Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) An invitation to tender for the refund for the export of barley to certain third countries was opened pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1058/2005 (2).

31988R0455 | Commission Regulation (EEC) No 455/88 of 18 February 1988 on the statistical threshold in the external trade statistics of the Community and statistics of trade between Member States
| COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 455/88
of 18 February 1988
on the statistical threshold in the external trade statistics of the Community and statistics of trade between Member States
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1736/75 of 24 June 1975 on the external trade statistics of the Community and statistics of trade between Member States (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3678/87 (2), and in particular Articles 24 and 41 thereof,
Whereas, since the adoption of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3432/85 of 5 December 1985 on the statistical threshold in the external trade statistics of the Community and statistics of trade between Member States (3), divergences have arisen in the average values of the ECU expressed in national currencies; whereas the present statistical threshold of 800 ECU, whose expression in national currencies in the above Regulation accords with a fixed rate of conversion based on the average exchange rates during the period July 1984 to June 1985, is frequently either too high or too low for the Member States to derive in appropriate measure the benefits they anticipated for compilation of the statistical results of their external trade; whereas it is therefore necessary to establish for this statistical threshold a new rate of conversion based on more recent average exchange rates; whereas the period November 1986 to October 1987 is appropriate for this purpose;
Whereas in the interest of simplification the amounts so obtained should be rounded off;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on External Trade Statistics,
The statistical threshold, within the meaning of Article 24 of Regulation (EEC) No 1736/75, expressed in value, is fixed at 800 ECU.
The statistical threshold, fixed by Article 1, expressed in national currencies, shall not exceed:
1.2.3 // for the Belgium-Luxembourg Economic Union: // Bfrs/Lfrs // 34 500 // for Denmark: // Dkr // 6 300 // for France: // FF // 5 500 // for Germany: // DM // 1 600 // for Greece: // Dr // 125 000 // for Ireland: // ÂŁ Irl // 650 // for Italy: // Lit // 1 200 000 // for the Netherlands: // Fl // 2 000 // for Portugal: // Esc // 130 000 // for Spain: // Pta // 115 000 // for the United Kingdom: // ÂŁ // 600
This Regulation shall apply for the first time to the statistics relating to the data for 1988.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

fixing the export refunds on white and raw sugar exported without further processing
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the market in the sugar sector (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 33(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(b) of that Regulation and prices for those products on the Community market may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Given the present situation on the sugar market, export refunds should therefore be fixed in accordance with the rules and certain criteria provided for in Articles 32 and 33 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006.
(3) The first subparagraph of Article 33(2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund according to destination.
(4) Refunds should be granted only on products that are allowed to move freely in the Community and that comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006.
(5) The negotiations within the framework of the Europe Agreements between the European Community and Romania and Bulgaria aim in particular to liberalise trade in products covered by the common organisation of the market concerned. For those two countries export refunds should therefore be abolished.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
Export refunds as provided for in Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 shall be granted on the products and for the amounts set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 24 November 2006.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 of 28 July 1993 laying down the procedure and conditions for the sale of cereals held by intervention agencies (2) provides in particular that cereals held by intervention agencies are to be sold by tendering procedure at prices preventing market disturbance.
(2) Poland has intervention stocks of common wheat, which should be used up.
(3) In view of market conditions, in particular price pressures, the stocks of common wheat held by the Polish intervention agency should be made available on the internal market.
(4) To take account of the situation on the Community market, provision should be made for the Commission to manage this invitation to tender. In addition, provision must be made for an award coefficient for tenders offering the minimum selling price.
(5) It is also important for the Polish intervention agency’s notification to the Commission to maintain the anonymity of the tenderers.
(6) With a view to modernising the management of the system, provision should be made for the electronic transmission of the information required by the Commission.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The Polish intervention agency shall open a standing invitation to tender for the sale on the Community market of 150 000 tonnes of common wheat held by it.
The sale provided for in Article 1 shall take place in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93.
However, notwithstanding that Regulation:
(a) tenders shall be drawn up on the basis of the actual quality of the lot to which they apply;
(b) the minimum selling price shall be set at a level which does not disturb the cereals market; it may not in any event be lower than the intervention price in force for the month in question, including any monthly increases.
Notwithstanding Article 13(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 the tender security is set at EUR 10 per tonne.
1. The first partial invitation to tender shall expire at 15.00 (Brussels time) on 7 June 2006.

Under the procedure laid down in Article 25(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003, the Commission shall set the minimum selling price or decide not to award any quantities. In the event that tenders are submitted for the same lot and for a quantity larger than that available, the Commission may fix this price separately for each lot.
Where tenders are offering the minimum sale price, the Commission may fix an award coefficient for the quantities offered at the same time as it fixes the minimum sale price.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(2) The production of arable crops in the Italian regions of the "Mezzogiorno" and the islands of Sicily and Sardinia has been affected by exceptionally dry weather conditions during and after the flowering period. This exceptional situation has resulted in an exceptionally low average yield.
(3) Some producers are in severe financial difficulties as a result.
(4) This being the case in Italy, and in view of the budgetary situation, that country should be authorised to make, before 16 November 2002, advance payments of area aid for cereals and advance payments of set-aside aid for the 2002/2003 marketing year.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
1. By way of derogation from Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999, an advance payment in respect of the 2002/2003 marketing year amounting up to 50 % of the area payments for cereals, including the supplement for durum wheat, and up to 50 % of the payments for set-aside may be made with effect from 26 August 2002 to Italian producers in the regions Molise, Campania, Puglia, Basilicata, Calabria, Sicilia and Sardegna.
2. The advance payment provided for in paragraph 1 may be paid only if, on the day of payment, the producer in question is found to be eligible for it.

In fixing this maximum the criteria provided for in Articles 6 and 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1839/95 must be taken into account. Whereas a contract is awarded to any tenderer whose tender is equal to or less than the maximum reduction in the duty.
(3) The application of the abovementioned criteria to the current market situation for the cereal in question results in the maximum reduction in the import duty being fixed at the amount specified in Article 1.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Decision No 575/2007/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 May 2007 establishing the European Return Fund for the period 2008 to 2013 as part of the General programme ‘Solidarity and Management of Migration Flows’ (1), and in particular Article 35(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The general objective of the European Return Fund is to support the efforts made by the Member States to improve the management of return in all its dimensions taking into account Union legislation in this field and in full compliance with fundamental rights.
(2) In accordance with the specific objectives indicated in Article 3(1)(c) of Decision No 575/2007/EC, the Return Fund shall contribute to ‘the promotion of an effective and uniform application of common standards on return in line with policy developments in this field’.
(3) In that context, the Return Fund provides support to Member States for the implementation of Directive 2008/115/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on common standards and procedures in Member States for returning illegally staying third-country nationals (2) (the Return Directive) by co-financing a wide range of measures.
(4) In order to ensure the effective implementation of the Return Directive by Member States, it is appropriate to further reinforce the support of the Fund by extending the scope of eligible measures, in particular, to address the needs relating to Article 16 of the Return Directive requiring that detention take place as a rule in specialised detention facilities. Moreover, in the light of the experience gained since the launch of the European Return Fund and in order to reinforce the capacities of Member States to ensure effective transportation of returnees during return procedures and return operations, it is appropriate to give the possibilities under the Fund to finance necessary means of transport, such as buses.
(5) Considering that the 2011 and 2012 annual programmes of the Member States under the European Return Fund are still ongoing, it is appropriate that the modified rules apply from the 2011 annual programme onwards.
(6) In accordance with Article 3 of the Protocol on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, the United Kingdom is bound by the basic act and, as a consequence, by this Decision.
(7) In accordance with Article 3 of the Protocol on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Ireland is bound by the basic act and, as a consequence, by this Decision.
(8) In accordance with Article 2 of the Protocol on the position of Denmark, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Denmark is not bound by this Decision or subject to the application thereof.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the common Committee ‘Solidarity and Management of Migration Flows’ established by Decision No 574/2007/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3).
(10) Decision 2008/458/EC should therefore be amended accordingly,
Annex XI to Decision 2008/458/EC is amended as follows:
(1) in point II.1.3.3, paragraph 3 is replaced by the following:
‘3. For individual items costing below EUR 20 000 the full purchase cost is eligible, provided, that, except in duly justified cases, the equipment is purchased before the last 3 months of the project. Individual items costing EUR 20 000 or more are only eligible on the basis of depreciation. By way of derogation from the above conditions, for means of transport costing below EUR 250 000 the full purchase cost is eligible.’;
(2) point II.1.4.2 is replaced by the following:
1. Where the acquisition of real estate is essential for implementation of the project and is clearly linked with its objectives, the purchase of real estate, i.e. buildings already constructed, or construction of real estate, is eligible for co-financing on the basis of the full or partial cost, or on the basis of depreciation, under the conditions set out below, without prejudice to the application of stricter national rules:

(b) the real estate has not been purchased through a Community grant at any time prior to the implementation of the project;
(c) the real estate is to be used solely for the purpose stated in the project for a period of at least 10 years after the end date of the project unless the Commission specifically authorises otherwise in the case of co-financing of the full or partial costs; in the case of co-financing on the basis of depreciation this period is reduced to 5 years;
(d) the purchase of the real estate respects the principles of value for money and cost-effectiveness and is being considered as proportionate to the aim to be achieved through the implementation of the project;

