Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3389/73 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3477/93 (6), lays down the procedure and conditions for the sale of tobacco held by intervention agencies; whereas Article 5 (1) fixes the amount of the security applicable; whereas account should be taken of the trend since then as regards the market and export refunds;
Whereas, on account of the problems caused by the storage of baled tobacco, and in particular the cost of storage, an invitation to tender should be opened for the sale of the tobacco for export, without refund;
Whereas payment for all the lots is made before the tobacco is taken over; whereas it should be laid down that, at the request of the successful tenderer, the security is to be released progressively as the quantities of tobacco removed are exported;
Whereas experience has shown that a short time limit can be set and whereas there should therefore be a derogation from Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 3389/73 as regards the time limit of 45 days between the date of publication of the notice in the Official Journal of the European Communities and the date fixed for the submission of tenders, which should be reduced to 20 days;
Whereas, in view of the special features of the tobacco sector, the operative events for the conversion rates should be the payment of the purchase price in the case of successful tenders and the publication of the notice of invitation to tender in the case of securities; whereas, therefore, there should be a derogation from Articles 10 (1) and 12 (4) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1068/93 (7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2853/95 (8) notwithstanding the advance fixing of the rate for the payment of the purchase price in accordance with Articles 13 to 17 of the said Regulation;
Whereas the time limits for the successful tenderer to take over and export the tobacco should be fixed, having regard in particular to the quantities involved, experience gained and the requirements of sound financial management;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Tobacco,
Four lots of baled tobacco from the 1990 until 1992 harvest, held by the Greek intervention agency, with a total weight of about 1 204 tonnes, broken down as shown in the Annex hereto, shall be sold for export. The quantity on sale shall be specified in the notice of invitation to tender.

2. The Commission shall inform the relevant intervention agency forthwith of the result of the tendering procedure. The agency shall immediately release the securities of tenderers whose tenders were inadmissible or who were unsuccessful.
Save as otherwise provided in the second subparagraph of Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3389/73, the securities of the successful tenderer or tenderers shall be released once the conditions laid down in Article 7 (c) of that Regulation have been fulfilled.
3. On application by the person concerned, the security shall be released by instalments in proportion to the quantities of tobacco in respect of which the proof referred to in Article 7 of the said Regulation has been furnished.
Notwithstanding Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3389/73, the price per kilogram of tobacco tendered must be expressed in ecus per kilogram.
Notwithstanding the first sentence of Article 5 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3389/73, the amount of the security shall be ECU 0,85 per kilogram of baled tobacco.
Notwithstanding Articles 10 (1) and 12 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1068/93, the operative event for the agricultural conversion rate applied shall be:
- for the payment for successful tenders: payment of the purchase price,
- for the amount of the security: the publication of the notice of invitation to tender in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
Take-over may be staggered.
Notwithstanding Article 10a (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3389/73, the customs export declaration must have been accepted within 12 months of the time limit fixed in Article 4.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 of 29 July 1996 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 as regards import duties in the rice sector(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1298/2002(4), and in particular Article 4(1) thereof,

However, in the case of the products referred to in paragraph 2 of that Article, the import duty is to be equal to the intervention price valid for such products on importation and increased by a certain percentage according to whether it is husked or milled rice, minus the cif import price provided that duty does not exceed the rate of the Common Customs Tariff duties.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 874/2006
of 15 June 2006
fixing the export refunds on white sugar and raw sugar exported in its unaltered state
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that when refunds on white and raw sugar, undenatured and exported in its unaltered state, are being fixed account must be taken of the situation on the Community and world markets in sugar and in particular of the price and cost factors set out in Article 28 of that Regulation. The same Article provides that the economic aspect of the proposed exports should also be taken into account.
(3) The refund on raw sugar must be fixed in respect of the standard quality. The latter is defined in Annex I, point II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Furthermore, this refund should be fixed in accordance with Article 28(4) of that Regulation. Candy sugar is defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector (2). The refund thus calculated for sugar containing added flavouring or colouring matter must apply to their sucrose content and, accordingly, be fixed per 1 % of the said content.
(4) In special cases, the amount of the refund may be fixed by other legal instruments.
(5) The refund must be fixed every two weeks. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(6) The first subparagraph of Article 27(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that refunds on the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation may vary according to destination, where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The significant and rapid increase in preferential imports of sugar from the western Balkan countries since the start of 2001 and in exports of sugar to those countries from the Community seems to be highly artificial.
(8) To prevent any abuse through the re-import into the Community of sugar products in receipt of an export refund, no refund should be set for all the countries of the western Balkans for the products covered by this Regulation.
(9) In view of the above and of the present situation on the market in sugar, and in particular of the quotations or prices for sugar within the Community and on the world market, refunds should be set at the appropriate amounts.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, undenatured and exported in the natural state, are hereby fixed to the amounts shown in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 16 June 2006.

Having regard to the Council Directive of 5 November 1963 (1) on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning the preservatives authorised for use in foodstuffs intended for human consumption, and in particular Article 8 thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Whereas, under Article 7 of the Directive of 5 November 1963, preservatives must satisfy certain specific criteria of purity laid down, where appropriate, and in accordance with Article 8 (1) of that Directive;
Whereas it is necessary to lay down specific criteria of purity for all the preservatives listed in the Annex to the Directive of 5 November 1963 ; whereas in certain Member States it is not possible to apply such criteria simultaneously with the laws amended in pursuance of that Directive and it is therefore desirable to set 1 June 1966 as the date by which the criteria are to apply;
The specific criteria of purity referred to in Article 7 (b) of the Directive of 5 November 1963 are given in the Annex to this Directive.
Member States shall so amend their laws in accordance with the provisions of Article 1 that by 1 June 1966 the new measures apply to preservatives placed on the market.

(2) The quantities covered by the export licence applications for certain product groups and quotas exceed the quantities available for the 2015 quota year. The extent to which the export licences may be issued should therefore be determined by fixing the allocation coefficients to be applied to the quantities requested, calculated in accordance with Article 23(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1187/2009.
(3) The quantities covered by the export licence applications for certain product groups and quotas are less than the quantities available for the 2015 quota year. The remaining amounts should be divided between the applicants, in proportion to the amounts applied for, by applying an allocation coefficient, in accordance with Article 23(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1187/2009.
(4) Given the deadline established in Article 23(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1187/2009 for fixing allocation coefficients, this Regulation should come into force the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union,
The quantities covered by export licence applications lodged pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1187/2009 in respect of the product groups and quotas identified by ‘16-Tokyo and 16-, 17-, 18-, 20-, 21-Uruguay’ in column 3 of the Annex to this Regulation shall be multiplied by the allocation coefficients set out in column 5 of that Annex.
Applications for export licences lodged pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1187/2009 in respect of the product groups and quotas identified by ‘22-, 25-Tokyo and 22-, 25-Uruguay’ in column 3 of the Annex to this Regulation shall be accepted for the quantities applied for.
Export licences may be issued for further quantities distributed amongst applicants in accordance with the allocation coefficients set out in column 6 of the Annex, after acceptance by the operator within one week of publication of this Regulation and subject to the lodging of the requisite security.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 61/92 (2), and in particular the seventh indent of Article 9 (6) thereof,
Whereas Article 9 (4b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that during the 1991/92 to 1992/93 marketing years adjustment aid of ECU 0,08 per 100 kilograms of sugar expressed as white sugar is to be granted as an intervention measure to the Community's preferential raw cane sugar refining industry; whereas, as provided for in those provisions, additional aid equal to that amount is to be granted during the same period for the refining of raw cane sugar produced in the French overseas departments and for the refining of quantities of raw beet sugar harvested in the Community and qualifying for the refining aid pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article 9 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 and in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3695/91 (3);
Whereas the fourth subparagraph of Article 9 (4b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that the adjustment aid and the additional aid referred to above may be altered in respect of a given marketing year in the light in particular of the storage levy fixed for that year; whereas the storage levy for the 1992/1993 marketing year was fixed by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1799/92 (4) at ECU 2,50 per 100 kilograms of white sugar; whereas this amount is identical to that applicable for the 1991/1992 marketing year;
Whereas account should, however, be taken in the alteration in the aid in question that has already been made for the 1990/91 and 1991/92 marketing years in order to neutralize the effect of successive storage levy reductions on the refining margin for the 1992/93 marketing year;
Whereas these provisions must apply from the beginning of the 1992/93 marketing year on 1 July 1992;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The amounts of the adjustment aid and of the additional aid provided for respectively in the second and third subparagraphs of Article 9 (4b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 shall be fixed at ECU 1,58 per 100 kilograms of sugar expressed as white sugar for the 1992/93 marketing year.
For the same marketing year, the amount referred to in the first subparagraph shall also be granted, as additional aid, for the refining of the quantity of raw beet sugar referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 3695/91.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 July 1992. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

fixing the export refunds on syrups and certain other sugar products exported in the natural state
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector (2), provides that the export refund on 100 kilograms of the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 is equal to the basic amount multiplied by the sucrose content, including, where appropriate, other sugars expressed as sucrose; the sucrose content of the product in question is determined in accordance with Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95.
(3) Article 30(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the basic amount of the refund on sorbose exported in the natural state must be equal to the basic amount of the refund less one hundredth of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards granting the production refund on certain sugar products used in the chemical industry (3), to the products listed in the Annex to the last mentioned Regulation.
(4) According to the terms of Article 30(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, the basic amount of the refund on the other products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of the said Regulation exported in the natural state must be equal to one-hundredth of an amount which takes account, on the one hand, of the difference between the intervention price for white sugar for the Community areas without deficit for the month for which the basic amount is fixed and quotations or prices for white sugar on the world market and, on the other, of the need to establish a balance between the use of Community basic products in the manufacture of processed goods for export to third countries and the use of third country products brought in under inward-processing arrangements.
(5) According to the terms of Article 30(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, the application of the basic amount may be limited to some of the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of the said Regulation.
(6) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 makes provision for setting refunds for export in the natural state of products referred to in Article 1(1)(f) and (g) and (h) of that Regulation; the refund must be fixed per 100 kilograms of dry matter, taking account of the export refund for products falling within CN code 1702 30 91 and for products referred to in Article 1(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 and of the economic aspects of the intended exports; in the case of the products referred to in the said Article (1)(f) and (g), the refund is to be granted only for products complying with the conditions in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2135/95; for the products referred to in Article 1(1)(h), the refund shall be granted only for products complying with the conditions in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2135/95.
(7) The abovementioned refunds must be fixed every month; they may be altered in the intervening period.
(8) The first subparagraph of Article 27(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that refunds on the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation may vary according to destination, where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(9) The significant and rapid increase in preferential imports of sugar from the western Balkan countries since the start of 2001 and in exports of sugar to those countries from the Community seems to be highly artificial in nature.
(10) In order to prevent any abuses associated with the reimportation into the Community of sugar sector products that have qualified for export refunds, refunds for the products covered by this Regulation should not be fixed for all the countries of the western Balkans.
(11) In view of the above, refunds for the products in question should be fixed at the appropriate amounts.
(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(d), (f), (g) and (h) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, exported in the natural state, shall be set out in the Annex hereto to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 21 January 2005.

