(2) That procedure should be opened for exports during 2005 and the additional rules relating to it should be determined.
(3) In administering imports the competent authorities in the USA make a distinction between the additional quota granted to the European Community under the Uruguay Round and the quotas resulting from the Tokyo Round. Export licences should be allocated taking into account the eligibility of those products for the US quota in question as described in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States of America.
(4) In order to provide stability and security for operators lodging applications under this special regime, it is appropriate to fix the day on which applications are deemed to have been lodged for the purposes of Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 174/1999.
(5) The Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
Export licences for products falling within CN code 0406 and listed in Annex I to this Regulation to be exported to the United States of America in 2005 under the quotas referred to in Article 20(1) of Regulation (EC) No 174/1999 shall be issued in accordance with Article 20 of Regulation (EC) No 174/1999 and this Regulation.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 June 2000 on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer (1), and in particular Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Community has already phased out the production and consumption of chlorofluorocarbons, other fully halogenated chlorofluorocarbons, halons, carbon tetrachloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, hydrobromofluorocarbon and bromochloromethane.
(2) Each year the Commission is required to determine essential uses for these controlled substances, the quantities that may be used and the companies that may use them.
(3) Decision IV/25 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, hereinafter ‘the Montreal Protocol’, sets out the criteria used by the Commission for determining any essential uses and authorises the production and consumption necessary to satisfy essential uses of controlled substances in each Party.
(4) Decision XV/8 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol authorises the production and consumption necessary to satisfy essential uses of controlled substances listed in Annexes A, B and C (Group II and III substances) of the Montreal Protocol for laboratory and analytical uses as listed in Annex IV to the report of the Seventh Meeting of the Parties, subject to the conditions set out in Annex II to the report of the Sixth Meeting of the Parties, as well as Decisions VII/11, XI/15 and XV/5 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol. Decision XVII/10 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol authorises the production and consumption of the controlled substance listed in Annex E of the Montreal Protocol necessary to satisfy laboratory and analytical uses of methyl bromide.
(5) Pursuant to paragraph 3 of Decision XII/2 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol on measures to facilitate the transition to chlorofluorocarbon-free Metered-Dose Inhalers (MDIs), all Member States have notified (2) to the United Nations Environment Programme the active ingredients for which chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are no longer essential for the manufacture of CFC-MDIs for placing on the market of the European Community.
(6) Article 4(4)(i)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 prevents CFCs from being used and placed on the market unless they are considered essential under the conditions described in Article 3(1) of that Regulation. These non-essentiality determinations have therefore reduced the demand for CFCs used in MDIs that are placed on the market of the European Community. In addition, Article 4(6) of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 prevents CFC-MDI products being imported and placed on the market unless the CFCs in these products are considered essential under the conditions described in Article 3(1).
(7) The Commission has published a Notice (3) on the 22 July 2006 to those companies in the Community of 25 Member States that request consideration by the Commission for the use of controlled substances for essential uses in the Community in 2007 and has received declarations on intended essential uses of controlled substances for 2007.
(8) For the purpose of ensuring that interested companies and operators may continue to benefit in due time from the licensing system, it is appropriate that the present decision shall apply from 1 January 2007.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee established by Article 18(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000,
1. The quantity of controlled substances of Group I (chlorofluorocarbons 11, 12, 113, 114 and 115) subject to Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 which may be used for essential medical uses in the Community in 2007 shall be 316 257,00 ODP (4) kilograms.
2. The quantity of controlled substances of Group I (chlorofluorocarbons 11, 12, 113, 114 and 115) and Group II (other fully halogenated chlorofluorocarbons) subject to Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 which may be used for essential laboratory uses in the Community in 2007 shall be 65 900,9 ODP kilograms.
3. The quantity of controlled substances of Group III (halons) subject to Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 that may be used for essential laboratory use in the Community in 2007 shall be 718,7 ODP kilograms.
4. The quantity of controlled substances of Group IV (carbon tetrachloride) subject to Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 that may be used for essential laboratory uses in the Community in 2007 shall be 147 110 436 ODP kilograms.
5. The quantity of controlled substances of Group V (1,1,1-trichloroethane) subject to Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 that may be used for essential laboratory uses in the European Union in 2007 shall be 672,0 ODP kilograms.
6. The quantity of controlled substances of Group VI (methyl bromide) subject to Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 that may be used for laboratory and analytical uses in the Community in 2007 shall be 150,0 ODP kilograms.
7. The quantity of controlled substances of Group VII (hydrobromofluorocarbons) subject to Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 that may be used for essential laboratory uses in the Community in 2007 shall be 3,52 ODP kilograms.
8. The quantity of controlled substances of group IX (bromochloromethane) subject to Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 that may be used for essential laboratory uses in the Community in 2007 shall be 12 048 ODP kilograms.
The chlorofluorocarbon metered-dose inhalers listed in Annex I shall not be placed on markets where the Competent Authority has determined chlorofluorocarbons for metered-dose inhalers on those markets to be non-essential.

establishing the standard import values for determining the entry price of certain fruit and vegetables
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1),
Having regard to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 of 7 June 2011 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 in respect of the fruit and vegetables and processed fruit and vegetables sectors (2), and in particular Article 136(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 lays down, pursuant to the outcome of the Uruguay Round multilateral trade negotiations, the criteria whereby the Commission fixes the standard values for imports from third countries, in respect of the products and periods stipulated in Annex XVI, Part A thereto.
(2) The standard import value is calculated each working day, in accordance with Article 136(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011, taking into account variable daily data. Therefore this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union,
The standard import values referred to in Article 136 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 are fixed in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 700/2007
of 11 June 2007
on the marketing of the meat of bovine animals aged 12 months or less
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament,
Whereas:
(1) The second subparagraph of Article 2, in conjunction with point (b) of the first subparagraph of that Article, of Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1) provides that the Council is to adopt general rules concerning measures to promote better organisation of production, processing and marketing.
(2) The systems of production of bovine animals aged 12 months or less and their characteristics at the time of slaughter often differ from one Member State to another. On the main consumer markets in the Community, meat from these different production systems is generally marketed under one single sales description.
(3) Experience shows that this practice could disturb trade and encourage unfair competition. Consequently, it has a direct effect on the establishment and functioning of the internal market.
(4) This practice could also cause confusion for consumers and is likely to mislead them.
(5) To improve the functioning of the internal market, the marketing of the meat of bovine animals aged 12 months or less should be organised in such a way as to make it as transparent as possible. This will also enable such production to be better organised. For that purpose, the sales descriptions to be used in each language of the Member States for the marketing of the meat of bovine animals aged 12 months or less should be specified. This will also improve information for consumers.
(6) In certain cases, the meat of bovine animals aged 12 months or less enjoys protection under Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 of 20 March 2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (2). In those cases it is marketed under the protected indication or designation and, as a result, can be precisely identified by operators and consumers. Accordingly, this Regulation should not affect those protected indications and designations.
(7) Various studies have shown that the organoleptic characteristics of meat, such as tenderness, flavour and colour, change with the age of the animals from which it is obtained and the feed used.
(8) According to a public consultation organised by the Commission in 2005, for a majority of consumers the age of the animals and what they have been fed on are important criteria in determining the characteristics of their meat. On the other hand, the weight of the animals on slaughter appears to be less important.
(9) The systems of production and the type of feed used for animals aged 12 months or less are linked to the age at which the animals go to slaughter. It is easier to monitor age on slaughter than the type of feed used. Consequently, the use of different sales descriptions according to the age of the animals should be sufficient to provide the necessary transparency.
(10) According to the same consultation, most consumers consider that animals aged eight months or less belong in a category of their own. That age limit is also used in Article 130 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 of 29 September 2003 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers (3) to determine the eligibility of animals for the slaughter premium. Therefore, that age limit should be used to divide the category of animals aged 12 months or less into two sub-categories.
(11) The consultation also showed that, depending on the Member State, consumer expectations of the same sales description can differ. Therefore, when selecting sales descriptions, it makes sense to take account as far as possible of customs and cultural traditions to help consumers make a choice in line with their expectations.
(12) Provision should also be made for the meat of bovine animals aged 12 months or less to be identified by a letter representing the category to which they belong.
(13) Operators wishing to supplement the sales descriptions provided for in this Regulation by other voluntary information should be able to do so in accordance with the procedure provided for in Articles 16 or 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 July 2000 establishing a system for the identification and registration of bovine animals and regarding the labelling of beef and beef products (4).
(14) To ensure correct use of the information on the labelling in accordance with this Regulation, the data enabling the correctness of the information on the labelling to be verified should be recorded at all stages of production and marketing. To this end, it should be possible to apply the recording system referred to in Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1825/2000 of 25 August 2000 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the labelling of beef and beef products (5), subject to necessary adaptations.
(15) The Member States should designate the authorities competent to carry out checks relating to the conditions laid down in this Regulation and provision should be made for the Commission to ensure, where necessary by means of on-the-spot checks, that those conditions are met.
(16) For the sake of consistency, provision should be made to ensure that meat imported from third countries meets the requirements of this Regulation. For that purpose, where checks are carried out by an independent third-party body, that body must provide full assurance of expertise, impartiality and objectivity.
(17) Member States should lay down rules on penalties applicable to infringements of the provisions of this Regulation and ensure that they are implemented. Those penalties should be effective, proportionate and dissuasive.
(18) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (6),
Purpose and scope
1. This Regulation lays down the conditions for the marketing in the Community of the meat of bovine animals aged 12 months or less, in particular the sales descriptions to be used.
It shall apply to the meat of bovine animals aged 12 months or less slaughtered after 1 July 2008, whether produced in the Community or imported from third countries.
2. This Regulation shall apply without prejudice to Council Regulation (EC) No 1183/2006 of 24 July 2006 concerning the Community scale for the classification of carcasses of adult bovine animals (7).
3. This Regulation shall not apply to the meat of bovine animals for which a protected designation of origin or geographical indication has been registered in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, before 29 June 2007.
Definition
For the purposes of this Regulation, ‘meat’ means all carcases, meat on the bone or boned, and offal, whether or not cut, intended for human consumption, obtained from bovine animals aged 12 months or less, presented fresh, frozen or deep-frozen, whether or not wrapped or packed.
Classification of bovine animals at the slaughterhouse
On slaughter, all bovine animals aged 12 months or less shall be classified by the operators, under the supervision of the competent authority referred to in Article 8(1), in one of the categories listed in Annex I.
Sales descriptions
1. The sale description is the name under which a foodstuff is sold, within the meaning of Article 5(1) of Directive 2000/13/CE of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 March 2000 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs (8).
The meat of bovine animals aged 12 months or less shall only be marketed in the Member States under the sales description(s) listed in Annex II laid down for each Member State.
The sales descriptions referred to in the first subparagraph may be supplemented by an indication of the name or designation of the pieces of meat or offal concerned.
2. The sales descriptions listed in Annex II, Part A and any new name derived from those sales descriptions shall only be used if all the requirements of this Regulation are met.
In particular, the terms ‘veau’, ‘telecí’, ‘Kalb’, ‘μοσχάρι’, ‘ternera’, ‘kalv’, ‘veal’, ‘vitello’, ‘vitella’, ‘kalf’, ‘vitela’ and ‘teletina’ shall not be used in a sales description or be indicated on the labelling of the meat of bovine animals aged more than 12 months.
Compulsory information on the label
1. Without prejudice to Article 3(1) of Directive 2000/13/EC and Articles 13, 14 and 15 of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000, at each stage of production and marketing, operators shall label the meat of bovine animals aged 12 months or less with the following information:
(a) the age of the animals on slaughter, indicated, as the case may be, on the form ‘age on slaughter: up to 8 months’ in the case of animals aged 8 months or less, or ‘age on slaughter: from 8 to 12 months’ in the case of animals aged more than 8 months but not more than 12 months;
(b) the sales description in accordance with Article 4 of this Regulation.
However, by way of derogation from subparagraph (a), operators may, at each stage of production and marketing, except the release to the final consumer, replace the age on slaughter by the category identification letter as defined in Annex I to this Regulation.
2. In the case of the meat of bovine animals aged 12 months or less presented for sale un-prepacked at the point of retail sale to the final consumer, Member States shall lay down rules on how the information referred to in paragraph 1 is to be indicated.
Optional information on the label
Operators may supplement the compulsory information referred to in Article 5 by optional information approved in accordance with the procedure provided for in Articles 16 or 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000.
Recording
At each stage of production and marketing of the meat of bovine animals aged 12 months or less, operators shall, in order to guarantee the accuracy of labelling information referred to in Articles 5 and 6, record in particular the following information:
(a) an indication of the identification number and the date of birth of the animals, at slaughterhouse level only;
(b) an indication of a reference number making it possible to establish a link between, on the one hand, the identification of the animals from which the meat originates and, on the other hand, the sales description, the age on slaughter and the category identification letter given on the meat label;
(c) an indication of the date of arrival and departure of the animals and meat in the establishment, to ensure that a correlation between arrivals and departures is established.
Official checks
1. Before 1 July 2008 Member States shall designate the competent authority or authorities responsible for official checks performed to verify the application of this Regulation and inform the Commission thereof.
2. Official checks shall be carried out by the competent authority or authorities in accordance with the general principles laid down in Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of 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 (9).
3. The Commission shall, jointly with the competent authorities, ensure that Member States are complying with the provisions of this Regulation.
The Commission's experts shall carry out, where required, jointly with the competent authorities concerned, and where applicable, the Member States' experts, on the spot checks to ensure that this Regulation is being implemented.
Any Member State on whose territory checks are carried out shall provide the Commission with all necessary assistance which it may require for the accomplishment of its tasks.
Meat imported from third countries
1. The meat of bovine animals aged 12 months or less imported from third countries shall be marketed in the Community in accordance with this Regulation.
2. Operators from a third country wishing to place on the Community market meat as referred to in paragraph 1 shall subject their activities to checks by a competent authority designated by that third country or, failing that, an independent third-party body. The independent body shall provide full assurance of compliance with the conditions laid down in European Standard EN 45011 or ISO/IEC Guide 65 (‘General requirements for bodies operating product certification systems’).
The designated competent authority or, where applicable, the independent third-party body shall ensure that the requirements of this Regulation are met.

