of 8 August 1990
preventing trade by the Community as regards Iraq and Kuwait
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Whereas the serious situation resulting from the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq, which was the subject of United Nations Security Council Resolution 660 (1990) of 2 August 1990, has led to a declaration by the Community and its Member States, adopted on 4 August 1990 in the framework of political cooperation, condemning outright the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq and demanding an immediate and unconditional withdrawal of Iraqi forces from the territory of Kuwait, as well as to the Decision that economic measures will be taken against Iraq;

of 28 January 2002
amending Regulation (EC) No 1599/1999 imposing a definitive countervailing duty on imports of stainless steel wire having a diameter of 1 mm or more, originating in India
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2026/97 of 6 October 1997 on protection against subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Community(1), and in particular Article 20 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE
(1) By Regulation (EC) 1599/1999(2), the Council imposed a definitive countervailing duty on imports of stainless steel wire having a diameter of 1 mm or more (hereinafter referred to as "the product concerned") falling within CN code ex 7223 00 19 originating in India. The measures took the form of ad valorem duties of between 0 and 35,4 % on individual exporters with a residual duty of 48,8 %.
B. CURRENT PROCEDURE
1. Request for review
(2) After the definitive measures had been imposed, the Commission received a request for the initiation of an accelerated review of Regulation (EC) No 1599/1999, pursuant to Article 20 of Regulation (EC) No 2026/97 (hereinafter referred to as "the basic Regulation"), from two Indian producers of the product concerned, Sindia Steels Limited and Nevatia Steel & Alloys Private Limited ("Nevatia"), both located in Mumbai. The companies concerned claimed that they were not related to any other exporting producers of the product concerned in India. Furthermore, they claimed that they had not exported the product concerned during the original period of investigation (1 April 1997 to 31 March 1998), but had exported the product concerned to the Community since then.
2. Initiation of an accelerated review
(3) The Commission examined the evidence submitted by the two Indian exporting producers concerned and considered it sufficient to justify the initiation of a review in accordance with the provisions of Article 20 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 a notice in the Official Journal(3), an accelerated review of Regulation (EC) No 1599/1999 with regard to the companies concerned and commenced its investigation.
3. Product concerned
(4) The product covered by the current review is the same product as that under consideration in Regulation (EC) No 1599/1999.
4. Parties concerned
(5) The Commission officially advised the two companies concerned and the Government of India (GOI). 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 was received by the Commission.
The Commission sent a questionnaire to the companies concerned and received full replies within the deadline. The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed necessary for the purpose of the investigation and carried out verification visits at the premises of the companies concerned.
5. Investigation period
(6) The investigation of subsidisation covered the period from 1 April 1998 to 31 March 1999 (hereinafter referred to as "the investigation period").
6. Methodology
(7) The same methodology as that used in the original investigation was applied in the current investigation.
C. SCOPE OF THE REVIEW
(8) As no request for a review of the findings on injury was made in this investigation, this review was limited to subsidisation.
(9) The Commission examined the same subsidy schemes which were analysed in the original investigation. It was also examined whether the exporting producers had used any subsidy schemes which were alleged in the original complaint but not used during the original investigation.
It was finally examined whether the exporting producers had made use of any subsidy schemes which were established after the end of the original investigation period, or had received ad hoc subsidies after this date.
D. RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION
1. Withdrawal of request for review
(10) During the investigation, one company, Nevatia, withdrew its request for an accelerated review. Therefore, the investigation regarding this company shall be terminated. Consequently, the further analysis only refers to the other request for an accelerated review, i.e. by Sindia Steels Limited.
2. New exporter qualification
(11) The investigation confirmed that Sindia Steels Limited had not exported the product concerned during the original period of investigation and that they had begun exporting to the Community after this period.
Furthermore, Sindia Steels Limited was able to demonstrate satisfactorily that it did not have any links, direct or indirect, with any of the Indian exporting producers subject to the countervailing measures in force with regard to the product concerned.
Accordingly, it is confirmed that Sindia Steels Limited should be considered as a new exporter in accordance with Article 20 of the basic Regulation, since it was not individually investigated during the original investigation for reasons other than a refusal to cooperate with the Commission, and thus an individual countervailing duty rate should be determined for it.
3. Subsidisation
(12) On the basis of the information contained in the replies to the Commission's questionnaire, the following five schemes were investigated:
- Passbook Scheme,
- Duty Entitlement Passbook Scheme,
- Export Promotion Capital Goods Scheme,
- Export Processing Zones/Export Oriented Units,
- Income Tax Scheme.
4. Passbook Scheme (PBS)
(13) Sindia Steels Limited had not availed itself of the Passbook Scheme which, on 1 April 1997, i.e. during the original investigation period, was abolished and replaced by its successor, the Duty Entitlement Passbook Scheme (DEPB).
5. Duty Entitlement Passbook Scheme (DEPB)
General
(14) It was established that Sindia Steels Limited had received benefits under this scheme. This company made use of the DEPB on a post-export basis.
Under this scheme, any eligible exporter can apply for credits which are calculated as a percentage of the value of exported finished products. Such DEPB rates have been established by the Indian authorities for most products, including the products concerned, on the basis of the Standard Input/Output Norms (SION). A licence stating the amount of credit granted is issued automatically.
DEPB on post-export basis allows for the use of such credits for any subsequent imports (e.g. raw materials or capital goods) except for goods the importation of which is restricted or prohibited. Such imported goods can be sold on the domestic market (subject to sales tax) or used otherwise.
DEPB credits are freely transferable. The DEPB licence is valid for a period of 12 months from the date on which the licence is granted.
(15) The characteristics of the DEPB have not changed since the original investigation. The scheme is a subsidy contingent upon export performance, and it was therefore determined during the original investigation that it is deemed to be specific and countervailable under Article 3(4)(a) of the Basic Regulation.
Calculation of the subsidy amount
(16) It was established that Sindia Steels Limited did not use the licences to make duty-free imports. Instead this company sold some of its licences, and the benefit was calculated on the basis of the amount of credit in the licence regardless of the sale price of the licence. The company claimed that the benefit should be limited to the effective sale price of the licence, which is often less than the face value of the credits in the licence. However, in accordance with the findings in the initial investigation (Commission Regulation (EC) No 618/1999(4), recital 34, as confirmed by Regulation (EC) No 1599/1999), this claim cannot be granted since the sale of a licence at a price less than the face value is a purely commercial decision which does not alter the countervailable benefit from this scheme.
As in the original investigation, the total value of the subsidy has been allocated over total exports in the investigation period. Where the company made duly substantiated claims for deductions linked to the payment of fees for obtaining the DEPB Licence, these were granted.
Sindia Steels Limited benefited from this scheme during the investigation period and obtained subsidies of 15,5 %.
6. Export Promotion Capital Goods Scheme (EPCGS)
General
(17) It was established that Sindia Steels Limited had availed itself of this scheme.
To benefit from the scheme, a company must provide to the relevant authorities details of the type and value of capital goods which are to be imported. Depending on the level of export commitment which the company is prepared to undertake, the company will be allowed to import capital goods at either a zero rate of duty or a reduced rate. A licence authorising the import at preferential rates is issued automatically.
In order to meet the export obligation, goods exported must have been produced using the imported capital goods.
An application fee is payable to obtain a licence.
(18) The characteristics of the EPCGS have not changed since the original investigation. It was determined during the original investigation that the EPCGS is a countervailable subsidy, as the payment by an exporter of a reduced or zero rate of duty constitutes a financial contribution by the GOI, government revenue otherwise due being foregone, and a benefit is conferred on the recipient by lowering the duties payable or fully exempting him from paying the import duties.
The subsidy is contingent in law upon export performance within the meaning of Article 3(4)(a) of the basic Regulation, since it cannot be obtained without a commitment to export goods, and is therefore deemed to be specific and countervailable.
Calculation of the subsidy amount
(19) Using the same calculation methodology as in the original investigation, the benefit to the exporter has been calculated on the basis of the amount of unpaid customs duty due on imported capital goods by spreading this amount across a period which reflects the normal depreciation of such capital goods in the industry of the product concerned. This period has been established by using the weighted average (on the basis of production volume of the products concerned) of depreciation periods for capital goods actually imported under the EPCGS by Indian producers during the original investigation period, resulting in a normal depreciation period of 15,5 years. This amount has then been allocated over total exports during the investigation period.
(20) Sindia Steels Limited obtained a benefit under this scheme of 0,3 %.
7. Export Processing Zones (EPZ)/Export Oriented Units (EOU)
(21) It was established that Sindia Steels Limited was not located in an EPZ and was not an EOU.
8. Income Tax Exemption Scheme (ITES)
(22) It was established that Sindia Steels Limited had not availed itself of the ITES.
9. Other schemes
(23) It was established that Sindia Steels Limited had neither made use of new subsidy schemes which were established after the end of the original investigation period, nor had it received any ad hoc subsidies after this date.
10. Amount of countervailable subsidies
(24) Taking account of the definitive findings relating to the various schemes as set out above, the amount of countervailable subsidies for Sindia Steels Limited is as follows:
>TABLE>