31992R3918 | Council Regulation (EEC) No 3918/92 of 28 December 1992 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas and ceilings for certain agricultural and industrial products and establishing a reduced variable component for certain processed agricultural products originating in Hungary, Poland and the territory of the former Czech and Slovak Federal Republic (CSFR) (1993)
| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) N° 3918/92 of 28 December 1992 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas and ceilings for certain agricultural and industrial products and establishing a reduced variable component for certain processed agricultural products originating in Hungary, Poland and the territory of the former Czech and Slovak Federal Republic (CSFR) (1993)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the European Agreements between the European Economic Community, the European Coal and Steel Community and the European Atomic Energy Community, on the one hand, and the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Poland and the Czech and Slovak Federal Republik (CSFR), on the other hand, were signed on 16 Decemer 1991; whereas, pending the entry into force of these Agreements, the Community has concluded Interim Agreements (1) (2) (3) on trade and trade-related measures with those countries, also signed on 16 December 1991 and implemented on 1 March 1992;
Whereas Articles 3 and 14 of the Interim Agreements stipulate that certain products originating in the countries in question may attract a reduced or zero rate of duty on import into the Community, within the limits of tariff quotas or ceilings; whereas, pursuant to the provisions annexed to those Agreements, the volumes of the tariff quotas and ceilings, established when the Europe Agreements were signed, must be increased, from the date on which the Interim Agreements enter into force, by a percentage specific to each country and category of products;
Whereas, further, for imports of some processed agricultural products not covered by Annex II to the Treaty, Article 13 and Protocol N° 3 of each of these Interim Agreements provide for the fixing of reduced variable components in accordance with each Protocol of the Agreements in question, within the limits of the quotas set or established in accordance with the Protocols concerned; whereas such Protocols provide for an annual increment of the volume of the quotas during the first five years of application;
Whereas it seems advisable, in the interests of clarity, to divide the products subject to tariff ceilings and quotas into two groups, in Annexes I and II to this Regulation, one for industrial products and one for agricultural products, specifying for each product the volume of its quota or ceiling and the rate of customs duty applicable; whereas Annexes III, IV and V to this Regulation, with their pertinent provisions, should group the processed agricultural products attracting a reduced variable component and originating, respectively, in Hungary, Poland and the territory of the former CSFR;
Whereas the decision for the opening of Community quotas should be taken by the Community, in the execution of its international obligations, in the case of the products listed in Annexes I, II, III, IV and V to this Regulation; whereas particular care should be taken to ensure that all Community importers have equal and continuous access to those quotas and that the rates laid down for the quotas are applied to all imports of the products in question into all Member States until the quotas are exhausted; whereas, to ensure the efficiency of a common administration of these quotas, there is no obstacle to authorizing the Member States to draw from the quota-volumes the necessary quantities corresponding to actual imports; whereas, however, this method of administration requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must in particular be able to monitor the rate at which the quotas are used up and inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas, in the case of the products listed in Annexes I and II to this Regulation which are subject to Community tariff ceilings, Community surveillance may be achieved by means of an administrative procedure based on charging imports of the products in question against the ceilings at Community level as and when those products are entered with the customs authorities for free circulation;
Whereas this administrative procedure requires close and particularly rapid cooperation between the Member States and the Commission, and the latter must in particular be able to monitor quantities charged against the ceilings and keep the Member States informed; whereas this cooperation has to be particularly close, since the Commission must be able to take appropriate measures to reintroduce customs duties once a ceiling is reached;
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within, and jointly represented by, the Benelux Economic Union, any operation concerning the administration of these tariff measures may be carried out by any one of its members,
From 1 January to 31 December 1993 goods originating in Hungary, Poland and the territory of the former CSFR which are listed in Annexes I and II to this Regulation shall be subject to Community tariff quotas or ceilings, according to the provisions contained within the said Annexes.
From 1 January to 31 December 1993 goods originating in Hungary, Poland and the territory of the former CSFR listed in Annexes III, IV and V to this Regulation shall be subject to a reduced variable component determined in accordance with Article 3, within the limits of the quotas and under the conditions set out in those Annexes.
The reduced variable components applicable from 1 January to 31 December 1993 shall be calculated as follows:
(a) the difference established in accordance with Article 6 (2) of Regulation (EEC) N° 3033/80 of 11 November 1980 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products (1), between the average threshold price and the average cif price or free-at-frontier price for each basic product shall be reduced by 20 %; however, the differences established, for common wheat, as far as Hungary is concerned, for the basic products falling within Chapter 4 of the combined nomenclature, as far as Poland and the territory of the former CSFR are concerned, and for barley, as far as the territory of the former CSFR is concerned, shall be reduced by 40 %;
(b) the amounts thus obtained shall apply to the quantities of basic products considered to have been used in the manufacture of the goods concerned in accordance with Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) N° 3033/80.
The variable components to be applied to those goods which are mentioned in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) N° 3033/80 but not mentioned in, respectively, Annexes III, IV and V to this Regulation, and to those goods which are mentioned in the said Annexes in amounts exceeding the quotas laid down in them, shall be those which are established by direct application of Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) N° 3033/80.
1. The tariff quotas referred to in Articles 1 and 2 shall be administered by the Commission, which may take all appropriate administrative measures in order to ensure efficient administration thereof.
2. Where an importer declares a product covered by this Regulation for free circulation in a Member State and applies to take advantage of the preferential arrangements, and that declaration is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall, by notifying the Commission, draw an amount corresponding to its reuqirements fromt the quota volume.
Requests for drawings, indicating the date of acceptance of the said declarations, must be sent to the Commission without delay.
The drawings shall be granted by the Commission by reference to the date of acceptance of the declaration for free circulation by the customs authorities of the Member State concerned, to the extent that the available balance so permits.
3. If a Member State does not use the quantites drawn, it shall return them to the corresponding quota volume as soon as possible.
4. If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the quota volume, the balance shall be allocated on a pro rata basis. The Commission shall inform the Member States of the drawings made.
1. Quantities shall be charged against the ceilings as and when products are declared to the customs authorities for free circulation.
Goods may be charged against a ceiling only if the movement certificate is presented before the date on which levying of customs duties is reintroduced.
2. The level of utilization of the ceilings shall be determined at Community level on the basis of the imports charged against them in accordance with paragraph 1.
Member States shall send the Commission, not later than the 15th day of each month, statements of the quantities charged during the preceding month.
3. As soon as the ceilings have been reached, the Commission may adopt a regulation reintroducing the customs duties applicable to the third countries in question until the end of the calendar year.
When the adoption of such a regulation is requested by a Member State, the Commission shall examine the request within the following five days and shall inform the requesting Member State of the action it considers it should take as a result of the request, in the light, in particular, of the statements sent as provided for in paragraph 2.
If the Joint Committees established by the Interim Agreements between the European Economic Community and, respectively, the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Hungary and the CSFR or the Association Councils established by the Association Agreements between these parties, decide to supplement the Annexes to Protocol N° 3 to the said Agreements, the Commission shall adjust the corresponding Annexes to this Regulation as a result.
The Protocol on the definition of the concept of originating products and methods of administrative cooperation, annexed to the Interim Agreements between the European Economic Community, the European Coal and Steel Community and the European Atomic Energy Community, on the one hand, and Poland, Hungary and the CSFR, on the other hand, shall apply
In order to ensure compliance with this Regulation, the Commission shall take all appropriate measures, in close cooperation with the Member States.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 213 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas the Council resolution of 19 June 1989 on the implementation of a plan of priority actions in the field of statistical information: statistical programme of the European Communities (1989 to 1992) (2) highlighted the need for a comprehensive and coherent framework that would satisfy Community statistical information requirements by ensuring the approximation of methods and a common basis for concepts, definitions and standards;
Whereas the statistical programme of the European Communities provides for the improvement of statistics on services as a necessary instrument for the efficient functioning of the internal market; whereas the inventory of available information, carried out in the framework of the statistical programme, highlighted considerable gaps in service statistics;
Whereas Council Decision 89/490/EEC of 28 July 1989 on the improvement of the business environment and the promotion of the development of enterprises, and in particular small and medium-sized enterprises, in the Community (3), may necessitate providing these enterprises, most of which are in the service sectors, with statistical information to enable them to operate efficiently in the internal market;
Whereas in Council Directive 89/130/EEC, Euratom, of 13 February 1989 concerning the harmonization of the compilation of gross national product at market prices (4) it is stated that improved GNPmp coverage presupposes the development of statistical bases; whereas the growing importance of services in the economy makes statistics on services an essential component of these statistical bases;
Whereas the Council resolution of 14 November 1989 on internal trade in the context of the internal market (5) highlighted the need to improve trade statistics by making them compatible with Community definitions;
Whereas in Council Decision 88/524/EEC of 26 July 1988 concerning the establishment of a plan of action for setting up an information services market (6), basic information on this sector is considered necessary for formulating policy on this market;
Whereas, taking acount of Council Directive 89/552/EEC of 3 October 1989 on the coordination of certain provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action in the Member States concerning the pursuit of television broadcasting activities (7), the collection of comparable basic information on audiovisual services is essential for the integration and further development of this sector;
Whereas in the resolution of the European Parliament of 17 March 1989 on the impact of infrastructures and the tertiary sector on regional development - prospects for a new regional policy (8), the Commission is asked to supply harmonized data on services, broken down by regions;
Whereas multilateral negotiations on international trade in services require improved statistics to achieve effective long-term liberalization;
Whereas attention must be devoted to simplifying as far as possible collection procedures for enterprises, while maintaining data quality, by developing appropriate basic statistical tools, and to ensuring that the administrative burden on enterprises is not needlessly increased;
Whereas for the purpose of monitoring the establishment of a people's Europe, an exploratory study should be carried out into the possibility of extending the collection of statistics to cover non-commercial services for individuals and the community;
Whereas a programme lasting two years is called for;
Whereas an amount of ECU 8,5 million is estimated as necessary to implement this two-year programme;
Whereas the amounts to be committed for the financing of the two-year programme for the period after the financial year 1992 will have to fall within the Community financial framework in force,
A two-year programme (1992 to 1993) for the development of European statistics on services (hereinafter referred to as 'the programme') is hereby established.
The objectives of the programme referred to in Article 1 shall be as follows:

After consultation of the Advisory Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions and the Committee pursuant to Article 124 of the Treaty,
Whereas the programming procedure for structural assistance under Objective 2 is defined in Article 9 (8) to (10) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 of 24 June 1988 on the tasks of the Structural Funds and their effectiveness and on coordination of their activities between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3193/94; whereas, however, the last subparagraph of Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 foresees that in order to simplify and to speed up programming procedures, Member States may submit in a single programming document the information required for the regional and social conversion plan referred to in Article 9 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 and the information required pursuant to Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88; whereas Article 10 (1) last subparagraph of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 foresees that in that case the Commission adopts a single decision in a single document covering the points referred to in Article 8 (3) and the assistance from the Funds referred to in the last subparagraph of Article 14 (3);
Whereas the Commission has established, by Decision 94/169/EC (4), an initial list of declining industrial areas concerned by Objective 2 for the period from 1994 to 1996; whereas this list has been enlarged by Decision 95/47/EC (5) as regards the zones eligible for Objective 2 in Austria and Finland;
Whereas Article 9 (6) second subparagraph of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 provides that, on an exceptional basis, the Commission can accede to a request from Austria, Finland or Sweden that assistance under Objective 2 be planned and implemented for the whole period from 1995 to 1999; whereas Austria has requested implementation of this provision and accordingly the assistance under Objective 2 will cover the period 1995 to 1999;
Whereas the Austrian Government has submitted to the Commission on 26 April 1995 the single programming document referred to in Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 for the region of Vorarlberg; whereas this document contains the elements referred to in Article 9 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 and in Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88; whereas expenditure under this single programming document is eligible, pursuant to Article 33 (2) second subparagraph of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, as from 1 January 1995;
Whereas the single programming document submitted by this Member State includes a description of the conversion priorities selected and the applications for assistance from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the European Social Fund (ESF);
Whereas, in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, the Commission is charged with ensuring, within the framework of the partnership, coordination and consistency between assistance from the Funds and assistance provided by the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the other financial instruments, including the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) and the other actions for structural purposes;
Whereas the EIB has been involved in the drawing up of the single programming document in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, applicable by analogy in the establishment of the single programming document; whereas it has declared itself prepared to contribute to the implementation of this document in conformity with its statutory provisions; whereas, however, it has not yet been possible to evaluate precisely the amounts of Community loans corresponding to the financial needs;
Whereas Article 2 second subparagraph of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1866/90 of 2 July 1990 on arrangements for using the ecu for the purpose of the budgetary management of the Structural Funds (6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2745/94 (7), stipulates that in the Commission Decisions approving a single programming document, the Community assistance available for the entire period and the annual breakdown thereof shall be set out in ecus at prices for the year in which each decision is taken and shall be subject to indexation; whereas this annual breakdown must be compatible with the progressive increase in the commitment appropriations shown in Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as amended by the Act of Accession (8); whereas indexation is based on a single rate per year, corresponding to the rates applied annually to budget appropriations on the basis of the mechanism for the technical adjustment of the financial perspectives;
Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4254/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the European Regional Development Fund (9), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2083/93 (10), defines the measures for which the ERDF may provide financial support;

Whereas the single programming document has been established in agreement with the Member State concerned through the partnership defined in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88;
Whereas the single programming document satisfies the conditions and includes the information required by Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88;
Whereas certain measures provided for in the present single programming document involve co-financing with existing aid schemes that were notified to the EFTA Surveillance Authority as existing aid on entry into force of the Agreement on the European Economic Area or have been approved by the EFTA Surveillance Authority or the Commission since 1 January 1994, or with new or altered aid schemes that have not yet been approved by the Commission; whereas the existing aid schemes will, if necessary, be brought into line with Articles 92 and 93 of the Treaty or replaced by other approved aid schemes;
Whereas the present assistance satisfies the conditions laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, and so should be implemented by means of an integrated approach involving finance from more than one Fund;
Whereas Article 1 of the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (13), as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom, ECSC) No 2335/95 (14), states that the legal commitments entered into for measures extending over more than one financial year must contain a time limit for implementation which must be specified to the recipient in due form when the aid is granted;
Whereas Article 20 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 provides, subject to available funding, for a single commitment where the Community assistance granted is less than ECU 40 million for the whole programming period;
Whereas all the other conditions laid down for the grant of aid from the ERDF and the ESF have been complied with,
The single programming document for Community structural assistance in the region of Vorarlberg concerned by Objective 2 in Austria, covering the period 1 January 1995 to 31 December 1999, is hereby approved.

