and it is reasonable to assume, in view of the available results, that it has a favourable effect on the characteristics of those feedingstuffs or on livestock production when incorporated in such feedingstuffs;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Feedingstuffs,
The substance "copper-lysine sulphate", belonging to the group of "trace elements", element E4 "Copper-Cu", may be authorised in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as an additive in feedingstuffs under the conditions laid down in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 April 1999.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Council Regulation (EEC) No 1707/86 of 30 May 1986 on the conditions governing imports of agricultural products originating in third countries following the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power-station
|
// // REGULATION (EEC) No 1707/86
of 30 May 1986
on the conditions governing imports of agricultural products originating in third countries following the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power-station
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, following the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power-station on 26 April 1986, considerable quantities of radioactive elements were released into the atmosphere;
Whereas the provisional measures adopted by Regulation (EEC) No 1388/86 (1) should be replaced by an arrangement which enables imports to be reinstated, providing that maximum permitted levels are imposed; whereas, however, these levels applicable to third countries might need to be re-examined in the light of Community decisions regarding internal permitted contamination levels;
Whereas the Community must seek to ensure that agricultural products and processed agricultural products intended for human consumption and likely to be contaminated are introduced into the Community only according to common arrangements which safeguard the health of consumers, maintain, without having unduly adverse effects on trade between the Community and third countries, the unified nature of the market and prevent deflections of trade;
Whereas the subject of minimum reference levels is still in need of more thorough scientific study but it is nevertheless desirable that, for reasons of urgency and by means of an emergency procedure, interim maximum permitted limits should be established, with which imports of the products concerned must comply and in connection with which checks will be carried out by the Member States,
Whereas, since this Regulation covers all agricultural products and processed agricultural products intended for human consumption, there is no need, in the present case, to apply the procedure provided for in Article 29 of Directive 72/462/EEC (2);
Whereas compliance with the maximum permitted levels will have to be the subject of appropriate checks backed up by the possibility of prohibiting imports in cases of non-compliance;
Whereas, in order to supplement, clarify or adjust, as necessary, the measures provided for by this Regulation, a simplified procedure should be established;
Whereas adoption of this Regulation in its present form appears necessary in order to satisfy overriding and immediate requirements as mentioned in the third recital,
This Regulation shall apply to the products covered by Annex II to the Treaty and to the products covered by Regulations (EEC) No 2730/75 (3), (EEC) No 2783/75 (4), (EEC) No 3033/80 (5) and (EEC) No 3035/80 (6) originating in third countries, with the exception of the products referred to in the Annex to this Regulation.
Without prejudice to other provisions in force, the release for free circulation of the products referred to in Article 1 shall be subject to compliance with the maximum permitted levels laid down in Article 3.
The maximum permitted levels referred to in Article 2 shall be as follows:
the accumulated maximum radioactive level in terms of caesium-134 and -137 shall be:
- 370 Bq/kg for milk falling within headings No 04.01 and No 04.02 of Common Customs Tariff and for foodstuffs intended for the special feeding of infants during the first four to six months of life, which meet, in themselves, the nutritional requirements of this category of person and are put up for retail sale in packages which are clearly identified and labelled 'food preparation for infants' (7),
- 600Bq/kg for all other products concerned.
1. Member States shall check compliance with the maximum permitted levels set in Article 3 in respect of the products referred to in Article 1, taking into account contamination levels in the country of origin. Checking
may also include the presentation of export certificates. Depending on the results of the checks carried out, Member States shall take the measures required for Article 2 to apply, including the prohibition of release for free circulation, taking each case individually or generally for a given product.
2. Each Member State shall provide the Commission with all information concerning the application of this Regulation, notably cases of non-compliance with the maximum permitted levels. The Commission shall circulate such information to the other Member States.
Where cases of repeated non-compliance with the maximum permitted levels have been recorded, the necessary measures may be taken in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 6. Such measures may even include the prohibition of the import of products originating in the third country concerned.
1. The arrangements for applying this Regulation and any amendments to be made to the list of products unfit for human consumption, as listed in the Annex, shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 30 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 (1), which shall apply by analogy.