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), and in particular Article 9(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 836/2004 of 28 April 2004 laying down the transitional measures to be applied by Cyprus with regard to scrapie (2) was adopted in view of the exceptional high level of scrapie in the ovine and caprine populations in Cyprus. It lays down certain transitional measures, including a prohibition on the dispatch from Cyprus to other Member States and third countries of certain meat and meat products derived from ovine and caprine animals. That Regulation applies until 30 April 2007.
(2) The results of the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE) eradication and monitoring programme for 2006 in the Community indicate that in Cyprus, 865 cases of TSE in sheep were diagnosed, out of the total of 2 579 TSE cases in the Community, and 461 TSE cases in goats were diagnosed, out of the total of 531 TSE cases in the Community.
(3) In the framework of the TSE roadmap (COM(2005) 322 final) adopted on 15 July 2005 and in line with the SANCO work programme 2006-2007 on TSEs (SEC(2006) 1527), the Commission is currently discussing with the Member States on a proposal to review the current measures to apply in TSE affected flocks where BSE has been excluded.
(4) Due to the animal health situation in Cyprus in sheep and goat populations with regard to scrapie, taking control requirements into account and awaiting the conclusions of the discussion on a review of the current eradication measures it is necessary to maintain certain protection measures as regards the intra-Community trade and trade with third countries with certain meat and meat products derived from ovine and caprine animals in order to prevent the risk of the disease in other Member States.
(5) The dispatch of products derived from ovine and caprine animals in Cyprus to other Member States and the export thereof to third countries should therefore continue to be prohibited.
(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,
Cyprus shall ensure that fresh meat, minced meat, meat preparations and meat products, as defined in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), derived from ovine and caprine animals are not dispatched from that Member State to other Member States or exported to third countries.
This Decision shall apply until 31 October 2007.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), as last amened by Directive 92/118/EEC (2), and in particular Article 10 (4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market (3), as last amended by Directive 92/118/EEC, and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas cases of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) have been reported in the United Kingdom;
Whereas in order to protect animal and public health in the Community, the Commission has adopted several Decisions, in particular Decision 94/474/EC of 27 July 1994 concerning certain protection measures relating to bovine spongiform encephalopathy and repealing Decisions 89/469/EEC and 90/200/EEC (4);
Whereas as a result of measures taken in the United Kingdom the BSE epidemic is now declining;
Whereas new information continues to become available and the situation must be continually reviewed;
Whereas the Commission has carried out a detailed examination of the situation and all relevant scientific information with the Scientific Veterinary Committee;
Whereas the prohibition on feeding meat and bone meal (MBM) of ruminant origin to ruminants in July 1988 was the principal measure in controlling BSE; whereas, however, this prohibiton has not been totally effective in preventing the occurrence of BSE in bovines born after July 1988;
Whereas, however, in the opinion of the Scientific Veterinary Committee, the feed ban is becoming increasingly effective, and the evidence for natural and horizontal transmission is slight; whereas, therefore the risk of human exposure to the BSE agent from meat from cattle born in the United Kingdom after 1 January 1992 is very low; whereas the Scientific Veterinary Committee has recommended that the BSE restrictions on this meat should be lifted;
Whereas, therefore, it is necessary to amend Decision 94/474/EC;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
Article 4 of Decision 94/474/EC is replaced by the following:
'Article 4
1. The United Kingdom shall not send from its territory to that of the other Member States fresh meat of the bovine species.
2. The prohibition mentioned in paragraph 1 shall not apply to the following meat
(i) Fresh meat derived from bovine animals born after 1 January 1992, in which case the following sentence shall be added to the health certificate referred to in Annex IV of Directive 64/433/EEC:
"Fresh bovine meat derived from bovines born after 1 January 1992",
or
(ii) Fresh meat derived from bovines which, while in the United Kingdom, have resided only on holdings on which no case of BSE has been confirmed during the previous six years, in which case the following sentence shall be added to the health certificate referred to in Annex IV of Directive 64/433/EEC:
"Fresh bovine meat derived from bovines which, while in the United Kingdom, have resided only on holdings on which no case of BSE has been confirmed during the previous six years",
or
(iii) Fresh meat derived from bovines born before 1 January 1992 which have resided at any time on a holding on which one or more cases of BSE have been confirmed during the previous six years, if the following sentence is added to the health certificate referred to in Annex IV to Directive 64/433/EEC:
"Fresh deboned bovine meat in the form of muscle from which the adherent tissues, including obvious nervous and lymphatic tissues haven been removed".'
Member States shall amend the measures which apply to trade so as to bring them into compliance with this Decision. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.

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 1340/90 (2), and in particular Article 7 (6) thereof,
Whereas Article 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1581/86 of 23 May 1986 laying down general rules for intervention on the market in cereals (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 195/89 (4), provides that cereals held by intervention agencies are to be sold by tender;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1836/82 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 244/90 (6), lays down the procedure and conditions for the sale of cereals held by intervention agencies; whereas Article 4 thereof allows for the possibility of resale on the Community market for specific destinations;
Whereas Council Decision 89/687/EEC (7) established a programme of options specific to the remote and insular nature of the French overseas departments (Poseidom);
Whereas that programme provides for a number of measures intended to compensate, where the supply of cereals is concerned, for the effects of the geographical situation of these departments in relation to the European territory of the Community, taking account of the aims of regional cooperation;
Whereas, pending commencement of application of the provisions of Poseidom, the pressing supply requirements of these very remote parts of the Community should be met by selling products taken into intervention; whereas, given the local situation and the approach taken by the Council when Poseidom was adopted, the terms of sale should be favourable but not such as to disturb the Community market; whereas to make allowance for the cost of transport between the European territory of the Community and the specified destinations, a derogation from Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1836/82 dealing with the internal market resale price of intervention cereals should be permitted; whereas provision should also be made for the lodging of security such as to guarantee that the cereals reach the specified destinations within the specified time limits and that the successful tenderer fulfils his obligation to pass on to the new buyer of the cereals the purchase price concession he received;
Whereas Member States shall take all further action compatible with the provisions in force that is required to ensure satisfactory operation of the present arrangement and shall inform the Commission thereof;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The French intervention agency is authorized to sell by tender on the Community market 98 000 tonnes of cereals to be delivered to the destinations and within the time limits specified in the Annex.
1. The invitation to tender shall be open from 1 August to 30 November 1990.
2. The cereals sold must be delivered to the destination provided for in Article 1.
3. Tenders shall not be valid unless accompanied by a written commitment:
- to pass on, when the cereals are resold after arrival at destination, the price advantage granted in application of the tender rules set out in Article 3; should the cereals not be sold for direct consumption the terms of sale must include an obligation on the pruchaser to pass on in turn the price reduction granted pursuant to Article 3,
- to lodge, at the latest on payment for the cereals, a security covering the difference between the price as provided for in Article 5 (1) and (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1836/82 and that tendered.
The minimum price to be observed shall be fixed in accordance with the procedure indicated in Article 26 of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 by way of derogation from Article 5 (1) and (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1836/82, account being taken in particular of the cost of transport between the storage locations and the destinations specified. A minimum price shall be set for each destination.
The security mentioned in the second indent of Article 2 (3) shall be released for quantities for which evidence of resale in the French overseas department at a price reflecting the price reduction granted pursuant to Article 3 is provided within the specified time limit. Such evidence shall be constituted by certificate issued by the French authorities following verification that the tenderer has met his obligations.
The French intervention agency shall take all action necessary to ensure that the provisions of this Regulation are complied with. It shall inform the Commission each week, through the Management Committee for Cereals, of the progress of the tender procedure and of the supply operation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Whereas, for the purposes of the breakdown by rate provided for in Article 4 (4) of Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89, Portugal is still unable to use the national accounts relating to the last year but one before the financial year for which the VAT resources base is to be calculated since only the national accounts relating to 1989 are sufficiently detailed to allow calculation of the weighted average rate; whereas Portugal should therefore be authorized to use the national accounts relating to 1989 to calculate the weighted average rate for the 1992 and 1993 financial years;
Whereas the Advisory Committee on Own Resources has approved the report recording the opinions of its members on this Decision,
For the purposes of the breakdown by rate referred to in Article 4 (4) of Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89, Portugal is hereby authorized to use figures obtained from the national accounts relating to 1989 for the 1992 and 1993 financial years for which the VAT resources base has to be calculated.

| COMMISSION DECISION of 29 April 1992 on a transitional guidance programme for the fishing fleet (1992) of Spain pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 (Only the Spanish text is authentic) (92/367/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), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3944/90 (2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas, on 30 April 1991, the Government of Spain forwarded to the Commission a multiannual guidance programme for the fishing fleet for the period 1992 to 1996, hereinafter referred to as 'the programme', as required by Article 3 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86; whereas it forwarded at a later date additional information concerning the programme;
Whereas it is necessary to consider whether, 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 fulfils 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 the objectives of the previous programme approved by Commission Decision 88/149/EEC (3), as amended by Decision 90/108/EEC (4) and by Decision 91/454/EEC (5) constitute the reference basis for assessing the actual development recorded and the effort still needed to ensure that the Community objectives are achieved;
Whereas the current or likely situation as regards availability of fish in conjunction with the activities of the fleet concerned does not allow for any adjustment of the forecast on the basis of which these objectives were determined and approved; whereas the efforts made to adapt the fleet should therefore be sustained and strengthened over the period 1992 to 1996, in view of the fact that availability of fish continues to deteriorate;
Whereas the scope of the planned modernization efforts implies a substantial improvement in the overall performance of the fleet concerned which should be taken into account when assessing the relationship to be achieved by the end of the programme period between fleet capacity and fish availability;
Whereas the development recorded should be monitored on a regular basis so as to improve or adjust the fishery support measures that accompany the implementation of the programme;
Whereas any development that does not comply with the programme objectives would run counter to the objectives of the common fisheries policy; whereas, therefore, certain specific measures undertaken under this programme may not warrant public financial assistance; whereas, in this context, approval of the programme should only be effective where the limitations and conditions upon which such approval was made conditional are complied with;
Whereas it is important that the overall reduction in fishing effort judged to be necessary in order to adapt the Community fleet to available resources should reflect significant reductions in particular segments of that fleet where an imbalance is most apparent; whereas there is insufficient information available at present to achieve comprehensive segmentation of the fleet in accordance with stocks and zones fished; whereas a broader range of parameters should therefore be developed to evaluate fishing effort as well as fleet capacity;
Whereas the Commission cannot approve programmes for the full period until adequate information is available to Member States to permit this new approach and additional time will be required to execute the work programme necessary to complete this process;
Whereas it is not appropriate to interrupt the process of reduction of the fleet inherent in the guidance programmes; whereas transitional programmes, for the period 1 January to 31 December 1992, should therefore be approved;
Whereas further reduction in fleet capacity is needed in view of the present state of the fish stocks; whereas available information indicates that a minimum reduction of 2 % expressed in tonnage and engine power, based on the objectives for the end of 1991, is necessary to compensate for technological progress; whereas in addition to that reduction, a certain percentage reduction is also necessary for catching-up, in the case of those Member States which have not reached the 1991 objectives;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for the Fishing Industry,
A transitional guidance programme for the fishing fleet covering the period up to the end of 1992 is hereby approved subject to the limitations and conditions set out in this Decision and provided that those limitations and conditions are complied with.
At the latest by the end of July 1992 and the end of February 1993, Spain shall forward the Commission, in respect of each category of vessel defined in the programme, information on the number of vessels commissioned and withdrawn and on the tonnage and engine power added and withdrawn during the six-month period ending on the preceding 30 June or 31 December.
The approval referred to in Article 1 shall only be effective where the development of the fleet complies with the objectives of the programme as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Decision shall be without prejudice to any Community financial aid that may be granted to individual investment projects.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Spain. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas, in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90, maximum residue limits must be established progressively for all pharmacologically active substances which are used within the Community in veterinary medicinal products intended for administration to food-producing animals;
Whereas maximum residue limits should be established only after the examination within the Committee for Veterinary Medicinal Products of all the relevant information concerning the safety of residues of the substance concerned for the consumer of foodstuffs of animal origin and the impact of residues on the industrial processing of foodstuffs;
Whereas, in establishing maximum residue limits for residues of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin, it is necessary to specify the animal species in which residues may be present, the levels which may be present in each of the relevant meat tissues obtained from the treated animal (target tissue) and the nature of the residue which is relevant for the monitoring of residues (marker residue);
Whereas, for the control of residues, as provided for in appropriate Community legislation, maximum residue limits should usually be established for the target tissues of liver or kidney, whereas, however, the liver and kidney are frequently removed from carcases moving in international trade, and maximum residue limits should therefore also always be established for muscle or fat tissues;
Whereas, in the case of veterinary medicinal products intended for use in laying birds, lactating animals or honey bees, maximum residue limits must also be established for eggs, milk or honey;
Whereas, baquiloprim, tylosin and tolfenamic acid should be inserted into Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
Whereas bismuth subcarbonate, bismuth subgallate, bismuth subnitrate, bismuth subsalicylate, cloprostenol, r-cloprostenol and luprostiol should be inserted into Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
Whereas, in order to allow for the completion of scientific studies, apramycin should be inserted into Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;