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of 18 December 2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), establishing a European Chemicals Agency, amending Directive 1999/45/EC and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1488/94 as well as Council Directive 76/769/EEC and Commission Directives 91/155/EEC, 93/67/EEC, 93/105/EC and 2000/21/EC (1), and in particular Article 131 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 establishes registration obligations of Community manufacturers or importers of substances on their own, in preparations or articles, as well as provisions concerning evaluation of substances and the obligations of downstream users. Article 2(7)(a) of that Regulation provides that substances included in Annex IV are exempted from Titles II, V and VI of the same regulation as sufficient information is known about these substances that they are considered to cause minimum risk because of their intrinsic properties. In addition, Article 2(7)(b) of the same Regulation provides that substances covered by Annex V are exempted from the same titles of the Regulation, as registration is deemed inappropriate or unnecessary for these substances and their exemption from these titles does not prejudice the objectives of the Regulation.
(2) Article 138(4) of that Regulation requires the Commission to review Annexes IV and V by 1 June 2008 with a view to proposing amendments, if appropriate.
(3) The review carried out by the Commission pursuant to Article 138(4) has revealed that three substances listed in Annex IV should be removed from that Annex, as insufficient information is known about these substances for them to be considered as causing minimum risk because of their intrinsic properties. This is the case with vitamin A, as that substance may present significant risks of reproductive toxicity. This is also the case with carbon and graphite, in particular due to the fact that the concerned Einecs and/or CAS numbers are used to identify forms of carbon or graphite at the nano-scale, which do not meet the criteria for inclusion in this Annex.
(4) Furthermore, three noble gases (helium, neon and xenon) fulfil the criteria for inclusion into Annex IV and should therefore be moved there from Annex V. Another noble gas, krypton, which meets the criteria for inclusion in Annex IV, should be added to the Annex for reasons of consistency. Three other substances (fructose, galactose and lactose) should be added because they have been identified as meeting the criteria for inclusion in Annex IV. Limestone should be deleted from Annex IV as it is a mineral and is already exempted in Annex V. Finally, certain existing entries on oils, fats, waxes, fatty acids and their salts should be deleted, as not all of those substances meet the criteria for inclusion in Annex IV and it is more consistent to include them in a generic entry in Annex V, using a formulation to limit the exemption to substances with a lower hazard profile.
(5) The review carried out by the Commission pursuant to Article 138(4) of the Regulation has revealed that certain amendments should also be made to Annex V. Magnesia should be added, as it has been identified as a substance meeting the criteria for inclusion in Annex V. What is more, it is appropriate to add certain types of glass and ceramic frits which do not meet the classification criteria set out in Council Directive 67/548/EEC (2) and which, in addition, do not have dangerous constituents above the relevant concentration limits, unless there is scientific data proving that these constituents are not available. Certain vegetable oils, fats and waxes and animal oils, fats and waxes, as well as glycerol, that are obtained from natural sources, which are not chemically modified and which do not have any hazardous properties beyond flammability and skin or eye irritancy, should be added to Annex V in order to provide a more consistent treatment of comparable substances and to limit the exemption to substances with lower hazard properties. The same applies to certain fatty acids, which are obtained from natural sources and which are not chemically modified and which do not have any hazardous properties beyond flammability and skin or eye irritancy. The addition of oils, fats, waxes and fatty acids in Annex V corresponds to the deletion of certain individual substances of these groups listed in Annex IV.
(6) The amendments provided for in this Regulation, in particular compost and biogas, are without prejudice to Community legislation on waste.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established under Article 133 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006,
Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 is replaced by Annex I to this Regulation.
Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 is replaced by Annex II to this Regulation.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 66/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2009 on the EU Ecolabel (1), and in particular 8(2) thereof,
After consulting the European Union Eco-Labelling Board,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2012/481/EU (2) excludes board substrates above 400 g/m2 from the scope, as that Decision requires that printed paper products are printed only on paper bearing the EU Ecolabel as established in Commission Decision 2011/333/EU (3) or in Commission Decision 2012/448/EU (4). However, certain product categories, such as pads, notebooks, exercise books, spiral-bound notebooks and calendars with covers, included in the scope of Decision 2012/481/EU, entail the use of paperboard substrates which exceed 400 g/m2. Therefore, the implementation of the criteria for certain products has been impossible.
(2) The scope of Commission Decision 2014/256/EU (5) includes stationery paper products that consist of at least 70 % by weight of paper, paperboard or paper-based substrates and establishes requirements for board substrates with a basis weight higher than 400 g/m2.
(3) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up by Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 66/2010.
(4) Decision 2012/481/EU should therefore be amended accordingly,
Decision 2012/481/EU is amended as follows:
(1) in Article 1, paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:
(2) in paragraph 3 of Article 1, point (c) is replaced by the following:
‘(c) folders, envelopes, ring binders and stationery paper products.’;
(3) in Article 2, point (1) is replaced by the following:
‘(1) “Books” means yarn-bound and/or glue-bound printed paper products with hard or soft covers, such as school books, fiction or non-fiction books, reports, handbooks and paperbacks. “Books” do not include journals, brochures, magazines, catalogues published on a regular basis and annual reports.’;
(4) in Article 2, point (9) is replaced by the following:
‘(9) A “printed paper product” means the product resulting from the processing of a printing material. The processing consists of printing onto paper. In addition to printing, the processing may include finishing, for example folding, stamping and cutting or assembling, using glue, binding, yarn-binding. Printed paper products include newspapers, advertising materials and news-sheets, journals, catalogues, books, leaflets, brochures, posters, business cards and labels.’;
(5) Criterion 3 in Annex to Decision 2012/481/EU is amended:
(a) Wet strength agents may be used only if the recyclability of the finished product can be proved.
(b) Adhesives may be used only if their removability can be proved.
(c) Coating varnishes and lamination, including polyethene and/or polyethene/polypropylene, may be used only for covers of books, magazines and catalogues.
(d) The de-inkability shall be proved.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2702/1999 of 14 December 1999 on measures to provide information on, and to promote, agricultural products in third countries (1), and in particular Article 11 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 3 and 4 of Regulation (EC) No 2702/1999 provide the criteria to determine the markets and products for which information and/or promotion measures may be carried out in third countries. Those markets and products are listed in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2879/2000 (2).
(2) Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2702/1999 requires that every two years the Commission shall draw up a list of the markets and products referred to in Article 3 and 4 of that Regulation.
(3) The list of target markets should be revised to take account of the fact that Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Turkey and Ukraine are export markets with particular interest for certain Member States and with export potential for the Community in general.
(4) Flowers and plants are products where market balance could be improved through information and/or generic promotion measures in third countries. Those products should therefore be included in the list of products which may be covered by promotional measures in third countries.
(5) It is appropriate to extend the reference to cheese and yogurt in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2879/2000 to include milk products in general.
(6) Products with a protected designation of origin (PDO), with a protected geographical indication (PGI) or with a traditional specialty guaranteed (TSG) in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 2081/92 of 14 July 1992 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (3), or Council Regulation (EC) No 2082/92 of 14 July 1992 on certificates of specific character for agricultural products and foodstuffs (4), and products from organic farming, in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 2092/91 of 24 June 1991 on organic production of agricultural products and indications referring thereto on agricultural products and foodstuffs (5), are quality products the production of which are considered a priority in the context of the common agricultural policy. Those products should therefore be included in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2879/2000, so as to ensure that they can benefit from all promotion and information measures provided for in the third country promotion regime.
(7) Regulation (EC) No 2879/2000 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion delivered at the meeting of the Joint Management Committee for the Promotion of Agricultural Products,
The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2879/2000 is herewith replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 87(3)(e) thereof,
Having regard to the Council Decision of 29 July 2002 on the signature and provisional application of an Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and Romania, of the other part, with regard to an extension of the period laid down in Article 9(4) of Protocol 2 to the Europe Agreement,
Having regard to the Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and Romania, of the other part, with regard to an extension of the period laid down in Article 9(4) of Protocol 2 to the Europe Agreement, and in particular Article 3 thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and Romania, of the other part (1), entered into force on 1 February 1995.
(2) Article 9(4) of Protocol 2 to the Europe Agreement lays down that during the first five years after entry into force of the Agreement, and by derogation from paragraph 1(3), Romania may exceptionally, as regards steel products, grant public aid for restructuring purposes, provided that: this leads to the viability of the benefiting firms under normal market conditions at the end of the restructuring period, the amount and intensity of such aid are strictly limited to what is absolutely necessary in order to restore such viability and are progressively reduced, and the restructuring programme is linked to a global rationalising and reduction of capacity in Romania.
(3) The initial period of five years expired on 31 December 1997.
(4) Romania requested an extension of the abovementioned period in December 1997.
(5) It seemed appropriate to grant an extension of this period for an additional period of eight years starting on 1 January 1998 or until the date of Romania’s accession to the European Union, whichever comes first.
(6) To this effect, an Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement was signed by the Community and Romania on 23 October 2002 and is provisionally applied from that date.
(7) Under Article 2 of the Additional Protocol, the extension of the abovementioned period is made conditional on the submission by Romania to the Commission of a restructuring programme and business plans that meet the requirements of Article 9(4) of Protocol 2 to the Europe Agreement and have been assessed and agreed by its National State Aid Authority (the Competition Council).
(8) In December 2004, Romania submitted to the Commission a restructuring programme and business plans for those companies having benefited or benefiting from state support for restructuring.
(9) Under Article 3 of the Additional Protocol, the extension of the abovementioned period is made conditional on a final assessment of the restructuring programme and business plans by the Commission.
(10) The Commission has made a final assessment of the restructuring programme and the business plans submitted by Romania. This assessment indicates that the implementation of the restructuring programme and the business plans will allow the companies concerned to reach viability under normal market conditions. It also shows that the amount of State aid for restructuring purposes as specified in the plans is strictly limited to what is necessary to allow the companies concerned to reach viability and has been progressively reduced and stopped since the end of 2004. The assessment provides also that a global rationalisation and reduction of excess capacity of the beneficiary companies will be reached. The assessment therefore concludes that the restructuring programme and the business plans meet the requirements of Article 9(4) of Protocol 2 to the Europe Agreement,
The restructuring programme and business plans submitted to the Commission by Romania pursuant to Article 2 of the Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and Romania, of the other part, with regard to an extension of the period laid down in Article 9(4) of Protocol 2 to the Europe Agreement, are in compliance with the requirements of Article 9(4) of Protocol 2.
The period, during which Romania may exceptionally, as regards steel products, grant public aid for restructuring purposes in accordance with the provisions of Article 9(4) of Protocol 2 is hereby extended by an additional period of eight years starting on 1 January 1998, as provided for by Article 1 of the Additional Protocol. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