2. To this end an ad hoc committee shall be set up, composed of representatives from the Member States and chaired by a representative from the Commission.
Within the Committee the votes of the Member States shall be weighted in accordance with Article 148 (2) of the Treaty. The Chairman shall not vote.
This Regulation shall expire on 30 September 1986.
Regulation (EEC) No 1388/86 is hereby repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

of 17 September 2010
amending Regulation (EC) No 1828/2006 setting out rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 laying down general provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund and the Cohesion Fund and of Regulation (EC) No 1080/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the European Regional Development Fund
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 of 11 July 2006 laying down general provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund and the Cohesion Fund and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 (1), and in particular Articles 44, 66(3) and 76(4) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1080/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 July 2006 on the European Regional Development Fund and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1783/1999 (2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 7(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006, as amended by Regulation (EU) No 539/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), simplifies and clarifies certain requirements as regards major projects, financial engineering instruments and reporting on financial progress of operational programmes. It is therefore necessary to align the provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1828/2006 (4) with Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 as amended.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1080/2006, as amended by Regulation (EU) No 437/2010 (5) provides for eligibility of housing interventions in favour of marginalised communities. It is therefore necessary to align the provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1828/2006 with Regulation (EC) No 1080/2006 as amended.
(3) It is necessary to clarify that the implementation of financial engineering also covers funds or other incentive schemes for energy efficiency and use of renewable energy in buildings, including existing housing.
(4) It is necessary to define the conditions for eligible housing interventions in favour of marginalised communities in the context of an integrated approach, with particular regard to the desegregation measures.
(5) In order to facilitate the provision of data by Member States and the processing of data by the Commission, it is necessary to simplify the requirements on financial information to be provided in the annual and final reports on the implementation of an operational programme.
(6) The threshold for projects to be considered major projects has been raised to EUR 50 million. In order to ensure appropriate monitoring of environmental projects with total investment costs between EUR 25 and 50 million, it is necessary to provide for an obligation to include information on those projects in the annual and final reports on implementation of an operational programme.
(7) Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 now allows a major project to cover more than one operational programme. It is therefore necessary to update the type of structured data to be provided on major projects and to update the forms for requests for assistance for major projects.
(8) Regulation (EC) No 1828/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9) For reasons of coherence it is appropriate that the amendments to Regulation (EC) No 1828/2006 apply from the same date as Regulation (EU) No 539/2010 and Regulation (EU) No 437/2010.
(10) It is necessary that all the advantages to beneficiaries which result from Regulation (EU) No 539/2010 and Regulation (EU) No 437/2010 apply as soon as possible. Therefore, this Regulation should enter into force as a matter of urgency.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Coordination Committee of the Funds,
Regulation (EC) No 1828/2006 is amended as follows:
(1) Article 43 is amended as follows:
(a) paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:
(a) enterprises, primarily small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), including micro-enterprises, as defined in Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC (6) as of 1 January 2005;
(b) public-private partnerships or other urban projects included in integrated plans for sustainable urban development, in the case of urban development funds;
(c) funds or other incentive schemes for energy efficiency and use of renewable energy in buildings, including in existing housing.
(b) paragraph 6 is replaced by the following:
(2) In Article 44, paragraph 1 is amended as follows:
(a) point (a) is replaced by the following:
‘(a) as regards financial engineering instruments supporting enterprises, primarily SMEs, including micro-enterprises, the conclusions of an evaluation of gaps between supply of such instruments, and demand for such instruments;’
(b) the following point (c) is added:
‘(c) as regards funds or other incentive schemes for energy efficiency and use of renewable energy in buildings, including in existing housing the relevant Union and national regulatory frameworks and the relevant national strategies.’
(3) Article 45 is amended as follows:
(a) the title is replaced by the following:
(b) the first paragraph is replaced by the following:
(4) In Article 47, paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:
(a) such housing investment is part of an integrated approach and support for housing interventions for marginalized communities takes place together with other types of interventions including interventions in the areas of education, health, social inclusion and employment;
(b) the physical location of such housing ensures spatial integration of these communities into mainstream society and does not contribute to segregation, isolation and exclusion.’
(5) Annex XVIII is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation.