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products(1), and in particular Article 30(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 20a of Commission Regulation (EC) No 174/1999 of 26 January 1999 laying down special detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 as regards export licences and export refunds in the case of milk and milk products(2) lays down the rules for administering the milk powder quota for exports to the Dominican Republic under the Memorandum of Understanding between the European Community and the Dominican Republic, approved by Council Decision 98/486/EC(3).
(2) To enable operators of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia to apply for export licences for the quota for exports to the Dominican Republic for the period from 1 July 2004 to 30 June 2005, the application period should be postponed.
(3) In order to ensure a more accurate checking of products exported and to minimise the risk of speculation, export licences issued in accordance with Article 20a(12) of Regulation (EC) No 174/1999 should be valid only for the product code for which they are issued. Therefore the exceptions provided for in Article 5(2) and (3) should no longer apply to licences issued as from the next quota year.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 174/1999 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 789/2001 of 24 April 2001 reserving to the Council implementing powers with regard to certain detailed provisions and practical procedures for examining visa applications(1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 790/2001 of 24 April 2001 reserving to the Council implementing powers with regard to certain detailed provisions and practical procedures for carrying out border checks and surveillance(2),
Having regard to the initiative of the French Republic,
Whereas:
(1) It is necessary to adapt the Common Consular Instructions on Visas and the Common Manual in order to facilitate the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1091/2001 of 28 May 2001 on freedom of movement with a long-stay visa(3).
(2) This Decision builds on the Schengen acquis, in accordance with the Protocol integrating it into the framework of the European Union, as laid down by Annex A to Council Decision 1999/435/EC of 20 May 1999 concerning the definition of the Schengen acquis for the purpose of determining, in conformity with the relevant provisions of the Treaty establishing the European Community and the Treaty on European Union, the legal basis for each of the provisions or decisions which constitute the acquis(4).
(3) 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 participating in the adoption of this instrument, and is therefore not bound by it or subject to its application. Given that this Decision aims to build upon the Schengen acquis under the provisions of Title IV of the Treaty establishing the European Community, Denmark shall, in accordance with Article 5 of the said Protocol, decide within a period of six months after the Council has adopted this Decision whether it will transpose it into its national law.
(4) As regards the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway, this Decision constitutes a development of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement concluded on 18 May 1999 by the Council of the European Union and those two States(5).
(5) Pursuant to Article 1 of the Protocol on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Ireland and the United Kingdom are not participating in the adoption of this Decision. Consequently, and without prejudice to the provisions referred to in Article 4 of the Protocol, the provisions of this Decision apply neither to Ireland nor to the United Kingdom,
The third subparagraph of section 2.3 of Part V of the Common Consular Instructions on Visas shall be replaced by the following: "In cases where the applicants come under the categories listed in Annex 5B subject to consultation with a central authority - of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or of another body - (Article 17(2) of the Convention), uniform visas and long-stay visas valid concurrently as short-stay visas shall be issued according to the procedure outlined below."
Part VI of the Common Consular Instructions on Visas is hereby amended as follows:
1. In the second subparagraph of section 1.1, "valid for" heading:
(a) the introductory wording shall be replaced by the following: "This heading may only be completed in one of the following four ways:";
(b) the following shall be added: "(d) Schengen State (using the abbreviations in (b)) which issued the national long-stay visa + Schengen States:";
(c) The following shall be inserted as a third indent: "- When the sticker is used to issue a national long-stay visa valid concurrently as a uniform short-stay visa for a maximum period of three months from its initial date of validity, this heading is to be filled in with the Member State which issued the national long-stay visa, followed by 'Schengen States'";
2. The following shall be added to the first subparagraph of section 1.7, "type of visa" heading: "D + C: national long-stay visa valid concurrently as a short-stay visa".
An example, as set out in the Annex to this Decision, of the method of filling in a visa-sticker for the issue of a national long-stay visa valid concurrently as a uniform short-stay visa shall be added to Annex 13 to the Common Consular Instructions on Visas and to Annex 6a of the Common Manual.
This Decision shall apply from 15 June 2001.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 of 20 March 2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 7(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to the first subparagraph of Article 6(2) and in accordance with Article 17(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, the Czech Republic’s application to register the name ‘Olomoucké tvarůžky’ was published in the Official Journal of the European Union
(2).
(2) Germany, on 7 January 2008, and Austria, on 31 January 2008 and 4 February 2008, submitted objections to the registration under Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006. The objections were deemed admissible under points (a), (c) and (d) of the first subparagraph of Article 7(3) of that Regulation.
(3) By letters dated 6 May 2008, the Commission asked the Member States concerned to seek agreement among themselves in accordance with their internal procedures.
(4) Given that no agreement was reached between the Czech Republic and Austria nor between the Czech Republic and Germany within the designated time-frame, the Commission should adopt a decision in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 15(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006.
(5) Concerning the alleged failure of compliance with Article 2 in respect of the lack of specificity of the product, the product specification sets out details relating to the production process and characteristics of the final product, in particular the organoleptic characteristics thereof, that do not give rise to there being any manifest error.
(6) Regarding the objection that pursuant to Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 only a group shall be entitled to apply for registration it is to be noted that in the present case the applicant group was a single company that met the conditions for filing an application set out in Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1898/2006 (3), which lays down detailed rules of implementation of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006. Moreover, the applicant is the only producer in the designated region and the only producer of such a cheese in that area or its surrounding areas.
(7) The terms ‘Olmützer Quargel’ and ‘Olomoucké tvarůžky’ were found to be names of similar cheeses in German and Czech languages respectively and that the terms have common historic origins referring to the town of Olomouc in the Czech Republic. The statements of objection from Austria showed that trade marks including the term ‘Olmützer Quargel’ had been registered prior to the application for registration of the term ‘Olomoucké tvarůžky’ as a protected geographical indication. As the names have common origins and given the visual similarities between the products, the application of the protection envisaged by Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, and in particular point (b) of paragraph 1 thereof, could have the result that ‘Olomoucké tvarůžky’, if registered, would be found by a competent court to be protected against the use of the name ‘Olmützer Quargel’. The evidence therefore shows that the continued existence of the name ‘Olmützer Quargel’ would be jeopardised by the registration of ‘Olomoucké tvarůžky’, in accordance with Article 7(3)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006. Moreover, the evidence shows that the use of the name ‘Olmützer Quargel’ referred to a product having a common origin with ‘Olomoucké tvarůžky’, but was generally not meant to exploit the reputation of the latter name. For these reasons, and in the interests of fairness and traditional usage, the maximum transitional period foreseen by Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 should be foreseen.
(8) Concerning trade marks containing the term ‘Olmützer Quargel’ that were protected through registration or acquired by use prior to the application for registration of ‘Olomoucké tvarůžky’, the conditions of Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 not being met, the said trade marks cannot be invalidated nor can their continued use be hindered by virtue of the registration of ‘Olomoucké tvarůžky’ as a protected geographical indication, provided the general requirements under trademark legislation are otherwise met.
(9) The prohibition on registration of names that have become generic laid down in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 refers to the whole name proposed for registration. This does not prevent the registration of a name composed of more than one part, even if a component part of the name or a translation thereof may have generic status, provided the name as a whole has not become generic. Furthermore, a statement of objection pursuant to Article 7(3)(d) of the said Regulation, regarding the generic status of a name, is limited to the name for which registration is requested. While the name proposed for registration is ‘Olomoucké tvarůžky’ the evidence provided in the statements of objection referred to the alleged general use of the term ‘Olmützer Quargel’ in Germany and Austria, and not to that of ‘Olomoucké tvarůžky’. No evidence has been provided in the statements of objection to show general usage comprising or including the name proposed for registration.
(10) Whereas protection is granted for the term ‘Olomoucké tvarůžky’ as a whole, the non-geographical component of that term may be used, and used in translation, throughout the Union, provided the principles and rules applicable in the Union’s legal order are respected.
(11) In the light of the above, the name ‘Olomoucké tvarůžky’ should be entered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications subject to a transitional period of five years during which time the term ‘Olmützer Quargel’ may continue to be used in circumstances that, but for the transitional period, could be contrary to the protection provided for by Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006.
(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Protected Geographical Indications and Protected Designations of Origin,
The name contained in the Annex to this Regulation shall be entered in the register.
The term ‘Olmützer Quargel’ may be used to designate cheese not complying with the specification for ‘Olomoucké tvarůžky’ for a period of five years from the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.333333 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 February 2005 on maximum residue levels of pesticides in or on food and feed of plant and animal origin and amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 18(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) For chlorantraniliprole (DPX E-2Y45) MRLs are set in Part A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.
(2) In accordance with Article 8(4) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (2), on 23 August 2010 France notified to the Commission the temporary authorisation of a plant protection product containing chlorantraniliprole (DPX E-2Y45) to be used on carrots to control carrot flies, a danger that was unforeseeable and could not be contained by any other means. Consequently, France has notified to the other Member States, the Commission and the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) in accordance with Article 18(4) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 that it has authorised the placing on the market in its territory of carrots containing pesticide residues higher than the applicable MRL. France also submitted an appropriate risk assessment concluding that such carrots do not constitute an unacceptable risk, in particular that the proposed increased residue level does not lead to a risk for any consumer.
(3) The Authority assessed the risk assessment submitted by France, examining in particular the risks to the consumer and where relevant to animals. The Authority gave a reasoned opinion on the proposed MRL (3). In this opinion the Authority found the proposed MRL acceptable with regard to consumer safety on the basis of a consumer exposure assessment for 27 specific European consumer groups.
(4) Based on the reasoned opinion of the Authority and taking into account the factors relevant to the matter, it is considered that the proposed MRL fulfils the requirements of Article 18(4) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and neither the European Parliament nor the Council has opposed them,
Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 governing the compensation were amended with effect from 13 November 1988 by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3468/88 (3); whereas that date divides into two periods the last calendar quarter of 1988;
Whereas the compensation is granted, under certain conditions, to Community tuna producer's organizations in respect of quantities of tuna delivered to the canning industry, during period for which prices were recorded, where the average quarterly price recorded on the Community market and the free-at-frontier price are both lower than 93 % of the Community producer price;
Whereas under these arrangements the situation on the Community market should be examined in order to determine the maximum amount of the compensation, in accordance with the first and second indents of Article 17 a (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81, for the period 13 November to 31 December 1988; whereas this examination has shown that for some species and presentations of the product in question, during the period concerned, both the average quarterly market price and the free-at-frontier price referred to in Article 17 a of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 were lower than 93 % of the Community producer price in force as determined by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3765/87 of 14 December 1987 fixing the Community producer price for tuna intended for the canning industry for the 1988 fishing year (4);
Whereas the quantities eligible for compensation, within the meaning of Article 17 a (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81, may not under any circumstances exceed, for the quarter concerned, the limite laid down in paragraph 4 of that Article;
Whereas in the case of albacore weighing more than 10 kilograms none of those limits is exceeded and consequently there is no need to determine the maximum quantities in respect of which the allowance may be granted;
Whereas in the case of albacore weighing not more than 10 kilograms, on the other hand, the quantities sold and delivered during the period concerned within the meaning of Article 17 a (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 were greater than those sold and delivered during the same period of the preceding three fishing years as referred to in the second indent of paragraph 4 of that Article; whereas they should therefore be limited to the average of the quantities sold and delivered during the same period of the fishing years 1985, 1986 and 1987 and the quantities granted to each producers' organization should be determined in accordance with Article 17 a (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,
The compensation referred to in Article 17 a of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 shall be granted in respect of products delivered to the canning industry during the period 13 November to 31 December 1988, under the conditions laid down below:
1.2 // Products // Maximum amount of allowance within the meaning of the first and second indents of Article 17 a (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 (ECU/tonne) // // // Albacore tuna, whole, weighing more than 10 kg // 6 // // // Albacore tuna, whole, weighing not more than 10 kg // 130 // //
In the case of albacore tuna weighing not more than 10 kilograms the quantities that may be eligible for the allowance are hereby limited to 2 472 tonnes.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 38/2007
of 17 January 2007
opening a standing invitation to tender for the resale for export of sugar held by the intervention agencies of Belgium, the Czech Republic, Spain, Ireland, Italy, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Sweden
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the market in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Articles 40(1)(g) and 40(2)(d) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 39(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 952/2006 of 29 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 as regards the management of the Community market in sugar and the quota system (2) provides that the intervention agencies may sell sugar only after a decision to that effect has been adopted by the Commission.
(2) Belgium, the Czech Republic, Spain, Ireland, Italy, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Sweden have intervention stocks of sugar. In order to respond to market needs, it is appropriate to open a standing invitation to tender to make these stocks available for export.
(3) In order to prevent any abuse associated with the re-import or re-introduction into the Community of sugar sector products that have qualified for export refunds, no export refund should be fixed for the countries of the western Balkans.
(4) To take account of the situation on the Community market, provision should be made for the Commission to fix a maximum export refund for each partial invitation to tender.
(5) The intervention agencies of Belgium, the Czech Republic, Spain, Ireland, Italy, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Sweden should communicate the tenders to the Commission. The tenderers should remain anonymous.
(6) Pursuant to Article 42(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 952/2006, the price to be paid by the successful tenderer should be determined by the invitation to tender.
(7) Pursuant to Article 42(2)(e) of Regulation (EC) No 952/2006, it is appropriate to determine the period of validity of the export licences.
(8) In order to ensure proper management of sugar in storage, provision should be made for a communication from the Member States to the Commission on the quantities actually sold and exported.
(9) The second paragraph of Article 59 of Regulation (EC) No 952/2006 provides that Commission Regulation (EC) No 1262/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards the buying-in and sale of sugar by intervention agencies (3) continues to apply to sugar accepted into intervention before 10 February 2006. However, for the resale of intervention sugar, this distinction is unnecessary and its implementation would create administrative difficulties for the Member States. It is therefore appropriate to exclude the application of Regulation (EC) No 1262/2001 to the resale of intervention sugar pursuant to this Regulation.
(10) The quantities available for a Member State that can be awarded when the Commission fixes the maximum export refund should take into account the quantities awarded pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1039/2006 of 7 July 2006 opening a standing invitation to tender for the resale on the Community market of sugar held by the intervention agencies of Belgium, the Czech Republic, Germany, Spain, Ireland, Italy, Hungary, Poland, Slovenia, Slovakia and Sweden (4).
(11) The Management Committee for Sugar has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The intervention agencies of Belgium, the Czech Republic, Spain, Ireland, Italy, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Sweden shall offer for sale by standing invitation to tender for export to all destinations excluding Albania, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Serbia, Kosovo and Montenegro a total quantity of 852 681 tonnes of sugar accepted into intervention and available for export. The maximum quantities involved per Member State are set out in Annex I.
1. The period during which tenders may be submitted in response to the first partial invitation to tender shall begin on 19 January 2007 and shall end on 24 January 2007 at 15.00, Brussels time.