(2) Whereas the quality of dried figs before and after processing is variable; whereas the minimum price and production aid should be fixed for a specific type of product; whereas Community production is characterised by two types of dried fig, small-fruit and others; whereas the essential characteristic which distinguishes the market price of both types is their size; whereas the minimum price and the aid should therefore be fixed for the most representative size class for each of the two types of dried figs intended for direct consumption, and the price and aid applicable to the other sizes should be derived from these prices and aid rates;
(3) Whereas the aim of minimum quality requirements laid down in Article 4(4)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 is to avoid the production of products for which there is no demand or which would cause distortion of the market; whereas those requirements must be based on traditional, fair manufacturing procedures; whereas, to ensure compliance with these provisions, the minium characteristics required of unprocessed dried figs purchased by processors and dried figs qualifying for aid should be defined;
(4) Whereas, to ensure uniform application, rules should be laid down on carrying out checks on the characteristics of dried figs before and after processing;
(5) Whereas certain requirements of this Regulation call for far-reaching adjustments of the production and processing sector; whereas these requirements must therefore be introduced progressively over the five marketing years following the entry into force of this Regulation;
(6) Whereas this Regulation incorporates the provisions specific to figs in Articles 1 and 2 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1709/84 of 19 June 1984 on minimum prices payable to producers and amounts of production aid for certain processed fruit and vegetables eligible for production aid(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1591/98(6), updated in line with legal, technical and economic developments; whereas, therefore, Articles 1 and 2 of and Annexes I, II and III to that Regulation should be repealed;
(7) Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,
1. To qualify for payment of the minium price, unprocessed dried figs shall correspond to the characteristics set out in Annex II.
2. To qualify for payment of aid, dried figs and fig paste shall correspond to the characteristics set out in Annex III.
3. The minium price payable to the producer for unprocessed dried figs and the production aid for dried figs shall be fixed for the products corresponding to the characteristics laid down in Annexes II and III respectively and between 75 and 105 fruits per kilogram in size for small-fruit varieties and between 65 and 85 fruits per kilogram in size for other varieties. For other dried figs the minium price and the amount of aid shall be multiplied by one of the coefficients listed in Annex I.
1. Verification of the characteristics and size of unprocessed dried figs shall be carried out on the basis of representative samples of an entire lot taken by the processor in agreement with the producer. The samples shall be examined by both the processor and the producer and the results of the verification shall be recorded. To this end, "lot" shall mean all the products presented simultaneously by a producer or producer organisation for acceptance by a processor.
2. For dried figs the processor shall verify by sampling of each lot sold that the products meet the characteristics required to benefit from the aid and are of the correct size. The results of the verification shall be recorded. The minium net weight of each sample to be examined shall be one kilogram.
3. The Member States may adopt national provisions with respect to grade-outs as concerns minimum percentage, controls and destination in particular.
Articles 1 and 2 of and Annexes I, II and III to Regulation (EEC) No 1709/84 are repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1999/2000 marketing year.

of 24 August 2004
concerning protection measures in relation to highly pathogenic avian influenza in the Republic of South Africa
(notified under document number C(2004) 3293)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2004/614/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC (1), and in particular Article 18(6) and (7) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (2), and in particular Article 22(1) and (6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Avian influenza is a highly contagious viral disease in poultry and birds, which can quickly take epizootic proportions liable to present a serious threat to animal and public health and to reduce sharply the profitability of poultry farming.
(2) There is a risk that the disease agent might be introduced via international trade in live poultry and poultry products.
(3) On 6 August 2004 the Republic of South Africa has confirmed two outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza in ratite flocks in the Eastern Cape Province.
(4) This detected avian influenza virus strain is of subtype H5N2 and therefore different from the strain currently causing the epidemic in Asia. Current knowledge suggests that the risk for public health in relation to this subtype is inferior to the risk of the strain circulating in Asia, which is an H5N1 virus subtype.
(5) At this moment for poultry and poultry products, the Republic of South Africa is only authorised to export to the Community live ratites and their hatching eggs and fresh meat from ratites and meat products/meat preparations containing ratite meat, as well as birds other than poultry.
(6) However the competent authorities of the Republic of South Africa suspended certification of live ratites and their meat and certain meat products to the EU on 6 August 2004 until the situation becomes clearer.
(7) In view of the animal health risk of disease introduction into the Community, imports of live ratites, and hatching eggs of these species and fresh meat of ratites, meat preparations and meat products consisting of, or containing meat of those species, obtained from birds slaughtered after 16 July 2004, have been suspended from the Republic of South Africa as of 10 August 2004 by Commission Decision 2004/594/EC (3).
(8) In accordance with Commission Decision 2000/666/EC (4) importation of birds other than poultry is authorised from all member countries of the OIE (World Organisation for Animal Health) subject to animal health guarantees provided by the country of origin, and to strict post-import quarantine measures implemented in the Member States.
(9) However, the importation of birds other than poultry, including pet birds accompanying their owners has also been suspended from the Republic of South Africa by Decision 2004/594/EC as an additional measure in order to exclude any possible risk for disease occurrence in quarantine stations under the authority of the Member States.
(10) Commission Decision 97/222/EC (5), lays down the list of third countries from which Member States may authorise the importation of meat products, and establishes treatment regimes in order to prevent the risk of disease transmission via such products. The treatment that must be applied to the product depends on the health status of the country of origin, in relation to the species the meat is obtained from; in order to avoid an unnecessary burden on trade, imports of ratite meat products originating in the Republic of South Africa treated to a temperature of at least 70 °C throughout the product should continue to be authorised.
(11) In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6), the importation of non-treated game trophies from birds originating from the Republic of South Africa is currently authorised. In view of the current avian influenza situation these imports should be suspended, thus preventing any risk of disease introduction into the Community.
(12) In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002, the importation of unprocessed feathers and parts of feathers originating from the Republic of South Africa is currently authorised. In view of the current avian influenza situation these imports should be suspended, thus preventing any risk of disease introduction into the Community. However the importation of feathers may be authorised with an accompanying commercial document that states that the feathers have undergone a certain treatment.
(13) Sanitary control measures applicable to raw material for the manufacture of animal feedingstuffs and pharmaceutical or technical products allow the exclusion from the scope of this Decision of channelled imports of such products.
(14) Therefore the protection measures applicable to the whole territory of the Republic of South Africa should be prolonged and Decision 2004/594/EC should be repealed.
(15) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee of the Food Chain and Animal Health.
Member States shall suspend the importation from the territory of the Republic of South Africa:
— live ratites, and hatching eggs of these species,
— birds other than poultry including pet birds accompanying their owners.
Member States shall suspend the importation from the territory of the Republic of South Africa:
— fresh meat of ratites,
— meat preparations and meat products consisting of, or containing meat of these species,
— non treated game trophies from any birds,
— unprocessed feathers and parts of feathers.
1. By derogation from Article 2, Member States shall authorise the importation of the products covered by that Article which have been obtained from birds slaughtered before 16 July 2004.
2. In the veterinary certificates accompanying consignments of the products mentioned in paragraph 1 the following words as appropriate to the species concerned shall be included:
‘Fresh ratite meat/meat product consisting of, or containing meat of ratites /meat preparation consisting of, or containing meat of ratites (7), which has been obtained from ratites slaughtered before 16 July 2004, in accordance with Article 3(1) of Decision 2004/614/EC.
3. By derogation from Article 2, Member States shall authorise the importation of meat products consisting of, or containing meat of ratites, when the meat of these species has undergone one of the specific treatments referred to under points B, C or D in part IV of the Annex to Commission Decision 97/222/EC.
4. For the importation of processed feathers or parts of feathers (excluding processed decorative feathers, processed feathers carried by travellers for their private use or consignments of processed feathers sent to private individuals for non industrial purposes) a commercial document stating that the processed feathers or parts thereof have been treated with a steam current or by some other method ensuring that no pathogens are transmitted shall accompany the consignment.
Decision 2004/594/EC is repealed.
The Member States shall amend the measures they apply to imports so as to bring them into compliance with this Decision and they shall give immediate appropriate publicity to the measures adopted. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.
This Decision shall be reviewed in the light of the disease evolution and information supplied by the veterinary authorities of the Republic of South Africa.
This Decision shall apply until 1 January 2005.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2520/97 (2), and in particular Articles 23, 30 and 57 thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organisation of the market in wine (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2087/97 (4), prohibits the making of wine from grape varieties classed as table grapes from 1 August 1997; whereas the abolition of this possible alternative use for table grapes is causing serious difficulties on the fresh fruit market in some regions of the Community where large quantities of the product were turned into wine and then distilled; whereas these difficulties are likely to result in a marked increase in withdrawals with no possibility of disposal for the producer organisations concerned; whereas it therefore appears justified to implement a transitional measure under the common organisation of the market in fresh products where the abovementioned difficulties arise;
Whereas provision should be made, for a transitional period, for the Member States to be able to distil table grapes withdrawn from the market; whereas such distillation must be carried out by authorised distilleries providing the guarantees required as regards technical equipment and controls; whereas provisions must be adopted for cases where the authorised distilleries are unable to treat the unprocessed grapes;
Whereas measures should be laid down ensuring effective controls to prevent such grapes withdrawn from the market from being used for winemaking or as a fermented product in the wine sector; whereas such measures relate to the requirement to restrict the movement of grapes withdrawn and to the addition on an identifier to the grapes to enable them to be identified and to prevent their use in the wine sector; whereas provision should also be made for the denaturing of the alcohol obtained from distillation of such grapes and to allow disposal of the alcohol only outside the agricultural and spirit drink sectors;
Whereas Member States are required to ensure equal access to all operators concerned by means of appropriate procedures such as invitations to tender or public auctions; whereas they are also required to prevent any distortion of the wine and alcohol market; whereas they must also ensure that checks are made on the method by which the alcohol is obtained;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
For the 1998/99 marketing year, table grapes withdrawn from the market pursuant to Article 23(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 may be processed into alcohol of a strength of more than 80 % vol. by distillation under the conditions laid down in this Regulation.
Table grapes withdrawn from the market and intended for processing into alcohol shall be distilled before the end of the 1998/99 marketing year.
1. The table grapes referred to in Article 1 shall be delivered to authorised distilleries. Where the authorised distilleries are unable to treat the unprocessed grapes, the Member State concerned may authorise prior treatment of those grapes at suitable authorised installations under official control. It shall take all necessary steps to ensure that the distillable products produced are delivered to authorised distilleries in accordance with this Regulation.
2. The Member States shall forward to the Commission a list of authorised distilleries and suitable authorised installations.
3. The authorised distilleries shall carry out the distillation into alcohol of table grapes and distillable products received pursuant to paragraph 1 in accordance with Article 5 and under official control.
1. Table grapes withdrawn from the market and intended for distillation may not be moved except to an authorised distillery or a suitable authorised installation.
2. An identifier, authorised by national provisions, shall be added at the place of withdrawal to the table grapes withdrawn from the market to enable them to be identified at any moment and prevent their use in the wine sector.
1. The alcohol obtained from distillation of the table grapes shall immediately be denatured with the markers laid down for that purpose in Commission Regulation (EC) No 3199/93 (5).
2. The alcohol resulting from such distillation shall not be used for food purposes or used in the spirit drink sector.
Alcohol obtained from table grapes withdrawn from the market shall not be eligible for any Community financing.
1. Member States shall take all measures necessary:
- to ensure equal access for operators to the measure provided for in this Regulation; to that end, they may use a tendering procedure or public auctions,
- to avoid distortion on the wine and alcohol market.
2. Member States shall take the measures necessary to ensure that checks are made on the method used for obtaining alcohol from table grapes withdrawn from the market.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 47/2003(2), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 35(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001(3), amended by Regulation (EC) No 1176/2002(4), lays down the detailed rules of application for export refunds on fruit and vegetables.
(2) Article 35(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides that, to the extent necessary for economically significant exports, the products exported by the Community may be covered by export refunds, within the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(3) Pursuant to Article 35(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, care must be taken to ensure that the trade flows previously brought about by the refund scheme are not disrupted. For this reason and because exports of fruit and vegetables are seasonal in nature, the quantities scheduled for each product should be fixed, based on the agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2180/2003(6). These quantities must be allocated taking account of the perishability of the products concerned.
(4) Article 35(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides that refunds must be fixed in the light of the existing situation and outlook for fruit and vegetable prices on the Community market and supplies available, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, prices on the international market. Account must also be taken of the transport and marketing costs and of the economic aspect of the exports planned.
(5) In accordance with Article 35(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, prices on the Community market are to be established in the light of the most favourable prices from the export standpoint.
(6) The international trade situation or the special requirements of certain markets may call for the refund on a given product to vary according to its destination.
(7) Tomatoes, oranges, lemons and apples of classes Extra, I and II of the common quality standards can currently be exported in economically significant quantities.
(8) In order to ensure the best use of available resources and in view of the structure of Community exports, it is appropriate to proceed by an open invitation to tender and to set the indicative refund amount and the scheduled quantities for the period concerned.
(9) The Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
1. An invitation to tender for the allocation of A3 export licences is hereby opened. The products concerned, the tender submission period, the indicative refund rates and the scheduled quantities are laid down in the Annex hereto.
2. The licences issued in respect of food aid as referred to in Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000(7) shall not count against the eligible quantities in the Annex hereto.
3. Notwithstanding Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001, the term of validity of the A3 licences shall be two months.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 3 March 2004.