(6) Annexes XX, XXI and XXII are replaced by the text set out in Annex II to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 25 June 2010.
However, point (4) of Article 1 shall apply from 18 June 2010.

|
COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 3337/93 of 3 December 1993 adopting exceptional support measures for the market in pigmeat in Belgium
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1249/89 (2), and in particular Articles 20 and 22 (2) thereof,
Whereas, because of the outbreak of classical swine fever in certain production regions in Belgium, protection zones have been established by the Belgian authorities pursuant to Article 9 of Council Directive 80/217/EEC of 22 January 1980 introducing Community measures for the control of classical swine fever (3), as last amended by Directive 93/384/EEC (4); whereas, consequently, in these zones the trade in live pigs, fresh pigmeat and pigmeat products which have not been subjected to heat treatment is temporarily prohibited;
Whereas restrictions on the free movement of goods resulting from the application of veterinary measures are likely to bring about a serious disturbance of the market for pigmeat in Belgium; whereas exceptional market support measures, to apply for no longer than is strictly necessary, must accordingly be adopted with respect solely to live animals from the affected areas;
Whereas, with the aim of preventing a further spread of the disease, the pigs produced in the protection zones should be separated from normal trade in products intended for human consumption and processed into products intended for uses other than human consumption;
Whereas a buying-in price should be fixed at which piglets and live pigs in the protection zones are to be taken over by the intervention agency; whereas with the aim of preventing misuse, the buying in of piglets which are fattened on closed-circuit holdings should be excluded;
Whereas provision should be made for the Belgian authorities to adopt all necessary control and surveillance measures and to inform the Commission accordingly;
Whereas the restrictions on the free movement of live pigs have been operative for several weeks now in the zones in question, provoking a substantial increase in the weight of the animals and leading to an intolerable situation where the welfare of the animals is concerned; whereas retroactive application of this Regulation from 22 November 1993 is therefore justified;
Whereas the Management Committee for Pigmeat has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
1. From 22 November until 22 December 1993 the Belgian intervention agency shall buy live pigs weighing more than 110 kilograms on average per lot and piglets weighing more than 25 kilograms on average per lot.
2. The purchase of the first 217 000 live pigs and first 122 500 piglets shall be financed from the Community budget.
3. Belgium is hereby authorized to purchase, in addition, at its own expense and on the terms laid down in this Regulation, a further 93 000 live pigs and 52 500 piglets.
1. Only live pigs and piglets raised in the zones listed in Annex I to this Regulation can be bought in, provided that the veterinary provisions laid down by the Belgian authorities still apply in the areas on the day the animals are bought in.
2. Only piglets can be bought in which are not fattened in a closed-circuit holding or which cannot be used by a closed-circuit holding for its own purposes.
On the day they are bought in, the animals shall be weighed and slaughtered in such a way as to prevent the disease from spreading.
They shall be transported without delay to a rendering plant and processed into products falling with CN codes 1501 00 11, 1506 00 00 and 2301 10 00.
However, the pigs may be transported to a slaughterhouse where they shall be slaughtered forthwith and may be stored as whole or half carcases in a cold store before being transported to a rendering plant. In this case, the whole or half carcases are presented to the rendering plant in accordance with the provisions laid down in Annex II.
These operations shall be carried out under permanent supervision of the competent Belgian authorities.
1. The farm-gate buying-in price of live pigs weighing more than 110 kilograms on average per lot shall be ECU 110 per 100 kilograms slaughtered weight.
Where the average weight per lot is less than 110 kilograms but more than 106 kilograms, the buying-in price shall be ECU 93 per 100 kilograms. In both cases, a coefficient of 0,83 is applied on the buying-in price.
2. The farm-gate buying-in price for piglets shall be ECU 28 per head.
Where the average weight per lot is less than 25 kilograms but more than 24 kilograms, the buying-in price shall be ECU 24 per head.
The competent Belgian authorities shall adopt all measures necessary to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Regulation and in particular with Article 2 hereof. They shall inform the Commission accordingly as soon as possible.
