THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 17 of 6 February 1962, First Regulation implementing Articles 85 and 86 of the Treaty (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Having regard to the notification and application for negative clearance submitted on 11 April 1975 relating to the articles of association and the rules and regulations of the GAFTA Soya Bean Meal Futures Association Limited,
Having regard to the summary of the notification published (2) pursuant to Article 19 (3) of Regulation No 17,
After consulting the Advisory Committee on Restrictive Practices and Dominant Positions,
Whereas:
I. FACTS
(1) The GAFTA (3) Soya Bean Meal Futures Association Limited (SOMFA) is one of many commodity markets established in London. The commodity markets are self-regulatory organizations run by committees of management selected by members from amongst themselves, aided by secretariats and using powers given to them by their members in market rule books. Although the markets are self-regulating, there is an element of supervision by the Bank of England and, increasingly, supervision of the members by the Association of Futures Brokers and Dealers Limited (AFBD).
(2) The object of SOMFA is to set up and to administer a terminal market in London for soya bean meal. A terminal market, or a futures market, provides organized facilities for concluding contracts for the purchase and sale of a commodity to be delivered at named future dates. Futures markets have been developed primarily to enable persons involved in commodity trading to protect themselves from the risks of adverse price movements.
(3) SOMFA provides a market floor for trading and price-making, determines various technical questions such as allowable delivery months and standard contract terms and procures the provision of clearing and settlement facilities. Trading is done on the floor of the market where dealers face each other in a ring, making bids and offers through the system known as 'open outcry'.
(4) The International Futures Markets in London are among the principal markets used in international commodity merchandising, and they contribute to the stability and smooth operation of world trade and to world pricing mechanisms. The relative size of SOMFA compared with its most important competitors is shown below:
Annual volumes of trade (tonnes traded) in soya bean meal
1982 to 1985
1.2.3.4.5 // // // // // // Year // London // Chicago (100 tonnes) // Hong Kong (30 tonnes) // Mid-America (20 tonnes) // // // // // // 1982 // 3 842 500 // // // // 1983 // 4 466 100 // // // // 1984 // 2 493 760 // 3 822 179 // 340 545 // 10 981 // 1985 // 2 078 500 // 3 339 268 // 372 352 // // // // // //
N.B: Data for London include the 20 tonnes soya bean meal contract which commenced trading on 8 May 1984 (the current contract); the 100 tonnes, sterling soya bean meal contract traded up to 31 December 1984; and the 100 tonnes US Dollar soya bean meal contract traded from 1 July 1983 to 22 August 1984.
(5) The contract currently traded on the soya bean meal market is for 20 tonnes, or multiples of 20 tonnes, of soya bean meal/pellets of a quality defined in detail in Rule 13.05 of SOMFA's rules. The contract is for delivery of each 20 tonnes in one of the stores approved by SOMFA in either the Federal Republic of Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands or the United Kingdom at the seller's option. Quotations are for one year ahead and the months for trading are December, February, April, June, August and October.
(6) All contracts traded on SOMFA must be registered with the International Commodities Clearing House Limited (ICCH), an independent service company, which provides clearing and settlement facilities for SOMFA. ICCH has substantial capital and reserves, and is wholly owned by six clearing banks. The principal functions of ICCH are to maintain and organize a 'daily clearing' of all trades and provide a guarantee for due fulfilment of contracts, in accordance with the rules of SOMFA, to clearing members in whose names such contracts are registered.
(7) There are three classes of membership of SOMFA. The first class is of voting members known as floor members. Floor members are allowed to trade on the floor of the market. The rules set no limit to the number of floor members. The second two classes of non-voting or associate members consist of trade associate members and general associate members. Their number is similarly not limited. Non-voting members have to pass all contracts through a floor member.
(8) The criteria specified in the Articles for floor members require an applicant for membership to meet certain financial requirements. A detailed statement of the criteria in force at the time of application may be obtained from the Secretary. To become a floor member the applicant must satisfy the Committee that it is carrying on business from a properly-established office in London, and that it is actively interested in the trading of soya bean meal. Firms and companies whose principal place of business is not within the member countries of the EEC are not eligible for floor membership.
(9) All floor members must be members of the ICCH and must register their contracts with the ICCH which, in return for its fee, guarantees the performance of the contracts.
(10) Trade associate members are companies or firms which have a continuing interest in the production, trading or consumption of physical soya bean meal. General associate members consist of companies or firms which have a continuing trading interest in the soya bean meal futures market.
(11) Floor membership may be transferred provided that the transferee is elected in accordance with the Articles. Associate membership may also be transferred in accordance with SOMFA's rules.
(12) The Committee is now required to give reasons when it takes decisions affecting the members' rights of membership. An appeal procedure applies if the Committee refuses an application for membership, refuses to grant permission for a transfer of membership, or refuses to approve a change in the directorship, partnership, nature of business, legal status or beneficial ownership of a member. The procedure also applies if the Committee suspends a member for more than seven days, or refuses to reinstate a member, or expels a member or otherwise determines that a membership shall cease. In these cases, if the candidate or member is dissatisfied with the Committee's decision, that candidate or member may ask the Committee to reconsider its decision, making such representations and supplying such information as it considers relevant.
(13) The rules require that a member must generally be a member of the Association of Futures Brokers and Dealers Limited (AFBD). However, this requirement is not mandatory for all members. A member is excused from this obligation if he is (a) not a floor member and has no place of business in the UK, or (b) engages in business exclusively on his own account or on behalf of a related company, or (c) falls within a category of member which is excused membership of the AFBD by the AFBD itself. The AFBD is one of seven self-regulatory organizations (SROs) which it is expected will be recognized by the Securities and Investments Board (SIB), which was set up in anticipation of the Financial Services Act which stipulates that the only persons allowed to carry on investment business in the UK are 'authorized persons' or certain 'exempted persons'. Members of the SOMFA will be so authorized by virtue of being members of the AFBD. In order to become a member of the AFBD applicants have to fulfil certain qualitative criteria which reflect the AFBD's primary object, i.e. to promote and maintain a system of supervision of the conduct of business by commodity, financial and other futures brokers and dealers, particularly with a view to the protection of the interests of their clients. These criteria relate to the suitability of members' financial and business standing, and eligibility in other respects such as reliability, training, experience and financial resources.
(14) The rules provide that 'a' commission must be charged by every member on every transaction effected for another party (whether or not that other party is a member), but the rates of commission are freely negotiable. Where a member adopts a different position in two adjacent trading months ('a straddle') these may be executed for one commission provided that both positions are closed simultaneously.
II. LEGAL ASSESSMENT
(15) The notified rules and regulations of SOMFA are to be considered as agreements within the meaning of Article 85 of the EEC Treaty.
(16) The articles, rules and regulations of the SOMFA were drawn up taking into account the representations by the Commission in relation to various other terminal markets in London. The Commission has already granted negative clearance in respect of the rules of these associations by Decisions 85/563/EEC (1) (sugar), 85/564/EEC (2) (cocoa), 85/565/EEC (3) (coffee) and 85/566/EEC (4) (rubber).
(17) The rules and regulations as originally notified specified the minimum net rates of commission which could be charged by a member. The rules specified rates of commission which varied according to who was paying and who was receiving the commission, and whether or not the contract was registered in the client's own name. The rates were cheaper if the contract was registered in the client's own name with the ICCH. They were also lower where the payer was a full member than where the payer was an associate member. The highest rate of commission applied where the payer was a non-member.
(18) The rules specified that the rates of commission were the minimum net rates which could be charged by members, and that no portion of this commission could be returned by a member to his client or agent in any shape or form, whether directly or indirectly. The Committee was given powers to examine suspected infringements and had the power to suspend or expel offending members.
(19) The Commission considered this system of specified minimum commission rates to be a form of price-fixing and that it violated Article 85 (1) of the EEC Treaty. SOMFA was requested to abandon the system of fixed minimum rates. The system has now been completely abolished and references to the system in the rules and regulations have been deleted. The rules now provide that 'a' commission must be charged by every member on every transaction effected for another party (whether or not that other party is a member) but the rates of commission are freely negotiable. The Commission believes that this obligation is not appreciably restrictive of competition because it only entails the obligation to charge 'a' commission, without any reference to the commission which is to be charged. It follows that complete freedom exists to negotiate the actual commission rates.
(20) Furthermore, as a result of the representations by the Commission, amendments have been made to the rules concerning membership so that membership is now open, and the criteria by which applications for membership are judged are objective (see Facts, paragraph 8 above). The Committee is now required to give reasons when it takes decisions affecting the members' rights of membership. To protect the rights of actual or potential members an appeal procedure has been introduced.
(21) The publications in the Official Journal of the European Communities, pursuant to Article 19 (3) of Regulation No 17, did not elicit any representations.
(22) The articles of association and the rules and regulations of SOMFA as outlined above do not contain any clauses which constitute appreciable restrictions on competition within the common market. Therefore the Commission, on the basis of the facts in its possession, has no grounds for action under Article 85 (1). Consequently, the Commission is able to issue a negative clearance pursuant to Article 2 of Regulation No 17,
On the basis of the facts in its possession the Commission has no grounds for action under Article 85 (1) of the EEC Treaty in respect of the articles of association and rules and regulations of the GAFTA Soya Bean Meal Futures Association as notified on 11 April 1975.
This Decision is addressed to The GAFTA Soya Bean Meal Futures Association Limited, whose registered office is at Baltic Exchange Chambers, 24/28 St Mary Axe, London EC 3 A 8EP, United Kingdom. | 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 1765/92 of 30 June 1992 establishing a support system for producers of certain agricultural crops (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular Articles 12 and 16 thereof,
Whereas Article 11 (7) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 provides that those Member States in which there is a risk that the National Reference Area will be significantly exceeded may limit the area of land for which an individual producer may receive the crop-specific oilseed compensatory payment; whereas this limit should be established on the basis of objective criteria and expressed as a percentage of a producer's eligible arable area; whereas this limit may be differentiated between Regional Base Areas; whereas the limit should be notified to producers before a fixed date and before oilseed sowing commences; whereas if a producer should request the crop-specific compensatory payment for land in excess of this limit, such land should be excluded from his application; whereas the area of land for which the producer may receive set-aside compensation may have to be reduced as a consequence; whereas transitional measures should be introduced to cover cases where the notification of the limit to producers was made after the fixed date but before sowing commenced, and to cover cases where the limit has been expressed otherwise than as a percentage of the producer's total eligible arable area;
Whereas the provisions of this Regulation will affect oilseed crop sowings and set-aside made in respect of the 1995/96 marketing year; whereas the set-aside period in respect of the 1995/96 marketing year starts on 15 January 1995; whereas the provisions of this Regulation should apply before that date;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Joint Management Committee for Cereals, Oils and Fats and Dried Fodder,
1. The level of the limit provided for in Article 11 (7) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 shall be established taking into account the National Reference Area, the total area of eligible arable land and the objective of avoiding a level of plantings which would give rise to excessive reductions in the crop specific oilseed compensatory payments.
2. The limit and the criteria used to establish that limit shall be notified to the Commission at the earliest possible date and, at the latest, by 31 July of the marketing year prior to that in respect of which the compensatory payment is requested.
3. The competent authority shall, in considering a producer's eligibility to receive the advance payment referred to in Article 11 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92, determine whether the producer's application for support is within any limit established. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 2 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2294/92 (2), any land for which the producer has requested the crop specific oilseed compensatory payment in excess of the limit shall be excluded from the application.
4. In cases where the exclusion of an area of land, under paragraph 3, would cause a producer's area of set-aside to exceed the limit referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 7 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 which applies in the Member State, the area of set-aside land for which the producer has requested the compensatory payment shall be reduced accordingly.
5. Any land excluded from producers' area aid applications under paragraphs 3 and 4 shall not be taken into consideration for the application of Article 2 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92.
1. Notwithstanding Article 1 (1), for the 1995/96 marketing year, in cases where the competent authority has calculated the limit otherwise than as a percentage of the total eligible arable land of a region and has informed producers of this before 1 January 1995, the Member State is authorized to apply, in the region in question, the limit which it has calculated.
2. For the 1995/96 marketing year, in cases where the competent authority informed producers of the application of the limit on or after 1 August 1994 but before sowing of winter rapeseed took place, the Member State is authorized to apply such limit in the region in question, on the condition that the measures taken by that Member State were sufficient to prevent any producer having a legitimate expectation to receive crop-specific oilseeds compensation for an area greater than the limit established.
3. Notwithstanding Article 1 (2), for the 1995/96 marketing year, the necessary information shall be supplied to the Commission by 28 February 1995.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1111/2002(3) specifies the quantities which may be covered by applications submitted for export licences with advance fixing of the refund other than those applied for in connection with food aid.
(2) Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1429/95 lays down the conditions under which special measures may be taken by the Commission to prevent an overrun in the quantities for which export licence applications may be submitted.
(3) In view of the information available to the Commission as of today, the quantity of 301 tonnes of orange juice with a value of 55° Brix or more in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1111/2002, reduced or increased by the quantities referred to in Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1429/95, would be exceeded if licences were issued with advanced fixing of refunds without restriction in response to applications submitted since 4 July 2002. A reducing factor should accordingly be applied to the quantities applied for on 4 July 2002, and applications for export licences with advance fixing of refunds submitted subsequently with a view to such licences being issued during the current period should be rejected,
Export licences with advance fixing of the refund for orange juice with a value of 55° Brix or more for which applications were submitted on 4 July 2002 pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1111/2002 shall be issued for 100 % of the quantities applied for.