(2) Council Regulation (EC) No 747/2001(3) opens and provides for the administration of Community tariff quotas for certain products originating in Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, Malta, Morocco, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, Tunisia and Turkey, and provides detailed rules for extending and adapting these tariff quotas.
(3) Commission Regulation (EC) No 741/2002(4), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 757/2002(5), fixed Community producer and import prices for carnations and roses for application of the arrangements for importation from the countries in question.
(4) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 700/88(6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2062/97(7), laid down detailed rules for the application of these arrangements.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 566/2006
of 6 April 2006
amending and derogating from Regulation (EC) No 2014/2005 on licences under the arrangements for importing bananas into the Community in respect of bananas released into free circulation at the common customs tariff rate of duty and amending Regulation (EC) No 219/2006 opening and providing for the administration of the tariff quota for bananas falling under CN code 0803 00 19 originating in ACP countries for the period 1 March to 31 December 2006
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1964/2005 of 29 November 2005 on the tariff rates for bananas (1), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In order to ensure that imports of bananas into the Community are adequately monitored, Article 1(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2014/2005 (2) provides that bananas may be released into free circulation at the common customs tariff rate of duty established by Regulation (EC) No 1964/2005 subject to presentation of an import licence. Article 1(5) of that Regulation fixes the period of validity of such import licences at three months.
(2) In order to quickly obtain information on the quantities released for free circulation in the Community, the period of validity of licences should be shortened. To ensure the relevant information relates to the calendar year, the period of validity of licences should not extend beyond 31 December.
(3) For the same reasons, and notwithstanding Article 35(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 of 9 June 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (3), the period during which operators must supply proof to the competent authority that the licences have been used should be shortened.
(4) In order to have data on the entire period of implementation of the tariff-only arrangements introduced by Regulation (EC) No 1964/2005, the reduction in the period for submission of proof of use of licences should also apply to licences valid from 1 January 2006, the date from which Regulation (EC) No 2014/2005 applies.
(5) Indication of the origin of bananas released into free circulation in the Community is particularly important information for the purposes of monitoring imports under the arrangements introduced by Regulation (EC) No 1964/2005. To make this information available, provision should be made for import licences to be issued for imports of bananas from a specified origin. To that end, a distinction should be made between bananas originating in ACP countries and those originating in other third countries.
(6) To ensure that the market is adequately monitored, it is necessary to define the information on prices and quantities marketed which the Member States must forward to the Commission.
(7) In order to detect and prevent false declarations by operators, Member States should notify to the Commission the list of operators operating under Commission Regulations (EC) No 219/2006 (4) and (EC) No 2015/2005 of 9 December 2005 on imports during January and February 2006 of bananas originating in ACP countries under the tariff quota opened by Council Regulation (EC) No 1964/2005 on the tariff rates for bananas (5).
(8) Regulation (EC) No 219/2006 repeals Commission Regulation (EC) No 896/2001 (6), except for Articles 21, 26 and 27 and the Annex thereto, which it provides are to continue to apply to imports carried out under Regulation (EC) No 219/2006. In the interests of clarity and legal certainty, the content of those provisions should be incorporated into Regulation (EC) No 219/2006.
(9) Regulations (EC) No 2014/2005 and (EC) No 219/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Bananas,
Regulation (EC) No 2014/2005 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 1 is amended as follows:
(a) the following subparagraph is added to paragraph 3:

(b) not later than the 15th day of each month, the quantities for which import licences were issued during the previous month;
(c) not later than the 15th day of each month, the quantities covered by licences used and returned to the issuing body during the previous month, broken down by origin;