— on 7 and 28 March 2007,
— on 18 and 25 April 2007,

— on 11 and 18 July 2007,
— on 8 and 29 August 2007,
— on 12 and 26 September 2007.
2. Tenders shall be lodged with the intervention agency holding the sugar as set out in Annex I.
The intervention agencies concerned shall communicate to the Commission tenders submitted within two hours after the expiry of the deadline for the submissions laid down in Article 2(1).
The tenderers shall not be identified.
Tenders submitted shall be communicated in electronic form according to be the model laid down in Annex II.
When no tenders are submitted, the Member State shall communicate this to the Commission within the same time limit.
1. The Commission shall fix a maximum export refund for white sugar and for raw sugar or decide not to accept the tenders in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 39(2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006.
2. The available quantity for a lot shall be reduced by the quantities awarded the same day for that lot by Regulation (EC) No 1039/2006.
Where an award at a maximum export refund set pursuant to paragraph 1 would result in that reduced available quantity for a lot being exceeded, that award shall be limited to that reduced available quantity.
Where awards for a Member State to all tenderers offering the same export refund for one lot would result in that reduced available quantity for that lot being exceeded, that reduced available quantity shall be awarded as follows:
(a) by division among the tenderers concerned in proportion of the total quantities in each of their tenders; or
(b) by apportionment among the tenderers concerned by reference to a maximum tonnage fixed for each of them; or
(c) by drawing of lots.
3. The price to be paid by the successful tenderer in accordance with article 42(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 952/2006 shall be EUR 632 per tonne for white sugar and EUR 497 per tonne for raw sugar.
1. Export licence applications and licences shall contain in box 20 one of the entries listed in Annex III.
2. Export licences issued in connection with a partial invitation to tender shall be valid from the day of issue until the end of the fifth calendar month following that in which the partial invitation was issued.
1. On the fifth working day at the latest after the Commission fixes the maximum export refund, the intervention agencies involved shall communicate to the Commission, in the form laid down in Annex IV, the exact quantity sold by partial invitation to tender.
2. Not later than the end of each calendar month in respect of the preceding calendar month, Member States shall notify to the Commission the quantities of sugar of the export licences returned to the competent authorities and the corresponding quantities of sugar exported, taking account of the tolerances permitted by Article 8(4) and (5) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 (5).
By way of derogation from the second paragraph of Article 59 of Regulation (EC) No 952/2006, that Regulation shall apply to the resale, as referred to in Article 1 of this Regulation, of sugar accepted into intervention before 10 February 2006.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Whereas:
(1) An invitation to tender for the export refund on rice was issued pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2010/2001(3).
(2) Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 584/75(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 299/95(5), allows the Commission to fix, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 and on the basis of the tenders submitted, a maximum export refund. In fixing this maximum, the criteria provided for in Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 must be taken into account. A contract is awarded to any tenderer whose tender is equal to or less than the maximum export refund.
(3) The application of the abovementioned criteria to the current market situation for the rice in question results in the maximum export refund being fixed at the amount specified in Article 1.

(2) On 23 March 2007, the Management Board of the Agency issued recommendations, following the evaluation of the Agency, regarding appropriate changes to Regulation (EC) No 460/2004.
(3) In line with the Commission's Better Regulation strategy, the Commission initiated a public consultation on the extension and future of the Agency, which was held from 13 June to 7 September 2007.
(4) Since the mandate of the Agency will expire on 13 March 2009 and in order to ensure consistency and continuity, it is necessary to adopt an extension which will enable further discussion about the Agency, reflecting the results of the Agency evaluation process, the Management Board recommendations and the ongoing review of the regulatory framework for electronic communications networks and services. It will also allow further reflection on the general direction of the European efforts towards an increased network and information security. The extension of the duration of the Agency should be without prejudice to the outcome of that discussion.
(5) The duration of the Agency should therefore be extended until 13 March 2012,

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 13(2) and Article 78(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, Council Directive 91/414/EEC (2) is to apply, with respect to the procedure and the conditions for approval, to active substances for which a decision has been adopted in accordance with Article 6(3) of that Directive before 14 June 2011. For acequinocyl the conditions of Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are fulfilled by Commission Decision 2003/636/EC (3).
(2) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the Netherlands received on 17 March 2003 an application from Agro-Kanesho Co. Ltd for the inclusion of the active substance acequinocyl in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Decision 2003/636/EC confirmed that the dossier was ‘complete’ in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(3) For that active substance, the effects on human and animal health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant. The designated rapporteur Member State, the Netherlands, submitted a draft assessment report on 8 March 2005. In accordance with Article 11(6) of Commission Regulation (EU) No 188/2011 (4) additional information was requested from the applicant on 13 July 2011. The evaluation of the additional data by the Netherlands was submitted in the format of an updated draft assessment report in November 2011.
(4) The draft assessment report was reviewed by the Member States and the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’). The Authority presented to the Commission its conclusion (5) on the peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance acequinocyl on 19 April 2013. The draft assessment report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 20 March 2014 in the format of the Commission review report for acequinocyl.
(5) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing acequinocyl may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) and Article 5(3) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve acequinocyl.
(6) In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is, however, necessary to include certain conditions and restrictions. It is, in particular, appropriate to require further confirmatory information.
(7) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before approval in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the approval.
(8) Without prejudice to the obligations provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as a consequence of approval, taking into account the specific situation created by the transition from Directive 91/414/EEC to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the following should, however, apply. Member States should be allowed a period of six months after approval to review authorisations of plant protection products containing acequinocyl. Member States should, as appropriate, vary, replace or withdraw authorisations. By way of derogation from that deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier, as set out in Directive 91/414/EEC, of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles.
(9) The experience gained from inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 (6) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the Directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I to that Directive or the Regulations approving active substances.
(10) In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (7) should be amended accordingly.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Approval of active substance
The active substance acequinocyl, as specified in Annex I, is approved subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Re-evaluation of plant protection products
1. Member States shall in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing acequinocyl as an active substance by 28 February 2015.
By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to this Regulation are met, with the exception of those identified in the column on specific provisions of that Annex, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to Directive 91/414/EEC in accordance with the conditions of Article 13(1) to (4) of that Directive and Article 62 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing acequinocyl as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances, all of which were listed in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 by 31 August 2014 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles, as referred to in Article 29(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to Directive 91/414/EEC and taking into account the column on specific provisions of Annex I to this Regulation. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
Following that determination Member States shall:
(a) in the case of a product containing acequinocyl as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 29 February 2016 at the latest; or
(b) in the case of a product containing acequinocyl as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 29 February 2016 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective act or acts which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC or approved that substance or those substances, whichever is the latest.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1839/95 of 26 July 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of tariff quotas for imports of maize and sorghum into Spain and imports of maize into Portugal (3) contains the rules governing the administration of those imports; whereas, however, there is nothing in that Regulation which provides for the adjustment of the reduction in the import duty granted under a tendering procedure according to the month of the import; whereas, in the case of maize and sorghum, the intervention price is adjusted between November and May to take account of monthly increases, and on 1 October to take account of the new harvest; whereas, to avoid disruptions on the market, Regulation (EC) No 1839/95 should be amended so as to introduce adjustments to the reduction corresponding to adjustments to the intervention price;

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 of 26 October 1971 on the common organisation of the market in seeds (2), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By letter dated 18 December 2006, the Finnish Government requested authorisation, from 1 January 2006 to 31 December 2006, to grant farmers aid for certain quantities of varieties of seeds and cereal seed produced solely in Finland because of its specific climatic conditions.
(2) Finland requests authorisation to grant aid per hectare for certain areas under Gramineae (grass) and Leguminosae (legumes) seeds species as listed in Annex XI to Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 of 29 September 2003 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers (3), with the exception of Phleum pratense L. (Timothy), and for certain areas under cereal seed.
(3) The proposed aid meets the requirements laid down in Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 1947/2005. It concerns seeds and cereal seed varieties for cultivation in Finland which are adapted to the weather conditions in that country and are not grown in other Member States. The Commission authorisation should be limited to the varieties included in the list of Finnish varieties which are cultivated only in Finland.
(4) Provision should be made for the Commission to be informed of the measures taken by Finland to comply with the limits laid down in this Decision,
Finland is authorised, from 1 January 2006 to 31 December 2006, to grant aid to growers established on its territory producing certified seeds and certified cereal seed referred to in the Annex, within the limits of the amounts laid down in that Annex.

