Whereas, in view of the serious difficulties on the market in sheepmeat in France, private storage aid should be granted in region 2; whereas the total quantity for which storage contracts may be concluded should, however, be limited to 1 500 tonnes;
Whereas the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2659/80 (3) should be followed in respect of the grant of private storage aid for sheepmeat;
Whereas provisions should be adopted to ensure that the animals involved are slaughtered exclusively in slaughterhouses which are approved and supervised in accordance with the provisions of Council Directive 64/433/EEC (4), as last amended by Directive 83/90/EEC (5);
Whereas Article 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2644/80 (6) provides that, if the market situation so requires, the period of storage may be curtailed or extended; whereas it is therefore appropriate that, in addition to the amounts of aid granted for a specific storage period, amounts to be added or reduced in the event of that period being extended or curtailed should also be fixed;
Whereas foreseeable market conditions make it necessary to provide for storage periods of between three and six months or between five and eight months, depending on the cuts of meat specified in the contract; whereas, in order to improve the efficiency of the scheme, provisions should be laid down enabling applicants to receive an advance payment of the aid, subject to the provisions of a security;
Whereas provisions should be made for the possibility of reducing the storage period where meat removed from storage is intended for export; whereas proof that the meat has been exported must be supplied as in the case of refunds, in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2730/79 (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 568/85 (8);
Whereas, in order for the Commission to monitor closely the effect of the private storage scheme, Member States must communicate the necessary information;

1. Applications may, in region 2, and subject to an overall limit of 1 500 tonnes, be submitted between 22 March and 5 April 1985 for aid for the private storage of one of the cuts of lamb carcases specified in the Annex.
Applications submitted on or after the day following that on which the total quantity applied for exceeds 1 500 tonnes shall not be accepted. Quantities in respect of which applications are lodged on the day the overall limit is exceeded shall be reduced proportionally.
The amounts of this aid, by tonne of product, bone-in, are fixed in the Annex for each of these cuts, pursuant to Article 6 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2659/80.
If the market situation makes it advisable, the deadline for the submission of applications may be changed.
2. The amount of aid shall be adjusted if the period of storage is extended or reduced. The supplements per month and deductions per diem for each of the cuts are specified in the Annex.
3. Subject to the provisions of this Regulation, the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 2659/80 shall apply.
Only meat produced in accordance with the provisions of Article 3 (1) A (a) to (e) of Directive 64/433/EEC shall be eligible for private storage aid.

2. The contract may cover only one of the cuts specified in the Annex.
3. Placing in storage must be carried out within eight days of the date of conclusion of the contract.
1. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 2, the contractor may, before placing in storage, cut or bone all or part of the products referred to in the Annex, provided that only the quantity for which the contract has been concluded is employed and that all the meat resulting from such operations is placed in storage.
2. If the quantity placed in storage unboned, or, if cut or boned, the quantity of unboned meat employed, is less than the quantity for which the contract was concluded and:
(a) not less than 90 % of that quantity, the amount of aid referred to in the third subparagraph of Article 1 (1) shall be reduced proportionally;
(b) less than 90 % of that quantity, private storage aid shall not be paid.
3. In the event of boning:
(a) if the quantity placed in a store does not exceed 52 kilograms of boned meat per 100 kilograms of unboned meat employed, private storage aid shall not be paid;
(b) if the quantity placed in store exceeds 52 kilograms but is less than 60 kilograms of boned meat per 100 kilograms of unboned meat employed, the aid referred to in the third subparagraph of Article 1 (1) shall be reduced proportionally.
4. No aid shall be granted:
(a) for quantities placed in storage unboned, or if cut or boned, for quantities of unboned meat employed, in excess of the quantities for which the contract was concluded; and
(b) in the event of boning, for quantities in excess of 60 kilograms of boned meat per 100 kilograms of unboned meat employed.
1. The period of storage shall be:
- five, six, seven or eight months in the case of contracts covering short forequarters,
- three, four, five or six months in the case of contracts covering chines and/or best ends.
The period shall be left to the storer, who must state his preference at the time of submitting the application referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 1 (1).
2. Entitlement to payment of the aid shall arise only if the meat has remained in storage throughout the storage period.
3. After two months of storage under contract a single advance payment of the aid may be made, at the storer's request, on condition that he lodges a security equal to the advance payment plus 20 %.
The advance payment shall not exceed the aid corresponding to the contracted storage period and shall be converted into national currency by applying the representative rate in force on the day of conclusion of the storage contract.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(8) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13(8) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides that the export refund applicable to cereals on the day on which application for an export licence is made must be applied on request to exports to be effected during the period of validity of the export licence. In this case, a corrective amount may be applied to the refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down certain detailed rules under Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 on the granting of export refunds on cereals and the cereals and the measures to be taken in the event of disturbance on the market for cereals(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1163/2002(4), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1324/2002(5), allows for the fixing of a corrective amount for the products listed in Article 1(1)(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92. That corrective amount must be calculated taking account of the factors referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95.
(3) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the corrective amount according to destination.
(4) The corrective amount must be fixed at the same time as the refund and according to the same procedure; it may be altered in the period between fixings.
(5) It follows from applying the provisions set out above that the corrective amount must be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The corrective amount referred to in Article 1(1)(a), (b) and (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 which is applicable to export refunds fixed in advance except for malt shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 583/2007
of 29 May 2007
amending Regulation (EC) No 1839/95 as regards the booking of imports of maize and sorghum and the communications to be made by the Member States concerned
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), and in particular Article 12(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under the agreements concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations, the Community undertook, as from the 1995/96 marketing year, to open reduced-tariff quotas (hereinafter abatimento quotas) for imports into Spain of two million tonnes of maize and 300 000 tonnes of sorghum respectively and for imports into Portugal of 500 000 tonnes of maize. Detailed rules for the application of abatimento tariff quotas were laid down by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1839/95 of 26 July 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of tariff quotas for imports of maize and sorghum into Spain and imports of maize into Portugal (2).
(2) To ensure the proper application of these quotas, the quantities of maize and of sorghum imported into Spain and Portugal are booked by the Commission on an annual basis taking account of all imports actually carried out, including imports of certain cereal substitute products which are deducted in proportion to the total quantities to be imported into Spain.
(3) In the case of maize imports, the import period for Portugal corresponds at present to the marketing year while it corresponds to the calendar year in the case of Spain. To ensure the sound management of the abatimento quotas, identical import and accounting periods should be fixed for those two countries, i.e. the calendar year. However, in order to avoid any overlap between the new and old accounting periods, a specific quota should be opened for Portugal for the second half of 2007. This Regulation must therefore apply from 1 July 2007.
(4) To ensure that the Community’s international commitments are met, an additional period should also be provided for, running beyond the calendar year, so enabling these commitments for each reference calendar year to be met. The length of this additional period must be the same for Spain and Portugal.
(5) Changes were made to the customs nomenclature in 2002 as regards certain substitute products to be booked against the abatimento quotas in Spain. CN codes 2308 90 30 (citrus pulp residues) and 2308 10 00 were merged. The products concerned now fall within CN code 2308 00 40. The list of products to be booked within the framework of abatimento quotas should therefore be adapted accordingly.
(6) Moreover, since the introduction of these quota arrangements, certain specific trade concessions for maize have been granted by the Community within the framework of both preferential and non-preferential arrangements. These new concessions apply independently of the abatimento quotas. They presently comprise the concessions granted by Council Regulation (EC) No 2007/2000 of 18 September 2000 introducing exceptional trade measures for countries and territories participating in or linked to the European Union’s Stabilisation and Association process, amending Regualtion (EC) No 2820/98 and repealing Regulations (EC) No 1763/1999 and (EC) No 2/2000 (3), by the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Croatia, of the other part (4), approved by Council and Commission Decision 2005/40/EC, Euratom (5), by the Interim Agreement on trade and trade-related matters between the European Community, of the one part, and the Republic of Albania, of the other part (6), approved by Council Decision 2006/580/EC (7), and by Commission Regulation (EC) No 969/2006 of 29 June 2006 opening and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for imports of maize from third countries (8).
(7) Accordingly, in order to ensure the sound management of the arrangements introduced by Regulation (EC) No 1839/95, while continuing to observe the Community’s international obligations, the imports to be booked as abatimento quotas should be clearly specified.
(8) The current provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1839/95 provide for the extension of the period for booking imports into Spain to the end of February each year, but do not lay down any rules for Portugal. This situation is unsatisfactory as it creates uncertainty in the application of the arrangements. In order to remove this uncertainty and to ensure the sound management of the abatimento quotas, provision should be made for similar methods for booking imports of maize and sorghum effected in Spain and in Portugal.
(9) In order to attain this objective and to guarantee effective monitoring by the Commission of the arrangements and of the Community’s international obligations, provision should be made for Spain and Portugal to communicate to the Commission, each month, all imports of the products concerned actually carried out, specifying the calculation method applied.
(10) Regulation (EC) No 1839/95 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
Regulation (EC) No 1839/95 is amended as follows:
1. Article 1(2) is replaced by the following:
2. Article 2 is amended as follows:
(a) in paragraph 1, CN code ‘2308 90 30’ is replaced by ‘ex 2308 00 40’;

(ii) the quantities of residues of starch manufacture from maize, brewing and distilling dregs and waste and residues of citrus pulp referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article imported into Spain during each calendar year.
(b) for the quota referred to in Article 1(2a), the quantities of maize (CN code 1005 90 00) imported into Portugal during the second half of 2007 and, where necessary, until the end of May 2008.