amending for the nineteenth time Council Directive 76/769/EEC relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations (azocolourants)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,
Having regard to the proposals from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(2),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty(3),
Whereas:
(1) Work on the internal market should gradually improve the quality of life, health protection and consumer safety. The measures provided for in this Directive ensure a high level of health and consumer protection.
(2) Textile and leather articles containing certain azodyes have the capacity to release certain arylamines, which may pose cancer risks.
(3) Limitations already adopted or planned by certain Member States on the use of azodyed textile and leather articles concern the completion and functioning of the internal market. It is therefore necessary to approximate the laws of the Member States in this field and, consequently, to amend Annex I to Council Directive 76/769/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations(4).
(4) The Scientific Committee on Toxicity, Ecotoxicity and the Environment (CSTEE), after being consulted by the Commission, has confirmed that cancer risks posed by textile and leather goods coloured by certain azodyes, give cause for concern.
(5) In order to protect human health, the use of dangerous azodyes and the placing on the market of some articles coloured with such dyes should be prohibited.
(6) For textile articles made of recycled fibres, a maximum concentration of 70 ppm for the amines listed in point 43 in the appendix to Directive 76/769/EEC should be applied. This should be the case for a transitional period until 1 January 2005 if the amines are released by the residues deriving from the previous dyeing of the same fibres. This will allow for the recycling of textiles, which has overall benefits for the environment.
(7) Harmonised testing methods are necessary for the application of this Directive. The Commission, in accordance with Article 2a of Directive 76/769/EEC, should establish such methods. The testing methods should preferably be developed at European level, if appropriate by the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN).

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1193/90 (2), and in particular Article 27 (1) thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 23 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, reference prices valid for the whole Community are to be fixed at the beginning of the marketing year;
Whereas artichokes are produced in such quantities in the Community that reference prices should be fixed for them;
Whereas artichokes harvested during a given crop year are marketed from October to September of the following year; whereas the quantities harvested in the months July to October are so small that there is no need to fix reference prices for these months; whereas reference prices should be fixed only for the period 1 November up to and including 30 June of the following year;
Whereas Article 23 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 stipulates that reference prices are to be fixed at the same level as for the preceding marketing year, adjusted, after deducting the standard cost of transporting Community products between production areas and Community consumption centres in the preceding year, by:
- the increase in production costs for fruit and vegetables, less productivity growth, and
- the standard rate of transport costs in the current marketing year;
Whereas the resulting figure may nevertheless not exceed the arithmetic mean of producer prices in each Member State plus transport costs for the current year, after this amount has been increased by the rise in production costs less productivity growth; whereas the reference price may, however, not be lower than in the preceding marketing year;
Whereas, to take seasonal price variations into account, the marketing year should be divided into several periods and a reference price fixed for each of these periods;
Whereas producer prices are to correspond to the average of the prices recorded on the representative market or markets situated in the production areas where prices are lowest, during the three years prior to the date on which the reference price is fixed, for a home-grown product with defined commercial characteristics, being a product or variety representing a substantial proportion of the production marketed over the year or over part thereof and satisfying specified requirements as regards market preparation; whereas, when the average of prices recorded on each representative market is being calculated, prices which could be considered excessively high or excessively low in relation to normal price fluctuations on that market are to be disregarded;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 784/90 of 29 March 1990 fixing the reducing coefficient for agricultural prices in the 1990/91 marketing year as a result of the monetary realignment of 5 January 1990 and amending the prices and amounts fixed in ecus for that marketing year (1) establishes the list of prices and amounts to which the coefficient 1,001712 is applied in the framework of the arrangements on the automatic dismantlement of negative monetary gaps; whereas the prices and amounts fixed in ecus by the Commission for the 1990/91 marketing year must take account of the resulting reduction; whereas this reducing coefficient shall apply to the prices referred to above; however, this adjustment cannot result in a lower level of the reference prices than the prices in force during the proceeding marketing year pursuant to Article 23 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 272 (3) of the Act of Accession, the prices of Portuguese products will not be used for the purpose of calculating reference prices, during the first stage of accession;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 284 of the Act of Accession, Portuguese prices shall be used for the purpose of calculating reference prices as from 1 January 1991;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
For the 1990/91 marketing year, the reference prices for artichokes (CN code 0709 10 00), expressed in ecus per 100 kilograms net of packed products of class I, of all sizes, shall be as follows:
- from 1 November to 31 December: 89,99,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3093/94 of 15 December 1994 on substances that deplete the ozone layer (1), and in particular Articles 3, 4 and 7 thereof,
Whereas, because of concerns for the ozone layer, the Community has already phased out the production and consumption of certain controlled substances;
Whereas essential uses have to be decided for chlorofluorocarbons (Articles 3(1) and 4(1)); other fully halogenated chlorofluorocarbons (Articles 3(2) and 4(2)); halons (Articles 3(3) and 4(3)); carbon tetrachloride (Articles 3(4) and 4(4)); 1,1,1-trichloroethane (Articles 3(5) and 4(5)); and HBFCs (Articles 3(7) and 4(7));
Whereas the criteria used for assessing essential uses are in line with Decision IV/25 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol and are as follows:
1. that a use of a controlled substance should qualify as 'essential` only if:
(a) it is necessary for the health, safety, or is critical for the functioning of society (encompassing cultural and intellectual aspects); and
(b) there are no technically and economically feasible alternatives or substitutes that are acceptable from the standpoint of environment and health;
2. that production and consumption, if any, of a controlled substance for essential uses should be permitted only if:
(a) all economically feasible steps have been taken to minimise the essential use and any associated emission of the controlled substance; and
(b) the controlled substance is not available in sufficient quantity and quality from existing stocks of banked or recycled controlled substances, also bearing in mind the needs of developing countries for controlled substances;
Whereas Decision IX/18 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol authorises the levels of production and consumption necessary to satisfy essential uses of controlled substances for metered dose inhalers (MDIs) for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD);
Whereas Decision IX/17 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol authorises the production and consumption necessary to satisfy essential uses of controlled substances for laboratory and analytical uses as listed in Annex IV to the report of the seventh meeting of the Parties, subject to the conditions set out in Annex II to the report of the sixth meeting of the Parties and in Decision VII/11;
Whereas the Commission has published a notice (2) to those companies in the European Community which use controlled substances that may be allowed for essential uses in the Community in 1999 pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 3093/94, and has thereby received applications for quantities of controlled substances for essential uses in 1999;
Whereas, in the framework of the Montreal Protocol nomination and assessment procedures for essential uses, Parties are requested to identify the users who may take advantage of essential uses in 1999;
Whereas the Commission issues licenses to the users identified pursuant to Articles 3, 4 and 7 and in accordance with the procedure set out in Article 16 of Council Regulation (EC) No 3093/94;
Whereas, within this framework, a producer may be authorised by the competent authority of the Member State in which its relevant production is situated to produce the controlled substances for the purposes of meeting the licensed demands presented by the identified users; whereas the competent authority of the Member State concerned shall in turn notify the Commission well in advance of any such authorisation;
Whereas, pursuant to Decision IX/17 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol, overall quantitative limits may be set for essential laboratory and analytical uses of controlled substances in the European Community during 1999;
Whereas the list of essential uses and the quantities of the controlled substances are hereby given in Annex II as information for producer and user industries;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee referred to in Article 16 of Council Regulation (EC) No 3093/94,
Companies which may take advantage of the essential uses for their own account during 1999 for the manufacture of metered dose inhalers and for the coating of cardiovascular surgical material are listed in Annex I.
The total quantities of controlled substances permitted for essential uses during 1999 shall be as specified in Annex II.
Within the overall limits set out in Annex IIB, the Commission shall issue licenses to acquire controlled substances from producers in the Community or by import for essential laboratory and analytical uses.
1. This Decision is addressed to the companies listed in Annex I.

Whereas by Decision 95/458/EC (3) of 19 October 1995 the Commission approved the request for an exemption submitted by the Federal Republic of Germany pursuant to Article 8 (2) (c) of Directive 70/456/EEC concerning the production of a third stop lamp falling within category ECE S3 by virtue of ECE Regulation No 7 and the fitting thereof in accordance with ECE No 48, with a view to the granting of EC type approval;
Whereas the request for an extension of the exemption submitted by Germany on 7 May 1997 is justified by the fact that the measures needed to adapt the directives which were the subject of that exemption have not yet come into force and the exemption should therefore be extended until the entry into force of the adaptations to those directives and, in any case, for a maximum period of 24 months;
Whereas the measure provided for by this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Adaptation to Technical Progress set up by Directive 70/156/EEC,
The exemption granted to Germany by Commission Decision 95/458/EEC of 19 October 1995 is hereby extended until the entry into force of the adaptations to the directives concerned and, in any case, for a period not exceeding 24 months.