1. This Decision is without prejudice to the position of the Commission on notified or unnotified new or existing aid schemes that are used in implementing the measures contained in the single programming document; pursuant to Articles 92 and 93 of the Treaty, aid schemes must be approved by the Commission, except where they comply with the de minimis rule as described in the Community guidelines on State aid for small and medium-sized enterprises (15).
2. Community assistance in connection with existing aid schemes within the meaning of Article 172 (5) of the Act of Accession shall be granted, subject to possible adjustments or limitations that may be necessary to render them compatible with the Treaty.
3. Community assistance for new or altered aid schemes shall be suspended until they have been approved by the Commission.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 May 2003 on the animal health requirements applicable to the non-commercial movement of pet animals and amending Council Directive 92/65/EEC (1), and in particular Articles 8(4) and 21 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 establishes veterinary conditions applying to non-commercial movements of pet dogs, cats and ferrets.
(2) Commission Decision 2003/803/EC (2) establishes a model passport for non-commercial movements of animals of those species between Member States, and Commission Decision 2004/203/EC (3) establishes a model certificate for non-commercial movements from third countries.
(3) From 3 July 2004 documents complying with those models should be presented to the authorities responsible for checks.
(4) To facilitate the transition to the arrangements of Regulation (EC) No 998/2003, certificates issued for non-commercial entry into a Member State before that Regulation applies, should be considered valid until their expiry date if they comply with the conditions established by that Regulation.
(5) Nevertheless, as regard the specific situation of Member States listed in Annex II, part A, it is appropriate to maintain during this transitional period the national conditions applicable to the acceptance of rabies certification.
(6) It is also appropriate to recognise as valid antibody titrations performed on the basis of national provisions which were applicable before the adoption of Commission Decision 2001/296/EC of 29 March 2001 authorising laboratories to check the effectiveness of vaccination against rabies in certain domestic carnivores (4).
(7) Furthermore, taking into account the request of certain third countries, the model passport established by Decision 2003/803/EC for non-commercial intra-Community movements of dogs, cats and ferrets should be recognised as valid for non-commercial movements of animals of those species from third countries listed in section 2 of part B of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 as an alternative to the certificates in force for movements from third countries.
(8) Since Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 will apply from 3 July 2004, this Decision should apply from the same date.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
By way of derogation from Decisions 2003/803/EC and 2004/203/EC, and with regard to rabies certifications, Member States shall authorise the non-commercial movement between Member States and from third countries of dogs, cats and ferrets accompanied by a certificate in a format different to the models established by those Decisions provided that it meets the following requirements:
(a) it has been issued before 3 July 2004;
(b) its period of validity has not expired; and
(c) it attests compliance with conditions established by Regulation (EC) No 998/2003.
Nevertheless, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Sweden may maintain the national conditions applicable before 3 July 2004 for the acceptance of rabies certification.
Antibody titrations performed on the basis of national provisions before the entry in force of Decision 2001/296/EC establishing a list of laboratories authorised to carry out this test shall be considered as valid.
Article 1 of Decision 2004/203/EC is replaced by the following:
‘Article 1
1. This Decision establishes the model certificate for non-commercial-movements from third countries of pet animals of the species dogs, cats and ferrets, provided for in Article 8(4) of Regulation (EC) No 998/2003.
That certificate shall be required for entries from all third countries into a Member State other than Ireland, Sweden and the United Kingdom and for entries into Ireland, Sweden and the United Kingdom from third countries listed in section 2 of part B and part C of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 998/2003.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, Member States shall authorise the non-commercial movement of dogs, cats and ferrets accompanied by a passport in accordance with the model established by Decision 2003/803/EC from those third countries listed in section 2 of part B of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 which have notified the Commission and the Member States of their intention to use the passport instead of the certificate.’

amending Decision 2009/1/EC granting a derogation requested by the Republic of Bulgaria pursuant to Decision 2008/477/EC on the harmonisation of the 2 500-2 690 MHz frequency band for terrestrial systems capable of providing electronic communications services in the Community

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Decision No 676/2002/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on a regulatory framework for radio spectrum policy in the European Community (Radio Spectrum Decision) (1), and in particular Article 4(5) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Decision 2008/477/EC of 13 June 2008 on the harmonisation of the 2 500-2 690 MHz frequency band for terrestrial systems capable of providing electronic communications services in the Community (2), and in particular Article 2(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Commission Decision 2009/1/EC (3), the Republic of Bulgaria has been authorised to postpone the implementation of Decision 2008/477/EC in North Bulgaria until 31 December 2009 and in South Bulgaria until 31 December 2010.
(2) The Republic of Bulgaria has informed the Commission that, due to unforeseen reduction in budget revenues in 2009 as a result of the economic crisis, the necessary financial resources were not available for releasing within the deadlines set by Decision 2009/1/EC the 2 500-2 690 MHz band in order to designate it and make it available, on a non-exclusive basis, for terrestrial systems capable of providing electronic communications services. Consequently, this band is still occupied on an exclusive basis by mobile electronic communication equipment used for national security needs in Bulgaria.
(3) By letter of 25 November 2009, the Republic of Bulgaria therefore requested the extension by one year of the transitional derogation granted by Decision 2009/1/EC. Bulgaria also provided a progress report on the implementation of Decision 2008/477/EC.
(4) Bulgaria has provided sufficient justification to its request for an extension of the transitional derogation. Bulgaria has informed the Commission that in 2009, it took the necessary non-financial preparatory measures to assign new frequencies to the national security service in order to replace the 2 500-2 690 MHz band and that the necessary financial resources would be made available in 2010 for the deployment of the new mobile radio communication system to be used for national security purposes.
(5) The members of the Radio Spectrum Committee indicated at the Committee meeting on 10-11 December 2009 that they do not object to this extension of the transitional derogation.
(6) The requested extension would not unduly defer implementation of Decision 2008/477/EC nor create undue differences between Member States with respect to competitive or regulatory situations. The request is justified and an extension of the transitional derogation by one year would be appropriate to facilitate the full implementation of Decision 2008/477/EC,
Decision 2009/1/EC is amended as follows:
1. in Article 1, ‘31 December 2009’ is replaced by ‘31 December 2010’ and ‘31 December 2010’ is replaced by ‘31 December 2011’;
2. in Article 3, ‘16 January 2010’ is replaced by ‘16 January 2011’ and ‘16 January 2011’ is replaced by ‘16 January 2012’.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Bulgaria. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

1. Publicity and promotional measures advocating human consumption of milk and milk products in the Community shall be encouraged under the conditions laid down in this Regulation.
Subsequent market surveys to ascertain the effectiveness of such measures shall be eligible for support. However, the costs relating thereto may not exceed 5 % of the total cost of the measure concerned.
2. The following shall qualify as measures within the meaning of paragraph 1:
- seminars, courses and conferences designed to provide personnel engaged in marketing milk and milk products with information and training or to aid such persons in spreading awareness about the consumption of these products,
- the purchase of refrigerators and refrigerated dispensers, provided that the contractor undertakes to use them only for the distribution of milk and milk products and for a minimum period of five years.
- publicity measures for dairy products for use in the technical industry and animal feed, if those measures are executed together by organizations of several Member States.
3. These measures shall be carried out within a year of the signature of the contract referred to in Article 5 (3) and in any case before 1 December 1985. However, a longer time limit may be agreed in exceptional cases in accordance with Article 5 (2) to ensure maximum effectiveness of the measure in question.
4. The time limit fixed in paragraph 3 shall not prevent subsequent agreement to an extension of that limit where the party to a contract, before the fixed expiry date, makes the appropriate application to the competent authority and proves that, due to exceptional circumstances beyond his control, he is unable to meet the deadline originally stipulated.
5. Subject to a contract as referred to in Article 5 (3) being concluded, measures carried out from 1 February 1984 shall be eligible for the Community contribution.

2. The Community contribution shall be limited to:
- 90 % of the expenditure incurred in respect of a measure within the meaning of Article 1 (1) and the first and third indents of Article 1 (2), if the organization in question has not previously financed such measures during the period 1 January 1975 to 31 December 1977,
- 50 % of the expenditure incurred in respect of a measure within the meaning of the second indent of Article 1 (2).
The Community contribution towards the cost of the measures referred to in the second indent of Article 1 (2) may not exceed 25 % of the expenditure incurred in respect of measures within the meaning of Article 1 (1) and (2) for the Member State concerned.
Where a measure in existence before 31 December 1977 is to be expanded, the Community contribution shall be limited to 90 % of the amount in excess of the total average expenditure of the same kind by the organization in question during the period 1 January 1975 to 31 December 1977, irrespective of any change in the legal form of the said organization.
On application by the organization in question, the average annual expenditure during the reference period referred to above may be replaced by an annual flat-rate sum of 0,15 ECU multiplied by the number of inhabitants in the territory where the organization in question carries out its activities in accordance with its statutes.
3. For the purposes of applying paragraph 2, no account shall be taken of administrative expenses incurred in carrying out these measures.