(9) The EIB has been involved in drawing up the single programming document in accordance with the provisions of Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 and has declared itself prepared to contribute to its implementation in conformity with its statutory provisions.
(10) The financial contribution from the Community available over the entire period and its year-by-year breakdown are expressed in euro. The annual breakdown 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.
(11) 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 the National Computerisation Programme in France 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 France. The priorities are as follows:
1. non-material investments in computerisation;
2. material investments required to carry out the project;
3. 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) he indicative financing plan specifying for each priority and each year the financial allocation envisaged for the contribution from each Fund and indicating separately the funding planned for the regions receiving transitional support under Objective 1 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 and the use to be made of global grants, a description of the systems for monitoring and evaluation, including the role of the Monitoring Committee and the arrangements for the participation of the partners in that Committee;
(e) the ex-ante verification of compliance with additionality and information on the transparency of financial flows.
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 34666666 for the whole period and the financial contribution from the Structural Funds at EUR 19333333.
The resulting requirement for national resources of EUR 15333333 from the public 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 19333333. 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.

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1760/78 of 25 July 1978 on a common measure to improve public amenities in certain rural areas (1), and in particular Articles 13 (3) and 14 (5) thereof,
Whereas supporting documents in respect of special programmes eligible for assistance from the EAGGF are forwarded, in some cases via the Member States concerned, by a department or agency designated by that Member State ; whereas with a view to ensuring an effective check on the execution of these projects, provision should be made to define the role of that department or agency and the nature of the supporting documents to be drawn up in compliance with the laws or regulations of the Member State concerned or with the measures laid down by the said department or agency, and also the verifications to be effected by each Member State;
Whereas the Commission needs to be informed that projects are being carried out under the conditions and within the time limits laid down;
Whereas the documentation to be forwarded by the intermediary department or agency so that the Commission may ascertain that all the conditions are fulfilled for payment of the aid, or a proportion thereof, should be specified ; whereas that documentation must include full information, presented in a uniform manner, in order to facilitate examination and uniform treatment of payment applications;
Whereas, if the documents duly provided by the department or agency appear inadequate or incomplete for the purpose of checking the financial or other conditions to which the special programmes are subject, the Commission should be able to request the intermediary department or agency to submit additional or supporting documents;
Whereas there should be provision, in connection with inspection visits, for cooperation between the Commission and the Member State concerned, so that the visit may achieve its intended purpose;
Whereas the procedure for suspending, reducing or terminating EAGGF aid should not be initiated without the Member State concerned first having been asked for its view and the recipient having been given the opportunity to submit its comments;
Whereas, since EAGGF aid is paid to the recipient through an agency designated by the Member State, it is necessary to define the documents which that agency is to forward to the Commission;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the EAGGF Committee,
I. Role of the department or agency responsible for forwarding supporting documents
1. The department or agency responsible for forwarding supporting documents within the meaning of Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1760/78 shall send to the Commission, within two months following the entry into force of this Regulation, a descriptive list of the supporting documents it intends to require. Any amendment to such list shall be communicated to the Commission within two months of its adoption.
"Supporting documents" means any document drawn up in accordance either with the laws or regulations of the Member State concerned or with the measures adopted by the abovementioned department or agency and establishing that the financial or other conditions imposed for the project in question have been fulfilled.
(1) OJ No L 204, 28.7.1978, p. 1. The descriptive list mentioned above shall contain: - the name of each supporting document, together with a reference to the regulations or measures on the basis of which it is to be drawn up,
- a brief description of the contents of each document.
2. Within the time limit laid down in paragraph 1 the department or agency shall also send to the Commission a detailed description of the verification procedures used and which it employs for the purpose of making out the certificate referred to in Article 3.
3. The Commission may request Member States to add to the descriptive list other documents which it considers necessary for verifying the eligibility for payment of the expenditure claimed in applications ; it may to the same end request the Member States to strengthen their verification procedures.
On the expiry of two years from the date of notification of the decision granting aid, the department or agency shall forward to the Commission a document describing the progress of projects in respect of which no application for payment or no second application for an advance has been made. Where, contrary to the information contained in the application for aid and the decision to grant it, work or action has not begun by the end of this period of two years, the department or agency shall give reasons and where necessary shall submit to the Commission adequate assurances provided by the recipient, to the effect that work on the project will begin in the near future.
In the absence of such assurance or if the Commission considers the assurances inadequate, the recipient shall be required to return the advance received. If the first advance received was already accompanied by the supporting documents to be provided under Article 3 (1), these documents need not be forwarded.
1. Within three months before the actual commencement of the first annual instalment of work, the intermediary department or agency may forward to the Commission an application for an advance together with evidence that the conditions for payment have been fulfilled.
This application for an advance shall be submitted in duplicate in the form of a certificate as shown in Model 1 in Annex I hereto.
Six months following the payment of this advance the recipient must prove to the Commission that the rate of progress on the work has reached at least 6 75 % of the first annual instalment multiplied by the number of months which have elapsed since the date of the commencement of the work specified in the application for an advance.
If he fails to supply this proof the recipient shall be obliged to return the advance received.
The forwarding of this proof shall suspend the obligation to forward the document provided for in Article 2.
2. The applications for advances relating to the other annual instalments of the work may be submitted when the work on the previous instalment has reached at least 80 % of the amount planned and any earlier instalments have been completed.
Applications for an advance, to be submitted in duplicate, shall consist of a certificate and supporting documents in the form shown in Model 2 in Annex I hereto.
3. Not later than three months following the planned completion of an annual instalment of work in respect of which an advance has been received, the department or agency shall forward a claim for the final amount of aid due in respect of that instalment.
This claim, to be submitted in duplicate, shall consist of a certificate and supporting documents in the form shown in Annex II hereto.
If he fails to submit this claim, the recipient shall be required to refund the advance received.
4. Where no advance has been received, the department or agency may forward applications for payment in the year following the completion of an annual instalment of the work.
These applications, to be submitted in duplicate, shall consist of a certificate and supporting documents in the form shown in Annex II hereto.
To enable an effective check to be made on the execution of a project, the department or agency shall submit to the Commission, on request and within a time limit which the latter may fix, any supporting document, or a certified copy thereof, as referred to in Article 1, or any other document which shows that the financial or other conditions laid down for each project have been fulfilled.
If the Commission considers it necessary to make an inspection visit, it shall give prior notice thereof to the Member State it intends to visit and shall invite the Member State to participate in the inspection ; the Member States shall take all necessary steps to promote the efficacy of such inspection visits.
Before initiating any procedure for suspending, reducing or terminating aid from the EAGGF in accordance with Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1760/78, the Commission shall: - invite the Member State on whose territory the project was to be carried out to express its views on the matter,
- consult the department or agency responsible for transmitting supporting documents,
- ask the recipient to provide through the intermediary department or agency an explanation for his failure to comply with the conditions laid down.
II. Role of the agency responsible for payment
1. When the Commission is satisfied that the financial or other conditions laid down for the project have been fulfilled, it shall make payments of aid from the EAGGF to the recipient in accordance with Article 14 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1760/78.
2. The agency shall immediately pay over the aid or the appropriate portion thereof to the recipient and shall, within 15 days of payment, provide evidence to the Commission that this has been done.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