on the publication with a restriction in the Official Journal of the European Union of the reference of standard EN 474-1:2006+A4:2013 on Earth-moving machinery under Directive 2006/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2006/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2006 on machinery, and amending Directive 95/16/EC (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the committee established by Article 22 of Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on European standardisation, amending Council Directives 89/686/EEC and 93/15/EEC and Directives 94/9/EC, 94/25/EC, 95/16/EC, 97/23/EC, 98/34/EC, 2004/22/EC, 2007/23/EC, 2009/23/EC and 2009/105/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Council Decision 87/95/EEC and Decision No 1673/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2),
Whereas:
(1) Where a national standard transposing a harmonised standard, the reference of which has been published in the Official Journal of the European Union, covers one or more essential health and safety requirements set out in Annex I to Directive 2006/42/EC, the machine built in accordance with this standard is presumed to meet the essential health and safety requirements concerned.
(2) Two petitions have been addressed by the same person to the European Parliament referring to fatal occupational accidents occurred in Germany involving earth-moving machinery, claiming that accidents were related to the insufficient visibility from the driving position. The machinery concerned was designed in accordance with harmonised standard EN 474-1 ‘Earth-moving machinery — Safety — Part 1: General requirements’.
(3) As a consequence, the harmonised standard EN 474-1:2006+A4:2013 ‘Earth-moving machinery — Safety — Part 1: General requirements’, whose reference was first published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 28 November 2013 (3) was examined by the Commission together with the representatives of the committee established by Article 22 of Directive 2006/42/EC. It was concluded that the earth-moving machinery designed and manufactured according to the standard does not allow the driver to have sufficient visibility in order to operate the machinery without a risk for the driver or third persons.
(4) As a result, the Commission concluded that the harmonised standard EN 474-1:2006+A4:2013 fails to meet the essential health and safety requirements provided for in points 1.2.2 Control devices (visibility of danger zones during starting) and 3.2.1. Driving position (visibility during operations) of Annex I to Directive 2006/42/EC.
(5) Taking into consideration the need to improve the safety aspects of standard EN 474-1:2006+A4:2013 and pending a suitable revision of that standard, the publication in the Official Journal of the European Union of the reference of the standard EN 474-1:2006+A4:2013 should be accompanied by an appropriate warning,
The reference of standard EN 474-1:2006+A4:2013 ‘Earth-moving machinery — Safety — Part 1: General requirements’, shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union with restriction as set out in the Annex.
This Decision shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas by 1 January 1992 all Member States must have discontinued routine vaccination against foot-and-mouth disease in their territory;
Whereas, however, in view of the high density of susceptible species in some parts of the Community, it is necessary to provide for the possibility of emergency vaccination in a limited area, in circumstances where slaughter of the entire herd may not be sufficient to eliminate the virus;
Whereas Community reserves of foot-and-mouth disease vaccine should be established, based on stocks of concentrated inactivated antigen capable of being quickly converted into vaccine for emergency use;
Whereas the antigen should be stored at four separate locations; whereas facilities for formulation, bottling and distribution must also be provided;
Whereas the criteria for the supply and storage of antigen and its conversion into vaccine should be established;
Whereas the national institutes responsible for maintaining the reserve of antigen should cooperate with the Community Coordinating Institute for foot-and-mouth disease vaccines designated by Decision 91/665/EEC (3) in order to ensure the potency, safety and stability of the antigen, and vaccines produced therefrom, and to ensure that the quantity and sub-types kept are appropriate to the risk, on the basis, in particular, of information supplied by the reference laboratory for the identification of foot-and-mouth disease virus designated by Decision 89/531/EEC (4);
Whereas Article 14 of Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (5), as amended by Decision 91/133/EEC (6), provides that the establishment of a Community reserve of foot-and-mouth disease vaccines may be eligible for Community aid,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 on the placing on the market and use of feed, amending European Parliament and Council Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 and repealing Council Directive 79/373/EEC, Commission Directive 80/511/EEC, Council Directives 82/471/EEC, 83/228/EEC, 93/74/EEC, 93/113/EC and 96/25/EC and Commission Decision 2004/217/EC (1), and in particular Article 27(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 provides for a set of EU rules concerning the marketing conditions of feed materials and compound feed. Annex IV of this Regulation includes permitted tolerances for the compositional labelling of feed materials and compound feed.
(2) Statistical control data from the competent authorities in the Member States on deviations in feed samples have revealed that substantial changes need to be made to the parameters set out in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 in order to consider the scientific and technological developments in sampling and analytical methods. The Commission has now completed the evaluation of that data and consequently the structure and the parameters of Annex IV should be modified.
(3) The amended tolerances for the moisture content should take into account certain feed materials with a moisture content greater than 50 % as for these feed materials new labelling provisions have been introduced by Articles 15 and 16 of Regulation (EC) No 767/2009.
(4) In the absence of methods to determine the energy value and the protein value at Union level, Member States should be allowed to maintain their national tolerances for these parameters.
(5) For the newly introduced tolerances for feed additives in feed it should be clarified that these only apply to the technical deviations, as the analytical tolerance is already determined in line with the official method of detection for the respective feed additive. The tolerances should apply to declared values in the list of feed additives and the list of analytical constituents.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and neither the European Parliament nor the Council has opposed them,
Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 is replaced in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

| COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 93/57/EEC of 29 June 1993 amending the Annexes to Directives 86/362/EEC and 86/363/EEC on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on cereals and foodstuffs of animal origin respectively
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 86/362/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on cereals (1), and in particular Article 11 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 86/363/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on foodstuffs of animal origin (2), and in particular Article 11 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas it appears desirable to update the nomenclature in Annex I to each of Directives 86/362/EEC and 86/363/EEC to conform with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2587/91 (3);
Whereas it also appears desirable to enlarge the scope of Annex I to Directive 86/362/EEC to include husked rice and semi-milled or wholly milled rice in addition to paddy or rough rice, since a significant proportion of rice is put into circulation as such;
Whereas, in the light of technical and scientific progress and the requirements of public health and agriculture, it is now desirable to supplement Annex II to Directive 86/363/EEC in respect of the provisions for the establishment of maximum levels for birds' eggs and egg yolks and to establish levels for the pesticides therein listed; whereas, for clarity, it appears desirable to present a consolidated version of the said Annex;
Whereas it is also desirable, on the same grounds, to amend Directives 86/362/EEC and 86/363/EEC by adding provisions relating to further pesticide residues for cereals and foodstuffs of animal origin, namely acephate, benomyl, carbendazim, chlorpyrifos, chlorpyrifos-methyl, chlorthalonil, cypermethrin, deltamethrin, fenvalerate, glyphosate, imazalil, iprodione, mancozeb, maneb, methamidophos, metiram, permethrin, procymidone, propineb, thiophanate-methyl, vinclozolin, zineb;
Whereas, however, available data are insufficient for certain pesticide-cereal/foodstuffs of animal origin combinations as appropriate; whereas a period of time, not exceeding four years, will be necessary to generate such data; whereas, therefore, maximum levels should be established on the basis of such data by 1 January 1998 at the latest; whereas failure to provide satisfactory data would normally result in the establishment of levels at the appropriate limit of determination;
Whereas, in order better to estimate dietary intake of pesticide residues, it is prudent to establish simultaneously, where possible, maximum residue levels for individual pesticides in all major components of the diet; whereas these levels represent the use of minimum quantities of pesticide to achieve adequate control, applied in such a manner that the amount of residue is the smallest practicable and is toxicologically acceptable;
Whereas the maximum residue levels established in the current Directive will have to be reviewed in the framework of the re-evaluations of active substances provided for in the work programme established in Article 8 (2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (4),
Directive 86/362/EEC is hereby amended as follows:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2331/96 (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) On 28 May 1997, the Commission received a complaint concerning alleged injurious dumping by imports into Italy of certain flat-rolled narrow strips, of iron or non-alloy steel, cold-rolled, originating in Russia.
(2) The complaint was lodged by the Italian Narrow Cold-Rolled Strips Producers Association (Federacciai), on behalf of Italian producers whose collective output was alleged to represent the quasi-totality of Italian production of cold-rolled narrow strips.
(3) The complaint contained evidence of dumping by the imports concerned and of material injury resulting therefrom which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding.
(4) The Commission, after consultation, accordingly announced in a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (3) the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into Italy of certain flat-rolled narrow strips, of iron or non-alloy steel, cold-rolled, currently classifiable within CN codes 7211 23 99, 7211 29 50, 7211 29 90 and ex 7211 90 90 and originating in Russia.
(5) The Commission officially advised the exporters and importers known to be concerned, the representatives of the exporting country and the complainant Community producers. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set out in the notice of initiation.
B. WITHDRAWAL OF THE COMPLAINT AND TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING
(6) By letter of 12 September 1997 to the Commission, Federacciai formally withdrew its complaint concerning imports into Italy of certain flat-rolled narrow strips, of iron or non-alloy steel, cold-rolled, originating in Russia in view of the current market situation concerning this product.
(7) Interested parties were informed that, under these circumstances, the Commission intends to terminate the proceeding, and were given the opportunity to comment. None of them raised any objection.
(8) The Commission considers therefore that the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into Italy of certain flat-rolled narrow strips, of iron or non-alloy steel, cold-rolled, originating in Russia, should be terminated without the imposition of protective measures, and that such a termination would not be against the interest of the Community.
The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into Italy of certain flat-rolled narrow strips, of iron or non-alloy steel, cold-rolled, originating in Russia is hereby terminated. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

amending Council Regulation (EC) No 55/2008 introducing autonomous trade preferences for the Republic of Moldova
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 207(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (1),
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 55/2008 (2) established a specific scheme of autonomous trade preferences for the Republic of Moldova (hereinafter "Moldova"). That scheme gives all products originating in Moldova free access to the Union market, except for certain agricultural products listed in Annex I to that Regulation for which limited concessions have been granted either in the form of exemption from customs duties within the limit of tariff quotas or of reduction of customs duties.
(2) In the framework of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP), the EU-Moldova ENP Action Plan and the Eastern Partnership, Moldova has adopted an ambitious agenda for political association and further economic integration with the Union. Moldova has also already made strong progress on regulatory approximation leading to convergence with Union laws and standards.
(3) Negotiations on a new Association Agreement, including the establishment of a deep and comprehensive free trade area between the Union and Moldova, started in January 2010 and were finalised in July 2013. That Agreement provides for the full liberalisation of bilateral trade in wine.
(4) In order to support the efforts of Moldova in accordance with the ENP and the Eastern Partnership, and to provide an attractive and reliable market for its wine exports, the import of wine from Moldova into the Union should be liberalised without delay.
(5) In order to ensure the continuation of trade flows from Moldova and legal certainty for economic operators, it is necessary that the autonomous trade preferences apply without interruption until the date set for their expiry in Regulation (EC) No 55/2008.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 55/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Regulation (EC) No 55/2008 is amended as follows:
(1) in Article 16, the third, fourth and fifth paragraphs are deleted;
(2) in the table in point 1 of Annex I, the last row concerning order No 09.0514 "Wine of fresh grapes other than sparkling wine" is deleted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2014.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0.333333 |