The competent Belgian authorities shall send the Commission each Wednesday the following information concerning the previous week:
- the number and total weight of the pigs bought in,
- the number and total weight of young piglets bought in.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 22 November 1993.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(1) Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1201/89 of 3 May 1989 laying down rules implementing the system of aid for cotton(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1664/98(5), lays down 31 March as the time limit for lodging applications for supervised storage of unginned cotton but allows the Member State to set a later time limit under certain conditions; whereas for the 1998/1999 marketing year Greece used that provision by setting the time limit for lodging applications for supervised storage at 31 January 1999; whereas, as a result of exceptional weather conditions, it proved impossible to harvest the unginned cotton until the beginning of March 1999 in certain Greek prefectures; whereas, therefore, the start of supervised storage and the lodging of the corresponding aid applications should be accepted without penalty for the unginned cotton originating in those prefectures up to a date allowing for the other time limits in the rules to be complied with;
(2) Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Flax and Hemp,

Whereas under Article 4 (4) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 3792/85 these quotas are added to the quotas determined under Article 269 of the Act of Accession and Article 269 (2) (d) applies to the combined quotas; whereas consequently the quantitative restrictions in force in Portugal against Spanish products are abolished if imports into Portugal from the other Member States are in two consecutive years less than 90 % of the total annual quotas opened; whereas final import statistics show that for turkey and chicken chicks and for certain eggs in shell this percentage was not reached in either 1986 or 1987; whereas the quotas for these products should therefore be abolished;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Eggs and Poultrymeat,
The Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 4009/87 is replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Council Directive 2000/27/EC
of 2 May 2000
amending Directive 93/53/EEC introducing minimum Community measures for the control of certain fish diseases
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 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:
(1) Council Directive 93/53/EEC(4) lays down that, in order to control an outbreak of, inter alia, infectious salmon anaemia (ISA), all fish in an infected farm are to be immediately withdrawn.
(2) In May 1998, an outbreak of this disease occurred in Scotland, involving a number of sites that are infected or are suspected of being infected.
(3) Experience gained has shown that it is possible to spread the withdrawal over a period of time, without impairing the efforts to eradicate the disease.
(4) Under certain conditions, the application of provisions on vaccination may offer a new tool for controlling and containing ISA after an outbreak; at present no such option is provided for under Community legislation.
(5) It is desirable to investigate fully the source of ISA, possible spread of the disease and the interchange between farmed and wild salmon.
(6) No Community compensation has been payable to salmon farmers for the compulsory withdrawal of entire salmon farms under Directive 93/53/EEC.
(7) The measures necessary for the implementation of Directive 93/53/EEC are to be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission(5).
(8) Given the current state of scientific and technical evidence, Directive 95/53/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9) Given the urgency of the matter it is imperative to grant an exception to the six-week period mentioned in part I point (3) of the Protocol on the role of national parliaments of the European Union annexed to the Treaty of Amsterdam,
Directive 93/53/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. The first indent of point (a) of Article 6 shall be replaced by the following text:
"- all fish shall be withdrawn in accordance with a scheme established by the official service and approved by the Commission in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 19(2)."
2. Paragraph 1 of Article 14 shall be replaced by the following text:
"1. Vaccination against list II diseases in approved zones, in approved farms situated in non-approved zones or in zones or farms which have already begun the approval procedures laid down by Directive 91/67/EEC and against list I diseases shall be forbidden.
However, by way of derogation, vaccination may be authorised in the case of an outbreak of list I diseases provided the procedures for vaccination are specified in the approved contingency plans in accordance with Article 15 and account is taken of the criteria set out in Annex E."
3. A new Article shall be added:
"Article 18a
The measures necessary for the implementation of this Directive concerning the measures referred to in the Articles listed hereinafter are to be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedures referred to in Article 19(2):
- Article 5(2),
- Article 6,
- Article 10(1) and (2),
- Article 12,
- Article 15,
- Article 16
- Article 18, second subparagraph."
4. Article 19 shall be replaced with the following:
"Article 19
1. The Commission shall be assisted by the Standing Veterinary Committee established by Decision 68/361/EEC(6), hereinafter referred to as the Committee.
2. Where reference is made to this paragraph, Articles 5 and 7 of Decision 1999/468/EC shall apply.
The period provided for in Article 5(6) of Decision 1999/468/EC shall be three months.