establishing minimum requirements for the cross-border processing of documents signed electronically by competent authorities under Directive 2006/123/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on services in the internal market
(notified under document C(2011) 1081)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2011/130/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2006/123/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2006 on services in the internal market (1), and in particular Article 8(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Service providers whose services fall within the scope of Directive 2006/123/EC must be able to complete, through the Points of Single Contact and by electronic means, the procedures and formalities necessary for the access to and the exercise of their activities. Within the limits established in Article 5(3) of Directive 2006/123/EC, there may still be cases where service providers have to submit original documents, certified copies or certified translations when completing such procedures and formalities. In those cases, service providers may need to submit documents signed electronically by competent authorities.
(2) The cross-border use of advanced electronic signatures supported by a qualified certificate is facilitated through Commission Decision 2009/767/EC of 16 October 2009 setting out measures facilitating the use of procedures by electronic means through the ‘points of single contact’ under Directive 2006/123/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on services in the internal market (2) which, inter alia, imposes an obligation on Member States to carry out risk assessments before requiring these electronic signatures from service providers and establishes rules for the acceptance by Member States of advanced electronic signatures based on qualified certificates, created with or without a secure signature creation device. However, Decision 2009/767/EC does not deal with formats of electronic signatures in documents issued by competent authorities, that need to be submitted by service providers when completing the relevant procedures and formalities.
(3) As competent authorities in Member States currently use different formats of advanced electronic signatures to sign their documents electronically, the receiving Member States that have to process these documents may face technical difficulties due to the variety of signature formats used. In order to allow service providers to complete their procedures and formalities across borders by electronic means, it is necessary to ensure that at least a number of advanced electronic signature formats can be technically supported by Member States when they receive documents signed electronically by competent authorities from other Member States. Defining a number of advanced electronic signature formats that need to be supported technically by the receiving Member State would allow greater automation and improve the cross-border interoperability of electronic procedures.
(4) Member States whose competent authorities use other electronic signature formats than those commonly supported, may have implemented validation means that allow their signatures to be verified also across borders. When this is the case and in order for the receiving Member States to be able to rely on these validation tools, it is necessary to make information on these tools available in an easily accessible way unless the necessary information is included directly in the electronic documents, in the electronic signatures or in the electronic document carriers.
(5) This Decision does not affect the determination by the Member States of what constitutes an original, a certified copy or a certified translation. Its objective is limited to facilitating the verification of electronic signatures if they are used in the originals, certified copies or certified translations that service providers may need to submit via the Points of Single Contact.
(6) For the purpose of allowing Member States to implement the necessary technical tools, it is appropriate that this Decision applies as of 1 August 2011.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Services Directive Committee,
Reference format for electronic signatures
1. Member States shall put in place the necessary technical means allowing them to process electronically signed documents that service providers submit in the context of completing procedures and formalities through the Points of Single Contact as foreseen by Article 8 of Directive 2006/123/EC, and which are signed by competent authorities of other Member States with an XML or a CMS or a PDF advanced electronic signature in the BES or EPES format, that complies with the technical specifications set out in the Annex.
2. Member States whose competent authorities sign the documents referred to in paragraph 1 using other formats of electronic signatures than those referred to in that same paragraph, shall notify to the Commission existing validation possibilities that allow other Member States to validate the received electronic signatures online, free of charge and in a way that is understandable for non-native speakers unless the required information is already included in the document, in the electronic signature or in the electronic document carrier. The Commission will make that information available to all Member States.
Application
This Decision shall apply from 1 August 2011.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 145 thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas the European Council, at its recent meetings, confirmed that the fight against unemployment and the effort to achieve equal opportunities were the paramount tasks for the Community and its Member States;
Whereas, at its meeting on 9 and 10 December 1994 in Essen, the European Council identified priority areas for action to overcome structural employment problems; whereas it requested each Member State to incorporate these recommendations into a multiannual programme; whereas it invited the Council in the field of Labour and Social Affairs and Economic and Financial Affairs and the Commission to keep close track of employment trends, to monitor the relevant policies of the Member States and to report annually to the European Council on further progress on the employment market; whereas it asked at its meeting on 15 and 16 December 1995 in Madrid to establish as soon as possible the practical monitoring systems, including a system of common indicators;
Whereas the European Council at its meeting in Madrid urged Member States to apply in the framework of their multiannual employment programmes measures with particular emphasis on those categories requiring special attention, such as young people seeking their first job, the long-term unemployed and unemployed women;
Whereas the Council in the field of Economic and Financial Affairs is assisted by the Economic Policy Committee set up by Council Decision 74/122/EEC (2), in order to contribute to the coordination of the short and mid-term economic policies;
Whereas the Council in the field of Labour and Social Affairs has been assisted, thus far, by an ad hoc Working Party of the Representatives of Ministers for Labour and Employment set up on 27 March 1995;
Whereas, in order to ensure the continued success of the Community's strategy for employment and to facilitate the practical implementation of the employment monitoring procedure decided on in Essen, the European Council at its meeting in Madrid in December 1995 felt that it was necessary to establish, as soon as possible, a stable structure to assist the Council in the field of employment;
Whereas it is now appropriate for the Council to decide to set up an Employment and Labour Market Committee in the light of decisions taken by successive European Councils following publication of the White Paper on Growth, competitiveness and employment of 1993;
Whereas it is important to associate the social partners with future work in this field;
Whereas the setting up of the Committee is without prejudice to the respective competences of Member States and the Community in the fields covered by the work of the Committee and without prejudice to Article 151 of the Treaty as regards preparing the work of the Council,
1. An Employment and Labour Market Committee (hereinafter referred to as 'the Committee`) is hereby set up to assist the Council in carrying out its responsibilities in these fields.
2. Within the terms of the policy priorities laid down by the Council, the Committee shall, inter alia with regard to the multiannual programmes of the Member States and to the common system of indicators to be established:
- keep close track of employment trends for men and women in the Community and monitor the Member States' employment and labour market policies,
- facilitate exchanges of information and experience between Member States and with the Commission in these fields.
The Committee shall prepare reports and proposals for the Council on these questions. It may, on its own initiative, undertake work within its area of competence.
3. The Committee shall work as far as necessary in cooperation with other relevant bodies, in particular the Economic Policy Committee. It will also maintain an appropriate liaison with the Standing Committee on Employment.
The Committee shall consist of two representatives appointed by each Member State and two representatives of the Commission. These representatives may be assisted by two alternates.
1. The Committee shall elect its chairman from among the representatives of the Member States for a non-renewable term of two years.
2. The Commission shall provide the analytical and organizational support for the Committee. It shall liaise with the General Secretariat of the Council with regard to the holding of meetings.
3. The Committee shall establish its own rules of procedure.
4. Meetings on the Committee shall be convened by the chairman, either on his own initiative or at the request of at least half of the members of the Committee. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption (1), and in particular Article 11(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 lays down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin. In particular, it provides that products of animal origin are only to be imported from a third country or part of a third country that appears on a list drawn up in accordance with that Regulation.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 also provides that when drawing up and updating such lists, account is to be taken of Union controls in third countries and guarantees provided by the competent authorities of third countries, as regards compliance or equivalence with Union feed and food law and animal health rules as specified in Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on official controls performed to ensure the verification of compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules (2).
(3) Commission Decision 2006/766/EC of 6 November 2006 establishing the lists of third countries and territories from which imports of bivalve molluscs, echinoderms, tunicates, marine gastropods and fishery products are permitted (3) lists those third countries which satisfy the criteria referred to in Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 and are therefore able to guarantee that exports of those products to the Union meet the sanitary conditions laid down in Union legislation to protect the health of consumers. In particular, Annex II to that Decision sets out a list of third countries and territories from which imports of fishery products for human consumption are permitted. That list also indicates restrictions concerning such imports from certain third countries.
(4) Serbia is currently included in the list in Annex II to Decision 2006/766/EC as a third country from which imports of fishery products intended for human consumption are permitted, but such imports are restricted to whole fresh fish from wild seawater catches.
(5) Union controls to evaluate the control system in place in Serbia governing the production of fishery products intended for export to the Union, together with guarantees provided by the competent authority of Serbia, indicate that the conditions applicable in that third country to fishery products for human consumption destined for export to the Union are equivalent to those laid down in the relevant Union legislation. Accordingly, Annex II to Decision 2006/766/EC should be amended in order to permit imports from Serbia of fishery products for human consumption, but not subject to the current restriction.
(6) Decision 2006/766/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
In Annex II to Decision 2006/766/EC, the entry for Serbia is replaced by the following:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 234 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas the achievement of the Single Market requires the removal of all barriers to trade, not only between the Member States of the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 but also, to the greatest possible extent, between these Member States and Spain and Portugal;
Whereas, where skimmed milk powder is concerned, the difference existing between the prices applicable in Portugal and the common prices ought, in accordance with the Act of Accession, to occasion an extension of the price alignment period and as a result application of accession compensatory amounts until 1995; whereas, however, if Portuguese producers were to be given a temporary degressive aid such a long extension could be avoided and the prices aligned;
Whereas to offset the difficulties that elimination of the supplementary trade mechanism for milk products would otherwise involve for Portuguese producers the initial amount of the said aid should be set at more than the simple price difference for protein content of ECU 1,57 and it should be made degressive to the end of the 1997/98 marketing year,
The common price for skimmed milk powder shall be applied in Portugal.
1. Aid shall be granted to milk producers in Portugal until the end of the 1997/98 marketing year.
It shall amount to ECU 2,50 per 100 kg of milk in the period between the entry into force of this Regulation and the beginning of the 1993/94 marketing year and shall be reduced by 1/6, 1/5, 1/4, 1/3 and 1/2 for the 1993/94, 1994/95, 1995/96, 1996/97 and 1997/98 marketing years respectively.
2. The aid specified in paragraph 1 shall count as intervention for the purposes of Article 1 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 (2).
Detailed rules of application covering the aid scheme specified in Article 2 shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 30 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 (3).
The same procedure shall be used for adoption of any transitional measures required for smooth implementation of the arrangements provided for in this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Whereas the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany on 14 May 1982 notified the programme for the fruit juice sector in the Land of Bavaria and on 7 December 1982 supplied additional information;
Whereas the said programme concerns the construction and modernization of extensive facilities for processing fruit (apples, sour cherries, currants) into juice, with the aim of stabilizing the fruit market in Bavaria and guaranteeing satisfactory earnings for fruit producers; whereas it therefore constitutes a programme within the meaning of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;
Whereas the programme contains the details referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77, showing that the objectives laid down in Article 1 of the said Regulation can be achieved in respect of fruit production in Bavaria; whereas the scheduled time for implementation of the programme does not exceed the limit laid down in Article 3 (1) (g) of the Regulation;
Whereas the question under what conditions the common action initiated by Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 will be continued beyond the date laid down in Article 16 (1) of the said Regulation remains open; whereas it is therefore appropriate to limit approval of the programme to applications referred to in Article 24 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structure,
1. The programme communicated by the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany on 14 May 1982, as amplified by information supplied on 7 December 1982, for the fruit juice sector in the Land of Bavaria pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 is hereby approved.

(4) Sugar importation authorised by the Order covers the period up to 31 October 1999. Before that date the Court of Justice handed down no judgment in Case C-17/98 concerning the legality of Article 108b of the OCT Decision. At Emesa's request, on 29 September 1999 the President of the Court of First Instance delivered a new Order (hereinafter referred to as the "second order") authorising Emesa to import a further quantity of ground sugar originating in the OCTs in accordance with Article 6 of Annex II to the OCT Decision over the period 31 October 1999 to 29 February 2000, on the conditions set out in that Decision as it applied up to 30 November 1997 and subject to certain requirements and restrictions.

The security shall be released by order of the President of the Court in favour of Emesa if the Court of Justice of the European Communities declares, in its judgment in Case C-17/98, that Article 108b of Decision 91/482/EEC is void.
Import licences shall be issued and the goods shall be imported by 29 February 2000 at the latest. However, Emesa may release up to 7500 tonnes of sugar delivered free on board to it before 29 February 2000 for free circulation within the customs territory of the Community.

