| COMMISSION DECISION of 22 May 1991 concerning health protection measures in respect of imports of deep-frozen bovine semen from Israel (91/277/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 88/407/EEC of 14 June 1988 laying down the animal health requirements applicable to intra-Community trade in and imports of deep-frozen semen of domestic animals of the bovine species (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Decision 90/14/EEC of 20 December 1989 drawing up a list of third countries from which Member States authorize importation of deep-frozen semen of domestic animals of the bovine species (2), as last amended by Decision 91/276/EEC (3),
Whereas the situation in Israel is in general satisfactory as regards: the regularity and rapidity of information; rules on animal disease prevention and control; the structure and powers of the veterinary services and the organization and implementation of contagious animal disease control measures;
Whereas by Decision 91/276/EEC Israel therefore has been added to the list of third countries from which Member States authorize importation of deep-frozen semen of domestic animals of the bovine species;
Whereas animal health conditions and veterinary certification must be adopted according to the animal health situation of the country concerned;
Whereas because of the present disease situation in Israel, the importation of deep-frozen bovine semen into the Community must be prohibited;
Whereas this Decision will be reviewed in the light of the developing animal health situation in Israel;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
Article 1
Member States shall not authorize the importation of deep-frozen bovine semen from Israel. Article 2

32007R0741 | Commission Regulation (EC) No 741/2007 of 28 June 2007 fixing the rates of the refunds applicable to certain milk products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
| 29.6.2007 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 169/27
COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 741/2007
of 28 June 2007
fixing the rates of the refunds applicable to certain milk products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1), and in particular Article 31(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 31(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the difference between prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), and (g) of that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 of 30 June 2005 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 as regards the system of 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 (2), specifies the products for which a rate of refund is to be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999.
(3) In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question is to be fixed each month.
(4) However, in the case of certain milk products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, there is a danger that, if high refund rates are fixed in advance, the commitments entered into in relation to those refunds may be jeopardised. In order to avert that danger, it is therefore necessary to take appropriate precautionary measures, but without precluding the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of specific refund rates for the advance fixing of refunds in respect of those products should enable those two objectives to be met.
(5) Article 15(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 provides that, when the rate of the refund is being fixed, account is to be taken, where appropriate, of production refunds, aids or other measures having equivalent effect applicable in all Member States in accordance with the Regulation on the common organisation of the market in the product in question to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 or to assimilated products.
(6) Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides for the payment of aid for Community-produced skimmed milk processed into casein if such milk and the casein manufactured from it fulfil certain conditions.
(7) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1898/2005 of 9 November 2005 laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards measures for the disposal of cream, butter and concentrated butter (3), lays down that butter and cream at reduced prices should be made available to industries which manufacture certain goods.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 and in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999, and exported in the form of goods listed in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999, shall be fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 29 June 2007.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.25 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 |

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas by Decision 94/941/EC (3), Member States were authorized to retain the existing conditions for imports of fishery products and in particular the specimen health certificate until 1 March 1995;
Whereas the discussions aimed at drawing up harmonized standards of application have not yet been concluded; whereas this authorization shall therefore be extended until 30 June 1995,
In Article 1 of Decision 94/941/EC, the date of '1 March 1995' shall be replaced by '30 June 1995'.

32007D0250 | 2007/250/EC: Council Decision of 16 April 2007 authorising the United Kingdom to introduce a special measure derogating from Article 193 of Directive 2006/112/EC on the common system of value added tax
| 26.4.2007 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 109/42
COUNCIL DECISION
of 16 April 2007
authorising the United Kingdom to introduce a special measure derogating from Article 193 of Directive 2006/112/EC on the common system of value added tax
(2007/250/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (1), and in particular Article 395(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) In a letter registered by the Secretariat-General of the Commission on 10 February 2006, the United Kingdom requested authorisation to introduce a special measure derogating from Article 21(1)(a) of the Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes — Common system of values added tax: uniform basis of assessment (2).
(2) In accordance with Article 27(2) of Directive 77/388/EEC, the Commission informed the other Member States by letter dated 18 July 2006 of the request made by the United Kingdom. By letter dated 19 July 2006, the Commission notified the United Kingdom that it had all the information it considered necessary for appraisal of the request.
(3) Directive 77/388/EEC has been recast and repealed by Directive 2006/112/EC. References to the provisions of the former are to be construed as references to the latter.
(4) The person liable for payment of the value added tax (VAT), under Article 193 of Directive 2006/112/EC, is the taxable person supplying the goods. The purpose of the derogation requested by the United Kingdom is to place that liability on the taxable person to whom the supplies are made, but only under certain conditions and exclusively in the case of mobile telephones and computer chips/microprocessors.
(5) Within that sector, a significant number of traders engage in tax evasion by not paying VAT to the tax authorities after selling the products. Their customers, however, being in receipt of a valid invoice, remain entitled to a tax deduction. In the most aggressive forms of this tax evasion, the same goods are, via a ‘carousel’ scheme, supplied several times without payment of the VAT to the tax authorities. By designating in those cases the person to whom the goods are supplied as the person liable for the VAT, the derogation would remove the opportunity to engage in that form of tax evasion. However, it would not affect the amount of VAT due.
(6) For the purposes of ensuring the effective operation of the derogation and preventing the tax evasion from being shifted to other products or towards the retail level, the United Kingdom should introduce appropriate control and reporting obligations. The Commission should be informed of the specific measures adopted, and the monitoring and overall evaluation of the operation of the derogation.
(7) The measure is proportionate to the objectives pursued since it is not intended to apply generally, but only to a specific high risk sector comprising certain carefully defined products in relation to which the scale and size of the tax evasion has resulted in considerable tax losses. Furthermore, since that sector is a small one, the derogation cannot be considered equivalent to a general measure.
(8) The authorisation should be valid only for a short period, because it cannot be ascertained with certainty that the objectives of the measure will be achieved, nor can the impact of the measure on the functioning of the VAT system in the United Kingdom and in other Member States be gauged in advance; moreover, the impact of the measure and its implementation on the functioning of the internal market will have to be properly assessed.
(9) The derogation has no negative impact on the Community’s own resources accruing from VAT,
By way of derogation from Article 193 of Directive 2006/112/EC, the United Kingdom is authorised to designate the taxable person to whom supplies of the following goods are made as the person liable to pay VAT:
1. mobile telephones, being devices made or adapted for use in connection with a licensed network and operated on specified frequencies, whether or not they have any other use;
2. integrated circuit devices such as microprocessors and central processing units in a state prior to integration into end user products.
The derogation shall apply in respect of supplies of goods for which the taxable amount is equal to or higher than GBP 5 000.
The derogation provided for in Article 1 is subject to the United Kingdom introducing appropriate and effective control and reporting obligations on taxable persons that supply goods to which the reverse charge applies in accordance with this Decision.
The United Kingdom shall inform the Commission where it has adopted the measures referred to in Articles 1 and 2 and shall, by 31 March 2009, submit a report to the Commission on the overall evaluation of the operation of the measures concerned, in particular as regards the effectiveness of the measure and any evidence of the shifting of tax evasion to other products or to the retail level.
This Decision shall expire on 30 April 2009.
This Decision is addressed to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 |

of 18 October 2004
amending Regulation (EC) No 2879/2000 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EC) No 2702/1999 on measures to provide information on, and to promote, agricultural products in third countries
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2702/1999 of 14 December 1999 on measures to provide information on, and to promote, agricultural products in third countries (1), and in particular Article 11 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Practical experience has shown that it is necessary to improve further the implementation of the information and promotion regime for third countries market as provided for in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2879/2000 (2).
(2) It is necessary to provide that each Member State designates the competent authority or authorities for the application of Regulation (EC) No 2702/1999. Member States should inform the Commission of the names and contact details of these authorities, so as to ensure that this information can be made available in a continuously updated list, made available to all interested parties via the internet.
(3) In order to evaluate and compare proposals of information and promotion programmes these proposals should be submitted according to a single format in all Member States.
(4) Practical experience has shown that the periods for Member States to conclude contracts with the selected professional or interprofessional organisations are too short, in particular in case where several such organisations in more than one Member State are involved. Those periods need therefore to be prolonged.
(5) The use of model contracts ensures that in all Member States the selected programmes are carried out under the same conditions. Where necessary, Member States should however be permitted to vary certain terms of the contracts in order to take account of national rules.
(6) It should be clarified that for multiannual programmes an internal report should be submitted after completion of each annual phase, even in cases where no application for payment is made.
(7) Practical experience has shown that the current requirements for circulation, four times a year, of quarterly reports between Member States and the Commission are too cumbersome. The Member States should be obliged to circulate those reports only twice a year.
(8) The interest rate to be paid by the beneficiary of an undue payment should be aligned with the interest rate for amounts receivable not repaid on the due date established in Article 86 of Commission Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2342/2002 of 23 December 2002 laying down detailed rules for implementation of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (3).
(9) Regulation (EC) No 2879/2000 should be amended accordingly.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion delivered at the joint meeting of the management committees on agricultural product promotion,
Regulation (EC) No 2879/2000 is amended as follows:
1. the following Article 3a is inserted:
2. in Article 7(1), the following subparagraph is added:
3. in Article 11, paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:
4. Article 13 is amended as follows:
(a) Paragraph 2 is amended as follows:
(i) the first subparagraph is replaced by the following:
(ii) the following paragraph 2a is inserted:
(b) Paragraph 7 is replaced by the following:
5. In Article 15(1), the second subparagraph is replaced by the following:
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
However, point 2 of Article 1 shall apply to proposals for programmes submitted to the Commission as from 1 January 2005.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 of 20 December 1992 establishing a Community system for fisheries and aquaculture(1), and in particular Article 8(4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 2742/1999(2) fixes for 2000 the fishing opportunities and associated conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, applicable in Community waters.
(2) Within the Agreement on fisheries relations between the European Community and the Republic of Estonia(3), an additional quantity of 600 tonnes of cod in the Baltic Sea was granted to the Community.
(3) The total allowable catch of capelin in Greenland waters for 2000 has been set within a trilateral agreement among Greenland, Iceland and Norway at 975000 tonnes of which the quota accruing to Greenland is to be 107500 tonnes and consequentially the quota accruing to the Community has to be adapted.
(4) The Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) at its last annual meeting held from 12 to 16 June 2000, adopted a catch limitation for yellowfin tuna in 2000 and modified the provisional catch limitation for bigeye tuna adopted in 1999. The Community, being in the process of accession to IATTC, should fully cooperate with this organisation in all matters of fisheries conservation by implementing these measures.
(5) Greater clarity is required regarding geographical areas in which herring may be caught in the North-East Atlantic.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 2742/1999 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Regulation (EC) No 2742/1999 is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Article 3(3), the entry:
">TABLE>"
shall be replaced by the entry:
">TABLE>"
2. The entry in Annex I hereto shall replace the corresponding entry in Annex I A.
3. In Annex I C:
- In the entry "Herring, zone I, II", under "Special conditions", the reference to "Faroese waters" shall be replaced by a reference to "Faroese waters, including ICES Division Vb north of latitude 62° N".
- The entry in Annex II hereto shall replace the corresponding entry.
4. In Annex I F:
- The entries in Annex III hereto shall replace the corresponding entries.
- The entries in Annex IV hereto shall be added.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Whereas:
(1) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 412/2014 (2) opened annual tariff quotas for imports of eggs and egg albumin originating in Ukraine.
(2) The quantities covered by the applications for import licences lodged from 1 to 7 December 2014 for the subperiod from 1 January to 31 March 2015 are less than those available. The quantities for which applications have not been lodged should therefore be determined and these should be added to the quantity fixed for the next quota subperiod.
(3) In order to ensure efficient management of the measure, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia, and in particular Article 2 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia, and in particular Article 42 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) From 1 May 2004 semen, ova and embryos of the bovine, porcine, ovine, caprine and equine species obtained in the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia (the New Member States) and intended for intra-Community trade will have to comply with all the conditions established by the relevant Community legislation.
(2) In particular, those products will be subject to the animal-health requirements laid down in Council Directive 88/407/EEC of 14 June 1988 laying down the animal health requirements applicable to intra-Community trade in and imports of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species(1), Council Directive 89/556/EEC of 25 September 1989 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in and importation from third countries of embryos of domestic animals of the bovine species(2), Council Directive 90/429/EEC of 26 June 1990 laying down the animal health requirements applicable to intra-Community trade in and imports of semen of domestic animals of the porcine species(3) and Council Directive 92/65/EEC of 13 July 1992 laying down animal health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of animals, semen, ova and embryos not subject to animal health requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A (I) to Directive 90/425/EEC(4).
(3) Certain of those animal products obtained in the New Member States before the date of Accession may be in stocks after the date of Accession. However, those animal products may not comply with all the animal health requirements applicable to intra-Community trade.
(4) In order to facilitate the transition from the existing regime for products from the New Member States to that resulting from the application of the Community animal health legislation, it appears appropriate to lay down transitional measures for trade in those products.
(5) Article 53 of the Act of Accession provides that the new Member States shall be considered as having received notification of the present Decision upon Accession.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
This Decision shall apply to semen, ova and embryos of the bovine, porcine, ovine, caprine and equine species which are subject to the animal-health requirements laid down in Directives 88/407/EEC, 89/556/EEC, 90/429/EEC and 92/65/EEC and are obtained before 1 May 2004 in the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia (the New Member States).
From 1 May 2004 products referred to in Article 1 shall not be dispatched to other Member States.
1. By way of derogation from Article 2, the products referred to in Article 1 may, from 1 May 2004 until 31 December 2004:

2. The animal health certificate accompanying consignments of the products referred to in paragraph 1 shall bear the following additional certification signed by the official veterinarian:"Semen, ova or embryos (delete as appropriate) of the bovine, porcine, ovine, caprine or equine species (delete as appropriate) conforming to the requirements of Commission Decision 2004/205/EC(5) and obtained before 1 May 2004."
The Member States shall take the necessary measures to comply with this Decision and publish those measures. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.
The Decision shall apply subject to and as from the date of the entry into force of the 2003 Treaty of Accession.