Whereas the Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (1), and in particular Article 53(2), first subparagraph, thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 53 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 provides for the possibility to adopt appropriate Community emergency measures for food and feed imported from a third country in order to protect human health, animal health or the environment, where the risk cannot be contained satisfactorily by means of measures taken by the Member States individually.
(2) The European Commission was recently made aware that high levels of melamine were found in infant milk and other milk products in China. Melamine is a chemical intermediate used in the manufacture of amino resins and plastics and is used as a monomer and as an additive for plastics. High levels of melamine in food can result in very severe health effects.
(3) Imports of milk and milk products, including milk powder, originating from China are not allowed into the Community; however, certain composite products (i.e. products which contain at the same time a processed product of animal origin and a product of non-animal origin) containing processed milk components might have reached the European Union's markets.
(4) Although factual information available indicates that no composite products are imported which are intended for the particular nutritional uses of infants or young children, certain such composite products, depending of their specific formulation and in particular on the proportion of milk product content, could have been presented for import without undergoing systematic border checks pursuant to Decision 2007/275/EC concerning lists of animals and products to be subject to controls at border inspection posts under Council Directives 91/496/EEC and 97/78/EC. Taking into account that such products represent the primary, and in some cases sole, source of nourishment for infants and young children, it is appropriate to prohibit the import into the Community of any such products originating from China.
(5) As regards other composite products (such as biscuits and chocolate), which are only a minor part of a varied diet, after a request from the European Commission for an assessment of the risks related to the presence of melamine in composite product, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) issued a statement in which it concludes that the highest risk would be represented by a worst case scenario according to which children with high daily consumption of biscuits and chocolate containing the highest proportion of milk powder (which varies between 16 % and more than 20 %), with a contamination equal to the highest level found in milk powder from China, could potentially exceed the tolerable daily intake (TDI) of melamine (0.5 mg/kg body weight).
(6) In order to counter the risk for health that may result from exposure to the melamine content of such composite products, Member States should ensure that all composite products containing at least 15 % of milk product, originating from China, are systematically tested before import into the Community and that all such products which are shown to contain melamine in excess of 2,5 mg/kg are immediately destroyed. This maximum level responds to the need to ensure a large margin of safety. Precaution suggests that composite products, whose milk product content cannot be established, should also be tested. Member States should also ensure that composite products which are already present in the Community are appropriately tested and withdrawn from the market if necessary. The costs of tests at import and of official measures taken as regards products found to be non-compliant with the maximum level in question should be borne by the food business operator responsible for the products.
(7) In order for the Commission to be able to reassess appropriateness of these measures, Member States should inform the Commission of unfavourable results through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed and should report favourable results on a two-week basis.
(8) Given the urgency, pending the meeting of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, and after having informed the Chinese authorities, it is appropriate to adopt these interim protection measures in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 53(2), first subparagraph of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002.
(9) This Decision shall be reviewed in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 53(2), second subparagraph of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002,
1. Member States shall prohibit the import into the Community of composite products containing milk or milk products, intended for the particular nutritional use of infants and young children within the meaning of Council Directive 89/398/EEC on foods for particular nutritional uses, originating or consigned from China.
2. Member States shall carry out documentary, identity and physical checks, including laboratory analysis, on all consignments originating in or consigned from China of composite products containing more than 15 % of milk products, and on all consignments of such composite products whose amount of milk product content cannot be established. Such checks shall in particular aim at ascertaining that the level of melamine, if any, does not exceed 2,5 mg/kg product. Consignments shall be detained pending the availability of the results of the laboratory analysis.
3. Member States shall report any unfavourable result of the laboratory analysis referred to in paragraph 2 through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed. They shall report to the Commission on favourable results on a two-week basis.
4. Member States shall take the necessary measures to ensure that products referred to in paragraph 2 which are already placed on the market are subject to an appropriate level of controls aimed at ascertaining the level of melamine.
5. Any product found to contain melamine in excess of 2,5 mg/kg product, following controls performed in accordance with paragraphs 2 and 4, shall be destroyed without delay.
6. Member States shall ensure that the costs incurred in the implementation of paragraph 2 are borne by the operators responsible for the import, and that the cost of official measures taken as regards products found to be in excess of 2,5 mg/kg product are borne by the food business operator responsible for that product.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0.25 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

| Commission Regulation (EC) No 867/2002
of 24 May 2002
on the opening of a standing invitation to tender for the sale of lampante virgin olive oil held by the Italian intervention agency
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1638/98 of 20 July 1998 amending Regulation No 136/66/EEC on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats(1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1513/2001(2), and in particular Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Spanish, Greek and Italian intervention agencies bought in olive oil before 1 November 1998 under the arrangements for intervention buying-in. The legal basis for those arrangements was repealed with effect from 1 November 1998 by Regulation (EC) No 1638/98. The Italian intervention agency still has certain quantities of lampante virgin olive oil in stock. To ensure a smooth transition from the intervention buying-in arrangements to the current situation in which such arrangements no longer exist and in order to dispose of any quantity still available at the Community intervention centres, authorisation should be given for the sale of olive oil bought in by the Italian intervention agency under the repealed arrangements and still in stock in Italy.
(2) Article 2(1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2754/78 of 23 November 1978 on intervention in the olive oil sector(3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2203/90(4), lays down that the sale of olive oil held by intervention agencies must be by tender.
(3) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2960/77 of 23 December 1977 on detailed rules for the sale of olive oil held by intervention agencies(5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3818/85(6), lays down the conditions for the sale by tender of olive oil on the Community market and for export.
(4) Special rules must be laid down to ensure that the operations are properly carried out and monitored.
(5) To that end the Member State concerned must provide for all appropriate additional measures compatible with the provisions in force to ensure that the operations run smoothly and that the Commission is kept informed.
(6) The monitoring arrangements should accordingly be supplemented by allowing a reference sample to be taken.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
1. The Italian intervention agency, "Agenzia per le Erogazioni in Agricoltura", hereinafter referred to as "AGEA", shall open an invitation to tender in accordance with this Regulation and Regulations (EEC) No 2960/77 and (EEC) No 2754/78, for the sale on the Community market of lampante virgin olive oil. The quantity to be sold shall be approximately 697 tonnes.
2. Notwithstanding Article 5(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2960/77, where the quantity of oil in a container exceeds 500 tonnes, the Italian intervention agency shall be authorised to divide that quantity into several lots.
The invitation to tender shall be published on 7 June 2002.
Details of the lots of oil offered for sale and of the place where they are currently stored shall be displayed by AGEA at its central office: Via Palestro, 81 I - 00185 Rome.
A copy of the invitation to tender shall be sent forthwith to the Commission.
Tenders must reach AGEA, Via Palestro 81, I-00185 Rome, not later than 14.00 (local time) on 20 June 2002.
Unsold lots shall be offered for sale in a second invitation to tender. In that case, tenders must reach the intervention agency concerned not later than 14.00 (local time) on 5 July 2002.
1. With regard to lampante virgin olive oil, tenders shall be submitted for an oil of 3o acidity.
2. Where the oil awarded has a different degree of acidity to that for which the tender was submitted, the price to be paid shall be equal to the price tendered, increased or reduced in accordance with the scale below:
- up to 3o acidity:
increase of EUR 0,32 for each tenth of a degree of acidity below 3o,
- more than 3o acidity:
reduction of EUR 0,32 for each tenth of a degree of acidity above 3o.
Not later than two days after the expiry of the time limit laid down for the submission of tenders, the intervention agency concerned shall send the Commission a list, without names, stating the highest tender received for each lot offered for sale.
The minimum selling price per 100 kilograms of oil shall be fixed, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 38 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, on the basis of the tenders received, not later than the working day after the expiry of each deadline for the submission of tenders. The decision fixing the minimum selling price shall be notified immediately to the Member State concerned.
Without prejudice to Article 10 of this Regulation, the intervention agency concerned shall sell the olive oil not later than the fifth working day after the date of notification of the decision referred to in Article 6. The intervention agency shall send the storage agencies a list of the lots remaining unsold.
The security referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2960/77 shall be EUR 18 per 100 kilograms.
The storage charge referred to in Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 2960/77 shall be EUR 3 per 100 kilograms.
0
Without prejudice to Article 11(1) and (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2960/77, before the lot awarded is removed, the intervention agency concerned, the successful tenderer and the storage agency shall take a reference sample and test it in accordance with Article 2(4) and (5) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3472/85(7).
The intervention agency must have the final result of the tests on this sample not later than the thirtieth working day following the notification of the decision referred to in Article 6.
(a) If the final result of the tests on the sample indicates a difference between the quality of the olive oil to be removed and the quality of the oil as described in the invitation to tender, while confirming that the oil is still olive oil as referred to in point 1 of the Annex to Regulation No 136/66/EEC, the following provisions shall apply:
(i) the intervention agency shall, that same day, inform the Commission, in accordance with Annex I, and the storer and the successful tenderer thereof;
(ii) the successful tenderer may:
- either agree to take over the lot with its quality as established,
- or refuse to take over the lot in question, notwithstanding the declaration made in accordance with Article 7(6)(b) of Regulation (EEC) No 2960/77. In that case, the successful tenderers shall, that same day, inform the intervention agency concerned and the Commission thereof in accordance with Annex II.
Once these formalities have been completed, the successful tenderer shall be immediately released from all his obligations relating to the lot in question, including those relating to the securities.
(b) If the final result of the tests on the sample indicates that the oil is not olive oil as referred to in point 1 of the Annex to Regulation No 136/66/EEC:
- the intervention agency shall, that same day, inform the Commission, in accordance with Annex I, and the storer and the successful tenderer thereof,
- the successful tenderer shall give official notice, that same day, to the intervention agency concerned that he cannot take over the lot in question and shall inform the Commission thereof, that same day, in accordance with Annexes I and II.
Once these formalities have been completed, the successful tenderer shall be immediately released from all his obligations relating to the lot in question, including those relating to the securities.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 3223/94 of 21 December 1994 on detailed rules for the application of the import arrangements for fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1498/98(2), and in particular Article 4(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 3223/94 lays down, pursuant to the outcome of the Uruguay Round multilateral trade negotiations, the criteria whereby the Commission fixes the standard values for imports from third countries, in respect of the products and periods stipulated in the Annex thereto.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1667/2000(4), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provide that the difference between quotations of prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of each of those Regulations and the prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) 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 the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds(5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2390/2000(6), 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 B to Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Annex B to Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 as appropriate.
(3) 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.
(4) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. Whereas it is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. Whereas the fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(5) Now that a settlement has been reached between the European Community and the United States of America on Community exports of pasta products to the United States and has been approved by Council Decision 87/482/EEC(7), it is necessary to differentiate the refund on goods falling within CN codes 1902 11 00 and 1902 19 according to their destination.
(6) Pursuant to Article 4(3) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 provides that a reduced rate of export refund has to be fixed, taking account of the amount of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93(8), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 87/1999(9), for the basic product in question, used during the assumed period of manufacture of the goods.
(7) Spirituous beverages are considered less sensitive to the price of the cereals used in their manufacture. However, Protocol 19 of the Act of Accession of the United Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark stipulates that the necessary measures must be decided to facilitate the use of Community cereals in the manufacture of spirituous beverages obtained from cereals. Accordingly, it is necessary to adapt the refund rate applying to cereals exported in the form of spirituous beverages.
(8) It is necessary to ensure continuity of strict management taking account of expenditure forecasts and funds available in the budget.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products appearing in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 and listed either in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, exported in the form of goods listed in Annex B to Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Annex B to amended Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 respectively, are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 31 August 2001.