31984D0512 | 84/512/EEC: Commission Decision of 23 October 1984 accepting an undertaking given in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of paraformaldehyde originating in Spain and terminating the investigation
| COMMISSION DECISION
of 23 October 1984
accepting an undertaking given in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of paraformaldehyde originating in Spain and terminating the investigation
(84/512/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 of 23 July 1984 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
After consultations within the Advisory Committee as provided for by the above Regulation,
Whereas:
A. Procedure
(1) In April 1984 the Commission received a complaint lodged by the European Council of Chemical Manufacturers' Federations (CEFIC) on behalf of producers representing all Community production of the product in question. The complaint contained evidence of dumping and of material injury resulting therefrom, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a proceeding. The Commission accordingly announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (2), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of paraformaldehyde falling within subheading 29.11 G of the Common Customs Tariff, corresponding to NIMEXE code 29.11-97, originating in Spain and commenced an investigation.
(2) The Commission officially so advised the exporter and importers known to be concerned and the representatives of the exporting country and the complainants and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing.
(3) All of the known Community producers, exporter and importers made their views known in writing. None of them requested a hearing.
(4) No submissions were made by or on behalf of Community purchasers of paraformaldehyde.
(5) The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed to be necessary for the purposes of a preliminary determination and carried out investigations at the premises of the following:
(1) EEC producers:
- Organichim SA (CDF - Chimie group), Paris, France,
- Degussa AG, Frankfurt, Federal Republic of Germany,
- Synthite Ltd, West Bromwich, United Kingdom,
- Alder SpA, Trieste, Italy;
(b) exporter:
- Formol y Derivados SA, Barcelona, Spain;
(c) EEC importer:
- Chimilux SA, Paris, France.
(6) The investigation of dumping covered the period 1 June 1983 to 31 May 1984.
B. Normal value
(7) Normal value was provisionally determined on the basis of the domestic prices of the Spanish producer who exported to the Community and who provided sufficient evidence concerning sales to unrelated customers.
C. Export price
(8) Export prices were determined on the basis of the prices actually paid for the product sold for export to the Community.
D. Comparison
(9) In comparing normal value with export prices the Commission took account, where appropriate, of differences in conditions and terms of sale affecting price comparability and allowances were made for differences in credit terms, commissions and transport.
(10) A request was made by the exporter for an adjustment to take account of a price differential resulting from a price discount for quantity sales given to the main customer on the Spanish domestic market. The Commission granted this request with regard to the qualities concerned since the conditions laid down in Article 2 (10) (b) (i) of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 were considered to be fulfilled.
(11) Furthermore, a request was made by the exporter for an adjustment to take account of the fact that quantities exported to the Community had been considerably larger than those sold on the Spanish domestic market. The Commission refused this claim for an adjustment on the grounds that the exporter did not prove that savings were made in the cost of producing different quantities exported as is provided for under Article 2 (10) (b) (ii) of the above Regulation.
(12) The Spanish exporter also requested the Commission on the basis of Article 2 (10) (d) of the above Regulation to take account of the export tax rebate ('Desgravaciรณn fiscal'), being the refund by the Spanish authorities of an amount corresponding to the taxes incurred during the production process, when the product concerned was exported. However, without prejudice to the question whether and to what extent this claim could be taken into consideration, the Commission did not grant this request, since the Spanish exporter did not submit satisfactory evidence concerning the amount of taxes refunded by the Spanish authorities with regard to the exports of the product concerned.
Furthermore, the question whether the tax rebate constitutes an export subsidy could only be examined if a complaint were lodged concerning the subsidy and a proceeding initiated accordingly.
(13) All comparisons were made at ex-works level.
E. Margin
(14) The above preliminary examination of the facts shows the existence of dumping in respect of the Spanish exporter, the margin of dumping being equal to the amount by which the normal value as established exceeds the price for export to the Community. The weighted average margin amounts to 17,4 %.
F. Injury
(15) With regard to the injury caused by the dumped imports, the evidence available to the Commission shows that imports into the Community from Spain of paraformaldehyde increased from 853 tonnes 1980 to 2 776 tonnes in 1982. In 1983 these imports increased to 3 392 tonnes and during the first five months of 1984 they amounted to 1 461 tonnes which corresponds to 3 506 tonnes on an annual basis.
(16) The development of these imports represents an increase in market share held by the exporting country from 3,4 % to 11,2 % between 1980 and 1982. Furthermore, it represents a further increase of the market share to 12,9 % in 1983; the market share achieved subsequently for the first five months of 1984 is estimated to have been 11,3 %.
(17) The resale prices of the dumped imports undercut the prices of the Community producers during the investigation period by 18 %.
(18) The consequent impact on the Community industry concerned has been a reduction of production and of sales within the Community of 2 % and 9,5 % respectively between 1980 and 1982. This development corresponds to a decrease in the market share of the Community producers from 96,2 % to 88,5 % in the same period, as opposed to the increase in the market share held by the dumped imports. (19) It has been argued that in 1983 and during the first five months of 1984 production and sales of the Community producers increased. However, this was due more to their sales outside the Community than on the Community market. Moreover, despite this increase, the market share held by the Community producers dropped further to 85,9 % in 1983. During the first five months of 1984 their market share is estimated to have increased, but not enough to compensate for the loss suffered in 1983.
(20) Most of the Community producers have also suffered significant price depression, which made it impossible to increase their sales prices in order to cover their increased costs of production. Some of them had to lower their sales prices.
(21) Since 1980 the profit and loss situation of most of the Community producers developed in a negative way, although some improvement seems to have taken place since the beginning of 1984.
(22) The Commission has considered whether injury has been caused by other factors such as the development of the consumption of this product. In this respect the Commission found that, whilst consumption in the Community dropped by 1,4 % between 1980 and 1982, the market share of the imported products rose by 7,8 %, whereas the market share of the Community producers decreased by 7,7 % during the same period. Therefore, the decline in consumption during this period is considered to have affected the Community producers but not the imported products. Furthermore, although consumption in the Community increased by 6,6 % in 1983, the market share held by the Community producers further declined, whilst there was a further increase of the market share held by the dumped imports.
The volume of the dumped imports, their market share and the prices at which they are offered for sale in the Community led the Commission to determine that the effects of the dumped imports of paraformaldehyde originating in Spain taken in isolation have to be considered as constituting material injury to the Community industry concerned.
G. Community interests
(23) The Spanish exporter argued that it is not in the Community's interest that action be taken, since it would only serve to protect Community producers with a less efficient technology and production process. However, if action is to be taken, it would not be aimed at protecting Community producers against more efficient producers in third countries, but it would serve as a protection against unfair competition from an exporter who sold his products in the Community at dumped prices and who caused material injury to the Community industry concerned.
(24) In view of the particularly serious difficulties facing the Community industry, the Commission has come to the conclusion that it is in the Community's interests that action be taken.
H. Undertaking
(25) The exporter concerned was informed of the main findings of the provisional investigation and commented on them. An undertaking was subsequently offered by Formol y Derivados SA concerning their exports of paraformaldehyde to the Community.
The effect of said undertaking will be to increase prices to the Community to the level necessary to eliminate the dumping. The weighted average of this increase in no case exceeds the weighted average dumping margin found in the investigation.
In these circumstances the undertaking offered is considered acceptable and the investigation may therefore be terminated without imposition of an anti-dumping duty.
(26) No objection to this course was raised in the Advisory Committee,
The undertaking given by Formol y Derivados SA, Barcelona in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of paraformaldehyde falling within subheading 29.11 G of the Common Customs Tariff, corresponding to NIMEXE code 29.11-97 and originating in Spain is hereby accepted.
The investigation in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding referred to in Article 1 is hereby terminated. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 of 25 September 1989 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1265/95 (2), and in particular Articles 5a (4) (f) and 5b (4) thereof,
Whereas the implementation, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3567/92 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1847/95 (4), of the rules on individual limits introduced by Article 5a of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 resulted, during the 1995 marketing year, in administrative difficulties in the United Kingdom which delayed the allocation of the national reserve for the said marketing year; whereas, consequently, certain producers were not able to effect the transfers of rights or temporary leases provided for in Article 5a (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 within the time limits provided for in Article 7 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3567/92 for the 1995 marketing year; whereas the Member State concerned should therefore be authorized, on certain conditions designed to limit the risk of irregularities as far as possible, to set a second deadline for notification by the producers concerned of such transfers or temporary leasing of rights for the 1995 marketing year;
Whereas the administrative difficulties in question are also likely to affect the mechanisms set up for transfers and temporary leasing of rights in respect of the 1996 marketing year; whereas, therefore, it should also be laid down that the Member State in question may set a second deadline for certain transfers and temporary leases in respect of the 1996 marketing year under the conditions referred to above;
Whereas the application of the special reserve with a ceiling of 600 000 rights each for Italy and Greece, introduced by Article 5b (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2134/95 (5) leads to the creation of additional rights to the ewe and she-goat premium for certain producers as from the 1995 marketing year; whereas the said rights have been allocated according to the eligible livestock numbers held during the 1991 and 1992 marketing years by those producers; whereas the composition of the flocks held by the said producers may have changed substantially since those marketing years; whereas transfers or temporary leasing of the newly created additional rights should therefore be authorized; whereas Italy and Greece should therefore be authorized to set a second deadline for the notification by the producers concerned of the said transfers or temporary lease of rights in respect of the 1995 and 1996 marketing years;
Whereas, for the same reasons, Italy, Greece and the United Kingdom should be authorized, as a special measure for the 1995 and 1996 marketing years, to extend the deadline provided for in Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 3567/92 for the notification of transfers of premium rights and temporary leasing of those rights;
Whereas the setting of a second deadline for the notification of transfers or temporary leasing of rights under the conditions referred to above also makes it necessary to derogate from the provisions laid down in Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 3567/92 in respect of the 1995, 1996 and 1997 marketing years for Italy, Greece and the United Kingdom;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheepmeat and Goatmeat,
For the 1995, 1996 and 1997 marketing years, Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 3567/92 shall not apply:
(a) in the case of the United Kingdom, to rights obtained by transfer and/or temporary lease for the marketing year in question before the allocation of rights under national reserves relating to the same marketing year has been communicated;
(b) in the case of Italy and Greece, to rights obtained with effect from the 1995 marketing year under Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2134/95.
By way of derogation from Article 7 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3567/92, for the 1995 and 1996 marketing years, the United Kingdom may set a second deadline for producers meeting one of the following conditions:
1. As regards the 1995 marketing year
(a) producers offering rights:
the total quantity of rights to the premium at their disposal must, at the time of the transfer or leasing operation, exceed the quantity for which the premium has been requested in respect of the 1995 marketing year. In addition, the transfer or leasing operation may, at most, relate only to the difference between the total quantity of rights and the quantity applied for in respect of the said marketing year;
(b) producers receiving rights:
(i) must not have obtained from the national reserve the entire quantity of rights applied for in respect of the 1995 marketing year,
or
(ii) must have been the subject of a withdrawal of rights with effect from the 1995 marketing year under the provisions of Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 3567/92 giving rise to that withdrawal, of which they have been notified no earlier than 10 working days before the first deadline fixed by the United Kingdom for the notification of transfers and temporary leases in respect of the 1995 marketing year.
2. As regards the 1996 marketing year
(a) producers offering rights:
the total quantity of rights to the premium at their disposal must, at the time of the transfer or leasing operation, exceed the quantity for which the premium has been requested in respect of the 1996 marketing year. In addition, the transfer or leasing operation may, at most, relate only to the difference between the total quantity of rights and the quantity applied for in respect of the said marketing year;
(b) producers receiving rights:
(i) must not have obtained from the national reserve the entire quantity of rights applied for in respect of the 1996 marketing year,
or
(ii) must have been the subject of a withdrawal of rights with effect from the 1996 marketing year under the provisions of Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 3567/92 giving rise to that withdrawal, of which they have been notified no earlier than 10 working days before expiry of the first deadline set by the United Kingdom for the notification of transfers and temporary leases for the 1996 marketing year.