(b) forward at the end of each fortnight a second copy of each import licence and extract endorsed to their Member State authorities listed in the Annex.
4. The second sentence of Article 8 is deleted.
5. The text in the Annex to this Regulation shall be added in an annex.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 94/2010
of 3 February 2010
fixing an additional quantitative limit for the exports of out-of-quota sugar in respect of marketing year 2009/2010
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 61, first paragraph, point (d), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) According to Article 61, first paragraph, point (d) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, the sugar or isoglucose produced in excess of the quota referred to in Article 56 of that Regulation may be exported only within the quantitative limit to be fixed by the Commission respecting the commitments resulting from international agreements concluded by the Union.
(2) Detailed implementing rules for out-of-quota exports, in particular concerning the issue of export licences, are laid down by Commission Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 (2). However, the quantitative limit should be fixed per marketing year in view of the possible opportunities on the export markets.
(3) For marketing year 2009/2010, Commission Regulation (EC) No 274/2009 (3) has fixed the quantitative limit for the exports of out-of-quota sugar at 1 350 000 tonnes. Applications for export licences quickly exceeded that limit. Therefore Commission Regulation (EC) No 1106/2009 (4) has fixed an acceptance percentage for the issuing of export licences and suspended the lodging of export-licence applications for out-of-quota sugar. At the time the limit of 1 350 000 t was fixed, the economic conditions were such that it was not possible to exclude that exports of out-of-quota sugar could be considered as being subsidised because the average cost of production of sugar in the Union could have exceeded the selling price of out-of-quota sugar on the export market. Under such conditions it was therefore not possible to increase the quantities of out-of-quota sugar to be exported beyond the limits resulting from the abovementioned international commitments of the Union.
(4) Since the beginning of 2009, the global economic conditions have changed significantly in the sugar sector. In early January 2010, world market prices for white sugar more than doubled and reached approximately EUR 500 per tonne at the London commodity futures market. At the same time, the prices on the sugar market in the Union decreased in line with the institutional reference price.
(5) Under the current economic conditions the average production cost of sugar beet in the Union is below the selling price of the out-of-quota sugar beet. Furthermore, the selling price of the out-of-quota sugar on the world market is above the average cost of sugar production in the Union. Therefore, as long as these conditions are valid, the export of out-of-quota sugar cannot be considered as being subsidised. Consequently, exports above the export subsidy commitments of the Union could be made without violating the obligations arising from Union membership of the World Trade Organisation.
(6) According to the most recent information, it is certain that due to exceptionally favourable weather conditions in 2009, large quantities of out-of-quota sugar will be produced in the Union. This quantity is currently estimated at around 4 100 000 tonnes. Taking into account all the possible outlets for this sugar, in particular the demand of the chemical industry for industrial sugar, it is estimated that at least 500 000 t would be still available for exports.
(7) In view of the surplus foreseen in the Union during marketing year 2009/2010 and the exceptionally high world market prices caused by a very difficult supply situation at this time it is preferable to export the remaining surplus sugar in the Union instead of carrying it forward to the next marketing year. Fixing an additional quantitative limit in respect of marketing year 2009/2010 would allow sugar producers and beet growers in the Union to benefit from the current favourable export possibilities. An additional quantitative limit should therefore be fixed.
(8) It is now estimated that world market sugar prices may start decreasing as from the second half of 2010. To make sure that the additional exports of out-of-quota sugar do not interfere with subsidy commitments of the Union, it is appropriate to limit the application for export licences until 30 June 2010 and to reduce the validity of export licences to one month.
(9) Exports of sugar from the Union to certain close destinations and to third countries granting EU products a preferential import treatment are currently in a particularly favourable competitive position. In view of the absence of appropriate instruments of mutual assistance to fight against irregularities and in order to minimise the risk of fraud and to prevent any abuse associated with the reimport or reintroduction into the Union of out-of-quota sugar certain close destinations should be excluded from the eligible destinations.
(10) The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chair,
Fixing an additional quantitative limit for out-of-quota sugar exports
1. Without prejudice to Regulations (EC) No 274/2009 and (EC) No 1106/2009, an additional quantity of 500 000 tonnes of out-of-quota white sugar falling within CN code 1701 99 may be exported without refund in respect of marketing year 2009/2010.
2. Exports within the quantitative limit fixed in paragraph 1 shall be allowed for all destinations excluding:
(a) third countries: Andorra, Liechtenstein, the Holy See (Vatican City State), San Marino, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia (5), Montenegro, Albania and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia;
(b) territories of Member States not forming part of the customs territory of the Union: the Faeroe Islands, Greenland, Heligoland, Ceuta, Melilla, the communes of Livigno and Campione d’Italia, and the areas of the Republic of Cyprus in which the Government of the Republic of Cyprus does not exercise effective control;
(c) European territories for whose external relations a Member State is responsible, not forming part of the customs territory of the Union: Gibraltar.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 499/2005
of 31 March 2005
fixing the export refunds on syrups and certain other sugar products exported in the natural state
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector (2), provides that the export refund on 100 kilograms of the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 is equal to the basic amount multiplied by the sucrose content, including, where appropriate, other sugars expressed as sucrose; the sucrose content of the product in question is determined in accordance with Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95.
(3) Article 30(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the basic amount of the refund on sorbose exported in the natural state must be equal to the basic amount of the refund less one hundredth of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards granting the production refund on certain sugar products used in the chemical industry (3), to the products listed in the Annex to the last mentioned Regulation.
(4) According to the terms of Article 30(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, the basic amount of the refund on the other products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of the said Regulation exported in the natural state must be equal to one-hundredth of an amount which takes account, on the one hand, of the difference between the intervention price for white sugar for the Community areas without deficit for the month for which the basic amount is fixed and quotations or prices for white sugar on the world market and, on the other, of the need to establish a balance between the use of Community basic products in the manufacture of processed goods for export to third countries and the use of third country products brought in under inward-processing arrangements.
(5) According to the terms of Article 30(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, the application of the basic amount may be limited to some of the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of the said Regulation.
(6) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 makes provision for setting refunds for export in the natural state of products referred to in Article 1(1)(f) and (g) and (h) of that Regulation; the refund must be fixed per 100 kilograms of dry matter, taking account of the export refund for products falling within CN code 1702 30 91 and for products referred to in Article 1(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 and of the economic aspects of the intended exports; in the case of the products referred to in the said Article (1)(f) and (g), the refund is to be granted only for products complying with the conditions in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2135/95; for the products referred to in Article 1(1)(h), the refund shall be granted only for products complying with the conditions in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2135/95.
(7) The abovementioned refunds must be fixed every month; they may be altered in the intervening period.
(8) The first subparagraph of Article 27(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that refunds on the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation may vary according to destination, where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(9) The significant and rapid increase in preferential imports of sugar from the western Balkan countries since the start of 2001 and in exports of sugar to those countries from the Community seems to be highly artificial in nature.
(10) In order to prevent any abuses associated with the reimportation into the Community of sugar sector products that have qualified for export refunds, refunds for the products covered by this Regulation should not be fixed for all the countries of the western Balkans.
(11) In view of the above, refunds for the products in question should be fixed at the appropriate amounts.
(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(d), (f), (g) and (h) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, exported in the natural state, shall be set out in the Annex hereto to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 April 2005.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organization of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC (1), and in particular Article 18(1) and (7) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 91/496/EEC provides, inter alia, that if a disease or any other phenomenon liable to present a serious threat to animal or human health occurs or spreads in the territory of a third country, or if any other serious animal health reason so warrants, the Commission, acting on its own initiative or at the request of a Member State, is permitted to adopt measures without delay, including special conditions in respect of animals coming from all or part of the third country concerned.
(2) Commission Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 (2) lays down, inter alia, the veterinary certification requirements for the introduction into the Union of certain consignments of live animals. It provides that consignments of ungulates are to be introduced into the Union only if they comply with certain requirements and they are accompanied by the appropriate veterinary certificate, drawn up in accordance with the relevant model set out in Part 2 of Annex I to that Regulation.
(3) The animal health requirements set out in the model veterinary certificates provide for guarantees regarding animal diseases which may endanger the Union animal health status. The fulfilment of such requirements is therefore essential in order to protect the Union from outbreaks of exotic diseases.
(4) A notification by the United States to the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) (3) shows that Novel Swine Enteric Coronavirus Disease caused by emerging porcine alphacoronaviruses including porcine epidemic diarrhoea virus and a new Porcine deltacoronavirus has emerged in North America. Canada informed the Commission about positive results of tests for the presence of the both the alpha and the deltacoronavirus carried out in Canadian pig holdings.
(5) Porcine epidemic diarrhoea caused by the emerging alphacoronavirus and the new porcine deltacoronavirus may constitute a risk for the animal health status of the Union. It affects pigs and the clinical disease is more evident in piglets in which it has caused high percentages of mortalities.
(6) Therefore it is necessary to review the animal health requirements for the entry of consignments of porcine animals into the Union from the areas in which the disease caused by these viruses is present in order to provide the necessary guarantees at the holding of origin and avoid the introduction of porcine epidemic diarrhoea caused by those viruses in the Union.
(7) Due to the need to protect animal health in the Union and the serious threat posed by the introduction into the Union of live pigs for breeding and/or production the Commission should adopt provisional safeguard measures for consignments of those animals from affected third countries listed in Annex I to this Regulation. Accordingly, consignments of those animals should be accompanied by a health certificate in accordance with the model set out in Annex II to this Regulation which provides for specific guarantees in regard of porcine epidemic diarrhoea caused by the emerging alphacoronavirus and the new porcine deltacoronavirus
(8) Due to the serious risk to animal health posed by those consignments, those provisional safeguard measures should enter into force on the day following that of the publication of this Regulation and apply for a period of 6 months.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
By way of derogation from point (b) of Article 3 and Parts 1and 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010, consignments of live pigs for breeding and production, covered by the model veterinary certificate ‘POR-X’ set out in that Annex, from third countries listed in Annex I to this Regulation, shall be accompanied by a veterinary certificate in accordance with the model set out in the Annex II to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply until 12 January 2015.
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 |

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 192(1), in conjunction with Article 218(6)(a)(v) and the first subparagraph of Article 218(8) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Having regard to the consent of the European Parliament,
Whereas:
(1) The Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships, 2009 (hereinafter ‘the Convention’), was adopted on 15 May 2009 under the auspices of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), as a result of the deliberations of the International Conference on the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships. The Convention covers the design, construction, operation and preparation of ships so as to facilitate safe and environmentally sound recycling without compromising ship safety and operational efficiency. It also covers the operation of ship recycling facilities in a safe and environmentally sound manner, and the establishment of an appropriate enforcement mechanism for ship recycling.
(2) The Convention enters into force 24 months after the date of ratification by at least 15 States representing a combined merchant fleet of at least 40 per cent of the gross tonnage of the world's merchant shipping and whose combined maximum annual ship recycling volume during the preceding 10 years constitutes not less than three per cent of the gross tonnage of the combined merchant shipping of the same States.
(3) In its conclusions of 21 October 2009, the Council strongly encouraged the Member States to ratify the Convention as a matter of priority so as to facilitate its entry into force as early as possible and to generate a real and effective change on the ground.
(4) Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) aims, amongst other things, to minimise and, to the extent practicable, eliminate adverse effects on human health and the environment caused by ship recycling and to facilitate the ratification of the Convention. Articles 5(9), 7(2), 10(1), 10(2), 12(1) and 12(3) of that Regulation provide for the alignment of Union law with the Convention. Article 32(4) refers to the situation of Member States which have no ships flying their flag or registered under their flag or have closed their national ship registers. Those Member States may derogate from certain provisions of the Regulation as long as no ship is registered under their flag.
(5) The Union cannot accede to the Convention, as only States can be parties thereto.
(6) Thus, the Council should authorise Member States having ships flying their flag or registered under their flag which fall within the scope of the Convention to ratify or accede to it,
Member States are hereby authorised to ratify or accede to, for the parts falling under the exclusive competence of the Union, the Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships, 2009.
Member States which have ratified or acceded to the Convention shall notify the Commission thereof within 6 months of the date of deposit of their instruments of ratification or accession with the Secretary-General of the IMO.
The Council will review the progress of the ratification by 31 December 2018.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75 of 2 December 1975 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (2), and in particular Articles 4 and 5 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 16 June 1978, the United Kingdom Government requested the Commission to invoke the procedure laid down in Articles 4 and 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "Automax 16 mm cine-pulse camera" should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, if the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 20 October 1978 within the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine this particular case;
Whereas this examination shows that the apparatus in question is an impulse camera used inter alia for time lapse photography of the nocturnal movement of slugs and the high speed data recording of gastropod responses in studies of the neuronal basis of behaviour ; whereas it is a multi-purpose apparatus which does not in itself have objective characteristics making it specially suited to pure scientific research and its use for research purposes cannot in itself give it the character of a scientific apparatus ; whereas it cannot, therefore, be regarded as a scientific apparatus,
The apparatus described as "Automax 16 mm cine-pulse camera" is not considered to be a scientific apparatus.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 13 February 2006
requiring Member States temporarily to take additional measures against the dissemination of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner et Buhrer) Nickle et al. (the pine wood nematode) as regards areas in Portugal, other than those in which it is known not to occur
(notified under document number C(2006) 345)
(2006/133/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), and in particular Article 16(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Where a Member State considers that there is an imminent danger of the introduction into its territory of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner et Buhrer) Nickle et al. (the pine wood nematode (PWN)), from another Member State, it should be authorised to temporarily take any additional measures necessary to protect itself from that danger.
(2) Portugal informed the other Member States and the Commission on 25 June 1999 that some samples of pine trees originating in its territory were identified as infested by PWN. The Commission has adopted Decisions 2000/58/EC (2) and 2001/218/EC (3) defining measures to be taken against PWN.
(3) On the basis of assessments by the Food and Veterinary Office, most recently in November 2004, additional information submitted by Portugal and official surveys carried out by the other Member States on wood, isolated bark and plants of Abies Mill., Cedrus Trew, Larix Mill., Picea A. Dietr., Pinus L., Pseudotsuga Carr. and Tsuga Carr., it appears that as a result of the application of an eradication programme in Portugal, the spread of PWN remains limited to the demarcated areas in Portugal. However, trees showing symptoms of infestation by PWN were still found during surveys of those areas.
(4) The implementation of the Portuguese mid-term eradication plan for PWN of February 2003, as amended in June 2003, was evaluated by the Standing Committee on Plant Health in its meetings of July 2004 and May 2005. During the latter meeting it was concluded that the aimed reduction of infection level in the demarcated zone had not been fully achieved so far.
(5) It is therefore necessary for Portugal to continue to take specific measures with respect to movements of wood, isolated bark and host plants within demarcated areas in Portugal and from such areas into other areas of Portugal and into the other Member States.
(6) It is also necessary that Portugal continues to take measures to control the spread of PWN with the aim of eradication. Therefore, an updated mid-term eradication plan to better control the spread of PWN with the aim of eradicating should be presented.
(7) The other Member States should continue to have the possibility to apply additional measures to protect their territories from PWN.
(8) The results of the specific measures and of the implementation of the mid-term plan should be assessed continuously, in particular on the basis of information to be provided by Portugal and the other Member States.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
For the purposes of this Decision, the following definitions shall apply:
(a) ‘the pine wood nematode (PWN)’: Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner et Buhrer) Nickle et al.;
(b) ‘susceptible wood and bark’: wood and isolated bark of conifers (Coniferales), except that of Thuja L.;
(c) ‘susceptible plants’: plants (other than fruit and seeds) of Abies Mill., Cedrus Trew, Larix Mill., Picea A. Dietr., Pinus L., Pseudotsuga Carr. and Tsuga Carr.
Until 31 March 2008, Portugal shall ensure that the conditions laid down in the Annex to this Decision are met in relation to susceptible wood, bark and plants, which are to be moved within or from demarcated areas in Portugal and defined as in accordance with Article 5, either to other areas in Portugal or to other Member States.
By 15 February 2006, Portugal shall present an updated mid-term eradication plan to control the spread of PWN with the aim of eradicating it. That plan shall include details on the management, within the demarcated area, of tree species known to be highly susceptible to PWN under the conditions in Portugal. This plan shall be reviewed by 30 April 2007 and 30 March 2008.
Member States of destination other than Portugal may:
(a) subject consignments of susceptible wood, bark and plants, coming from demarcated areas in Portugal and moved into their territory, to testing for the presence of PWN;
(b) take further appropriate steps to carry out official monitoring in respect of such consignments, to ascertain whether they comply with the relevant conditions specified in the Annex.
Member States shall conduct official annual surveys for PWN, on susceptible wood and bark and susceptible plants originating in their country, to determine whether there is any evidence of infestation by PWN.
Without prejudice to Article 16(1) of Directive 2000/29/EC, the results of such surveys shall be notified to the other Member States and the Commission by 15 December 2006 and 15 December 2007.
Portugal shall establish areas in which PWN is known not to occur, and demarcate areas (hereinafter called demarcated areas) comprised of a part in which PWN is known to occur and a part designated as buffer zone of not less than 20 km width surrounding that part, taking into account the results of the surveys referred to in Article 4.
The Commission shall compile a list of ‘areas’ in which PWN is known not to occur and convey such a list to the Standing Committee on Plant Health and to the Member States. Any areas in Portugal not comprised in the above compiled list, shall be deemed to be demarcated areas.
That list shall be updated according to the results of the surveys referred to in the first paragraph of Article 4 and to the findings notified under Article 16(1) of Directive 2000/29/EC.
Decision 2001/218/EC is hereby repealed.