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 545/92 provides for the grant of tariff concessions for fresh sour cherries originating in the Republics referred to above within the limit of an annual ceiling of 3 000 tonnes; whereas, pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1039/92 (3), chilled cherries are to be classified under the same tariff heading as fresh cherries;
Whereas, in order to ensure that these provisions are properly applied, imports of fresh sour cherries originating in the Republics of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia and Slovenia and the Yugoslav Republics of Macedonia and Montenegro should be subject to a system of import licences; whereas the special rules governing that system should be laid down;
Whereas exceptions to certain provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 of 16 November 1988 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2050/91 (5), should be made to avoid exceeding the quantity fixed in Regulation (EEC) No 545/92;

| COUNCIL DECISION
of 11 July 1988
on special support for the development of agricultural statistics in Ireland
(88/390/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 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 it is necessary, for effective and balanced implementation of the common agricultural policy in Ireland, to have statistical information of satisfactory scope and reliability on agricultural holdings and mainly on farming activity undertaken on agricultural holdings in that State;
Whereas the implementation of an effective system for recording statistics which are mainly based on farm holdings in the agricultural sector in Ireland will be in the interest of the Community and will contribute to the attainment of the objectives defined in Article 39 (1) (a) of the Treaty;
Whereas, for technical and organizational reasons, fundamental and far-reaching changes to the system for the collection and processing of basic information relating to agricultural holdings should be made from 1988 to permit Ireland to meet, both from a qualitative and a quantitative point of view, the needs for statistical data required for the formulation and the follow-up of the common agricultural policy;
Whereas, on account of economic and budgetary constraints, Ireland does not have sufficient means to undertake the considerable development work necessary to introduce an effective and reliable new survey system;
Whereas a Community contribution towards financing the measures to be taken must be envisaged without, however, making expenditure chargeable to the Community budget which relates to administrative costs or personnel within the meaning of Article 1 (4) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2048/88 (5);
Whereas the three year programme (hereinafter called 'the programme') submitted by Ireland to meet Community requirements in the area of agricultural statistics involves overall expenditure of seven million ECU; whereas the Community contribution should not exceed half of that sum;
Whereas, while Ireland should retain responsibility for the management of the programme in the light of existing administrative structures, certain conditions should be laid down to guarantee optimum utilization of the Community's financial contribution;
Whereas the Community must be able to ensure that the measures taken by Ireland will help to attain the objectives of the joint action and will fulfil the conditions under which the Community financing is granted; whereas the Commission will take the measures required to review the programme;
Whereas a procedure should be laid down whereby the Member States and the Commission will cooperate closely in the Standing Committee for Agricultural Statistics,
In order to organize a system for compiling and processing statistics in the agricultural sector in Ireland which will fully satisfy Community requirements in this field, Ireland shall ensure:
(a) the strengthening of the central technical and administrative infrastructure responsible for organizing, programming and implementing the compiling and processing of agricultural statistical data;
(b) the strengthening of the local technical and administrative infrastructure so that the required surveys are carried out in such a manner as to guarantee their statistical validity;
(c) an improved basis for sampling by creating a register of agricultural holdings;
(d) the gradual introduction of a coherent programme of statistical surveys, conducted on the basis of samples at agricultural holding level.
Ireland shall ensure that, once the restructuring is completed, the organization of the system referred to in Article 1 guarantees the carrying out of existing or future relevant surveys at Community level and that these surveys fulfil the requirements of Community law as regards scope and purpose and the reliability and time limits prescribed, without any further financial aid being granted by the Community, other than the contribution provided for in this Decision, except in cases where Community contributions are also laid down for the other Member States.
1. The organization of the new system of surveys under Article 1 shall take the form of a programme which is to begin in 1988 and shall be spread over a period of three years (1988 to 1990). The new system shall apply in particular to work on agricultural statistics, involving surveys on agricultural holdings provided for in the statistical programmes of the European Communities.
2. The timetable for carrying out the programme is laid down in the Annex.
3. Ireland shall be entitled to submit amendments to the running of the programme. The Commission shall, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 7, decide whether such amendments shall be approved.
1. From 1988 to 1990 Ireland shall carry out the programme described in the Annex. Ireland shall submit, each year (year t), in the month of June of the years 1988, 1989, 1990 and 1991:
(a) a progress report on the work completed during year t-1 detailing particularly information on the progress made in the reinforcement of the technical and administrative machinery and on the experience gained from the implementation of the programme;
(b) the annual detailed programme to be carried out the next year (year t+1).
However, the annual detailed programme which will be applied in 1989 will be communicated at the latest three months following the date on which this Decision takes effect.
2. At the request of the Commission, Ireland shall supply additional information as necessary on the progress achieved in implementing the programme and on the annual programme.
3. The report on the progress of work and the annual programme shall be approved by the Commission in accordance with the procedure as laid down in Article 7.
The Commission shall take all the necessary steps to ensure that the running of the programme enables the objectives referred to in Article 1 to be attained.
1. The Community shall reimburse to Ireland 50 % of actual expenditure of the programme up to the amount of the appropriations entered for this purpose in the general budget of the European Communities. The amount considered necessary for the Community contribution shall be 3,5 million ECU for the programme as a whole.
2. Applications for reimbursement shall refer to the sums spent by Ireland during a calendar year and shall be presented to the Commission during the year which follows, together with the report on the progress of work as laid down in Article 4 (1).
1. Where the procedure laid down in this Article is to be followed, the matter shall be referred to the Standing Committee on Agricultural Statistics (hereinafter referred to as 'the Committee') by its chairman, either on his own initiative or at the request of the representative of a Member State.
2. The representative of the Commission shall submit to the Committee a draft of the measures to be taken. The Committee shall give its opinion on these measures within a time limit which may be set by the chairman in accordance with the urgency of the matters submitted for discussion. It shall act by a majority of 54 votes, the votes of the Member States being weighted as laid down in Article 148 (2) of the Treaty. The chairman shall not vote. 3. The Commission shall adopt the measures, which shall be immediately applicable. However, if they are not in accordance with the opinion of the Committee, the Commission shall submit them to the Council without delay. If this is done, the Commission may delay the application of the proposed measures by not more than one month after the date of submission.
The Council, acting by a qualified majority, may take a different decision within a period of one month.

Whereas, under Council Regulation (EEC) No 1323/90 of 14 May 1990 (9), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 363/93 (10), the Council instituted specific aid for sheep and goat farming in certain less-favoured areas of the Community; whereas it lays down that the aid is to be granted under the same conditions as those for the grant of the premium for producers of sheepmeat and goatmeat; whereas, as a result, provision should be made for the limits and the rates of payment laid down in Article 5 (7) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 to apply equally to this specific aid; Whereas, in view of the expected difficult market situation in certain Member States during the second half of 1994, the Member States should be authorized, for the 1994 marketing year, to pay immediately an amount equal to 90 % of the aid;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 provides for the application of specific measures relating to agricultural production in the Canary Islands; whereas those measures entail the grant of a supplement to the ewe premium to producers of light lambs and she-goats on the same conditions as those governing the grant of the premium referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89; whereas those conditions provide that Spain is authorized to pay an advance on the said supplementary premium;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats,
A difference is hereby estimated between the basic price, reduced by the impact of the coefficient laid down in Article 8 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89, and the foreseeable market price during 1994 is ECU 123,229 per 100 kg.
1. The estimated amount of the premium payable per ewe is as follows:
- producers of heavy lambs: ECU 19,717,
- producers of light lambs: ECU 15,774.
2. Pursuant to Article 5 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89, the first advance that the Member States are authorized to pay to producers shall be as follows:
- producers of heavy lambs: ECU 5,915 per lamb,
- producers of light lambs: ECU 4,732 per lamb.
1. The estimated amount of the premium payable per female of the caprine species in the areas designated in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 and in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1065/86: ECU 15,774.
2. Pursuant to Article 5 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89, the first advance which the Member States are authorized to pay to goatmeat producers located in the areas designated in paragraph 1 shall be as follows: ECU 4,732 per female of the caprine species.
The specific aid which the Member States are authorized to pay to producers of sheepmeat and goatmeat in less-favoured areas pursuant to Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1323/90, within the meaning of Council Directive 75/268/EEC (11) within the limits and at the rates provided for in Article 5 (7) and the second indent of the second subparagraph of Article 5 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 shall be as follows:
- ECU 4,95 per ewe in the case of the producers referred to in Article 5 (2) and (4) of the said Regulation,
- ECU 3,42 per ewe in the case of the producers referred to in Article 5 (3) of the said Regulation,

Whereas, by letter dated 15 December 1978, the United Kingdom Government requested the Commission to invoke the procedure laid down in Articles 4 and 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "Raytheon - mariner's pathfinder radar system", intended for use in radar simulator courses for Merchant Navy officers, 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 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 27 April 1979 within the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine this particular case;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a radar system which does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specially suited to scientific research ; whereas this apparatus constitutes a special application of an instrument with normal technical characteristics ; whereas moreover it is an apparatus in current use on board sea and river-going vessels as a navigation instrument ; 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,
The apparatus described as "Raytheon - mariner's pathfinder radar system" is not considered to be a scientific apparatus.

Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products in the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) The refunds must be fixed taking into account the factors referred to in Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down certain detailed rules under Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 on the granting of export refunds on cereals and the measures to be taken in the event of disturbance on the market for cereals(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 602/2001(4).