This shall not apply to measures indicated in the third indent of Article 1 (2).
2. Proposals must reach the competent authority before 1 September 1984. Where this date is not complied with, the proposal shall be considered null and void.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 21 May 2007
amending Decision 2005/393/EC as regards restricted zones in relation to bluetongue
(notified under document number C(2007) 2090)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2007/354/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/75/EC of 20 November 2000 laying down specific provisions for the control and eradication of bluetongue (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 6(1), Article 11 and Article 12 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2000/75/EC lays down control rules and measures to combat bluetongue in the Community, including the establishment of protection and surveillance zones and a ban on susceptible species leaving those zones.
(2) Article 6(1)(c) of Directive 2000/75/EC provides that where the presence of the bluetongue virus is officially confirmed, the official veterinarian is to extend certain measures provided for in Article 4 of that Directive to holdings located within a radius of 20 kilometres around the infected holding. Those measures aim at containing the disease in an initial state after virus introduction into a newly infected zone.
(3) However, in accordance with Article 6(2) those measures may be modulated by the affected Member State on the basis of the positive outcome of a risk assessment which takes into account geographical, epidemiological, ecological, entomological, meteorological and historical data and active surveillance results, including percentage of seropositive animals, virus serotype circulating and occurrence of vectors likely to be competent.
(4) It is therefore appropriate to lay down requirements for the exemption from the movement ban for animals leaving the 20 kilometres area around the infected holding, including animals destined for intra-Community trade and export, after having obtained the prior approval of the competent authority of the place of destination.
(5) Commission Decision 2005/393/EC of 23 May 2005 on protection and surveillance zones in relation to bluetongue and conditions applying to movements from or through these zones (2) provides for the demarcation of the global geographic areas where protection and surveillance zones (the restricted zones) are to be established by the Member States in relation to bluetongue.
(6) Commission Decision 93/444/EEC of 2 July 1993 on detailed rules governing intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products intended for exportation to third countries (3) provides that animals intended for export must be accompanied until the exit point from the Community by a certificate which contains, where necessary, the additional guarantees provided for by Community legislation for animals intended for slaughter. Accordingly, the certificate covering animals for export should include a reference to any insecticide treatment carried out pursuant to Decision 2005/393/EC.
(7) It is appropriate to provide for the conditions for the treatment of the animals and the means of transport with authorised insecticides at the place of loading from the restricted zones destined for or passing through areas outside a restricted zone. When during the transit through a restricted zone, a rest period is foreseen in a control post the animals must be protected from any attacks by vectors.
(8) Decision 2005/393/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Decision 2005/393/EC is amended as follows:
1. Article 2a is replaced by the following:
(a) animals destined for a holding within a radius of 20 km around an infected holding;
(b) animals destined for direct transport to a slaughterhouse situated within the restricted zone around the holding of dispatch;
(c) animals destined for a holding which is situated in the restricted zone around the holding of dispatch and outside a radius of 20 km around an infected holding, subject to:
(i) either prior approvals of the competent authorities of the place of the holdings of dispatch and destination and compliance with any animal health guarantees required by those competent authorities concerning measures against the spread of the bluetongue virus, and protection against attacks by vectors; or
(ii) an agent identification test as set out in Section A(1)(c) of Annex II carried out with negative results on a sample taken, within 48 hours prior to the time of dispatch, from the animal concerned which must be protected from attacks by vectors at least from the time that sample was taken and must not leave the holding of destination, except for direct slaughter or in accordance with Section A of that Annex;
(d) animals destined for a holding or for direct transport to a slaughterhouse which is situated outside the restricted zone around the holding of dispatch, including animals for intra-Community trade or export, subject to:
(i) prior approvals of the competent authorities of the Member States where the holdings of dispatch and destination are located and compliance with any animal health guarantees required by those competent authorities concerning measures against the spread of the bluetongue virus, and protection against attacks by vectors; and
(ii) compliance with at least the conditions set out in Article 3 or Article 4; and
(iii) in case of animals destined for intra-Community trade, the Member State of origin shall ensure that the following additional wording is added to the corresponding health certificates laid down in Council Directives 64/432/EEC, 91/68/EEC and 92/65/EEC, or, where the animals are destined for export, the health certificate laid down in Decision 93/444/EEC

fixing the final complementary quantity of raw cane sugar originating in the ACP States and India for supply to refineries for the 2006/2007 marketing year
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 the second subparagraph of Article 29(4),
Whereas:
(1) Article 29(4) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 lays down that, during the 2006/2007, 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 marketing years and in order to ensure adequate supply to Community refineries, import duties on a complementary quantity of imports of raw cane sugar originating in the States referred to in Annex VI to that Regulation are to be suspended.
(2) That complementary quantity should be calculated in accordance with Article 19 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 950/2006 of 28 June 2006 laying down detailed rules of application for the 2006/2007, 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 marketing years for the import and refining of sugar products under certain tariff quotas and preferential agreements (2), on the basis of an exhaustive Community forecast supply balance for raw sugar.
(3) For the 2006/2007 marketing year, the balance indicates the need to import a complementary quantity of raw sugar for refining of 334 025 tonnes in white sugar equivalent so that the Community refineries’ supply needs can be met. This complementary quantity includes an estimation of applications for import licences in the final months of the 2006/2007 marketing year, concerning imports referred to in Article 3(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1100/2006 of 17 July 2006 laying down, for the marketing years 2006/2007, 2007/08 and 2008/2009, detailed rules for the opening and administration of tariff quotas for raw cane-sugar for refining, originating in least developed countries, as well as detailed rules applying to the importation of products of tariff heading 1701 originating in least developed countries (3).
(4) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1249/2006 of 18 August 2006 fixing the complementary quantity of raw cane sugar originating in the ACP States and India for supply to refineries in the period from 1 July 2006 to 30 September 2007 (4) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 92/2007 of 30 January 2007 fixing a complementary quantity of raw cane sugar originating in the ACP States and India for supply to refineries for the marketing year 2006/2007 (5) already fixed complementary quantities of respectively 82 500 tonnes and 120 000 tonnes. It is therefore appropriate to fix the final quantity of complementary sugar of 131 525 tonnes for the marketing year 2006/2007.
(5) Adequate supply of the refineries can only be guaranteed if the traditional export agreements between the beneficiary countries are respected. Therefore a breakdown between the beneficiary countries or group of countries is needed. For India, a quantity of 6 000 tonnes is opened which brings the total quantity for the 2006/2007 marketing year for India to 22 000 tonnes which is considered an economically viable shipping quantity. The remaining quantities should be fixed for the ACP States, which have collectively undertaken to implement between themselves procedures for the allocation of the quantities in order to ensure the appropriate supply of the refineries.
(6) Prior to the import of this complementary sugar, the refiners need to make supply and shipping arrangements with the beneficiary countries and trade. In order to allow them to prepare for the application for import licences in due time, it is appropriate to provide for the entry into force of this Regulation as from the date of its publication.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
In addition to the quantities laid down in Regulations (EC) No 1249/2006 and (EC) No 92/2007, a final quantity of 131 525 tonnes of complementary raw cane sugar in white sugar equivalent is fixed for the marketing year 2006/2007:
(a) 125 525 tonnes expressed as white sugar originating in the States listed in Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 except India;
(b) 6 000 tonnes expressed as white sugar originating in India.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 of 26 June 1990 laying down a Community procedure for the establishment of maximum residue limits of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2701/94 (2), and in particular Articles 6, 7 and 8 thereof,
Whereas, in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90, maximum residue limits must be established progressively for all pharmacologically active substances which are used within the Community in veterinary medicinal products intended for administration to food-producing animals;
Whereas maximum residue limits should be established only after the examination within the Committee for Veterinary Medicinal Products of all the relevant information concerning the safety of residues of the substance concerned for the consumer of foodstuffs of animal origin and the impact of residues on the industrial processing of foodstuffs;
Whereas, in establishing maximum residue limits for residues of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin, it is necessary to specify the animal species in which residues may be present, the levels which may be present in each of the relevant meat tissues obtained from the treated animal (target tissue) and the nature of the residue which is relevant for the monitoring of residues (marker residue);
Whereas, for the control of residues, as provided for in appropriate Community legislation, maximum residue limits should usually be established for the target tissues of liver or kidney; whereas, however, the liver and kidney are frequently removed from carcases moving in international trade, and maximum residue limits should therefore also always be established for muscle or fat tissues;
Whereas, in the case of veterinary medicinal products intended for use in laying birds, lactating animals or honey bees, maximum residue limits must also be established for eggs, milk or honey;
Whereas florfenicol should be inserted into Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
Whereas gonadotrophin releasing hormone should be inserted into Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90; whereas by extrapolation of scientific data this classification into Annex II shall apply to all food-producing animals;
Whereas moxidectin, should be inserted into Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 in order to allow for the establishment of the specificity of the analytical method against Doramectin for which a standard must become publicly available;
Whereas ceftiofur should be inserted into Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 in order to allow for the completion of the validation of the analytical method for bovine and porcine liver and fat tissues; whereas surveillance of residues of ceftiofur is assured by monitoring bovine and porcine muscle and kidney tissues;
Whereas a period of 60 days should be allowed before the entry into force of this Regulation in order to allow Member States to make any adjustment which may be necessary to the authorizations to place the veterinary medicinal products concerned on the market which have been granted in accordance with Council Directive 81/851/EEC (3), as last amended by Directive 93/40/EEC (4) to take account of the provisions of this Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the adaptation to technical progress of Directives on the removal of technical barriers to trade in the veterinary medicinal products sector,
Annexes I, II and III to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 are hereby amended as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 60th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