of 13 September 1988
amending Annex II to Council Directive 66/402/EEC on the marketing of cereal seed
(88/506/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/402/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of cereal seed (1), as last amended by Directive 88/380/EEC (2), and in particular Article 21a thereof,
Whereas, according to present scientific and technical knowledge, it appears that certain varieties of oat (Avena sativa) of the 'naked oat' type have a potential value as fodder;
Whereas, however, it is difficult to produce seed of these varieties with a germination capacity equal to that normally achieved by seed of other oat varieties;
Whereas, in the light of the development of scientific and technical knowledge, it is therefore appropriate to reduce, for varieties of oat of the 'naked oat' type, the minimum germination capacity of 85 % of pure seed laid down for oats in Annex II to Directive 66/402/EEC;
Whereas this reduction should apply, in the first instance, for a limited period only, so that further technical data about these varieties can be collected and assessed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
Annex II to Directive 66/402/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. In the Table in section (2) (A), in column 2 ('Minimum germination'), after the figure 85 given for certified seed, 1st and 2nd generation of (inter alia) Avena sativa, the reference '(d)' is added.
2. In section (2) (B), the following condition is added:
'(d) In the case of varieties of Avena sativa which are officially classified as of the 'naked oat' type, Member States may, until 30 June 1990, reduce the minimum germination capacity to 75 % of pure seed. In such a case, the official label shall be endorsed "minimum germination capacity 75 %".'
Member States which make use of the possibility added by Article 1 (2) shall inform the Commission and the other Member States of the measures they take for this purpose.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0.5 | 0 |