Whereas, by letter dated 31 January 1983, the Federal Republic of Germany has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'Biotronex - Sine-Wave Blood Flowmeter, model BL-613EZ' ordered on 14 August 1979 and intended to be used for the study of the effects of changes in coronary flow on myocardial temperature in the course of animal experiments, should be considered to be a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 5 July 1983 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a sine-wave flowmeter; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the precision and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of equivalent scientific value capable of use for the same purpose is not currently manufactured in the Community; whereas, therefore, duty-free admission of this apparatus is justified,

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 of 13 February 1993 on the common organization of the market in bananas (1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 3518/93 (2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 makes provision for laying down common quality standards for bananas intended for consumption fresh, not including plantains; whereas the purpose of these standards is to ensure that the market is supplied with products of uniform and satisfactory quality, in particular in the case of bananas harvested in the Community, for which efforts to improve quality should be made;
Whereas, given the wide range of varieties marketed in the Community and of marketing practices, minimum standards should be set for unripened green bananas, without prejudice to the later introduction of standards applicable at a different marketing stage; whereas the characteristics of fig bananas and the way in which they are marketed are such that they should not be covered by the Community standards;
Whereas the banana-producing Member States already apply national standards within their territory at different stages in the marketing of bananas; whereas it seems appropriate, in view of the objectives pursued, to allow these existing rules to continue to apply to their own production but only at stages subsequent to unripened green bananas, provided those rules are not in conflict with the Community standards and do not impede the free circulation of bananas in the Community;
Whereas account should be taken of the fact that, because climatic factors make production conditions difficult in the Community regions of Madeira, the Azores, the Algarve, Crete and Lakonia, bananas there do not develop to the minimum length laid down; whereas in these cases such bananas may still be marketed, but only in Class II;
Whereas the Management Committee for Bananas has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The quality standards applicable to bananas falling within CN code ex 0803, excluding plantains, fig bananas and bananas intended for processing, are laid down in Annex I hereto.
These standards shall apply to bananas originating in third countries at the stage of release for free circulation, to bananas originating in the Community at the stage of first landing at a Community port, and to bananas delivered fresh to the consumer in the producing region at the stage of leaving the packing shed.
The standards laid down in Article 1 shall not affect the application, at later stages of marketing, of national rules which:
- do not impede the free circulation of bananas originating in third countries or other regions of the Community and complying with the standards laid down in this Regulation,
and
- are not incompatible with the standards laid down in this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1995.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 85 thereof;
Having regard to Council Regulation No 17 (1) of 6 February 1962, and in particular Article 2 thereof;
Having regard to the notification submitted as a precaution only on 31 January 1963 pursuant to Regulation No 17 by "Adox Fotowerke Dr. C. Schleussner GmbH", a company established under German law at Frankfurt-on-Main (Germany), in respect of standard contracts for the sale of photographic products which it applied on the German domestic market;
Having regard to the publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities No C 122 of 24 November 1972 of the Summary of the notification pursuant to Article 19 (3) of Regulation No 17;
Having regard to the Opinion delivered on 27 March 1973 by the Advisory Committee on Restrictive Practices and Monopolies pursuant to Article 10 of Regulation No 17;
I
Whereas the notification submitted as a precaution only by Adox Fotowerke Dr. C. Schleussner GmbH in 1963 concerned contracts regularly awarded by that company since 1958 in Germany to specialized dealers, both wholesale and retail, wishing to sell one or more categories of the products it then manufactured (photographic films, paper and equipment ; photochemical products ; sensitive products for radiography ; accessories, etc);
Whereas under the terms of those standard contracts, concluded for a year with tacit renewal, German dealers undertook to observe strictly Adox's general conditions of sale for the category of products concerned, on pain of their deliveries being stopped, their annual rebates being withheld or financial penalties being imposed ; whereas in particular they expressly agreed to respect the prices and distribution networks specified by the manufacturer and to ensure that these were respected by others ; whereas Adox, for its part, undertook to apply without exception its system of fixed prices, as provided for in the German law;
Whereas Adox's general conditions of sale, as they stood in 1963, included in particular: (a) the requirement that both wholesalers and retailers should strictly apply the resale prices fixed by the manufacturer for each group of purchasers, irrespective of the origin of the products, and that they should not grant any discount whatsoever, whether directly or indirectly;
(b) the requirement that wholesalers should only supply retailers in Germany able to provide service to the branch's usual customers and who in turn should undertake to comply with the prices and distribution networks specified by the manufacturer;
(c) the requirement that retailers should deliver only to consumers, to the exclusion of any other dealer, and that they should not sell abroad without the manufacturer's permission;
Whereas in November 1969 the applicant company - which had meanwhile become Du Pont Fotowerke Adox GmbH - discontinued of its own accord the fixed price system which it had been using on the German market and amended its general conditions of sale, in particular by abolishing the export ban imposed on its German dealers ; whereas in February 1971, following an intervention by the Commission, it also abolished the bans on wholesalers reselling to other wholesalers and on retailers reselling to other retailers; (1)OJ No 13, 21.2.1962, p. 204/62 ; OJ Special edition 1959-62, November 1972, p. 87.
Whereas these general conditions of sale, thus amended, are being applied for products supplied by the "Photographic Department" of Du Pont de Nemours (Deutschland) GmbH which, in July 1971, took over Du Pont Fotowerke Adox GmbH ; whereas cameras are no longer included in those products as the latter company ceased to manufacture them in 1965;
Whereas the Commission has not received any comments from third parties in response to the publication of the summary of the notification;
II
Whereas, under Article 2 of Regulation No 17, a negative clearance may be granted if the Commission finds, on the basis of facts in its possession, that there are no grounds under Article 85 (1) of the EEC Treaty for action on its part in respect of the standard contracts and general conditions of sale in question;
Whereas those standard distribution contracts, as well as the general conditions of sale, which are of course subject to agreement between the supplier and each of its purchasers, are agreements between undertakings within the meaning of Article 85;
Whereas the standard distribution contracts which were concluded between specialized dealers and Fotowerke Dr. C. Schleussner GmbH, Du Pont Fotowerke Adox GmbH or Du Pont de Nemours (Deutschland) GmbH no longer contain any obligation apart from the undertaking entered into by dealers to observe the manufacturer's general conditions of sale;
Whereas the present wording of "General Conditions of Delivery and Payment for Photochemical Products" and "General Conditions of Delivery and Payment for Equipment and Spare Parts" applied by the "Photographic Department" of Du Pont de Nemours (Deutschland) GmbH both contain similar clauses relating, inter alia, to the placing of orders, the way of quoting prices, consignments, retention of ownership, conditions of payment, complaints, place of jurisdiction, etc.;
Whereas the conditions of sale for photochemical products contain the additional requirement that dealers should provide customers with the usual service of the branch and supply articles only in their original packaging ; whereas the conditions of sale for equipment and spare parts also stipulate that the warranty against manufacturing defects shall in all cases extend over a period of six months;
Whereas none of the aforementioned clauses is a direct or indirect restriction against competition among either distributors or consumers within the meaning of Article 85 (1) of the Treaty ; whereas in particular, dealers, whether wholesale or retail, may deliver their goods to any purchasers, including purchasers outside German territory, at prices which they themselves have freely determined;
Whereas, consequently, the facts in the possession of the Commission do not show that the standard contracts and conditions of sale in question have as their object or effect the prevention, restriction or distortion of competition within the Common Market within the meaning of Article 85 (1) of the EEC Treaty ; whereas, since one of the conditions for applying that paragraph is not satisfied, negative clearance may be granted;
III
Whereas the standard contracts and conditions of sale as worded prior to February 1971 fell within the provisions of Article 85 (1) because they contained clauses which restricted competition and which might affect trade between Member States, in particular: (a) a ban on exporting by wholesalers and retailers without the manufacturer's permission;
(b) a ban on resales at the same level of distribution, as regards exports within the EEC;
(c) a requirement to respect prices fixed by the manufacturer, as regards goods re-imported into Germany from other Member States of the EEC;
Whereas such clauses, which were the only ones prohibited under Article 85 (1) and were unlikely to be exempted under the provisions of Article 85 (3), were finally all eliminated in February 1971;
Whereas the agreements in question consequently satisfy the requirements of Article 7 (1) of Regulation No 17 ; whereas, in fact, those agreements, which were in existence when the said Regulation No 17 (13 March 1962) entered into force and which were notified within the time limits fixed in Article 5 (1) of that Regulation, do not satisfy the requirements of Article 85 (3) of the Treaty, but whereas Du Pont Fotowerke Adox GmbH has amended the said agreements so that they no longer fall within the prohibition contained in Article 85 (1) ; whereas, as far as the versions of the contracts prior to modifications are concerned, the prohibition contained in Article 85 (1) applies only to the period fixed by the Commission;
Whereas in this respect account should be taken of the fact that the abovementioned company abolished of its own accord two of the three restricitive clauses mentioned above and abolished the third clause as soon as the Commission so requested ; whereas these circumstances are sufficient to justify the non-application of the prohibition contained in Article 85 (1) for the entire period preceding the amendments;
On the basis of the facts in the possession of the Commission, there are no grounds under Article 85 (1) of the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community for action on its part in respect of the standard contracts and general conditions of sale which are being applied by Du Pont de Nemours (Deutschland) GmbH for the distribution of products from its "Photographic Department".
The prohibition contained in Article 85 (1) shall not apply to the versions of the standard contracts and general conditions of sale applied by Adox Fotowerke Dr. C. Schleussner GmbH, and then by Du Pont Fotowerke Adox GmbH during the period between 13 March 1962 and February 1971.
This Decision is addressed to Du Pont de Nemours (Deutschland) GmbH, Hochstrasse 43, Frankfurt-on-Main (Germany). | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3577/90 (2), and in particular Articles 12 (2) and 16 (6) thereof,
Whereas export licences for common wheat were issued on 16 November 1990 with advance fixing of the refund applicable to exports of common wheat to the Soviet Union; whereas the term of validity of those licences expires on 31 January 1991; whereas failure to effect export by that date entails a loss of the security;
Whereas, because of its size, the whole quantity involved cannot be exported before the expiry of the term of validity of the licences owing to the considerable difficulties involved in maritime transport to the Soviet Union; whereas the Soviet Union is also a major importer of cereals from the Community;
Whereas the quantities in question can no longer be placed in a customs warehouse under satisfactory conditions on expiry of the term of validity of the licences owing to a lack of immediately available storage capacity;
Whereas, because of the problems likely to be involved in transport to the Soviet Union, exporters who at 23 November 1990 had fixed refunds on exports of common wheat to the Soviet Union obtained, under Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3633/90 (3), an extension of one month in the term of validity; whereas, it accordingly seems justifiable to permit the same term of validity for exporters who had fixed export refunds at 16 November 1990 and who are encountering the same problem;
Whereas under these conditions and quite exceptionally the term of validity of licences should be extended by one month on application by the party concerned; whereas, in order to avoid any undue advantage, provision should however be made that in his application the party concerned should forego the payment of the monthly increases in the export refund provided for in Article 16 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 for the extension period permitted in this Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
Article 1
On application by the party concerned, the term of validity of export licences for common wheat issued on 16 November 1990 with advance fixing of the refund applicable to a destination in the Soviet Union shall be extended until 28 February 1991. Applications for an extension shall only be admissible only if they are lodged no later than two working days after the publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Communities and if the party concerned foregoes the adjustments in the refund provided for in Article 16 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 for the duration of the extension. Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 31 January 1991. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2048/88 (2), and in particular Article 5 (2) thereof,
Following consultation of the Fund Committee,
Whereas, in accordance with Article 5 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70, the Commission, on the basis of the annual accounts presented by the Member States, clears the accounts relating to the expenditure paid by the authorities and bodies referred to at Article 4 of the said Regulation;
Whereas, in accordance with Articles 2 and 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70, only expenditure effected in accordance with Community rules within the framework of the common organization of the agricultural markets, may be financed;
Whereas Italy has transmitted to the Commission the documents necessary for the clearance of accounts relating to the financial year 1991 in so far as expenditure covered by the present decision is concerned; whereas the Commission has carried out the necessary verifications in accordance with Article 9 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1582/91 (3), provided for the supply of canned beef to the people of the ex-Soviet Union in the framework of Council Regulation (EEC) No 598/91 of 5 March 1991 on an emergency action for the Soviet Union (4); whereas the processing and canning of the meat was awarded by tendering procedures; whereas the meat to be processed came from the intervention stocks of Germany;
Whereas a considerable part of the canned beef produced by certain Italian firms and supplied to the ex-USSR proved to be unfit for human consumption; whereas additionally, it was found that in certain cases the meat content of the cans did not correspond to the specifications laid down in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 1582/91; whereas the affected canned beef not being identifiable by lot, the totality of the produce supplied had to be retrieved and will have to be destroyed; whereas the deterioration of the produce was found to be due to the insufficiency of the sterilization operation for the meat to be processed and this is attributable to the producing firm; whereas the permanent physical controls which had to be effected in accordance with Article 9 of the said Regulation did not allow the detection of the abovementioned procesing faults; whereas, in consequence, the Italian intervention agency incorrectly paid the processing costs to the successful tenderers and did not acquire the securities constituted in accordance with Article 6 (3) of the aforementioned Regulation; whereas the associated positive and negative expenditure which was supported by the Fund in 1991 may no longer be taken in charge by the Community budget;
Whereas the Member State in question has been informed in detail of the corrections provided for by this decision and has been able to make known its position on this subject;
Whereas Article 8 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1723/72 of 26 July 1972 on making up accounts for the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guarantee Section (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 295/88 (6), provides that the decision to clear accounts shall include the determination of the amount of expenditure incurred in each Member State during the financial year in question recognized as chargeable to the Guarantee Section of the Fund; whereas this provision does not exclude the Commission from clearing, before and outside of the global decision on the clearance of accounts, certain parts of the annual accounts concerning expenditure relevant to specific measures; whereas in this particular case, having regard to the gravity of the control weaknesses found and the pressing political necessity to replace the canned beef which is unfit for consumption, the Commission is led to avail itself of this facility; whereas this decision does not prejudice the clearance of accounts decision for the 1991 financial year for the Member State concerned with regard to expenditure not covered by this decision;
Whereas the Commission reserves the possibility to proceed, within the appropriate legal framework, to the recovery of the expenses it has incurred which also result from the insufficient application by the Member State in question of the control provisions in this particular case, in addition to those expenses which are the subject of this decision; whereas this concerns in particular the expenses linked to the loss of the intervention meat used, in so far as these expenses exceed the amount of the securities released, as well as the costs of storage, re-transport and destruction of the canned beef;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 102 of the Financial Regulation, of 21 December 1977 (7), as last amended by Regulation (Euratom, ECSC, EEC) No 610/90 (8), the result of the clearance of accounts decision, constituting the difference between the total of the expenditure booked for the financial year in question in application of Articles 100 and 101 and the total expenditure recognized by the Commission at the clearance, is booked under a single article as additional expenditure or a reduction in expenditure,
The amount recognized as chargeable to the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guarantee Section, relative to the expenditure declared by Italy for the 1991 financial year for the execution of the operations provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 1582/91, as identified in the Annex, amount, in accordance with the same Annex:
- for Italy to Lit 15 772 655 660.
The amounts set out at point 3 of the Annex are to be booked with the expenditure referred to at Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2776/88 (9) for the month of April 1994.