By way of derogation from Article 7 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3567/92, for the 1995 and 1996 marketing years, Italy and Greece may specify a second deadline for producers fulfilling one of the following conditions:
(a) producers offering rights:
the total quantity of rights to the premium at their disposal must, at the time of the transfer or leasing operation, exceed the quantity for which the premium has been requested, or will be requested, in respect of the two said marketing years. In addition, the transfer may, at most, relate only to the number of rights granted pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2134/95;
(b) producers receiving rights:
the total quantity of rights to the premium at their disposal must, at the time of the transfer or leasing operation, exceed the quantity for which the premium has been requested, or will be requested, in respect of one of the marketing years in question.
By way of derogation from Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 3567/92, for the 1995 and 1996 marketing years, and in the case of Italy, Greece and the United Kingdom, the communication shall be made by a date to be set by each of the Member States concerned where notification of a transfer or temporary lease of a right has taken place before expiry of a second deadline set by the Member State concerned in accordance with Articles 2 and 3 of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from the start of the 1995 marketing year to the end of the 1997 marketing year.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 12 December 2011
on the reuse of Commission documents
(2011/833/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 249 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Europe 2020 sets out a vision of Europe’s social market economy for the 21st century. One of the priority themes in that context is ‘Smart growth: developing an economy based on knowledge and innovation’.
(2) The new information and communication technologies have created unprecedented possibilities to aggregate and combine content from different sources.
(3) Public sector information is an important source of potential growth of innovative online services through value-added products and services. Governments can stimulate content markets by making public sector information available on transparent, effective and non-discriminatory terms. For this reason, the Digital Agenda for Europe (1) singled out the reuse of public sector information as one of the key areas for action.
(4) The Commission and the other Institutions are themselves holders of many documents of all kinds which could be reused in added-value information products and services and which could provide a useful content resource for companies and citizens alike.
(5) The right to access Commission documents is regulated through Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2001 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents (2).
(6) Directive 2003/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) sets minimum rules for the reuse of public sector information throughout the European Union. In its recitals it encourages Member States to go beyond these minimum rules and to adopt open data policies, allowing a broad use of documents held by public sector bodies.
(7) The Commission has set an example to public administrations in making statistics, publications and the full corpus of Union law freely available online. This is a good basis to make further progress in ensuring the availability and reusability of data held by the institution.
(8) Commission Decision 2006/291/EC, Euratom of 7 April 2006 on the reuse of Commission information (4) determines the conditions for the reuse of Commission documents.
(9) In order to make the reuse regime of Commission documents more effective, the rules on the reuse of Commission documents should be adapted with a view to achieving a broader reuse of such documents.
(10) A data portal as a single point of access to documents available for reuse should be set up. In addition, it is appropriate to include in the documents available for reuse the research information produced by the Joint Research Centre. A provision should be adopted to take into account the move towards machine-readable formats. An important improvement with respect to Decision 2006/291/EC, Euratom consists in making Commission documents generally available for reuse without the need for individual applications, through open reuse licences or simple disclaimers.
(11) Decision 2006/291/EC, Euratom should therefore be replaced by this Decision.
(12) An open reuse policy at the Commission will support new economic activity, lead to a wider use and spread of Union information, enhance the image of openness and transparency of the Institutions, and avoid unnecessary administrative burden for users and Commission services. In 2012, the Commission envisages exploring with other Union institutions and key Agencies to what extent they could adopt their own rules on reuse.
(13) This Decision should be implemented and applied in full compliance with the principles relating to the protection of personal data in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (5).
(14) This Decision should not apply to documents for which the Commission is not in a position to allow reuse, e.g. in view of third party intellectual property rights or where the documents have been received from the other Institutions,
Subject matter
This Decision determines the conditions for the reuse of documents held by the Commission or on its behalf by the Publications Office of the European Union (the Publications Office) with the aim of facilitating a wider reuse of information, enhancing the image of openness of the Commission, and avoiding unnecessary administrative burdens for reusers and the Commission services alike.
Scope
1. This Decision applies to public documents produced by the Commission or by public and private entities on its behalf:
(a) which have been published by the Commission or by the Publications Office on its behalf through publications, websites or dissemination tools; or
(b) which have not been published for economic or other practical reasons, such as studies, reports and other data.
2. This Decision shall not apply:
(a) to software or to documents covered by industrial property rights such as patents, trademarks, registered designs, logos and names;
(b) to documents for which the Commission is not in a position to allow their reuse in view of intellectual property rights of third parties;
(c) to documents which pursuant to the rules established in Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 are excluded from access or only made accessible to a party under specific rules governing privileged access;
(d) to confidential data, as defined in Regulation (EC) No 223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6);
(e) to documents resulting from ongoing research projects conducted by the staff of the Commission which are not published or available in a published database, and whose reuse would interfere with the validation of provisional research results or where reuse would constitute a reason to refuse registration of industrial property rights in the Commission’s favour.
3. This Decision is without prejudice to and in no way affects Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001.
4. Nothing in this Decision authorises reuse of documents in a manner calculated to deceive or to defraud. The Commission shall take the appropriate measures to protect the interests and the public image of the EU in accordance to applicable rules.
Definitions
For the purposes of this Decision, the following definitions shall apply:
(1) ‘document’ means:
(a) any content whatever its medium (written on paper or stored in electronic form or as a sound, visual or audiovisual recording);
(b) any part of such content;
(2) ‘reuse’ means the use of documents by persons or legal entities of documents, for commercial or non-commercial purposes other than the initial purpose for which the documents were produced. The exchange of documents between the Commission and other public sector bodies which use these documents purely in the pursuit of their public tasks does not constitute reuse;
(3) ‘personal data’ means data as defined in Article 2(a) of Regulation (EC) No 45/2001;
(4) ‘licence’ means the granting of permission to reuse documents under specified conditions. ‘Open licence’ means a licence where reuse of documents is permitted for all specified uses in a unilateral declaration by the rightholder;
(5) ‘machine-readable’ means that digital documents are sufficiently structured for software applications to identify reliably individual statements of fact and their internal structure;
(6) ‘structured data’ is data organised in a way that allows reliable identification of individual statements of fact and all their components, as exemplified in databases and spreadsheets;
(7) ‘portal’ refers to a single point of access to data from a variety of web sources. The sources generate both the data and the related metadata. The metadata needed for indexing are automatically harvested by the portal and integrated to the extent needed to support common functionalities such as search and linking. The portal may also cache data from the contributing sources in order to improve performance or provide additional functionalities.
General principle
All documents shall be available for reuse:
(a) for commercial or non-commercial purposes under the conditions laid down in Article 6;
(b) without charge, subject to the provisions laid down in Article 9; and
(c) without the need to make an individual application, unless otherwise provided in Article 7.
This Decision shall be implemented in full respect of the rules on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data, and in particular Regulation (EC) No 45/2001.
Data portal
The Commission shall set up a data portal as a single point of access to its structured data so as to facilitate linking and reuse for commercial and non-commercial purposes.
Commission services will identify and progressively make available suitable data in their possession. The data portal may provide access to data of other Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies at their request.
Conditions for reuse of documents
1. Documents shall be made available for reuse without application unless otherwise specified and without restrictions or, where appropriate, an open licence or disclaimer setting out conditions explaining the rights of reusers.
2. Those conditions, which shall not unnecessarily restrict possibilities for reuse, may include the following:
(a) the obligation for the reuser to acknowledge the source of the documents;
(b) the obligation not to distort the original meaning or message of the documents;
(c) the non-liability of the Commission for any consequence stemming from the reuse.
Where it is necessary to apply other conditions to a particular class of documents, the inter-service group referred to in Article 12 will be consulted.
Individual applications for reuse of documents
1. Where an individual application for reuse is necessary, the Commission services shall clearly indicate this in the relevant document or notice pointing to it and provide an address to which the application is to be submitted.
2. Individual applications for reuse shall be handled promptly by the relevant Commission service. An acknowledgement of receipt shall be submitted to the applicant. Within 15 working days from registration of the application, the Commission service or the Publications Office shall either allow reuse of the document requested and, where relevant, provide a copy of the document, or, in a written reply, indicate the total or partial refusal of the application, stating the reasons.
3. Where an application for reuse of a document concerns a very long document, a very large number of documents or the application needs to be translated, the time limit provided for in paragraph 2 may be extended by 15 working days, provided that the applicant is notified in advance and that detailed reasons for the extension are given.
4. Where an application for reuse of a document is refused, the Commission service or the Publications Office shall inform the applicant of the right to bring an action before the Court of Justice of the European Union or to lodge a complaint with the European Ombudsman, under the conditions laid down in Articles 263 and 228, respectively, of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
5. Where a refusal is based on point (b) of Article 2(2) of this Decision, the reply to the applicant shall include a reference to the natural or legal person who is the rightholder, where known, or alternatively to the licensor from which the Commission has obtained the relevant material, where known.
Formats for documents available for reuse
1. Documents shall be made available in any existing format or language version, in machine-readable format where possible and appropriate.
2. This shall not imply an obligation to create, adapt or update documents in order to comply with the application, nor to provide extracts from documents where it would involve disproportionate effort, going beyond a simple operation.
3. This Decision does not create any obligation for the Commission to translate the requested documents into any other official language versions than those already available at the moment of the application.
4. The Commission or the Publications Office may not be required to continue the production of certain types of documents or to preserve them in a given format with a view to the reuse of such documents by a natural or legal person.
Rules on charging
1. The reuse of documents shall in principle be free of charge.
2. In exceptional cases, marginal costs incurred for the reproduction and dissemination of documents may be recovered.
3. Where the Commission decides to adapt a document in order to satisfy a specific application, the costs involved in the adaptation may be recovered from the applicant. The assessment of the need to recover such costs shall take into account the effort necessary for the adaptation as well as the potential advantages the reuse may bring to the Union, for example in terms of spreading information on the functioning of the Union or in terms of enhancing the public image of the Institution.
0
Transparency
1. Any applicable conditions and standard charges for the documents available for reuse shall be pre-established and published, through electronic means where possible and appropriate.
2. The search for documents shall be facilitated by practical arrangements, such as asset-lists of main documents available for reuse.
1
Non-discrimination and exclusive rights
1. Any applicable conditions for the reuse of documents shall be non-discriminatory for comparable categories of reuse.
2. The reuse of documents shall be open to all potential actors in the market. No exclusive rights shall be granted.
3. However, where an exclusive right is necessary for the provision of a service in the public interest, the validity of the reason for granting such an exclusive right shall be subject to regular review, and shall, in any event, be reviewed after 3 years. Any exclusive arrangement shall be transparent and made public.
4. Exclusive rights may be granted to publishers of scientific and scholarly journals for articles based on the work of Commission officials for a limited period.
2
Inter-service group
1. An inter-service group shall be set up, chaired by the Director-General responsible for this Decision, or his representative. It shall be composed of representatives of the Directorates-General and Services. It shall discuss issues of common concern and draw up a report on the implementation of the Decision every 12 months.
2. A steering committee chaired by the Publications Office and comprising the Secretariat-General, the Directorate-General for Communication, the Directorate-General for Information Society and Media, the Directorate-General for Informatics and several Directorates-General representing the data providers will oversee the project leading to the implementation of the data portal. Other institutions may be invited to join the committee at a later stage.
3. The terms of the open licence referred to in Article 6 shall be settled in agreement by the Directors-General responsible for this Decision and for the administrative execution of decisions related to intellectual property rights at the Commission, after consultation of the inter-service group referred to in paragraph 1.