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 30 October 2014
on the equivalence of the regulatory framework of Australia for central counterparties to the requirements of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council on OTC derivatives, central counterparties and trade repositories
(2014/755/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 July 2012 on OTC derivatives, central counterparties and trade repositories (1), and in particular Article 25(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The procedure for recognition of central counterparties (‘CCPs’) established in third countries set out in Article 25 of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 aims to allow CCPs established and authorised in third countries whose regulatory standards are equivalent to those laid down in that Regulation to provide clearing services to clearing members or trading venues established in the Union. That recognition procedure and the equivalence decision provided for therein thus contribute to the achievement of the overarching aim of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 to reduce systemic risk by extending the use of safe and sound CCPs to clear over-the-counter (‘OTC’) derivative contracts, including where those CCPs are established and authorised in a third country.
(2) In order for a third country legal regime to be considered equivalent to the legal regime of the Union in respect of CCPs, the substantial outcome of the applicable legal and supervisory arrangements should be equivalent to Union requirements in respect of the regulatory objectives they achieve. The purpose of this equivalence assessment is therefore to verify that the legal and supervisory arrangements of Australia ensure that CCPs established and authorised therein do not expose clearing members and trading venues established in the Union to a higher level of risk than the latter could be exposed to by CCPs authorised in the Union and, consequently, do not pose unacceptable levels of systemic risk in the Union.
(3) On 1 September 2013, the Commission received the technical advice of the European Securities and Markets Authority (‘ESMA’) on the legal and supervisory arrangements applicable to CCPs authorised in Australia. The technical advice concludes that all of the provisions in Title IV of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 are replicated by corresponding legally binding requirements which are applicable, at a jurisdictional level, to CCPs authorised in Australia.
(4) In accordance with Article 25(6) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, three conditions need to be fulfilled in order to determine that the legal and supervisory arrangements of a third country regarding CCPs authorised therein are equivalent to those laid down in that Regulation.
(5) According to the first condition, CCPs authorised in a third country must comply with legally binding requirements which are equivalent to the requirements laid down in Title IV of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012.
(6) The legally binding requirements of Australia for CCPs authorised therein consist of the Corporations Act 2001 (‘Corporations Act’), which together with the Corporations Regulations 2001 (‘Corporations Regulations’), establish the legal framework for clearing and settlement facilities (‘CS facilities’). Part 7.3 of the Corporations Act provides that before granting a licence to carry out the activities of clearing or settlement, the Minister must be satisfied, among other things, that the CCP concerned has adequate operating rules and procedures which conform to the applicable laws and regulations to ensure, as far as it is reasonably practicable, that systemic risk is reduced and that the CCP is operated in a fair and effective manner. The CCP must also have adequate arrangements for handling conflicts of interest and for enforcing its internal rules and procedures. The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (‘ASIC’) and the Reserve Bank of Australia (‘RBA’) advise the Minister regarding the granting of CS facilities' licences and changes of their internal rules and procedures, and are in charge of assessing, and in the case of ASIC of enforcing, CCPs' compliance with their obligations under the Corporations Act.
(7) ASIC provides regulatory guidance to regulated entities to explain specific issues already covered by legislation. In particular, ASIC revised its regulatory guidance on licensing and oversight of CS facilities' licences in December 2012 under the updated Regulatory Guide 211 ‘Clearing and settlement facilities: Australian and overseas operators’ (‘RG 211’). ASIC's RG 211 implements the Principles for Financial Market Infrastructures (‘PFMIs’) issued in April 2012 by the Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems (2) (‘CPSS’) and the International Organization of Securities Commission (‘IOSCO’), which are relevant for the obligations set out in the Corporations Act, and provides guidance to CCPs on how to comply with their obligations under the Corporations Act. Therefore, failure to comply with the Corporations Act as explained in RG 211 could entail enforcement action and sanctioning measures.
(8) RBA has the power, under the Corporations Act, to determine financial stability standards for the purpose of ensuring that CCPs operate in a way that causes or promotes the overall stability of the Australian financial system. In particular, in November 2012, RBA's Payments System Board approved the determination of new financial stability standards, the Financial Stability Standards for Central Counterparties (‘FSS’), which comprise 21 standards for CCPs, with accompanying sub-standards and guidance. Other than certain sub-standards, which came into effect on 31 March 2014, the FSS became effective in March 2013. The FSS are to be complied with by all licensed CCPs.
(9) The core principles for CS facilities set out in Part 7.3 of the Corporations Act and the Corporations Regulations, as explained under ASIC's RG 211, and the FSS determined by RBA (together ‘the primary rules’), set out the high-level standards with which CCPs must comply in order to obtain authorisation to provide clearing services in Australia. Those primary rules comprise the first tier of the legally binding requirements in Australia. In order to comply with the primary rules, CCPs adopt, in addition, their internal rules and procedures which must conform with the specific requirements set out in the Corporations Act and the Corporations Regulations, as explained under RG 211, and the FSS, which are submitted to the Minister prior to authorisation as a CS facility. Changes to the internal rules and procedures of CCPs must be notified to the Minister. The Minister can disallow changes in the internal rules and procedures of CCPs. The internal rules and procedures of CCPs have the effect of a contract and are legally binding on CCPs and their respective participants.
(10) The legally binding requirements set out in the primary rules applicable to CCPs authorised in Australia deliver substantial results equivalent to those of the requirements laid down in Title IV of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012.
(11) The Commission therefore concludes that the legal and supervisory arrangements of Australia ensure that CCPs authorised therein comply with legally binding requirements which are equivalent to the requirements laid down in Title IV of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012.
(12) According to the second condition under Article 25(6) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, the legal and supervisory arrangements of Australia in respect of CCPs authorised therein must provide for effective supervision and enforcement of those CCPs on an ongoing basis.
(13) CCPs authorised in Australia are subject to on-going supervision and oversight by ASIC and RBA. ASIC is responsible for enforcing CCPs' compliance with their obligations under the Corporations Act and in this respect, it conducts periodic assessments of compliance by CCPs with their licence obligations, other than their obligations relating to FSS and systemic risk reduction, and in particular with their duty to operate in a fair and effective manner to the extent it is reasonable to do so, and submits a report to the Minister, which is published. RBA monitors compliance by CCPs with their obligations under their respective licences and relating to financial stability and reduction of systemic risk, conducts periodic assessments of compliance by each CCP with the FSS and submits a report to the Minister, which is also published. CCPs authorised in Australia may receive written directions from the Minister and from ASIC. If a CCP fails to comply with a written direction, ASIC may apply to the courts which may order the CCP to comply with the written direction.
(14) The Commission therefore concludes that the legal and supervisory arrangements of Australia in respect of CCPs authorised therein provide for effective supervision and enforcement on an ongoing basis.
(15) According to the third condition under Article 25(6) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, the legal and supervisory arrangements of Australia must include an effective equivalent system for the recognition of CCPs authorised under third country legal regimes (‘third country CCPs’).
(16) Third country CCPs may apply for an ‘overseas clearing and settlement facility licence’ (‘an overseas CCP licence’) enabling them to provide in Australia some or all of the clearing services they are authorised to provide in their home country.
(17) The criteria applied to third country CCPs applying for an overseas CCP licence in Australia are comparable to those provided for third country CCPs applying for recognition under Article 25 of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012. As a prerequisite for recognition, the regulatory regime of the third country in which the CCP is authorised must be deemed ‘sufficiently equivalent’, in relation to the degree of protection from systemic risk and level of effectiveness and fairness of services it achieves, to the Australian regulatory regime for comparable domestic CCPs. The assessment of ‘sufficient equivalence’ involves similar considerations as those assessed under Regulation (EU) No 648/2012. The establishment of cooperation arrangements between the Australian authorities and the relevant foreign supervisory authorities is also required to grant an overseas CCP licence.
(18) It should therefore be considered that the legal and supervisory arrangements of Australia provide for an effective equivalent system for the recognition of third country CCPs.
(19) The conditions laid down in Article 25(6) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 can therefore be considered to be met by the legal and supervisory arrangements of Australia regarding CCPs authorised therein and those legal and supervisory arrangements should be considered to be equivalent to the requirements laid down in Regulation (EU) No 648/2012. The Commission, informed by ESMA, should continue monitoring the evolution of the Australian legal and supervisory framework for CCPs and the fulfilment of the conditions on the basis of which this decision has been taken.
(20) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the European Securities Committee,
For the purposes of Article 25 of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, the legal and supervisory arrangements of Australia applicable to CCPs authorised therein, consisting of Part 7.3 of the Corporations Act 2001 and the Corporations Regulations 2001, as explained under Regulatory Guidance 211 ‘Clearing and settlement facilities: Australian and overseas operators’, and the Financial Stability Standards for Central Counterparties, shall be considered to be equivalent to the requirements laid down in Regulation (EU) No 648/2012.
This Decision shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2078/92 of 30 June 1992 on agricultural production methods compatible with the requirements of the protection of the environment and the maintenance of the countryside(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2772/95(2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999 of 17 May 1999 on support for rural development from the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) and amending and repealing certain Regulations(3), and in particular Article 34 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 12 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1750/1999 of 23 July 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999 on support for rural development from the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF)(4), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2075/2000(5), lays down the conditions with which all agri-environment undertakings to extensify livestock farming or otherwise to manage livestock farming must comply. According to that Article, livestock density is defined taking into account all grazing livestock kept on the farm.
(2) In view of the difficult situation on the beef and veal market resulting from the sharp drop in demand, due in particular to consumers turning away from beef because of concerns about the increased number of bovine spongiform encephalopathy cases, more cattle are remaining on farms. These animals are taken into account when establishing the holding's stocking density and farmers may accordingly not receive the aid and be penalised for not complying with their undertaking.
(3) In order to avoid penalising farmers in these exceptional circumstances, a corrective flat-rate coefficient should be applied for a limited period, to avoid impairing the environmental value of such undertakings, to the number of livestock units recorded on the holding for the period in question when establishing the stocking density, provided that the farmer demonstrates the impact of this exceptional market situation on the extensive nature of the holding, without affecting the principle of extensification.
(4) If the application of the coefficient does not make it possible to comply with the livestock density laid down in the undertaking or if the difficult situation on the beef and veal market should persist beyond this period, thus making it impossible to comply with the environment undertakings relating, in particular, to the extensification of cattle farming, farmers should be allowed to withdraw their undertaking before expiry of the period covered by that undertaking or to modify their undertaking by removing the obligation to extensify cattle farming without the penalties normally provided for in these circumstances being applied, provided that the farmer demonstrates the impact of this exceptional market situation on the extensive nature of the holding.
(5) For reasons of equal treatment, these derogations should apply under the same conditions to agri-environment undertakings entered into under Regulation (EEC) No 2078/92.
(6) In view of the situation of farmers, this Regulation should enter into force immediately.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Agricultural Structures and Rural Development,
In the period between 15 October 2000 and 16 April 2001 inclusive and by way of derogation from Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 1750/1999, the number of livestock units recorded on a holding shall be multiplied by a coefficient of 0,8.
The coefficient of 0,8 shall apply under the same conditions to agri-environment undertakings entered into under Regulation (EEC) No 2078/92.
This measure shall apply if it can be proved, to the satisfaction of the Member State, that because of the exceptional market situation, cattle are being kept longer on the holding than is normally the case.
In the period between the date of entry into force of this Regulation and 15 June 2001, farmers may withdraw the agri-environment undertaking given pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 2078/92 or Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999, or the part of that undertaking concerning the extensification of cattle farming, without the penalties provided for in such situations being applied.
This measure shall apply if it can be proved, to the satisfaction of the Member State, that because of the exceptional market situation, cattle are being kept longer on the holding than is normally the case.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 608/82 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 1 February 1983, France 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 'Bomem - Fourier Transform Spectrophotometer, model DA 3-01', ordered on 29 September 1982 and intended to be used for taking absorption, magneto-absorption, piezo-absorption and luminescence readings at low temperature on impurities and defects in silicon, semiconductors in groups III V and II VI and also for magnetoreflection measurements on graphite interpolating compounds, 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 22 June 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 spectrometer; whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the high resolution, 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 apparatus described as 'Bomem - Fourier Transform Spectrophotometer, model DA 3-01', which is the subject of an application by France of 1 February 1983, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

of 7 November 2000
modifying the common principles of the European system of national and regional accounts in the Community (ESA) 95 as concerns taxes and social contributions and amending Council Regulation (EC) No 2223/96
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 285 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(2),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty(3),
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 2223/96 of 25 June 1996 on the European system of national and regional accounts in the Community(4) (ESA 95) contains the reference framework of common standards, definitions, classifications and accounting rules for drawing up the accounts of the Member States for the statistical requirements of the Community, in order to obtain comparable results between Member States.
(2) Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 2223/96 sets out the conditions under which the Commission may adopt amendments to the ESA 95 methodology which are intended to clarify and improve its content.
(3) It is therefore necessary to refer the clarifications concerning the recording of taxes and social contributions in ESA 95 to the European Parliament and to the Council as these clarifications modify basic concepts.
(4) Article 2 of the protocol on the excessive deficit procedure relating to Article 104 of the Treaty states that the government deficit means net borrowing of the general government sector as defined in the European system of integrated economic accounts (ESA).
(5) The Statistical Programme Committee (SPC), set up by Council Decision 89/382/EEC, Euratom(5), the Committee on Monetary, Financial and Balance of Payments Statistics (CMFB), set up by Council Decision 91/115/EEC(6), and the Gross National Product Committee (GNP Committee) can state their opinion on the country-specific accounting treatment of taxes and social contributions whenever they consider it relevant.
(6) The SPC and the CMFB have been consulted.
(7) The measures necessary for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 2223/96 should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission(7),
Purpose
The purpose of this Regulation is to modify the common principles of ESA 95 as concerns taxes and social contributions so as to ensure comparability and transparency among the Member States.
General principles
The impact on the net lending/borrowing of general government of taxes and social contributions recorded in the system shall not include amounts unlikely to be collected.
Accordingly, the impact on general government net lending/borrowing of taxes and social contributions recorded in the system on an accrual basis shall be equivalent over a reasonable amount of time to the corresponding amounts actually received.
Treatment of taxes and social contributions in the accounts
Taxes and social contributions recorded in the accounts may be derived from two sources: amounts evidenced by assessments and declarations or cash receipts.
(a) If assessments and declarations are used, the amounts shall be adjusted by a coefficient reflecting assessed and declared amounts never collected. As an alternative treatment, a capital transfer to the relevant sectors could be recorded equal to the same adjustment. The coefficients shall be estimated on the basis of past experience and current expectations in respect of assessed and declared amounts never collected. They shall be specific to different types of taxes and social contributions. The determination of these coefficients shall be country-specific, the method being cleared with the Commission (Eurostat) beforehand.
(b) If cash receipts are used, they shall be time-adjusted so that the cash is attributed when the activity took place to generate the tax liability (or when the amount of tax was determined, in the case of some income taxes). This adjustment may be based on the average time difference between the activity (or the determination of the amount of tax) and cash tax receipt.
Verification
1. The Commission (Eurostat) shall verify the implementation by Member States of the principles laid down in this Regulation.
2. From 2000 onwards, Member States shall provide the Commission (Eurostat) before the end of each year with a detailed description of the methods they plan to use for the different categories of taxes and social contributions in order to implement this Regulation.
3. The methods applied and the possible revisions shall be subject to agreement between each Member State concerned and the Commission (Eurostat).
4. The Commission (Eurostat) shall keep the SPC, the CMFB and the GNP Committee informed of the methods and the calculation of the aforementioned coefficients.
Implementation
Within 6 months of the adoption of this Regulation, the Commission shall introduce in the text of Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 2223/96, pursuant to the procedure in Article 4 thereof, the changes needed for the application of this Regulation.
of Regulation (EC) No 2223/96 shall be replaced by the following:
"Article 4
1. The Commission shall be assisted by the Statistical Programme Committee (hereinafter referred to as 'the Committee').
2. Where reference is made to this Article, Articles 4 and 7 of Decision 1999/468/EC shall apply, having regard to the provisions of Article 8 thereof.
The period laid down in Article 4(3) of Decision 1999/468/EC shall be set at three months.
3. The Committee shall adopt its rules of procedure."
Entry into force
1. This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
2. Member States may ask the Commission for a transitional period of no more than two years in which to bring their accounting systems into line with this Regulation.
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 |