| Commission Decision
of 30 June 2003
pursuant to Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the adequate protection of personal data in Argentina
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2003/490/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data(1), and in particular Article 25(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Directive 95/46/EC Member States are required to provide that the transfer of personal data to a third country may take place only if the third country in question ensures an adequate level of protection and if the Member States' laws implementing other provisions of the Directive are complied with prior to the transfer.
(2) The Commission may find that a third country ensures an adequate level of protection. In that case, personal data may be transferred from the Member States without additional guarantees being necessary.
(3) Pursuant to Directive 95/46/EC the level of data protection should be assessed in the light of all the circumstances surrounding a data transfer operation or a set of data transfer operations, and giving particular consideration to a number of elements relevant for the transfer and listed in Article 25(2) thereof. The Working Party on Protection of Individuals with regard to the processing of Personal Data, established under Article 29 of Directive 95/46/EC, issued guidance on the making of such assessments(2).
(4) Given the different approaches to data protection in third countries, the adequacy assessment should be carried out, and any decision based on Article 25(6) of Directive 95/46/EC should be made and enforced in a way that does not arbitrarily or unjustifiably discriminate against or between third countries where like conditions prevail, nor constitute a disguised barrier to trade, regard being had to the Community's present international commitments.
(5) As regards Argentina, the legal standards on the protection of personal data have been provided for in general and sector-specific rules. Both of them have binding legal effect.
(6) General rules are laid down in the Constitution, the Personal Data Protection Act No 25.326 and the Regulation approved by Decree No 1558/2001 (hereinafter "Argentine Law").
(7) The Argentine Constitution provides for a special judicial remedy for the protection of personal data, known as "habeas data". This is a subcategory of the procedure enshrined in the Constitution for the protection of constitutional rights and therefore makes the protection of personal data a fundamental right. According to Article 43.3 of the Constitution any person is entitled, under the "habeas data" rule, to know the content and purpose of all the data pertaining to him or her contained in public records or data banks, or in private ones whose purpose is to provide reports. According to that Article in case of falsehood of information or its use for discriminatory purposes, a person will be able to demand the deletion, correction, confidentiality or update of the data contained in the above records. The Article will not affect the secrecy of journalistic information sources. Argentine jurisprudence has recognised "habeas data" as a fundamental and directly applicable right.
(8) The Personal Data Protection Act No 25.326 of 4 October 2000 (hereinafter "the Act") develops and widens the Constitutional provisions. It contains provisions relating to general data protection principles, the rights of data subjects, the obligations of data controllers and data users, the supervisory authority or controlling body, sanctions, and rules of procedure in seeking "habeas data" as a judicial remedy.
(9) The Regulation, approved by Decree No 1558/2001 of 3 December 2001 (hereinafter "the Regulation"), lays down rules for the enactment of the Act, supplements its provisions, and clarifies points of the Act that may be subject to diverging interpretation.
(10) Argentine Law covers the protection of personal data recorded in data files, registers, data banks or other technical means, which are public; and the protection of personal data recorded in data files, registers, data banks or other technical means which are private, whose purpose is to provide reports. This includes those which go beyond an exclusively personal use, and those which are intended for the assignment or transfer of personal data, irrespective of whether the circulation of the data or information produced is performed for payment or free of charge.
(11) Certain provisions of the Act apply uniformly throughout Argentina. They include general provisions and provisions concerning general data protection principles, rights of the data subjects, obligations of data controllers and users of data files, registers and data banks, criminal sanctions, and the existence and main features of the "habeas data" judicial remedy as established in the Constitution.
(12) Other provisions of the Act apply to registers, data files, databases or data banks which are interconnected through networks at inter-jurisdictional (meaning "interprovincial"), national or international level, and which are considered as falling within federal jurisdiction. They concern the control exercised by the supervisory authority, sanctions imposed by the supervisory authority, and the rules of procedure concerning the "habeas data" judicial remedy. Other kinds of registers, data files, databases or data banks should be regarded as falling under provincial jurisdiction. The provinces may issue legal provisions on these matters.
(13) Data protection provisions are also contained in a number of legal instruments regulating different sectors, such as credit card transactions, statistics, banking or health.
(14) Argentine Law covers all the basic principles necessary for an adequate level of protection for natural persons, even if exceptions and limitations are also provided in order to safeguard important public interests. The application of these standards is guaranteed by a special, simplified and quick judicial remedy for the protection of personal data, known as "habeas data", along with the general judicial remedies. The Act provides for the establishment of a data protection controlling body charged with taking all actions necessary for compliance with the objectives and provisions of the Act and endowed with powers of investigation and intervention. Pursuant to the Regulation, the National Directorate for the Protection of Personal Data was established as the controlling body. Argentine Law provides for effective dissuasive sanctions, of both an administrative and a criminal nature. Furthermore, the provisions of Argentine law regarding civil liability (both contractual and extra-contractual) apply in the event of unlawful processing which is prejudicial to the persons concerned.
(15) The Argentine government has provided explanations and assurances as to how the Argentine law is to be interpreted, and has given assurances that the Argentine data protection rules are implemented in accordance with such interpretation. This Decision is based on these explanations and assurances, and is therefore conditional upon them. In particular, this decision relies on the explanations and assurances given by the Argentine authorities as to how the Argentine law is to be interpreted as regards which situations fall within the scope of the Argentine law in data protection.
(16) Argentina should therefore be regarded as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data as referred to in Directive 95/46/EC.
(17) In the interest of transparency and in order to safeguard the ability of the competent authorities in the Member States to ensure the protection of individuals as regards the processing of their personal data, it is necessary to specify the exceptional circumstances in which the suspension of specific data flows may be justified, notwithstanding the finding of adequate protection.
(18) The Working Party on Protection of Individuals with regard to the processing of Personal Data established under Article 29 of Directive 95/46/EC has delivered an opinion on the level of protection of personal data in Argentina(3), which has been taken into account in the preparation of this Decision.
(19) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established under Article 31(1) of Directive 95/46/EC,
For the purposes of Article 25(2) of Directive 95/46/EC, Argentina is regarded as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data transferred from the Community.
This Decision concerns only the adequacy of protection provided in Argentina with a view to meeting the requirements of Article 25(1) of Directive 95/46/EC and does not affect other conditions or restrictions implementing other provisions of that Directive that pertain to the processing of personal data within the Member States.
1. Without prejudice to their powers to take action to ensure compliance with national provisions adopted pursuant to provisions other than Article 25 of Directive 95/46/EC, the competent authorities in Member States may exercise their existing powers to suspend data flows to a recipient in Argentina in order to protect individuals with regard to the processing of their personal data in cases where:
(a) a competent Argentine authority has determined that the recipient is in breach of the applicable standards of protection; or
(b) there is a substantial likelihood that the standards of protection are being infringed; there are reasonable grounds for believing that the competent Argentine authority is not taking or will not take adequate and timely steps to settle the case at issue; the continuing transfer would create an imminent risk of grave harm to data subjects and the competent authorities in the Member State have made reasonable efforts in the circumstances to provide the party responsible for processing established in Argentina with notice and an opportunity to respond.
The suspension shall cease as soon as the standards of protection are assured and the competent authority concerned in the Community is notified thereof.
2. Member States shall inform the Commission without delay when measures are adopted on the basis of paragraph 1.
3. The Member States and the Commission shall inform each other of cases where the action of bodies responsible for ensuring compliance with the standards of protection in Argentina fails to secure such compliance.
4. If the information collected under paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 provides evidence that any body responsible for ensuring compliance with the standards of protection in Argentina is not effectively fulfilling its role, the Commission shall inform the competent Argentine authority and, if necessary, present draft measures in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 31(2) of Directive 95/46/EC with a view to repealing or suspending this Decision or limiting its scope.
1. This Decision may be amended at any time in the light of experience with its functioning or of changes in Argentine legislation, its implementation and interpretation.
The Commission shall monitor the functioning of this Decision and report any pertinent findings to the Committee established under Article 31 of Directive 95/46/EC, including any evidence that could affect the finding in Article 1 of this Decision that protection in Argentina is adequate within the meaning of Article 25 of Directive 95/46/EC and any evidence that this Decision is being implemented in a discriminatory way.
2. The Commission shall, if necessary, present draft measures in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 31(2) of Directive 95/46/EC.
Member States shall take all the measures necessary to comply with this Decision at the latest at the end of a period of 120 days from the date of its notification to the Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 5(2) and Article 5(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 lays down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) in animals. It applies to the production and placing on the market of live animals and products of animal origin. For that purpose, the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) status of Member States or third countries or regions thereof (‘countries or regions’) is to be determined by classification into one of three categories depending on the BSE risk involved, namely a negligible BSE risk, a controlled BSE risk and an undetermined BSE risk.
(2) The Annex to Commission Decision 2007/453/EC of 29 June 2007 establishing the BSE status of Member States or third countries or regions thereof according to their BSE risk (2) lists countries or regions according to their BSE risk status.
(3) Pending the final conclusion on the BSE risk status of the Member States, all Member States were provisionally recognised as countries with a controlled BSE risk as laid down in Decision 2007/453/EC. During the OIE General Session in May 2008, a Resolution was adopted relating to the BSE status of different countries. The Annex to Decision 2007/453/EC should therefore be brought in line with the recommendations of the Resolution of the OIE.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures, amending and repealing Directives 67/548/EEC and 1999/45/EC, and amending Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (1), and in particular Article 37(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Part 3 of Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 contains two lists of harmonised classification and labelling of hazardous substances. Table 3.1 lists the harmonised classification and labelling of hazardous substances based on the criteria set out in Parts 2 to 5 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. Table 3.2 lists the harmonised classification and labelling of hazardous substances based on the criteria set out in Annex VI to Council Directive 67/548/EEC of 27 June 1967 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances (2). Those two lists need to be amended to include updated classifications for substances already subject to those harmonised classifications and to include new harmonised classifications.
(2) The Committee for Risk Assessment of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has issued opinions on proposals for harmonised classification and labelling of substances which had been submitted to ECHA pursuant to Article 37 of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. Based on those opinions, as well as on the comments received from the parties concerned, it is appropriate to amend Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 in order to harmonise the classification and labelling of certain substances.
(3) The harmonised classifications set out in Part 3 of Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, as amended by this Regulation, should not apply immediately, as a certain period of time will be necessary to allow operators to adapt the labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures to the new classifications and to sell existing stocks. In addition, a certain period of time will be necessary to allow operators to comply with the registration obligations resulting from the new harmonised classifications for substances classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to reproduction, categories 1A and 1B (Table 3.1) and categories 1 and 2 (Table 3.2), or as very toxic to aquatic organisms which may cause long term effects in the aquatic environment, in particular with those set out in Article 23 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 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 (3).
(4) In line with the transitional provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 which allow the application of the new provisions at an earlier stage on a voluntary basis, suppliers should have the possibility of applying the harmonised classifications set out in Part 3 of Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, as amended by this Regulation, and of adapting the labelling and packaging accordingly on a voluntary basis before 1 December 2013.
(5) 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,
Part 3 of Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 is amended as follows:
(1) Table 3.1 is amended as follows:
(a) The entries corresponding to the entries set out in Annex I are replaced by the entries set out in that Annex;
(b) The entries set out in Annex II are inserted in accordance with the order of the entries set out in Table 3.1.
(2) Table 3.2 is amended as follows:
(a) The entries corresponding to the entries set out in Annex III are replaced by the entries set out in that Annex;
(b) The entries set out in Annex IV are inserted in accordance with the order of the entries set out in Table 3.2.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
shall apply from 1 December 2013.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 40/2008 of 16 January 2008 fixing for 2008 the fishing opportunities and associated conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, applicable in Community waters and, for Community vessels, in waters where catch limitations are required (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of point 8.7 of Annex IIA thereto,
Having regard to the request made by the United Kingdom,
Whereas:
(1) Points 8 and 14 of Annex IIA to Regulation (EC) No 40/2008 specify the maximum allowable fishing effort by defining maximum number of days at sea for which Community vessels of length overall equal to or greater than 10 metres carrying on board certain types of gear may be present within certain areas ranging from the Kattegat to the west of Scotland.
(2) Point 8.5 of that Annex enables a Member State to manage, during the 2008 management period, its fishing effort allocations according to a kilowatt-day system. Such a management system allows allocating to fishing vessels a maximum number of days at sea different from those set out in that Annex, provided that the overall amounts of kilowatt-days corresponding to the combination of gear grouping and operational area to which the vessels belong is respected.
(3) Point 8.6 of that Annex specifies that such a reallocation of days at sea shall be made with a view to a more efficient use of fishing opportunities or in order to stimulate fishing practices that lead to reduced discards and lower fishing mortality of both juvenile and adult fish.
(4) Point 8.7 of that Annex provides the level of data detail that is requested from a Member State wishing to obtain the Commission’s authorisation for implementing such an alternative fishing effort management system.
(5) The United Kingdom has submitted a request to the Commission with letters dated 14 April, 2 May and 22 July, and with electronically formatted reports sent May, August and September 2008 as regards such an alternative management system in the United Kingdom, applying to fishing vessels using trawls or Danish seines with a mesh size of either between 70 and 89 mm or of 100 mm and more, operating in EC waters of the Norwegian Sea, the North Sea or to the west of Scotland (ICES areas IIa, IVa to IVc or VIa). That request and reports contained the information and data required under point 8.7 of Annex IIA to Regulation (EC) No 40/2008, in particular about the scope, outline, calculation, operation, monitoring and evaluation of that system.
(6) The United Kingdom’s system applies initially to 867 vessels. Their aggregated effort maxima during the 2008 management period are 21 095 690 kilowatt-days for the gear groupings in the range of 70 to 89 mm mesh size operating in any of the areas mentioned, and 27 867 735 kilowatt-days for the gear groupings in a range of 100 mm or more mesh size operating in any of the areas mentioned. In view of the lower amount of days at sea available to the gear groupings of mesh sizes ranging from 100 mm when operating to the west of Scotland, a sub-ceiling of 24 622 862 kilowatt-days is applicable to their fishing trips to the west of Scotland. Therefore, the conditions provided for in point 8.5 of Annex IIA to Regulation (EC) No 40/2008 are fulfilled by that system.
(7) The Commission has evaluated that system and concluded that it serves the objectives set out in point 8.6 of Annex IIA to Regulation (EC) No 40/2008. The system reallocates the days with a view to more efficient use of fishing opportunities and in order to stimulate fishing practices that lead to reduced discards and lower fishing mortality of both juvenile and adult fish as required under that point. Moreover, under that system, the participating vessels are obliged to support specific conservation measures. These differ slightly in concept and importance according to the regions, and comprise the following components: respecting real-time area closures that have been established upon the detection of cod aggregations; using larger square mesh panels in order to increase whitefish selectivity; taking part in trials for more selective gears; and using only one gear instead of several during a trip. The impact of these measures will have to be evaluated at a later stage.
(8) One of the incentives for fishermen to participate in the system is the allocation of steady effort compared to the management period 2007, known as ‘conservation credits’ in Scotland, despite the reduction in maximum number of days at sea that apply to trawlers in the North Sea and to the west of Scotland for the management period 2008.
(9) Therefore the United Kingdom’s effort pool system of management in EC waters of ICES areas IIa, IVa to IVc and VIa, fishing effort of trawls, Danish seines and similar gears, except beam trawls, of mesh size either equal to or larger than 70 mm and less than 90 mm or equal to or larger than 100 mm by way of allocating and monitoring kilowatt-days should be authorised for the management period 2008,
The United Kingdom’s effort pool system of management in EC waters of ICES areas IIa, IVa to IVc and VIa, fishing effort of trawls, Danish seines and similar gears, except beam trawls, of mesh size either equal to or larger than 70 mm and less than 90 mm or equal to or larger than 100 mm by way of allocating and monitoring kilowatt-days, submitted on 14 April, 2 May and 22 July 2008, is hereby authorised for the management period 2008.

In fixing this maximum, the criteria provided for in Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 must be taken into account. A contract is awarded to any tenderer whose tender is equal to or less than the maximum export refund.
(3) The application of the abovementioned criteria to the current market situation for the rice in question results in the maximum export refund being fixed at the amount specified in Article 1.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The maximum export refund on wholly milled and parboiled long grain B rice to be exported to certain third countries pursuant to the invitation to tender issued in Regulation (EC) No 1877/2003 is hereby fixed on the basis of the tenders submitted from 10 to 13 November 2003 at 290,00 EUR/t.