Review
This Decision shall be reviewed 3 years after its entry into force.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1), and in particular Article 183 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 1(1) of Commission Regulation (EU) No 642/2010 (2) states that the import duty on products covered by CN codes 1001 11 00, 1001 19 00, ex 1001 91 20 [common wheat seed], ex 1001 99 00 (high quality common wheat other than for sowing), 1002 10 00, 1002 90 00, 1005 10 90, 1005 90 00, 1007 10 90 and 1007 90 00 is to be equal to the intervention price valid for such products on importation and increased by 55 %, minus the CIF import price applicable to the consignment in question. However, that duty may not exceed the rate of duty in the Common Customs Tariff.
(2) Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) No 642/2010 lays down that, for the purposes of calculating the import duty referred to in paragraph 1 of that Article, representative CIF import prices are to be established on a regular basis for the products referred to in that paragraph.

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 16(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 of 4 December 2007 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC. That list includes 4,5-Dichloro-2-octyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one.
(2) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, 4,5-Dichloro-2-octyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 8, wood preservatives, as defined in Annex V to that Directive.
(3) Norway was designated as Rapporteur and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 8 September 2008 in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.
(4) The competent authority report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 16 December 2010, in an assessment report.
(5) It appears from the evaluations that biocidal products used as wood preservatives and containing 4,5-Dichloro-2-octyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC. It is therefore appropriate to include 4,5-Dichloro-2-octyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one in Annex I to that Directive.
(6) Not all potential uses have been evaluated at Union level. It is therefore appropriate that Member States assess those uses or exposure scenarios and those risks to human populations and to environmental compartments that have not been representatively addressed in the Union level risk assessment and, when granting product authorisations, ensure that appropriate measures are taken or specific conditions imposed in order to reduce the identified risks to acceptable levels.
(7) In view of the risks identified for human health, it is appropriate to require that safe operational procedures are established for products authorised for industrial or professional use, and that those products are used with appropriate personal protective equipment unless it can be demonstrated in the application for product authorisation that risks to industrial or professional users can be reduced to an acceptable level by other means.
(8) In view of the risks identified for the aquatic and terrestrial compartments, it is appropriate to require that freshly treated timber is stored after treatment under shelter or on impermeable hard standing, or both, and that any losses from the application of products used as wood preservatives and containing 4,5-Dichloro-2-octyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one are collected for reuse or disposal.
(9) Unacceptable risks for the environment were identified in various scenarios for in-service use of treated wood not covered and not in contact with the ground, which is either continually exposed to the weather or protected from the weather but subject to frequent wetting (use class 3 as defined by OECD (3)) and wood in contact with fresh water (use class 4b as defined by OECD (4)). It is therefore appropriate to require that products are not authorised for the treatment of wood intended for those uses, unless data is submitted demonstrating that the product will meet the requirements of both Article 5 of and Annex VI to Directive 98/8/EC, if necessary by the application of appropriate risk mitigation measures.
(10) It is important that the provisions of this Directive be applied simultaneously in all Member States in order to ensure equal treatment of biocidal products on the market containing the active substance 4,5-Dichloro-2-octyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one and also to facilitate the proper operation of the biocidal products market in general.
(11) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC in order to permit Member States and interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed and to ensure that applicants who have prepared dossiers can benefit fully from the 10-year period of data protection, which, in accordance with Article 12(1)(c)(ii) of Directive 98/8/EC, starts from the date of inclusion.
(12) After inclusion, Member States should be allowed a reasonable period to implement Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC.
(13) Directive 98/8/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(14) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,
Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.

Whereas the conditions under which orange juice is marketed are affected by competition from third countries offering prices which are substantially lower than those applied in the Community; whereas the constant fall in the prices of imported products has been accompanied by a substantial increase in the quantities imported;
Whereas, under those circumstances, the Community market is exposed to serious disturbances which might endanger the objectives set out in Article 39 of the Treaty;
Whereas measures should be taken to enable imports of orange juice from third countries to be kept under close surveillance; whereas, with a view to that objective, provision should be made for release for free circulation of the product in question to be made subject to the presentation of a licence and for licence applications to be accompanied by particulars regarding the product to be imported; whereas those particulars should be checked against the contracts between importers and suppliers;
Whereas with a view to enabling supplementary measures to be adopted by the Commission if the market situation so requires, provision should be made for a given period to elapse between applications and the actual issue of import licences;
Whereas the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3183/80 of 3 December 1980 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 592/86 (4) should be applied,