31995R2135 | Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector
| COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1101/95 (2), and in particular Article 17 (15) thereof;
Whereas the Agreement on Agriculture reached during the Uruguay Round multilateral trade negotiations, hereinafter referred to as the 'Agreement`, requires in particular that the regulations applicable to exports of sugar be adapted; whereas Title II (Trade with third countries) of the basic Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 was revised as a result of that Agreement by Council Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 (3); whereas, consequently, the detailed rules of application for granting export refunds on sugar laid down by Commission Regulations (EEC) No 394/70 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2529/94 (5), and (EEC) No 1469/77 (6), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1714/88 (7), should also be reviewed, the Regulations being repealed while those provisions still relevant to the application of the refund system are carried over;
Whereas candy sugar, which is manufactured from white sugar or refined raw sugar, very often has a degree of polarization of less than 99,5 %; whereas, in view of the high degree of purity of the raw material used, the refund on candy sugar should be as close as possible to the refund on white sugar; whereas a precise definition of candy sugar should be laid down;
Whereas the intervention prices for white sugar and raw sugar are fixed without taking account of the storage levy provided for in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81; whereas, however, account should be taken of the impact of that levy on sugar prices and the export refunds should be determined accordingly;
Whereas, in order to ensure equal treatment of all parties concerned in the Community, a standard method for determining the sucrose content of certain products should be laid down; whereas special provisions must be laid down to cover cases where that method does not allow the total sucrose content to be determined;
Whereas, in the case of syrups with a relatively low degree of purity, the sucrose content should be fixed at a flat rate on the basis of the extractable sugar content;
Whereas exports of white sugar to third countries are more and more frequently preceded by storage in bulk in port warehouses or silos, bagging being carried out at the last minute when the ship is ready to be loaded or on board the vessel itself; whereas, as a result, such operations imply the shared use at the port concerned of a silo in which sugar from various sugar companies is stored and therefore mixed; whereas, as the regulations now stand, in order to qualify for advance payment of refunds, since sugar must be stored under conditions permitting it to be identified physically, mixing with other sugar is not permitted; whereas this situation thus prevents a major percentage of Community sugar exported to third countries from qualifying for advance payment of export refunds;
Whereas, furthermore, the special features of white sugar, namely its high degree of technical and commercial homogeneity, make it possible to relax the regulatory constraints on that product while still ensuring that the product is actually exported after payment of the refund; whereas, under these circumstances, mixing white sugar from various sources at one place of storage should under certain conditions (in particular subject to controls) be permitted for the purposes of the advance payment of export refunds, by amending the relevant provisions on the sugar sector;
Whereas, with a view to granting export refunds on isoglucose and inulin syrup, limits should be laid down as regards the fructose and polysaccharide content in order to ensure that the refund is granted only on the true product as such; whereas, as regards inulin syrup, the production quotas and production levies are established at the same level as for sugar and isoglucose by applying a coefficient of 1,9; whereas, as a result, the refund on inulin syrup should be established using that coefficient; whereas the export refund on isoglucose and inulin syrup should be fixed each month in line with the monthly fixing of other refunds in the sugar sector;
Whereas it is economically desirable to provide for the possibility of refunds being adjusted in cases where changes occur in the intervention prices and the price for molasses between the time they are fixed and actual export;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
For the purposes of Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81, 'candy sugar` means sugar which:
(a) comprises large crystals at least 5 mm in length, obtained by cooling and slow crystallization of a sufficiently concentrated sugar solution,
and (b) contains 96 % or more sucrose by weight in the dry state, determined in accordance with the polarimetric method.
For the purposes of Articles 17a (2) (b) and 17c of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81, the export refund shall be fixed taking account of the storage levy referred to in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 which is fixed for the marketing year in question.
1. The export refund per 100 kg of products listed in Article 1 (1) (d) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 shall be equal to a basic amount multiplied by the sucrose content of the product in question as determined plus, where applicable, the content of other sugars calculated in sucrose equivalent.
2. Without prejudice to paragraphs 3 and 4, the sucrose content plus, where applicable, the content of other sugars expressed as sucrose shall be the total sugar content resulting from application of the Lane and Eynon method (copper reduction method) to the inverted solution in accordance with Clerger-Herzfeld. The total sugar content determined in accordance with that method shall be converted into sucrose by multiplying it by a coefficient of 0,95.
3. In the case of syrups of a purity of not less than 85 % but less than 94,5 %, the sucrose content plus, where applicable, the content of other sugars expressed as sucrose shall be fixed at a flat rate of 73 % by weight in the dry state. The percentage purity of syrups shall be calculated by dividing the total sugar content by the dry matter content and multiplying the result by 100. The total sugar content shall be determined in accordance with the method referred to in paragraph 2 and the dry matter content in accordance with the areometric method.
4. In the case of caramel obtained exclusively from non-denatured sugar covered by CN code 1701, the surcrose content plus, where applicable, the content of other sugars expressed as sucrose shall be determined on the basis of the dry matter content. The dry matter content shall be determined on the basis of the density of the diluted solution in a weighted ratio of one to one. The result of the determination of the dry matter content shall be expressed as sucrose by multiplying it by a coefficient of one.
However, on request, to take account of caramel as referred to above, the actual amount used of sucrose plus, where applicable, of other sugars expressed as sucrose may be determined where the candy has been manufactured under a customs warehousing or free zone procedure providing equivalent guarantees.
5. The basic amount referred to in paragraph 1 shall not apply to syrups with a purity of less than 85 %.
Where white sugar covered by CN code 1701 99 10 and produced from beet or cane harvested in the Community or from raw sugar imported into the Community under preferential arrangements is stored in bulk under a customs warehousing or free zone procedure laid down for advance payment of the refund as defined in Council Regulation (EEC) No 565/80 (1), the sugar may, in addition to the operations provided for in Article 28 (4) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3665/87 (2), be mixed at the same place of storage with other white sugar also covered by CN code 1701 99 10, of the same origin as referred to above, of the same commercial quality and with equivalent technical characteristics.
Export refunds may only be granted on the products listed in Article 1 (1) (f) and (g) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 where the products:
- are obtained by isomerization of glucose,
- have a fructose content by weight in the dry state of not less than 41 %,
and - have a total content by weight in the dry state of polysaccharides and oligosaccharides, including di- and trisaccharides, of not more than 8,5 %.
The dry matter content of isoglucose shall be determined on the basis of the density of the diluted solution in a proportion by weight of one to one or, in the case of products with a very high consistency, by drying. The refund shall be fixed each month.
Export refunds may only be granted on the products listed in Article 1 (1) (h) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 where the products:
- are obtained immediately after hydrolysis of inulin or oligofructose,
- have a fructose content by weight in the dry state of at least 80 %,
and - have a total content by weight in the dry state of polysaccharides and oligosaccharides, including di- and trisaccharides, of not more than 8,5 %.
The export refund on the products listed in Article 1 (1) (h) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 shall be equal, per 100 kg of dry matter, to the export refund fixed for the product referred to in Article 1 (1) (f) of that Regulation multiplied by a coefficient of 1,9. The refund shall be fixed each month.
If, during the period between:
- the day of lodging of the application for an export licence where the refund is fixed periodically, or - the closing date for the submission of tenders where the refund is fixed by invitation to tender and the day of export, there is a change in the prices of sugar or molasses fixed pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81, provision may be made for the refund to be adjusted.
Regulations (EEC) No 394/70 and (EEC) No 1469/77 are hereby repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 October 1995.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4135/86 of 22 December 1986 on common rules for imports of certain textile products originating in Yugoslavia (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 669/88 (2), and in particular Article 9 (3) thereof,
Whereas, by Regulation (EEC) No 4135/86, the importation of textile products originating in Yugoslavia was made subject to quantitative limitation and allocation among the Member States and to common rules for authorization;
Whereas trade fairs are to be held, as in previous years, in Berlin in 1989, at which Yugoslavia among other exporting countries is expected to participate; whereas the existing shares of Community quotas allocated to the Federal Republic of Germany may again be insufficient to meet the requirements of the trade fairs;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to open supplementary quotas for the Berlin Trade Fairs and to allocate these to the Federal Republic of Germany;
Whereas it is desirable that import authorizations should be issued in accordance with the requirements on origin specified in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 4135/86;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textile Committee - Yugoslavia set up by Regulation (EEC) No 4135/86,
In addition to the quantitative limits on imports established by Regulation (EEC) No 4135/86 supplementary quotas as set out in the Annex hereto shall be opened in respect of the Berlin Trade Fairs to be held in 1989 and shall be allocated to the Federal Republic of Germany.
1. The authorities of the Federal Republic of Germany shall authorize imports, not exceeding the supplementary quotas referred to in Article 1, only in respect of such contracts signed in Berlin during the Berlin Trade Fair as are recognized by those authorities as being eligible, provided that products covered by such approved contracts are placed on board for exportation to the Federal Republic of Germany in Yugoslavia after 15 October 1989.
2. The period of validity of import authorizations or equivalent documents issued in accordance with paragraph 1 shall not extend beyond 31 December 1990.
3. The Commission shall be informed not later than 31 December 1989 of the total quantities covered by contracts authorized under paragraph 1.
Importation of the textile products covered by authorization given in accordance with Article 2 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 4135/86.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

(Only the German text is authentic)
(2011/258/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 43(m), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Commission Decision 89/471/EEC (2), the use of several methods for grading pig carcasses in Germany was authorised.
(2) Germany has stated that the update of the national formula is absolutely necessary in order to take into account the breeding progress during the past 15 years. The last update of the lean meat equation of the grading apparatus and the ‘Zwei-Punkt-Meßverfahren’ (ZP) method dates back to 1995.
(3) Germany has requested the Commission to authorise the replacement of the formulas used in the ‘General Electric Logiq 200pro’, the ‘Autofom I’ and ‘Zwei-Punkt-Meßverfahren’ (ZP) methods of grading pig carcasses as well as to authorise two new methods for grading pig carcasses on its territory and has presented a detailed description of the dissection trial, indicating the principles on which that method is based, the results of its dissection trial and the equations used for assessing the percentage of lean meat in the protocol provided for in Article 23(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1249/2008 of 10 December 2008 laying down detailed rules on the implementation of the Community scales for the classification of beef, pig and sheep carcasses and the reporting of prices thereof (3).
(4) Examination of that request has revealed that the conditions for authorising those grading methods are fulfilled. Those grading methods should therefore be authorised in Germany.
(5) Decision 89/471/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) In view of the technical circumstances while introducing new devices and new equations, the methods for grading pig carcasses authorised under this Decision should apply from 4 October 2011.
(7) Modifications of the apparatus or grading methods should not be allowed, unless they are explicitly authorised by Commission Decision.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of the Agricultural Markets,
Decision 89/471/EEC is amended as follows:
1. Article 1a is replaced by the following:
— the “Autofom I” apparatus and the assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part III of the Annex,
— the “Autofom III” apparatus and the assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part IV of the Annex,
— the “CSB Image-Meater” apparatus and the assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part V of the Annex.
2. the Annex is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision shall apply from 4 October 2011.

of 29 April 2005
amending Council Directive 84/500/EEC as regards a declaration of compliance and performance criteria of the analytical method for ceramic articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 October 2004 on materials and articles intended to come into contact with food and repealing Directives 80/590/EEC and 89/109/EEC (1), and in particular Article 5(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Directive 84/500/EEC of 15 October 1984 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to ceramic articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs (2) is a specific measure within the meaning of Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004. It concerns the possible migration of lead and cadmium from ceramic articles which, in their finished state, are intended to come into contact with foodstuffs, or which are in contact with foodstuffs, and are intended for that purpose.
(2) Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 provides that the specific measures are to require that materials and articles covered by those measures are accompanied by a written declaration stating that they comply with the rules applicable to them.
(3) That requirement has not yet been set out in Directive 84/500/EEC. There is a need to lay down that obligation for all ceramic articles which are not yet in contact with foodstuffs to clearly distinguish them from decorative articles.
(4) The national competent authorities should have access to documents demonstrating that the ceramic articles comply with the migration limits for lead and cadmium. Therefore, the manufacturer or importer into the Community should make information concerning analysis carried out available to them on request.
(5) Directive 84/500/EEC lays down a method for the analysis of lead and cadmium. Technological progress has been made in that area and the analytical method set out in that Directive is only one amongst several possible methods. This Directive should take technological progress into account and establish a set of performance criteria that the analytical method must comply with having regard to Commission Directive 2001/22/EC of 8 March 2001 laying down the sampling methods of analysis for the official control of the levels of lead, cadmium, mercury and 3-MCPD in foodstuffs (3).
(6) In accordance with the principle of proportionality, it is necessary and appropriate for the achievement of the basic objective of ensuring the free movement of ceramic articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs to lay down rules for a correct enforcement of Directive 84/500/EEC. This Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve the objectives pursued, in accordance with the third paragraph of Article 5 of the Treaty.
(7) Directive 84/500/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Directive 84/500/EEC is amended as follows:
1. The following Article 2a is inserted:
2. Annex II is replaced by the text in Annex I to this Directive.
3. A new Annex III, the text of which is set out in Annex II to this Directive, is added.
1. Member States shall adopt and publish, by 20 May 2006 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions in such a way as to:
(a) permit the trade in and use of ceramic articles complying with this Directive, from 20 May 2006;
(b) prohibit the manufacture and importation into the Community of ceramic articles which do not comply with this Directive, from 20 May 2007.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
This Directive shall enter into force on the twentieth day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