(2007/704/EC)
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) (the ‘basic Regulation’), and in particular Articles 8 and 9 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. EXISTING MEASURES
(1) The Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1601/2001 (2), imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain iron or steel ropes and cables originating in the Czech Republic, Russia, Thailand and Turkey (‘the product concerned’).
(2) The Commission, by Decision 2001/602/EC (3), accepted price undertakings offered by Open Joint Stock Company Cherepovetsky Staleprokatny Zavod, Russia (‘ChSPZ’) and Usha Siam Steel Ind., Public Company Ltd, Thailand (‘Usha Siam’).
(3) On 10 August 2004, the Commission initiated a partial interim review of Regulation (EC) No 1601/2001 in accordance with Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation, limited in scope to the examination of dumping as far as ChSPZ and another Russian producer are concerned (4).
(4) As explained in a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union
(5), ChSPZ's name was changed to Closed Joint Stock Company Severstal-Metiz, applicable as of 1 January 2006.
(5) On 3 August 2006, the Commission initiated an expiry review of Council Regulation (EC) No 1601/2001 (6).
(6) On 22 March 2007 (7), the Commission initiated a partial interim review of Regulation (EC) No 1601/2001 limited in scope to the examination of dumping as far as Usha Siam is concerned.
(7) All three investigations have been concluded by Council Regulation (EC) No 1279/2007 (8) which imposed with certain amendments to the level of the duties the measures for Russia and repealed the measures for Thailand and Turkey.
B. WITHDRAWAL OF THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE UNDERTAKING OF CLOSED JOINT STOCK COMPANY SEVERTAL-METIZ, RUSSIA
(8) As set out in recital 199-203 of Regulation (EC) No 1279/2007 and after having consulted all parties concerned, the undertaking of Closed Joint Stock Company Severstal-Metiz in its current form is not appropriate to counteract the injurious effect of dumping, since it presents considerable monitoring and enforcement difficulties.
(9) The interim review revealed that since the acceptance of the undertaking in 2001 the product range of SSM had changed significantly.
(10) The undertaking classified the SWR produced by them in a considerable number of product types with significant price variations within each type. The review investigation confirmed that the company had serious problems in classifying the different product types properly and in accordance with the terms of the undertaking. This was partly due to accounting system limitations which did not allow them to properly distinguish between different SWR product types. Similar problems were already identified during the monitoring of the undertaking and led to a warning letter.
(11) It has therefore been concluded that the undertaking in its current form is no longer workable.
(12) On this basis and in accordance with the relevant clauses of the undertaking, which authorise the Commission to unilaterally withdraw the acceptance of the undertaking, the Commission has decided to withdraw acceptance of the undertaking.
(13) The Commission informed the Russian authorities and the Russian exporting producer concerned that it proposed to withdraw the acceptance of the current undertaking. The interested parties were given the opportunity to comment.
C. REPEAL OF THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE UNDERTAKING OF USHA SIAM STEEL IND. PUBLIC COMPANY LTD., THAILAND
(14) In the light of the findings regarding Thailand and as set out in recital 209 of Regulation (EC) No 1279/2007 anti-dumping measures against imports of the product concerned originating in this country are repealed.
(15) As a consequence, the undertaking offered by Usha Siam should be repealed.
D. REPEAL OF DECISION 2001/602/EC
(16) In the light of the above, Decision 2001/602/EC accepting undertakings from the two companies mentioned above should be repealed,
Decision 2001/602/EC is hereby repealed.
This Decision shall take effect on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1630/2000(4), lays down the procedures and conditions for the disposal of cereals held by the intervention agencies.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 668/2001(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1095/2001(6), opened a standing invitation to tender for the export of 3000055 tonnes of barley held by the German intervention agency. Germany informed the Commission of the intention of its intervention agency to increase by 499923 tonnes the quantity for which a standing invitation to tender for export has been opened. The total quantity of barley held by the German intervention agency for which a standing invitation to tender for export has been opened should be increased to 3499978 tonnes.
(3) This increase in the quantity put out to tender makes it necessary to alter the list of regions and quantities in store. Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 668/2001 must therefore be amended.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
Regulation (EC) No 668/2001 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 2 is replaced by the following:
"Article 2
1. The invitation to tender shall cover a maximum of 3499978 tonnes of barley to be exported to all third countries with the exception of the United States, Canada and Mexico.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 486/85 of 26 February 1985 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States and the overseas countries and territories (1), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 486/85 stipulates that, for the period 1 January to 31 March, carrots, falling within subheading ex 07.01 G II of the Common Customs Tariff, and, for the period 15 February to 15 May, onions, falling within subheading ex 07.01 H of the Common Customs Tariff and originating in the countries in question are subject on importation into the Community to the reduced rates of duty of 10,2 and 4,8 % respectively; whereas such reduction of duties applies only to imports up to ceilings of 500 tonnes for each of these products above which the customs duties actually applicable to third countries are reintroduced;
Whereas the application of ceilings requires the Community to be regularly informed of the trend of imports of the relevant products originating in these countries; whereas imports should, therefore, be made subject to a system of surveillance;
Whereas this objective may be achieved by means of an administrative procedure based on offsetting imports of the products in question against the ceilings at Community level as and when these products are entered with customs authorities for free circulation; whereas this administrative procedure must make provision for the possible reintroduction of customs tariff duties as soon as the ceilings are reached at Community level;
Whereas this administrative procedure requires close and particularly swift cooperation between the Member States and the Commission; whereas the latter must, in particular, be able to follow the progress of quantities charged against the ceilings and keep the Member States informed; whereas this cooperation has to be particularly close since the Commission must be able to take the appropriate measures to reintroduce customs tariff duties if one of the ceilings is reached;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
1. Imports of the products, originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States, and the overseas countries and territories, which are listed in the Annex, shall be subject to ceilings and to Community surveillance.
The products referred to in the first subparagraph, their tariff headings, the customs duties applicable, the periods of validity and the levels of the ceilings are set out in the said Annex.
2. Quantities shall be charged against the ceilings as and when products are entered with customs authorities for free circulation, accompanied by a movement certificate.
Products may be charged against a ceiling only if the movement certificate is submitted before the date on which customs duties are reintroduced.
The extent to which a ceiling is used up shall be determined at Community level on the basis of the imports charged against it, as defined in the preceding subparagraphs.
Member States shall inform the Commission, at the intervals and within the time limits specified in paragraph 4, of imports effected in accordance with the above procedures.
3. As soon as a ceiling has been reached, the Commission shall adopt a Regulation reintroducing, until the end of its period of validity, the customs duties applicable to third countries.
4. Member States shall send the Commission statements of the quantities charged for periods of 10 days, to be forwarded within five clear days of the end of each 10-day period.
The Commission shall take all appropriate measures, in close cooperation with the Member States, to ensure the implementation of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1986.

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 organisation of the market in bananas(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2587/2001(2), and in particular Article 20 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 896/2001(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2351/2001(4), lays down detailed rules for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 404/93, to apply from 1 July 2001, with a view to the management of the tariff import quotas provided for in Article 18(1) of the latter Regulation.
(2) Article 18(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93, as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2587/2001, amends the tariff import quotas from 1 January 2002. In particular it reduces tariff quota C by 100000 tonnes and reserves access to it for products originating in the ACP countries. As a result of those amendments, it should be borne in mind that the structures of the trade in products originating in the ACP countries feature greater integration of the various commercial operations, which are carried out to a large extent by traditional operators as defined in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 896/2001. In order to ensure the continuity of import flows and at the same time to allocate non-traditional operators a share of tariff quota C that enables them to continue their activities in this trade and in order to foster sound competition, the allocation of tariff quota C among traditional and non-traditional operators should be adjusted and Article 2 of the abovementioned Regulation should be amended accordingly. The new allocation should correspond more closely to the operations actually carried out by each of the two categories of operators over the last three years.
(3) The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 896/2001 lists the authorities competent in the Member States to issue licences for importing bananas from third countries. Following notifications from several Member States, that Annex should be amended.
(4) This Regulation must enter into force immediately in view of the time limits laid down in Regulation (EC) No 896/2001.
(5) The Management Committee for Bananas has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chairman,
Regulation (EC) No 896/2001 is hereby amended as follows:

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market(1), as last amended by Commission Directive 2002/37/EC(2), and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 8(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in May 1998 Germany received an application from Menno Chemie Vertriebsgesellschaft mbH for the inclusion of the active substance benzoic acid in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Commission Decision 98/676/EC(3) confirmed that the dossier was complete and could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annex II and Annex III to the Directive.
(2) The Netherlands received a similar application in March 1997 from Luxan BV concerning carvone. This dossier was declared complete by Commission Decision 1999/610/EC(4).
(3) Italy received a similar application in October 1997 from Kumiai Chemical Industry Co., Ltd concerning mepanipyrim. This dossier was also declared complete by Decision 98/676/EC.
(4) Furthermore, Italy received a similar application in June 1997 from RhĂ´ne Poulenc Agro SpA (now Bayer Crop Sciences) concerning oxadiargyl. This dossier was declared complete by Commission Decision 98/398/EC(5).
(5) The United Kingdom received a similar application in January 1998 from Novartis Crop Protection UK Ltd (now Syngenta) concerning trifloxystrobin. This dossier was declared complete by Commission Decision 1999/43/EC(6).
(6) Confirmation of the completeness of the dossiers was necessary in order to allow them to be examined in detail and to allow Member States the possibility of granting provisional authorisations, for periods up to three years, for plant protection products containing the active substances concerned, while complying with the conditions laid down in Article 8(1) of Directive 91/414/EEC and, in particular, the condition relating to the detailed assessment of the active substance and the plant protection product in the light of the requirements laid down by the Directive.
(7) For these active substances, the effects on human 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 respective applicants. The rapporteur Member States submitted the draft assessment reports to the Commission on 12 December 2000 for benzoic acid, on 16 October 2000 for carvone, on 12 July 2000 for mepanipyrim, on 20 July 1999 for oxadiargyl, and on 19 September 2000 for trifloxystrobin.
(8) It will not be possible to complete the evaluation of the dossiers within the timeframe set by the relevant decisions on completeness, because the examination of the dossiers is still ongoing after submission of the draft assessment reports by the respective rapporteur Member States.
(9) As the evaluation so far has not identified any reason for immediate concern, Member States should be given the possibility of prolonging provisional authorisations granted for plant protection products containing the active substances concerned for a period of 24 months in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 of Directive 91/414/EEC so as to enable the examination of the dossiers to continue. It is expected that the evaluation and decision-making process with respect to a decision on possible Annex I inclusion for each of the active substances concerned will have been completed within 24 months.
(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Member States may extend provisional authorisations for plant protection products containing benzoic acid, carvone, mepanipyrim, oxadiargyl and trifloxystrobin for a period not exceeding 24 months from the date of adoption of this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to the historical relationship between the price recorded for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton. That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001(3). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling EUR 21,445/100 kg.

Whereas Article 13a of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 provides that, in order to be recognized, citrus fruit producers' organizations must meet additional conditions, with a view to making up for the structural shortcomings of the market; whereas those conditions are designed to provide reasonable assurance that these organizations, by virtue of their size, the length of time they have been in operation, their constitution and the way in which they function, will contribute to the improvements sought in the conditions in which citrus fruits are produced and marketed;
Whereas these requirements, which are intended to ensure that producers' organizations have a minimum level of stability and economic activity, particularly as regards the number of members and volume of production, must be determined in the light of the structural diversity of the producer regions in the south of the Community;
Whereas, also for the purpose of stability and effectiveness, it is necessary to specify, first, the means and facilities which producers' organizations must place at the disposal of their members and, secondly, the type of rules which such organizations must adopt and impose on their members in order to achieve the objectives of groups recognized pursuant to Community rules;
Whereas the implementation of the specific measures adopted by the Council, together with those in this Regulation, implies a strict obligation for producers' organizations to transmit detailed and exact information at given intervals to the authority designated by the Member State, in order to enable the latter to monitor the execution of undertakings made by producers' organizations with a view to recognition; whereas the checks to be carried out by the Member States and the communications for monitoring the application of the abovementioned provisions should be specified;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
Member States shall grant recognition to citrus fruit producers' organizations which comply with Articles 13 and 13a of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 and the provisions of this Regulation.
'Citrus fruit producers' organizations' means organizations of producers whose citrus fruit production is relatively more important than the production of any other type of fruit and vegetable.
1. The minimum volume of marketable citrus fruit and the minimum number of members which producers' organizations must have pursuant to Article 13a (1) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 shall be as set out in Annex I.
2. For the purposes of paragraph 1, the production to be taken into account shall be the average citrus fruit production marketed by all the member producers during the three marketing years prior to recognition.
The necessary means to attain the objectives referred to in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 shall include at least facilities for:
- sorting, sizing and market preparation, with a capacity appropriate to the volume of citrus fruit production delivered by members,
- the administration of technical and commercial activity,
- centralized bookkeeping.