Such licences shall be valid throughout the Community.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 of 12 October 1993 on common rules for imports of certain textile products from third countries (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1445/97 (2), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Whereas additional quotas to those indicated in Annex V to Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 may be opened when required under special circumstances; whereas the Commission has received a request to open additional quotas in view of trade fairs to be held in 1998;
Whereas additional quotas have already been opened for trade fairs in previous years for certain third countries;
Whereas access to the additional quotas should be limited to products which have been exhibited by the exporting countries at the relevant fair and for the quantities agreed to by sales contracts, as certified by the competent authorities of the Member State where the fair is taking place;
Whereas in order to avoid over-utilisation of these additional quotas it appears appropriate to request the Member State of the territory in which the fair is taking place, on the one hand, to ensure that the total amounts covered by certified contracts do not exceed the limits set for these additional quotas and, on the other hand, to inform the Commission after closure of the fair of the total quantities covered by such certified contracts;
Whereas it seems appropriate to apply to imports into the Community of products for which the additional quotas are opened the provision of Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 which are applicable to imports of products subject to quantitative limits set out in Annex V to the said Regulation, with the exception of those relating to flexibilities;
Whereas requests for import authorisations should moreover be accompanied by the contract signed at the relevant fair, as certified by the competent authorities of the Member State where it is held;
Whereas in order to avoid circumvention, issue of import authorisations should only cover products shipped in the supplier country in which they originate no earlier than 30 days after the closure of the relevant fair;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textile Committee,
In addition to the quantitative limits on imports established by Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93, additional quotas shall be opened in respect of the trade fairs to be held in 1998 in the European Community as set out in the Annex hereto.
1. Access to the additional quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be limited to such products which have been exhibited by the exporting countries at the fair and for the quantities agreed by a sales contract signed at the relevant fair as certified by the competent authorities of the Member States where the fair takes place.
2. The competent authorities of the Member State in the territory of which the fair is taking place shall ensure that the total amounts covered by certified contracts do not exceed the limits fixed in the Annex.
3. The Commission shall be informed by the relevant Member State not later than 30 days after the closure of the fair of the total quantities covered by contracts certified as having been concluded during the fair. This information shall be provided by supplier country and category.
1. Without prejudice to paragraphs 2 and 3 imports into the Community of products for which additional quotas have been opened shall be subject to the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 which are applicable to imports of products subject to quantitative limits established in Annex V to the said Regulation, with the exception of those relating to flexibilities.
2. Import authorisations can only be issued on the presentation of an export licence bearing in box 9 an indication of the fair and year to which they relate and accompanied by the original of the certified contract referred to in Article 2.
3. Import authorisations shall only cover products shipped into the Community in the third country in which they originate no earlier than 30 days after the closure of the fair.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy (1), and in particular Article 21(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 2340/2002 of 16 December 2002 fixing for 2003 and 2004 the fishing opportunities for deep-sea fish stocks (2) lays down quotas for blue ling for 2004.
(2) In order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantity limits on catches of stocks subject to quotas, the Commission must fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are hereby deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated.
(3) According to the information received by the Commission, catches of blue ling in the waters of ICES sub-areas VI, VII (EC waters and waters not subject to the sovereignty or jurisdiction of third countries) by vessels flying the flag of the United Kingdom or registered in the United Kingdom have exhausted the quota for 2004. The United Kingdom has prohibited fishing for this stock from 9 August 2004. This date should be adopted in this Regulation also,
Catches of blue ling in the waters of ICES sub-areas VI, VII (EC waters and waters not subject to the sovereignty or jurisdiction of third countries) by vessels flying the flag of the United Kingdom or registered in the United Kingdom have exhausted the quota allocated to the United Kingdom for 2004.
Fishing for blue ling in the waters of ICES sub-areas VI, VII (EC waters and waters not subject to the sovereignty or jurisdiction of third countries) by vessels flying the flag of the United Kingdom or registered in the United Kingdom is hereby prohibited, as is the retention on board, transhipment and landing of this stock caught by the above vessels after the date of application of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 of 29 December 1981 on the common organization of the market in fishery products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2315/86 (2), and in particular Article 17 (6) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1196/76 of 17 May 1976 laying down general rules for the granting of compensation to producers of tuna for the canning industry (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas the detailed rules for granting the compensatory allowance were laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2469/86 of 31 July 1986 laying down detailed rules for the granting of compensation to producers of tuna for the canning industry (4);
Whereas compensation is to be granted, if necessary, to Community producers of tuna in respect of tuna for the canning industry; whereas this measure was included in order to compensate Community producers for any disadvantages that may arise under the import arrangements; whereas by virtue of those arrangements a fall in the import prices for tuna could directly threaten the income level of Community producers of this product;
Whereas compensation is granted for the quantities of tuna supplied to the canning industry during the three-month period for which prices were recorded, where simultaneously the quarterly average price on the Community market and the free-at-frontier price are less than 90 % of the Community producer price and this fall in prices is occasioned by the level of prices on the world market in tuna and is not caused by an abnormal increase in the quantities produced by Community producers and landed in the Community;
Whereas, since the application of these arrangements to Spain and Portugal was postponed until 1 March 1986 in accordance with Article 394 of the Act of Accession, the situation on the markets in those two Member States can be assessed only on the basis of information covering each three-month period from 1 March 1986; whereas from 1 January 1987 orwards the analysis of the compensation file for tuna should be made for the Community as a whole and with the same periodicity, the application of this method for the 1986 fishing year makes it necessary, exceptionally, to consider the period from 1 September to 31 December 1986 as the third three- month period from 1 March 1986; whereas the market situation in Spain and Portugal should therefore be assessed on the basis of the situation prevailing from the second three-month period following that date and the maximum amount of the compensation fixed, where appropriate, for the period commencing on 1 September 1986;
Whereas an analysis of the situation on the market in tuna in Spain has shown that for certain species and presentations of the product considered, during the period 1 September to 31 December of the 1986 fishing year, both the quarterly average market price and the entry price referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1196/76 were less than 90 % of the Community producer price in force, as fixed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3605/85 of 17 December 1985 fixing the Community producer price for tuna intended for the canning industry for the 1986 fishing year (5);
Whereas the information currently available to the Commission does not suggest that the current level of prices on the Community market in Spain is caused by an abnormal increase in the quantities of Spanish production landed in the Community;
Whereas compensation should therefore be granted, for the period 1 September to 31 December 1986, to tuna producers established in Spain and the maximum amount of compensation for each of the products concerned should be fixed within the limits necessary to ensure that the fall in prices on the Community market does not threaten the income derived by producers of the products from the sale of the quantities produced, be it on the Community market or on that of third countries; whereas in order to assess the actual fall in income on the basis of available data, reference should be made to trends over a sufficiently representative period by means of appropriate criteria; whereas this maximum amount is fixed on the basis of data which, in the immediate future, of necessity reflect a situation which is fragmentary because limited to only part of the fishing year and as the year progresses it
will be necessary to take into account all the factors contributing to a more complete assessment of the situation;
Whereas the Management Committee for Fishery Products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
1. The compensation referred to in Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 shall apply for the period 1 September to 31 December 1986 to producers of tuna established in Spain for products intended for the canning industry in the Community within the following maximum amounts:
(ECU/tonne)
1.2 // // // Product // Maximum amount of compensation // // // Yellowfin tuna, whole, weighing more than 10 kg each // 70 // Yellowfin tuna, whole, weighing not more than 10 kg each // 82 // Whole skipjack // 0 // Big eye tuna // 0 // Albacore // 0 // //
2. The compensation shall be granted in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 2469/86.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Whereas, Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3815/89 (2), lays down detailed rules for the application of the compensation mechanism to imports of fruit and vegetables from Spain;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 152 of the Act of Accession, a compensation mechanism is to be introduced on imports into the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985, hereinafter referred to as 'the Community of Ten', from 1 January 1990, of fruit and vegetables from Spain for which a reference price is fixed with regard to third countries; whereas, Community offer prices for lemons coming from Spain should be fixed only during the period where reference prices are fixed with regard to third countries, this means from 1 June up to and including 31 May of the following year;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 152 (2) (a) of the Act of Accession, a Community offer price is to be calculated annually on the basis of the arithmetic mean of the producer prices in each Member State of the Community of Ten, plus transport and packaging costs incurred by the products from the producton regions to the representative consumption centres of the Community and bearing in mind developments in the cost of production in the fruit and vegetable sector; whereas the abovementioned producer prices correspond to the average prices recorded during the three years preceding the date of fixing of the Community offer price; whereas, however, the annual Community offer price cannot exceed the reference price applied for third countries;
Whereas, in order to take account of seasonal variations in prices, the marketing year should be divided into one or more periods and a Community offer price should be fixed for each of them;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 3709/89, the producer prices to be used for the determination of the Community offer price are to be those of a domestic product defined by its commercial characteristics recorded on the representative market or markets located in the production areas where prices are lowest for products or varieties representing a considerable proportion of production marketed throughout the year or during a part of the latter and which meet quality class I requirements and conditions laid down as regards packaging; whereas the average price for each representative market must be established after disregarding prices which may be considered excessively high or excessively low compared with the normal fluctuations recorded on the market; whereas, moreover, if the average price for a Member State shows excessive variations with respect of normal price fluctuations it shall not be taken into account;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 784/90 of 29 March 1990 fixing the reducing coefficient for agricultural prices in the 1990/91 marketing year as a result of the monetary realignment of 5 January 1990 and amending the prices and amounts fixed in ecus for that marketing year (3) establishes the list of prices and amounts to which the coefficient 1,001712 is applied in the framework of the arrangements on the automatic dismantlement of negative monetary gaps; whereas the prices and amounts fixed in ecus by the Commission for the 1990/91 marketing year must take account of the resulting reduction;
Whereas this reducing coefficient shall apply to the prices referred to above; whereas this adjustment shall enter into force on the day of entry into force of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1179/90 (4) fixing the agricultural conversion rates;
Whereas the application of the abovementioned criteria results in Community offer prices being fixed for lemons for the period 1 June 1990 to 31 May 1991 at the levels set out hereinafter;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
For the 1990/91 marketing year, the Community offer prices for lemons (CN code 0805 30 10), expressed in ecus per 100 kilograms net of packed products of class I, of all sizes, shall be as follows:

Whereas Article 6 (3) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3440/84 (4) provides for the attachment of a strengthening bag to trawls, Danish seines and similar nets provided that its mesh size shall in no case be less than 80 millimetres;
Whereas experience has shown that the use of strengthening bags having this mesh size with nets having a mesh size less than 40 millimetres results in the formation of pockets of net with consequent damage to the catch due to technical problems in removing the catch from the codend and with consequent wear and tear of the codend;
Whereas the use of a strengthening bag with a smaller mesh size would avoid these problems without having adverse consequences for the conservation of fish stocks;

'2. It is prohibited to use more than one strenthening bag except when attached to trawls having a mesh size equal to or less than 60 millimetres, for which two strenthening bags may be used.';
- Paragraph 3 is replaced by the following text:
'3. The mesh size shall be equal to at least twice that of the codend. If a second strengthening bag is used, its minimum mesh size shall be 120 millimetres.';
- Paragraph 6 is replaced by the following text:
'6. Strengthening bags attached to trawls having a mesh size greater than 60 millimetres shall not extend more than two metres in front of the rear lifting strap.';
- Paragraph 7 is replaced by the following text:
'7. Notwithstanding paragraph 1, strengthening bags smaller than the dimensions of the codend may be attached to nets having a mesh size equal to or less than 60 millimetres.'.