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1789/2006
of 5 December 2006
opening and providing for the administration of the tariff quota for the import of bananas falling under CN code 0803 00 19 originating in ACP countries for the period 1 January to 31 December 2007
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1964/2005 of 29 November 2005 on the tariff rates for bananas (1), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1964/2005 provides that each year from 1 January, an autonomous tariff quota of 775 000 tonnes net weight subject to a zero-duty rate is to be opened for imports of bananas under CN code 0803 00 19 originating in ACP countries.
(2) The tariff quota provided for by Regulation (EC) No 1964/2005 for 2007 should therefore be opened and the provisions for its administration laid down for the period until 31 December 2007.
(3) As is the case for non preferential imports, a method of administering the tariff quota should be adopted so as to favour international trade and smoother trade flows. The most appropriate method for this purpose would be that using the quota by chronological order of acceptance of the declarations of release for free circulation (the ‘first come, first served’ method). Nevertheless, in order to ensure continuity of trade with ACP countries and, therefore, satisfactory supplies for the Community market while avoiding disturbances in trade flows, Commission Regulation (EC) No 219/2006 (2) reserved, on a transitional basis, part of the tariff quota for operators who supplied the Community with ACP bananas in the framework of the import regime previously in force. Taking into account the transitional nature of that provision, it appears appropriate to progressively eliminate it and hence ensuring for 2007 a substantial increase in the part of the tariff quota managed by the first come, first served method, by increasing the proportion of imports carried out under that system from 60 % to 81 %.
(4) Provision should therefore be made for a total quantity of 146 848 tonnes of the tariff quota to be reserved for the operators who actually imported bananas originating in ACP countries into the Community during 2006 That proportion of the tariff quota should be administered by means of import licences issued to each operator in proportion to the quantities imported on the basis of licences received by these operators under Chapter II of Regulation (EC) No 219/2006.
(5) In view of the quantities available, a ceiling should be set for the licence application which each operator may lodge for the period until 31 December 2007.
(6) Access to the rest of the tariff quota should be open to all operators established in the Community on a ‘first come, first served’ basis in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (3).
(7) This Regulation should enter into force immediately in order to enable licence applications to be lodged in time.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Bananas,

| COMMISSION DECISION
of 23 November 1987
settling a dispute between the Federal Republic of Germany and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg about the authorization of a regular coach service
(Only the German and French texts are authentic)
(88/40/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 517/72 of 28 February 1972 on the introduction of common rules for regular and special regular services by coach and bus between Member States (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1301/78 (2), hereinafter referred to as 'the Regulation', and in particular Article 14 thereof,
I
Whereas the company Deutsche Touring GmbH Frankfurt/Main, hereinafter referred to as 'Touring', has operated a regular coach service between Duesseldorf and Luxembourg since 1965 for passengers arriving at or leaving from Luxembourg airport; whereas, after the Regulation had entered into force, this service was authorized by the relevant authorities of the Federal Republic of Germany and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg as a special coach service for passengers holding a Luxavia air ticket; whereas this authorization expired on 8 June 1986. Whereas this service was contracted out to the Luxembourg firm, Voyages Emile Weber S.a.r.l., Canach after talks between Touring and the FĂŠdĂŠration luxembourgeoise des exploitants d'autobus et d'autocars;
Whereas, on 20 February 1986, Touring applied to the Minister for Urban Development, Housing and Transport of North Rhine-Westphalia for the authorization which expired on 8 June 1986 to be renewed; whereas Touring received a provisional authorization until 7 September 1986 pursuant to Article 16a of the Regulation; whereas, however, on 14 August 1986, the local authorizing authority in Duesseldorf, in the person of the Regierungspraesident, rejected the application for a renewal of the authorization;
Whereas, on 1 December 1986, the Federal Minister of Transport asked the Luxembourg Minister of Transport to accept this decision by the German authorizing authority; whereas, on 21 January 1987, the Luxembourg Minister of Transport rejected this request in a letter to the relevant Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia and asked for the decision by the authorizing authority in Duesseldorf to be reconsidered; whereas, in a letter of 9 March 1987 to the Federal Minister of Transport, the Luxembourg Minister of Transport confirmed its position stressing that it placed great importance on the continuation of this service;
Whereas, on 11 March 1987, Emile Weber S.a.r.l. itself applied to the Luxembourg Minister of Transport for an authorization for this service; whereas it received a provisional three-month authorization in March 1987; whereas this was extended before its expiry until 9 September 1987;
Whereas the relevant Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia informed the Luxembourg Minister of Transport of its refusal to renew the authorization by letter of 22 May 1987;
Whereas, in view of the fact that the two governments were unable to reach agreement on a new authorization for the service, the Luxembourg Government referred the dispute to the Commission on 1 June 1987 pursuant to Article 14 of the Regulation requesting that the application made by Emile Weber S.a.r.l. be approved;
Whereas the German Government made a similar application to the Commission on 1 July 1987 requesting the Commission to settle the dispute and, if it gave a positive ruling, to grant the authorization to Touring; whereas Touring is willing to continue to contract the service out to Emile Weber S.a.r.l. as it has done in the past;
Whereas Touring confirmed its willingness to do so in a letter of 7 July 1987 to the Federal Minister of Transport;
Whereas the Member States concerned attended a meeting at the Commission in Brussels on 3 July 1987 to discuss these two applications;
II
Whereas the German authorizing authority put forward the following arguments:
The authorization would be incompatible with the interests of public transport. Article 8 of the Regulation should be interpreted as a provision favouring the railways which form the backbone of passenger transport in all European countries. The railways needed therefore to be protected against competition from private regular services. The economic interests of such firms in the establishment of further passenger services would have to be subordinated to this need. In this particular case, the State also had to act in the interests of the Community as a whole and the overriding public concern to maintain an efficient transport system.
The regular road service for which authorization is requested is, in this case, only a seemingly better service, the cost being included in the price of the air fare. The time required for the rail journey is not excessive for passengers compared with their overall travelling time. Rail transport also guarantees connections even if flights are not on time.
The rail connection between Duesseldorf and Luxembourg (10 trains a day in each direction and a journey of three and a half to four hours) can generally be said to provide a quantitatively and qualitatively satisfactory solution to the transport needs in question;
Whereas the Luxembourg Government put forward the following arguments:
The regular service in question has existed for over 20 years and has given no reason for complaint during that time.
The persons using this service are solely Luxavia passengers who have paid for the cost of the connecting journey in the price of their air ticket. The transfer of this service to the railways is unacceptable to passengers:
- owing to the problems involved in changing means of transport/vehicle several times with cumbersome luggage,
- owing to the fact that the journey takes longer by rail than by road,
- because there are no immediate connections if flights arrive late,
- because of the need to pick passengers up at Brussels or take passengers to Brussels since flights are often diverted there;
III
Whereas the applications made by the two Governments are admissible under Article 14, and in accordance with Article 13 of the Regulation; whereas they should be examined in the light of Article 8 (1) and (2), subparagraph (a) thereof;
Whereas the aim of these provisions is, as defined in the recitals to the Regulation, to ensure the proper functioning of services at minimum cost to the community in general, and it is necessary to adapt the supply of transport to demand on the routes to be served and to coordinate passenger transport services in the areas concerned in an effective manner;
Whereas the principle of coordinating transport services to satisfy specific transport needs effectively and at minimum cost must, however, be applied in specific cases in the light of the Community's transport policy and the structure of its transport markets; whereas Article 8 of the Regulation cannot hence be interpreted as a provision which provides absolute protection to the railways or which gives unconditional priority to them; whereas, although the railways are an essential means of transport for passengers in the Community economy, they cannot have a monopoly in these markets;
Whereas, at this level of generality, the principal reasons given by the authorizing authority in Duesseldorf for its decision cannot therefore be accepted;
Whereas decisions in individual cases can, on the contrary, only be made in the light of the particular conditions applying; whereas, although this does not mean that the public transport interests do not have to be taken into account, they do have to be weighed against the specific interests of the transport users concerned and of other transport enterprises;
Whereas, after examining the present and foreseeable transport needs which have to be satisfied by the transport service in question, it has been concluded that a direct coach service between Duesseldorf and Luxembourg through the Eifel offers transport users appreciable advantages over a rail service via Trier and Koblenz. Whereas the coach service has in this particular case the qualitative advantages of:
- a direct connection between Luxembourg airport and Duesseldorf main station without the need to change or transfer luggage, which would be the case by rail,
- a shorter journey.
Whereas this cannot be outweighed by the somewhat greater comfort (more space, refreshments) of rail transport;
Whereas the coach service also has one great quantitative advantage, namely that it provides a guaranteed and straightforward connection with the flight, even if aeroplanes are diverted to Brussels;
Whereas, when all the relevant factors are taken into account in this comparison, it must be concluded that road transport offers a better overall service; whereas this is of particular relevance in this specific case as it involves a special regular service with a limited number of customers and special needs; Whereas, furthermore, this service has operated for over 20 years without any problems; whereas it is hard to see how the market situation and effect on the transport industries can have changed so much that the authorization must now be refused on the basis of new factors or events; whereas a major factor militating in favour of the renewal of the authorization is the interest of both companies in continuing a service they have offered, without objections being made and in accordance with the authorization, over a long period, with all the investment which is tied up in it; whereas, the operators' interest generally corresponds to the still existing and undisputed demand on the side of the transport users;
Whereas, in the light of all these factors, it is concluded that the coach service for which authorization is applied offers a better service than the competing rail services which do not satisfy the specific needs of this particular transport market in the same way,
The competent authority of the Federal Republic of Germany shall authorize Deutsche Touring GmbH, Frankfurt/Main, to have a special regular service by coach between Duesseldorf and Luxembourg set up and operated by Voyages Emile Weber S.a.r.l., Canach, Luxembourg, as requested by those undertakings.
This Decision is addressed to the Federal Republic of Germany and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
This Decision shall take effect 30 days after its notification to the Member States concerned unless one of those Member States refers the matter to the Council before expiry of that time limit. | 0 | 0 | 0.166667 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organisation of the market in wine(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1677/1999(2), and in particular Articles 3(4), 35(8), 38(5), 45(9) and 46(5) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine(3), and in particular Article 80(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 1(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 stipulates that the 1999/2000 wine year is to end on 31 August 2000, while Article 1(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 stipulates that the 2000/2001 wine year is to begin on 1 August 2000. Steps should therefore be taken to ensure that this overlap does not cause legal problems.
(2) Under Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2640/88 of 25 August 1988 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of the system of aid for the use in winemaking of concentrated grape must and rectified concentrated grape must(4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2055/91(5), intervention agencies are to pay the aid to producers before the end of the wine year concerned. To facilitate the transition to the new arrangements, the final date for payment for the 1999/2000 wine year should be 31 August 2000.
(3) Under Article 1(4) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2641/88 of 25 August 1988 laying down detailed rules for the application of the aid scheme for the use of grapes, grape must and concentrated grape must to produce grape juice(6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 583/98(7), processing operations must be carried out between 1 September and 31 August of the wine year concerned. To facilitate the transition to the new arrangements, the final processing date should be confirmed as 31 August 2000 for the 1999/2000 wine year. In addition, Article 8(2) of that Regulation provides that in order to qualify for the aid, processors as referred to in Article 2(2) must submit one or more aid applications to the competent authority or department authorised for the purpose, not later than six months after the end of the wine year. To facilitate transition to the new arrangements, 28 February 2001 should be laid down as the date for submission of aid applications for the 1999/2000 wine year.
(4) Under Article 7(1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2721/88 of 31 August 1988 laying down detailed rules for voluntary distillation as provided for in Articles 38, 41 and 42 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87(8), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 26/92(9), distillation may not be carried out after the end of the wine year concerned. To facilitate the transition to the new arrangements, the final date for distillation should be 31 August 2000 for the 1999/2000 wine year. Under the third subparagraph of Article 11(5) of that Regulation, in order to receive aid, fortifiers must submit an application to the competent intervention agency not later than 31 August of the wine year concerned. To facilitate transition to the new arrangements, 31 August 2000 should be laid down as the final date for the submission of aid applications for the 1999/2000 wine year.
(5) Under the second indent of the second subparagraph of Article 10(2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3105/88 of 7 October 1988 laying down detailed rules for the application of compulsory distillation as provided for in Articles 35 and 36 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87(10), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 194/98(11), distillers must make the 80 % payment on account to the producer following delivery of the products and not later than one month after presentation of the invoice to be drawn up for the products concerned before the end of the wine year. To facilitate transition to the new arrangements, it should be specified that the date by which invoices are to be drawn up for the 1999/2000 wine year is 31 August 2000. In addition, under Article 12(1) of that Regulation, subject to Article 11 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2179/83(12), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2505/88(13), distillation may not be carried out after 31 August of the wine year concerned. To facilitate the transition to the new arrangements, it should be specified that the final date for distillation for the 1999/2000 wine year is 31 August 2000.
(6) Under Article 6(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1294/96 of 4 July 1996 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 as regards harvest, production and stock declarations relating to wine-sector products(14), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 225/97(15), natural or legal persons or groups of such persons, other than private consumers and retailers, must declare each year to the competent authorities designated by the Member States the stocks of concentrated grape must, rectified concentrated grape must and wine held by them on 31 August. To facilitate the transition to the new arrangements, that date should be confirmed as 31 August 2000 for the 1999/2000 wine year.
(7) As a transitional measure, because of the entry into force of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999, 31 August 2000 should be laid down as the final date for the withdrawal of by-products of wine-making, as referred to in Article 14(2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2046/89(16), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2468/96(17), for the 1999/2000 wine year.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
1. The following paragraph is added at the end of Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2640/88:"However, for the 1999/2000 wine year, the intervention agency has until 31 August 2000 to pay the aid, without prejudice to the exceptions provided for in the previous paragraph."