DECISION No 2239/2004/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 17 November 2004
amending Council Decision 1999/784/EC concerning Community participation in the European Audiovisual Observatory
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 157(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (2),
After consulting the Committee of the Regions,
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (3),
Whereas:
(1) In Decision 1999/784/EC (4) the Council decided that the Community should become a member of the European Audiovisual Observatory (hereinafter ‘the Observatory’) in order to support the latter's activity. The Observatory contributes to strengthening the competitiveness of the Community's audiovisual industry by improving the transfer of information to the industry, in particular to small and medium-sized enterprises, and promoting a clearer view of the market.
(2) Multimedia and the new technologies will play an ever greater role in the audiovisual sector. The Observatory could continue to play its important role if its capacity to follow these new developments were strengthened in due course.
(3) Although free movement of persons, goods and services is enshrined in the Treaty, the lack of information on the many differences in national regulations in the fields of fiscal and labour law acts as an obstacle to the free movement of audiovisual goods and services. The Observatory could offer a positive contribution by collecting and providing expertise and systematic information in the fields of fiscal and labour law, copyright and consumer protection law.
(4) Further to the European Parliament's resolution of 4 September 2003 on Television without Frontiers, which called for an annual benchmarking report on making digital TV accessible for people with disabilities, the Observatory should be invited to collect data on an annual basis on the levels of television services provided in all Member States of the European Union or of the Council of Europe to assist disabled people, such as subtitling, audio description and sign language.
(5) Community participation in the Observatory has proved effective in supporting the latter's activity.
(6) It is appropriate to continue such participation during the period necessary for the Observatory to adopt guidelines for its future activity, from 2006 onwards.
(7) Decision 1999/784/EC should therefore be amended accordingly,
Article 5 of Decision 1999/784/EC shall be replaced by the following:

Having regard to Council Directive 68/193/EEC of 9 April 1968 on the marketing of material for the negative propagation of the vine(1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular Article 14 thereof,
Having regard to the request submitted by France,
Whereas:
(1) In the Community, in particular in France the production of certain vine propagating materials satisfying the requirements of Directive 68/193/EEC, has been insufficient in 1998 and is therefore not adequate to meet that country's needs.
(2) It is not possible to cover this demand satisfactorily with material satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive.
(3) France should therefore be authorised to permit the marketing for a period expiring on 15 March 2000, of material of a category to which less stringent requirements apply.
(4) Other Member States likely to supply France with such material should furthermore be authorised to permit its marketing to this end.
(5) In France the propagating material will be imported in the form of dormant buds to be used for grafting; whereas, according to the request, the rooted grafts produced in the Community from such propagating materials are then intended for export to Switzerland.
(6) This authorisation may only be used in accordance with the plant health conditions and requirements laid down by Council Directive 77/93/EEC(2), as last amended by Commission Directive 1999/53/EC(3), and in any implementing measures made thereof.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
France is authorised to permit, for a permit expiring on 15 March 2000, the marketing on its territory of a maximum of 195000 dormant buds for grafting harvested in Switzerland which do not satisfy the requirements laid down in Directive 68/193/EEC as regards certification and inspection of standard propagating material, provided that the official label is brown and bears the words "less stringent requirements".
Member States other than the applicant Member State are also authorised to permit, on the terms set out in Article 1 and for the purposes intended by the applicant Member State, the marketing in their territories of the material authorised to be marketed under this Decision.
The authorisations under Articles 1 and 2 shall be without prejudice to Council Directive 77/93/EEC and any implementing measures thereof.
Member States shall immediately notify the Commission and the other Member States of the quantities of propagating material permitted to be marketed in their territories under this Decision.

Whereas, in respect of women's suits products of category No 74 (order No 40.0740) the relevant ceiling amounts to 64 000 pieces;

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 4102/88 of 16 December 1988 opening, allocating and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for certain plywoods of coniferous species (1989)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Community has undertaken to open an annual Community tariff quota of a least 600 000 cubic metres for certain plywoods of coniferous species; whereas this quota has been raised to 650 000 cubic metres by virtue of an agreement concluded with the United States and approved by Decision 87/224/EEC (1); whereas, under Protocol 11 to the 1972 Act of Accession, the Community is required to open each year autonomous nil duty Community tariff quotas for the same products, the volume thereof to be decided annually when it is established that all possibilities of supply on the internal market of the Community have been exhausted during the period for which the quotas are open; whereas the condition laid down by the said Protocol does not seem to be met at the moment; whereas, in these circumstances, it is appropriate as an initial measure not to exceed the contractual volume of 650 000 cubic metres; whereas the setting of the quota volume at this level does not exclude, moreover, recourse to the provisions of the abovementioned Protocol 11 during the quota period; whereas, therefore, the tariff quota in question should be opened on 1 January 1989;
Whereas, for 1989, maintenance of the quotas for the Member States is necessary bearing in mind that it is impossible for the administration concerned in each Member State to introduce, in 1989, the administrative and technical basis for Community administration of the quota;
Whereas, to allow for import trends for the products concerned, the quota should be divided into two parts, the first being allocated among the Member States, and the second held as a reserve to cover any subsequent requirements of Member States which have used up their initial shares; whereas, in order to afford importers some degree of certainty, the first part of the quota should be set at a relatively high level, about 60 % of its full amount; whereas, on the basis of Member States' estimates of their needs, the initial shares could be as set out in Article 2;
Whereas Member States may use up their initial shares at different rates; whereas, to provide for this eventuality and to avoid any break in the continuity of supplies, any Member State which has used up its initial share should draw additional shares in quantities corresponding to their real requirements, as many times as the reserve allows; whereas this form of administration requires close cooperation between Member States and the Commission and the latter must be able to monitor the extent to which the quota volume has been used up and to inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas if, during the quota period, the Community reserve is almost totally used up, it is essential that Member States return to the said reserve the whole of the unused proportion of their initial quota and of any drawings made, in order to avoid one part of the Community tariff quota remaining unused in one Member State when 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 quota shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
1. From 1 January to 31 December 1989, the customs duty applicable to imports of the following products shall be suspended at the level indicated and within the limits of a Community tariff quota as shown herewith:
Order No CN code Description Amount of tariff quota (mÂł) Rate of duty (%) 09.0013 ex 4412 19 00 ex 4412 99 90 Plywood of coniferous species, without the addition of other substances:
- Of a thickness greater than 8,5 mm, the faces of which are not further prepared than the peeling process - Sanded, and of a thickness greater than 18,5 mm 650 000 0 Within the limits of this tariff quota Spain and Portugal shall apply duties calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions set out in the 1985 Act of Accession.
2. Imports of the products in question may not be charged against this tariff quota if they are already free of customs duties under other preferential tariff arrangements.
1. The tariff quota referred to in Article 1 (1) shall be divided into two parts.
2. A first part of 390 000 cubic metres shall be allocated among certain Member States; these quota shares shall, subject to Article 4, be valid until 31 December 1989, and shall be as follows:
(cubic metres) Benelux100 932 Denmark42 627 Germany61 620 Greece39 France7 215 Ireland5 850 Italy15 717 United Kingdom156 000 3. The second part, amounting to 260 000 cubic metres shall constitute the reserve.
4. If products of the type in question are presented in Spain or Portugal and supported by a declaration as to entry into free circulation which is accepted by the customs services, the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission and draw a corresponding amount under the conditions laid down in Article 3.
1. If a Member State's initial share as specified in Article 2 (2), or of that share less any portion returned to the reserve where Article 4 has been applied has been used up entirely, the following provisions shall apply.
If an importer presents, in a Member State, a declaration as to entry into free circulation comprising a request for preferential treatment for a product covered by this Regulation, and this request is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall, by notifying the Commission, draw an amount corresponding to its requirements from the reserve referred to in Article 2 (3).
Requests to draw on the reserve together with the date of acceptance of the customs declarations must be forwarded to the Commission without delay.
Drawings shall be granted by the Commission on the basis of the date of acceptance of goods for entry into free circulation by the customs authorities of the Member State concerned, provided a sufficient amount remains in the reserve.
If a Member State does not use the quantities drawn it shall return them to the reserve as soon as possible.
If requests for drawings exceed the amount remaining in the reserve, an allocation shall be made pro rata. The Member States shall be informed by the Commission in accordance with the same procedure.
1. Once at least 80 % of the reserve of the tariff quota, as defined in Article 2 (3), has been used up, the Commission shall inform the Member States thereof.
2. It shall also notify Member States in this case of the date from which drawings on the Community reserve must be made according to the provisions of Article 3.
3. Within a period laid down by the Commission as from the date referred to in paragraph 2, Member States shall be required to return to the reserve the whole of the quantities which have not been used, by that date, within the meaning of Article 6 (4).
The Commission shall keep an account of the shares opened by the Member States pusuant to Articles 2 and 3 and, as soon as it has been notified, shall inform each State of the extent to which the reserve has been used up.
1. Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that additional drawings of shares pursuant to Article 3 are carried out in such a way that imports may be charged without interruption against their accumulated shares of the Community quota.
2. Member States shall ensure that importers of the products in question have free access to the shares allocated to them.
3. Member States shall charge imports of the products in question against their shares as and when the products are entered with the customs authorities for free circulation.
4. The extent to which a Member State has used up its share shall be determined on the basis of imports charged against that share in accordance with paragraph 3.
At the Commission's request, Member States shall inform it of the imports actually charged against their quota shares.
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 1989.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