Whereas, by letter dated 25 January 1982, the Netherlands have requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'ATL - Duplex System, model Mark V', ordered on 1 August 1980 and to be used for research on the early detection of atherosclerotic vascular wall changes and in particular on the carotid arteries, should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 2 July 1982 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a detector; whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for nonscientific activities; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,
The apparatus described as 'ATL - Duplex System, model Mark V', which is the subject of an application by the Netherlands of 25 January 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Islamic Republic of Mauritania on fishing off the coast of Mauritania (1), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas negotiations have been held between the Community and the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, in accordance with the second paragraph of Article 13 of the abovementioned Agreement, to determine the additions to be introduced into the Annex to the Agreement and into the Protocol for the period 15 November 1995 to 31 July 1996;
Whereas, as a result of these negotiations, a Supplement to the Protocol in force was initialled on 11 November 1995;
Whereas, under that Supplement to the Protocol, Community fishermen have additional fishing rights in the waters under the sovereignty or jurisdiction of Mauritania;
Whereas, in order to permit these fishing activities by Community vessels, it is essential that the Supplement to the Protocol be approved as soon as possible; whereas, for this reason, the two Parties initialled an Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters providing for the provisional application of the Supplement to the Protocol from 15 November 1995; whereas this Agreement should be approved subject to a final decision under Article 43 of the Treaty;
Whereas these fishing opportunities should be allocated to Member States in accordance with Article 8 (4) (iii) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 of 20 December 1992 establishing a Community system for fisheries and aquaculture (2); whereas, in view of the loss of fishing opportunities in Moroccan waters, it is equitable to allot all the fishing opportunities to vessels flying the Spanish flag,
The Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters concerning the provisional application of the Supplement to the Protocol setting out the fishing opportunities and financial contribution provided for in the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Islamic Republic of Mauritania on fishing off the coast of Mauritania, for the period 15 November 1995 to 31 July 1996, is hereby approved on behalf of the Community.
The texts of the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters and of the Supplement to the Protocol are attached to this Decision.
The fishing opportunities set out in the Supplement to the Protocol shall be granted to vessels flying the Spanish flag.
Should applications for licences from Spain not exhaust the fishing opportunities set out in the Supplement to the Protocol, the Commission shall make it possible for the other Member States to make applications.
The President of the Council is hereby authorized to designate the persons empowered to sign the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters in order to bind the Community. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 395/97 of 20 December 1996 allocating, for 1997, Community catch quotas in Greenland waters (3), provides for Greenland halibut quotas for 1997;

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 213 thereof,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular Article 187 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas, for the sake of clarity, on the occasion of new amendments, it is necessary to reformulate Council Regulation (EEC) No 1056/72 of 18 May 1972 on notifying the Commission of investment projects of interest to the Community in the petroleum, natural gas and electricity sectors (4);
Whereas the introduction of a common energy policy is one of the objectives which the Community has set itself; whereas it is the task of the Commission to propose the measures to be taken for this purpose;
Whereas the information gathered pursuant to the said Regulation is necessary for the Commission's ongoing activities and whereas these data are the Commission's only official source of information on developments in production, processing and transmission capacity in the electricity, petroleum and natural gas sectors;
Whereas, after studying the communication made to it by the Commission on 18 December 1968 on initial guidelines for a Community energy policy, the Council, during its 88th meeting held on 13 November 1969:
- approved the basic principles of that communication in the light of the report from the Permanent Representatives Committee,
- requested the Commission to put before it as soon as possible the most urgent concrete proposals in this field,
- agreed to study these proposals as soon as possible in order to establish a Community energy policy;
Whereas obtaining an overall picture of the development of investments in the Community is one feature of such a policy, in particular in order to enable the Community to make the necessary comparisons;
Whereas the accomplishment of that task requires the most accurate information possible on investments; whereas, with regard to coal and atomic energy, undertakings are under an obligation, pursuant to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community and the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, to notify their investment projects; whereas it is desirable to supplement such information with particulars relating to petroleum, natural gas and electricity; whereas, to this end, the Commission should be informed of investment projects which are of interest to the Community in the sectors concerned;
Whereas, so that the Commission may carry out its task, it should also be informed in good time of any fundamental alteration in such projects, in particular as regards the period required for carrying them out and the planned capacity; whereas, as a result, communication of such particulars is similarly indispensable;
Whereas Member States should for this purpose communicate to the Commission, with any comments they may have, particulars of investment projects concerning production, storage and distribution of petroleum, natural gas or electric power planned in their territory; whereas to this end the persons and undertakings concerned must be under an obligation to communicate to the Member State the information in question;
Whereas some Member States have no need to maintain this obligation on the persons and undertakings concerned in order to ascertain the investment projects which must subsequently be notified to the Commission;
Whereas, because of the technical, financial, industrial and social aspects of investment projects in the electricity sector, there is a growing tendency to formulate such projects at least five years before the expected commencement of work;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to ensure that the Commission is notified of investment projects in the electricity sector on which work is expected to commence within five years of 1 January of the current year;
Whereas, in the case of petroleum refining, investment in desulphurization plants for residues, gas oil, feedstock or other petroleum products is of increasing importance in view of the strict quality standards to be adopted within the Community in order to control pollution;
Whereas Article 41 and 42 of the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community provide that the Commission must receive notification of any kind of nuclear investment project not later than three months before the first contracts are concluded with the suppliers or three months before the works begins; whereas this means that in fact notification of projects is given when they are at a very advanced stage and then only at the initiative of and on the date chosen by the person or undertaking making the investment;
Whereas, in order to assist manufacturing industry in undertaking the investment and adjustments necessary for the supply of heavy plant under the investment programmes relating to electric power supplies, the Commission must be informed of the projects involved in these programmes sufficiently far in advance of their implementation to be able to provide industry with information - the exact form varying according to the degree of final commitment reached with regard to the construction plans - which will enable an accurate assessment to be made of the technical, financial and social risks involved;
Whereas, in the electricity and natural gas sectors, investment projects relating respectively to underground and submarine transmission cables and gas pipelines, which constitute essential links in national or international interconnecting networks as well as in the trans-European networks, are of interest to the Community; whereas the Commission needs information on such projects to enable it to carry out its task in the electricity and natural gas sectors; whereas provision should be made to ensure that such projects are communicated to the Commission;
Whereas experience has shown that the dates of 15 February and 15 January leave the persons and undertakings concerned and the Member States insufficient time to collect the information necessary;
Whereas it is desirable to enable the Commission to prescribe, where appropriate, certain practical details, such as the form and content of the notifications to be made;
Whereas experience has shown that some of the data collected impose administrative constraints which go further than necessary, in relation to the advantages which can be expected; whereas it is necessary to reduce and change the data collected;
Whereas observance of the obligations provided for in this Regulation and the confidential nature of the information collected should be ensured,
1. Member States shall, before 15 April of each year, communicate to the Commission the information they have obtained on the basis of the provisions of paragraph 2 concerning investment projects listed in the Annex which relate to the production, transport, storage and distribution of petroleum, natural gas or electric power and on which work is scheduled to start within three years, in the case of projects in the petroleum and natural gas sectors, or within five years, in the case of projects in the electricity sector; such communication must take account of the latest developments in the situation.
Member States shall add to their communications any comments they may have.
2. In order to fulfil the obligation laid down in paragraph 1, the persons and undertakings concerned shall, before 15 March of each year, communicate details of investment projects referred to in paragraph 1 to the Member States in whose territory they are planning to carry them out. However, this provision shall not apply where the Member State concerned decides to use other means of supplying the Commission with information on the investment projects referred to in paragraph 1.
3. The communication provided for in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall, moreover, indicate the volume of capacities in commission or under construction or which are scheduled to be taken out of commission within three years.
4. When calculating capacities or dimensions mentioned in the Annex, the Member States, persons or undertakings concerned shall take into account all parts of a project, insofar as together they constitute a technically indivisible whole, even where the project is carried out in several successive stages.
5. The communication provided for in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall also cover investment projects of which the major features (location, contractor, undertaking, technical features, etc.) may, in whole or in part, be subject to further review or to final authorization by a competent authority.
1. With regard to investment projects planned or in progress, any communication as referred to in Article 1 shall indicate the following:
- the precise purpose and nature of such investments,
- the planned capacity or power,
- the probable date of commissioning,
- the type of raw materials used.
As regards any proposed withdrawal from service, communications shall indicate the following:
- the character and the capacity or power of the installations concerned,
- the probable date when the installations will be withdrawn from service.
2. Within the limits laid down by this Regulation and the Annex thereto, the Commission is authorized to adopt implementing provisions concerning the form, content and other details of the communications provided for in Article 1.
The Commission shall place before the Council a summary of the information obtained pursuant to this Regulation.
Information forwarded pursuant to this Regulation shall be treated as confidential. This provision shall not prevent the publication of general information or of summaries not containing particulars concerning individual undertakings.
Member States shall take appropriate measures to ensure observance of the obligations arising under Articles 1 (2) and 4.
At the end of a period of five years, the Commission shall submit to the Council a report on the implementation of this Regulation and how it has contributed to the objectives pursued. The report shall be accompanied by the requisite proposals.
Regulation (EEC) No 1056/72 is hereby repealed.