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), hereafter combined nomenclature, as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1194/97 (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas the Court of Justice, in its judgement of 13 February 1996 in Case C-143/93 (3), has ruled Commission Regulation (EEC) No 482/74 (4), inapplicable with effect from 1 January 1988;
Whereas provisions should be adopted for the uniform application of the combined nomenclature as regards the classification of residues resulting from the extraction of maize (corn) germ oil; whereas heading No 2306 of the combined nomenclature covers residues resulting from the extraction of vegetable oils;
Whereas, for the purpose of distinguishing residues resulting from the extraction of maize germ oil, falling within CN code 2306 70 00, from products which have not undergone a complete oil extraction process and from products containing ingredients which have not undergone an oil extraction process, the minimum and maximum starch, oil and protein contents must be determined; whereas it is therefore necessary to clarify additional note 2 to Chapter 23;
Whereas the provisions of this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee, Tariff and Statistical Nomenclature Section,
Additional note 2 to Chapter 23 of the combined nomenclature annexed to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 is replaced by the following text:
'2. Subheading 2306 70 00 includes only residues from the extraction of oil of germs of maize and containing the following ingredients in the quantities specified, calculated by weight on the dry product:
(a) products of an oil content of less than 3 %:
- starch content: less than 45 %,
- protein content (nitrogen content Ă 6,25): not less than 11,5 %;
(b) products of an oil content of not less 3 % and not more than 8 %:
- starch content: less than 45 %,
- protein content (nitrogen content Ă 6,25): not less than 13 %.
Moreover, such residues shall not contain ingredients which are not obtained from maize grains.
For the determination of starch and protein content, the methods set out in Commission Directive 72/199/EEC, Annex I (1) and (2) are to be applied.
For the determination of oil and moisture content, the methods set out in Commission Directive 71/393/EEC, Annex: Section 4 (method A) and Section 1, respectively, are to be applied.
Products containing components from parts of maize grains which have been added after processing and have not been subjected to the oil extraction process are excluded.`

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market(1), as last amended by Directive 92/118/EEC(2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animal and products with a view to the completion of the internal market(3), as last amended by Directive 92/118/EEC, and in particular Article 10 thereof,
(1) Whereas following information on contamination on poultry products with dioxin the Commission adopted Decision 1999/363/EC(4); whereas this Decision establishes, in particular, that the Belgian authorities shall investigate of possible distribution of contaminated feedingstuffs with dioxins to other farm animals and inform without delay the Commission and other Member States and concerned Third Countries of the results of such investigation;
(2) Whereas, on 2 June 1999, the Belgian authorities have informed the Commission that they have placed under restriction approximately 500 pig holdings which may have received contaminated feedingstuff; whereas, on 3 June 1999, they have also informed the Commission that contaminated feedingstuffs have been distributed to a number of bovine holdings as well;
(3) Whereas the body of toxicological and epidemiological evidence today have led the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) of the World Health Organisation (WHO) to consider TCDD a class 1 carcinogen (highest class in IARC ranking);
(4) Whereas, in the light of the above, it is necessary to take similar measures to those laid down by Decision 1999/363/EC to protect consumers from risks associated to products derived from pigs and bovine animals; whereas, however, the Belgian authorities have not yet taken actions on pigs and bovine animals and derived products similar to those applied in the case of poultry; whereas it is therefore not appropriate to set an end-date for the application of measures in respect of pigs and bovine animals and products derived therefrom; whereas, consequently, these measures should apply to pigs and bovine animals reared in Belgium starting from 15 January 1999, and products derived therefrom; whereas these measures should not apply to products derived from animals which have not been reared in holdings placed under restrictions by the Belgian authorities or which are not contaminated by dioxins following the results of analyses;
(5) Whereas on 4 June 1999, the Commission has adopted Decision 1999/368/EC(5) in order to introduce the above necessary protective measures with the minimum delay; whereas these measures were adopted in accordance with the provisions of Article 10(3) of Directive 90/425/EEC and Article 9(3) of Directive 89/662/EEC, whereas, under those provisions, it is necessary to review the situation in the Standing Veterinary Committee at the earliest opportunity, with a view to adopting the necessary measures;
(6) Whereas, following an in-depth discussion in the Standing Veterinary Committee it is necessary to adopt appropriate protective measures and, forthwith, to revoke Decision 1999/368/EC;
(7) Whereas this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
1. A. Belgium shall prohibit the placing on the market, including distribution to the final consumer, the trade and the export to third countries, of all the following products intended for human or animal consumption derived from pigs and bovine animals, which were reared in Belgium starting from 15 January 1999:
- fresh meat, as defined by Council Directive 64/433/EEC(6);
- mechanically recovered meat,
- minced meat and meat preparation, as defined by Council Directive 94/65/EC(7)
- meat products and other products of animal origin as defined by Council Directive 77/99/EEC(8)
- raw milk, heat-treated milk and milk based products as defined by Council Directive 92/46/EEC(9)
- rendered fats, as referred to by Directive 92/118/EEC,
- processed animal proteins, as referred to by Directive 92/118/EEC,
- raw material for the manufacture of animal feedingstuffs, as referred to by Directive 92/118/EEC,
unless:
(i) the products are not derived from animals reared in holdings put under restriction by the Belgian authorities, or
(ii) the results of analysis demonstrate that the products are not contaminated with dioxins.
B. Belgium shall prohibit the placing on the market, the trade and the export to Third Countries, of pigs and bovine animals reared starting from 15 January 1999, unless they have not been reared or produced in holdings put under restriction by the Belgian authorities.
2. Belgium shall ensure that all the products listed in paragraph l which do not fulfil the conditions established in paragraph 1, point (i) or (ii), are destroyed by means approved by the competent authorities.
3. Belgium shall inform immediately the Commission and the Member States, if appropriate in accordance with Council Directive 92/59/EEC(10) (rapid alert system), and third countries who have received the live animals or products covered by paragraph 2 of this Article.
For the purpose of trade, the commercial document or, if appropriate, the veterinary certificate accompanying each consignment of live animals or products listed in Article 1 must be completed by an official declaration signed by the Belgian competent authority certifying that the live animals or the products of Belgian origin are in compliance with this Decision.
Member States which received pigs or bovine animals which have been reared or produced in holdings put under restriction by the Belgian authorities and/or products of Belgian origin covered by paragraph 2 of Article 1, shall immediately:
- trace and place under restriction such animals and products arising therefrom,
- trace back all products of Belgian origin to which this Decision applies and products destined to human or animal consumption containing those products,
- ensure that the above products are destroyed by a mean approved by the competent authority, unless it can be proved they are not contaminated with dioxins,
- inform immediately the Commission and the Member States, if appropriate in accordance with Directive 92/59/EEC (rapid alert system), and concerned third countries on the findings of their investigation and on the eventual actions taken.
Commission inspections may be carried out in order to verify the implementation of this Decision.
Member States shall alter the measures they apply to trade in order to bring them into line with this Decision. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.
Decision 1999/368/EC is hereby revoked.