of 22 April 1988
concerning applications for refund of anti-dumping duties collected on certain imports of certain ball bearings originating in Singapore (NMB (Deutschland) GmbH)
(Only the German text is authentic)
(88/328/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 of 23 July 1984 on protection againsted dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1761/87 (2), and in particular Article 16 thereof,
Whereas:
A. Procedure
(1) On 19 July 1984, by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2089/84 (3), a definitive anti-dumping duty of 33,89 % was imposed on imports of certain ball bearings manufactured and exported by the Minebea group of companies and originating in Singapore.
(2) In 1985 and 1986 NMB (Deutschland) GmbH, Neu Isenburg, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Japanese mother company of the Minebea group, applied, on a regular basis, for the refund of anti-dumping duties amounting in total to DM . . . (4) paid on imports of the ball bearings during the two years in question. This amount represents part of the anti-dumping duties paid; a refund of the remainder was not requested.
(3) Following submissions by the applicant, additional information on certain costs, prices, commercial conditions and commercial activities of the Minebea group outside Singapore was requested by the Commission on the basis of the Commission notice concerning the reimbursement of anti-dumping duties (5) (hereinafter referred to as Notice). The applicant complied with all requests for additional information to the satisfaction of the Commission. Subsequently, the applicant was informed of the preliminary results of this examination and given an opportunity to comment on it. It did so, and the comments were taken into consideration prior to this Decision.
(4) The Commission informed the Member States and gave its opinion on the matter. No Member State disagreed with this opinion.
B. Argument of the applicant
(5) The applicant has based its claims on the allegation that, for certain sales in the Community, export prices were such that either dumping did not exist or that dumping existed at a level lower than the level of the definitive duty of 33,89 %.
C. Admissibility
(6) The applications are admissible since they were introduced in conformity with the relevant provisions of the Community's anti-dumping legislation, in particular that concerning time limits.
D. Merits of the claim
(7) The applications are founded in part; for the rest they are unfounded. According to Article 16 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84, anti-dumping duties paid by an importer shall be reimbursed if the importer shows that the duty collected exceeds the actual dumping margin, consideration being given to any application of weighted averages. Pursuant to Article 16 (1) and Part II of the Notice the applicant proved that the duty collected exceeded the actual dumping margin to varying degrees depending on the shipment and the bearing type partly as a result of normal value having decreased. To this extent the applications were founded and the applicant agrees with the Commission's calculation. The amount to be refunded is DM . . . .
(8) The applicant requests, however, the refund of an additional amount. For the determination of this additional amount, the applicant agrees with the Commission that, when calculating the dumping margin for the purpose of establishing whether it was exceeded by the level of duty or not, the export prices have to be constructed in accordance with Article 2 (8) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84.
Article 2 (8) (b) provides that an export price is constructed on the basis of the price at which the imported product is first resold to an independent buyer and that allowance shall be made for all costs incurred by the related importer between importation and resale, including customs duties, any anti-dumping duties and other taxes, and for a reasonable profit margin.
The applicant maintains, however, that in constructing the export price, the anti-dumping duty should not be deducted; this would then result in a lower dumping margin for the refund calculation and consequently in a higher amount to be refunded.
The applicant justifies its request by claiming that, as a result of the Commission's position, imports by independent importers are treated differently from imports by related importers.
The Commission has evaluated this argument; it does not find it acceptable.
It is of the opinion that the wording of Article 2 (8) (b) is clear: all duties, including anti-dumping duties have to be deducted from the resale price. The Commission would, therefore, by granting the applicant's request, infringe the express requirement of Article 2 (8) (b) and of Part II 2 (b) and (c) of the Notice. Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 establishes different rules for the determination of the export price in different situations depending on whether the importer is related to the exporter or not. This cannot be considered discriminatory.
The second essential argument by the applicant, who sold on a duty-paid basis, is that a simple increase of its resale price in the Community by an amount equivalent to the amount of the duty, would not allow it to qualify for a refund. The Commission stresses that, had the applicant sold on a duty unpaid basis, a single increase would have been sufficient to allow it to qualify for a refund.
Even where, as in the applicant's situation, the imported product was resold in the Community on a duty-paid basis, only one increase of the resale price by an amount equivalent to the amount of the duty is necessary, provided that the Commission is satisfied that in the particular circumstances of the case under consideration this increase in the price paid by the independent buyer eliminates or reduces the dumping margin and does not represent merely the anti-dumping duty which the importer could pass back to its customer if it obtained a refund. This could be the case, for example, if either the costs incurred between importation and resale by NMB or Minebea's normal value had been reduced since the original investigation period. In addition, other changes in circumstances could require the application of different adjustment or calculation methods which could lead to the same result, i.e. the elimination or reduction of the dumping margin by a single price increase. In the present case there is no evidence that these conditions are met.
For these reasons the applicant's request for the refund of an additional amount has to be rejected,
The refund applications submitted by NMB (Deutschland) GmbH, Neu Isenburg, for the years 1985 and 1986 are granted for DM . . . and rejected for the remainder.
The amount set out in Article 1 shall be refunded by the authorities of the Federal Republic of Germany.
This Decision is addressed to the Federal Republic of Germany and NMB (Deutschland) GmbH, Neu Isenburg, Federal Republic of Germany. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice (1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 192/98 (2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 6(5) thereof,
Whereas Article 6(5) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 lays down that where the areas given over to rice in a given year exceed a specific base area, a reduction in the compensatory payment shall be applied to all producers in the base area in question for the same production year;
Whereas Article 6(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 613/97 of 8 April 1997 laying down rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 as regards the conditions for granting compensatory payments under the aid scheme for rice producers (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1305/97 (4), lays down that the notifications from the Member States may, under certain conditions, be corrected and that, after checking the corrected information, the Commission must, where appropriate, recalculate the size of the reductions established pursuant to Article 6(5) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95;
Whereas Spain has submitted a corrected notification regarding the area given over to rice in 1997; whereas that area is lower than the national base area established for that Member State; whereas, after analysing the information, the reduction in the compensatory payment laid down for Spain by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2050/97 (5) should be cancelled;

Whereas:
(1) Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006 lays down that the quantities of cereals eligible for the refund are to be the quantities placed under control and distilled, weighted by a coefficient to be fixed annually for each Member State concerned. The coefficient is to express the average ratio between the total quantities exported and the total quantities marketed of the spirit drink concerned, on the basis of the trend noted in those quantities during the number of years corresponding to the average ageing period of the spirit drink in question.
(2) According to the information provided by Ireland in respect of the period 1 January to 31 December 2010, the average ageing period for Irish whiskey in 2010 was 5 years.
(3) The coefficients for the period 1 October 2011 to 30 September 2012 should therefore be fixed accordingly.
(4) Article 10 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement on the European Economic Area excludes the grant of refunds in respect of exports to Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway. Moreover, the Union has concluded agreements abolishing export refunds with certain third countries. Under the terms of Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006, that should be taken into account in calculating the coefficients for 2011/12.
(5) Commission Regulation (EU) No 1116/2010 of 2 December 2010 fixing the coefficients applicable to cereals exported in the form of Irish whiskey for the period 2010/11 (3) has exhausted its effects, as it concerns the coefficients applicable for the year 2010/11.

Whereas, according to information supplied by the Member States, the intervention measures taken by the Community for the 1991/92 marketing year related to 95 278 tonnes for mandarins and 156 529 tonnes for satsumas; whereas the Commission therefore notes an overrun in the intervention thresholds fixed for that marketing year of 59 478 tonnes for mandarins and 122 029 tonnes for satsumas;
Whereas, consequently, the basic and buying-in prices for mandarins and satsumas for the 1992/93 marketing year, as fixed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1378/92 of 21 May 1992 fixing for the 1992/93 marketing year certain prices and other amounts in the fruit and vegetables sector (9), must be reduced by 19 % for mandarins and by 20 % for satsumas; whereas the reductions must be added to those resulting from the monetary realignments of 13 to 17 September 1992; whereas the resulting total reduction is 19,21 % for mandarins and 20,21 % for satsumas;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 18b (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, withdrawals on the territory of the former German Democratic Republic before the end of the 1991/92 marketing year are not to be taken into consideration in determining whether intervention thresholds have been exceeded;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
The basic and buying-in prices for mandarins and satsumas for the 1992/93 marketing year, as fixed by Regulation (EEC) No 1378/92, shall be reduced by 19,21 % for mandarins and 20,21 % for satsumas and shall be as set out in the Annex.

Whereas the first subparagraph of Article 8 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1799/76 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1224/90 (4), provides that growers of linseed are to submit a declaration of areas sown not later than 15 June each year; whereas 20 May would be a better date if the aid scheme is to operate smoothly;
Whereas the second subparagraph of Article 8 (1) of that Regulation permits growers to amend the area declared by 15 June at the latest if the latter proves to be greater than that on which seeds emerge; whereas 5 June would be a more suitable deadline;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1208/87 (5) inadvertently deleted the provision of Article 9 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1799/76 providing for a penalty proportionate to the length of the period over the deadline for growers who fail to submit their crop declarations on time; whereas provision should be made for growers who have not received the aid as a result to be able to submit aid applications before a given date;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
Regulation (EEC) No 1799/76 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 8 (1) is replaced by the following:
'Except in cases of force majeure, all growers of linseed shall submit declarations of areas sown by no later than 20 May each year in respect of the following marketing year.
If the area on which seeds emerge proves to be smaller than that indicated in the declaration, the declarant must forward the relevant figures to the competent authorities by 5 June that year at the latest.';
2. the following subparagraph is added to Article 9 (1):
'However, except in cases of force majeure, if the crop declaration is submitted:

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 of 24 February 1986 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1032/95 (2), and in particular Articles 13 (8), 14 (5) and 14a (7) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 of 22 December 1994 on the adjustments and transitional arrangements required in the agriculture sector in order to implement the agreements concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations (3), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1429/95 (4) sets implementing rules for export refunds on products processed from fruit and vegetables;
Whereas Article 13 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 states that, to the extent necessary to permit exports in economically significant quantities of the products referred to in Article 1 (1) (a) of that Regulation, on the basis of prices for those products in international trade, the difference between those prices and the prices in the Community may be covered by export refunds; whereas Article 14a (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 provides that, if the refund on sugar incorporated into the products listed in Article 1 (1) is insufficient to allow export of the products, the refund fixed in accordance with Article 14 is to be applicable to those products;
Whereas Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 states that refunds must be fixed with regard to the existing situation and outlook for prices for products processed from fruit and vegetables on the Community market and supply availability, on the one hand, and prices in international trade on the other hand; whereas account must also be taken of the costs indicated at (b) in that paragraph and of the economic aspect of the envisaged exports;
Whereas refunds are, pursuant to Article 13 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86, to be set with due regard to the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 228 of the Treaty;
Whereas Article 14 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 states that prices on the Community market are to be determined taking account of those most favourable from the exportation standpoint; whereas international trade prices are to be determined account taken of the prices indicated in the second subparagraph of that paragraph;
Whereas the international trade situation or the special requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund on a given product depending on the destination of that product;
Whereas economically significant exports can be made at the present time of provisionally preserved cherries, peeled tomatoes, preserved cherries, prepared hazelnuts and orange juice;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 990/93 (5) prohibits trade between the European Economic Community and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro); whereas this prohibition does not apply in certain situations, all of which are specified in Articles 2, 4, 5 and 7 thereof; whereas account should be taken of these in setting refunds;
Whereas the representative market rates as defined in Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 150/95 (7), are used to convert amounts in third-country currencies and are the basis for determining the agricultural conversion rates of the Member States' currencies; whereas rules for determining and applying these conversion rates were set by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1068/93 (8), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1053/93 (9);
Whereas application of the rules mentioned above to the present and forecast market situation, in particular to prices of products processed from fruit and vegetables in the Community and in international trade, leads to the refund rates set in the Annex hereto;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 13 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86, the most efficient possible use should be made of the resources available without creating discrimination between traders; whereas, therefore, care should be taken not to disturb the trade flows previously induced by the refund arrangements;
Whereas the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
1. The export refund rates and quantities eligible for refunds in the processed fruit and vegetables sector for licences with advance fixing of the refund issued between 1 July 1995 and 30 June 1996 shall be those fixed in the Annex hereto.
2.