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2011 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (1), and in particular Article 5(1)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2011/65/EU prohibits the use of lead in electrical and electronic equipment placed on the market.
(2) Both the substitution of lead in dielectric ceramic in capacitors for a rated voltage of less than 125 V AC or 250 V DC used in industrial monitoring and control instruments (IMCIs) and the substitution of these components in IMCIs are still technically impracticable.
(3) Although the substitution of lead in low voltage ceramic capacitors is possible for other applications, the use of these lead-free components in IMCIs requires manufacturers to redesign their IMCIs or parts thereof, and requalify the new designs, in order to make them technically practicable and to demonstrate reliability. The use of lead in low voltage ceramic capacitors for industrial monitoring and control instruments should therefore be exempted from the prohibition until 31 December 2020. In view of the innovation cycles for IMCIs this is a relatively short transition period which is unlikely to have adverse impacts on innovation.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), and in particular Article 11 (4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE
(1) By Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 (2), the Council imposed, inter alia, a definitive anti-dumping duty of 7,2 % on imports of synthetic staple fibres of polyesters, not carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning, commonly referred to as synthetic fibres of polyester (hereinafter referred to as the 'product concerned` of 'PSF`), currently classifiable within CN code 5503 20 00 and originating in India, with the exception of imports from five Indian exporters specifically mentioned, which were subject either to a lesser rate of duty or to no duty at all.
B. PRESENT PROCEDURE
(2) In January 1996, the Commission received, from the Indian producer Viral Filaments Limited (hereinafter referred to as 'Viral` or the 'company`), an application for a review of the measures currently in force, i.e. a request to initiate a 'new exporter` review proceeding of Regulation (EEC) No 54/93, pursuant to Article 11 (4) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (hereinafter referred to as the 'Basic Regulation`). Viral claimed that it was not related to any of the exporters or producers in India subject to the anti-dumping measures in force with regard to the product concerned. Furthermore, it claimed that it did not export the product concerned during the period of investigation on which the current measures in force were based with regard to the determination of dumping, i.e. the period from 1 January to 31 August 1990 (hereinafter referred to as the 'original investigation period`). Finally, Viral also claimed that it had actually exported the product concerned to the Community and that it had also entered into irrevocable contractual obligations to export significant quantities of PSF to the Community.
(3) The Commission, after having verified the evidence submitted by the Indian exporter concerned, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a review in accordance with Article 11 (4) of the Basic Regulation, after consultation of the Advisory Committee and after the Community industry concerned had been given the opportunity to comment, initiated, by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1285/96 (3), a review of Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 with regard to Viral and commenced its investigation.
In the Regulation initiating the review, the Commission also repealed the anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 with regard to imports of the product concerned, produced and exported to the Community by Viral, and directed customs authorities, pursuant to Article 14 (5) of the Basic Regulation, to take appropriate steps to register such imports.
(4) The product covered by the present review is the same product as the one under consideration in Regulation (EEC) No 54/93.
(5) The Commission officially advised Viral and the representatives of the exporting country. Furthermore, it gave other parties directly concerned the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing. However, no such request has been received by the Commission.
The Commission sent a questionnaire to Viral and received a proper and timely reply.
The Commission sought and verify all information it deemed necessary for the purpose of the investigation.
(6) The investigation of dumping covered the period from 1 July 1995 to 30 June 1996.
(7) The same methodology as that used in the original investigation was applied in the present investigation where circumstances had not changed.
C. SCOPE OF THE REVIEW
(8) As no request for a review of the findings on injury was made in this investigation, this review is limited to dumping.
D. RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION
1. New exporter qualification
(9) The investigation confirmed that Viral had not exported the product concerned during the original investigation period. Production of PSF by Viral and export thereof to the Community started, in fact, only during the second half of 1995.
Furthermore, according to documentary evidence submitted, Viral satisfactorily demonstrated that it did not have any links, either direct or indirect, with any of Indian exporters subject to the anti-dumping measures in force with regard to the product concerned.
Accordingly, it is confirmed that Viral should be considered as a new exporter in accordance with Article 11 (4) of the Basic Regulation, and thus its individual dumping margin should be determined.
2. Dumping
A. Normal value
(10) In accordance with Article 2 (2) of the Basic Regulation, an examination was conducted to ascertain whether the volume of Viral's sales of PSF on the Indian domestic market in total reached at least 5 % of the volume of the Indian exports of the product concerned to the Community. It was established, based on the documentary evidence submitted in the company's questionnaire reply, that domestic sales of the like product achieved a level considerably in excess of the aforementioned 5 % threshold.
For each of the types of PSF sold on the domestic market and found to be identical or directly comparable to types sold for export to the Community, the Commission then established whether domestic sales per type were made in sufficient quantities.
Domestic sales of each type were considered to have been made in sufficient quantities within the meaning of Article 2 (2) of the Basic Regulation as the volume of each type of PSF sold in India during the investigation period represented 5 % or more of the quantity of the comparable type of PSF sold for export to the Community.
The Commission subsequently examined whether the domestic sales of each type of PSF exported to the Community could be considered to have been made in the ordinary course of trade.
Whether or not domestic sales were made in the ordinary course of trade was determined pursuant to Article 2 (4) of the Basic Regulation. Since, per product type, the weighted average selling price was equal to, or higher than, the weighted average unit cost and as the volume of sales below unit cost represented less than 20 % of the sales being used to determine normal value, all domestic sales were regarded as having been made in the ordinary course of trade.
In accordance with Article 2 (1) of the Basic Regulation, normal value was therefore based on the weighted average prices of all domestic sales of the corresponding product types exported to the Community.
B. Export price
(11) Export prices were established on the basis of the prices actually paid or payable for the product concerned when sold for export to the Community, in accordance with Article 2 (8) of the Basic Regulation.
C. Comparison
(12) In accordance with Article 2 (11) of the Basic Regulation, the weighted average normal value by product type was compared, on an ex-factory basis, to the weighted average export price at the same level of trade.
For the purpose of a fair comparison, due allowance in the form of adjustments was made for differences which were claimed and demonstrated to affect price comparability. These adjustments were made, in accordance with Article 2 (10) of the Basic Regulation, in respect of commissions, transport, insurance, handling and ancillary costs, credit costs, discounts and rebates.
D. Dumping margin
(13) The above comparison revealed that no dumping existed for exports to the Community of the product concerned made by Viral during the investigation period.
E. AMENDMENT OF THE MEASURES BEING REVIEWED
(14) Based on the findings of no dumping made during the investigation, it is considered that no anti-dumping measure should be imposed on imports into the Community of PSF, produced and exported by Viral. Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 should therefore be amended accordingly.
F. DISCLOSURE AND DURATION OF THE MEASURE
(15) Viral was informed of the facts and considerations on the basis of which it is intended to propose the amendment to Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 and was given the opportunity to comment. No comments were received.
(16) This review carried out does not affect the date on which Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 will expire pursuant to Article 11 (2) of the Basic Regulation,
The following shall be added at the end of Article 1 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 54/93:

of 12 July 2004
amending Regulation (EC) No 1600/1999 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of stainless steel wire with a diameter of 1 mm or more originating in India
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (the basic Regulation), and in particular Article 11(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2026/97 (2) of 6 October 1997 on protection against subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Community, and in particular Article 20 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURES
(1) The Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1600/1999 (3), imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of stainless steel wire having a diameter of 1 mm or more (the product concerned) falling within CN code ex 7223 00 19 originating in India. The measures took the form of an ad valorem duty ranging between 0 % and 55,6 %.
(2) The Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1599/1999 (4), imposed at the same time a definitive countervailing duty on imports of the same product originating in India. The measures took the form of an ad valorem duty ranging between 0 % and 35,4 % for individual exporters, with a rate of 48,8 % for non-cooperating exporters.
B. CURRENT PROCEDURE
1. Request for a new exporter review
(3) Subsequent to the imposition of definitive measures, the Commission received a request for the initiation of a ‘new exporter’ review of Regulation (EC) No 1600/1999, pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation, from one Indian producer, VSL Wires Limited (the applicant). The applicant claimed that it was not related to any other exporters of the product concerned in India. Furthermore, it claimed that it had not exported the product concerned during the original period of investigation (i.e. from l April 1997 to 31 March 1998), but had exported the product concerned to the Community after that period. On the basis of the above, it requested that an individual duty rate be established for it, in case dumping would be found.
2. Initiation of a review
(4) The Commission examined the evidence submitted by the applicant and considered it sufficient to justify the initiation of a review in accordance with the provisions of Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation. After consultation of the Advisory Committee and after the Community industry concerned had been given the opportunity to comment, the Commission initiated, by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1225/2003 (5), a ‘new exporter’ review of Regulation (EC) No 1600/1999 with regard to the applicant and commenced its investigation. At the same time, the anti-dumping duty in force was repealed with regard to imports of the product concerned produced and exported to the Community by the applicant, and those imports were made subject to registration pursuant to Articles 11(4) and 14(5) of the basic Regulation.
(5) At the same time and on the same grounds, following a request from the applicant, the Commission initiated an accelerated review of Regulation (EC) No 1599/1999 (6) pursuant to Article 20 of Regulation (EC) No 2026/97.
3. Product concerned
(6) The product covered by the current review is the same product as that under consideration in Regulation (EC) No 1600/1999, namely stainless steel wire having a diameter of 1 mm or more, containing by weight 2,5 % or more of nickel, excluding wire containing by weight 28 % or more but no more than 31 % of nickel and 20 % or more but no more than 22 % of chromium.
4. Investigation period
(7) The investigation covered the period from 1 April 2002 to 31 March 2003 (the review investigation period).
5. Parties concerned
(8) The Commission officially advised the applicant and the Government of India (GOI) of the initiation of the procedure. Furthermore, it gave other parties directly concerned the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing. However, no such views or any request for a hearing was received by the Commission.
(9) The Commission sent a questionnaire to the applicant and received a full reply within the required deadline. The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed necessary for the purpose of the investigation and carried out a verification visit at the premises of the applicant.
C. SCOPE OF THE REVIEW
(10) As no request for a review of the findings on injury was made by the applicant, the review was limited to dumping.
D. RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION
(11) The applicant was able to satisfactorily demonstrate that it was not related, directly or indirectly, to any of the Indian exporting producers subject to the anti-dumping measures in force with regard to the product concerned.
(12) The investigation confirmed that the applicant had not exported the product concerned during the original investigation period, i.e. from 1 April 1997 to 31 March 1998.
(13) The Commission examined whether the applicant had exported the product concerned to the Community subsequent to the original investigation period. In this respect, it was established that the applicant has not realised any sales whatsoever to the Community and neither has it entered into an irrevocable contractual obligation to export a significant quantity to the Community of the product concerned during the review investigation period.
(14) It was established that the applicant had only realised one sale to the Community which actually took place in August 2001, i.e. after the original investigation period but well before the review investigation period.
(15) The applicant requested the Commission to extend the review investigation period to cover the period in which the sale mentioned in recital 14 was realised. In this respect, the applicant argued that it had requested the ‘new exporter’ review in August 2001 and proposed an investigation period from 1 July 2001 to 31 March 2003.
(16) In reply to the questionnaire, the applicant identified a contract that had been signed during the review investigation period, but on spot confirmed that the sale had never been materialized. It is therefore established that the applicant has not entered into an irrevocable obligation to export a significant quantity to the Community and that the applicant's statement of ‘intent to continue the export to EC’ following the 2001 sale has not been materialized. For the above reasons, it is considered that in the absence of any export transaction to the Community or any irrevocable contractual obligation during the review investigation period, no individual dumping margin can be established for the applicant in accordance with the provisions of Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation. Thus, the dumping margin found in the original investigation for parties not individually investigated, i.e. 76,2 % (see recital 23 of Regulation (EC) No 1600/1999), should apply.
E. THE ANTI-DUMPING DUTY
(17) Given that the highest injury elimination level of 55,6 % established during the original investigation is lower than the 76,2 % dumping margin set for the applicant (see recital 16), the anti-dumping duty rate for the applicant should not be higher than this injury elimination level in accordance with Article 9(4) of the basic Regulation.
(18) Despite the lack of exports to the Community during the review investigation period, an individual countervailing duty rate based on the export subsidy amount (ad valorem 14,1 %), was calculated for the applicant in the parallel accelerated review of Regulation (EC) No 1599/1999, pursuant to Article 20 of Regulation (EC) No 2026/97 (see recital 5).
(19) In accordance with Article 14(1) of the basic Regulation and Article 24(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2026/97, no product shall be subject to both anti-dumping and countervailing duties for the purpose of dealing with one and the same situation arising from dumping or from export subsidisation.
(20) On the basis of the above, the definitive anti-dumping duty rate imposed for imports into the Community of stainless steel wire with a diameter of 1 mm or more produced and exported by VSL Wires Limited, expressed as a percentage of the CIF Community frontier price (customs duty unpaid) and taking into account the results of the parallel accelerated review of the countervailing measures in force, should be 41,5 %, i.e. 55,6 % minus 14,1 %. Regulation (EC) No 1600/1999 should therefore be amended accordingly.
F. RETROACTIVE LEVYING OF THE ANTI-DUMPING DUTY
(21) The anti-dumping duty applicable to VSL Wires Limited shall also be levied retroactively on imports which have been subject to registration pursuant to Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1225/2003.
G. DISCLOSURE AND DURATION OF THE MEASURES
(22) The Commission informed the applicant and the GOI of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to propose that Regulation (EC) No 1600/1999 be amended. They were also given a reasonable period of time to comment.
(23) In its response to the disclosure, the applicant claimed that the Commission failed to consider other available alternatives for establishing export price and in particular the use of the applicant's export prices to other third countries for the purpose of dumping margin calculations. In this respect, it should be noted that in accordance with Article 2(8) of the basic Regulation, the export price in a dumping calculation shall be the price actually paid or payable for the product when sold for export from the exporting country to the Community. There is no provision whatsoever that the export price can also be established on the basis of exports from the exporting country to destinations other than the Community. The claim should therefore be rejected and the conclusions set out in recitals 11 to 16 confirmed.
(24) This review does not affect the date on which Regulation (EC) No 1600/1999 will expire pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation,
The table in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1600/1999 is hereby amended by adding the following:
‘VSL Wires Limited, G-1/3 MIDC, Tarapur Industrial Area, Boisar District, Thane, Maharashtra, India 41,5 A444’
1. The anti-dumping duty hereby imposed shall also be levied retroactively on imports of the product concerned which have been registered pursuant to Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1225/2003.
2. Unless otherwise specified, the provisions in force concerning customs duties shall apply.
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 Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/220/EEC of 23 April 1990 on the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 97/35/EC (2), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas Articles 10 to 18 of Directive 90/220/EEC lay down a Community procedure enabling the competent authorities of a Member State to give consent to the placing on the market of products containing, or consisting of, genetically modified organisms;
Whereas a notification concerning the placing on the market of such a product has been submitted to the competent authorities of the United Kingdom;
Whereas the competent authorities of the United Kingdom have subsequently forwarded the dossier thereon to the Commission with a favourable opinion;
Whereas the competent authorities of other Member States raised objections to the said dossier;
Whereas subsequently the notifier formally requested that the scope of the notification be limited to 'handling of the product during import and before and during storage and processing`;
Whereas the notifier subsequently modified the proposed labelling in the original dossier as follows:
- those companies which are known to import for processing the product into the Community will be provided with product documentation informing them of the possibility that the product covered by the notification and produced outside the Community by or under licence from Hoechst Schering AgrEvo GmbH, may be present in bulk swede rape consignments,
- the product documentation to be provided will include, among others, information that the product has been produced by genetic modification as well as information on the potential uses of the product,
- the product documentation will also indicate that specific labelling requirements may be applicable in the Community for products derived from genetically modified swede rape;
Whereas, therefore, in accordance with Article 13(3) of Directive 90/220/EEC, the Commission is required to take a decision in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 21 of that Directive;
Whereas the Commission sought the opinion of the relevant Scientific Committees established by Commission Decision 97/579/EC (3) on this dossier; whereas the opinion was delivered on 10 February 1998 by the Scientific Committee on Plants which concluded that there is no reason to believe that the import of the product with the aim of processing would have any effects on human health or the environment;
Whereas the Commission, having examined each of the objections raised in the light of Directive 90/220/EEC, the information submitted in the dossier and the opinion of the Scientific Committee on Plants, has reached the conclusion that there is no reason to believe that there will be any adverse effects on human health or the environment from the handling of the product in the environment during import and before and during storage and processing;
Whereas, Article 11(6) and Article 16(1) of Directive 90/220/EEC provide additional safeguards if new information on risks of the product becomes available;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the committee established under Article 21 of Directive 90/220/EEC,
1. Without prejudice to other Community legislation, in particular Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and the Council (4), and subject to paragraph 2 of this Article, consent shall be given by the competent authorities of the United Kingdom to the placing on the market of the following product, notified by AgrEvo UK Crop Protection (Ref. C/UK/95/M5/1):
seeds of spring swede rape (Brassica napus L. spp. oleifera) derived from traditional breeding crosses between non-genetically modified swede rape and a line resulting from transformation event Topas 19/2 which has been transformed using plasmid pOCA/AC containing:
(a) a synthetic pat gene coding for phosphinothricin acetyltransferase under the regulation of 35S promoter and terminator sequences from cauliflower mosaic virus, and
(b) an npt II gene coding for neomycin phosphotransferase II under the regulation of the nopaline synthase promoter and on actopine synthase terminator sequence.
2. The consent shall cover the placing on the market of the product or handling in the environment during import and before and during storage and processing.