| COMMISSION DECISION of 14 July 1995 suspending the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed on imports of certain types of electronic microcircuits known as EPROMs (erasable programmable read only memories) originating in Japan (95/272/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3283/94 of 22 December 1994 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), and in particular Article 14 (4) thereof,
After consultation with the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
(1) The Council, by Regulation (EEC) No 577/91 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2860/93 (3) imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports into the Community of certain types of electronic microcircuits known as EPROMs (erasable programmable read only memories) originating in Japan, and falling under CN codes:
- 8542 11 33, 8542 11 34, 8542 11 35 or 8542 11 36 for finished UV erasable EPROMs,
- ex 8542 11 38 for finished Flash E2PROMs,
- ex 8542 11 76 for OTPs,
- ex 8542 11 01 for wafers for all types of EPROMs and - ex 8542 11 05 for dice and chips for all types of EPROMs.
(2) The basic anti-dumping Regulation, i.e. Council Regulation (EC) No 3283/94 at Article 14 (4) provides for the suspension of anti-dumping measures imposed on the grounds that market conditions have temporarily changed to an extent that injury would be unlikely to resume as a result of such a suspension. Article 14 (4) further specifies that the anti-dumping measures concerned may be reinstated at any time if the reason for suspension is no longer applicable.
(3) As in the case of another type of electronic microcircuit, i.e. DRAMs (4), since the end of 1993 and the beginning of 1994, due to a strong and growing demand for EPROMs , in particular by telecommunication equipment manufacturers, prices of EPROMs, on a world-wide basis, have remained stable.
With respect to the Community market in particular, the Commission has been able to follow developments as almost all known Japanese EPROM producers supply the Commission on a regular basis with their detailed sales reports pursuant to undertakings which the Commission has accepted in the framework of the abovementioned anti-dumping proceeding (5). An analysis of these reports has confirmed that the market behaviour of the exporters concerned is in line with the general evaluation of price developments made by market research companies, some of which monitor the semiconductor market particularly closely.
(4) With regard to the situation of the Community EPROM industry, the Commission has furthermore received information confirming that this industry has also benefited from the current market situation. Indeed, following the stabilization of the situation of the Community industry concurrently with the introduction of the above anti-dumping measures and following the substantial investments made for the production of the newest generations of EPROMs the Community industry's revenues stemming from an increase in EPROM sales volumes and in EPROM prices have had the effect that the Community industry is no longer suffering financial losses on current sales, but rather generating increased returns.
(5) The anti-dumping duty was imposed in order to underpin the undertakings and in order to ensure that imports of any EPROMs outside the scope of the undertakings would not be made at an injurious price level. The present market situation is one of strong demand, where market forces are sustaining a level of prices for EPROMs which is at or above the prices at which the above companies have undertaken to sell in the Community. It appears therefore that the absence of injurious dumping of EPROMs on the Community market at present is not dependent on the maintenance of the anti-dumping measures. Whilst the minimum prices applicable pursuant to the undertakings have been overtaken by market prices, the continued existence of the ad valorem anti-dumping duty constitutes an unnecessary barrier to entry to the Community market for EPROMs not covered by an undertaking.
(6) However, based on previous experience gained in the EPROM-market, it appears reasonable to conclude that this development in prices may well be temporary. Indeed, the EPROM-market is a cyclical market characterised by sharp up and downturns in prices. The likelihood that current market conditions are a temporary phenomenon leads to the conclusion that this situation should be dealt with by a temporary suspension of the anti-dumping duty.
(7) In conclusion, the Commission considers that all requirements to suspend the anti-dumping duty concerned pursuant to Article 14 (4) are met and that therefore this duty should be suspended for a period of nine months. This conclusion has been reached on the basis of:
- reliable sales information collected in the course of the anti-dumping proceeding concerned, reflecting market prices in the Community,
- the overall situation of the world EPROM market which, given the extensive market research data available, is inherently transparent, and - experience of the cyclical nature of this industry.
(8) The Commission will continue to closely monitor the development of the EPROM market and the behaviour of individual market participants, in particular with respect to the newest generation of EPROMs. Should a situation arise in which a resumption of injury to the Community industry occurs, the Commission will reinstate the above anti-dumping measures without delay.
(9) To this end, the obligation to submit reports on sales and prices pursuant to the undertakings will enable the Commission to monitor the EPROM market. However, the Commission considers that, during the period of the suspension of the anti-dumping duty, the obligation to adhere to the minimum price provisions of these undertakings should be discontinued. The quarterly calculation and communication of such prices to these companies by the Commission will therefore be discontinued during this period.
(10) In accordance with the provisions of Article 14 (4) of the basic Regulation the Commission has informed the complainant of its intention to suspend the above anti-dumping measures and has provided it with an opportunity to comment. These comments have been taken into account reaching the present decision.
(11) The Advisory Committee was consulted on the suspension of the anti-dumping measures and raised no objections,
The definitive anti-dumping duty imposed on imports of certain types of electronic microcircuits known as EPROMs (erasable programmable read only memories) originating in Japan by Council Regulation (EEC) No 577/91 is hereby suspended for a period of nine months.
This Decision shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

DIRECTIVE 2009/21/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 23 April 2009
on compliance with flag State requirements
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 80(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions (2),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (3),
Whereas:
(1) The safety of Community shipping and of citizens using it and the protection of the environment should be ensured at all times.
(2) In respect of international shipping a comprehensive framework enhancing maritime safety and the protection of the environment with regard to pollution from ships has been set up through the adoption of a number of conventions for which the International Maritime Organisation (hereinafter the IMO) is the depository.
(3) Under the provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, 1982 (UNCLOS) and of the conventions for which IMO is the depository (hereinafter the IMO Conventions), the States which are party to those instruments are responsible for promulgating laws and regulations and for taking all other steps which may be necessary to give those instruments full and complete effect so as to ensure that, from the point of view of safety of life at sea and protection of the marine environment, a ship is fit for the service for which it is intended and is manned with competent maritime personnel.
(4) Due account has to be taken of the Maritime Labour Convention, adopted by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) in 2006, which also addresses flag State-related obligations.
(5) On 9 October 2008, the Member States adopted a statement in which they unanimously recognised the importance of the application of the international conventions related to flag States obligations in order to improve maritime safety and to contribute to preventing pollution by ships.
(6) Implementation of the procedures recommended by the IMO in MSC/Circ.1140/MEPC/Circ.424 of 20 December 2004 on the transfer of ships between States should strengthen the provisions of the IMO Conventions and Community maritime safety legislation relating to a change of flag and should increase transparency in the relationship between flag States, in the interests of maritime safety.
(7) The availability of information on ships flying the flag of a Member State, as well as on ships which have left a register of a Member State, should improve the transparency of the performance of a high-quality fleet and contribute to better monitoring of flag State obligations and to ensuring a level playing field between administrations.
(8) In order to help Member States in further improving their performance as flag States, they should have their administration audited on a regular basis.
(9) A quality certification of administrative procedures in accordance with the standards of the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) or equivalent standards should further ensure a level playing field between administrations.
(10) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Directive 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 (4).
(11) Since the objectives of this Directive, namely the introduction and implementation of appropriate measures in the field of maritime transport policy, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore, by reason of its scale and effects, be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives,
Subject matter

(e) ‘IMO audit’ means an audit conducted in accordance with the provisions of Resolution A.974(24) adopted by the IMO Assembly on 1 December 2005.
Conditions for allowing a ship to operate upon granting the right to fly the flag of a Member State
1. Prior to allowing a ship to operate, which has been granted the right to fly its flag, the Member State concerned shall take the measures it deems appropriate to ensure that the ship in question complies with the applicable international rules and regulations. In particular, it shall verify the safety records of the ship by all reasonable means. It shall, if necessary, consult with the losing flag State in order to establish whether any outstanding deficiencies or safety issues identified by the latter remain unresolved.
2. Whenever another flag State requests information concerning a ship which was previously flying the flag of a Member State, that Member State shall promptly provide details of outstanding deficiencies and any other relevant safety-related information to the requesting flag State.

(2) Article 15(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides that, after consultation with the partners referred to in Article 8 of the Regulation, the Member State may submit to the Commission a development plan which is treated as a draft Single Programming Document, and which contains the information referred to in Article 16 of the Regulation.
(3) Under Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, on the basis of the regional development plan submitted by the Member State and within the partnership established in accordance with Article 8 of that Regulation, the Commission is to take a decision on the Single Programming Document, in agreement with the Member State concerned and in accordance with the procedures laid down in Articles 48 to 51.
(4) The Italian Government submitted to the Commission on 27 November 2000 an acceptable draft Single Programming Document for the Autonomous Region of Valle d'Aosta fulfilling the conditions for Objective 2 pursuant to Article 4(1) and qualifying for transitional support under Objectives 2 and 5(b) pursuant to Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. The plan includes the information listed in Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, in particular a description of the priorities selected and an indication of the financial contribution from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the other financial instruments proposed for implementing the plan.

(9) The financial contribution from the Community available over the entire period and its year-by-year breakdown are expressed in euro. The annual breakdown should be consistent with the relevant financial perspective. Under Article 7(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Community contribution has already been indexed at a rate of 2 % per year. Under Article 7(7) and Article 44(2) of the Regulation, the Community contribution may be reviewed at mid-term, and not later than 31 March 2004, to take account of the effective level of inflation and the allocation of the performance reserve.
(10) Provision should be made for adapting the financial allocations of the priorities of this Single Programming Document within certain limits to actual requirements reflected by the pattern of implementation on the ground, in agreement with the Member State concerned,
The Single Programming Document for Community structural assistance in the Autonomous Region of Valle d'Aosta in Italy eligible under Objective 2 and qualifying for transitional support under Objectives 2 and 5(b) for the period 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2006 is hereby approved.
1. In accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Single Programming Document includes the following elements:
(a) the strategy and priorities for the joint action of the Structural Funds and the Member State; their specific quantified targets; the ex ante evaluation of the expected impact, including on the environmental situation, and the consistency of the priorities with the economic, social and regional policies and the employment strategy of Italy. The sole priority is the improvement and diversification of the productive fabric, plus technical assistance;
(b) a summary description of the measures planned to implement the priorities, including the information needed to check compliance with the State aid rules under Article 87 of the Treaty;
(c) the indicative financing plan specifying for each priority and each year the financial allocation envisaged for the contribution from each Fund, where relevant from the EIB, and from the other financial instruments, including, for information, the total amount from the EAGGF Guarantee Section and showing separately the amounts for the areas qualifying for transitional support under Objectives 2 and 5(b) and the total amounts of eligible public or equivalent expenditure and estimated private funding in the Member State. The total contribution from the Funds planned for each year for the Single Programming Document is consistent with the relevant financial perspective;
(d) the provisions for implementing the Single Programming Document including designation of the managing authority, a description of the arrangements for managing the Single Programming Document, a description of the systems for monitoring and evaluation, including the role of the Monitoring Committee and the arrangements for the participation of the partners in that Committee;
(e) the ex ante verification of compliance with additionality and information on the transparency of financial flows.
2. The indicative financing plan puts the total cost of the priorities selected for the joint action by the Community and the Member State at EUR 42983439 for the whole period and the financial contribution from the Structural Funds at EUR 16078574.
The resulting requirement for national resources of EUR 24060111 from the public sector and EUR 2844754 from the private sector can be partly met by Community loans from the European Investment Bank and other lending instruments.
1. The total assistance from the Structural Funds granted under the Single Programming Document amounts to EUR 16078574. The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds for the various priorities included in the Single Programming Document, is set out in the financing plan annexed to this Decision.
2. The total Community assistance available is as follows:
- ERDF: EUR 16078574.
3. During implementation of the financing plan, the total cost or Community financing of a given priority may be adjusted in agreement with the Member State by up to 25 % of the total Community contribution to the Single Programming Document throughout the programme period, or by up to EUR 30 million, without altering the total Community contribution referred to in paragraph 1.
This Decision is without prejudice to the Commission's position on aid schemes falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty that are included in this assistance and which it has not yet approved. Submission of the application for assistance, the programme complement or a request for payment by the Member State does not replace the notification required by Article 88(3) of the Treaty.
Community financing of State aid falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, requires prior approval by the Commission under Article 88 of the Treaty, except where the aid falls under the de minimis rule or is exempted under an exemption regulation adopted by the Commission under Council Regulation (EC) No 994/98 on the application of Articles 87 and 88 to certain categories of horizontal State aid(2). In the absence of such exemption or approval, aid is illegal and subject to the consequences set out in the procedural regulation for State aid, and its part-financing would be treated as an irregularity within the meaning of Articles 38 and 39 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.
Consequently, the Commission will not accept requests for interim and final payments under Article 32 of the Regulation for measures being part-financed with new or altered aid, as defined in the procedural regulation for State aid, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, until such aid has been notified to and formally approved by the Commission.
The date from which expenditure shall be eligible is 27 November 2000. The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure shall be 31 December 2008. This date is extended to 30 April 2009 for expenditure incurred by bodies granting assistance under Article 9(l) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure in the areas receiving transitional support shall be 31 December 2007.

| COMMISSION DECISION of 1 August 1997 concerning certain protective measures with regard to certain fishery products originating in India (Text with EEA relevance) (97/515/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/675/EEC of 10 December 1990 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (1), as last amended by Directive 96/43/EC (2), and in particular Article 19 thereof,
Whereas Community inspections in India have shown that there are serious deficiencies with regard to infrastructure and hygiene in fishery establishments and that there are not enough guarantees of the efficiency of the controls carried out by the competent authorities; whereas there is a potentially high risk for public health with regard to the production and processing of fishery products in this country;
Whereas the results of checks at the Community border inspection posts on fishery products imported from India have indicated that these products may be contaminated by micro-organisms which may constitute a hazard to human health;
Whereas the Commission has already adopted Decision 97/334/EC on 28 May 1997 concerning certain protective measures with regard to certain fishery products originating in India (3);
Whereas imports of fishery products from India must therefore not be further allowed;
Whereas this Decision will be reviewed before 30 November 1997;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in conformity with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
This Decision shall apply to fishery products originating in India.
Member States shall prohibit imports of fishery products originating in India.
However, consignments which left India prior to the entry into force of this Decision, and which are presented at the Community inspection post for importation before 15 August 1997, shall be submitted to a sampling programme representative of the consignment. These samples must be examined for the presence of harmful micro-organisms, and in particular Salmonellae and Vibrio cholerae and parahaemoliticus.
This Decision will be reviewed before 30 November 1997.
Commission Decision 97/334/EC is repealed.
The Member States shall modify the measures they apply in trade in order to bring them into line with this Decision. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