3. The Committee shall adopt its rules of procedure."
5. Annex E attached to this Directive shall be adopted.
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions to comply with this Directive by 31 December 2000. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
They shall apply those provisions not later than 1 January 2001.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of making such a reference shall be laid down by the Member States.
Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive. The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.
This Directive shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

(Text with EEA relevance)
(2003/827/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine, ovine and caprine animals and swine, fresh meat or meat products from third countries(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 807/2003(2), and in particular Articles 14, 15 and 16 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 98/371/EC(3), as last amended by Decision 2003/742/EC(4), governs animal health conditions and veterinary certification for imports of fresh meat from certain European countries.
(2) For animal health reasons, and in particular to control classical swine fever, imports of fresh pigmeat for human consumption from Slovenia were not authorised.
(3) Slovenia has requested authorisation to export pigmeat to the Community supporting this request with information on the health status of swine in Slovenia and the control of classical swine fever.
(4) In May 2003 the Commission carried out a veterinary mission to assess the animal health situation in Slovenia.
(5) On the basis of the mission report and further information provided by Slovenia, the health status of swine in Slovenia appears to be satisfactory as regards classical swine fever.
(6) The import of pigmeat for human consumption from Slovenia into the Community should therefore be authorised subject to certain conditions relating to the use of catering waste for feeding to swine.
(7) For the purpose of exporting pigmeat, Slovenia has undertaken to draw up a list of pig holdings subject to regular veterinary supervisions and appropriate controls to exclude any use of catering waste for feeding to swine.
(8) Decision 98/371/EC should be amended accordingly.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annexes I and II to Decision 98/371/EC are replaced by the text in the Annexes to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1203/95 of 29 May 1995 opening and providing for the administration of tariff quotas for high-quality fresh, chilled and frozen beef and for frozen buffalo meat for the period 1 July 1995 to 30 June 1996
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 424/95 (2), and in particular Article 12 (1) and (4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 774/94 of 29 March 1994 opening and providing for the administration of certain Community tariff quotas for high-quality beef, and for pigmeat, poultrymeat, wheat and meslin, and brans, sharps and other residues (3), and in particular Articles 7 and 8 thereof,
Whereas the Community has undertaken, pursuant to the Agreement on Agriculture concluded under the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations, to open annual tariff quotas for 54 300 tonnes of high-quality beef and 2 250 tonnes of frozen buffalo meat; whereas those quotas should be opened and detailed rules should be adopted for their application for the period 1 July 1995 to 30 June 1996;
Whereas an annual quota of 18 000 tonnes was opened for the high-quality meat in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 774/95; whereas the abovementioned Agreement on Agriculture as approved by Council Decision 94/824/EC (4), increases that quantity to 20 000 tonnes; whereas, in order to observe that increase and to permit all the Community's quota obligations in this area to be fulfilled efficiently and coherently, this Regulation should incorporate that quantity;
Whereas in particular all interested traders within the Community should be guaranteed equal and continuing access to the said quotas and the customs duties laid down for those quotas should apply without interruption to all imports of the products in question until the quotas are exhausted;
Whereas the exporting third countries have undertaken to issue certificates of authenticity guaranteeing the origin of the products; whereas the form and layout of the certificates and the procedures for using them must be specified; whereas certificates of authenticity must be issued by authorities in third countries affording all the necessary guarantees to ensure that the arrangements concerned are properly applied;
Whereas the implementation of the abovementioned Agreement requires the special detailed rules governing the import licensing arrangements for beef and veal, currently laid down in 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 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1084/94 (6), to be recast before 1 July 1995; whereas, to prevent problems from arising in the practical application of the current quotas, that Regulation should not apply and this Regulation should lay down the necessary special detailed rules concerning the import licences required;
Whereas, in order to ensure proper management of the imports of meat, provision should be made, where relevant, for import licences to be issued subject to verification, in particular of entries on certificates of authenticity;
Whereas provision should be made for the Member States to forward information concerning such imports;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
1. The following tariff quotas are hereby opened for the period 1 July 1995 to 30 June 1996:

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 of 15 October 1993 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the fixing and granting of adjusted refunds in respect of cereals exported in the form of certain spirit drinks (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 4(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 lays down that the quantities of cereals eligible for the refund shall be the quantities placed under control and distilled, weighted by a coefficient to be fixed annually for each Member State concerned. The coefficient is to express the average ratio between the total quantities exported and the total quantities marketed of the spirit drink concerned, on the basis of the trend noted in those quantities during the number of years corresponding to the average ageing period of the spirit drink in question.