of 8 June 1993
on shipments of radioactive substances between Member States
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular Articles 31 and 32 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1), drawn up after obtaining the opinion of a group of persons appointed by the Scientific and Technical Committee from among scientific experts in the Member States,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas on 2 February 1959 the Council adopted directives laying down the basic standards for the protection of the health of workers and the general public against the dangers arising from ionizing radiation (4), amended in particular by Directive 80/836/Euratom (5);
Whereas, pursuant to Article 3 of Directive 80/836/Euratom, each Member State must make compulsory the reporting of activities which involve a hazard arising from ionizing radiation; whereas, in the light of possible dangers and other relevant considerations, these activities are subject to prior authorization in cases decided upon by each Member State;
Whereas Member States have consequently set up systems within their territories in order to meet the requirements of Article 3 of Directive 80/836/Euratom; whereas, therefore, by means of the internal controls that Member States apply on the basis of national rules consistent with existing Community and any relevant international requirements, Member States continue to ensure a comparable level of protection within their territories;
Whereas shipments of radioactive waste between Member States and into and out of the Community are subject to the specific measures laid down by Directive 92/3/Euratom (6); whereas Member States are required to bring into force not later than 1 January 1994 the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with Directive 92/3/Euratom; whereas each Member State should be responsible for ensuring that its own radioactive waste is properly managed;
Whereas the removal of frontier controls in the Community as from 1 January 1993 has deprived the competent authorities of Member States of information previously received through those controls on shipments of radioactive substances; whereas there is a need for the competent authorities concerned to receive the same level of information as before to continue implementing their controls for radiation protection purposes; whereas a Community system of declaration and provision of information would facilitate the maintenance of radiation protection control; whereas a system of prior declaration is needed for shipments of sealed sources and radioactive waste;
Whereas special fissile materials as defined by Article 197 of the EAEC Treaty are subject to the provisions of Title II, Chapter VII — Safeguards of that Treaty; whereas the transport of such materials is subject to the obligations of the Member States and the Commission pursuant to the International Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Materials (IAEA.1980);
Whereas this Regulation is without prejudice to provision of information and to controls imposed for reasons other than radiation protection,
1. This Regulation shall apply to shipments, between Member States, of sealed sources and other relevant sources, whenever the quantities and concentrations exceed the levels laid down in Article 4 (a) and (b) of Directive 80/836/Euratom. It shall also apply to shipments of radioactive waste, between Member States, as covered by Directive 92/3/Euratom.
2. In the case of nuclear materials, each Member State carries out all necessary controls, within its own territory, in order to ensure that each consignee of such materials, which are the subject of a shipment from another Member State, complies with the national provisions implementing Article 3 of Directive 80/836/Euratom.
For the purposes of this Regulation:
— shipment means transport operations from the place of origin to the place of destination, including loading and unloading of radioactive substances,
— the holder of radioactive substances means any natural or legal person who, before carrying out a shipment, has the legal responsibility under national law for such materials and intends to carry out shipment to a consignee,
— the cosignee of radioactive substances means any natural or legal person to whom such material is shipped,
— sealed source has the meaning given to it in Directive 80/836/Euratom,
— other relevant source means any radioactive substance not being a sealed source intended for direct or indirect use of the ionizing radiation it emits for medical, veterinary, industrial, commercial, research or agricultural applications,
— radioactive waste has the meaning given to it in Directive 92/3/Euratom,
— nuclear materials means the special fissile materials, the source materials and the ores as defined in Article 197 of the EAEC Treaty,
— competent authorities means any authority responsible in the Member State for the application or administration of this Regulation or of any other authority designated by the Member State,
— activity has the meaning given to it in Directive 80/836/Euratom.
Controls of shipments of sealed sources, other relevant sources and radioactive waste between Member States, pursuant to Community or national law, for the purpose of radiation protection shall be performed as part of the control procedures applied in a non-discriminatory manner throughout the territory of the Member State.
1. A holder of sealed sources or radioactive waste who intends to carry out a shipment of such sources or waste, or to arrange for such a shipment to be carried out, shall obtain a prior written declaration by the consignee of the radioactive substances to the effect that the consignee has complied, in the Member State of destination, with all applicable provisions implementing Article 3 of Directive 80/836/Euratom and with relevant national requirements for safe storage, use or disposal of that class of source or waste.
The declaration shall be made by means of the standard documents set out in Annexes I and II to this Regulation.
2. The declaration referred to in paragraph 1 shall be sent by the consignee to the competent authority of the Member State to which the shipment is to be made. The competent authority shall confirm with its stamp on the document that it has taken note of the declaration and the declaration shall then be sent by the consignee to the holder.
1. The declaration referred to in Article 4 may refer to more than one shipment, provided that:
— the sealed sources or radioactive waste to which it relates have essentially the same physical and chemical characteristics,
— the sealed sources or radioactive waste to which it relates do not exceed the levels of activity set out in the declaration, and
— the shipments are to be made from the same holder to the same consignee and involve the same competent authorities.
2. The declaration shall be valid for a period of hot more than three years from the date of stamping by the competent authority as referred to in Article 4 (2).
A holder of sealed sources, other relevant sources and radioactive waste who has carried out a shipment of such sources or waste, or arranged for such a shipment to be carried out, shall, within 21 days of the end of each calendar quarter, provide the competent authorities in the Member State of destination with the following information in respect of deliveries during the quarter:
— names and addresses of consignees,
— the total activity per radionuclide delivered to each consignee and the number of such deliveries made,
— the highest single quantity of each radionuclide delivered to each consignee,
— the type of substance: sealed source, other relevant source or radioactive waste.
The first such return shall cover the period 1 July to 30 September 1993.
The competent authorities of Member States shall cooperate in ensuring the application and enforcement of this Regulation.
Member States shall forward to the Commission not later than 1 July 1993 the name(s) and the address(es) of the competent authorities as defined in Article 2 and all necessary information for rapidly communicating with such authorities.
Member States shall forward to the Commission any changes to such data.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1633/98 (2), and in particular Article 25 thereof,
Whereas, to help in determining the movement of prices on the market, the price on the representative markets of the Community must be derived from the prices recorded on the representative market or markets of each Member State for the various categories of bovine animals, taking into account the relative quantity of each of these categories and the relative size of the cattle population of each Member State;
Whereas the price recorded on the representative markets of the Community may be taken as the average of the prices of the bovine animals in question on the representative market or markets of each Member State; whereas this average should be weighted in accordance with the coefficients expressing the relative size of the cattle population of each Member State for each category marketed in a reference period;
Whereas the representative market or markets for each Member State should be selected on the basis of experience in recent years; whereas, moreover, where there is more than one representative market in a Member State the arithmetic average of the quotations recorded on these markets should be taken; whereas, in view of the experience gained, the markets of Luxembourg, Austria, Sweden and Finland should be excluded from the determination of prices in the Community because of the low representativity of the prices for live bovine animals in those Member States;
Whereas the price recorded on the market is based on the quotations, excluding tax, for live cattle; whereas, in certain Member States, the quotations are based on the quotations for meat; whereas a coefficient must therefore be fixed to convert these quotations;
Whereas, when the prices are recorded on the representative markets of the United Kingdom, allowance must be made for the relative importance of cattle farming as between Great Britain and Northern Ireland; whereas, to this end, the average price of adult bovine animals recorded on the markets of Great Britain and the average price of adult bovine animals recorded on the markets of Northern Ireland should be corrected by a coefficient reflecting the scale of production in these two regions of the United Kingdom;
Whereas to have a complete picture of the market situation at all times, it is necessary to know the prices of certain categories of cattle with a live weight of 300 kilograms or less;
Whereas Member States may, because of veterinary or health protection regulations, find it necessary to take measures which affect quotations; whereas, in such circumstances, it is not always suitable when recording market prices to take into account quotations which do not reflect the normal trend of the market; whereas, consequently, certain criteria should be laid down allowing the Commission to take account of that situation;
Whereas, to monitor better the Community market for categories of bovine animals other than adult bovines, provision should be made for a survey of prices for these categories; whereas for the Member States representative of these different types of bovine animals, Annexes III to V detailing the information to be provided for the price survey for each of these bovine animal categories should be established;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 610/77 of 18 March 1977 on the determination of prices of adult bovine animals on representative Community markets and the survey of prices of certain other cattle in the Community (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3270/94 (4), should be repealed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
1. The price of adult bovine animals on the representative Community markets shall be the average of the prices of adult bovine animals, weighted by the coefficients laid down in Annex I, recorded on the representative wholesale market or markets of each producer Member State.
2. The list of representative markets for bovine animals by Member State is laid down in Annexes II to V to this Regulation, based on the categories of bovine animals mentioned in these Annexes.
3. Member States shall inform the Commission of the representative markets for each category of bovine animal. This information may be revised in the light of how the marketing of bovine animals develops in each Member State.
The weighting coefficients referred to in paragraph 1 may be revised if changes are noted in the size of the cattle population in each Member State relative to cattle numbers in the Community.
1. The price of adult bovine animals on the representative market or markets of each Member State shall be the average, weighted by coefficients reflecting the relative size of each category and quality, of the prices recorded for the categories and qualities of adult bovine animals and the meat thereof during a seven-day period preceding the day of notification in that Member State at the same wholesale stage.
2. In Member States with several representative markets, the price of each category shall be the arithmetic average of the quotations recorded on each of these markets. Where markets are held more than once during the seven-day period referred to in paragraph 1, the price of each category shall be the arithmetic average of the quotations recorded each market day on the same market. If, in the course of any given week, the price is not recorded on a particular market for a particular category, the market price for that category in the Member State shall be the arithmetical average of the other markets.
3. In the United Kingdom, the weighted average price of bovine animals on the representative markets of Great Britain and of Northern Ireland shall be corrected by the respective special coefficients fixed in Section K(3) of Annex II.
4. Where quotations are not based on 'live weight excluding tax` prices, the quotations for the different categories and qualities shall be corrected by the live weight conversion coefficients laid down in Sections D, E, F, I and J of Annex II.
1. Member States shall inform the Commission not later than midday (Brussels time) on Thursday each week of the quotations for the categories of adult bovine animals recorded on their representative markets.
2. Where information is not available, the quotations recorded on the representative Community markets shall be determined with particular reference to the latest quotations known.
Where one or more Member States take measures for veterinary or health protection reasons which affect the normal movement in quotations recorded on their markets, the Commission may authorise the Member State:
- either to disregard the quotations recorded on the market or markets in question,
- or to use the last quotations recorded on the market or markets in question before those measures were put into effect.
1. The average Community price, per head, of male calves between eight days and three weeks old shall be the average of the prices of the bovine animals referred to above, weighted by the coefficients laid down in Annex III A, recorded on the main markets of the Member States representative of this type of production.
2. The prices of the bovine animals referred to in paragraph 1 recorded on the representative market or markets of each Member State concerned shall be the average, weighted by coefficients reflecting the relative proportion of each breed or quality, of the prices recorded exclusive of VAT for these animals during a seven-day period in that Member State at the same wholesale stage.
3. Annex III lays down:
(a) the weighting coefficients referred to in paragraph 1 and used to calculate the average Community price of the bovine animals referred to in that paragraph; these coefficients are established using the number of dairy cows recorded in the Community;
(b) the breeds and qualities of the animals;
(c) the weighting coefficients referred to in paragraph 2.
4. The Member States concerned shall inform the Commission not later than midday on Thursday each week of the quotations for the bovine animals referred to in paragraph 1 recorded on their representative markets during the seven-day period preceding the day on which the information is given.
1. The average Community price, by kilograms of live weight, of male store cattle aged on average between 6 and 12 months and weighing 300 kilograms or less, shall be the average of the prices of the bovine animals referred to above, weighted by the coefficients laid down in Annex IV A, recorded on the main markets of the Member States representative of this type of production.
2. The price of the bovine animals referred to in paragraph 1 recorded on the representative market or markets of each Member State concerned shall be the average, weighted by coefficients reflecting the relative proportion of each breed or quality, of the prices recorded exclusive of VAT for these animals during a seven-day period in that Member State at the same wholesale stage.
3. Annex IV lays down:
(a) the weighting coefficients referred to in paragraph 1 and used to calculate the average Community price of the bovine animals referred to in that paragraph; these coefficients are established using the number of suckler cows recorded in the Community;
(b) the breeds and qualities of the animals;
(c) the weighting coefficients referred to in paragraph 2.
4. The Member States concerned shall inform the Commission not later than midday on Thursday each week of the quotations for the bovine animals referred to in paragraph 1 recorded on their respective markets during the seven-day period preceding the day on which the information is given.
1. The average Community price, per 100 kilograms of carcase weight, of slaughter calves obtained principally using milk or milk preparations and slaughtered at around six months of age, shall be the average of the prices of the bovine animals referred to above, weighted by the coefficients laid down in Annex V A, recorded on the main markets of the Member States representative of this type of production.
2. The price of the bovine animals referred to in paragraph 1 recorded in the quotation centre or centres of the Member States concerned shall be the average, possibly weighted by coefficients reflecting the relative proportion of each quality, of the prices recorded exclusive of VAT for these animals during a seven-day period at the slaughterhouse entry stage.
3. Annex V lays down:
(a) the weighting coefficients referred to in paragraph 1 and used to calculate the average Community price of the bovine animals referred to in that paragraph; these coefficients are established using the net production (slaughterings) of calves in the Community;
(b) the qualities of such cattle;