COMMISSION DECISION
of 2 December 2005
concerning the non-inclusion of endosulfan in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing this active substance
(notified under document number C(2005) 4611)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2005/864/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 8(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC provided for the Commission to carry out a programme of work for the examination of the active substances used in plant protection products which were already on the market on 25 July 1993. Detailed rules for the carrying out of this programme were established in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (2).
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 933/94 of 27 April 1994 laying down the active substances of plant protection products and designating the rapporteur Member States for the implementation of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 (3), designated the active substances which should be assessed in the framework of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92, designated a Member State to act as rapporteur in respect of the assessment of each substance and identified the producers of each active substance who submitted a notification in due time.
(3) Endosulfan is one of the 89 active substances designated in Regulation (EC) No 933/94.
(4) In accordance with Article 7(1)(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92, Spain, being the designated rapporteur Member State, submitted on 22 February 2000 to the Commission the report of its assessment of the information submitted by the notifiers in accordance with Article 6(1) of that Regulation.
(5) On receipt of the report of the rapporteur Member State, the Commission undertook consultations with experts of the Member States as well as with the main notifiers Bayer CropScience and Makhteshim Agan as provided for in Article 7(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92. It appeared that further data were required. Commission Decision 2001/810/EC (4) laid down a deadline for data submission by the notifier, which expired 25 May 2002. The same decision set a further deadline of 31 May 2003 for specified long term studies.
(6) The Commission organised a tripartite meeting with the main data submitters and the rapporteur Member State for this active substance on 17 May 2004.
(7) The assessment report prepared by Spain has been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health. This review was finalised on 15 February 2005 in the format of the Commission review report for endosulfan.
(8) During the evaluation of this active substance, a number of areas of concern have been identified. This was in particular the case concerning its environmental fate and behaviour as the route of degradation of the active substance is not completely clear and unknown metabolites were found in soil degradation, water/sediment degradation and mesocosm studies. In ecotoxicology many concerns remain since the long term risk, in particular, due to the presence of the abovementioned metabolites, cannot be sufficiently addressed with the available information. In addition exposure of operators under indoor conditions has not been considered to be sufficiently addressed with the available information. Moreover endosulfan is volatile, its main metabolite is persistent and it has been found in monitoring results of regions where the substance was not used. Consequently, as these concerns remain unsolved, assessments made on the basis of the information submitted have not demonstrated that it may be expected that, under the proposed conditions of use, plant protection products containing endosulfan satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
(9) Endosulfan should therefore not be included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(10) Measures should be taken to ensure that existing authorisations for plant protection products containing endosulfan are withdrawn within a prescribed period and are not renewed and that no new authorisations for such products are granted.
(11) In the light of the information submitted to the Commission it appears that, in the absence of efficient alternatives for certain limited uses in certain Member States, there is a need for further use of the active substance so as to enable the development of alternatives. It is therefore justified in the present circumstances to prescribe under strict conditions aimed at minimising risk a longer period for the withdrawal of existing authorisations for the limited uses considered as essential for which no efficient alternatives appear currently to be available for the control of harmful organisms.
(12) Any period of grace for disposal, storage, placing on the market and use of existing stocks of plant protection products containing endosulfan allowed by Member States, should be limited to a period no longer than 12 months to allow existing stocks to be used in no more than one further growing season.
(13) This Decision does not prejudice any action the Commission may undertake at a later stage for this active substance within the framework of Council Directive 79/117/EEC of 21 December 1978 prohibiting the placing on the market and use of plant protection products containing certain active substances (5),
(14) This decision does not prejudice the submission of an application for endosulfan according to the provisions of Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC in view of a possible inclusion in its Annex I.
(15) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Endosulfan shall not be included as active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
Member States shall ensure that:
1. authorisations for plant protection products containing endosulfan are withdrawn by 2 June 2006;
2. from 3 December 2005 no authorisations for plant protection products containing endosulfan are granted or renewed under the derogation provided for in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC;
3. in relation to the uses listed in column B of the Annex, a Member State specified in column A may maintain in force authorisations for plant protection products containing endosulfan until 30 June 2007 provided that it:
(a) ensures that such plant protection products remaining on the market are relabelled in order to match the restricted use conditions;
(b) imposes all appropriate risk mitigation measures to reduce any possible risks in order to ensure the protection of human and animal health and the environment; and
(c) ensures that alternative products or methods for such uses are being seriously sought, in particular, by means of action plans.
The Member State concerned shall inform the Commission on 31 December 2005 at the latest on the application of this paragraph and in particular on the actions taken pursuant to points (a) to (c) and provide on a yearly basis estimates of the amounts of endosulfan used for essential uses pursuant to this Article.
Any period of grace granted by Member States in accordance with the provisions of Article 4(6) of Directive 91/414/EEC, shall be as short as possible and:
(a) for the uses for which the authorisation is to be withdrawn on 2 June 2006, shall expire not later than 2 June 2007;
(b) for the uses for which the authorisation is to be withdrawn by 30 June 2007, shall expire not later than 31 December 2007.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 362 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 362 of the Act of Accession provides that during the period of progressive elimination of customs duties between the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 and Portugal, certain kinds of sardine, tuna, fish of the genus Euthynnus, certain kinds of mackerel and fish of the species Orcynopsis unicolor, prepared or preserved, falling within CN codes ex 1604 13 10, ex 1604 20 50, 1604 14 10, 1604 19 30, 1604 20 70, 1604 15 10, 1604 19 50 and ex 1604 20 50 and coming from Portugal, may be imported free of duty into the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 within the limits of annual Community tariff quotas of 5 000 tonnes, 1 000 tonnes and 1 000 tonnes respectively;
Whereas, by virtue of Regulations (EEC) No 3482/88 (1), (EEC) No 839/88 (2) and (EEC) No 1673/89 (3), the customs duties applicable on import into the Community, excluding Spain, of certain prepared or preserved fish other than tuna, coming from Portugal, are suspended; whereas therefore it is appropriate to open, for 1991, only the Community tariff quota laid down for the said tuna, prepared or preserved;
Whereas equal and continuous access to the quota should be ensured for all Community importers and the rate laid down for the quota should be applied consistently to all imports of the products in question into all the Member States until the quota is exhausted; whereas it is appropriate to take the necessary measures to ensure effective Community administration of this tariff quota while offering the Member States the opportunity to draw from the quota volume the necessary quantities corresponding to actual imports; whereas this method of administration requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission;
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within, and jointly represented by, the Benelux Economic Union, any operation concerning the administration of the quota may be carried out by any one of its members,
From 1 January to 31 December 1991 the customs duty on imports into the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985, for the following products from Portugal, shall be totally suspended within the limit of Community tariff quota as shown herewith: >TABLE>
(a) Taric code: 1604 14 10*10 1604 10 70*10
The tariff quota referred to in Article 1 shall be administered by the Commission, which may take any appropriate measure with a view to ensuring the effective administration thereof.
If an importer presents, in a Member State, a declaration of entry into free circulation including a request for preferential benefit for a product covered by this Regulation, and if this declaration is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall draw, from the tariff quota, by means of notification to the Commission, a quantity corresponding to these needs.
The requests for drawing, with the indication of the date of acceptance of the said declaration, must be communicated to the Commission without delay.
The drawings are granted by the Commission on the basis of the date of acceptance of the declaration of entry into free circulation by the customs authorities of the Member State concerned, to the extent that the available balance so permits.
If a Member State does not use the quantities drawn, it shall return them as soon as possible to the tariff quota.
If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the tariff quota, allocation shall be made on a pro rata basis with respect to the requests. Member States shall be informed by the Commission of the drawings made.
Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the product concerned have equal and continuous access to the quota for such time as the residual balance of the quota volume so permits.
The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1991.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

For clopyralid the rapporteur Member State was Finland and all relevant information was submitted on 2 December 2003. For cyprodinil and fosetyl the rapporteur Member State was France and all relevant information was submitted on 16 January 2004 and 20 October 2003 respectively. For trinexapac the rapporteur Member State was The Netherlands and all relevant information was submitted on 7 November 2003.
(3) The assessment reports have been peer reviewed by the Member States and the EFSA and presented to the Commission on 14 December 2005 in the format of the EFSA Scientific Reports for clopyralid, cyprodinil, fosetyl and trinexapac (4). These reports have been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 4 April 2006 in the format of the Commission review reports for clopyralid, cyprodinil, fosetyl and trinexapac.
(4) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing clopyralid, cyprodinil, fosetyl and trinexapac may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1) (a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review reports. It is therefore appropriate to include these active substances in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing these active substances can be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.
(5) Without prejudice to that conclusion, it is appropriate to obtain further information on certain specific points concerning clopyralid, cyprodinil and fosetyl. Article 6(1) of Directive 91/414/EC provides that inclusion of a substance in Annex I may be subject to conditions. Therefore it is appropriate to require that clopyralid, cyprodinil and fosetyl should be subjected to further testing for confirmation of the risk assessment for some issues and that such studies should be presented by the notifiers.
(6) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the inclusion.
(7) Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Directive 91/414/EEC as a consequence of including an active substance in Annex I, Member States should be allowed a period of six months after inclusion to review existing authorisations of plant protection products containing clopyralid, cyprodinil, fosetyl and trinexapac to ensure that the requirements laid down by Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular in its Article 13 and the relevant conditions set out in Annex I, are satisfied. Member States should vary, replace or withdraw, as appropriate, existing authorisations, in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. By way of derogation from the above deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC.
(8) The experience gained from previous inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 (5) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I.
(9) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(10) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
Member States shall adopt and publish by 31 October 2007 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 November 2007.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
1. Member States shall in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing clopyralid, cyprodinil, fosetyl and trinexapac as active substances by 31 October 2007.
By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to that Directive relating to clopyralid, cyprodinil, fosetyl and trinexapac are met, with the exception of those identified in part B of the entry concerning that active substance, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive in accordance with the conditions of Article 13 of that Directive.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing clopyralid, cyprodinil, fosetyl and trinexapac as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by 30 April 2007 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to that Directive and taking into account part B of the entry in Annex I to that Directive concerning clopyralid, cyprodinil, fosetyl and trinexapac respectively. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 4(1)(b), (c), (d) and (e) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
Following that determination Member States shall:
(a) in the case of a product containing clopyralid, cyprodinil, fosetyl and trinexapac as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 30 April 2011 at the latest;
(b) in the case of a product containing clopyralid, cyprodinil, fosetyl and trinexapac as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 30 April 2011 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective Directive or Directives which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, whichever is the latest.
This Directive shall enter into force on 1 May 2007.

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1122/92 of 28 April 1992 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1796/81 on measures applicable to imports of preserved cultivated mushrooms
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
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), and in particular Article 17 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1796/81 (2) provides for an amount additional to the customs duty to be levied on imports of preserved cultivated mushrooms falling within subheading ex 20.02 A of the Common Customs Tariff in excess of a certain quantity;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 964/91 of 18 April 1991 concerning the classification of certain goods in the combined nomenclature (2), classified under CN code 2003 10 10 certain completely simmered cultivated mushrooms of the Agaricus species which have undergone treatment to preserve them better during transport and storage prior to processing and which are generally used as a raw material by the preserves industry; whereas these products must therefore be subject to the import arrangements provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 1796/81;
Whereas for some time there has been a marked increase in imports of cultivated mushrooms which have been preserved, provisionally falling within CN code 0711 90 40, and they are now far in excess of the quantities traditionally placed in free circulation in the Community; whereas these products are used in the Community to manufacture preserved mushrooms; whereas in these circumstances Regulation (EEC) No 1796/81 should be applied to mushrooms which have been preserved provisionally, so as to ensure that the measures adopted for preserved mushrooms continue to be effective;
Whereas, however, so that trade between the Community and the countries which export these mushrooms can continue, the quantity provided for in the present legislation should be adjusted to the new situation;
Whereas in order to take account of existing trade flows it appears advisable to take as a basis for adjusting the quantity which is not subject to the levying of an additional amount the traditional pattern of trade in the mushrooms in question; whereas 1990 and 1991 should be the reference years for this purpose;
Whereas the Interim Agreement between the European Economic Community and Poland provides for the quantity allocated to that country under the import arrangements provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 1796/81 to be increased each year during the first five years for which it applies; whereas the overall quantity must take account of this increase as from 1992;
Whereas, given the features of supply from third countries on the Community market, the latter may be managed by fixing the additional amount so as to take account of the difference in production costs in the Community and the third countries concerned since the prices of the products in question fluctuate substantially and there is a need to discourage imports in excess of the quantity exempt from the additional amount;
Whereas the arrangements in question now concern two different presentations of mushrooms; whereas account should be taken of this situation when the additional amount is fixed and a different amount should be fixed for the two presentations concerned in line with the criteria set out above; whereas that amount should also be expressed in terms of a common unit of weight for the two presentations of mushrooms;
Whereas, in the interest of clarity, provisions which refer to Regulations which have since been repealed should be amended,
Regulation (EEC) No 1796/81 is hereby amended as follows:
1. in the title the words 'preserved cultivated mushrooms' shall be replaced by 'mushrooms of the species Agaricus spp. falling within CN codes 0711 90 40, 2003 10 20 and 2003 10 30'.
2. Article 1 shall be replaced by the following:
'Article 1
All entry into free circulation in the Community of mushrooms of the species Agaricus spp. falling within CN codes 0711 90 40, 2003 10 20 and 2003 10 30 (1) other than that referred to in Article 4 shall be subject to the levying of an additional amount for quantities in excess of those laid down in Article 3.
(1) Taric codes for 1992: 0711 90 50*20, 2003 10 10*31 and *81, 2003 10 10*39 and *89.'
3. Article 2 (1) shall be replaced by the following:
'1. The additional amount is hereby fixed at ECU 278/100 kg drained for mushrooms of the species Agaricus spp. falling within CN code 2003 10 30 and at ECU 239/100 kg drained for mushrooms of the species Agaricus spp. falling within CN codes 0711 90 40 and 2003 10 20.'
4. Article 3 shall be replaced by the following:
'Article 3
1. The quantity referred to in Article 1 is hereby fixed at 57 620 tonnes for 1992, 58 460 tonnes for 1993, 59 860 tonnes for 1994, 61 260 tonnes for 1995 and 62 660 tonnes as from 1996.
2. Of this quantity, 28 840 tonnes are hereby allocated to Poland for 1992, 29 680 tonnes for 1993, 31 080 tonnes for 1994, 32 480 tonnes for 1995 and 33 880 tonnes as from 1996.
3. The remainder shall be allocated each year among the other supplier countries, account being taken of traditional Community trade flows and, in an appropriate manner, of any new suppliers.
4. The quantities shall be expressed in net weight excluding covering liquid (net drained weight) for mushrooms falling within CN codes 0711 90 40, 2003 10 20 and 2003 10 30.'
5. In Articles 4 and 6 the reference to Article 20 of Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 shall be replaced by a reference to Article 22 of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3924/86 of 16 December 1986 applying generalized tariff preferences for 1987 in respect of certain industrial products originating in developing countries (1), and in particular Article 15 thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 3924/86 duties on the products listed in Annex II originating in each of the countries or territories listed in Annex III shall be totally suspended and the products as such shall, as a general rule, be subject to statistical surveillance every three months on the reference base referred to in Article 14;
Whereas, as provided for in Article 14 where the increase of preferential imports of these products, originating in one or more beneficiary countries, causes, or threatens to cause, economic difficulties in the Community or in a region of the Community, the levying of customs duties may be re-established once the Commission has had an appropriate exchange of information with the Member States; whereas for this purpose the reference base to be considered shall be, as a general rule, equal to 5 % of the total importations into the Community, originating from third countries in 1984;
Whereas, in the case of dolls falling within heading No 97.02 of the Common Customs Tariff, the reference base is fixed at 9 680 000 ECU; whereas, on 18 November 1987, imports of these products into the Community originating in the Philippines reached the reference base in question after being charged there against; whereas the exchange of information organized by the Commission has demonstrated that continuance of the preference threatens to cause economic difficulties in a region of the Community; whereas, therefore, customs duties in respect of the products in question must be re-established against the Philippines,
As from 27 November 1987, the levying of customs duties, suspended pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3924/86, shall be re-established on imports into the Community of the following products originating in the Philippines:

Having regard to Council Directive 89/392/EEC of 14 June 1989 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to machinery (1), as last amended by Directive 93/68/EEC (2), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the committee set up by Council Directive 83/189/EEC (3), as last amended by Commission Decision 96/139/EC (4),
Whereas Article 2 of Directive 89/392/EEC states that machinery may be placed on the market and put into service only if it does not endanger the health or safety of persons and, where appropriate, domestic animals or property, when properly installed and maintained and used for its intended purpose;
Whereas machinery is presumed to conform to the essential health and safety requirements referred to in Article 3 of Directive 89/392/EEC if it is in conformity with the harmonised standards whose references have been published in the Official Journal of the European Communities;
Whereas Member States are required to publish the references of national standards transposing harmonised standards;
Whereas France considers that EN 692 standard 'Mechanical presses - safety` does not fully satisfy the abovementioned essential requirements;
Whereas the Commission, after examining the information notified by France, acknowledges that there are defects in that standard regarding presses with full-revolution clutches, which could expose users to serious danger;
Whereas it appears that the parts of the standard relating to guards and control guards and those relating to the use of closed tools as a means of protection should be clarified; whereas accordingly, a standardisation mandate will have to be given to the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) to amend the standard as soon as possible;
Whereas, while awaiting the amendment of the standard and in the interests of efficiency, account should be taken of the defects noted, although these do not affect manufacturers of presses with friction clutches covered by the same standard;
Whereas, therefore, EN 692 standard should be published along with an appropriate warning,
The publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities, in accordance with Article 5(2) of Directive 89/392/EEC, of harmonised EN 692 standard 'Mechanical presses - safety` adopted by the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) on 16 March 1996, shall be accompanied by the following warning:

amending Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council on cosmetic products
(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 1223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 November 2009 on cosmetic products (1), and in particular Article 31(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Parabens are regulated as preservatives in entry 12 of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 on cosmetic products under the denomination 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and its salts and esters, with a maximum concentration of 0,4 % for single ester and 0,8 % for mixtures of esters.
(2) The Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS), established pursuant to Commission Decision 2008/721/EC (2), adopted an opinion on parabens in December 2010 (3). This opinion was followed by a clarification of October 2011 (4) in response to a unilateral decision by Denmark to ban propylparaben and butylparaben, their isoforms and their salts in cosmetic products for children under three years of age based on those substances' potential endocrine activity, taken in accordance with Article 12 of Council Directive 76/768/EEC (5). The conclusions of 2010 and 2011 were confirmed by the SCCS in an additional opinion of May 2013 (6), which the Commission had requested in light of a new study on the reprotoxicity of propylparaben.
(3) In the above-mentioned opinions, which concerned all the long-chain parabens, the SCCS confirmed that methylparaben and ethylparaben are safe at the maximum authorized concentrations.
(4) Isopropylparaben, isobutylparaben, phenylparaben, benzylparaben and pentylparaben were banned by Commission Regulation (EU) No 358/2014 (7).
(5) The SCCS concluded that the use of butylparaben and propylparaben as preservatives in finished cosmetic products is safe to the consumer, as long as the sum of their individual concentrations does not exceed 0,19 % (as esters).
(6) For general cosmetic products containing butylparaben and propylparaben, excluding specific products for the nappy area, the SCCS concluded that there was no safety concern for children of any age group as the margin of safety was based on very conservative assumptions, with regards to both toxicity and exposure.
(7) However, the SCCS maintained that concerning butylparaben and propylparaben present in leave-on cosmetic products designed for application on the nappy area of children below the age of six months, a risk could not be excluded in the light of both immature metabolism of such children and the possibility of damaged skin in the nappy area. Based on a worst case assumption of exposure, safety concerns might be raised.
(8) No concerns were raised on the safety of 4-Hydroxybenzoic acid and its salts (calcium paraben, sodium paraben, potassium paraben).
(9) The Commission considers that the continued use of butylparaben and propylparaben under the current conditions may constitute a potential risk for human health. It therefore considers that the conditions for their use should be aligned with the recommendations of the SCCS.
(10) For reasons of consistency with the current entry 12 of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, the recommended maximum concentration of 0,19 % as esters for the substances listed in entry 12a should be converted to be expressed into its equivalent as acid, 0,14 %. In addition, the sodium and potassium salts of butyl and propylparabens should be submitted to the same conditions of use as butyl and propylparabens themselves, given that the SCCS never reported a different behaviour (in the chemistry or toxicity) of the salts compared to the esters in any of its previous opinions.
(11) In the absence of any indication to the contrary from the SCCS, the maximum concentration of 0,8 % for the sum of all parabens contained in a cosmetic product already foreseen by entry 12 of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 should be maintained.
(12) In light of the concerns raised by the SCCS regarding the use of parabens in leave-on cosmetic products designed for application on the nappy area of children under the age of six months, and for practical reasons linked to the fact that products for infants are usually marketed for children under three years, butylparaben and propylparaben should be prohibited in leave-on cosmetic products designed for application on the nappy area of children below three years.
(13) Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(14) The application of the above-mentioned restrictions should be deferred to allow the industry to make the necessary adjustments to product formulations. In particular, undertakings should be granted six months to place on the market compliant products, and twelve months to withdraw from the market non-compliant products after the entry into force of this Regulation.
(15) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Cosmetic Products,
Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
From 16 April 2015 only cosmetic products which comply with this Regulation shall be placed on the Union market.
From 16 October 2015 only cosmetic products which comply with this Regulation shall be made available on the Union market.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 16 April 2015.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

(88/1/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 of 18 December 1986 on Community measures to improve and adapt structures in the fisheries and aquaculture sector (1), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas on 30 April 1987 the French Government forwarded to the Commission a multiannual guidance programme for aquaculture and the provision of protected marine areas, hereinafter referred to as 'the programme'; whereas on 18 August 1987 it forwarded the latest additional information concerning the programme;
Whereas the aim of the programme is substantial development of aquaculture in France, mainly in sea water but also in fresh water; whereas, in addition to the expansion of traditional shellfish farming, provision is also made for diversification to many new species, particularly in sea water; whereas investments of approximately 230 million ECU are estimated to be necessary for the completion of the programme;
Whereas, having regard to the foreseeable trend in fishery resources, the market for fishery and aquaculture products, the measures adopted under the common fisheries policy and the guidelines for the latter, the programme meets the conditions laid down in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 and constitutes a suitable framework for Community and national financial aid for the sector concerned;
Whereas, however, it is an ambitious programme the completion of which could come up against technical difficulties, in particular for oyster farming and the new species of seawater fish concerned, or commercial difficulties in particular as regards Salmonidae; whereas special attention should be given to the technical practicability and economic profitability of the investments planned;
Whereas integrated development operations relating to the aquaculture sector are at present being planned in the French overseas departments; whereas approval of that part of the programme relating to those departments should be partly deferred;
Whereas the aquaculture sector is developing in a commercial environment, a feature of which is the development of international competition;

of 11 July 2001
fixing the export refunds on olive oil
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2826/2000(2), and in particular Article 3(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 3 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that, where prices within the Community are higher than world market prices, the difference between these prices may be covered by a refund when olive oil is exported to third countries.
(2) The detailed rules for fixing and granting export refunds on olive oil are contained in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 616/72(3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2962/77(4).
(3) Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund must be the same for the whole Community.
(4) In accordance with Article 3(4) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, the refund for olive oil must be fixed in the light of the existing situation and outlook in relation to olive oil prices and availability on the Community market and olive oil prices on the world market. However, where the world market situation is such that the most favourable olive oil prices cannot be determined, account may be taken of the price of the main competing vegetable oils on the world market and the difference recorded between that price and the price of olive oil during a representative period. The amount of the refund may not exceed the difference between the price of olive oil in the Community and that on the world market, adjusted, where appropriate, to take account of export costs for the products on the world market.
(5) In accordance with Article 3(3) third indent, point (b) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, it may be decided that the refund shall be fixed by tender. The tendering procedure should cover the amount of the refund and may be limited to certain countries of destination, quantities, qualities and presentations.
(6) The second indent of Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund on olive oil may be varied according to destination where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The refund must be fixed at least once every month. It may, if necessary, be altered in the intervening period.
(8) It follows from applying these detailed rules to the present situation on the market in olive oil and in particular to olive oil prices within the Community and on the markets of third countries that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(9) The Management Committee for Oils and Fats has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(2)(c) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 12 July 2001.