(2) In view of the information provided by the United Kingdom on the period 1 January to 31 December 2005, the average ageing period in 2005 was eight years for Scotch whisky.
(3) The coefficients for the period from 1 October 2006 to 30 September 2007 should therefore be fixed accordingly.
(4) Article 10 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement on the European Economic Area precludes the grant of refunds in respect of exports to Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway. Moreover, the Community has concluded with certain third countries agreements abolishing export refunds. According to Article 7(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93, this should be taken into account in the calculation of the coefficients for the period 2006/2007,
For the period 1 October 2006 to 30 September 2007, the coefficients provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 applying to cereals used in the United Kingdom for manufacturing Scotch whisky shall be as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 October 2006.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 22 June 2006
establishing a common fiscal marker for gas oils and kerosene
(notified under document number C(2006) 2383)
(2006/428/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 95/60/EC of 27 November 1995 on fiscal marking of gas oils and kerosene (1), and in particular Article 2(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) For the proper functioning of the internal market, and in particular to prevent tax evasion, Directive 95/60/EC provides for a common marking system to identify gas oils, falling within CN code 2710 00 69, and kerosene, falling within CN code 2710 00 55, which have been released for consumption exempt from excise duty, or subject to a reduced excise duty rate. Since 2002, the first code has been split into CN codes 2710 19 41, 2710 19 45 and 2710 19 49, in order to take into account the sulphur content of gas oil, and the second code has been transposed as CN code 2710 19 25.
(2) Commission Decision 2001/574/EC (2) established the product identified by the scientific name N-ethyl-N-[2-(1-isobutoxyethoxy)ethyl]-4-(phenylazo)aniline (Solvent Yellow 124) as the common fiscal marker provided for by Directive 95/60/EC, for the marking of gas oils and kerosene which have not borne duty at the full rate applicable to such mineral oils used as propellant.
(3) Article 2 of Decision 2001/574/EC requires that the Decision be reviewed by 31 December 2006 at the latest, in the light of technical developments in the field of marking systems and taking into account the need to counteract fraudulent use of mineral oils exempt from excise duty, or subject to a reduced excise duty rate.
(4) As part of the review process a consultation of the Member States was undertaken. Member States are generally satisfied that Solvent Yellow 124 has met its objectives of counteracting fraudulent use of mineral oils exempt from excise duty, or subject to a reduced excise duty rate.
(5) No problems have been reported with regard to the health and environmental effects of the use of Solvent Yellow 124.
(6) No alternative product, as a potential replacement for Solvent Yellow 124, meeting all the criteria under which Solvent Yellow 124 was selected as the common fiscal marker, has been presented or supported so far with the relevant scientific information.
(7) Consequently, Solvent Yellow 124 should continue to be used as the common fiscal marker within the meaning of Directive 95/60/EC and subject to the conditions set out in that Directive.
(8) This Decision does not release any undertaking from its obligations under Article 82 of the Treaty.
(9) The opportunities offered by future developments in science should be taken into account by setting a time limit for the review of this Decision.
(10) However, a review of this Decision should be undertaken at any time prior to this time limit if Solvent Yellow 124 is found to be causing additional health or environmental damage.
(11) In the interests of clarity and transparency Decision 2001/574/EC should be replaced.
(12) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Excise Duties,
The common fiscal marker provided for by Directive 95/60/EC, for the marking of all gas oils falling within CN codes 2710 19 41, 2710 19 45, and 2710 19 49, as well as of kerosene falling within CN code 2710 19 25, shall be Solvent Yellow 124, as specified in the Annex to this Decision.
Member States shall fix a marking level of at least 6 mg and not more than 9 mg of marker per litre of mineral oil.