| COMMISSION DECISION of 20 March 1998 terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of tungsten ores and concentrates originating in the People's Republic of China (98/229/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2331/96 (2), and in particular Articles 9 and 11 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
1. Measures in force
(1) By Regulation (EEC) No 2735/90 (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 610/95 (4), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of tungsten ores and concentrates originating in the People's Republic of China falling within CN code 2611 00 00.
2. Request for a review
(2) Following the publication in February 1995 of a Notice of the impending expiry (5) of the measures in force, the Commission received in June 1995 a request for a review lodged by EuromĂŠtaux, on behalf of the totality of Community producers of the product concerned. The request contained evidence that the expiry of the anti-dumping measures would be likely to result in a continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of an anti-dumping review.
(3) On 21 September 1995, the Commission announced, by a Notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (6), the initiation of a review of Regulation (EEC) No 2735/90 and commenced an investigation pursuant to Article 11(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 3283/94 (7), which was replaced during the investigation by Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (hereinafter referred to as the 'Basic Regulation`).
3. Investigation
(4) The Commission officially advised the producers/exporters and importers known to be concerned, the representatives of the exporting country and the Community producers of the initiation of the review, and gave the parties concerned the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time-limit set in the Notice referred to in recital 3.
(5) The present review exceeded the period of one year within which it should normally have been concluded pursuant to Article 11(5) of the Basic Regulation, since two other reviews concerning tungsten products, namely tungstic oxide and acid on the one hand, and tungsten carbide and fused carbide on the other hand, were carried out in parallel. In view of the links between the products in the production chain, it was decided to submit the results of all these investigations at the same time.
B. WITHDRAWAL OF THE REQUEST FOR AN EXPIRY REVIEW AND TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING
(6) In the course of the investigation, the complainant, EuromĂŠtaux, formally withdrew its request for the expiry review in view of a recent considerable decrease in imports of tungsten ores and concentrates originating in the People's Republic of China.
(7) In accordance with Article 11(5) in conjunction with Article 9(1) of the Basic Regulation, when the Community industry withdraws its request for an expiry review, the proceeding may be terminated unless such termination would not be in the Community interest. The present investigation has not brought to light any considerations of Community interest which would support the continuation of the proceeding.
(8) Therefore, interested parties were informed of the Commission's intention to terminate the proceeding and were given the opportunity to comment. No comments were received indicating that such termination would not be in the Community interest.
(9) The Advisory Committee has been consulted and has raised no objection.
(10) In the light of the above, the Commission has concluded that the continuation of protective measures is unnecessary and that the proceeding should be terminated,
The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of tungsten ores and concentrates falling under CN code 2611 00 00 and originating in the People's Republic of China, is hereby terminated. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 established a goods nomenclature, hereinafter called the combined nomenclature, to meet, at one and the same time, the requirements both of the Common Customs Tariff and of the external trade statistics of the Community;
Whereas it is necessary to amend the combined nomenclature to take account of:
- changes in requirements relating to statistics and commercial policy, in particular by virtue of Council Decision 94/800/EC of 22 December 1994 concerning the conclusion on behalf of the European Community, as regards matters within its competence, of the agreements reached in the Uruguay Round multilateral negotiations (1986-1994) () and Council Regulation (EC) No 3093/95 of 22 December 1995 laying down the rates of duty to be applied by the Community resulting from negotiations under GATT Article XXIV:6 consequent upon the accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden to the European Union (), as well as other measures adopted by the Council or by the Commission ();
- the need to align or clarify texts, in particular to take account of the Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Tariff and Statistical Nomenclature Section of the Customs Code Committee,
Without prejudice to Council Regulation (EC) No 344/96 of 26 Februari 1996 amending Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs tarif (), Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 is amended in accordance with the Annexes to this Regulation.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 of 29 December 1981 on the common organization of the market in fishery products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1495/89 (2), and in particular Article 2 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 provides for the possibility of adopting common marketing standards for fishery products in the Community, particularly in order to keep products of unsatisfactory quality off the market and to facilitate trade relations based on fair competition;
Whereas the adoption of such standards for preserved sardines is likely to improve the profitability of sardine production in the Community, and the market outlets therefor, and to facilitate disposal of the products;
Whereas it must be specified in this context, particularly in order to ensure market transparency, that the products concerned must be prepared exclusively with fish of the species ´Sardina pilchardus Walbaum' and must contain a minimum quantity of fish;