of 13 May 1985
opening, allocating and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for sweet clear-fleshed cherries, marinated in alcohol and intended for the manufacture of chocolate products, falling within subheading ex 20.06 B I e) 2 bb) of the Common Customs Tariff
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Having regard to the draft Regulation submitted by the Commission,
Whereas the production of sweet clear-fleshed cherries, marinated in alcohol and intended for the manufacture of chocolate products, is currently insufficient in the Community to meet the requirements of the user industries in the Community; whereas, consequently, Community supplies of products of this type depend to a considerable extent on imports from third countries; whereas it is in the Community's interest to partially suspend the Common Customs Tariff duty for the products in question, within a Community tariff quota of an appropriate volume; whereas, in order not to bring into question the development prospects of this production in the Community while ensuring an adequate supply to satisfy user industries, it is advisable to limit the benefits of tariff quotas solely to products which meet certain criteria as to presentation and use, to open the quota for the period 1 July to 31 December 1985 and to fix the volume of this quota at a level of 1 500 tonnes, corresponding to the needs for imports from third countries during that period, and to fix the quota duty at 10 %;
Whereas equal and continuous access to the quota should be ensured for all Community importers and the rate of duty for the tariff quota should be applied consistently to all imports until the quota is exhausted; whereas, in the light of these principles, arrangements for the utilization of the tariff quota based on an allocation among Member States would seem to be consistent with the Community nature of the quota; whereas, to correspond as closely as possible to the actual trend in the market on the product in question, allocation of the quota should be in proportion to the requirements of the Member States as calculated by reference to statistics of imports from third countries during a representative reference period and to the economic outlook for the quota period in question;
Whereas, however, since the quota is an autonomous Community tariff quota intended to cover import needs arising in the Community, the quota volume may be allocated on the basis of the estimated temporary import needs from third countries of each of the Member States; whereas these arrangements for allocation will also ensure the uniform application of the Common Customs Tariff;
Whereas, to take account of possible import trends for the product concerned, the quota volume should be divided into two tranches, the first being allocated between certain Member States and the second held as a reserve to meet subsequent requirements of Member States which have used up their initial shares; whereas, to give importers of the Member States some degree of certainty, the first tranche of the tariff quota should be fixed at a relatively high level, which in this case could be 1 330 tonnes;
Whereas the initial shares of the Member States may be used up at different rates; whereas, to avoid disruption of supplies on this account, any Member State which has almost entirely used up its initial share should draw an additional share from the reserve; whereas, each time its additional share is almost entirely used up, a Member State should draw a further share and so on as many times as the reserve allows; whereas the initial and additional shares should be valid until the end of the quota period; whereas this form of administration requires close collaboration between the Member States and the Commission, which latter must be in a position to keep account of the extent to which the quota has been used up and to inform the Member States accordingly; Whereas, if at a given date in the quota period a considerable quantity of a Member State's initial share remains unused, it is essential that that Member State should return a significant proportion to the reserve, in order to prevent a part of the Community quota remaining unused in one Member State while it could be used in others;
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any measure concerning the administration of the shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
1. From 1 July to 31 December 1985, the Common Customs Tariff duty on sweet clear-fleshed cherries, marinated in alcohol, of a diameter not exceeding 18,9 mm, stoned, intended for the manufacture of chocolate products (1), falling within subheading ex 20.06 B I e) 2 bb), shall be suspended at a level of 10 % within the framework of a Community tariff quota of 1 500 tonnes.
2. Within the limits of the tariff quota, Greece shall apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions in the 1979 Act of Accession.
1. A first tranche of 1 330 tonnes of this Community tariff quota shall be allocated among certain Member States; the shares, which subject to Article 5 shall be valid until 31 December 1985, shall be as follows:
1.2 // // (tonnes) // Benelux // 5 // Denmark // 5 // Germany // 1 080 // Greece // 50 // France // 11 // Ireland // 5 // Italy // 169 // United Kingdom // 5
2. The second tranche of 170 tonnes shall constitute the reserve.
1. If a Member State has used 90 % or more of its initial share as fixed in Article 2 (1), or of that share minus any portion returned to the reserve pursuant to Article 5, it shall forthwith, by notifying the Commission, draw a second share, to the extent that the reserve so permits, equal to 10 % of its initial share rounded up as necessary to the next whole number.
2. If a Member State, after exhausting its initial share, has used 90 % or more of the second share drawn thereby, that Member State shall forthwith, in the manner and to the extent provided in paragraph 1, draw a third share equal to 5 % of its initial share rounded up as necessary to the next whole number.
3. If a Member State, after exhausting its second share, has used 90 % or more of the third share drawn thereby, that Member State shall forthwith, in the manner and to the extent provided in paragraph 1, draw a fourth share equal to the third.
This process shall apply until the reserve is used up.
4. By way of derogation from paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, a Member State may draw shares lower than those specified in those paragraphs if there are grounds for believing that those specified may not be used in full. Any Member State applying this paragraph shall inform the Commission of its grounds for so doing.
Additional shares drawn pursuant to Article 3 shall be valid until 31 December 1985.
Member States shall, not later than 15 November 1985, return to the reserve the unused portion of their initial share which, on 1 November 1985, is in excess of 20 % of the initial volume. They may return a greater portion if there are grounds for believing that it may not be used in full.
Member States shall, not later than 15 November 1985, notify the Commission of the total quantities of the products in question imported up to 1 November 1985 and charged against the Community quota and of any portion of their initial shares returned to the reserve.
The Commission shall keep an account of the shares opened by the Member States pursuant to Articles 2 and 3 and shall, as soon as the notifications reach it, inform each Member State of the extent to which the reserve has been used up.
It shall, not later than 20 November 1985, inform the Member States of the amounts still in the reserve following any return of shares pursuant to Article 5.
It shall ensure that the drawing which exhausts the reserve does not exceed the balance available, and to this end shall notify the amount of that balance to the Member State making the last drawing.
1. Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that additional shares drawn pursuant to Article 3 are opened in such a way that imports may be charged without interruption against their aggregate shares of the Community tariff quota.
2. Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that the products listed in Article 1 (1) benefiting from the tariff quota in question are put to the prescribed end-use.
3. Member States shall ensure that importers of the product in question have free access to the shares allotted to them.
4. Member States shall charge imports of the product in question against their shares as the product is entered with the customs authorities for free circulation.
5. The extent to which Member States have used up their shares shall be determined on the basis of imports charged against them under the conditions set out in paragraph 4.
At the Commission's request, the Member States shall inform it of imports actually charged against their shares.
Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4135/86 of 22 December 1986 on common rules for imports of certain textile products originating in Yugoslavia (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3531/89 (2), and in particular Article 9 (3) thereof,
Whereas, by Regulation (EEC) No 4135/86, the importation of textile products originating in Yugoslavia was made subject to quantitative limitation and allocation among the Member States and to common rules for authorization;
Whereas trade fairs are to be held, as in previous years, in Berlin in 1990, at which Yugoslavia among other exporting countries is expected to participate; whereas the existing shares of Community quotas allocated to the Federal Republic of Germany may again be insufficient to meet the requirements of the trade fairs;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to open supplementary quotas for the Berlin Trade Fairs and to allocate these to the Federal Republic of Germany;
Whereas it is desirable that import authorizations should be issued in accordance with the requirements on origin specified in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 4135/86;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textile Committee - Yugoslavia set up by Regulation (EEC) No 4135/86,
In addition to the quantitative limits on imports established by Regulation (EEC) No 4135/86 supplementary quotas as set out in the Annex hereto shall be opened in respect of the Berlin Trade Fairs to be held in 1990 and shall be allocated to the Federal Republic of Germany.
1. The authorities of the Federal Republic of Germany shall authorize imports, not exceeding the supplementary quotas referred to in Article 1, only in respect of such contracts signed in Berlin during the Berlin Trade Fair as are recognized by those authorities as being eligible, provided that products covered by such approved contracts are placed on board for exportation to the Federal Republic of Germany in Yugoslavia after 15 October 1990.
2. The period of validity of import authorizations or equivalent documents issued in accordance with paragraph 1 shall not extend beyond 31 December 1991.
3. The Commission shall be informed not later than 31 December 1990 of the total quantities covered by contracts authorized under paragraph 1.
Importation of the textile products covered by authorization given in accordance with Article 2 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 4135/86.

(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2305/2003 (4) opens a Community tariff quota for barley. The quantity of barley covered by the quota should be increased in application of the Agreement approved by Decision 2006/333/EC.
(3) In the interests of simplification, the obsolete provisions of Regulation (EC) No 2305/2003, relating to 2004, should be deleted.
(4) In order to clarify the rules, it should be stipulated that import licence applications must be lodged on Monday at the latest but may be lodged earlier.
(5) With a view to modernising the administration of the system, provision should be made for the electronic transmission of the information required by the Commission.
(6) In order to clarify the rules, the expression ‘reduction coefficient’ should moreover be replaced by ‘allocation coefficient’.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.
(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of the preparation set out in the Annex to this Regulation. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) The application concerns a new use of the preparation of 6-phytase EC 3.1.3.26 (Ronozyme) produced by Aspergillus oryzae (DSM 14223), as a feed additive for ducks, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.
(4) The use of the preparation of 6-phytase EC 3.1.3.26 produced by Aspergillus oryzae (DSM 14223) was authorised without a time limit for chickens for fattening, laying hens, turkeys for fattening, piglets, pigs for fattening and sows by Commission Regulation (EC) No 255/2005 (2) and provisionally authorised for salmonids by Commission Regulation (EC) No 521/2005 (3).
(5) New data were submitted in support of an application for authorisation for ducks. The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinion of 10 July 2007 that the preparation of 6-phytase EC 3.1.3.26 (Ronozyme) produced by Aspergillus oryzae (DSM 14223) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment (4). It further concluded that the preparation does not present any other risk which would, in accordance with Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, exclude authorisation for this additional animal category. According to that opinion, the use of that preparation is efficacious in digestibility of feedingstuffs. Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(6) The assessment of that preparation shows that the conditions for authorisation, provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised, as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘digestibility enhancers’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Whereas it is necessary to extend the present period; whereas, however, in order to preserve an equitable balance between the interests of the authorities and of the persons concerned, it is necessary to extend the period in question to four months only;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements,
The second paragraph of Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1573/80 is hereby replaced by the following:
'Such decision must be taken within a period of four months from the date on which the request referred to in Article 4 is received by the Commission.'
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 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty(4),
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with the objectives of the Treaty, it is desirable to promote harmonious development of the activities of credit institutions throughout the Community, in particular as regards the issuance of electronic money.
(2) Certain institutions limit their activity primarily to the issuance of electronic money. To avoid any distortion of competition between electronic money issuers, even as regards application of monetary policy measures, it is advisable that these institutions, subject to suitable specific provisions taking into account their special characteristics, be brought within the scope of Directive 2000/12/EC(5).
(3) It is advisable, consequently, to extend to these institutions the definition of credit institutions provided for in Article 1 of Directive 2000/12/EC.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), as last amended by Decision 94/370/EC (2), and in particular Article 24 thereof,
Whereas Decision 90/424/EEC provides for the possibility of financial participation by the Community in the eradication and surveillance of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia;
Whereas by letter, Portugal has submitted a programme for the eradication of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia;
Whereas after examination of the programme it was found to comply with all Community criteria relating to the eradication of the disease in conformity with Council Decision 90/638/EEC of 27 November 1990 laying down Community criteria for the eradication and monitoring of certain animal diseases (3), as amended by Directive 92/65/EEC (4);
Whereas this programme appears on the priority list of programmes for the eradication and surveillance of animal diseases which can benefit from financial participation from the Community in 1998 and which was established by Commission Decision 97/681/EC (5);
Whereas in the light of the importance of the programme for the achievement of Community objectives in the field of animal health, it is appropriate to fix the financial participation of the Community at 50 % of the costs incurred by Portugal up to a maximum of ECU 1 400 000;
Whereas a financial contribution from the Community shall be granted in so far as the actions provided for are carried out and provided that the authorities furnish all the necessary information within the time limits provided for;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
The programme for the eradication of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia presented by Portugal is hereby approved for the period from 1 January to 31 December 1998.
Portugal shall bring into force by 1 January 1998 the laws, regulations and administrative provisions for implementing the programme referred to in Article 1.
1. Financial participation by the Community shall be at the rate of 50 % of the costs of testing and those incurred in Portugal by way of compensation for owners for the slaughter of animals up to a maximum of ECU 1 400 000.
2. The financial contribution of the Community shall be granted subject to:
- forwarding a report to the Commission every three months on the progress of the programme and the costs incurred,
- forwarding a final report on the technical execution of the programme accompanied by justifying evidence as to the costs incurred by 1 June 1999 at the latest,
- and provided that Community veterinary legislation has been respected.

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (1), and in particular Article 3 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
After consulting the Fund (EAGGF) committee,
Whereas, for intervention operations for which a unit amount has not been set by market organization rules, the basic rules applicable to Community financing are those of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 (2), in particular as concerns the method of establishing the amounts to be financed, the financing of expenditure resulting from the mobilization of the funds needed for intervention buying, the valuation of stocks to be carried over from one year to another and the financing of expenditure resulting from the physical operations of storage;
Whereas Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 provides that the interest charges incurred by Member States in mobilizing the funds used for public intervention buying are to be financed by the Community at a uniform interest rate;
Whereas it may appear in a Member State that the buying into public intervention of agricultural products can be financed only at interest rates which are substantially higher than the uniform interest rate;
Whereas provision should be made, in such cases, for a correcting mechanism to compensate for a part of the difference between the particularly high interest rate paid by the Member State and the uniform interest rate, while leaving responsibility for a part of the difference to the Member State in order to encourage it to seek the least costly financing method;
Whereas the mechanism introduced to that end in Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1571/93 (3) for a period of three years is functioning satisfactorily, but whereas that provision expired at the end of the 1995 financial year;
Whereas the substantial differences between the costs of financing which were noted in 1993 and were the reason for the introduction of that mechanism continue to exist; whereas it would therefore be useful to extend the period of application of the mechanism,
The third subparagraph Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 is hereby replaced by the following:
'The first subparagraph notwithstanding, if the interest rate borne by a Member State is more than twice the uniform interest rate, the Commission may, for the financial year 1996, in financing the interest costs incurred by that Member State, apply the uniform rate of interest plus the difference between double that rate and the actual rate borne by the Member State.`
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply to expenditure incurred from 1 October 1995.
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 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) Νo 1040/2004
of 27 May 2004
fixing the export refunds on products processed from cereals and rice
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), 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 (2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provide that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of those Regulations and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provides that when refunds are being fixed account must be taken of the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of cereals, rice and broken rice on the Community market on the one hand and prices for cereals, rice, broken rice and cereal products on the world market on the other. The same Articles provide that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the markets in cereals and rice and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports, and the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market.
(3) Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 (3) on the import and export system for products processed from cereals and from rice defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the refund on these products is being calculated.
(4) The refund to be granted in respect of certain processed products should be graduated on the basis of the ash, crude fibre, tegument, protein, fat and starch content of the individual product concerned, this content being a particularly good indicator of the quantity of basic product actually incorporated in the processed product.
(5) There is no need at present to fix an export refund for manioc, other tropical roots and tubers or flours obtained therefrom, given the economic aspect of potential exports and in particular the nature and origin of these products. For certain products processed from cereals, the insignificance of Community participation in world trade makes it unnecessary to fix an export refund at the present time.
(6) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.
(7) The refund must be fixed once a month. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(8) Certain processed maize products may undergo a heat treatment following which a refund might be granted that does not correspond to the quality of the product; whereas it should therefore be specified that on these products, containing pregelatinised starch, no export refund is to be granted.
(9) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and in Article 1(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 28 May 2004.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2010/83/EU
of 30 November 2010
amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC to include napropamide as active substance
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 (2) and (EC) No 1490/2002 (3) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the third stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and establish a list of active substances to be assessed with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list included napropamide. By Commission Decision 2008/902/EC (4) it was decided not to include napropamide in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(2) Pursuant to Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC, the original notifier, hereinafter ‘the applicant’, submitted a new application requesting the accelerated procedure to be applied, as provided for in Articles 14 to 19 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 of 17 January 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included into its Annex I (5).
(3) The application was submitted to Denmark, which had been designated rapporteur Member State by Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002. The time period for the accelerated procedure was respected. The specification of the active substance has been clarified. The supported uses are the same as those that were the subject of Decision 2008/902/EC. That application also complies with the remaining substantive and procedural requirements of Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008.
(4) Denmark evaluated the new information and data submitted by the applicant and prepared an additional report. It communicated that report to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) and to the Commission on 30 June 2009. The Authority communicated the additional report to the other Member States and the applicant for comments and forwarded the comments it had received to the Commission. In accordance with Article 20(1) of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 and at the request of the Commission, the Authority presented its conclusion on napropamide to the Commission on 26 March 2010 (6). The draft assessment report, the additional 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 28 October 2010 in the format of the Commission review report for napropamide.
(5) The additional report by the rapporteur Member State and the new conclusion by the Authority concentrate on the concerns that lead to the non-inclusion. Those concerns were in particular the potential contamination of groundwater by the metabolite 2-(1-naphthyloxy)propionic acid, hereinafter ‘NOPA’, and the risk to mammals, fish-eating birds and aquatic organisms. The new data submitted by the applicant show the following. The metabolite NOPA is neither of toxicological nor of biological relevance. Moreover, the risk to birds and mammals may be considered low, while for the risk for aquatic organisms acceptable uses were identified, on the basis of the additional data provided.
(6) Consequently, the additional data and information provided by the applicant permit to eliminate the specific concerns that led to the non-inclusion. No other open scientific questions have arisen.
(7) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing napropamide may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) 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 include napropamide in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing this active substance may be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.
(8) Without prejudice to that conclusion, it is appropriate to obtain further information on certain specific points. Article 6(1) of Directive 91/414/EC provides that the inclusion of a substance in Annex I may be subject to conditions. Therefore, it is appropriate to require that the applicant submits information on the aquatic risk for the photolysis metabolites and for NOPA, and information for the risk assessment of aquatic plants.
(9) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(10) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 30 June 2011 at the latest. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
This Directive shall enter into force on 1 January 2011.