Whereas, in the light of the latest scientific advice, provision should be made for an increase in mesh size when fishing in the English Channel;
Whereas the amendments to the rules governing fishing operations in the Skagerrak and Kattegat, agreed between the delegations of the Community and those of Norway and Sweden, should be implemented; whereas, as a result, provision should be made for an increase in mesh size when fishing in the Skagerrak and Kattegat for all authorized target species, for prawn (Pandalus borealis) and for shrimps (Crangon spp. and Leander adspersus),
Regulation (EEC) No 3094/86 is hereby amended as follows:

31981D0767 | 81/767/EEC: Commission Decision of 9 September 1981 on a proposal by the Netherlands Government to grant aid for investment by an electrical and electronics engineering firm (Only the Dutch text is authentic)
| COMMISSION DECISION of 9 September 1981 on a proposal by the Netherlands Government to grant aid for investment by an electrical and electronics engineering firm (Only the Dutch text is authentic) (81/767/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 93 (2) thereof,
Having given notice in accordance with the above Article to interested parties to submit their comments and having regard to these comments,
I
Whereas Article 6 of the Netherlands law of 29 June 1978 (Wet Investeringsrekening - WIR) (1) on the promotion and guidance of investment introduced an "additional premium for major schemes" for the benefit of projects where investment exceeds Fl 30 million. The amount of the premium depends on the number of jobs created and may account for up to 4 % of the investment in question.
When examining the Netherlands Law at the draft stage, in the course of the procedure under Article 93 (3) of the EEC Treaty, the Commission pointed out that since the "additional premium for major schemes" involved no sectoral or regional objectives it therefore constituted a general aid system, and that since the arrangements applied to all investment, without distinction by reference to given undertakings, regions or sectors, they could not qualify for the derogations under Article 92 (3) (a) or (c). In the absence of such specification, the Commission could not assess the system's effects on trade between Member States and on competition and therefore assess its compatibility with the common market.
In respect of such general aid systems it is now the well-established policy of the Commission to accept them subject to one of two conditions, namely, that the Member State concerned notifies to the Commission either a plan for regional or sectoral application or, alternatively, where this is felt not to be possible, significant individual cases of application.
In line with this approach, and in accordance with Article 93 (3) of the EEC Treaty, the Commission requested prior notification in good time of individual cases of application of the "additional premium for major schemes", account being taken of the amount of investment concerned.
During discussions with the Netherlands authorities, the Commission stated that it would assess each case on its own merits in the light of the rules contained in Article 92 et seq. or rules developed during administration of those provisions. The Netherlands Government could not infer that, by requesting regular prior notification, the Commission had taken a favourable view of the additional premium system.
The Netherlands Government complied with the Commission's request by including the prior notification procedure in Articles 6 (7) and 7 (3) of Chapter V of the Netherlands Law of 29 June 1978.
II
By letters dated 6, 10 and 12 April 1979 the Netherlands Government notified the Commission, as required by the procedure, of its intention to grant the additional premium for major schemes to an international electrical and electronics engineering firm.
The aid was to be granted to the firm to help modernize administrative buildings, replace power plant and build a new laboratory. The investment would not create any new jobs.
Total investment was estimated at Fl 284 73 million and the scheme would qualify for a Fl 11 74 million subsidy by way of the additional premium for major schemes under the WIR scheme. On account of its location in the Eindhoven area, the project does not qualify for regional aid. (1) Staatsblad 1978, No 368.
The group, of which the company in question is a part, already operates at Eindhoven and regards the investment - replacing out-of-date equipment and improving the group's research capacity - as a profitable undertaking.

The Netherlands Government replied on 27 July 1979 to the Commission's notice under Article 93 of the EEC Treaty stressing that the WIR scheme operated automatically, that aid could not be granted selectively in accordance with the desirability of the investment concerned and that the large amount of investment involved created financing problems even for a major group, notably on account of the investment which it had to make in order to remain competitive on a rapidly evolving market.
In the course of consultations with interested parties the Government of a Member State expressed reservations about the proposed aid. The firm concerned stressed that the investment envisaged would help to improve research capacity and productivity in certain areas.
IV
The aid proposed by the Netherlands Government is therefore liable to affect trade between Member States and to distort of threaten to distort competition within the meaning of Article 92 (1) of the EEC Treaty by favouring the undertaking in question or the production of its goods.
Article 92 (1) of the EEC Treaty provides that, in principle, any aid fulfilling the criteria which it sets out is incompatible with the common market. The derogations from this principle set out in Article 92 (3) of the EEC Treaty specify objectives pursued in the Community interest and not in that of the individual recipient of the aid. These derogations must be strictly interpreted in the examination both of any regional or sectoral aid scheme and of any individual case of application of general aid systems. In particular, they may be applied only where the Commission establish that, in the absence of the aid, the free play of market forces would not of itself induce the recipient undertakings to act in such a manner as to contribute to the attainment of one of the objectives specified by those derogations.
To derogate in this way in favour of aids offering no compensatory benefit would be tantamount to allowing trade between Member States to be affected and competition to be distorted without any justification in terms of the interest of the Community, while at the same time granting undue advantages to certain Member States.
When applying the principles set out above in its examination of individual cases of application of general aid systems, the Commission must be satisfied that there exists on the part of the recipient undertaking a specific compensatory justification in that the grant of aid is required to promote the attainment of one of the objectives set out in Article 92 (3) of the Treaty. Where this cannot be demonstrated, and especially where the proposed investment nevertheless takes place, it is clear that the aid does not contribute to the attainment of the objective of the derogations but serves to increase the financial power of the undertaking in question.
In the case in question there does not appear to be such a compensatory justification on the part of the recipient of the aid.
The Netherlands Government has not been able to give, nor has the Commission found, any grounds to establish that the proposed aid meets the conditions justifying one of the derogations for which provision is made in Article 92 (3) of the EEC Treaty.
As regards the derogations of Article 92 (3) (a) and (c) of the EEC Treaty concerning aid to promote or to facilitate the development of certain areas, it cannot be considered that the standard of living in the Eindhoven area is "abnormally low" or that it suffers from "serious under-employment" within the meaning of subparagraph (a). As regards the derogation of subparagraph (c), the Netherlands Government has not included that area amongst those requiring special regional development aid. The Netherlands Government has not included that area amongst those requiring special regional development aid. The Netherlands Government, in its comments submitted to the Commission, itself emphasized that the "additional premium for major schemes" was not granted on account of regional considerations.
In respect of the derogations envisaged in Article 92 (3) (b) of the EEC Treaty, investment of this type is brought about in a general way by normal market forces. Moreover, there is nothing peculiar to the investment in question to qualify it as a project of common European interest or as one designed to remedy a serious disturbance in the economy of a Member State, the promotion of which merits a derogation under Article 92 (3) (b) of the EEC Treaty from the principle of the incompatibility of aids laid down by Article 92 (1). In stating its views on the WIR, the Commission recalled that the Netherlands are part of the Community's central regions. These regions are not suffering from the most serious economic and social problems in the Community but they are the regions where there is a real risk of an upward spiral of aids, and where any aid is likely, more than elsewhere, to affect trade between Member States. Furthermore, the information available on the socio-economic situation in that country does not point to the conclusion that it is suffering from a serious disturbance in its economy within the meaning of the Treaty. In individual cases of application the "additional premium for major projects" is not granted for the purpose of dealing with such a situation.
To take any other view would enable the Netherlands, in the present climate of slow growth and high unemployment throughout the Community, to divert to their advantage investment which might be made in other, less well-placed, Member States. Recent social and economic trends in the Community justify maintaining this approach as regards both the scheme itself and possible cases of application.
Finally, as regards the derogation provided for in Article 92 (3) (c) in favour of "aid to facilitate the development of certain economic activities", scrutiny of the electrical and electronics engineering industry as a whole gives reason to conclude that the play of market forces should itself be capable, without State intervention, of ensuring a normal development of this activity ; in the present case the objective is essentially to facilitate investment for the replacement and updating of production and research facilities which are in the interests of the firm itself.
In view of the foregoing, the abovementioned aid proposed by the Netherlands Government does not fulfil the conditions necessary for it to benefit from any of the derogations referred to in Article 92 (3) of the EEC Treaty,
The Kingdom of the Netherlands shall refrain from implementing its proposal, notified to the Commission by letters dated 6, 10 and 12 April 1979 from its Minister for Foreign Affairs, to grant the "additional premium for major schemes" in favour of investment made at Eindhoven by a Netherlands electrical and electronics engineering firm.
The Kingdom of the Netherlands shall inform the Commission, within two months of the date of notification of this Decision, of the measures which it has taken to comply with it.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of the Netherlands. | 0 | 0 | 0.4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.4 | 0.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas the market in tomatoes grown under glass has different characteristics from those of the market in open-grown tomatoes; whereas tomatoes grown under glass are mainly 'Extra' class and class I products, the prices for which are considerably higher than those for open-grown products;
Whereas, in order to provide more effective support for the market grown under glass, producers' organizations or associations of such organizations should be allowed to fix their withdrawal price; whereas, in accordance with the last subparagraph of
Article 18
(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, it appears that the maximum level of the withdrawal price for these products can justifiably be fixed by applying, to the prices fixed for the 1993 marketing year a variation of the same order as that applied by the Council when fixing the basic prices and buying-in prices for tomatoes for the 1994 marketing year;
Whereas the maximum levels of withdrawal prices for tomatoes grown under glass for the 1994 marketing year must be reduced by 0,26 %; whereas this reduction is arising from the monetary realignments of January and May 1993;
Whereas the measures provided in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
Until the end of the 1994 marketing year, producers' organizations or associations of such organizations may fix withdrawal prices, not exceeding the following maxima, in ecus per 100 kilograms net, for tomatoes grown under glass:

Whereas Czechoslovakia has forwarded, in accordance with Article 4 (3) of Directive 72/462/EEC, a list of the establishments authorized to export fresh meat to the Community;
Whereas Community on-the-spot visits have shown that the hygiene standards of many of these establishments are sufficient and they may therefore be entered on a first list, drawn up according to Article 4 (1) of the said Directive, of establishments from which importation of fresh meat may be authorized;
Whereas the case of the other establishments proposed by Czechoslovakia has to be re-examined on the basis of additional information regarding their hygiene standards and their ability to adapt quickly to Community rules;

Whereas the conditions for the importation of fresh meat from establishments appearing in the Annex remain subject to veterinary provisions laid down and to the general provisions of the Treaty ; whereas, in particular, the importation from third countries and the re-exportation to other Member States of certain categories of meat, such as cuts weighing less than 3 kg, or meat containing residues of certain substances, which are not yet covered by harmonized Community rules, remain subject to the health legislation of the importing Member State;
Whereas, in the absence of any favourable opinion from the Standing Veterinary Committee, the Commission is unable to adopt the measures it had envisaged on this matter under the procedure provided for in Article 29 of Directive 72/462/EEC,
1. The establishments in Czechoslovakia listed in the Annex are hereby approved for the purposes of exporting fresh meat into the Community.