31996R1577 | Council Regulation (EC) No 1577/96 of 30 July 1996 introducing a specific measure in respect of certain grain legumes
| COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1577/96 of 30 July 1996 introducing a specific measure in respect of certain grain legumes
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 42 and 43 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 Regulation (EEC) No 762/89 (4) introduced a specific measure for certain grain legumes; whereas this measure expires on 30 June 1996;
Whereas maintaining the cultivation of grain legumes such as lentils, chick peas and vetches is of economic importance to the Community;
Whereas the objective of maintaining such crops may be achieved by granting aid per hectare; whereas the aid must be fixed at a rate enabling the abovementioned objective to be achieved; whereas the current rate of aid of ECU 181 per hectare is satisfactory;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 of 30 June 1992 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops (5) lays down constraints on areas on which the compensatory aid is payable, in particular in respect of oilseeds; whereas the cultivation of such grain legumes provides a viable alternative and prevents imbalance on the Community market; whereas, however, too great an extension of areas under such crops should be avoided; whereas that can be achieved by fixing a maximum guaranteed area of 400 000 hectares;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 762/89 applies penalties to the aid paid in the marketing year following any overrun of the maximum guaranteed area; whereas this Regulation applies the penalty, in the event of an overrun, in the current marketing year; whereas transitional measures should be adopted by the Commission to avoid the application of two penalties in the first year of application, namely from 1 July 1996 to 30 June 1997,
Aid shall be granted for the production of the following grain legumes:
(a) lentils covered by CN code 0713 40 90 (other);
(b) chick peas covered by CN code 0713 20 90 (other);
(c) vetches of the species Vicia sativa L. and Vicia ervilla Willd. covered by CN code ex 0713 90 90 (other).
1. The aid shall be granted by marketing year for the production of the grain legumes covered by Article 1. The marketing year shall run from 1 July to 30 June.
An arable plot which is the subject of an application for aid per hectare under a system financed in accordance with Article 1 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 (6) shall be excluded from eligibility for payment of the aid provided for by this system.
2. Without prejudice to Article 3, the aid per hectare of area sown and harvested shall be ECU 181 per hectare.
Whereas the areas sown to the grain legumes covered by Article 1 exceed a maximum guaranteed area of 400 000 hectares, the aid in respect of the current marketing year shall be reduced proportionately.
1. The production aid introduced by this Regulation shall be deemed intervention intended to stabilize agricultural markets within the meaning of Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70.
2. The following indent shall be added to Article 1 (1) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 3508/92 (7):
'- the specific measure in respect of certain grain legumes established by Regulation (EC) No 1575/96 (*);
(*) OJ No L 206, 16. 8. 1996, p. 1.`.
1. Member States shall notify the Commission by no later than 15 September of each marketing year of the areas covered by aid applications.
2. Member States shall notify the Commission by no later than 1 November of each marketing year of the areas in respect of which the aid is payable.
1. The Commission shall lay down detailed rules of application in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 603/95 (8). In accordance with that procedure, the Commission shall determine the overrun in the maximum guaranteed area and shall fix the definitive aid by no later than 15 November of the marketing year in question.
2. If transitional measures are necessary in order to facilitate transition from the system in force to that established by this Regulation, they shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in paragraph 1.
3. After three marketing years of the system provided for in this Regulation the Commission shall make a report on its application, accompanied, where necessary, by appropriate proposals.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from the 1996/97 marketing year.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1749/92 of 30 June 1992 fixing, for the 1992/93 marketing year, the derived intervention prices for white sugar, the intervention price for raw sugar, the minimum prices for A and B beet, the threshold prices, the amount of compensation for storage costs and the prices to be applied in Spain and Portugal
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 234 (2) thereof,
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), and in particular Articles 3 (5), 5 (5), 8 (4) and 14 (5) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1716/91 of 13 June 1991 concerning the alignment of the prices of sugar and sugar beet applicable in Spain on the common prices (2), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1748/92 of 30 June 1992 fixing, for the 1992/93 marketing year, certain sugar prices and the standard quality of beet (4), fixed the intervention price for white sugar at ECU 53,01 per 100 kilograms applicable for the non-deficit areas;
Whereas Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that derived intervention prices for white sugar are to be fixed for each of the deficit areas; whereas, for such fixing, it is appropriate that account be taken of the regional variations which, given a normal harvest and free movement of sugar, might be expected to occur in the price of sugar under natural conditions of price formation on the market;
Whereas a deficit supply situation is to be foreseen in the areas of production in Italy, Ireland and the United Kingdom;
Whereas Article 3 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that an intervention price for raw sugar shall be fixed; whereas such price should be established on the basis of the intervention price for white sugar;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1748/92 fixed the basic price for beet at ECU 40 per tonne; whereas Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that the minimum price to be fixed for A beet shall be 98 % of the basic price of the beet and the minimum price to be fixed for B beet shall in principle be 68 % of the said basic price, without prejudice to Article 28 (5) of that Regulation;
Whereas Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that the threshold price for white sugar shall be equal to the target price, plus costs, calculated at a flat rate, of transport from the Community area having the largest surplus to the most distant deficit consumption area in the Community, plus a flat-rate amount which takes into account the storage levy; whereas, given the state of supplies within the Community, account should be taken of transport charges between the departments of northern France and Palermo;
Whereas the threshold price for raw sugar is to be derived from the threshold price for white sugar by reference to a processing margin and a standard yield;
Whereas the threshold price for molasses should be fixed in such a way that the receipts from sales of molasses may reach the level of receipts of undertakings taken into account in the fixing of basic prices for beet;
Whereas Articles 3 and 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 1716/92 provide that, for the first stage of the alignment of the prices for sugar and beet in Spain, an intervention price for white sugar and a basic price and minimum prices for beet are to be fixed taking account in particular of a reducing factor with respect to a reference price; whereas, for the 1992/93 marketing year, the reducing factor with respect to the reference price is ECU 3,44 per 100 kilograms of white sugar and ECU 2,836 per tonne of beet; whereas pursuant to Article 5 of that Regulation account should be taken of the corresponding common prices to be fixed for that marketing year for the purposes of fixing the prices for sugar and beet applicable in Spain;
Whereas Article 5 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1358/77 of 20 June 1977 laying down general rules for offsetting storage costs for sugar and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 750/68 (5) provides that the amount of repayment in the context of the compensation for storage costs shall be fixed per month and per unit of weight, taking account of financing costs, insurance costs and specific storage costs; whereas, as a result of the maintenance of prices, interest of 10 % should continue to be levied for financing costs, that is a monthly sum of ECU 0,52 per 100 kilograms of white sugar;
Whereas, at the end of the period of transition applicable to Portugal in the sugar sector, in other words from the 1992/93 marketing year, the price of white sugar applicable in Portugal must, in accordance with Article 238 (2) of the Act of Accession, reach the common price after seven staged increases; whereas, as stated in the proceedings of the conference which preceded the accession of Portugal, the common reference price in question is the derived intervention price applicable in the Ireland/United Kingdom area, in this case for the 1992/93 marketing year; whereas, moreover, the supply situation is still in a structural deficit in all Portuguese production areas; whereas, the results of the regionalization applicable to date in the Ireland/United Kingdom production area are also valid in the Portuguese area; whereas, therefore, a derived intervention price should also be fixed for white sugar for all the areas in Portugal for the 1992/93 marketing year;
Whereas the case where beet prices in Portugal are higher than the common prices is regulated by Article 238 (3) (a) and (b) of the Act of Accession, which stipulates that where the price of a product in Portugal is higher than the common price, on the one hand, the alignment results from the development of common prices during the seven years following accession, and on the other, the Council must carry out an analysis of the development of moves towards price alignment on the basis of an opinion from the Commission;
Whereas that analysis has shown that the anticipated alignment as a result of the supposed increase in common prices for beet has not taken place because they have in general been maintained and even reduced; whereas, however, the Portuguese prices of beet have been adapted in order to stop the gap between Portuguese and common prices from widening;
Whereas the gap between the Portuguese price of beet and the common reference price of beet, that is, the basic price plus, in accordance with the proceedings of the conference which preceded accession, the effect of regionalization for the Ireland/United Kingdom area, is less than the 3 % fixed in Article 237 of the Act of Accession and therefore can be considered as minimal; whereas, therefore, the alignment of the price of sugar is achieved from the 1992/93 marketing year; whereas, therefore, the minimum prices of beet applicable to Portugal can now justifiably be set in accordance with Article 5 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81, which means that from the 1992/93 marketing year, they are established on the basis of the derived intervention price for white sugar fixed for all the areas of Portugal,
For the deficit areas of the Community, the derived intervention price for white sugar shall be fixed, per 100 kilograms, at:
(a) ECU 54,22 for all the areas in the United Kingdom;
(b) ECU 54,22 for all the areas in Ireland;
(c) ECU 54,22 for all the areas in Portugal;
(d) ECU 54,95 for all the areas in Italy.
The intervention price of raw sugar shall be ECU 43,94 per 100 kilograms.
1. The minimum price for A beet, applicable in the Community with the exception of Spain, shall be ECU 39,20 per tonne.
2. Subject to Article 28 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81, the minimum price for B beet, applicable in the Community with the exception of Spain, shall be ECU 27,20 per tonne.
Alignment of the sugar beet prices applicable in Portugal with the common prices shall be accomplished with effect from 1 July 1992.
1. The sugar prices to be applied in Spain shall be as follows:
(a) the intervention price for white sugar shall be ECU 59,57 per 100 kilograms;
(b) the prices for beet shall be:
- ECU 46,08 per tonne for the basic price,
- ECU 45,28 per tonne for the minimum price for A beet,
- ECU 33,28 per tonne for the minimum price for B beet, subject to the application of Article 28 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81.
2. The beet prices referred to in paragraph 1 shall be for delivery at the collection centre and shall apply to beet of standard quality as defined in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1748/92.
The threshold price shall be:
(a) ECU 63,90 per 100 kilograms of white sugar;
(b) ECU 54,60 per 100 kilograms of raw sugar;
(c) ECU 6,89 per 100 kilograms of molasses.
The amount of the reimbursement referred to in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 shall be ECU 0,52 per month per 100 kilograms of white sugar.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply for the 1992/93 marketing year.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1371/81 of 19 May 1981 [4] laid down detailed rules for the administrative application of the monetary compensatory amounts introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 974/71 ;
Whereas, up to 4 October 1981, the Belgo-Luxembourg Economic Union (BLEU) and the Netherlands had decided to keep fluctuations of their currencies within the margins prior to 9 May 1971 and had not altered the relationship between their currencies, thereby avoiding application of monetary compensatory amounts between the BLEU and the Netherlands; whereas, however, following the adjustments to central rates carried out within the European monetary system and taking effect on 5 October 1981, the existing relationship between the Belgian/Luxembourg franc and the Dutch guilder has been altered; whereas, accordingly, monetary compensatory amounts are to be applied between the BLEU and the Netherlands and Article 24 of Regulation (EEC) No 1371/81 should be amended accordingly; whereas the consequences of this situation must be taken into account and Regulations (EEC) No 243/78 [5] and (EEC) No 52/81 [6] amended accordingly;