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 organization of the market in cereals(1), and in particular Article 13(8) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13(8) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides that the export refund applicable to cereals on the day on which application for an export licence is made must be applied on request to exports to be effected during the period of validity of the export licence. In this case, a corrective amount may be applied to the refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down certain detailed rules under Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 on the granting of export refunds on cereals and the cereals and the measures to be taken in the event of disturbance on the market for cereals(2), allows for the fixing of a corrective amount for the products listed in Article 1(1)(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92. That corrective amount must be calculated taking account of the factors referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union and repealing Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 (1) (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Financial Regulation’), and in particular Article 84 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1268/2012 of 29 October 2012 on the rules of application of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union (2) (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Rules of Application’), and in particular Article 94 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 58/2003 of 19 December 2002 laying down the statute for executive agencies to be entrusted with certain tasks in the management of Community programmes (3), and in particular Article 12(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (4), and in particular Article 2(1)(i) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on official controls performed to ensure the verification of compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules (5), and in particular Article 66(1)(b) and (c) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 lays down general rules for the performance of official controls to verify compliance with rules aiming, in particular, at preventing, eliminating or reducing to acceptable levels risks to humans and animals and guaranteeing fair practices in feed and food trade and protecting consumer interests. Article 51 of that Regulation provides that the Commission may organise training courses for the staff of the competent authorities of Member States responsible for the official controls referred to in that Regulation, which may be opened to participants from third countries, in particular developing countries. Those courses may include in particular training on Community feed and food law and animal health and animal welfare rules.
(2) Article 2(1)(i) of Directive 2000/29/EC on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community provides the legal instrument for organising courses in the field of plant health.
(3) The ‘Better training for safer food’ programme has been established by the Commission in order to achieve the aims set out in Regulation (EC) No 882/2004. The Commission Communication of 20 September 2006 on ‘Better training for safer food’ (6) explores options for future organisation of training.
(4) The 2013 work programme on training in the field of food and feed safety, animal health, animal welfare and plant health for the implementation of ‘Better training for safer food’ programme in Member States should therefore be adopted.
(5) Commission Decision 2008/544/EC (7) of 20 June 2008 transformed the ‘Executive Agency for the Public Health Programme’ into the ‘Executive Agency for Health and Consumers’ (hereafter ‘the Agency’). Commission Decision C(2008) 4943 of 9 September 2008 delegated to the Agency certain management and programme implementation tasks pertaining to the food safety training measures performed pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 and Directive 2000/29/EC. A subsidy should therefore be granted to the Agency in 2013 for financing the operating costs of the activities related to the ‘Better training for safer food’ programme.
(6) In accordance with Article 84 of the Financial Regulation and Article 94(1) of the Rules of Application, the commitment of expenditure from the budget of the European Union shall be preceded by a financing decision setting out the essential elements of the action involving expenditure and adopted by the institution or the authorities to which powers have been delegated by the institution.
(7) The 2013 work programme being a sufficiently detailed framework, the present decision constitutes a financing decision within the meaning of Article 94(2) and (3) of the Rules of Application.
(8) For the application of this Decision, it is appropriate to define the term ‘substantial change’, within the meaning of Article 94(4) of the Rules of Application.
(9) Pursuant to Article 92 of the Financial Regulation, the validation, authorisation and payment of expenditure must be completed within the time limits laid down in the Rules of Application. Those rules are also to specify the circumstances in which creditors paid late are entitled to receive default interest charged to the line from which the principal was paid.
(10) This Decision should therefore provide rules on the payment of default interest due for late payments related to actions included in the 2013 work programme,
The work programme for the implementation in 2013 of the ‘Better training for safer food’ programme as set out in the Annex is hereby adopted. It constitutes a financing decision in the meaning of Article 84 of the Financial Regulation.
1. The total amount of the financial contribution for the implementation of the work programme shall be EUR 16 170 000, to be financed from the following budget lines of the general budget of the European Union for 2013:
(a) budget line No 17 04 07 01: EUR 14 200 000;
(b) budget line No 17 04 04 01: EUR 600 000;
(c) budget line No 17 01 04 05: EUR 200 000;
(d) budget line No 17 01 04 31: EUR 1 170 000.
2. The amount provided for in paragraph 1(d) shall be paid to the Executive Agency for Health and Consumers and shall constitute an operating subsidy.
3. Default interest due for late payment may also be paid from the budget lines referred to in point 1(a) and (b), in accordance with Article 92 of the Financial Regulation.
Cumulated changes of the allocations to the specific actions covered by the work programme not exceeding 20 % of the maximum financial contribution provided for in Article 2(1) shall not be considered to be substantial within the meaning of Article 94(4) of the Rules of Application, provided that they do not significantly affect the nature and objective of the work programme.
The authorising officer may adopt such changes in accordance with the principles of sound financial management and of proportionality. | 0 | 0.333333 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

| COMMISSION DECISION of 26 July 1995 accepting undertakings offered in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of ferro-silico-manganese originating in Russia, Georgia, Ukraine, Brazil and South Africa and terminating the proceeding against Georgia (95/418/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3283/94 of 22 December 1994 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1251/95 (2), and in particular Article 23 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 (3) on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community, as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 522/94 (4), and in particular Articles 9 and 10 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
(1) The Commission, by Regulation (EC) No 3119/94 (5) (hereinafter referred to as the 'provisional duty Regulation`), imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports into the Community of ferro-silico-manganese (FeSiMn) originating in Russia, Ukraine, Brazil and South Africa and falling within CN code 7202 30 00. No provisional anti-dumping duty was imposed on imports of the product concerned originating in Georgia. By Regulation (EC) No 866/95 (6), the Council extended the validity of the duty for a period not exceeding two months.
(2) In the subsequent procedure, it was established that definitive anti-dumping measures should be taken in order to eliminate injurious dumping. The findings and conclusions on all aspects of the investigation are set out in Council Regulation (EC) No 2413/95 (7).
(3) Having been informed of these conclusions, the Ukrainian authorities, in conjunction with two Ukrainian exporters, and the two South African exporters, offered undertakings to the Commission with regard to the import prices in the Community pursuant to Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88.
(4) The minimum prices set out in the undertakings for exports to the Community are at a level sufficient to eliminate injurious dumping.
(5) In addition, since the Ukrainian authorities, the two Ukrainian exporting companies and the two South African exporters have undertaken to submit detailed and regular sales information to the Commission and not to enter into direct or indirect compensatory arrangements with their customers and since exports from both countries have been made through a limited number of purchasers, it has been concluded that the correct observance of the undertakings can effectively be monitored by the Commission.
(6) As far as Ukraine in concerned, the Government, implementing two Presidential decrees, dated August and November 1994, set up an Interministerial Commission on anti-dumping investigations of goods originating in Ukraine, in order to prevent the export of Ukrainian goods at dumped prices. In this framework the Ukrainian Government will operate an export licensing system for the duration of the undertakings which will ensure that all imports into the Community benefiting from the exemption of the obligation to pay anti-dumping duties subsequent to the undertakings, have Ukrainian origin, have been produced, will be exported and invoiced directly by the exporters concerned to first unrelated buyers in the Community at prices not below the minimum price laid down in the undertakings. Any intended exports of the product by the exporters subject to the undertakings from the territory of Ukraine to the Community, whether directly or indirectly, which do not meet these criteria, will not receive an export licence.
(7) One South African exporter sells a part of its exports to the Community through a related importer in the Community. The undertaking provides for sales by the related importer to be incorporated in the minimum price mechanism and monitoring procedure.
(8) Under these circumstances, the undertakings offered by the Ukrainian authorities, in conjunction with two Ukrainian exporters, and by the two South African exporters are considered acceptable and the investigation can, therefore, be terminated with respect to the Ukrainian and South African exporters concerned. Where there is reason to believe that an undertaking is being infringed, a provisional duty may be imposed pursuant to Articles 7 and 8 (10) of Regulation (EC) No 3283/94 and, should the conditions of Article 8 (9) of the Regulation be met, a definitive anti-dumping duty will be imposed.
(9) As far as imports of FeSiMn originating in Georgia are concerned, the investigation confirmed the findings reported in the provisional duty Regulation, that imports of FeSiMn from Georgia were de minimis and, therefore, did not cause injury to the Community industry. Such a finding has not been contested by either the Community industry or the other exporters. Consequently, the proceeding should be terminated with respect to imports of FeSiMn originating in Georgia.
(10) When the Advisory Committee was consulted on the acceptance of the undertakings offered some objections were raised. Therefore, in accordance with Articles 9 (1) and 10 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, the Commission sent a report to the Council on the result of the consultations and a proposal for the acceptance of the undertakings. As the Council has not decided otherwise within one month, this Decision should be adopted. No objections were raised concerning the termination of the proceecing with relation to Georgia,
The undertakings offered by the Ukrainian authorities in conjunction with Nikopol Ferro Alloy Plant and Zaporozhye Ferro Alloy Plant, Ukraine and by Highveld Steel and Vanadium Corporation Limited and Samancor Limited, South Africa, in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of Ferro-Silico-Manganese originating in Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Brazil and South Africa and falling within CN code 7202 30 00 are hereby accepted.
The investigation in respect of these exporters is hereby terminated.
The proceeding concerning imports of ferro-silico-manganese originating in Georgia is hereby terminated. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