This Decision shall be reviewed by 31 December 2011 at the latest, taking into account technical developments in the field of marking systems and the need to counteract fraudulent use of mineral oils exempt from excise duty or subject to a reduced excise duty rate.
An earlier review shall be undertaken if it is found that Solvent Yellow 124 is causing additional health or environmental damage.
Decision 2001/574/EC is repealed.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

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 the activities of the different Structural Funds between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2082/93 (2), and in particular Article 10 (1) last subparagraph thereof,

Whereas, in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, the Commission is charged with ensuring, within the framework of the partnership, coordination and consistency between assistance from the Funds and assistance provided by the EIB and the other financial instruments, including the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) and the other actions for structural purposes;
Whereas the EIB has been involved in the drawing up of the single programming document in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, applicable by analogy in the establishment of the single programming document; whereas it has declared itself prepared to contribute to the implementation of this document on the basis of the forecast loan packages shown in this Decision and in conformity with its statutory provisions;
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 amended by Regulation (EC) No 402/94 (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, referring specifically to the measures eligible pursuant to Objective 1;

Whereas certain measures planned under this single programming document include the part-financing of aid schemes which have not been approved by the Commission; whereas the financial commitments should be reduced by the amounts corresponding to the said measures until the aid schemes are approved by the Commission;
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 and the FIFG;
Whereas Article 1 of the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (14), as last amended by Regulation (Euratom, ECSC, EEC) No 610/90 (15), 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;

The single programming document for Community structural assistance in the region of Guadeloupe concerned by Objective 1 in France, covering the period 1 January 1994 to 31 December 1999, is hereby approved.
The single programming document includes the following essential information:
(a) a statement of the main priorities for joint action, their specific quantified objectives, an appraisal of their expected impact and their consistency with economic, social and regional policies in Guadeloupe;
the main priorities are:
1. Seeking social balance - Development of human resources;

- the financial implementation provisions,
- the rules for compliance with Community policies;
(d) the procedures for verifying additionality and an initial evaluation of the latter;

For the purpose of indexation, the annual breakdown of the global maximal allocation foreseen for the assistance from the Structural Funds and the FIFG is as follows:
"ECU million (1994 prices) "" ID="1">1994 > ID="2">47,42 "> ID="1">1995 > ID="2">51,20 "> ID="1">1996 > ID="2">54,82 "> ID="1">1997 > ID="2">58,76 "> ID="1">1998 > ID="2">63,80 "> ID="1">1999 > ID="2">69,00 "> ID="1">Total > ID="2">345,00">
The assistance from the Structural Funds and the FIFG granted to the single programming document amounts to a maximum of ECU 344,84 million, after deduction of an amount of ECU 160 000 reserved for technical assistance on the initiative of the Commission.
The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds to the various priorities and measures which the single programming document comprises, is set out in the financing plan annexed to this Decision (16).
The national financial contribution as indicated in the financing plan may be met in part by Community loans from the European Investment Bank and other types of loans. In indicative terms, EIB loans could reach ECU 150 million for all Objective 1 regions in France.
1. The breakdown among the Structural Funds and the FIFG of the total Community assistance available is as follows:
- ERDFECU 159,84 million
- ESFECU 104,30 million

- FIFGECU 6,20 million.
2. The budgetary commitment for the first instalment is as follows:
- ERDFECU 23,567 million
- ESFECU 11,931 million
- EAGGF, Guidance SectionECU 10,282 million
- FIFGECU 0,800 million.
Commitments of subsequent instalments will be based on the financing plan for the single programming document and on progress in its implementation.
The breakdown among the Structural Funds and the FIFG 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 reprogramming decided according to the procedure laid down in Article 25 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88.
This Decision is without prejudice to the Commission's position on the aid schemes in the measures 204, 'aids for capital equipment in firms' and 208, 'improvement of financial engineering of firms'. In accordance with Articles 92 and 93 of the Treaty, the aid schemes must be approved by the Commission and hence the financial commitments shall be reduced by the amounts corresponding to the said measures until the aid schemes are approved by the Commission.
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 7, 30, 48, 52 and 59 of the EC Treaty and the Community directives on the coordination of procedures for the award of contracts.