(3) For the purpose of avoiding situations of double non-taxation deriving from mismatches in the tax treatment of profit distributions between Member States, the Member State of the parent company and the Member State of its permanent establishment should not allow those companies to benefit from the tax exemption applied to received distributed profits, to the extent that such profits are deductible by the subsidiary of the parent company.
(4) It is appropriate to update Part A of Annex I to Directive 2011/96/EU to include other forms of companies made subject to corporation tax in Poland and other forms of companies which have been introduced in the company law of Romania.
(5) Directive 2011/96/EU should therefore be amended accordingly,
Directive 2011/96/EU is amended as follows:
(1) in Article 4(1), point (a) is replaced by the following:
‘(a) refrain from taxing such profits to the extent that such profits are not deductible by the subsidiary, and tax such profits to the extent that such profits are deductible by the subsidiary; or’;
(2) in Annex I, part A, point (u) is replaced by the following:
‘(u) companies under Polish law known as: “spółka akcyjna”, “spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością”, spółka komandytowo-akcyjna;’;
(3) in Annex I, part A, point (w) is replaced by the following:
‘(w) companies under Romanian law known as: “societăți pe acțiuni”, “societăți în comandită pe acțiuni”, “societăți cu răspundere limitată”, “societăți în nume colectiv”, “societăți în comandită simplă”;’.

Whereas:
(1) Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 introduces a system of quotas for the various groups of tobacco varieties.

Article 9(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 allows the Commission to authorise the Member States to transfer guarantee threshold quantities between groups of varieties. The transfers between groups of varieties contemplated do not give rise to any additional expenditure to the EAGGF and do not entail any increase in the overall guarantee threshold of each Member State.
(2) This Regulation must apply as soon as possible and, at all events, well before the time limit for the conclusion of cultivation contracts laid down in Article 10(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2848/98 of 22 December 1998 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 as regards the premium scheme, production quotas and the specific aid to the granted to producer groups in the raw tobacco sector(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 909/1999(4).

Whereas:
(1) Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provides that the rates of duty in the Common Customs Tariff are to be charged on import of the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation. 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.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the common commercial policy must be based on uniform principles; whereas the common rules for imports laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 288/82 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1243/86 (2), are an important aspect of that policy; whereas the liberalization of imports, that is to say the absence of any quantitative restrictions, subject to exceptions and derogations provided for in Community rules, is the starting point for common rules in this field;

| Council Decision
of 18 November 2002
authorising the Member States, in the interest of the Community, to ratify or accede to the International Convention on Liability and Compensation for Damage in Connection with the Carriage of Hazardous and Noxious Substances by Sea, 1996 (the HNS Convention)
(2002/971/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 61(c), Article 67(1) and Article 300(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2),
Whereas:
(1) The International Convention on Liability and Compensation for Damage in Connection with the Carriage of Hazardous and Noxious Substances by Sea, 1996 (hereinafter referred to as the "HNS Convention") is aimed at ensuring adequate, prompt, and effective compensation of persons who suffer damage caused by spills of hazardous and noxious substances, when carried by sea. The HNS Convention fills a significant gap in the international regulation of marine pollution liability.
(2) Articles 38, 39 and 40 of the HNS Convention affect Community secondary legislation on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments, as laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 of 22 December 2000 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters(3).
(3) The Community therefore has sole competence in relation to Articles 38, 39 and 40 of the HNS Convention inasmuch as that Convention affects the rules laid down in Regulation (EC) No 44/2001. The Member States retain their competence for matters covered by that Convention which do not affect Community law.
(4) Pursuant to the HNS Convention, only sovereign States may be party to it; there are no plans, in the short term, to reopen negotiations for the purpose of taking into account Community competence for the matter. It is not therefore possible for the Community to ratify or accede to the HNS Convention at present, nor is there any prospect that it will be able to do so in the near future.
(5) The HNS Convention is particularly important, given the interests of the Community and its Member States, because it makes for improved victim protection under international rules on marine pollution liability, in keeping with the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
(6) The substantive rules of the system established by the HNS Convention fall under the national competence of Member States and only the provisions of jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of the judgments are matters covered by exclusive Community competence. Given the subject matters and the aim of the HNS Convention, acceptance of the provisions of that Convention which come under Community competence cannot be dissociated from the provisions which come under the competence of the Member States.
(7) The Council should therefore authorise the Member States to ratify or accede to the HNS Convention in the interest of the Community, under the conditions set out in this Decision.
(8) Member States should finalise, within a reasonable time, their procedures for ratification of, or accession to, the HNS Convention in the interest of the Community. Member States should exchange information on the state of their ratification or accession procedures in order to prepare the deposit of their instruments of ratification of, or accession to, the Convention.
(9) The United Kingdom and Ireland are taking part in the adoption and application of this Decision.
(10) In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of the Protocol on the position of Denmark annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Denmark is not taking part in the adoption of this Decision, and is not bound by it or subject to its application,

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 42 and 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas the support system for producers of certain arable crops introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 (2) provides that, in order to qualify for compensatory payments under the general scheme, producers must set aside a predetermined percentage of their arable land; whereas this percentage is to be reviewed to take account of production and market developments;
Whereas, since the introduction of this system, the cereals market has achieved a better balance as a result of a reduction in production and an increase in Community consumption; whereas this situation, together with the very low level of stocks and very firm prices on the world market, has resulted in a significant reduction in stocks and a sharp rise in the prices for cereals on the Community market;
Whereas the present market situation for cereals is threatening to undermine, in the short term, the Community's presence on the world market and to jeopardize some of the results achieved since the reform of the arable sector, in particular the continuing rise in the consumption of cereals in animal feed; whereas the rate for set-aside beginning not later than 15 January 1997 should therefore be set for the 1997/98 marketing year at a level lower than that resulting from the provisions in force and the application of special set-aside should be suspended where the base area under the 1996/97 marketing year is exceeded;
Whereas, in the event of a transfer of the set-aside requirement, the basic 17,5 % set-aside rate is increased by 3 %; whereas this increase should be adjusted in order to maintain a similar ratio between the basic rate and the percentage increase due on transfer, as a result of the drop in the basic rate; whereas, in the event of a transfer of the set-aside requirement to areas which are sensitive from an environmental point of view, it is appropriate not to apply the abovementioned increase,
For the 1997/98 marketing year, notwithstanding Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92:
- the set-aside requirement referred to in paragraph 1 and the said Article shall be set at 5 %,
- the increase referred to in the second indent of paragraph 7 of the said Article shall be set at one percentage point. However, no increase shall apply to transfers executed to a particular area where environment objectives are achieved.
Should the base area under the 1996/97 marketing year be exceeded, the special set-aside referred to in Article 2 (6), second indent of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 shall not apply.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply to set-aside for the 1997/98 marketing year only.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |

of 29 April 2004
fixing the rates of the refunds applicable to certain milk products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 15 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products(1), and in particular Article 31(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 31(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the difference between prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), and (g) of that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund. Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common implementing rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds(2), specifies the products for which a rate of refund should be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999.
(2) In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question must be fixed for each month.
(3) However in the case of certain milk products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, there is a danger that, if high refund rates are fixed in advance, the commitments entered into in relation to those refunds may be jeopardised. In order to avert that danger, it is therefore necessary to take appropriate precautionary measures, but without precluding the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of specific refund rates for the advance fixing of refunds in respect of those products should enable those two objectives to be met.
(4) Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 provides that, when the rate of the refund is being fixed, account should be taken, where necessary, of production refunds, aids or other measures having equivalent effect applicable in all Member States in accordance with the Regulation on the common organisation of the market in the product in question to the basic products listed in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 or to assimilated products.
(5) Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides for the payment of aid for Community-produced skimmed milk processed into casein if such milk and the casein manufactured from it fulfil certain conditions.
(6) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2571/97 of 15 December 1997 on the sale of butter at reduced prices and the granting of aid for cream, butter and concentrated butter for use in the manufacture of pastry products, ice cream and other foodstuffs(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 635/2000, lays down that butter and cream at reduced prices should be made available to industries which manufacture certain goods.
(7) By Regulations (EC) No 1039/2003(4), (EC) No 1086/2003(5), (EC) No 1087/2003(6), (EC) No 1088/2003(7), (EC) No 1089/2003(8) and (EC) No 1090/2003(9) the Council adopted autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Estonia, Slovenia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia and the Czech Republic and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to those countries.. Those Regulations provide that with effect from 1 July 2003, processed agricultural products not listed in Annex I to the Treaty which are exported to Estonia, Slovenia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia or the Czech Republic, shall not be eligible for export refunds.
(8) Council Regulation (EC) No 999/2003 of 2 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the import of certain processed agricultural products originating in Hungary and the export of certain processed agricultural products to Hungary(10), provides that with effect from 1 July 2003, the goods referred to in Article 1(2) thereof, which are exported to Hungary shall not be eligible for export refunds.
(9) Council Regulation (EC) No 1890/2003 of 27 October 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Malta and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Malta(11), provides that with effect from 1 November 2003, processed agricultural products not listed in Annex I to the Treaty which are exported to Malta, shall not be eligible for export refunds.
(10) With a view to enlargement of the European Union on 1 May 2004, and in order to encourage the gradual alignment of prices in the acceding states on the Community level and to prevent any abuse through the re-import or re-introduction into the Community of products in receipt of export refunds, the setting of all remaining export refunds has been discontinued in the milk and milk products sector, in relation to the products concerned when exported unprocessed to the acceding states.
(11) Therefore, with effect from 7 April 2004 no refund should be set for certain milk products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty when exported to Cyprus and Poland and for the goods which are not referred to in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 999/2003 when exported to Hungary.
(12) The Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products appearing in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 and listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999, and exported in the form of goods listed in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 shall, in respect of the products listed in the Annex to this Regulation, be fixed in accordance with that Annex.
1. Without prejudice to Article 1 and with effect from 1 July 2003 the rates set out in the Annex are not applicable to goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty when exported to the Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia or Slovenia and to the goods referred to in Article 1(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 999/2003 when exported to Hungary.
With effect from 1 November 2003 these rates are not applicable to goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty when exported to Malta.
2.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concerning additives in feedingstuffs(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1636/1999(2), and in particular Article 9h(3)(b) and Article 9i(3)(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) because of the risk for human and animal health posed by the circulation in the Community of poor copies of zootechnical additives, Directive 70/524/EEC, as amended by Council Directive 96/51/EC(3), provides for the linking of the authorisation of certain classes of additives to the person responsible for putting them into circulation;
(2) in particular Article 9h of Directive 70/524/EEC provides for the replacement of the provisional authorisations of additives included in Annex I after 31 December 1987 and belonging to the group of coccidiostats and other medicinal substances and transferred to Chapter II of Annex B by authorisations linked to the person responsible for putting them into circulation for a period of 10 years;
(3) in particular Article 9i of Directive 70/524/EEC provides for the replacement of the provisional authorisations of additives included in Annex II before 1 April 1998 and belonging to the group of coccidiostats and other medicinal substances and transferred to Chapter III of Annex B by provisional authorisations linked to the person responsible for putting them into circulation;
(4) the additives listed in the Annexes to this Regulation were the subject of new applications for authorisation by the person responsible for the dossier on the basis of which the former authorisations were given or by their successors. The applications relating to those additives were accompanied by the required monographs and identification notes;
(5) the linking of the authorisation to a person responsible for putting the additive into circulation is based on a purely administrative procedure and did not entail a fresh assessment of the additives. Although the authorisations are given for a specified period they may be withdrawn at any time in accordance with Article 9m and Article 11 of Directive 70/524/EEC. In particular, authorisations of additives may be withdrawn as a result of the re-evaluation carried out under Article 9g of Directive 70/524/EEC;
(6) the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for Feedingstuffs,
The provisional authorisations of the additives listed in Annex I to this Regulation are replaced by authorisations granted to the person responsible for putting the additive in circulation, inserted in the second column of Annex I.
The provisional authorisations of the additives listed in Annex II to this Regulation are replaced by provisional authorisations granted to the person responsible for putting the additive into circulation, inserted in the second column of Annex II.

(2) However, the exchange of information and staff and the assistance and training measures implemented under the programme should be uniform throughout the Community and steps should therefore be taken to guarantee the same level of protection for the euro in the Member States which have not adopted it,
The application of Articles 1 to 13 of Decision 2001/923/EC shall be extended to those Member States which have not adopted the euro as their single currency.

(notified under document C(2011) 9002)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2011/825/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2006/88/EC of 24 October 2006 on animal health requirements for aquaculture animals and products thereof, and on the prevention and control of certain diseases in aquatic animals (1), and in particular Article 43(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2010/221/EU of 15 April 2010 approving national measures for limiting the impact of certain diseases in aquaculture animals and wild aquatic animals in accordance with Article 43 of Council Directive 2006/88/EC (2) allows certain Member States to apply restrictions on consignments of those animals in order to prevent the introduction of certain diseases into their territory, provided that they have either demonstrated that their territory, or certain demarcated areas of their territory, are free of such diseases or that they have established an eradication or surveillance programme to obtain such freedom.
(2) The continental parts of the territories of Finland and Sweden are listed in Annex II to Decision 2010/221/EU as territories with an approved eradication programme as regards bacterial kidney disease (BKD).
(3) The coastal parts of the territory of Sweden are listed in Annex II to Decision 2010/221/EU as having an approved eradication programme as regards infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPN).
(4) Accordingly, Decision 2010/221/EU approves certain national measures by Finland and Sweden on consignments of aquaculture animals of susceptible species into those areas. However, to allow for a re-evaluation of the appropriateness of those national measures, the authorisation to apply those measures is limited in time until 31 December 2011.
(5) Finland has submitted reports to the Commission on the functioning of its national eradication programme for BKD, in which it is stated that the eradication of BKD has not yet been successful. While progress has been made in several areas, some areas still remain infected with BKD. Finland has therefore requested that the geographical demarcation of the programme be limited to two continuous zones covering 19 water catchment areas. In those two zones, only four farms are under BKD-related restrictions and they are all undergoing the process of destroying infected fish, and the cleaning and disinfection of the facilities.
(6) Sweden has submitted a report to the Commission on the functioning of its national eradication programmes for BKD and IPN. The number of reported cases has been reduced significantly and both diseases are close to being eradicated from the programme areas. The continental parts of Sweden are already free of IPN and the national eradication programme in the coastal waters therefore also functions as a buffer to protect the already declared free areas.
(7) On the basis of the information provided by Finland and Sweden, it is appropriate to continue those national measures. However, taking into account that eradication has not yet been achieved despite years of applying national eradication programmes, the appropriateness and necessity of the national measures needs to be re-evaluated in due time. Therefore, the authorisation to apply those national measures should be limited to two more years until 31 December 2013.
(8) Annex III to Decision 2010/221/EU currently lists nine compartments in the territory of Ireland with an approved surveillance programme as regards ostreid herpesvirus 1 μνar (OsHV-1 μνar).
(9) Ireland has notified to the Commission the detection of OsHV-1 μνar in two of those compartments, namely in Gweendore Bay within compartment 1 and Ballinakill Bay within compartment 4. Consequently, the geographical demarcation of those two compartments in Annex III to Decision 2010/221/EU should be amended.
(10) Decision 2010/221/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.
(11) 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 2010/221/EU is amended as follows:
(1) in Article 3(2), the date ‘31 December 2011’ is replaced by ‘31 December 2013’;
(2) Annexes II and III are replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.

COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) No 992/2014
of 22 September 2014
repealing Delegated Regulation (EU) No 950/2014
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1), and in particular Article 219(1) in conjunction with Article 228 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In order to mitigate or eliminate the threat of serious imbalance in the cheese market created by the import ban introduced by the Russian government, Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 950/2014 (2) provided for a temporary exceptional private storage aid scheme for cheeses for a maximum volume of 155 000 tonnes. To ensure the respect of that maximum quantity, a notification and monitoring mechanism was set up.
(2) While the effects of the Russian import ban impact potentially the whole EU market for cheeses, the most affected Member States are Finland and the Baltic States for which Russia is the exclusive trading partner for cheese and Germany, the Netherlands and Poland, for which Russia is a significant destination for cheeses. Furthermore, while cheeses with a geographical indication are affected by the import ban, they only represent a minimum share of the whole range of cheese exported to Russia.
(3) The notifications received so far in application of the monitoring mechanism of Article 12 of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 950/2014 show that the scheme is disproportionately used by producers of cheese from areas traditionally not exporting significant quantities to Russia. The scheme therefore does not seem adequate to react effectively and efficiently against the market disturbances that result from the Russian ban.
(4) In light of the above and to ensure a sound use of the Union budget, it is appropriate to put an end to the private storage scheme for cheeses as provided for by Delegated Regulation (EU) No 950/2014.
(5) In order to reduce the risk of an inefficient use of the Union budget, this measure needs to apply immediately.
(6) In order to ensure that the expectations of operators having applied for the aid for private storage of cheeses under Article 4 of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 950/2014 are protected, applications lodged before the entry into force of this Regulation should be taken into account for the payment of the aid provided for by Delegated Regulation (EU) No 950/2014,
Repeal of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 950/2014
Delegated Regulation (EU) No 950/2014 is hereby repealed.
However, it shall continue to apply in respect of applications lodged in accordance with its Article 4 before the entry into force of this Regulation.
Where acceptance of the full quantity of products for which applications for aid have been notified to the Commission in accordance with the previous subparagraph in relation to a given week would lead to the maximum quantity referred to in Article 1 of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 950/2014 being exceeded, the Commission shall, by means of an implementing act adopted without applying the procedure referred to in Article 229(2) and (3) of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, set an allocation coefficient applicable to the quantities corresponding to the applications notified to the Commission in relation to that week. That allocation coefficient shall limit the total quantity of products eligible for the temporary exceptional private storage aid to the maximum quantity referred to in Article 1 of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 950/2014.
Entry into force and application
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Where such bodies send or receive information for the exchange of human organs, they should act in accordance with the common procedures laid down in this Directive. These procedures should not preclude additional verbal contacts, in particular in case of urgencies.
(3) In the implementation of this Directive, Member States are to ensure that the processing of donors’ and recipients’ personal data complies with 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 (2). In order to enhance awareness of the persons processing information transmitted pursuant to this Directive, it is appropriate to include a reminder in the written communications pursuant to this Directive.
(4) In order to allow for rapid responses in case of alerts, and in order to facilitate the implementation of the obligation, provided for in Article 10(3)(b) of Directive 2010/53/EU, to keep data needed to ensure full traceability for a minimum of 30 years after donation, and without prejudice to the obligations of other bodies in that respect, it is appropriate that competent authorities or delegated bodies handle and record that information. Procurement organisations and transplantation centres should therefore ensure that their respective competent authorities or delegated bodies receive a copy of the information on organ and donor characterisation exchanged pursuant to this Directive, where applicable.
(5) Given the current variety of practices between Member States, it is not appropriate at this stage to provide for a standard form for the transmission of information on organ and donor characterisation in this Directive. However, in order to facilitate mutual understanding of the information transmitted, such a standard form should be developed in the future, in cooperation with the Member States.
(6) A serious adverse event or reaction may be detected in a Member State of origin or destination and may be of concern for the quality and safety of the donated organs and as a consequence for the health of recipients, and in case of living donation also for the health of the donor. When organs are exchanged between Member States, such concerns may occur in different Member States. Moreover, organs from one donor might be transplanted into recipients in different Member States so that, if a serious adverse event or reaction is first detected in one Member State of destination, the competent authorities or delegated bodies in the Member State of origin and in the other Member States of destination have to be informed. It is essential to ensure that all competent authorities or delegated bodies of all the Member States concerned are informed without undue delay. In order to reach this objective, Member States should ensure that all relevant information is disseminated among all Member States concerned through a set of written reports. Initial reports should be updated if additional relevant information becomes available.
(7) The transmission of information is very often a matter of urgency. It is essential that the senders of information are able to identify and inform rapidly the relevant addressees. The competent authorities or delegated bodies of a Member State should, where appropriate in accordance with the repartition of competence in the Member State concerned, transfer the information received pursuant to this Directive to the appropriate recipient. A list of national contact points, including their contact details, should be made available at Union level and be constantly kept up to date.
(8) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on organ transplantation, established under Article 30 of Directive 2010/53/EU,
Scope
This Directive shall apply to the cross-border exchange of human organs intended for transplantation within the European Union.