homogenized sardine flesh, involving the disappearance of its muscular structure, may contain the flesh of other fish which have undergone the same treatment provided that the proportion of sardines is at least 25 %.
(d) The trade description, as defined in this Article, shall be reserved for the products referred to in Article 2.
Where necessary, the Commission shall adopt, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 33 of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81, the measures necessary to apply this Regulation, in particular the sampling plan for assessing conformity of manufacturing batches with the requirements of this Regulation.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 30 October 2014
on the equivalence of the regulatory framework of Hong Kong for central counterparties to the requirements of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council on OTC derivatives, central counterparties and trade repositories
(2014/754/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 July 2012 on OTC derivatives, central counterparties and trade repositories (1) and in particular Article 25(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The procedure for recognition of central counterparties (‘CCPs’) established in third countries set out in Article 25 of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 aims to allow CCPs established and authorised in third countries whose regulatory standards are equivalent to those laid down in that Regulation to provide clearing services to clearing members or trading venues established in the Union. That recognition procedure and the equivalence decision provided for therein thus contribute to the achievement of the overarching aim of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 to reduce systemic risk by extending the use of safe and sound CCPs to clear over-the-counter (‘OTC’) derivative contracts, including where those CCPs are established and authorised in a third country.
(2) In order for a third country legal regime to be considered equivalent to the legal regime of the Union in respect of CCPs, the substantial outcome of the applicable legal and supervisory arrangements should be equivalent to Union requirements in respect of the regulatory objectives they achieve. The purpose of this equivalence assessment is therefore to verify that the legal and supervisory arrangements of Hong Kong ensure that CCPs established and authorised therein do not expose clearing members and trading venues established in the Union to a higher level of risk than the latter could be exposed to by CCPs authorised in the Union and, consequently, do not pose unacceptable levels of systemic risk in the Union.
(3) On 1 September 2013, the Commission received the technical advice of the European Securities and Markets Authority (‘ESMA’) on the legal and supervisory arrangements applicable to CCPs authorised in Hong Kong. The technical advice identified a number of differences between the legally binding requirements applicable, at a jurisdictional level, to CCPs in Hong Kong and the legally binding requirements applicable to CCPs under Regulation (EU) No 648/2012. This Decision is not only based, however, on a comparative analysis of the legally binding requirements applicable to CCPs in Hong Kong, but also on an assessment of the outcome of those requirements, and their adequacy to mitigate the risks that clearing members and trading venues established in the Union may be exposed to in a manner considered equivalent to the outcome of the requirements laid down in Regulation (EU) No 648/2012. The significantly lower risks inherent in clearing activities carried out in financial markets that are smaller than the Union financial market should thereby, in particular, be taken into account.
(4) In accordance with Article 25(6) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, three conditions need to be fulfilled in order to determine that the legal and supervisory arrangements of a third country regarding CCPs authorised therein are equivalent to those laid down in that Regulation.
(5) According to the first condition, CCPs authorised in a third country must comply with legally binding requirements which are equivalent to the requirements laid down in Title IV of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012.
(6) The legally binding requirements of Hong Kong for CCPs authorised therein consist of the Clearing and Settlement Systems Ordinance (‘CSSO’) and the Securities and Futures Ordinance (‘SFO’). Entities authorised under the CSSO are regulated by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (‘HKMA’) and entities authorised under the SFO are regulated by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (‘SFC’). CCPs in Hong Kong have been authorised under the SFO only. This Decision should be therefore limited to the regime set out under the SFO.
(7) Under Part III of the SFO, the SFC has the power to authorise CCP as a Recognised Clearing House (‘RCH’). When considering the authorisation of a CCP as an RCH, the SFC must take the ‘interest of the investing public’ and the ‘proper regulation of markets’ into account. The SFC may also specify ‘such conditions as it considers appropriate’ before authorising a specific CCP as an RCH and may change those conditions by notice if ‘satisfied that it is appropriate’. In determining what is appropriate, the SFC is required to refer to its statutory mandates of maintaining financial stability and reducing systemic risk.
(8) The SFO sets out the duties and requirements with which an RCH must comply. The SFC issued guidelines pursuant to Section 399(1) of the SFO (‘the Guidelines’), which implement the international standards set out under the Principles for Financial Market Infrastructures (‘PFMIs’) issued in April 2012 by the Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems (2) (‘CPSS’) and the International Organisation of Securities Commissions (‘IOSCO’). When assessing whether RCHs comply with their obligations under the SFO, the SFC takes into account the Guidelines. Where an RCH fails to comply with its obligations under the SFO as complemented by the Guidelines, the SFC may adopt measures to remedy that situation.
(9) The SFO also requires an RCH to adopt internal rules and procedures as are necessary for the proper regulation of its clearing and settlement facilities and for the proper regulation of its clearing members. Requirements of the SFO and the Guidelines are thus implemented in the internal rules and procedures of the RCHs. Under the SFO, any internal rules and procedures adopted by an RCH and amendments thereto must be approved by the SFC.
(10) The legally binding requirements in Hong Kong therefore comprise a two-tiered structure. The core principles for RCHs set out in the SFO (the ‘primary rules’), set out the high-level standards with which RCHs must comply in order to obtain authorisation to provide clearing services in Hong Kong. Those primary rules comprise the first tier of the legally binding requirements in Hong Kong. In order to prove compliance with the primary rules, RCHs must submit their internal rules and procedures to the SFC for approval. Those internal rules and procedures comprise the second tier of the legally binding requirements in Hong Kong, which must provide prescriptive detail regarding the way in which the RCH will meet those standards in accordance with the Guidelines. Once approved by the SFC, the internal rules and procedures become legally binding upon the RCH.
(11) The equivalence assessment of the legal and supervisory arrangements applicable to RCHs should also take account of the risk mitigation outcome that they ensure in terms of the level of risk to which clearing members and trading venues established in the Union are exposed to due to their participation in RCHs. The risk mitigation outcome is determined by both the level of risk inherent in the clearing activities carried out by the CCP concerned which depends on the size of financial market in which it operates, and the appropriateness of the legal and supervisory arrangements applicable to CCPs to mitigate that level of risk. In order to achieve the same risk mitigation outcome, more stringent risk mitigation requirements are needed for CCPs carrying out their activities in bigger financial markets whose inherent level of risk is higher than for CCPs carrying out their activities in smaller financial markets whose inherent level of risk is lower.
(12) The size of the financial market in which RCHs carry out their clearing activities is significantly smaller than that in which CCPs established in the Union carry out theirs. In particular, over the past three years, the annual notional value of listed derivative contracts traded in Hong Kong represented less than 1 % of the annual notional value of listed derivative contracts traded in the Union. Over the same period, the market capitalisation of securities traded on exchange in Hong Kong represented on average less than 25 % of the Union's market capitalisation. Moreover, clearing by RCHs of more complex products like OTC derivatives is at an early stage since clearing services for OTC derivative contracts were only launched on 25 November 2013. Therefore, participation in RCHs exposes clearing members and trading venues established in the Union to significantly lower risks than their participation in CCPs authorised in the Union.
(13) The legal and supervisory arrangements applicable to RCHs may therefore be considered as equivalent where they are appropriate to mitigate that lower level of risk. The primary rules applicable to RCHs, complemented by their internal rules and procedures which implement the PFMIs, mitigate the lower level of risk existing in Hong Kong and achieve a risk mitigation outcome equivalent to that pursued by Regulation (EU) No 648/2012.
(14) The Commission therefore concludes that the legal and supervisory arrangements of Hong Kong ensure that RCHs authorised therein comply with legally binding requirements which are equivalent to the requirements laid down in Title IV of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012.
(15) According to the second condition under Article 25(6) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, the legal and supervisory arrangements of Hong Kong in respect of CCPs authorised therein must provide for effective supervision and enforcement of those CCPs on an ongoing basis.
(16) The SFC conducts ongoing monitoring of RCHs' compliance with risk management requirements through surveillance and risk-based examination procedures including testing of prudential requirements. The SFC has additional means to enforce compliance. In particular, the SFC has the power to direct RCHs to cease to provide or operate clearing or settlement facilities or to withdraw their authorisation. In addition, the SFC may also request RCHs to make certain amendments to their rules as deemed necessary, and is empowered to make such rule changes unilaterally where the RCH concerned does not comply with the request. The SFC has the power to request RCHs to provide books and records kept by them in connection with or for the purposes of their business or in respect of any clearing and settlement arrangements for any transactions in securities or futures contracts as well as other information relating to their business or any clearing and settlement arrangements for any transactions in securities or futures contracts that the SFC may reasonably require for the performance of its functions. Failure to provide that information or documentation, without reasonable justification, may result in the imposition of fines.
(17) The Commission therefore concludes that the legal and supervisory arrangements of Hong Kong in respect of CCPs authorised therein provide for effective supervision and enforcement on an ongoing basis.
(18) According to the third condition under Article 25(6) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, the legal and supervisory arrangements of Hong Kong must include an effective equivalent system for the recognition of CCPs authorised under third-country legal regimes (‘third-country CCPs’).
(19) To operate as a CCP in Hong Kong, an entity is required to be designated either as a RCH or recognised as a provider of ‘Automated Trading Services’ (‘ATS’) under the SFO. ATS are defined as entities providing, by means of electronic facilities, services to trade or clear securities or futures contracts. In March 2014, the Hong Kong Legislative Council passed an Amendment Ordinance to expand the scope of the ATS definition to include OTC derivatives as well.
(20) The ATS regime is suited to third-country CCPs wishing to provide services to Hong Kong participants. Third-country CCPs may apply to be recognised in Hong Kong as ATS, enabling them to provide the same services in Hong Kong as they are authorised to provide in the third country.
(21) When processing the ATS application from a third-country CCP, the SFC assesses the compliance of the third-country CCP with the PFMIs as a benchmark. The conclusion of a memorandum of understanding between the SFC and the competent third-country supervisory authority of the applicant CCP is also required before the ATS application is approved as the SFC relies on the home regulator for day-to-day supervision of the third-country CCP.
(22) While noting that the structure of the recognition procedure of the legal regime of Hong Kong applicable to third-country CCPs differs from the procedure laid down in Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, it should nonetheless be considered as providing for an effective equivalent system for the recognition of third-country CCPs.
(23) The conditions laid down in Article 25(6) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 can therefore be considered to be met by the legal and supervisory arrangements of Hong Kong regarding RCHs, and those legal and supervisory arrangements should be considered to be equivalent to the requirements laid down in Regulation (EU) No 648/2012. The Commission, informed by ESMA, should continue monitoring the evolution of the Hong Kong legal and supervisory framework for CCPs and the fulfilment of the conditions on the basis of which this decision has been taken.
(24) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the European Securities Committee,
For the purposes of Article 25 of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, the legal and supervisory arrangements of Hong Kong consisting of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (SFO) as complemented by the Guidelines adopted pursuant to Section 399(1) of the SFO and applicable to Recognised Clearing Houses (‘RCHs’) authorised therein shall be considered to be equivalent to the requirements laid down in Regulation (EU) No 648/2012.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1), and in particular the third indent of Article 31(10) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The third indent of Article 31(10) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 stipulates that in the case of differentiated refunds the refund is to be paid on presentation of proof that the products have reached the destination indicated on the licence or another destination for which a refund was fixed. Exceptions may be made to this rule in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 42 of the same Regulation, provided conditions are laid down which offer equivalent guarantees.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 351/2004 of 26 February 2004 fixing the export refunds on milk and milk products (2) has introduced refunds differentiated according to destination for all milk products from 27 February 2004.
(3) Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 of 15 April 1999 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural products (3) indicates which documents may serve as proof that customs formalities for importation have been completed in a third country in cases where the refund rate is differentiated according to destination. Under that Article, the Commission may decide, in certain specific cases to be determined, that proof of import as referred to in that Article may be furnished by a specific document or in any other way.
(4) Since subjecting the payment of refunds to the requirements of Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 entails a substantial change in the administrative procedures for both the national authorities and exporters, it has administrative implications and represents a significant financial burden. Obtaining the proof referred to in Article 16 of that Regulation can pose considerable administrative difficulties in some countries. Furthermore, the particular conditions of export of dairy products may render obtaining such proofs even more difficult and burdensome.
(5) To alleviate some of the administrative and financial constraints imposed on exporters, and in order to allow the authorities and exporters to set up the new arrangements for the products concerned and introduce the procedures needed to ensure that all the formalities to be completed run smoothly, Commission Regulation (EC) No 519/2004 of 19 March 2004 derogating from Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 as regards exports of milk and milk products (4) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 450/2005 of 18 March 2005 on proof that customs formalities for importation of milk and milk products in third countries have been completed as provided for in Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 (5) provide for a transitional period during which the proof that customs formalities for importation have been completed is made easier. That period expired on 31 December 2005.
(6) However, in many of the countries of destination appropriate procedures and adequate means to provide for the necessary documents are still not in place. In order to prevent traders from not being granted the export refund for that reason, it is necessary to continue to provide for a transitional regime for the year 2006. The transitional provisions of Regulation (EC) No 450/2005 have caused some confusion and interpretation questions among the national competent authorities. It is appropriate therefore to re-establish, for the year 2006, the transitional provisions laid down in Regulation (EC) No 519/2004, which have not caused any interpretation problem.
(7) It is appropriate to recall the provisions of Article 20 of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 allowing the competent authorities of the Member States, in case any doubt exists as to the destination of the exported products, to require additional evidence for all refunds proving to their satisfaction that the product has actually been placed on the market in the importing third country.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
1. In the case of exports of products falling within CN codes 0401 to 0405 carried out under Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 for which the exporter is unable to provide the proof referred to in Article 16(1) of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999, the product shall be deemed to have been imported into a third country on presentation of a copy of the transport document and one of the documents listed in Article 16(2) of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999.
2. For the purposes of applying Article 20 of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 Member States shall take into account the provisions laid down in paragraph 1 of this Article.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply to export declarations accepted from 1 January 2006 until 31 December 2006.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy (1), and in particular Article 21 (3) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 3366/94 of 20 December 1994 laying down for 1995 certain conservation and management measures for fishery resources in the Regulatory Area as defined in the Convention on Future Multilateral Cooperation in the North West Atlantic Fisheries (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1761/95 (3), provides for Greenland halibut quotas for 1995;
Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantitative limitations on catches of stocks subject to quotas, it is necessary for the Commission to fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota available for Member States;
Whereas, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of Greenland halibut in the waters of NAFO zones 2 and 3 by vessels flying the flag of a Member State or registered in a Member State have reached the quota available for Member States for 1995,

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