Whereas a Portuguese import quota for 1988 for eggs in shell of combined nomenclature subheading 0407 00 30 was fixed by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 4071/87 (2);
Whereas Article 269 (2) (d) of the Act of Accession stipulates that if imports into Portugal in two consecutive years are less than 90 % of the annual quota opened the quantitative restrictions in force are to be abolished; whereas final import statistics show that in the case of eggs in shell of combined nomenclature subheading 0407 00 30 this percentage was not reached in either 1986 or 1987; whereas the quota for these eggs should therefore be abolished;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs,
The quota fixed by Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 4071/87 is abolished.

After consulting the Fund Committee,
Whereas:
(1) under Article 5(2)(b) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70, the Commission, on the basis of the annual accounts submitted by the Member States, accompanied by the information required for clearance and a certificate regarding the veracity, completeness, and accuracy of the accounts transmitted clears the accounts of the paying agencies referred to in Article 4(1) of that Regulation;
(2) with regard to Article 7(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 296/96 of 16 February 1996 on data to be forwarded by the Member States and the monthly booking of expenditure financed under the Guarantee Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2776/88(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2236/98(4), account is taken for the 1998 financial year of expenditure incurred by the Member States between 16 October 1997 and 15 October 1998;
(3) the time limits granted to the Member States for the submission to the Commission of the documents referred to in Article 5(1)(b) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 and in Article 4(1), (3) and (4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1663/95 of 7 July 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 regarding the procedure for the clearance of accounts of the EAGGF Guarantee Section(5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 896/97(6), have expired;
(4) the Commission has checked the information submitted and communicated to the Member States before the 31 March 1999 the results of its verifications with the necessary amendments;
(5) under the first subparagraph of Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1663/75, the accounts clearance decision referred to in Article 5(2)(b) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/740 must determine, without prejudice to decisions taken subsequently in accordance with paragraph 21(c) of that Article, the amount of expenditure effected in each Member State during the financial year in question recognised as being chargeable to the EAGGF Guarantee Section, on the basis of the accounts referred to in Article 5(1)(b) of the abovementioned Regulation and the reductions and suspensions of advances for the financial year concerned, including the reductions referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 296/96; under Article 102 of the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977, as last amended by Regulation (EC, ECSC, Euratom) No 2779/98(7), the outcome of the clearance decision, that is to say, any discrepancy which may occur between the total expenditure booked to the accounts for a financial year pursuant to Articles 100 and 101 and that total expenditure taken into consideration by the Commission in this Decision, is to be booked, under a single article, as additional expenditure or a reduction in expenditure;
(6) for certain paying agencies, the annual accounts and the accompanying documents permit the Commssion to take a decision on the completeness, accuracy and veracity of the accounts submitted; whereas in the light of the verifications made some of the accounts do not fulfil this condition and therefore part of the expenditure concerned cannot be recognised as chargeable to the EAGGF Guarantee Section; whereas Annex I lists the amounts cleared for each paying agency;
(7) in the light of the verifications made, the information submitted by certain other paying agencies requires additional inquiries and their accounts cannot therefore be cleared in this Decision; whereas Annex II lists the paying agencies concerned;
(8) Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 296/96, in liaison with Article 13 of Council Decision 94/729/EC of 31 October 1994 on budgetary disicpline(8), lays down that advances against bookings are to reduced for expenditure effected by the Member States after the limits or deadlines laid down; whereas, however, pursuant to Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 296/96, any overrun of deadlines during September and October are to be taken into account in the accounts clearance decision except where noted before the last decision of the financial year relating to advances; whereas part of the expenditure claimed by certain Member States during the abovementioned period and for the measures for which the Commission did not accept any extenuating circumstances was effected after the limits reductions; whereas laid down; this Decision should therefore lay down the relevant reductions; whereas a decision will be taken at a later date, in accordance with Article 5(2)(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70, definitively fixing the expendutre for which Community financing will not be granted regarding those reductions and any other expenditure which may be found to have been effected after the limits or deadlines laid down;
(9) the Commission, in accordance with Article 13 of Decision No 94/7296/EC and Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 296/96, reduced or suspended a number of monthly advances on entry into the accounts of expenditure for the 1998 financial year and proceeds in this Decision to the reductions laid down in Article 4(3) opf the above Regulation; whereas, notwithstanding their clearance under this Decision, a decision will be taken at a later date on the expenditure concerned in accordance with Article 5(2)(c) Regulation (EEC) No 729/70; whereas, in the light of the above, to avoid any premature or even only temporary reimbursement of the amounts in question, they should not be recognised in this Decision, without prejudice to further examination according to Article 5(2)(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70;
(10) the second subparagraph of Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1663/95, lays down that the amounts which are recoverable from, or payable to, each Member State in accordance with Annex III to this Decision are to be deducted from, or added to, advances against expenditure from the second month following that in which the accounts clearance decision is taken;
(11) in accordance with the final subparagraph of Article 5(2)(b) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 and Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1663/95, this Decision, adopted on the basis of accounting information, does not prejudice decisions taken subsequently by the Commission excluding from Community financing expenditure not effected in accordance with Community rules,
The accounts of the paying agencies of the Member States concerning expenditure financed by the EAGGF Guarantee Secion in respect of the 1998 financial year are hereby cleared as shown in Annex I.
The accounts of the paying agencies of the Member States concerning expenditure financed by the EAGGF Guarantee Section in respect of the 1998 financial year referred to in Annex II are disjoined from the present Decision and shall be the subject of a future decision.

opening an autonomous quota for imports of high-quality beef
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) In view of the Community's interest in developing harmonious trade relations with third countries, provision should be made for opening, as an autonomous measure, a Community import tariff quota of 1000 tonnes of high-quality fresh, chilled or frozen beef.
(2) In spite of the difficulties experienced in 2001, the beef market is now on the way to becoming more stable. Demand of consumers in the Community is increasing, especially for high-quality beef. An additional reduced-tariff-quota for high-quality beef would satisfy at the same time the consumer interests as well as supplier interests. It would not have a significant impact on the total volume of beef imports into the Community.
(3) All operators concerned in the Community should be offered equal and continuous access to that quota. It is also necessary to insure appropriate monitoring. To this end, the utilisation of the quota should be based on the presentation of a certificate of authenticity guaranteeing the type and origin of the products.
(4) Under Article 32 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal(1), tariff quotas for the products covered by this Regulation are to be administered by the Commission in accordance with detailed rules adopted under the procedure laid down in Article 43 of the said Regulation,
1. An annual Community import tariff quota of 1000 tonnes, expressed in product weight, of high-quality fresh, chilled or frozen beef falling within positions 0201 30 00 and 0202 30 90 of the Common Customs Tariff is opened.
2. The applicable duty for the quota shall be 20 % ad valorem.
3. The quota year shall run from 1 July to 30 June.
Detailed rules for the application of this Regulation, adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 43 of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999, shall include provisions making the utilisation of the quota referred to in Article 1 subject to the presentation of a certificate of authenticity guaranteeing the type and origin of the products.

Whereas the abovementioned forward estimate indicates the existence of surpluses of all types of table wine and of table wines which stand in close economic relationship to those types of table wine; whereas it is necessary by the same token to open this possibility for grape must, concentrated grape must and rectified concentrated grape must;
Whereas the market for must and concentrated must for grape juice production is expanding and to promote uses of vine products other than winemaking permission should be granted for must and concentrated grape must placed under a storage contract covered by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1059/83 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2537/95 (4), that is intended for grape juice production to be sold from the fifth month of the contract onwards on simple notification by the producer to the intervention agency; whereas to promote export of these products this same possibility should apply;

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1048/2012
of 8 November 2012
on the authorisation of a health claim made on foods and referring to the reduction of disease risk
(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 1924/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 on nutrition and health claims made on foods (1), and in particular Article 17(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 health claims made on foods are prohibited unless they are authorised by the Commission in accordance with that Regulation and included in a list of permitted claims.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 also provides that applications for authorisations of health claims may be submitted by food business operators to the national competent authority of a Member State. The national competent authority is to forward valid applications to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), hereinafter referred to as ‘the Authority’.
(3) Following receipt of an application the Authority is to inform without delay the other Member States and the Commission thereof, and to deliver an opinion on the health claim concerned.
(4) The Commission is to decide on the authorisation of health claims taking into account the opinion delivered by the Authority.
(5) Following an application from Cargill Incorporated, submitted pursuant to Article 14(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 and requesting the protection of proprietary data for one meta-analysis (2) and for information pertaining to the production process of barley ‘betafiber’ (BarlivTM), the Authority was required to deliver an opinion on a health claim related to the effects of barley beta-glucans on lowering of blood cholesterol and reduced risk of (coronary) heart disease (Question No EFSA-Q-2011-00798) (3). The claim proposed by the applicant was worded as follows: ‘Barley beta-glucan has been shown to lower/reduce blood cholesterol. Blood cholesterol lowering may reduce the risk of (coronary) heart disease’.
(6) On the basis of the data presented, the Authority concluded in its opinion received by the Commission and the Member States on 8 December 2011 that a cause and effect relationship had been established between the consumption of barley beta-glucans and lowering of blood LDL-cholesterol concentrations. Accordingly, a health claim reflecting this conclusion should be considered as complying with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, and should be included in the Union list of permitted claims. The meta-analysis and information pertaining to the production process of barley ‘betafiber’ (BarlivTM), claimed by the applicant as proprietary, were not considered necessary by the Authority for reaching its conclusion. It is therefore considered that the requirement laid down in point (c) of Article 21(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 is not fulfilled and accordingly, protection of proprietary data should not be granted.
(7) Following an application from Valens Int. d.o.o., submitted pursuant to Article 14(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, the Authority was required to deliver an opinion on a health claim related to the effects of barley beta-glucans on lowering of blood cholesterol and reduced risk of (coronary) heart disease (Question No EFSA-Q-2011-00799) (4). The claim proposed by the applicant was worded as follows: ‘Barley beta-glucan has been shown to reduce blood cholesterol. Blood cholesterol lowering may reduce the risk of heart disease’.
(8) On the basis of the data presented, the Authority concluded in its opinion received by the Commission and the Member States on 8 December 2011 that a cause and effect relationship had been established between the consumption of barley beta-glucans and lowering of blood LDL-cholesterol concentrations. Accordingly, a health claim reflecting this conclusion should be considered as complying with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, and should be included in the Union list of permitted claims.
(9) Article 16(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 provides that an opinion in favour of authorising a health claim should include certain particulars. Accordingly, those particulars should be set out in the Annex to this Regulation as regards the authorised claim and include, as the case may be, the revised wording of the claim, specific conditions of use of the claim, and, where applicable, conditions or restrictions of use of the food and/or an additional statement or warning, in accordance with the rules laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 and in line with the opinions of the Authority.
(10) One of the objectives of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 is to ensure that health claims are truthful, clear and reliable and useful to the consumer, and that wording and presentation are taken into account in that respect. Therefore where the wording of claims has the same meaning for consumers as that of an authorised health claim, because they demonstrate the same relationship that exists between a food category, a food or one of its constituents and health, they should be subject to the same conditions of use indicated in the Annex to this Regulation.
(11) The comments from the applicants and the members of the public received by the Commission pursuant to Article 16(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 have been considered when setting the measures provided for in this Regulation.
(12) 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 have opposed them,
1. The health claim listed in the Annex to this Regulation may be made on foods on the European Union market in compliance with the conditions laid down in that Annex.
2. The health claim referred to in paragraph 1 shall be included in the Union list of permitted claims as provided for in Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 of 15 June 1992 concerning specific measures for the Canary Islands with regard to certain agricultural products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2348/96 (2), and in particular Article 3 (4) thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92, Commission Regulation (EC) No 1361/96 (3) establishes the forecast balance for the supply of certain vegetable oils for the 1996/97 marketing year;
Whereas that balance can be revised during the course of the year in line with the islands' needs; whereas information supplied by the competent authorities justifies an increase in the quantity of vegetable oils intended for direct consumption for the 1996/97 marketing year; whereas, therefore, the forecast balance for the supply to the Canary Islands of that product should be adjusted;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1361/96 is hereby replaced by the following:
'Article 1
The quantities of the forecast supply balance for the Canary Islands for certain vegetable oils for the 1996/97 marketing year which qualify for exemption from customs duties on import or which benefit from the aid for supply from the rest of the Community shall be as follows:

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1288/2005
of 4 August 2005
initiating an investigation concerning the possible circumvention of anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 964/2003 on imports of certain tube or pipe fittings, of iron or steel originating, inter alia, in the People’s Republic of China by imports of certain tube or pipe fittings, of iron or steel, consigned from the Philippines, whether declared as originating in the Philippines or not, and making such imports subject to registration
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (the basic Regulation), and in particular Articles 13(3), 14(3) and 14(5) thereof,
After having consulted the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. REQUEST
(1) The Commission has received a request pursuant to Article 13(3) of the basic Regulation to investigate the possible circumvention of the anti-dumping measures imposed on imports of certain tube or pipe fittings, of iron or steel, originating, inter alia, in the People’s Republic of China.
(2) The request was lodged on 23 June 2005 by the Defence Committee of the Steel Butt-Welding Fittings Industry of the European Union on behalf of four Community producers.
B. PRODUCT
(3) The product concerned by the possible circumvention is tube or pipe fittings (other than cast fittings, flanges and threaded fittings), of iron or steel (not including stainless steel), with a greatest external diameter not exceeding 609,6 mm, of a kind used for butt-welding or other purposes, normally declared under CN codes ex 7307 93 11, ex 7307 93 19, ex 7307 99 30 and ex 7307 99 90 originating in the People’s Republic of China (the product concerned). These codes are given for information only.
(4) The product under investigation is tube or pipe fittings (other than cast fittings, flanges and threaded fittings), of iron or steel (not including stainless steel), with a greatest external diameter not exceeding 609,6 mm, of a kind used for butt-welding or other purposes, consigned from the Philippines (the product under investigation) normally declared under the same codes as the product concerned.
C. EXISTING MEASURES
(5) The measures currently in force and possibly being circumvented are anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 964/2003 (2) as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2212/2003 (3).
D. GROUNDS
(6) The request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the anti-dumping measures on imports of certain tube or pipe fittings, of iron or steel, originating in the People’s Republic of China are being circumvented by means of the transhipment and incorrect declaration of origin via the Philippines of certain tube or pipe fittings, of iron or steel.
(7) The evidence submitted is as follows.
The request shows that a significant change in the pattern of trade involving exports from the People’s Republic of China and the Philippines to the Community has taken place following the imposition of measures on the product concerned, and that there is insufficient due cause or justification other than the imposition of the duty for such a change. This change in the pattern of trade appears to stem from the transhipment and incorrect declaration of origin of certain tube or pipe fittings, of iron or steel, originating in the People’s Republic of China via the Philippines.
Furthermore, the request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the remedial effects of the existing anti-dumping measures on the product concerned are being undermined in terms of quantities. Significant volumes of imports of certain tube or pipe fittings, of iron or steel, from the Philippines appear to have replaced imports of the product concerned originating in the People’s Republic of China.
Finally, the request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the prices of certain tube or pipe fittings, of iron or steel, are dumped in relation to the normal value previously established for the product concerned.
Should circumvention practices via the Philippines covered by Article 13 of the basic Regulation other than transhipment and incorrect declaration of origin be identified in the course of the investigation, the investigation may cover these practices also.
E. PROCEDURE
(8) In the light of the above, the Commission has concluded that sufficient evidence exists to justify the initiation of an investigation pursuant to Article 13 of the basic Regulation and to make imports of certain tube or pipe fittings, of iron or steel, consigned from the Philippines, whether declared as originating in the Philippines or not, subject to registration, in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation.
(a) Questionnaires
(9) In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send questionnaires to the exporters/producers and to the associations of exporters/producers in the Philippines, to the exporters/producers and to the associations of exporters/producers in the People’s Republic of China, to the importers and to the associations of importers in the Community which cooperated in the investigation that led to the existing measures and to the authorities of the People’s Republic of China and the Philippines. Information, as appropriate, may also be sought from the Community industry.
(10) In any event, all interested parties should contact the Commission forthwith, but not later than the time limit set in Article 3 of this Regulation, - in order to find out whether they are listed in the request and, if necessary, request a questionnaire - within the time limit set in Article 3(1) of this Regulation, given that the time limit set in Article 3(2) of this Regulation applies to all interested parties.
(11) The authorities of the People’s Republic of China and the Philippines will be notified of the initiation of the investigation.
(b) Collection of information and holding of hearings
(12) All interested parties are hereby invited to make their views known in writing and to provide supporting evidence. Furthermore, the Commission may hear interested parties, provided that they make a request in writing and show that there are particular reasons why they should be heard.
(c) Exemption of registration of imports or measures
(13) In accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product under investigation may be exempted from registration or measures if the importation does not constitute circumvention.
(14) Since the possible circumvention takes place outside the Community, exemptions may be granted, in accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation, to producers of the product concerned that can show that they are not related to any producer subject to the measures and that are found not to be engaged in circumvention practices as defined in Articles 13(1) and 13(2) of the basic Regulation. Producers wishing to obtain an exemption should submit a request duly supported by evidence within the time limit indicated in Article 3(3) of this Regulation.
F. REGISTRATION
(15) Pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product under investigation should be made subject to registration in order to ensure that, should the investigation result in findings of circumvention, anti-dumping duties of an appropriate amount can be levied retroactively from the date of registration of such imports consigned from the Philippines.
G. TIME LIMITS
(16) In the interest of sound administration, time limits should be stated within which:
— interested parties may make themselves known to the Commission, present their views in writing and submit questionnaire replies or any other information to be taken into account during the investigation,
— producers in the Philippines may request exemption from registration of imports or measures,
— interested parties may make a written request to be heard by the Commission.
(17) Attention is drawn to the fact that the exercise of most procedural rights set out in the basic Regulation depends on the party’s making itself known within the time limits mentioned in Article 3 of this Regulation.
H. NON-COOPERATION
(18) In cases in which any interested party refuses access to or does not provide the necessary information within the time limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, on the basis of the facts available.
(19) Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information shall be disregarded and use may be made, in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, of facts available. If an interested party does not cooperate or cooperates only partially and findings are therefore based on facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, the result may be less favourable to that party than if it had cooperated,
An investigation is hereby initiated pursuant to Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, in order to determine if imports into the Community of tube or pipe fittings (other than cast fittings, flanges and threaded fittings), of iron or steel (not including stainless steel), with a greatest external diameter not exceeding 609,6 mm, of a kind used for butt-welding or other purposes, falling within CN codes ex 7307 93 11 (TARIC code 7307931195), ex 7307 93 19 (TARIC code 7307931995), ex 7307 99 30 (TARIC code 7307993095) and ex 7307 99 90 (TARIC code 7307999095), consigned from the Philippines, whether originating in the Philippines or not, are circumventing the measures imposed by Regulation (EC) No 964/2003.
The customs authorities are hereby directed, pursuant to Articles 13(3) and 14(5) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, to take the appropriate steps to register the imports into the Community identified in Article 1 of this Regulation.
Registration shall expire nine months following the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
The Commission, by Regulation, may direct customs authorities to cease registration in respect of imports into the Community of products manufactured by producers having applied for an exemption of registration and having been found not to be circumventing the anti-dumping duties.
1. Questionnaires should be requested from the Commission within 15 days from publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union.
2. Interested parties, if their representations are to be taken into account during the investigation, must make themselves known by contacting the Commission, present their views in writing and submit questionnaire replies or any other information within 40 days from the date of the publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified.
3. Producers in the Philippines requesting exemption from registration of imports or measures should submit a request duly supported by evidence within the same 40-day time limit.
4. Interested parties may also apply to be heard by the Commission within the same 40-day time limit.
5. Any information relating to the matter, any request for a hearing or for a questionnaire as well as any request for exemption must be made in writing (not in electronic format, unless otherwise specified) and must indicate the name, address, e-mail address, telephone, fax and/or telex numbers of the interested party. All written submissions, including the information requested in this Regulation, questionnaire replies and correspondence provided by interested parties on a confidential basis shall be labelled as ‘Limited’ (4) and, in accordance with Article 19(2) of the basic Regulation, shall be accompanied by a non-confidential version, which will be labelled ‘For inspection by interested parties’.

COUNCIL DECISION
of 29 June 1998
on the consultation of the European Central Bank by national authorities regarding draft legislative provisions

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community and in particular Article 105(4) thereof and Article 4 of the Protocol on the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank annexed thereto,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Monetary Institute (3),
Acting in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 106(6) of the Treaty and in Article 42 of the said Protocol,
(1) Whereas the European Central Bank (ECB) will be established as soon as its Executive Board is appointed;
(2) Whereas the Treaty stipulates that national authorities shall consult the ECB regarding any draft legislative provision in its fields of competence; whereas it is for the Council to set out the limits and the conditions of such consultation;
(3) Whereas this obligation on the authorities of the Member States to consult the ECB must not prejudice the responsibility of these authorities for the matters which are the subject of such provision; whereas Member States must consult the ECB on any draft legislation in its fields of competence in accordance with Article 105(4) of the Treaty; whereas the list of particular areas included in Article 2 of this Decision is not exhaustive; whereas the sixth indent of Article 2 of this Decision is without prejudice to the present assignment of competences for policies relating to the prudential supervision of credit institutions and the stability of the financial system;
(4) Whereas the monetary functions and operations of the European System of Central Banks (ESCB) are defined in the Statute of the ESCB and of the ECB; whereas central banks of participating Member States are an integral part of the ESCB and must act in accordance with the guidelines and instructions of the ECB; whereas, in the third stage of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU), the authorities of non-participating Member States must consult the ECB on draft legislative provisions on the instruments of monetary policy;
(5) Whereas as long as Member States do not participate in the monetary policy of the ESCB, this Decision does not concern decisions taken by authorities of these Member States in the context of the implementation of their monetary policy;
(6) Whereas consultation of the ECB must not unduly lengthen procedures for adopting legislative provisions in the Member States; whereas the time limits within which the ECB must deliver its opinion must, nevertheless, enable it to examine the texts referred to it with the required care; whereas, in duly justified cases of extreme urgency, for which the reasons will be stated, for example on account of market sensitivity, Member States may set a time limit which is less than one month and which reflects the urgency of the situation; whereas in these cases particularly, dialogue between the national authorities and the ECB should enable the interests of both to be taken into account;
(7) Whereas, in accordance with paragraphs 5 and 8 of Protocol No 11 annexed to the Treaty, this Decision shall not apply to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland if and so long as that Member State does not move to the third stage of EMU;
(8) Whereas, from the date of the establishment of the ECB until the start of the third stage of EMU, national authorities have to consult the ECB, pursuant to Decision 93/717/EC (4) and Article 1091(2) of the Treaty,
1. For the purpose of this Decision:
‘participating Member State’ shall mean a Member State which has adopted the single currency in accordance with the Treaty;
‘draft legislative provisions’ shall mean any such provisions which, once they become legally binding and of general applicability in the territory of a Member State, lay down rules for an indefinite number of cases and are addressed to an indefinite number of natural or legal persons.
2. Draft legislative provisions shall not include draft provisions the exclusive purpose of which is the transposition of Community directives into the law of Member States.
1. The authorities of the Member States shall consult the ECB on any draft legislative provision within its field of competence pursuant to the Treaty and in particular on:
— currency matters,
— means of payment,
— national central banks,
— the collection, compilation and distribution of monetary, financial, banking, payment systems and balance of payments statistics,
— payment and settlement systems,
— rules applicable to financial institutions insofar as they materially influence the stability of financial institutions and markets.
2. In addition, the authorities of Member States other than participating Member States shall consult the ECB on any draft legislative provisions on the instruments of monetary policy.
3. The ECB shall, immediately on receipt of any draft legislative provision, notify the consulting authority whether, in its opinion, such provision is within its field of competence.
1. The authorities of the Member States preparing a legislative provision may, if they consider it necessary, set the ECB a time limit for the submission of its opinion which may not be less than one month from the date on which the President of the ECB receives notification to this effect.
2. In case of extreme urgency, the time limit may be reduced. In this case, the consulting authority shall state the reasons for the urgency.
3. The ECB may request in due time an extension of the time limit for up to an additional four weeks. This request shall not be unreasonably declined by the consulting authority.
4. Upon expiry of the time limit, the absence of an opinion shall not prevent further action by the consulting national authority. Should the opinion of the ECB be received after the time limit, Member States shall, nevertheless, ensure that it is brought to the knowledge of the authorities referred to in Article 4.
Each Member State shall take the measures necessary to ensure effective compliance with this Decision. To that end, it shall ensure that the ECB is consulted at an appropriate stage enabling the authority initiating the draft legislative provision to take into consideration the ECB's opinion before taking its decision on the substance and that the opinion received from the ECB is brought to the knowledge of the adopting authority if the latter is an authority other than that which has prepared the legislative provisions concerned.
1. This Decision shall apply from 1 January 1999.
2. Decision 93/717/EC shall be repealed with effect from 1 January 1999.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 of 14 July 1992 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1068/97 (2), and in particular Article 7(5)(b) thereof,
Whereas, in accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 France, has sent the Commission an application for registration of a name as a geographical indication;
Whereas it has been found, in accordance with Article 6(1) of the above Regulation, that the application meets all the Regulation's requirements, in particular that all the information required under Article 4 has been provided;
Whereas several declarations of opposition within the meaning of Article 7 of the above Regulation were sent to the Commission following publication of the name in the Annex to this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Communities (3) but that only one of these declarations was considered justified and accordingly admissible; whereas the declarations of opposition deemed inadmissible either failed to show the grounds on which the opposition was based or did not relate to the comprehensive grounds for opposition laid down in paragraph 4 of that Article;
Whereas in accordance with Article 7(5) of that Regulation and in view of the fact that French producers submitted a declaration of opposition, the Commission invited the Member State concerned to seek agreement; whereas, however, no agreement was reached and the Commission must accordingly decide on registration of the name in question;
Whereas, with regard to a declaration of opposition from Danish producers, the Commission had to reconsider its position because of factors which had not come to light at the time the opposition was sent to the Commission; whereas that opposition should also be declared admissible;
Whereas, under Article 13(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92, as added by Council Regulation (EEC) No 535/97 (4), provision may be made for a transitional period of up to five years under Article 7(5)(b), where inter alia products exist (as in this case) which have been legally on the market for at least five years preceding the date of the publication provided for in Article 6(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92; whereas such transitional period may be provided for only where undertakings have legally marketed the products concerned using the names in question continuously for at least five years preceding the date of publication provided for in Article 6(2) of that Regulation; whereas the Member States in question state that these conditions have been fulfilled;
Whereas in view of the arguments put forward by the parties concerned, a transitional period of three years is appropriate; whereas this transitional period applies to the companies 'Salaisons du Pays d'Oc`, 'Sør-Wi A/S`, 'Sørwi A/S`, 'Suhls Pålæg A/S`, 'Steff-Houlberg`, 'Vestjyske Slagterier A.m.b.a.` and 'Danish Crown`; whereas those companies fulfil the conditions laid down in Article 13(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92;
Whereas, as a result, this name should be entered in the 'Register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications` and should therefore enjoy Community protection as a geographic indication;
Whereas the Annex to this Regulation supplements the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2400/96 (5) as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2008/98 (6);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Regulatory Committee for Geographical Indications and Designations of Origin,
The name in the Annex hereto is hereby added to the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2400/96 and is entered in the 'Register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications` as a protected geographical indication (PGI) as provided for in Article 6(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92.
The companies 'Salaisons du Pays d'Oc`, 'Sør-Wi A/S`, 'Sørwi A/S`, 'Suhls Pålæg A/S`, 'Steff-Houlberg`, 'Vestjyske Slagterier A.m.b.a.` and 'Danish Crown` may continue to market their product under the name 'Jambon de Bayonne` for a period of three years from the date of entry into force of this Regulation. The label shall show clearly the true origin of the product.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of 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 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