of 26 August 2004
fixing the rates of the refunds applicable to certain milk products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 15 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1), and in particular Article 31(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 31(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the difference between prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), and (g) of that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund. Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common implementing rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (2), specifies the products for which a rate of refund should be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999.
(2) In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question must be fixed for each month.
(3) However in the case of certain milk products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, there is a danger that, if high refund rates are fixed in advance, the commitments entered into in relation to those refunds may be jeopardised. In order to avert that danger, it is therefore necessary to take appropriate precautionary measures, but without precluding the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of specific refund rates for the advance fixing of refunds in respect of those products should enable those two objectives to be met.
(4) Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 provides that, when the rate of the refund is being fixed, account should be taken, where necessary, of production refunds, aids or other measures having equivalent effect applicable in all Member States in accordance with the Regulation on the common organisation of the market in the product in question to the basic products listed in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 or to assimilated products.
(5) Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides for the payment of aid for Community-produced skimmed milk processed into casein if such milk and the casein manufactured from it fulfil certain conditions.
(6) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2571/97 of 15 December 1997 on the sale of butter at reduced prices and the granting of aid for cream, butter and concentrated butter for use in the manufacture of pastry products, ice cream and other foodstuffs (3), lays down that butter and cream at reduced prices should be made available to industries which manufacture certain goods.
(7) It is necessary to ensure continuity of strict management taking account of expenditure forecasts and funds available in the budget.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products appearing in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 and listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999, and exported in the form of goods listed in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 shall, in respect of the products listed in the Annex to this Regulation, be fixed in accordance with that Annex.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 283(1) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259/68 laying down the Staff Regulations of Officials and the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the European Communities(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC, ECSC, Euratom) No 2804/2000(2),
Having regard to the proposal presented by the Commission after consulting the Staff Regulations Committee,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(3),
Having regard to the opinion of the Court of Justice(4),
Having regard to the opinion of the Court of Auditors(5),
Whereas:
(1) Following its Decisions of 20 March 1972, 26 June 1976 and 31 December 1981, by Regulations (ECSC, EEC, Euratom) No 3830/1991(6) and (ECSC, EEC, Euratom) No 3831/1991(7), the Council inserted Annex XI to the Staff Regulations which confirms and further defines the method for the adjustment of remuneration, and Article 66a which introduces a temporary contribution deducted from the remuneration of officials and other servants of the Communities.
(2) Social partnerships which tend to avoid conflict have thus been a feature of relations between the European institutions and their staff and other servants with regard to the adjustment of remuneration.
(3) The current method and the temporary contribution expire on 30 June 2001 whereas the proposal from the Commission to the Council on revisions to the Staff Regulations in connection with the reform is scheduled for December 2001.
(4) Extending by two years the period of validity of the "compromise method" would thus avoid having to conduct two separate sets of negotiations between the staff and the institutions, one on the reform and one on remuneration and pensions.
(5) The Staff Regulations of Officials and the Conditions of Employment applicable to Other Servants should therefore be amended to extend the period of validity of the method for adjusting remunerations and the temporary contribution,
In Article 66a(1) of the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Communities, the date "1 July 2001" shall be replaced by "1 July 2003".
In Article 15(1) of Annex XI to the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Communities, the date "30 June 2001" shall be replaced by "30 June 2003".
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1) and in particular Article 40(1)(g),
Whereas:
(1) Article 33(2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that export refunds in the sugar sector may vary according to destination, where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(2) Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 900/2007 of 27 July 2007 on a standing invitation to tender to determine refunds on exports of white sugar until the end of the 2007/2008 marketing year (2) provides for such differentiation by excluding certain destinations.
(3) Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 of 15 April 1999 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural products (3) provides that where the rate of refund varies according to destination, refunds are to be paid subject to the additional conditions laid down under Articles 15 and 16 of that Regulation.
(4) Article 15(1) of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 provides that the products must have been imported in their unaltered state into the third country or one of the third countries for which the refund applies.
(5) Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 lists the various documents that may constitute proof of the completion of customs formalities in a third country where the refund rate is differentiated according to destination. Under paragraph 4 of that Article the Commission may decide, in certain specific cases to be determined, that the proof referred to in that Article may be deemed to be furnished by a specific document or in any other way.
(6) In the sugar sector export operations are normally governed by contracts defined as fob on the London futures market. As a result, purchasers accept at that fob stage all the contractual obligations, including proof of completion of customs formalities, without being the direct beneficiaries of the refund to which that proof confers the right. Obtaining that proof for all quantities exported may entail considerable administrative difficulties in certain countries, which may substantially delay or prevent payment of the refund for all the quantities actually exported.
(7) In order to limit the impact on the equilibrium of the sugar market, Commission Regulation (EC) No 436/2007 of 20 April 2007 on proof of completion of customs formalities for the import of sugar into third countries as provided for in Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 (4) provides for relaxation of the rules on proof of completion of customs formalities until 31 December 2007.
(8) Given that the administrative difficulties that prompted this derogation and their impact on the market persist, the alternative proofs of destination should apply for 2008.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
In the case of exports effected in accordance with Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, products shall be deemed to have been imported into a third country on presentation of the following three documents:
(a) a copy of the transport document;
(b) a declaration that the product has been unloaded, drawn up by an official authority of the third country in question, by the official authorities of a Member State established in the country of destination, or by an international supervisory agency approved under Articles 16a to 16f of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999, certifying that the product has left the unloading site or at least that, to the knowledge of the authority or agency issuing the declaration, the product has not subsequently been reloaded with a view to being re-exported;
(c) a bank document issued by approved intermediaries established in the Community certifying that payment corresponding to the export in question has been credited to the account of the exporter opened with them, or proof of payment.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2008.

of 18 May 2004
accepting undertakings offered in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of ammonium nitrate originating in the Russian Federation and Ukraine and making imports of ammonium nitrate originating in the Russian Federation or Ukraine subject to registration
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 461/2004 (2) (the ‘basic Regulation’), and in particular Articles 8, 11(3), 21 and 22(c) thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
1. Measures in force
(1) Following an expiry and an interim review, by Regulation (EC) No 658/2002 (3), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of ammonium nitrate (the ‘product concerned’) originating in the Russian Federation (‘Russia’). By Regulation (EC) No 132/2001 (4), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of ammonium nitrate originating in Ukraine. By Regulation (EC) No 993/2004 (5) the Council amended Regulations (EC) No 658/2002 and (EC) No 132/2001.
(2) The measures are specific duty of 47,07 EUR/tonne in the case of Russia and 33,25 EUR/tonne in the case of Ukraine.
2. Investigation
(3) On 20 March 2004 the Commission announced through the publication of a notice in the Official Journal of the European Union
(6) the initiation of a partial interim review of the measures in force (‘the measures’) pursuant to Articles 11(3) and 22(c) of the basic Regulation.
(4) The review was launched at the initiative of the Commission in order to examine whether, as a consequence of the enlargement of the European Union on 1 May 2004 (‘Enlargement’) and, bearing in mind the aspect of Community interest, there is a need to adapt the measures in order to avoid a sudden and excessively negative effect on all interested parties including users, distributors and consumers.
(5) All interested parties, including the Community industry, associations of producers or users in the Community, exporters/producers in the countries concerned, importers and their associations and the relevant authorities of the countries concerned as well as interested parties in the 10 new Member States which acceded to the European Union on 1 May 2004 (the ‘EU10’) were advised of the initiation of the investigation and were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing, to submit information and to provide supporting evidence within the time-limit set out in the notice of initiation. All interested parties who so requested and showed that there were reasons why they should be heard were granted a hearing.
3. Result of the investigation
(6) As set out in Council Regulation (EC) No 993/2004, the investigation concluded that it is in the Community interest to adapt the existing measures, provided that such adaptation does not significantly undermine the desired level of trade defence.
4. Undertakings
(7) In accordance with the conclusions of Regulation (EC) No 993/2004, the Commission, in conformity with Article 8 (2) of the basic Regulation, suggested undertakings to the companies concerned. As a result, undertakings were subsequently proposed by, (i) one exporting producer of the product concerned in Ukraine (OJSC ‘Azot’), (ii) an exporting producer in Russia (CJSC MCC Eurochem in respect of goods produced at its production facilities of JSC Nak Azot, Russia) jointly with its related company (Cumberland Sound Ltd, British Virgin Islands), (iii) two related exporting producers in Russia (OAO Kirovo — Chepetsky Chimkombinat and JSC ‘Azot’), separately and (iv) two related exporting producers jointly (Joint Stock Company ‘Acron’, Russia and Joint Stock Company ‘Dorogobuzh’, Russia).
(8) From the submissions of OAO ‘Kirovo — Chepetsky Chimkombinat’ and publicly available information on the Internet, it is known to the Commission that JSC ‘Azot’ and OAO ‘Kirovo — Chepetsky Chimkombinat’ are linked via Agrochemical Corporation ‘Azot’, which owns considerably more than 5 % of the capital of each of the companies. Therefore, in accordance with an Article 2 of the basic Regulation and the definition of related parties set out in the Article 143 of Commission Regulation (EEC) 2454/93 (7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2286/2003 (8), the Commission considers JSC ‘Azot’ and OAO ‘Kirovo — Chepetsky Chimkombinat’ as related parties. It should be noted that the abnormal increases of the export volumes of one of these two exporting producers, OAO ‘Kirovo — Chepetsky Chimkombinat’, to the EU10 observed during the first months of 2004 were higher than the combined traditional export volumes to the EU10 of both JSC ‘Azot’ and OAO ‘Kirovo — Chepetsky Chimkombinat’. Accordingly, the undertaking offers submitted by these two exporting producers are rejected because the undertaking ceiling for the two exporting producers taken together, calculated as traditional export volumes to the EU10 in 2001 and 2002 minus the abnormal increases in export volumes to the EU10 observed in the first months of 2004, is negative.
(9) It should be noted that, in application of Article 22(c) of the basic Regulation, any undertakings accepted by this Regulation are considered as special measures since, in accordance with the conclusions of Regulation (EC) No 993/2004, they are not directly equivalent to an anti-dumping duty.
(10) Nevertheless, in conformity with Regulation (EC) No 993/2004, the undertakings oblige each individual producing exporter to respect minimum import prices within the framework of import ceilings and, in order that the undertakings can be monitored, the exporting producers concerned have also agreed to broadly respect their traditional selling patterns to individual customers in the EU10. The exporting producers are also aware that if it is found that these sales patterns change significantly, or that the undertakings become in any way difficult or impossible to monitor, the Commission is entitled to withdraw acceptance of the company’s undertaking resulting in definitive anti-dumping duties being imposed in its place, or it may adjust the level of the ceiling, or it may take other remedial action.
(11) It is also a condition of the undertakings that if they are breached in any way, the Commission will be entitled to withdraw acceptance thereof resulting in definitive anti-dumping duties being imposed in their place.
(12) The companies will also provide the Commission with regular and detailed information concerning their exports to the Community, meaning that the undertakings can be monitored effectively by the Commission.
(13) In order that the Commission can monitor effectively the companies’ compliance with the undertakings, when the request for release for free circulation pursuant to an undertaking is presented to the relevant customs authority, exemption from the duty will be conditional upon the presentation of an invoice containing at least the items of information listed in the Annex to Council Regulation (EC) No 993/2004. This level of information is also necessary to enable customs authorities to ascertain with sufficient precision that the shipment corresponds to the commercial documents. Where no such invoice is presented, or when it does not correspond to the product presented to customs, the appropriate anti-dumping duty will instead be payable.
(14) In view of all the above, the offers of undertakings submitted by OJSC ‘Azot’, CJSC MCC Eurochem in respect of goods produced at its production facilities of JSC Nak Azot, Russia, and Joint Stock Company ‘Acron’ together with Joint Stock Company ‘Dorogobuzh’ are considered acceptable.
(15) The acceptance of the undertakings is limited to an initial period of six months without prejudice to the normal duration of the measures. However, six months after acceptance of the undertakings, their continued acceptance will be subject to an appraisal by the Commission to verify whether the exceptional and negative conditions for end users in the EU10 which led to the acceptance of the undertakings still exist. In view of the short term character of the undertakings and the exceptional circumstances under which they are accepted the Commission services may, after consultation of the Advisory Committee, adapt some of the terms of the undertakings, if after a reasonable period of time it is established that the undertakings are not achieving their intended results in terms of allowing traditional export flows to the EU10 to continue. However, the adapted terms of the undertakings must continue to ensure a significant contribution to the removal of injury.
B. REGISTRATION OF IMPORTS
(16) In view of the unusual circumstances of this case and the inherent risk of breaches of undertakings caused by the price differences between the EU10 and the EU15 and their short term character, it is considered that sufficient grounds exist to make certain imports of the product concerned subject to registration for a maximum period of nine months in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation.
(17) Customs authorities are therefore directed to take the appropriate steps to register imports into the Community of the product concerned originating in Ukraine and Russia exported by the companies which have offered acceptable undertakings and for which benefit from the exemption to the anti-dumping duties is sought.
(18) In the event of a finding of a breach of the undertakings, duties may be levied retroactively on goods entered into free circulation in the Community from the date of the breach of the undertaking,
The undertakings offered by the exporting producers mentioned below, in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of ammonium nitrate originating in the Ukraine and the Russian Federation are hereby accepted.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 of 17 December 2003 establishing a system for the identification and registration of ovine and caprine animals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 and Directives 92/102/EEC and 64/432/EEC (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 10(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 provides that each Member State is to establish a system for the identification and registration of ovine and caprine animals in accordance with the provisions of that Regulation.
(2) That system comprises four elements, namely: means of identification to identify each animal; up-to-date registers kept on each holding; movement documents; and a central register or a computer database. The Annex to that Regulation sets out the requirements for those elements.
(3) Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 currently provides that animals intended for slaughter before the age of 12 months and not intended for intra-Community trade or export to third countries may be identified with a method complying with the conditions set out in Section A.7 of the Annex to that Regulation. However, in some cases animals which were originally intended for slaughter are nevertheless used for breeding later in holdings other than that of birth. It should therefore be permitted to allow such animals to be individually identified after they have left their holding of birth provided that the individual animal can be traced back to its holding of birth.
(4) Section C of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 sets out the information which should be contained in the movement document. In order to record the individual identification code of each animal on the movement document, animals are to be individually read at departure. Animals are read again in the holding of destination. In order to reduce the administrative burden, it should be permitted to allow the identification codes of animals to be recorded at the holding of destination, instead of at the holding of departure subject to certain conditions.
(5) Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 provides for certain keepers to keep an inventory of animals at least annually. Part D of the Annex to that Regulation provides for certain information to be contained in the computer database. The results of the inventory are part of that information. In order to reduce the administrative burden, it should be permissible not to record such results in those Member States where the computer database contains, in addition to the information required pursuant to Part D of that Annex, the individual identification codes of each animal on holdings.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee of the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