of 16 June 2003
amending Decision No 276/1999/EC adopting a multiannual Community action plan on promoting safer use of the Internet by combating illegal and harmful content on global networks

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee(2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions(3),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty(4),
Whereas:
(1) Decision No 276/1999/EC(5) was adopted for a period of four years.
(2) In accordance with Article 6(4) of Decision No 276/1999/EC, the Commission has submitted to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions an evaluation report on the results obtained at the end of two years in implementing the action lines set out in Annex I to that Decision.
(3) The findings of the evaluation formed part of the basic documentation for a workshop on safer use of new online technologies at which leading experts in the field examined the likely future evolution of the issues addressed by the action plan laid down in Decision No 276/1999/EC (hereafter referred to as the action plan) and made recommendations to the Commission.
(4) New online technologies, new users and new usage patterns create new dangers and exacerbate existing dangers at the same time as opening a wealth of new opportunities.
(5) There is a clear need for coordination within the safer Internet field, both on the national and the European level. There should be a large degree of decentralisation using networks of national focal points. The involvement of all the relevant actors, especially a greater number of content providers in the different sectors, should be encouraged. The Commission should act as a facilitator for and contributor to European and global cooperation. Cooperation between the Community and candidate and accession countries should be enhanced.
(6) More time is needed for actions to be implemented to enhance networking, to achieve the objectives of the action plan and to take account of new online technologies.
(7) The financial framework constituting the prime reference for the budgetary authority during the annual budgetary procedure should be amended accordingly.
(8) The Commission should be required to present a second report on the results obtained in implementing the action lines after four years and a final report at the end of the action plan.
(9) The list of candidate and accession countries able to participate should be amended by including Malta and Turkey.
(10) The Action Plan should be extended for a further period of two years which should be regarded as a second phase; in order to make specific provision for the second phase, the action lines should be amended, taking account of the experience and the findings of the evaluation report.
(11) Decision 276/1999/EC should therefore be amended accordingly,
Decision No 276/1999/EC is hereby amended as follows:
1. The title shall be replaced by the following:
"Decision No 276/1999/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 January 1999 adopting a Multiannual Community Action Plan on promoting safer use of the Internet and new online technologies by combating illegal and harmful content primarily in the area of the protection of children and minors."

An indicative breakdown of expenditure is given in Annex II."
4. In Article 3, the first indent shall be replaced by the following:
"- promotion of industry self-regulation and content monitoring schemes (for example, dealing with content such as child pornography or content which is likely to result in physical or mental harm or content which incites hatred on grounds of race, sex, religion, nationality or ethnic origin),"
5. Article 6(4) shall be replaced by the following:
"4. At the end of two years, at the end of four years and at the end of the action plan, the Commission shall submit to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions, once the committee referred to in Article 5 has examined it, an evaluation report on the results obtained in implementing the action plan. The Commission may present, on the basis of those results, proposals for adjusting the orientation of the action plan."
6. Article 7(1) shall be replaced by the following:
"1. Participation in this action plan may be opened to EFTA States which are members of the European Economic Area (EEA) in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement on the EEA."

"2. The action plan shall be open to participation of the candidate and accession countries on the following basis:
(a) central and eastern European countries (CEECs), in accordance with the conditions established in the Europe Agreements, in their additional protocols, and in the decisions of the respective Association Councils;
(b) Cyprus, Malta and Turkey, in accordance with bilateral agreements to be concluded."
8. Annex I shall be amended as set out in the Annex I to this Decision.

of 12 June 2009
derogating from point 1(d) of the Annex to Decision 2006/133/EC, as amended by Decision 2009/420/EC, as regards the date of application in relation to susceptible wood originating outside the demarcated areas
(notified under document number C(2009) 4515)
(2009/462/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), and in particular the fourth sentence of Article 16(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 28 May 2009, the Commission adopted Decision 2009/420/EC amending Decision 2006/133/EC requiring Member States temporarily to take additional measures against the dissemination of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner et Buhrer) Nickle et al. (the pine wood nematode) as regards areas in Portugal, other than those in which it is known not to occur (2). That Decision introduced in Commission Decision 2006/133/EC (3), as from 16 June 2009, the obligation that susceptible wood packaging material not originating from the demarcated areas undergoes one of the approved treatments specified in Annex I to FAO International Standard for Phytosanitary measures No 15 and is marked according to Annex II to the said Standard before being moved from the demarcated areas to other areas in Member States or in third countries as well as from part of the demarcated area in which the pine wood nematode is known to occur to the part of the demarcated area designated as a buffer zone.
(2) Wood packaging material is required for the transport of many goods of all kinds. However, until now the production and use of susceptible wood packaging material treated and marked in accordance with the Annexes I and II to FAO International Standard for Phytosanitary measures No 15 is not generalised in the Community. It appears in particular that not enough wood packaging material complying with the FAO International Standard for Phytosanitary measures No 15 can be made available at short time to cover the needs of the economic operators trading goods from Portugal to other Member States or third countries.
(3) To avoid risks of disproportionate disruption of trade, it appears necessary to provide for a derogation as regards the date of application of the requirements set out in Decision 2006/133/EC, as amended by Decision 2009/420/EC, which refer to the obligation to treat and mark in accordance with Annexes I and II to FAO International Standard for Phytosanitary measures No 15 susceptible wood packaging material not originating from demarcated areas before moving it from the demarcated areas in Portugal to other areas.
(4) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Point 1(d) of the Annex to Decision 2006/133/EC, as amended by Decision 2009/420/EC, shall not apply to susceptible wood originating outside the demarcated areas.
This Decision shall apply from 16 June 2009 until 31 December 2009.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in poultrymeat (1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2398/96 of 12 December 1996 opening a tariff quota for turkey meat originating in and coming from Israel as provided for in the Association Agreement and the Interim Agreement between the European Community and the State of Israel (2), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Having regard to Council Decision 2003/917/EC of 22 December 2003 on the conclusion of an Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the State of Israel concerning reciprocal liberalisation measures and the replacement of the EC-Israel Association Agreement (3), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2497/96 of 18 December 1996 laying down rules for the application in the poultrymeat sector of the system provided for by the Association Agreement and the Interim Agreement between the European Community and the State of Israel (4) has been substantially amended several times and requires further amendment. Regulation (EC) No 2497/96 should therefore be repealed and replaced by a new regulation.
(2) The tariff quotas should be administered on the basis of import licences. To that end, detailed rules for the submission of applications and the information which must appear in applications and licences should be laid down.
(3) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 of 9 June 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (5) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (6) should apply, save as otherwise provided for in this Regulation.
(4) In order to ensure a regular flow of imports, the quota period running from 1 January to 31 December should be subdivided into several subperiods. In any event, under Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 licences are valid only up to and including the last day of the tariff quota period.
(5) In view of the risk of speculation inherent in the system in the poultrymeat sector, clear conditions should be laid down as regards access for operators to the tariff quota scheme.
(6) For appropriate administration of the tariff quotas, the security linked to the import licences should be set at EUR 20 per 100 kilograms.
(7) In the interests of the operators, the Commission should determine the quantities that have not been applied for, which will be added to the next quota subperiod in accordance with Article 7(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs,
1. The tariff quotas in Annex I are opened by Regulation (EC) No 2398/96 for the import of poultrymeat products under the CN codes indicated therein.
The tariff quotas shall be open on an annual basis for the period from 1 January to 31 December.
2. The quantity of products covered by the quotas referred to in paragraph 1, the applicable reduction in customs duty, the serial numbers and the group numbers shall be as set out in Annex I.
The provisions of Regulations (EC) No 1291/2000 and (EC) No 1301/2006 shall apply, save as otherwise provided for in this Regulation.
The quantity fixed for the annual quota period for each serial number shall be divided among four subperiods, as follows:
(a) 25 % from 1 January to 31 March;
(b) 25 % from 1 April to 30 June;
(c) 25 % from 1 July to 30 September;
(d) 25 % from 1 October to 31 December.
1. For the purposes of applying Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006, applicants for import licences shall, when submitting the first application for a given tariff quota period, provide proof that they imported or exported at least 50 tonnes of products covered by Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 in each of the two periods referred to in that Article 5.
2. Licence applications shall mention only one of the serial numbers indicated in Annex I. They may concern several products covered by different CN codes. If they do, all the CN codes and their designations must be entered in boxes 16 and 15 of the licence application and the licence respectively.
Licence applications must be for a minimum of 10 tonnes and a maximum of 10 % of the quantity available for the quota concerned in the subperiod in question.
3. The licences shall carry an obligation to import from Israel.
Licence applications and licences themselves shall contain:
(a) in box 8, the country of origin and the entry ‘yes’ marked by a cross;
(b) in box 20, one of the entries indicated in Annex II, Part A.
Box 24 of the licence shall contain one of the entries indicated in Annex II, Part B.
1. Licence applications may be submitted only in the first seven days of the month preceding each of the subperiods referred to in Article 3.
2. A security of EUR 20 per 100 kilograms shall be lodged when an application for a licence is submitted.
3. Not later than the fifth day following the end of the period for submission of applications, Member States shall notify the Commission of the total quantities, in kilograms, applied for in respect of each group.
4. Licences shall be issued as of the seventh working day and at the latest by the eleventh working day following the end of the notification period provided for in paragraph 3.
5. If necessary, the Commission shall establish any quantities that have not been applied for, and these shall be added automatically to the quantity for the following quota subperiod.
1. By way of derogation from the second subparagraph of Article 11(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006, Member States shall notify the Commission by the end of the first month of each quota subperiod of the total quantities, in kilograms, for which licences have been issued, as referred to in Article 11(1)(b) of that Regulation.
2. Member States shall notify the Commission, before the end of the fourth month following each annual quota period, of the quantities, in kilograms, under each serial number actually released for free circulation under this Regulation in the period concerned.
3. By way of derogation from the second subparagraph of Article 11(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006, Member States shall notify the Commission of the quantities, in kilograms, to which unused or partially used import licences relate, first when the application for the last subperiod is sent, and again before the end of the fourth month following each annual period.
1. By way of derogation from Article 23 of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000, import licences shall be valid for 150 days from the first day of the subperiod for which they are issued.
2. Without prejudice to Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000, the rights deriving from the licences may be transferred only to transferees satisfying the eligibility conditions set out in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 and Article 4(1) of this Regulation.
The imported products shall be released for free circulation on presentation of a proof of origin in accordance with Article 16 of Protocol 4 annexed to the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the State of Israel, of the other part.
Regulation (EC) No 2497/96 is hereby repealed.
References to the repealed Regulation shall be construed as references to this Regulation and shall be read in accordance with the correlation table in Annex III.