Whereas the minimum Community standards and methods to be used for testing the roadworthiness of the items listed in Annex II to Directive 77/143/EEC should therefore be defined in separate directives adopted by the Council;
Whereas, as a transitional measure, national standards remain applicable in respect of items not covered by separate directives;
Whereas it must be possible to adapt rapidly to technical progress the standards and methods laid down in the separate directives and, in order to facilitate implementation of the measures required for this purpose, to establish a procedure for close cooperation between the Member States and the

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26 June 1964 on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine (1), and in particular Article 10(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 64/432/EEC provides criteria for approving a Member State or region thereof as being free of certain contagious diseases, including Aujeszky’s disease. That Directive also provides that the additional guarantees, general or specific, which may be required in intra-Community trade in relation to those Member States and regions, are to be laid down in accordance with the procedure set out therein.
(2) Annex I to Commission Decision 2008/185/EC of 21 February 2008 on additional guarantees in intra-Community trade of pigs relating to Aujeszky’s disease and criteria to provide information on this disease (2) lists Member States or regions thereof which are free of Aujeszky’s disease and where vaccination is prohibited.
(3) Decision 2008/185/EC also lays down the additional guarantees relating to that disease for movements of pigs between Member States. Those additional guarantees are linked to the disease-status of the concerned Member States or regions thereof.
(4) The experience in implementing those guarantees has shown that it is necessary to clarify that the movement of pigs between Member States or regions thereof, which are free of Aujeszky’s disease and where vaccination is prohibited and which are listed in Annex I to Decision 2008/185/EC, does not require any additional guarantees.
(5) Decision 2008/185/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Decision 2008/185/EC is amended as follows:

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

| COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2898/95 of 15 December 1995 concerning verification of compliance with quality standards for bananas
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 of 13 February 1993 on the common organization of the market in bananas (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 (2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Articles 2 to 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93, Commission Regulation (EC) No 2257/94 (3) lays down quality standards for bananas to be delivered fresh to the consumer; whereas those quality standards apply to bananas imported from third countries at the stage of release for free circulation, to bananas originating in the Community at the stage of first landing at a Community port and to bananas delivered fresh to the consumer in the producing region at the stage of leaving the packing shed;
Whereas measures should be adopted to ensure uniform application of the rules, in particular as regards conformity checks;
Whereas, while taking due account of the nature of a highly perishable product and of the marketing practices and inspection procedures used in the trade, it should be laid down that checks on conformity are to be carried out in principle at the stage to which the standards apply as laid down in the second paragraph of Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2257/94;
Whereas a product which has satisfied checks at that stage is deemed to comply with the standards; whereas that assessment should be without prejudice to any unannounced checks carried out subsequently up to the ripening depot stage;
Whereas the check on conformity must not be systematic but random, by assessment of an overall sample taken at random from the lot selected for checking by the competent body and assumed to be representative of that lot; whereas, for that purpose, the appropriate provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2251/92 of 29 July 1992 on quality inspection of fresh fruit and vegetables (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3148/94 (5), should be made applicable, in the light of the practice and experience acquired in this sector;
Whereas the banana trade is subject to strong competition; whereas the traders concerned have themselves introduced strict checks; whereas checks should not, therefore, be carried out at the stage laid down on traders who offer suitable guarantees as regards staff and handling facilities and who can guarantee that the bananas they market in the Community conform with Community standards; whereas such exemptions must be granted by the Member State on the territory of which the check must in principle be carried out; whereas such exemptions must be withdrawn where the standards and conditions relating thereto are not met;
Whereas, in order for checks to be carried out, information must be supplied to the competent agencies by the traders concerned;
Whereas the certificate of conformity issued upon completion of the checks should not constitute an accompanying document for the bananas up to the final stage of marketing, but a document of proof of the conformity of the bananas with Community standards up to the ripening depot stage, in accordance with the scope of the standard, to be presented at the request of the competent authorities; whereas it should be stressed that bananas not conforming with the standards laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2257/94 may not be marketed for fresh consumption in the Community;
Whereas the Management Committee for Bananas has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
Member States shall carry out checks in accordance with this Regulation to verify that bananas falling within CN code ex 0803 intended for delivery fresh to the consumer conform with the quality standards laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2257/94.
Bananas produced in the Community shall be subject to a check on their conformity with Community quality standards before loading onto a means of transport with a view to marketing fresh. Such checks may be carried out at the packing plant.
Bananas which are marketed outside their region of production shall be subject to unannounced checks when they are first unloaded elsewhere in the Community.
The checks referred to in the preceding subparagraphs shall be carried out subject to application of Article 7.
Before release for free circulation, bananas imported from third countries shall be subject to checks on their conformity with Community quality standards in the Member State of first unloading in the Community, subject to the application of Article 7.
1. Verification of conformity shall be carried out in accordance with Article 2 and Article 3, with the exception of paragraph 7 thereof, of Regulation (EEC) No 2251/92.
2. For products which, for technical reasons, cannot be checked for conformity upon first unloading in the Community, checks shall be carried out subsequently, at the latest on arrival at the ripening depot and in any case, as regards products imported from third countries, before release for free circulation.
3. On completion of the conformity check, a certificate drawn up in accordance with Annex I shall be issued for merchandise whose compliance with the standard has been ascertained.
The inspection certificate issued for bananas originating in third countries shall be presented to the customs authorities for release of those products for free circulation in the Community.
4. In the event on non-compliance, Article 3 (9) et seq. of Regulation (EEC) No 2251/92 shall apply.
5. Where the competent authority has not inspected certain merchandise, it shall place its official stamp on the notification provided for in Article 5 or, failing that, in the case of imported products it shall duly inform the customs authorities by any other appropriate means.
6. Traders shall provide all the facilities required by the competent agency for carrying out verifications pursuant to this Regulation.
The trader concerned or his representative, who does not qualify for the exemption provided for in Article 7, shall provide the competent agency in good time with all the information necessary for identification of the lots and detailed information on the place and date of packing and shipping for bananas harvested in the Community, the planned place and date of unloading in the Community for bananas from third countries or from Community regions of production and deliveries to ripening depots for bananas which cannot be checked when they are first unloaded in the Community.
1. Conformity checks shall be carried out by the departments or agencies designated by the competent national authorities. Such agencies must present suitable guarantees for carrying out such checks, in particular as regards equipment, training and experience.
2. The competent national authorities may delegate responsibility for carrying out checks to private bodies approved for that purpose which:
(a) have inspectors who have followed a training course recognized by the competent authority;
(b) have the equipment and facilities necessary for carrying out the verifications and analyses required for the checks; and
(c) have adequate facilities for communicating information.
3. The competent authorities shall periodically check the execution and efficiency of checks. They shall withdraw approval where they find anomalies or irregularities which could affect the correct execution of checks or where the requirements are no longer met.
1. Traders marketing bananas harvested in the Community or bananas imported from third countries shall not be subject to the checks on conformity with quality standards at the stages referred to in Articles 2 and 3 where they:
(a) have staff experienced in quality standards and handling and inspection facilities;
(b) keep records of the operations they carry out; and
(c) present guarantees that the quality of bananas they market conforms with Community standards.
Traders exempted from checks shall obtain a certificate of exemption in accordance with the specimen shown in Annex II.
2. Exemption from checks shall be granted, at the request of the trader concerned, by the inspection departments or agencies appointed by the competent national authorities of either the Member State of production, for bananas marketed in the Community production region, or the Member State of unloading, for Community bananas marketed elsewhere in the Community and bananas imported from third countries. Exemption from checks shall be granted for a maximum period of three years and shall be renewable. Such exemption shall apply to the whole of the Community market for products unloaded in the Member State which granted the exemption.
Those departments or agencies shall withdraw the exemption where they detect anomalies or irregularities which could affect the conformity of bananas with the standards or where the conditions set out in paragraph 1 are no longer met. Withdrawal shall be either temporary or permanent, according to the gravity of the deficiencies detected.
Member States shall establish a register of banana traders exempted from checks, allocate them a registration number and take appropriate steps to disseminate such information.
3. The competent departments or agencies of the Member States shall periodically verify the quality of bananas marketed by the traders referred to in paragraph 1 and compliance with the conditions set out therein. Exempted traders shall also provide all the facilities required for carrying out such verifications.
They shall notify the Commission of the list of traders granted the exemption provided for in this Article and of any withdrawals of exemption.
This Regulation shall apply without prejudice to any unannounced spot checks carried out subsequently up to the ripening depot stage.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 April 1996.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

approving the active substance Pseudomonas sp. strain DSMZ 13134, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market, and amending the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 13(2) and Article 78(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, Council Directive 91/414/EEC (2) is to apply, with respect to the procedure and the conditions for approval, to active substances for which a decision has been adopted in accordance with Article 6(3) of that Directive before 14 June 2011. For Pseudomonas sp. strain DSMZ 13134 the conditions of Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are fulfilled by Commission Decision 2008/599/EC (3).
(2) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the Netherlands received on 28 August 2007 an application from Sourcon-Padena GmbH & Co. KG for the inclusion of the active substance Pseudomonas sp. strain DSMZ 13134 in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Decision 2008/599/EC confirmed that the dossier was ‘complete’ in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(3) For that active substance, the effects on human and animal health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant. The designated rapporteur Member State submitted a draft assessment report on 3 November 2009.
(4) The draft assessment report was reviewed by the Member States and the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’). The Authority presented to the Commission its conclusion (4) on the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance Pseudomonas sp. strain DSMZ 13134 on 12 November 2012. The draft assessment report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 16 July 2013 in the format of the Commission review report for Pseudomonas sp. strain DSMZ 13134.
(5) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing Pseudomonas sp. strain DSMZ 13134 may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) and Article 5(3) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve Pseudomonas sp. strain DSMZ 13134.
(6) In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is, however, necessary to include certain conditions and restrictions. It is, in particular, appropriate to require further confirmatory information.
(7) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before approval in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the approval.
(8) Without prejudice to the obligations provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as a consequence of approval, taking into account the specific situation created by the transition from Directive 91/414/EEC to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the following should, however, apply. Member States should be allowed a period of six months after approval to review authorisations of plant protection products containing Pseudomonas sp. strain DSMZ 13134. Member States should, as appropriate, vary, replace or withdraw authorisations. By way of derogation from that deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier, as set out in Directive 91/414/EEC, of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles.
(9) The experience gained from inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (5) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the Directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I to that Directive or the Regulations approving active substances.
(10) In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 of 25 May 2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the list of approved active substances (6) should be amended accordingly.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Approval of active substance
The active substance Pseudomonas sp. strain DSMZ 13134, as specified in Annex I, is approved subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in poultrymeat(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 493/2002(2), and in particular Article 8(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) It follows from applying these rules and criteria to the present situation on the market in poultrymeat that the refund should be fixed at an amount which would permit Community participation in world trade and would also take account of the nature of these exports and their importance at the present time.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs,
The list of product codes for which, when they are exported, the export refund referred to in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 is granted, and the amount of that refund shall be as shown in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 28 May 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
